Apart may be all to true... I am awaiting confirmation from the powers that be and then ...we will be ready to roll ...... It will be a little different ....

Well WW4 has ended witha victory for the villagers. I have not received confirmation for the go ahead yet. However I will be ready .....

Are you planning on allowing any sort of discussion on possible rule changes at all?

[Cailín]

I read along with the entire last game and you play this game intense! Way better than some of the other forums I visit every once in a while.

Where do I sign up?

I was wondering how everybody felt about the wolves inability to communicate during the DAY time hours? Obviously it helped the villagers but does anybody feel that it limited their ability too much?

[the guy who be short]

I presumed that was how it was played last game too. Certainly it makes much more sense (it's more realistic, if you can call a game involving werewolves realistic).

I would think, that since the werewolves know who each other are, that they could look for clues in the posts themselves. Since other people wouldn't necessarily pick up on a lot of hints being given off (*cough*), that they would be fairly safe to do so, and it would allow for 24 hour communication. At least... that's what I'd be doing.

[Kuruharan]

One issue I feel needs to be addressed is the number of times somebody can announce that they are going to be absent from the game. I think there should be a cap on the number of times this can be done. I think one time is reasonable. If you are going to be gone more than that you should run the risk of falling foul of the automatic lynching rule.

If somebody is not going to be available a bunch, then they should not enroll in the first place (as I believe has been said a number of times before). It destabilizes the game.

As a matter of fact, Esgal's and Hookbill's PMing behavior on the first NIGHT boded ill for our tenure as werewolves. We hamstrung ourselves in having almost no communication. I waited eleven hours for the first response to my initial pm. Frustrating.

I really have no problem with not being able to PM during the day, as that makes the game challenging. But if someone cannot be involved on a daily basis, and knows it, and is selected to be a wolf, that person should remove voluntarily from that game.

I know. But I assumed that would be the only DAY that I would miss, and so figured that why miss out on a game when, with the exception of one day, I'll be there the whole time. If I had realized I would be so hit-or-miss for those three days of playing, I'd have definately thought twice about joining up for this round.

I don't have a problem with Werewolves and Shirrifs PMing DAY and NIGHT whenever they want.

As for participation, I do agree that you should be prepared to be on the internet a fair bit. Maybe I'm just being hard-to-please because internet access is so easy for me but dammit! I like a bit of discussion! And this will be essential in a game with only 12 players.

Is it at all likely that we might have 24 interested players this time, thus allowing us to play two parallel games?
