WW CV: They Should Make a Movie About This! (Admin Thread)
 
In a remote area of the world, high in the inaccessible peaks of the Andes Mountains, was the location of a man with a plan. The high glen, though barely 2 acres in area, was the site of a forbidding, fortress-like structure. Boxlike, grey, and windowless, the most remarkable feature was its roof, a dome rather resembling the top of a planetarium. Sheer cliffs fell away from the glen on all sides. Inside this incongruous construction, one occupant worked devotedly for a cause. As he checked and re-checked equipment, Professor Inzil reflected on the monumental task he had undertaken. He was, if successful, going to change the world. and this time there would be no stopping him. He still got a chuckle, though, thinking on his implausible from certain death on a previous project. "Can't keep a good scientist down," he said aloud, smiling grimly. All was almost ready. His crew should be arriving shortly, and then the long-considered plan would come to fruition....

Hello, one and all. This game will be traditional.

Roles:

Dreamer (Seer)- Each Night may choose a target and be told that person's Role.

Guardian (Ranger)- Each Night may choose one person to protect. May not self-protect, and may not choose the same target two consecutive Nights.

Maniac - If targeted for a Night-kill, takes a random baddie with them. If lynched, randomly takes one of their voters along with them.

Crew (Ordos)- Standard cannon-fodder who choose candidates during the Day for elimination.

Moviephiles (Wolves)- Collaborate at Night and choose a target to eliminate. Numbers determined by total number of players.

Rules:

Every player is required to vote at least every other Day. Failure to vote for two consecutive Days results in modfire without a valid excuse.

In the event of a tie vote, the last player receiving the total is eliminated.

Innocent side wins when all Moviephiles are eliminated. The latter win if their number ties the number of remaining Innocents.

As usual, all active players should remain Invisible at all times. Discussion of the game by eliminated players in the Admin Thread while the game is ongoing is frowned upon.

Any input on Roles and Rules is always encouraged.

Nerwen 05-13-2014 07:38 PM

Sign me up!:smokin:

satansaloser2005 05-13-2014 10:47 PM

Yes please! I can only really Werewolf over the evenings, but I so wish to play. Sign me up! :)

Coppermirror 05-14-2014 02:55 AM

Sign me up. :smokin: I can't guarantee that I'll have a lot of time to spend on WW, but there's nothing at all foreseeable which could make me drop.

Inziladun 05-14-2014 06:54 AM

Excellent! The target is 12 players, to allow for three baddies.

I altered the Maniac a bit, taking out the correlation with a Hunter. He really isn't a Hunter, since he takes no active role in who dies. As a matter of fact, I probably will keep to myself who the Maniac is, so the person himself will be surprised. ;)

Loslote 05-14-2014 01:25 PM

Sign me up, please!

Kitanna 05-15-2014 05:27 PM

I'm in!

Inziladun 05-17-2014 07:25 AM

Nearly half way there...

Thinlómien 05-18-2014 01:17 PM

Thanks for the PM, Inzil :)
 
The Finnish section will gladly be the other half! :smokin:

In other words, sign me up please!

I also mentioned this game to Nog, Greenie and Legate and they all seemed interested. I'm seeing them all tomorrow again (and Agan too) as we gather to watch Game of Thrones, so I can remind them all about this.

Legate of Amon Lanc 05-18-2014 01:29 PM

Basically what Lommy said: you can count me in as well, officially. :)

Inziladun 05-18-2014 02:49 PM

Excellent! Welcome aboard! :)

Inziladun 05-20-2014 07:01 AM

Unfortunately, I have no one I can t̶h̶r̶e̶a̶t̶e̶n̶ persuade to join up. Others might not be so constrained....;)

Nogrod 05-20-2014 03:24 PM

For the good old game for a long time!

Reporting in...

I might have some time-constraints the coming week / two weeks, but I'll promise not be the most silent person around. :p

Nice to see "Subhunter" arriving! :D

satansaloser2005 05-21-2014 04:03 PM

First off, I'll see if I can find a few arms to twist.

Second, is there *any* way to shuffle the deadline to be an hour later? The current time is right after I get off work and I'd like to avoid the temptation to check the Downs while on the clock if possible. If not, I'll simply have to exercise my willpower (read, give up and probably check my phone anyway). :p

Sure, I could make it 0200 GMT (2100 EDT). My reason for wanting something in that area is that it's between getting off work and bedtime. ;)

Inziladun 05-24-2014 07:17 AM

Still need four more. As soon as we hit twelve we'll start.

satansaloser2005 05-24-2014 09:05 AM

Werewolf's been silent for so long that I'm sure most people simply don't realize there's a game at the ready. I posted a link to the thread on my book of faces though, so hopefully that will get our last few players to trickle in.

Thanks. Not being a Facebooker myself is probably not helping. :rolleyes:

Shastanis Althreduin 05-24-2014 10:43 AM

Room for one more?

Of course!

Thinlómien 05-27-2014 11:13 AM

Please sign Greenie up with a question mark. She has said to me at least twice she wants to join but has apparently forgotten to do so. I'll remind her next time I talk to her (before the weekend).

That would still mean we need two players though. Maybe we should keep this thread active so that people see it in the active topics when they come visit the 'Downs. :D

PS. I'm linking this thread to the 'Downs facebook page. Maybe it'll help too.

Thanks much! We're getting there!

Kath 05-27-2014 12:44 PM

Hey can I jump in for signing up?

Naturally!

A Little Green 05-27-2014 10:46 PM

Brilliant, I'm in! :smokin:

Inziladun 05-28-2014 07:55 AM

Excellent. I'd like to leave the signups open for maybe another day, then get started.

Galadriel55 05-28-2014 08:40 AM

I'll be there in spirit. :(:)

Boromir88 05-28-2014 03:08 PM

Part of me is probably going to regret this...but the other part is saying it's been way too long since the last WW and since my last visit to the site. So...yes. :D

That's the spirit! :cool:

Inziladun 05-29-2014 06:53 AM

Signups are closed. If someone is not all right with the 0200 GMT DL, speak now.

Inziladun 05-29-2014 07:46 PM

All right. I'll plan to put the Game Thread up tomorrow, starting Night 1 about 24 hours from now. I'll get the roles sent before then.

Inziladun 05-30-2014 07:52 AM

The first part of the Game Thread is up, and I have sent the roles. If you did not receive a PM, you are an Ordo. I did decide to inform the Maniac of their role. I thought it might be more entertaining that way. ;)

Aganzir 05-30-2014 09:44 AM

Is there any way I could still wriggle my way into this game or am I simply and inexcusably too late? *gentle canine eyes*

Inziladun 05-30-2014 11:58 AM

I'm sorry Agan! Since I've already sent the Roles (and announced the fact), yours would be easy to guess! :(
I was looking to start this date, but if a majority (7) voiced approval here to clean the slate and re-determine the Roles quickly, I could include you.

And to the person who PM'd me with a question, clean out your inbox and I'll give you an answer. :p

Inziladun 05-30-2014 05:50 PM

Well, blast. Once again, I hate that it was too late for Agan! My twin is always a most welcome addition! ;)

Night 1 should begin in about 2 hours.

Aganzir 05-31-2014 05:44 PM

Well it was my own fault for not signing up earlier although Lommy reminded me about it three times! I'll play over other people's shoulder then and wreak chaos. ;)

Fun without pressure. I like. :cool:
