Hello all. This thread was designed by Lucky originally for the purposes of coordinating and maintaining all the werewolf games and variants. It has become a great tool for us. This is where you come to place a claim on running your own Werewolves or Werewolves variant game. It can also be used to develop ideas and gather interest for your own version of the game.

Whatever you're looking for in regards to werewolf games should be found on this page.

Maybe not in this post, but somewhere on this first page. Everything from start dates to active games, rules (and optional rules) to games archives can be found here along with tools designed to make your game run smoother. If there’s something useful you think is missing, mention it. We will ~~immediately~~ eventually ~~spring~~ lurch into action to sort it out.

Also, I'd like to thank all the previous caretakers of Werewolf Central: Lucky, Shadow, Happyturtle, Thufir, Lex-Kat, and Durzan. I stand on the shoulders of giants, and can only hope my own work helps the community flourish.

Spoiler: How Players Should Use This Thread

Show

If you need to check the basic rules, they are in this post.
If you have a query about the general/basic rules, this is the place to ask. Questions about a specific edition/variant should be directed to the narrator.
If you want to know when a certain game is starting, the schedule is in the second post.
If someone mentions a past game which interests you, someone here may well remember it and be willing to elaborate. Or, you can check the archives.

Spoiler: Basic Game-Play Overview

Show

The game is played in turns that consist of two different phases.
There's a day phase that happens from dawn ‘til dusk in game. This period typically lasts 48 hours. During this time all the players try to decide who the bad guys are by voting for them. Votes are done in red text. You may change your vote if you wish, in which case, you should edit your previous post and ~~strike-through your previous vote~~. Once the day has ended, whoever has the most votes is removed from the game (Lynched). In the event of a tie, common practice is to lynch whichever player reached that number of votes first.

The 25% Rule: Part of the original rules, but not all narrators use it now. By this rule, a lynch only occurs if at least 25% of the players vote for the same person. If no 25% majority is reached, the mob cannot gather sufficient numbers to lynch anyone.
Additionally, if a 50% majority is reached, day may optionally end early at that point, if the narrators want it to.

Auto-lynches: If a player fails to vote for a certain number of day phases (Usually 2), they will be auto-lynched. If you will be unable to get online to post in your games for some period of time, you should notify the narrator(s) in advance, either in-thread or via PM.

The next phase is the night phase, which lasts from dusk ‘til dawn. This phase typically lasts 24 hours. During this phase, anyone that has a special action to perform during that time does so via PM to the narrator(s). This is the phase of the game where the wolves would tell the narrators who they would like to kill.

After time's up, the narrators will post the opening of the following Day Scene and it starts all over again.
This continues until either A) all of the Wolves are destroyed by the Villagers -or- B) the Wolves reduce the total number of non-wolf players to equal their own.

This is just a brief overview of the basic rules. Specific games may have variant rules which will be detailed in the game thread.

Spoiler: Basic Role Descriptions

Show

Once a game has closed recruitment, the narrator will randomly assign roles and PM all players with their role. Traditional roles are as follows:

Spoiler: Team Villager

Show

Villager: You are a villager. Your job is to stay alive, and ferret out the werewolves.

Mason: Your job is to ferret out the werewolves, and to protect your fellow Mason(s). There will always be a minimum of 2 Masons in a group. The masons are told each other’s identities.

Seer: Each night phase, you may PM the Narrator and co-Narrator to look into the heart of one other player. When you select a player, the answer given to you will be villager, fool, or werewolf. Seers see the Devil as a Werewolf.

Fool: Thinks he is a seer. Is told that he is a seer. When a fool gets his foresight in the evening, he gets a random chance as to what he sees when he points somebody out. When he points to the Seer, he will always see the Fool, and vice versa.

Baner: This person is the carrier of the wolfsbane. Each night he may protect someone he believes is a villager, from the werewolves’ night-kill.

Spoiler: Team Werewolf

Show

Werewolf: Each night phase the werewolves choose among themselves who they want to kill, and send this in to the narrator(s).

Devil: Is basically the seer for the werewolves, however gets more precise results (Specific role rather than just villager, fool, or werewolf).

Note that other than villager and werewolf, none of these roles have to appear in any given game, and there are other roles which may be included. The narrator has the right to include whatever roles s/he wants, and alter them as s/he sees fit.

Victory Conditions:

For Team Villagers to win, the villagers must lynch all of the werewolves.

For Team Werewolf to win, they must simply reduce the number of villagers (Including special roles on Team Villager) to equal their current numbers.

Finally, if anyone has any other ideas as far as what to put in this thread, feel free to voice them here or PM them to me.

--Narrating--

Spoiler: How Narrators Should Use This Thread

Show

In addition to the ways players should use Central, narrators can:

Post the rules of games you’re planning, for balance advice, and potentially to garner interest in advance.
Look for a co-narrator.
Book a place for your game in the schedule.
Let us know when your game is recruiting/starting/ending.
Share fun stuff you've created, such as Korith's games spreadsheet.

Spoiler: Interesting & Important Notes by Lucky

Show

A couple other things to note when running a game of Werewolves:

Having a co-narrator is highly recommended. This is to assist with the flow of the game, and just makes it easier on the narrator.

Rules on cheating:

The SMBG stance on cheating applies to all of these games, and cheaters will be punished as dictated by the SMBG rules.

However, after the culprit has been punished and s/he has served his time off from the werewolf games, it will become forgotten history. No one is to speak of it further, and any concern will be PMed to the narrators of that game, not posted in the thread.

Spoiler: Scheduling Your Games

Show

For the time being, I'm asking that all games (Big Name, Small, Classic) please schedule your games ahead of time. Games will be scheduled as one for every two weeks, not one per week as before. This is due to the recent lack of players.

Hopefully this will be a fix. Additionally, at least for the last while we've been making the recruitment threads in the Recruitment subforum rather than here (as was the precedent historically) in order to increase visibility and maybe drive new traffic to the Stuctured Games subforum. If you don't want to do that, and just want one thread for recruiting and playing, you can do that instead, full power to you.

We've all decided amongst ourselves that we should only have one game starting in any given week. Small games (<20 players) do not need to be scheduled in advance. Normally, up to two small games may be started each week, unless the the total number of small games would then exceed the number of large games recruiting or running at the time. If you’re uncertain, just ask here in Central. Additionally, while small games do not need to be scheduled in advance, they can be, if you wish to stake your claim in advance to be sure no-one beats you to it by posting their game first. However this shouldn’t come up too often. Big name games which have no difficulty attracting players (Such as Classic) can ignore the schedule and start the same week as another large game. In such a week, no small games may be started.

Above all, be considerate. Everyone wants players for their game, and no-one likes for their game to end up short of players because they’re all playing in other games.

Please PM me or post here if you're planning on starting a game, so that we can coordinate everything properly. This will ensure that every game gets the attention that it deserves and will make every game more enjoyable. Thanks in advance.

Just as the Three Post Rule is usually enforced by ourselves rather than getting Mods involved, so too should rules that we've created for ourselves be so enforced. Please politely direct anyone starting a game out of turn to this thread. As this is not a forum rule, this can only be enforced by us. A little common courtesy goes a long way.

A note on posting Recruitment/Game Threads:
Threads created in the Structured Games subforum have to wait to be approved by a mod (Haruki-Kun, flat_footed, and/or truemane). If you need a second post to open your game, simply put that in the Title of your thread so that your players will not post as soon as it goes up, like I did for this thread. Then change the title when you're ready to play.

Suggested Thread Submission for Mod Approval:

Step-by-Step:

At the top of the Structured Game Forums, above the threads, but below the forum pages, you'll find a dropbox for "Forum Tools". Click.
At the very top of the drop box, click the "Post a New Thread..." link.
For the prefix, choose "WW/Mafia".
Title is the name of your game.
Just like when posting or PMing, you need subject matter. Write as little or as much as you want. Just remember, you are trying to entice people to play your game, so be a little descriptive, if you can. Use other games OPs to help you, if needed.
Click "Submit New Thread" at the bottom. And now it'll go on for Mod approval. But you're not done.
PM Haruki-Kun, flat_footed, and/or truemane, letting them know that you have submitted a game for approval. It usually only takes a day or two. But Mods have lives too, so it may take a little longer. (That's why I suggest PMing at least two Mods.)
Post in Werewolf Central, once your thread appears in Structured Games, preferably with a link to the game.

Originally Posted by Chambers

Also some more general advice in regards to whether one should wait a few days or PM a Mod right after creating the thread. My recommendation would be to not wait; please feel free to drop me a line about your game thread. I'll try and get to it as soon as I can, though sometimes that will mean waiting until I get home from work. Happy gaming!

(Chambers is a retired mod at this point, so don't go bugging him about games, but his advice is still sound for contacting other mods so it's been left in. Mods have a lot to keep track of, and PMs are a good way of bringing something to their attention, even just as a thing on their "list of things to do later" Better to get that PM sent as soon as the thread is posted and waiting, rather than three days later when you finally realize they must have not noticed it going up.)

Recruitment and Game Schedules
Large games:
Note that the date listed is for the week Game Thread should go up, not the recruitment thread. Begin recruitment at your leisure.

Small games:
For small games the date listed will be the week the thread goes up, though the game may not start that week, depending on recruitment. This is to help keep track of the 'Two small games per week' restriction. At least for the time being, games you expect to be small (which...should be most of them, honestly) should get scheduled for when they'll start. Get the thread made a week or two before your start date so you've got some time to recruit.

Spoiler: Co-Narrators

Show

If you want a co-narrator, ask here in Central. It will probably help to say what your game will be like, though some people will narrate anything.

Spoiler: Claims on specific Editions/Variants

Show

In general, a WW variant someone runs is considered specifically theirs. If you want to run another one of it, you must ask them nicely to let you co-narrate. However, there is nothing to stop you doing something similar, which you can devise for yourself. If you’re uncertain, ask here in Central. The exceptions to this variant ownership are WW Classic and Simply Werewolf, which get passed around. If you want to run one of these games, just ask and we’ll dig out the rules for you.

--Extra Stuff--

Spoiler: Optional Rules

Show

Recruitment

Spoiler

Show

In some games, rather than, or in addition to, killing the villagers, the wolves may instead recruit them. The targeted villager becomes a werewolf instead. Power roles are typically immune to recruitment, and recruitment may be refusable, at the choice of the narrator

Scrying

Spoiler

Show

It can of course be played that the Seer and Fool get specific roles in response to their scries, rather than just team allegiance or Fool.

Optional Predetermined "Fool's Scry" Roles

Spoiler

Show

You may wish to randomly generate a second role distribution to be used for Fool scries, rather than randomly generating the result of each scry. This will ensure the Fool’s scries are consistent (Can’t scry the same person as different roles on separate occasions) and save you work.

Of course, if you give the Fool specific role results, you’ll have to decide what result they get if the role the Fool should scry is already dead. Obvious solution is to change said result to a basic Villager or Werewolf.

The Devil

Spoiler

Show

It can be played that the Devil and the Werewolves do not start the game knowing each other (This is the case in WW Classic). This can potentially make things rather interesting, as it’s harder for everyone to know who to trust...

Helgraf's Scry Interference Rule

Spoiler

Under Helgraf’s Scry Interference Rule, any attempt by multiple scryers (Seer, Fool, Devil, etc.) to scry the same target on the same night will result in ‘interference’, i.e. no result.

Fleeing Coward's Rule of Narrator Invocation

Spoiler

Show

Using this rule, if you claim that the Narrator made a mistake, and the Narrator is asked about it, the Narrator will answer honestly. So don't use the Narrator's name in vain.

Spoiler: Additional Roles

Show

Here are some more roles which you may see/use in a game of WW. Given that possible WW roles are only limited by your imagination, this is by no means a complete list, as much as some common roles that show up frequently and have generic names that people will tend to refer to them by (even if they're named something different in the particular game being played). Becoming familiar with these common roles helps prevent some confusion. If anybody has suggestions for additional common roles they think should be mentioned here, let me know.

Spoiler: Team Villager

Show

Day-baner: Each night, this player may choose someone to protect. The following day, that person cannot be lynched.

Lovers: These two townies start out in private contact with each other and are narrator-confirmed trustworthy to each other (typically referred to as "networked"). However, if either one would die for any reason, the other dies as well.

Spoiler: Not Team Specific

Show

Disguiser: Each night, this player may choose a target and a role. If someone scries that target, they will see the chosen role rather than the target’s actual role (What this does to Fool scries is up to the narrator).

Voider: Each night, this player may choose a target. That target will be unable to use their own night action (If they have one)

Transmuter: Each night, this player chooses a target. The narrators randomly select one of the abilities usable in the game and use it on the target.

Spoiler: Team Werewolf

Show

Alpha: Alpha Wolf is generally used to indicate one of three things: one, the Alpha wolf scries as if they were a villager; two, the narrator assigns the Alpha role, and the Alpha chooses which players will be their fellow wolves; three, both of those things.

Beast: When this player is lynched, one of the people who voted for him will also die. This may be chosen by the player, randomly selected, or the last person to vote for the beast.

PM Box filling up too fast?
Check out the Offline PM Viewer!

Korith's Excel Spreadsheet. - A great tool to assign all the basic roles. Also includes an option to add up to 10 custom roles, making it also useful for almost any other werewolf variant. Instructions are included inside. The only concern that we've found with Korith's wonderful tool is that in some circumstances you may need to use it twice with slightly different configurations each time in order to get a fully randomized role distribution. This will come into play when you're running an Alpha Game or when you have possible secondary roles that could be in addition to the player's primary role (such as lovers, feuders, etc.).

Also for inspiration and other possible purposes, the Mafia Wikipedia Article, as well as the Mafiascum Wiki.

We've had some concerns about shrinking player-base, so to help potentially attract new players, below are some banners, drawn by Elder Tsofu (which I've put on imgur because Photobucket shot itself in the foot). Tsofu also made some for specific players, which are in amongst the Player Inspired Posters in the next post.

The Lolrus and Anonymous
took all the memes aside.
"O Memes, do come and walk with us
And I will be your guide
I haz a shiny bukkit
In which some of you can ride."

The little memes all hurried up,
Quite eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.

The Lolrus and Anonymous
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
Where all the little memes were standing
Waiting in a row.

"The time has come," the Lolrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of pirates--ninjas--bukkit thiefs--
Of internets--and memes--
And why did raiser b1ade confess--
And why Rick Astley sings."

"But wait a bit," the memes all cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said Anonymous.
They thanked him much for that.

"A loaf of bread," the Lolrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--
Now if you're ready, dearest memes,
We can begin to feed."

"But not on us!" the memes all cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Lolrus said.
"Do you admire the view?

"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!"
Anonymous said nothing but
"Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf--
I've had to ask you twice!"

"It seems a shame," the Lolrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
Anonymous said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Lolrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

"My dear memes," said Anonymous,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

If I played werewolf long enough in Kyou
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
I'm not saying that you lied

Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to lynch
Somebody else
Someone like you is easy to lynch
You should point at yourself

If I gave you time to change my vote
I'd have to actually read the stuff you wrote
I know I just picked

[music= Hungy Like the Wolf by Duran Duran]
(Ha ha)
Dark in the village, night full of desire
Steam in the kitchen, go put out the fire
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
Wolfy you want me, I hope I’m baned
And catch my edits while we’re going insane
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
In touch underground
I'm on the hunt I'm coming after you
Who made that sound, I'm lost in a crowd
And I know Murska is a wolf
Straddle the line, parody and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mind is alive with juices like wine
And I know Murska is a wolf

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
Better start running, you know that I’m right
Leading the mob by pitchfork and torchlight,
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
In touch under ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Don’t come around, it’s you that I found
And I know Murska is a wolf
Strut on a line, parody and rhyme
I bring the village after you
Mind is alive all running inside
And I know Murska is a wolf

Burning the ground I break from the crowd

[music = American Pie by Don McLean]
A long long time ago
I can still remember
How that wolf games used to make me smile
And I knew when I joined in like Fin
That I could help the villagers win
And maybe they'd not lynch me for a while
But Day three made me shiver
With every point that I'd deliver
Bad news in the game thread
I found out that I was dead
I can't remember if I lied
When asked about my team's side
But something touched me deep inside
The day the Goof has died
So...

Bye, bye to a villager guy,
Made a posting, now a ghosting from up in the sky
Them good ole wolves were laughing deeply inside
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Did you write the rules of this game
And do you point at people for their fame,
If the wagon tells you so?
Now do you believe in reading it all?
Can the Goof's words save your mortal soul?
And can you explain why your point at Cristo?
Well, I know that Mordy's in love with him
'cause I saw them prancing with the nymph
They both kicked off your shoes
Said Goof, parody the rhythm and blues
I was a old school rhyming rappin' buck
With a game being played with Llama's and Duck's
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singing

Bye, bye to a villager guy,
Made a posting, now a ghosting from up in the sky
Them good ole wolves were laughing deeply inside
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Now, for two years we've played on our own
And the forum has slowed down to the bone
But that's not how it used to be
When the Goof sang parodies of Atreyu and Faerwain
In a coat he borrowed from Indurain

And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while Llama was looking down
The Goof guarded his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And though Murska got pointed at by Jontom Xire
They both knew what was their desire
And winning was all that they aspired
The day the music died
We were singing

Bye, bye to a villager guy,
Made a posting, now a ghosting from up in the sky
Them good ole wolves were laughing deeply inside
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Holy moly with a roly poly,
They slipped one past the narrating goalie,
Speaking of how the game was going fast
Perhaps they were smoking grass
The wolves tried for a forward pass
With the Goof was on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet as most
While Dirk Kris updated the daily post
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the wolves tried to take the field
The villagers refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singing

Bye, bye to a villager guy,
Made a posting, now a ghosting from up in the sky
Them good ole wolves were laughing deeply inside
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Oh, and there we were all in one place
A gaming group who was lost in space
With no time left to start again
So watch out Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Ripper killed them hookers slick
Scrying is the devil's only friend
And I watched him dance about the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No I shouldn't be so cruel
I won't break the games rules
And as the wolves silently killed on in the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Jack laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing

Bye, bye to a villager guy,
Made a posting, now a ghosting from up in the sky
Them good ole wolves were laughing deeply inside
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

I sat by, and I sang the blues
And I watched for updates with the news
But soon I smiled and turned away
I went werewolf central,
Where I'd made music years before
But Shadow there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The losers cried, and the wolves dreamed
But not a word was posted
The good guys all were ghosted
And the three people I admire most
Alarra, Indy, and Zeb the Troll,
They caught the last game with a role
The day the music died
And they were singing

Bye, bye to a villager guy,
Made a posting, now a ghosting from up in the sky
Them good ole wolves were laughing deeply inside
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Sooo bye, bye to a villager guy,
Made a posting, now a ghosting from up in the sky
Them good ole wolves were laughing deeply inside
Singing this'll be
the day
that
I

Well, you can tell by the way I still walk,
I'm a baner's man, now let's all talk.
Music loud and blood's still warm.
I've been killing wolves since I was born.
And now I'm all right, I'm O.K.
But I won't look the other way.
We can try to understand
The voting records effect on man.
Whether you're the Devil
Or whether you're the Alpha,
I'm stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the wolves breakin'
And ev'rybody shakin'
And I'm stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha,

Stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha,

Who does he think he is? That narrator has tangled with the wrong man. No one forgets to PM Murska!

Heh heh. Darn right.

Forgotten? Rejected? Publically Humiliated! Why it's more then I can bear.

More beer?

What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.

What you? Never! Murska, you got to try to get back into the games one way or another.

Gosh it disturbs me to see you Murska,
Arguing about all your tactics.
Every guy here'd love to be you Murska,
Because we all think your fantastic.
There's no man in the game as feared as you.
You're everyone's favorite player.
Everyone's in awe and terrified by you,
And I'm not just another nay sayar...

Noooo...

Ooonnne's...

Slick as Murska
No one's quick as Murska
No one's eye as incredibly green as Murska,
For there's no man in town worth all the babble,
Perfect a pure paragon
You may be compared to likeness of Shadow,
But I'll tell you whose team we'd prefer to be on

No one's been like Murska
A king pin like Murska
No one's got us all to give in like Murska
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating
My- what an eye, that Murska

Give five "hurrahs!"
Give twelve "hip-hips!"
Murska is the best
And the rest is all drips

No one fights like Murska
Says he right like Murska
In a heated debate nobody writes like Murska
For there's no one as seeing and knowing
As you see I've got receptors to spare
Not a bit of him's blinding or slowing
(That's right!)
And ev'ry last inch of me's free of all hair

No one hits like Murska
Matches wits like Murska
In a spitting match nobody spits like Murska
I'm espcially good at expectorating
(Ptooey!)
Ten points for Murska!

When I was a pixie I played four dozen games
Ev'ry morning to help me get fame
And now that I'm grown I play five dozen games
So I'm roughly distrusted by NAAAME!

No one shoots like Murska
Makes disputess like Murska
Then goes tromping around with refutes like Murska
I use trophies in all of my decorating
Say it again
Who's an Eye among men?
And then say it once more
Who's the hero next door?
Who's a super success?
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
Ask his fans and his five hangers-on
There's just one eye in town who's got all of it down
And his name's M-U-R- S -
M-U-R-S - K -
M-U-R-S-K - ah!

MURSKA!!!

At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live with wolves on all my sides
But then I spent so many nights thinking how I voted wrong
And I grew strong and I learned how to play along
And so we're back
In cyberspace
I just logged in to find you here with that wolfy grin upon your face
I should have changed that stupid vote
I should have made you the lynchee
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to 'wagon me
Com'on let's go
Use your red text
It's turned around now
Cause you're the one who's dying next

Weren't you the one who tried to kill me with a false scry
You think I'd crumble
You think I'd lay down and die

Oh no not I

Oh as long as I know how to type I know I'll stay alive

Wolves are gonna night-kill and the baner was lynched,
But I’m stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Seer and Fool are scrying but the Alpha’s immune,
And I’m stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

Well now, I put my vote up in red text,
But after the lynch is done, night phase is next.
Got the day-bane of heaven on my shoes,
I'm a votin' man and I just can't lose.
I know it's all right. It's OK.
I'll live to see another day.

Murska Constant: Murska is always a wolf. ALWAYS.

The Rule of Shadow: If Shadow has not been night-killed by day three, he is a wolf. Lynch him.

What Hyozo has learned playing Werewolf:

-Murska is always a wolf.
-Murska is frequently not a wolf.
-All wolves point randomly.
-All wolves are bandwagoners.
-Only wolves like to keep a low profile by frequently missing days
-Only villagers get autolynched.
-Shadow usually isn't a wolf, I still shouldn't ever trust him.
-Using petty revenge to determine early votes is meaningless and likely to get me lynched.
-Using petty revenge to determine early votes is better than nothing and therefore a good idea.
-People who claim to be a villager never really are villagers.
-Sometimes people who claim to be a villager really are villagers.
-Wolves don't point at each other on days where it makes a difference.
-Wolves like to point at each other to make it look like they're not on the same side. Since changing points would make them look extremely suspicious, this means that wolves frequently start bandwagons against each other.
-When a wolf is likely to be lynched, other wolves join the bandwagon to throw suspicion off themselves.
-Wolves covet easily defended positions, the easiest of these for them to gain is "I was the vote that pushed that wolf bandwagon into the lead, clearly no wolf would do that."
-Whenever I have a theory which I believe to be worth telling people, it is probably wrong.
-Whenever I have a theory which I do not believe to be worth telling people, it is probably right, and I will probably die before I change my mind.

Link changed out. Honestly didn't even realize it was intentional, guess that makes me the April Fool.

Oh, and archives are as up-to-date with WW/Mafia games as I could manage. I kept checking until a full page of forum threads were all already in the archives. If there's something that isn't in there, it's cuz it wasn't added way before my time.

...on an unrelated note, if you wanna know how dead this subforum has been: the 10th most recently completed game is Star Wars Rebels Mafia, which was the most recent game as of the last time Lex-Kat updated her own Central thread (April 23rd 2018). So uh...that's ten complete WW/Mafia games in the last 22 months, with 6 of those being in the last 4 months. There's been a few non-WW/Mafia games in that time frame, but still.

I mean, that seems like things are picking back up at least a little.

The Duck Season joke was when I wanted to run a game but didn't have an idea solidified yet, so Lex put in Duck Season II: Firing Back as a joke placeholder, but I decided to run with it. The entire sign up phase was filled with jokes about how much fun Duck Season I was, so it had to go in the multi-game archive.

Who knows, if I find the time someday, I might run Duck Season I: Firing. Alternatively, a prequel, Duck Season 0.

Stick me on the end of the game list. I need to try out some of my crazy ideas, because I think up way too many.

Right now I have one that’s fairly normal but with more paranoid townies, one that’s RP-heavy and probably too much work, one that is completely crazy and unbalanced and one that will result in my death within the first three phases.

Hopefully by the time my turn comes around I’ll have decided which one to do and worked out how to make it work!

On talking in games: does anyone get the feeling that Mafia sometimes runs a bit like a game of Paranoia, where the smallest word or action that could be taken as wolfish is used as to kill a fellow player?

Hmm... now a Paranoia-based Mafia game would be strangely meta and recursive in some ways...

Of course who knows what the real reason for the missing thread is...

**BasketOfPuppies** · 2020-02-28, 06:51 PM (ISO 8601)

I wouldn’t overthink it.

**Xihirli** · 2020-02-28, 11:10 PM (ISO 8601)

I would! And I did.

**Elenna** · 2020-03-01, 11:09 PM (ISO 8601)

So the forum breakdown caused my game to be scheduled right when I'm prepping for a mid-March exam... anyone want to switch spots with me?

(also I've forgotten all my plans tbh

)

**Valmark** · 2020-03-02, 02:29 AM (ISO 8601)

Uhm, I think I want to be put in the waiting list too. Got an idea floating around my head... Hopefully by the time it's my turn I'll have played enough games to have a better idea (there's at least 4 games before me right? If Durzan reappears 5)
So like- I'll be waiting in one of the farthest corners of the waiting room. Possibly the darkest one.

Sure. I can swap.

**AvatarVecna** · 2020-03-02, 08:28 AM (ISO 8601)

I'm going to PM Durzan about it. If they haven't replied within a week, I'll move them down the schedule.

Posting about this here because it's a difference in the forum I wasn't aware of, and this sub-forum tends to have lots of people who multi-quote lots of other people at one time: it used to be that once you were multi-quoting ten posts, the forum would automatically send you to another page to post your response to those ten quotes. Now though, you can click "multi-quote" as many times as you want, but only the ten most recent will count when you finally go to make your post.

I've worked out the basics of the game I'm running: it's the "fairly normal but with more paranoid townies" one because I thought I shouldn't do anything too crazy until I have more experience as a player/narrator.

It's going to be called Evil Villains Werewolf. Now to think up some more ideas to make it work (and figure out how to balance a game)...

See, this right here is a narrator being smart. I ran one fairly generic game, decided it was too boring, and proceeded to only ever run all power role games from there on out. A good time, but not a single one was balanced.

Run an all power role game, but tell the players it's a low-power, mostly vanilla game. Sit back and watch the mess.

Of course, it would probably just make everyone play conservatively since they will think they are important and leave the aggressive play to the vanillagers. So it would probably just end up kinda boring.

Not to mention, it'd be a good way to never be trusted by anyone ever again.

April 1st IS fast approaching.

Lying to players is a time-honored tradition, or so I'm told. I wouldn't know first-hand, of course.

This one will be all power role, although most of the roles will be fairly standard. I think “normal” was relative to the two crazy ones (one of which is unbalanced almost by definition, the other technically perfectly balanced).

The next game is probably good to start recruiting whenever they are ready.

If I haven't heard from Durzan by the time X-Mafia ends, I'll give Caerulea the green light.
