    A day phase of 35 hours, I'd say maybe 20 might be a nice amount but I'm just plucking figures here, that'll be insanely low to some people.

    Last call for signups, closing tomorrow night 1st May at 23.59pm.

    Reminder that the game will have an incredibly soft opening over the May bank holiday weekend with first action taking place on Tuesday, 7th May.

    OP will be posted sometime Friday afternoon. Reminder that this is a longer phase game, and will likely go on for a decent period of time - but the longer phases mean that constant attention to the thread by players is not required. Dip in and dip out as you deem necessary.

    For our new players (or those who have not played WW in their own accounts before), you should request posting access to the WW Subforum... here.

    If anyone would like DR access please give me or sully a shout via PM or on here.

    yeah I think so it seems very manageable for work
    Yep. Same here.

    I'll give it a lash if there's still room.

    Is there anything a complete noob should know ahead of this starting. I literally have no clue what I've signed up for :/

    For general stuff look here.

    Anything specific after that, just ask :)

    So the premise of the game is basically there are two teams: wolves and villagers.

    The aim of the game for the wolves is to kill off the villagers and survive long enough that their numbers are level with that of the villagers (gaining parity). They do this by enacting their kill (munch) during the night phase, and that gets announced as the day phase begins. Normally the wolves will have a seperate place to plan their killing and submit who they would like to kill.

    The aim of the game for the villagers is to find and kill all the wolves. How they do this is by voting in a lynch which takes place at the end of each day phase. Wolves can vote too so as not to give them away.

    There's no art to this really or anything, basically people post on the game thread and we all don our Sherlock Holmes caps and play investigator based off what others say on thread.
    Any other questions feel free to ask here or PM me if you like.

    Here's a few handy acronyms and some Werewolf jargon that might be used during the game as well:

    FFA - Stands for Free For All. Basically if someone asks you for an FFA they'll be asking you for the three people you think are most likely to be a wolf.
    Wolfy/Wolfiest - People will use this to describe posts by others who seem suspicious.
    Flip - When people refer to the flip, they are on about what a player will reveal as when their role is revealed on their death.
    Alignment - Basically - is the player good or evil.
    Munch - this is the werewolves kill each morning
    Lynch - what all players vote in each night
    Town - another way to describe someone or yourself as good.
    Reads List - If someone asks you about your reads, or a reads list, they want to know who you think is good, bad, and who you have no read on. A more in depth version of the FFA tbh.

    If anyone wants to add some phrases feel free to do so, I'm sure I've missed some.

    Don't worry about it too much, this game will be super vanilla so there won't be any of the complexities that are usually seen in the monthly games here.

    Ok, now I'm excited!


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    ISO - reading all of one player’s posts in isolation


    CFD - Chinese Fire Drill, a last minute leap of votes on one player at lynch


    Wagonomics - studying the vote history of players to determine where a wolf might be hiding, especially later in the game when some roles have already been outed.


    Soft role claim - hinting at having an important Villager role


    Hard role claim - outright stating your role (remember, nobody is obliged to tell the truth so a Wolf could just as easily make a fake role claim as a Villager could make a genuine one)


    Beakering - role claiming an outlandish role or power

    What do you mean by incredibly soft opening? Is that just code for very long first day that ends in a lynch on Tuesday night?


    If there is a munch on Tuesday morning, then why is the thread open for this incredibly soft opening, i thought we were doing closed nights, so if the thread is open, its ending in a lynch. Right.

    Game begins on a munch, only night open for posting is extended night 0.

    to clarify, the game stats on Tuesday with a munch, but is open from the Friday? will it close for Friday Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights? are people expected to post over the weekend? like if I don't turn up until the game begins on Tuesday am I going to be under suspicion cos I wasn't sh1t posting since Friday (I appreciate the mods can't answer the last question!)

    No. you shouldn't. It would be advisable for every villager to zero post in the extended night 0.
