The next jTWG

[DiscoBobbyPARANOiA]

I don't know if anyone has already decided what's going on with the next jTWG as far as hosting, but if it were at all possible I would like to either host it or not play and know all the roles.

I've read through quite a few jTWGs and TWGs, and I think it would prove an extremely interesting experience if I could watch a game while knowing all of the roles. I'm sure that if I neither play nor host and I ask for the roles I may be laughed at, which is why I ask to host possibly. I don't know if people get to host because they earn it, or their seniority earns it for them, or whatever the process is, which is why I ask.

If I were to host the next jTWG I would want to see something like...

2 Wolves
6 Humans
1 Seer
1 Guardian

since the last two games have been seer psychic.

I'm expecting a solid 'no' to everything written here, but hey, it's worth a shot, and would be more enjoyable than playing, in my opinion.

Humans will win this one. The seer can come out, and reveal all his visions because of the guardian.

MWs are cool

Re: The next jTWG

Add a master wolf. That would increase the chances of a seer seering the masterwolf and have him come up human so that the wolves have a better shot.

Plus, the players elect their own hosts after the current jtwg is over. And the current jtwg is in the beginning.

Re: The next jTWG

It is because only one person want to host for the past two games, if there's more than one host then we vote on it like TWG.

Re: The next jTWG

I'd do it any format that was agreed on, I would just like to host if that'd be ok ^_^

Obviously I'll have to wait until the current one is over, but if anyone has any objections, let me know.

If you host, Stoic cant play, and you know why lol

Re: The next jTWG

I figured that would be said, but wouldn't that be a different situation than anything previously?

So that everone knows, StoicRoivaS is my brother, we live in the same house.

I'm not trying to push the issue, but I would not like my hosting to affect his playing if possible. I think that the reason that people could not know each other IRL and play a game together was because people would act differently... say x is a wolf, and y is human. X will try to not talk about TWG IRL because he knows that y is human, and he could be suspicious. (it's easier to lie over the internet.) The difference is that I would already know he was a wolf, and he would know I'm host. Thus, it turns into about the same thing as me playing jTWG and talking to wilkin on AIM while he is hosting.

Also, my computer has a 3 minute screen saver with a 16 character alpha-numeric password, and he won't be able to get on it if he wants.

Again, I'm not trying to push the issue, I want all points heard and I want a clear answer after said points are thought through. I will follow this answer fully, I just want it to be the most reasonable it can be.

Re: The next jTWG

I was under the assumption that a person who knows another IRL is allowed to play in a game hosted by that person, just not play together.

Re: The next jTWG

I was thinking about how the game would be set up, and I'm looking for something a little different than the last two games.

I found a role online called the 'hellhoud' which is a wolf. It said 'whenever the hellhound attacks someone at night, if they attack the guardian, he dies, if they attack whoever the guardian guards, they both die' Since the wolf attacks are as a group, I assume that means 'when he wolves attack'

I would make it so the 'hellhound' (I'm assuming there's a different name for it here, please tell me what that is) would kill the guardian and whoever he is guarding, if the wolves attack ether one, but only as long as the hellhound is alive. I would try to balance this by making the game look like this:

11 players
1 Seer
1 Psychic
1 Guardian
1 Masterwolf
1 Hellhound
6 Humans

This can be changed as anyone sees fit, but I think it would be an exciting game, and would prevent the seer from comign out and being guarded even more than just a masterwolf. It would make an aliance something to work towards.

Re: The next jTWG

probably drop the psychic

But yea the hellhound would definitely stop alliances from being publically formed.

EDIT: Actually nevermind, hellhound would be the same as not having a guardian at all since there would be little reason for the guardian to guard people unless he thought the hellhound was dead.

[DiscoBobbyPARANOiA]

Re: The next jTWG

But there is a guardian, and he can guard people still. There's a 22% chance that the hellhound's ability will take effect (if a random vote is in place, that is) each day. Thus, if the game lasts 5 days, it will take effect once, by probability. The game will last most likely 3-5 days, and the role of the psychic offsets the wolves advantage with the double kill possibility.

Edit:
Actually. Now I understand what you're saying. The guardian's role won't take effect unless the hellhound is dead.

Hmm...

Re: The next jTWG

Well, whoever has any ideas, let me know ^_^

Re: The next jTWG

No, the players in the game have normally elected the next host. Each host submitted their idea for a game to the previous host and then he displays them in a thread. Then the people who play vote the host.
