Taur-in-Gaurhoth Scenarios you'd Like to See

[Oddwen]

Oh! Don't go making threats Oddwen I remember why I got confused now. You had made a suggestion just before Gurthang, and I combined the two.

No offence meant, mah dear.

Can the Sphinx ask wolves riddles too? So if a wolf was asked and couldn't answer the village would be one werewolf (or whatever you plan to call them) down?

I'd think so - the Sphinx is another WereBear-type role, it's not on the Wolves' team and it wins if it survives to the end. The Hunter can kill it, the Ranger can't protect from it.

I don't know if riddles are the best way to go though - it depends on the riddle-knowledge of the asker, and on if the askee would Google the answer. Though anyone who would cheat at the most ancient game of Riddles is a sneak and is probably under some sort of evil influence.

I had an idea for a new bad guy role:

The Basilisk

The name basilisk comes from the Greek basileus, which means king. The basilisk was the King of the snakes and the most poisonous creature on earth. His appearance has always been a matter of dispute since there is no way to see a basilisk and survive. Looking at it, according to legend, brings death.

When the Seer dreams of the Basilisk, the Seer automatically dies. The Basilisk I think would work best as a member of the wolf team, rather than as an independent, because s/he can't really kill any other player at night. It could be implemented as a wild card in a more traditional game setup. What do you think?

--

I also have been thinking more about my Lovers game, and I was thinking of doing it this way:

Allow each team one kill per night. The number of kills therefore dwindles as teams are killed.

For Gifteds, use two independent Rangers. (That is, they don't know who each other are and cannot PM). One Ranger should have the dual ability of dreaming as a Seer, but the other will be merely a Ranger. I don't have ideas for names, but I'd like to call the Seer/Ranger something a little more imaginative.

Basically, I want the two Rangers to balance out the high death rate at the beginning, and I like the Seer/Ranger idea, but I want one traditional Ranger who can possibly protect one of the Weres or Lovers inadvertently.

SeeRanger?
Half-Elven?
Istari?
Wizard?

*LMP shrugs*

[Gurthang]

So the Basilisk would be sort of a cobbler, only reversed as far as the Seer is concerned. I mean instead of coming up as an innocent, he comes up as YOU ARE DEAD.

I'm not sure about all these new bad guy types. From the stats, the good guys have enough trouble as it is... and all we can think of are new ways to kill them.


Hmm... maybe I'll be able to think of something new for the good team.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Wizard Werewolf scenario that I dream of with a certain amount of wistfulness:

Kuru and Boromir submodding LMP's game again with Fea and the phantom as good and evil wizard, respectively. I can't help but think that that situation would either be very short-lived or extremely fun.

[the phantom]

Kuru and Boromir submodding LMP's game again with Fea and the phantom as good and evil wizard, respectively. I can't help but think that that situation would either be very short-lived or extremely fun.

Heh heh. The outcome would depend on when you decided to scry me. Early- you win. Late- I win. Cause you know I wouldn't be suspected enough during the day to attract a lynch mob, no matter what happened. Finding me as the EW would be completely on the GW's shoulders.

You, I wouldn't have to find. You'd reveal sooner or later, and then I'd have all kinds of fun getting inside your head and figuring out who you made into a gifted.

Fea, if you're ever the GW in one of these games, and right after you reveal yourself your gifteds suddenly drop dead, you'd better scry me m'dear, cause it's probably my doing.

[Boromir88]

I've thought about having something sort of like a Healer. And the Healer could resurrect dead players.

Of course to have the healer do this on a daily basis would be extremely long and prolonged, so perhaps the amount of "energy" and power needed it takes the healer an extreme amount and can only resurrect a deceased player every 3 days? Any dead player, whether be lynched wolf or innocent, or killed by wolves...etc. Any dead player of their choosing to resurrect and that player will enter back into the game as an ordinary.

This was slightly inspired by my recent dream where after I was lynched I came back posting that I was a ghost. Just kind of something I recently thought of and might sound a bit whacky.

[Diamond18]

SeeRanger?

Heh, this makes me think "Sea Ranger."

Half-Elven?

I'll probably be going with the mixed-races village again, since I like the goofiness, so that kind of makes the elveness less special.

Istari?
Wizard?

Well I can't use Istari or Wizard because you have forever defined werewolvian Wizardry on this board.

The Skittles in me wants to name it Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger but technially I think it would have to be a Ranger/Hunter combo for that to really make sense.

So the Basilisk would be sort of a cobbler, only reversed as far as the Seer is concerned. I mean instead of coming up as an innocent, he comes up as YOU ARE DEAD.

Yeah, that's a good way to describe it. Mainly, while at work the random thought popped into my head, "Basilisks are cool, I should figure out a werewolf role that fits that name."

I'm not sure about all these new bad guy types. From the stats, the good guys have enough trouble as it is... and all we can think of are new ways to kill them.

Yes, disturbing, isn't it? Though don't I get points for my Suped Up Ranger idea? Hmmm... ah ha! Pimped Out Ranger.

Nah.

How about Clairvoyant Ranger or something like that? PalantiRanger? ah phooey

[Thinlómien]

I think I have a name for my super Ranger. It's quite simple, really.... Watcher. This is what the Hobbits called the Rangers, so it's just another term for Ranger, but kind of implies the "sight" of a Seer through "watching."

Or maybe Jedi?

[Anguirel]

I've just thought of a simple yet ingenious role (I think).

The Barrator (that means a politician who gives and takes bribes)

The influential Barrator's vote secretly counts as two votes. This means he must vote with care...

EDIT: This role could also be called The Lawyer...

That could be very interesting... And that'd surely make the villagers paranoid!

[Diamond18]

Sure you're in the right thread, LMP? (Don't want to anger the OT Skerwlz, you know.)

[Durelin]

The Barrow-Wight didn't give us a go for a game where we all would have used unknown identities, but this could be fun. The mod should perhaps supervise the "roles" so that we wouldn't have 10 Lhunas' or Diamonds' in the game at the same time.

Well, I imagine the mod could just have everyone PM their chosen roles to him/her (hopefully me, heh), and then any difficulties could be worked out through PM, everyone's final role only known at the start of the game (though of course each person would know they're role - they chose it).

And yes, permission must be granted.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I'd be highly amused to play either Nilp or the phantom... Most especially Nilp. Though I could have great fun with a legendary LMP rant.

Hey! I remember that. That was my first game, too. And then somebody decided to make up the [rant][/rant] tags. Fun stuff.

Fea would be fun to play, but really hard. I'd personally try being Naria, because it'd be a challenge for me to keep my mouth shut.

[Valier]

I thought of a new gifted last night and I wanted to know what others thought of it and if there is any problems with it. ok I think I may call it the Weaver, but that also is up for review. Ok there would be no Hunter in this game, only a Seer and a Ranger. The Weaver sees connections between people. The weaver will pm two peoples names to the mod, then they will be able to see the connection they have to each other. EX: if they are on the same team ie: wolves, Ordos, or gifted they will be told there is a connection between them, but they will not be told how and if the two people the Weaver picks are odd ie: wolf/Ordo, wolf/gifted Ordo/Gifted or any other combo they will be told there is no connection. Will this tip it too much towards the gifted side or do you think it will be fine? Oh I also call first dibs for this role, but if others like it they can use it after me. What do you guys think?

[Durelin]

That's very interesting... Probably would want that to replace one of the other Gifted roles, possibly the Seer's just to make things more interesting. Having both a Seer and a Weaver might be a bit much... Though I guess a way to fix that is to just throw in another wolf...
