Admin Thread for TiG LXVIII: A Full Moon Over Innsmouth

Can you hear it, my cubs? Gaia screams in terror.

The stars are wrong tonight, and Luna hides her face from us. Bad times are in the air.

I tell you truly, whatever's causing this is on the coast. You three, go to the city of Innsmouth. Find the root of the problem, and destroy it. It will be hard, and it will be bloody, but you must do it. Begin slowly, claws in the dark, and when the hour is right, bring down the rage on them and their whole city.

Go.


Welcome to Werewolf 68: A Full Moon Over Innsmouth. Roles are pretty standard. There will be one lynch allowed per day, one kill allowed per night. When the village is reduced to the same number as the werewolves, the wolves win. If all the wolves are eliminated, the village wins. Roles are as follows:

The Dreamer: Once per night he may choose another player. In the watery visions, he is shown the truth about his target's role.

The Priest: Once per night she may focus the power of the Order into a blessing of protection. Her target may not be killed until the next morning. She cannot target the same player twice in a row, however. Too much of that sort of attention is unhealthy.

The Changed: He knows his destiny, and it does not end in claws and blood, but in the waters. If he should die, he has the ability to take one player with him. He may choose a new target at any time before his death.

The Agent: There's been some weird things going on. The faster she can report back and leave this city, the better. She is working against the village, and she wins if Innsmouth loses.

The Pack: They've been sent to stop the apocalypse. They may work together to kill one villager per night. And for once, they're not the scariest thing in the town.

Current player list:
Inziladun, fisherman
Pitchwife, heretical organist
Loslote, humble seamstress
Hakon
wilwa
Nogrod, student of alternate cosmologies
Saucepan Man, disturbed and disturbing artist
Roa, Innsmouth physician (with everything that entails)
Craydon1, penniless drifter
Nienna, "innocent" child and meteorologist
Nerwen, last scion of a decadent dynasty
Legate, displaced scholar of the Pnakotic Shards
A Little Green, blind ex-soldier
Morsul, quiet librarian
Kitanna
Lairen Shadow
Brinn

Feel free to give yourself a role in the village. Keeping it HP Lovecraft appropriate is a plus, but not mandatory.

Iä, Cthulhu! Give us your gifts and keep us through the nights. By your servants' names we pray, the Water Brothers to change us, the Winged Sisters to enlighten us, and the One who protects us. Amen.

Voting should be done on a new line, bolded, like so:

Any other vote will not be counted.

Deadlines will be at 1600 GMT (11:00am my time).

Wow, it only took two posts until someone discovered it. Yeah, this began in my head as a crossover Werewolf: the Apocalypse/Call of Cthulhu scenario. Until I realized it would work just as well as a Werewolf game. Funny how that works.

Forgot about the role. Seeing as it's Innsmouth, I'm a fisherman.

I'm in, but if it starts before Columbus Day, I'll have trouble being involved the first few days.

Put me down as the town doctor, who specializes in the... unique needs of the villagers.

Hey I'm new to this way of playing werewolf, but would be interested in giving it a try. If we are picking roles, I like the drifter from some of Lovecraft's tales. If anyone's played Arkham Horror, Ashcan Pete rocks. Oh, btw, Roa invited me.

As for the role...I've never read the story, so I'm not sure what all we're choosing from, but would a seamstress fit?

I'm in though deadline might be a bit awkward. I'm very addicted to this game.

I'm trying to get a sparknotes from Fea as we speak about Lovecraft as I don't know him... so far she has given me "Lovecraft is Poe minus the alliteration" and now "creepy stories about small towns and dodgy houses where people do kinda creepy things... badly timed weather" she would however like this disclaimer "Fea has only actually read two Lovecraft stories that she can remember, and so is making a generalization, but the generalization was supported by a Lovecraft enthusiast."

So I'd like to be the badly timed weather please... Erm... I mean... I would like to be the innocent looking child with a disconcerting ability to predict the badly timed weather.

And for the record, I am in fact out. Deadline's rather awful for me and things are going to be getting a bit hectic soon so it's the perfect time for a Werewolf vacation.


ETA: Oh, and Cabbie, the game does look amazing. Haven't read Lovecraft but I think it should be fun. I'll try to keep my eye on the game.

I would like to note that deadline does not work for me too well. It is about noon my time. I will have to vote early.

Also Nienna you can read all of Lovecraft's works online for free. It is how I have been reading them since the start of summer. The Specific Story that this game is based off of.

Site one that has his complete works.
Site two

That's about right. Now you just need to pepper your conversation with the following:

"Yog-Sothoth blah, blah, blah... Miskatonic University blah, blah... shoggoths blah, blah, blah... ghastly shapes hinting at nameless horrors behind the protective veil of mortal vision, blah... Nyarlathotep the Crawling Chaos blah, blah, blah... The Great Old Ones blah, blah, blah... unspeakable soul-blasting monstrosities from the abyss blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... Necronomican blah, blah, blah... R'lyeh blah, Cthulhu blah blah, blah..."

There.

Just read the first page of the story from the link Hakon provided, and it sounds really neat, right up my ally.

And SPM is playing....and school is fairly slow over the next few weeks....soooo

I'm gonna say that I should definitely be able to play, need more time to figure out some sort of occupation though.

I think I'll be a blind ex-soldier who lives on rats. Hope that's ok. (I'm not familiar with Lovecraft's work, but read the Wikipedia article about the book... )

Like doing face jobs on Nerwen's older relations so they can show themselves in public and go shopping in Newburyport? You'll make a fortune!

this is my first time playing WW... I just looked at an old WW game to see how to play I am COMPLETELY confused and I haven't gotten past day one... can anyone help explain it to a newbie like me? I though it was like the rpg threads but it doesn't seem to be

EDIT: so the mod makes the story and then we vote and such... we don't actually narrate our on characters... DO I have that right?

Indeed the mod (McCaber) will handle the narration, based upon game events. All the players have to do is play their roles and vote as befits those roles. If you're one of the Pack (or the Agent), your goal is to see the number of the innocents reduced to the number of the remaining Pack, or fewer.
Otherwise, your aim is to figure out the identities of the Pack and try to get them lynched.
You'll be sent a PM from McCaber explaining what your particular role is.

EDIT- There is a distinction between the role McCaber asked everyone to come up with, and the role he will give you. The one you pick is really just for fun, and to add a bit of spice to the narration. The one you're given by McCaber is the important one, as it dictates how you'll vote and otherwise carry yourself in your game posts.

That's just what playing WW feels like. Getting past Day One is the most confusing part of the game, as everyone (except for the wolves) will be groping in the dark and trying to find out whom to suspect with next to nothing tangible to go on. After the first Night kill, you look back at who said what on Day One and try to draw connections, and so on.
As for role-playing, we don't do the narrations, but I find it's more fun when people make an attempt to post in character (referring to your chosen identity, not your Mod-assigned secret role), at least initially. Later on, analyses, accusations and defenses tend to devour the role-playing aspect.
Don't worry, it's not that difficult. You'll do fine!
