Clue WW (discussion thread)

[Internet Flea]

Role powers (scries and wolf powers) affect anyone anywhere unless otherwise stated.

Town:

Spoiler

Show

Avery Boddy: Town Power Role scrier (scries target as Boddy/no Boddy)
Otto Boddy: Item scrier (sees what item target player holds)
Bessy Boddy: Room scrier (sees every player in the targeted room)
Hugo "Big" Boddy: Follows targeted player, protects them if attacked. Voided for a night following a successful protection.
Annie, Boddy, Buddy Boddy, Sunny Boddy, Luna Boddy: Masons
No Boddy: villagers

Experts: There would be one expert for every weapon with the exception of the Knife. That player would know when their weapon of expertise is in the same room they are, but not who is holding it.

Wolves

Spoiler

Show

Honey Mustard: Item Devil (sees what item target player holds)
Pearl White: Voider (can void a person or a room; a voided person cannot use powers or items, a voided room will result in all searches in that room failing)
Prunilla Plum: Room Devil (sees every player in the targeted room)
Rich Green: Disguiser (targeted player scries as role of Rich's choice)
Dan Peacock: Role Devil (sees target player's role)
Will Scarlet: Thief/Reverse Thief (can steal an item from a player, or plant an item on a player without their knowledge)

Items

Items can be passed during the night, with no limit on how many a player can hold. (So the wolves can pass all their weapons to one person if they want.) Players are informed if they are given an item, with the exception of a reverse theft.

Weapons (Every wolf starts with one)
Only one weapon can be used during the night. Wolves can vote to decide which one it will be. (This includes any additional items they find to kill).

Spoiler

Show

Candlestick: narrates as "killed with a blunt instrument"
Pipe: narrates as "killed with a blunt instrument"
Wrench: narrates as "killed with a blunt instrument"
Knife: narrates as "killed with a sharp instrument"; scries as a random item decided at game start.
Revolver: Can be used to kill anyone in any room; only two shots; narrates as "killed with the revolver"
Noose: Used as the night begins; target is hanged in the morning and day ends. The noose is passed to a random player once used. Narrates as "hung outside with the noose"

Wolves can either use their weapon on a target, in which case they will follow them (with the exceptions of the Noose and Revolver), or they can use it in a room, in which case they will attack a random person they see in that room (but only if they find someone through a search).

Other Items

Items can be found in rooms by searching for items during the night. They can have a wide range of effects, and the ones listed below are only a partial list.

Spoiler

Show

Helmet: Protects against blunt instruments.
Mirror: Sees which room targeted player enters without having to follow them.
Tacks: Anyone following you in the night is voided and revealed to have been tacked.
Plate: Protects against sharp instruments.
flashlight: Keeps the room lit and voids all other actions happening in it.
Cane: Can be used to fight off the lynch mob (day bane, village only). Can be used to kill a target, narrates as "killed with a blunt instrument"

Players may choose to follow another player instead of choosing a room. They will end up in the same room as the player they are following, but will not be informed which room it is but will only be informed which room it is if their target knowingly picks one (not following someone else, not being misdirected). Additionally, they will automatically search the room for people, only finding the person they followed (or the secret passage that person used.) If the target used a secret passage, the follower will only follow them if they already knew of that secret passage; if they do not, they will find it in the night (but they still won't know which room it's in )

(Players targeting other players with room-specific actions will automatically follow them unless they specify otherwise.)

Rooms:

Spoiler

Show

There are nine five rooms to choose from.
Kitchen
Ballroom
Conservatory
Dining Room
Billiard Room
Library
Lounge
Hall
Study

There may or may not be a tenth sixth room, that may or may not contain a rocket launcher.

(Probably not.)


During the night, players can choose to enter a room; once inside, they can search it for either items, secret passages or other people. This is in addition to any item or power use for the night (but following negates the ability to search; the follower will either see the person he was following, or if the target used a secret passage the follower did not know about, the secret passage they used to elude him).

Secret Passages

Spoiler

Show

Secret passages will take you to another room, but they must have been found on a prior night. Finding a secret passage will grant access to it from either side (so you could find one in the Lounge that connects to the Billiards Room and use it to get from the Billiards Room to the Lounge.) Followers will only follow someone through a secret passage if the follower had previously discovered that secret passage as well.

Some rooms may not have secret passages, and many have more than one. Secret passages can be blocked by certain items during the night, trapping people in their rooms.

[Penguinator]

It all sounds very complicated.

[Internet Flea]

Does it?

...Dang.

[Penguinator]

To be fair, I haven't sat down and tried to absorb the rules, I've just looked them over.

[usourselves&we]

Sure it sounds crazy but we say, IN!

[CeresianMemento]

It's an interesting idea, although it does look a touch complex. I think that I'll have to think about joining this one. When does recruitment for this end?

[Internet Flea]

I'm going to say... 30 players?

And a narrator or two?

[Ramsus]

Well, pretty sure you already know I'm in.

[CeresianMemento]

I guess I'm in, since you never know when you can be lynched in a game. Although thirty players does seem like a pretty tall order. Maybe you should alter it in expectance of twenty-five? I'm not entirely sure that you could get the player count up high enough to accommadate for so many.

Nevertheless, consider me in.

[Matthias2207]

It sounds a little complicated, shady, and familiar, but above all:
exciting!
In, Inner, Innest, Innerer.

[Gray Mage]

Clue really does bring back some good memories (although the names seem diffrent >.>).

In.

[Penguinator]

Although thirty players does seem like a pretty tall order.

Pffft. I've done it thrice.

I'm in, but we really ought to find a narrator first.

[ThePhantom]

I'm in, this should be fun.

[Lady Serpentine]

Narrator List: Internet Flea

I find it amusing that after I said that, while I'd been joking before, I would be willing to help narrate this, my name was removed from the list of narrators.

But in that case, I suppose I'll be a player.

[Szilard]

Innnnnnnnn.

[Internet Flea]

You can narrate if you want, but you sounded reluctant. I'm not trying to rope you in to it.

[Internet Flea]

(although the names seem different >.>).

In.

Yeah, basically the backstory is the Boddys couldn't figure out the first murder so they just lynched everybody, and now all the family members are seeking revenge.

[Lady Serpentine]

You can narrate if you want, but you sounded reluctant. I'm not trying to rope you in to it.

I just hadn't realized that you would take me seriously. I'm fine with narrating. (Especially if you'll give me some help in Fae II... That one's going to be a nightmare to coordinate without a co-narrator.)

In that case, welcome back to the Narrator box.

[Internet Flea]

In that case, welcome back to the Narrator box.

...Once you have room in your inbox for the QT.

[Lady Serpentine]

Space has been made.

[cd4]

I think I will join this game.

Though maybe you could add in the accusations, my suggestion would be that it needs to be in the format (alive player) attacked (player) with (weapon) in (room). If they get it right their vote counts as 2 if they get it wrong their vote counts as 0. The thing is they only have 2 accusations per game so that is the limiting factor.

Also if you search for secret passages in a room with more than one do you find all of them or just one? If you only find one and search again do you find a different one?

What is revealed on death?

I'm debating making accusations a ghost mechanic; they probably won't be in the game for living players.

If there is more than one secret passage, you will only find one. If you search again the next night, you can find another one. Same with items; you'll only find one.

Death narrations read "[Player Name] was killed in the [Room] by a blunt instrument/sharp instrument/the revolver (whichever one applies). He was [Role]."

[Count Dingdong]

Sounds interesting! In.

[Zjoot]

In like a garbage bin.

[bladescape]

In, with Da Goof's Golden Fiddle.

[BourgeoisJerry]

In. The only question is whether I should role play as Earl Gray or Bernadette Sienna. Eh, I'll decide if I want to be a boy or girl later.

[Vesth]

In, while I slowly try to decipher the rules...

[Internet Flea]

Well, this looks like it, so I guess the game will start on Monday.

Experts will probably be combined into fewer roles, and I'll probably close off some rooms so they don't all end up with one or two people every night.

[Penguinator]

Where's Rune? He likes complexity.
