Werewolf: Stranger Things

duffman13

OP Stranger Things:

Welcome to Hawkins Indiana, a small town in mid 1980s America. The town is home to an American military base which just about makes it stick out differently from all the other thousands of towns along the American rust belt. Not much ever happens here...but recently a small boy disappeared suddenly on a nice Sunday evening while cycling home from his friends house after a day of dungeons and dragons.
Will the Sheriff and his merry band of wild children be able to fend of the might of the American military and some unknown dark forces and find their friend? Let us meet the cast:

Good Team

Eleven – Cannot be killed by human teams only the Demogorgon, has one time power to eliminate the Demogorgon if she correctly identifies him

Will Byers – Is connected to the Demogorgon and can sometimes sense his presence. Can pick a two hour period of time once a day to see if the Demogorgon has posted on thread in that period. Can only do this twice in the entire game.

Jim Hopper – Sheriff – Chooses daily between a bullet and daily protect.

Joyce Byers – Seer – Gets one peek per night with result after morning munch at 10am.

Evil Teams

Americans
Dr Martin Brenner – Spends his time trying to convince others that his scientific experiments are ethical and needed when dealing with the commies. As the most senior scientist in the security base, he always looks good.

Hawkins Head of Security – If he gets shot at, he will survive and receive a bullet himself. One time power

Dr Sam Owens – Has one syringe he can use at any point after day 1 one to kill. The syringe takes 6 hours to take effect.

Security Guard - Vanilla Wolf

Serial Killer
Demogorgon – Each day recruits a player to his team. Can only die by lynch or Eleven attack – When he dies his mindless band will die with him. Powers can move with players who are converted

Please Note: Flavour be Flavour

Daily Competition will be open in the Hawkins arcade from 12 until 6pm. Details will be posted on thread at 10am each day.

Game Rules:


1) Once you are killed do not post in the thread again.DEAD PLAYERS DO NOT THANK LIVING PLAYERS POSTS

2) Don’t cheat, it’s a game that relies heavily on the players having integrity. No PMing other players in the game, and no chat about the game outside of this game thread. If you have any concerns about the game mechanics or the integrity of other players contact the mods who will make a decision. Do not discuss any of this in game or elsewhere. Always remember the mods may have secrets.

3) Please all try to reasonably contribute to the game thread and always remember to get a vote in (where it is possible for you to do so) as a minimum. There is a 5 post per day minimum limit. 2 missed votes and/or failure to hit minimum post counts twice will result in a substitution where possible or a modkill. Substitutions will be announced on thread by the game mods.

4) No posting of any PM's from the game mod or referring or alluding to the content of them or any backroom you may or may not have, without prior permission. Note that if there are new players playing, they may have been provided with backrooms to ask questions of the game mods irrespective of game role.

5) Game starts with a pre turn (night 0), followed by a flavour munch at 10am Monday morning and the lynch will be at 9pm. After 9pm Monday will be considered night 1. Role reveals will take place on thread after each death.... Most of the time.

6) Do not share your vote form password to anyone else. All votes for the lynch have to be made by yourself. Voting will be done via Google forms with the link provided in the OP, and the dedicated lynch link thread in the Werewolf Forum. In the event of a tied lynch, the lynch will be decided by last vote cast.

7) Policy on Abuse: Boards has a no-abuse rule in place that is in effect in this forum as well. By all means, call people on dodgy behaviour, point out if they are being silly or behaving strangely, be aggressive in your approach; but DO NOT abuse another player. If you feel another player has stepped over a line, the first step is to ask them to stop; if they do not, please PM a forum mod (sullivlo/Baggly/quickbeam) or use the report button on the post in question. Forum mods will investigate and action any issues at an appropriate time, keeping the game mods informed of any actions as needed.

8) Have fun, make memes, take the piss and try to enjoy the game.

The village win conditions before being fixed said that village had to kill the demigorgan and gain parity with the village.

Maybe one of the prizes from the competition is a death & resurrect again type prize, similar to one of the powers for father jack role in the ted game.

Should we helping Will out here? Breaking the above alphabetical group into who posts over a 2hr period?

How would this work?
People with usernames in the first group only allowed post in this 2 hour period, and you must post. 2nd group only then in the 2nd 2 hour period, and again must post?

Yeah something like that. We could divide it into 2 or 3 and then will can pick which time slot he wants.

Brendan WW

Can actually divide into four.
Say A and B. A's all post in the first slot, then you know if it's A or B. You can then split that group into A1, A2 (or B1, B2)

One issue is people being online. If someone's offline for the 2hr window it'll look suspicious but may just be real life, then we'd be muddying the water

If someone from whatever group can post at a certain time then they can discuss it with their group and all come to a time slot which suits. They only have to post once in that slot.

Interesting could DemoG or another wolf be in this group from this talk?

I'm just speculating guessing nothing concrete, are they trying to catch Will out

Trying to catch Will out by helping him?
Will doesn't come out on thread - let the village put the plans in place - he just has to watch and listen, and put the request in.
Have you any better way to use this advantage Liz? Or are you trying to deflect a good plan on how to catch you?

JP Liz V1

I do ask stupid questions, put stupid suggestions out there so be prepared players

Eva WW

I reckon it's probably best for Will to just pick a 2 hour slot where around half the people have posted, then we can work from there. If they do it tomorrow (assuming their power arrives at the start of the first day), then they'll pick some two hour window where nine different people have posted. Then they come out the following day and we set a plan to split up either that nine (if they do detect something), or the rest (for no).

Jake WW

The only one Will can sense is the demogorgan and he has 2 attempts. If we divide into 3 groups of 6 then Will could use both his attempts and would have the group the DemoG is in.

Worst case scenario - in which Will doesn't sense them on the first night we isolate DemoG to one in six people.

Best case - hits DemoG first time and then can split the 6 in half, and then we've isolated it down to 3 people.

Worst case is far more likely than best case though.

Splitting in half and then half again makes the worst case isolating to 1 in 5, but more likely 1 in 4.

Obviously the overall worst case would be Will dying before revealing anything.

Or being converted. Because he can just lie at that point and send us on a wild goose chase

Trigger

So he would need to do it early in the game to avoid the risk to that?

Sorry just catching up, not much i suppose.

The weather has been fab so out walking the Locks all day.

That’s my thinking too.

Will has no other power apart from sensing the demoG and he only has 2 goes at that. If we divided into 3 and he took he 2 attempts one after the other then he’d know which group he was in (based on him going for group 1 and group 2 and getting a negative then he’d know it’s group 3.

Will could come out then as he’s done his job.

Just have to organise time slots. But the sooner the better IMO.

Seems like a better idea than three groups.

Fair point, that would be the ultimate worst case.

Angus WW wrote: »

I'd agree with this too, always keep halving, and scanning the bigger of two unequal halves.

18, scan 9, positive or negative points you towards the next group, scan the 5, if positive, its in the 5, if negative, its in the 4.

Only way that splitting in three betters the result is on a positive 1st scan. so 66% of the time, halving is better than a 3 split.
