The Valley Forge - WW LXXXVII - Admin Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

yeah, some of these questions I thought of this morning, a wee bit late.

Quote:

A question - how will you be taking the nightkills of the Forge? It doesn't seem like having one person send in the kills will work in this setup, if you mean for the Forge to be able to kill off their own members during the night.

Again, I am unsure what the general set up for this is. I had in mind that the Forges would converse by PM and then one of them would send me their decision. I am counting on the integrity of the player playing the King's Dwarf not to send in the wrong name should he ever be the one to send me the name. To ensure that nothing like that happens, the one who sends me the name can also send it to all the other Forges at the same time.

Quote:

Another question - what is the King's Dwarf's win condition? Same as the innocents?

Yes, sorry for not clarifying. When all the Forges are dead, the King's Dwarf has succeeded in his mission.

Quote:

Another question - what happens when the Forge is reduced to two members - one Forge member and the King's Dwarf?

I had thought the game could keep going, but it would be pointless as the night round would be obsolete because the King's Dwarf would stand against any more killing. So I guess at that point, the K.D. would be able to announce himself to the village and they'd kill the last member. But I'm kind of imagining that the members of the Forge would have figured out who the K.D. was by the time they're down to two. I think it'll be a pretty close game.

Quote:

Does the sweetheart know they are the sweetheart?

Yes. But she will not know who the K.D. is. I think that hte K.D. also knows who she is at the beginning. I am batting the idea around for the K.D. to choose who the Sweetheart is...what do you think of that?

I'll add stuff that I say here to the first post so newcomers see it.

I once played in a game, Eönwë's, I think, in which I was a "saboteur" wolf. I was nominally on the side of the wolves, plotting with them at Night, but my ultimate goal was to help the village. It fell to me more than once to send in the kill, but I wasn't allowed to so overtly thwart my packmates as to disrupt that. Also, doing so would have been a sure tipoff to the pack as to what I was up to. This sounds like the same sort of thing.

I don't know, it seems like an interesting dynamic to me, that the KD should be able to change the kill if the other wolves trust them enough to send it in. What if it's down to three (the KD and two wolves)? Which wolf do you trust to send in the kill? Do you all three send in a name, and majority rules? I like this idea.

Sure, we could do that. If we were trying to stay true to the story and what was supposedly happening (i.e. each night the members went out together to kill somebody) then it wouldn't happen like that, but it's okay.

I don't see why the KD wo0uld do that if it would hand the forge the game. Not sending the "right kill" is as good a way of saying here I am as I can think of bar shouting.

Mithalwen · 02-12-2011, 05:40 PM

unless they can be sure there won't be another night of course. KD si going to be afiendishly difficult role to pull off... interesting

Nogrod · 02-12-2011, 08:40 PM

Let's see Nogrod, mild and meak, join the game.

And this time really, I'm going to fit the description... so no more playing overnight for me... (I've "learnt it" a couple of times already but maybe it's hammered in this time?

)

The concept! Whoa!

I need to read it tomorrow again, but it does look promising ideed!
