Dueling Wizards Werewolf II discussion thread

[Gwathagor]

Parents are square. Parents are for losers. They don't understand the young people.

I'm afraid I don't understand... Do you mean that the GW could communicate with ordos during the Night? I can't see the advantage in that...

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.

I think you're making this unnecessarily complicated. Why not give the wolves two kills from the beginning and then change it to one kill when the village is small enough? And the number of wolves would affect nothing at all. I think it would be simpler and far less confusing. Are there faults in this system? (Except the one you mentioned, that it doesn't sound good narration-wise, but I'm inclined to think you'll be able to solve that. I mean, it doesn't make sense narration-wise that in the regular games the wolves only kill one person per Night in the first place, if you ask me...)

What about retractable votes and double-lynches? I'm against the latter, but could be persuaded to support the first, even though I'm inclined to be against it.

And Nogrod, you forgot to add that Brinn is Greenie's apprentice.

After watching the Phantom of the Opera film last night, I have this strong urge to propose to our very own phantom...

But it is equally tempting to take Cailin as my adoptive mother (though it would be rather odd to have the absentee Eomer as my dad! ). Could both of these work somehow?

[Nogrod]

Why not Lhuna?

Let's make you the daughter of Cailín and Eomer - and by their leave I could kill Eomer with myself on the first Night!

And if tp is willing you could be a couple at the same time. I see no problem there.

Now let me see who I could be in all this? Maybe I could be Greenie's husband the weird old gaffer?

Although now it seems that Greenie's offspring and their families make more than half of the village this far. So I'd suggest the others (Nerwen/Lalaith/Aganzir/Volo - Kitanna/Brinn - Gwath/McCaber) to somehow connect to each other. I could be the father of some of you and if the next players to come in would cling into that family (being my bro or wife fex.) we could build another big family tying the rest together.

About the ages then...

Now there clearly is one gammer: Greenie

The adults (those who are parents or their siblings) are: Cailín, Nilp, Lommy, Mac, Rikae + Nerwen & Lalaith

The young people seem to be: Sally, Kath, the phantom, Diamond, Aganzir, Brinn, Kitanna (Brinn and Kit because Brinn and Kath are "life partners" and Kath is Nilp's and Lommy's daughter) and if Cailín will take Lhuna as her daughter she will be a young one as well.

How about you Gwath & McCaber? We seem to have quite a number of enchanting young ladies out there walking free... So why don't you at least show a romantic interest?

[Aganzir]

Hey I want to be young too!

Actually it's rather all the same, and if there aren't enough little kiddies I can be one as well. I just thought it would be amusing to be the loose teenage daughter of the family black sheep.

What about you Nog being Lalaith and Nerwen's father?

edit: was my name in the list all along and I just missed it? Oh well, never mind.

I thought there might be something unethical there, but I was wrong apparently. Let's hope the phantom agrees. *crosses fingers*

No, don't kill my daddy! Just send him somewhere far away, but please please pretty please keep him alive! Or my mum will be sooo devastated.

Let's send him to get help then...

Well I used to be married to Legate in Nog's last WW, and since he liked it so much I didn't have the heart not to remind him of it.

I will be a 15-year-old lass who doesn't help her family members with housework but hangs around the village all day long doing nothing (except picking flowers and looking pretty).
edit: assuming, of course, that it's ok for Lalaith to have a 15-year-old daughter. I could be a few years younger as well.

Volo, do you want to be a crippled cat with a broken tail?

No it wasn't but I saw my mistake just after posting it and added you there.

And with young I mean here teenagers or something - well old enough to have boy/girlfriends. Though anyone so wishing can be younger as well - like Lommy was in the last one ("little girl who steals other children's candy").

Also I'd like to see some professions as those add to your character's and give inspiration to the narrations. I'm not going to be picky about them but I'll just remind you that this village and the story go far back in time into the first human villages there ever were in the ME. So the technology will be rude even if I think they should know agriculture - and all that comes with it; baking, brewing, handcrafts, smiths, tailors - as they live in a village surrounded by a palisade wall. But it would be nice to have fishermen or hunters as well...

All this doesn't mean you have to be dead serious though...

Hurray, I have a twin!

Now all we need is a big brother we can pester. Legate, would you like to be our err...victim?

If Gwath and McCaber want to be older, one of them could be our father. Just an idea...

About ages...I would think Kitanna, Kath, and me (and Legate?) to be slightly older than teenagers...more like college age. Mainly because I couldn't imagine gaining a life partner while still in high school. Ah, but still...young love...

Of course I would. Hang on a sec while I fend my brother off with this stick.

(muffled sounds of whacking)

He has no objection. Let's go out.

I will be dissolute and unemployed. Like in real life.

I have an imaginary friend named Bert.

And I like to eat candles.
