Dueling Wizards Werewolf II discussion thread

[Kath]

Um, Nog, aren't your two possibilities the same? Or are you saying that either a) two kills if there are three wolves, or b) two kills if there are more than three wolves?

Unless you'd like an eccentric old mother-in-law...

I thought I could be Mac and Lommy's mother if you want one. (That would make me also a grandmother for Sally, Kath, the phantom and Diamond and a lovely mother-in-law for nilp and Rikae..)

If anyone wants to be my apprentice (that would be way cool), spouse, sibling or yet another child, that would be nice as well.

Once again: Oh-my-who-is-supposed-to-read-this? (Well it's a thread started by Nogrod, after all )

I don't know yet about playing, it will be running right during my exam terms as it seems. Although... *ahem* Well there's another thing which could decide it better: I am going to be away on the last week in June... will the game continue on that, Nog? What do you think?

So if a wizard is voted out, it means that s/he is revealed because s/he isn't lynched regardless of the amount of votes s/he receives?

What do you reckon?

I think that in the last game the GW's picks were only limited so that he could have only one seer, one ranger and one hunter at a time. I think it's a better way of limiting the gifteds than banning renamings in case the original gifted dies or becomes ungifted.

I'm not Nogrod, but I can say this: last time the game lasted for two weeks, but there were rather many people alive when it ended. But I don't think it should last more than three weeks (?) and one must be lucky to survive to the end...

And speaking of the last game, here's the link if someone is interested to have a look.

And Kath said it is weird I'm her mum... But yes, Greenie dear, that'd be great if you ask me.

And lastly, I didn't understand Nogrod's wolf-kill possibilities either. I think my suggestion would make more sense. I'm sure you'll be able to make it fit the story in some way...

Yes indeed.

The last game took exactly two weeks. So if we start at the last days of May / first days of June you should have no problem Legate.

That's the difference I'm after and what I meant... Sorry if I didn't make myself clear enough on that. So should the wolves have two kills from the beginning (the rule being "if there are three wolves then two kills") or whether there would need to be more than three to give the wolves the second kill?

Yes. "Regifting" will be on in this game for the GW. But the question remains whether there shoould be limits to scrying in the first place...

[Brinniel]

Dearest Kath,
Will you be my life partner?

And would anyone like a twin sister? I've always wanted a twin...

About deadlines: I vote for the latest possible (11pm).

Anyways, I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions...but my brain needs a little while to absorb the rules first...

EDIT: Oh and Greenie, I'll be your apprentice.

Yes, I think you're right. I can't remember now, but I'll go back and check.
All I really remember from last time was being in the car on the way down to France, trying to log on to the site from my phone, trying to save myself on that last day. Unsuccessfully.
"Bowl of petunias". Diamond will know what I mean.

Brinn, if you'll take me I've always wanted a twin too.

If by "no problem" you mean at least two big exams during that time, then yes However a game like this is something that doesn't happen everyday, that much is clear. *sigh* I don't know. I must think of pros and cons, and if it's possible at all...

[Cailín]

Diamond! I am so pleased you're joining.

I have been looking at the old thread again - a good read. I can recommend it to all. It made me quite nostalgic, especially when I realised Nogrod was still a WW newbie back then (but a strong player, no doubt). Ah, times change.

I am still interested in adopting a child. I'm afraid your father would be away overseas to conquer distant lands, but there'd still be cookies.

[Nogrod]

Should I count you in Legate?

About the number of kills of the wolves. What is it you don't see - or what is it I say in such a muddled way that no one understands?

The question is whether three wolves can make two kills or do we need a fourth for them to make two kills. That has a big implication as if no wolf is killed on Day1 the wolves can start with two kills in the beginning of the game (Night2) and if no wolf is gotten the next Day they will have at least two Nights more of two kills per Night - if three wolves are enough for two kills per Night.

If we say three wolves are not enough for there being two nightly kills the wolves / EW actually need to play well to earn the second kill. On the other occasion they will get two kills for granted form the beginning unless they lose one of them on Day1.
