Werewolf is definitely taking off in these forums (which is perfect---this is Feed the BEAST, after all)! If you haven't joined a game yet to find out what all the fuss is about... what are you waiting for?

A lot of players have expressed interested in moderating a game of their own. Because Werewolf tends to work best the more players there are, I think it's best to avoid running too many games simultaneously. So, I'm proposing we form a nice, orderly queue for anyone interested in moderating a game, which I'll keep updated here.

To sign up to GM a game of Werewolf: Simply respond to this thread, stating your interest and (if you wish) a one-sentence teaser of the game you want to run, and I'll edit both into this post.

(Quick Disclaimer: None of the above has been typed in a Bold, Martian Red, so I'm not acting in Forum Moderator capacity here---this is merely my attempt to organize us a little. If you want to run a smaller game while another game is progressing, or if you're an anarchist who hates queues and just wants to watch the world burn, feel free to ignore this without fearing orbital bombardment from my Martian Doom Citadel.)

Current Games
  1. (NOW RECRUITING PLAYERS!) --- PeggleFrank --- Dishonored-themed Werewolf!
The Moderator Queue
  1. VikeStep --- Skyrim-themed Werewolf! (VikeStep recently took an arrow in the knee, so he'll defer to the next people in line until Sept. 20th, when he'll be able to run a game.)
  2. dgdas9 --- A return to the simpler mechanics of Werewolf... with a twist.
  3. Eunomiac --- Werewolf, with "Artifacts" (special items with unique, one-use powers that give every player, including Villagers, an extra part to play in the game)
  4. the_j485 --- Borderlands-themed Werewolf! CATCH A RIIIIIIIDE!
  5. Staxed --- Aliens vs. Predator-themed Werewolf! Game on, you sexual tyrannosaurus, GAME ON!
  6. Jess887cp --- Werewolf, with a selection of unique roles & mechanics.
  7. GPuzzle --- Left 4 Dead-themed Werewolf! The wolves are the survivors, criminals comprise the army, and every public washroom holds an abandoned cache of assault rifles!
  8. goreae --- Team Fortress 2-themed Werewolf! Red Team vs. Blue Team ... vs. Robots, of course!
  9. frederikam --- (TBD)
Finished Games
  • (FINISHED - WINNER: Werewolves) --- goreae --- A three-way showdown between Werewolves, Chaps and Criminals at MonoCon!
  • (FINISHED - WINNER: Werewolves) --- ICountFrom0 --- Taking Werewolf to the next level of awesome insanity, where counting from zero is just the beginning.
  • (FINISHED - WINNER: Werewolves) --- Eunomiac --- FTB's first Werewolf adventure.
Statistics
(For the purpose of these statistics, the majority team in any game is considered the "Villager" team, while the minority team with a night-kill is considered the "Werewolf" team.)

3 Games. 32 Players. 6 Winners.
  • all 6 winners were Werewolves
  • 3 won while they were dead
  • only 1 Werewolf has ever lost a game
4 out of every 5 lynchings kill Villagers (!)

1 out of every 3 players survive to the end of the game... but only a third of them win.

I only said it was going to be simpler. Not that it was going to be with the pure mechanics. I think I have an interesting twist, thanks to Peggle.

You might also want to provide a list of already finished games and their threads.



Also, I believe Vikestep claimed game 5. He said somewhere that he would host a game.

My bad, I misunderstood. I'll edit it to "simpler mechanics ... with a twist" :)[DOUBLEPOST=1378743969][/DOUBLEPOST]

Good idea --- I'll do that. I'll also see if I can search out VikeStep's claim, just to make sure.

This thread is a great Idea. Finally we can all get organized. Just for the sake of it, I officially dibs the 6th round of the game "Werewolf". God bless the United States of America.

Okay, it was on the first page --- his school term finishes on the 20th of September, and he called dibs on the first game that started after that point. So I put that into the OP, and bumped dgdas9 up to the slot immediately after Peggle's game.

dgdas9, when you said you were running game #6, did you know of another player who had already claimed game #5?

Sign me up, I want a go at it as well :D (I'll come up with a theme later...)
Ack it just occurred to me that first-come, first-serve might not be entirely fair on the very first day of this thread---I know, for example, that the_j485 is really keen on running a Borderlands-themed game, and it would be terribly unfair if he logged in late today and found himself in 10th place. So in the interests of fairness, I think it's best if I wait 12 hours for people to express their interest, then sort them all by RNG before adding them to the list this evening. (As of now, the only people on the list are people who called dibs on running a game before I posted this thread---if you can point to a post in another thread where you expressed interest in GM'ing, please let me know.)

Hopefully this is fair. I'm sure you'll tell me if it isn't :)

I would like to apply as next after Vike, for a Borderlands-themed Werewolf thread.

VikeStep isn't "on" the list, per se; he gets VIP treatment on Sept 20th, when he's added to the top of the list (he needs to wait till his school term ends before he can commit the time to run a game). So I'll include you and Staxed (and anyone else who signs up before this evening) in the random ordering, and then I'll add goreae to the end because he asked to be last :)

I did sign up and I'm pretty sure by the time Peggles game is over, it should be 20th

Eh, I've never tried my hand at being the GM of a game this big, but I guess I could give it a try. I've been writing up a list of mechanics, but as of right now, they're fairly unbalanced. I know you said you'd chose the order by RNG, but if possible, please put me towards the end of the list.

Hey, Euno, I don't seem to be on the list, any reason for that?
(To give people a chance to log in and see this thread, I'm going to wait 12 hours from this posting before I add new names to the list. When that time is up, I'll arrange anyone who signed up by random number generator. This way, someone who logs in late on the first day isn't automatically sent to last place in the queue!)
