    Best Game Idea Ever

    Ok i figured out how to make games here work witrhout alliances and boring crap liek that, only super fun stuff....

    mystery roles... as in no one knows what roels there aqre and how many there are. maybe there's a guardian, maybe not, maybe 2, same with anything... so you can al lclaim to be whatever the hell you want to be, doesn't mean jack... 2 people can claim to be the same thing, doesn't mean one's a wolf.. etc I think this would fix allllllll the problems that there's been recently
    but for now... postCount++

    I support the above idea.

    Although it just means random lynchings, and how does wolfings go? Everyone sends in a PM and it's tallied?

      I was just thinking about doing this the other day. I've came out with a pretty long system that I might run out for the next TWG.

      I just planned on it being a TWG with as much incomplete information as possible.

        This was actually proposed once, by I forget who (Afro?). No one knows the number of reds or blues, much less who they are/what they do.
        I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

          I like it, course I would like it with a list of the possible roles and nothing outside that list is used. (There could even be roles that aren't used at all on the list.)

          But I really like the idea of not knowing how many of each role there is in the game even if what I suggested isn't ideal.

          EDIT: I would come out as a seer regardless of what role I would get. XD

              I was going to say this. Wasn't it played?

              Edit: Coming out as the seer takes a lot of the fun out of a game, IMO. Basically, as has been stated in the current game, players begin to rely on that person to carry the burden for them. Sure, it's great to be able to "look" at a wolf and be able to vote for him without having to offer proof, but if you're any good at the game, you won't need to "see" anyone.

                It was eb.

                I'm also behind this idea completely. I'd imagine eb himself wouldn't mind playing as well.

                  I would definitely like this game, because not knowing who I am means there's a lot less pressure to put on myself. I WOULD PLAY IT.




                  Ps I once had an idea like this once, but it's not very similar. Technically, it wouldn't be a werewolf game, as much as a fun experiment on Human-Acting Behavior. Everyone would be told it's a regular game, but the game host would be the only person that knows that everyone is human, and he's only saying that roles are assigned. Wolfings would be done by the host by random, and everyone in the game is green. I figured it was a pretty neat idea, but I also figured at the end of the game everyone would be PISSED at the game host, and it would have to not count as a Werewolf Game.

                    Omega, I thought of that too.

                    I also thought of having an all wolf game like that. Couldn't figure out a way to make it work though. Doesn't really matter though, since neither will ever happen anyway.

                        This was done once at BMS. I would advise against doing it again.

                            I had an idea based on this sort of idea. Basically, it would be a City of Heroes type story, where every player had a power, but nobody knew what it was. Whether they lied about their powers or not was their choice, but there was always the possibility that someone else could use their power to find out if they are telling the truth.

                            It'd be pretty chaotic.

                              Maybe just for discussion purposes, the host would reveal at one of the roles that are in the game each day.
