A complex game needs more than 15 players to make it healthy. Right now, it looks dead.

At this point, everyone is a special. So, there is no sense to the game. I find it fun when we have true villagers (non-speacials), otherwise, it's not.

On that note, I am out.

Edit - It would have been fun if we would have 25 players, but I don't see that happening; unless, we actively recruit people.

That's actually the aim. I wanted to see how it would go if everyone, or most of the players, has a role. Don't know why it would make no sense.
 
If I eliminate the two roles as explained in post #200, then we'll need 14 players, which means we need two more, thanks to -aggie- and jav.

Honestly, I will join back if you can manage 15 people, and eliminate the Mystic. That would give abijnk back also, as well as me and I will try to convince -aggie- to join back. There you have 18 people.

The main reason for my departure is player count. Not enough players and the game never starts because of that.
 
Well i guess I'm In. Just 2 questions.*
Spy: Privy to all the targets of actions of all specials. Will be updated every night of the previous night's actions. Will not learn the results of those actions. Will only be presented a list of names. The order will be the same as the order the PMs were received (as opposed to the actual turn order).
The list of names will not have their roles right?
Vampire: There will be one vampire. At first he is weak and in need of blood. Each night he would drink the blood of a villager of his choosing. If the villager is a special (any type of special, including a werewolf), the vampire gets immunity for the night and day. This will wear off unless the vampire drinks the blood of another special.
He is only drinking the blood not killing them, right? And what immunity is this from?

No roles, just names. But probably irrelevant, since the role is likely going to be cut.

Um, from drinking potent blood, I guess. Vampires like their blood, you know? ;)

Back to 14 players now. If it stays that way, we will begin tomorrow, with the Spy gone and the Mystic merged back into the Seer.
 
So, I see 14 players and 15 roles. Can we clarify?

(1) werewolf hunter
(2) vampire hunter
(3) seer
(4) undertaker
(5) priest
(6) sorcerer
(7-9) 3 neighborhood watch
(10) alpha ww
(11) kamikaze ww
(12) normal ww
(13) vampire
(14) goth 1
(15) goth 2

Normal WW is through infection only.
 
Ok, so everyone has a role. No more, "I'm just a villager" stuff.



BTW, I'm just a villager.

The psychology will be interesting in this game. When everyone has a role, there is something to be lossed in every lynching. If this works out and is fun, it might make it easy to make intermediate games that go by quickly to get people assimilated into the more advanced games.
I'm curious as to how this game will work out.
Like maybe:
Seer
2 ww's
1v 1 goth
Hunters
Sorcerer
2 normal villagers.
Should be easy, and a lot more people will be ready for the advanced game.
If you played this game live, it'd be over in just a few days.
We could even align it so that the intermediate and advanced games end simultaneously.
Also, the vampire has permanent immunity in this game until he finds the goth. Did you intend for this to happen?
 
I've started a Google doc for the voting record, which I'll keep updated as long as I'm alive in my sig.
 
thanks ravenvii
thanks stonyC

everybody is special!!!! :D


have a good game everyone.

so has the game officially started? when is the first night deadline?

edit: in a single-handed attempt to get people to stay involved with the game, i will initially and non-randomly vote for whoever is the least active in the thread, unless of course some more compelling reason to vote another players arises. and i will use the same criteria as a tie-breaker when I can't decide among candidates.

EDIT 2
here is a cheat-sheet:

GOOD GUYS..........abilities

WW hunter..............protects from ww; 1 immunity from WW; 1 daylight insta-kill for WW and villagers
Vamp hunter............protects from vamp; 1 immunity from vamp; 1 daylight insta-kill for vamp and villagers
Seer.......................scans living to find ability/alignment, once/night
Undertaker..............scans dead to find ability/alignment, once/night
Sorcerer.................1 daytime resurrection
Priest.....................1 daytime yes/no question, needs 3 villagers for ritual
Secret Society (x3)...can PM each other

BAD GUYS

Alpha WW.................1 daytime infection; 1 attack/night; PMs other WW
Kamikaze WW............1 attack when lynched; PMs other WW
(normal WW).............if infected; PMs other WW
vampire....................inactive: 1 drink/night gives 1 night+day immunity if special; aware of goth scans;
...............................active (by finding goth): 1 attack/night; PMs other vamps
goths (x2).................inactive: 1 scan/night.
...............................active (by finding vamp): PMs other vamps

let me know if it needs corrections


do i understand correct that essentially the first night is exclusively to give the seer one extra scan and nothing else happens?

That and for the WW Hunter to protect (so that the wolves can't get in a day-one infection worry-free).

And the deadline is, uh *does math in head* 8:30 AM.

Nice summary by the way! I might add that to the OP, if you don't mind.

Oh, and by the way in case anyone is wondering, the Secret Society are *not* considered special in the context of the vampire's pre-activation blood-sucking power.
