Octopus Overlords

If no one can pick apart the rules of Robin Hood, I can see about getting it compiled and opened for signups.

Is this public knowledge? If the protection happens at night does that mean the next day "Mortianna" is announced as dead or just the name of the person with that role is dead without explanation? That leaves the potential for 2 dead bodies being found in the morning when you include Gisbourne's nightly kill.

The conversion is kept secret, right?

Isgrimnur wrote:Sheriff of Nottingham - If he finds Robin or Marian, they will be imprisoned. Robin/Marian's roles will be revealed. The villagers will have the next two days to locate and kill the Sheriff, otherwise Robin/Marian will be executed on the second night afterwards, taking place of the night kill.

Does their imprisonment mean they don't participate in the village lynch votes? So if the Sheriff finds one he gets to know the identity of both? That's a pretty big advantage in the middle and end game when the numbers are reduced. During his imprisonment can Robin continue the nightly scans? What advantage is it for the Sheriff to wait 2 days before killing Robin? If he's been identified why not take him out immediately?

Isgrimnur wrote:Mortianna - Kills the local woodland creatures to try and divine the location (identity) of Robin.

To me, woodland creatures = South Park. What does this mean? Just a regular nightly scan and anyone besides Robin will come back as negative?

Isgrimnur wrote:Sheriff of Nottingham - Scans for Will/Maid Marian

Is his scan result "Robin", "Will", "Marian", or "Villager"? What happens if he scans Azeem?

Azeem and Mortiana would die/depart in a very loud, public manner.

The conversion is secret.

Imprisonment is silence. One fewer vote during the day. Imprisonment would mean that the prisoner's role becomes public by town cryers and posted flyers. Voting numbers would be reduced to votes available in the square. Robin can continue to scan, as people come to gawk at him in his cell. It is not to the Sheriff's advantage to wait a night to kill. It's a personal failing that he wants a public spectacle, and scaffolds aren't built in a day.

Woodland creatures = reading entrails. Standard scan with only one valid target.

The Sheriff is only scanning for those three. He has no information about Azeem to identify him if found, nor any idea on what to do with it if he did.

Me too! Are we in another Forum Game Renaissance?

I have been prodded for another BSG game and I am up to running one right after soccer season in Mid April. That is why I am not playing right now, just no spare time.

After this Secret Hitler game is over I'm volunteering to run the next one which will allow El Jefe Grund to participate in this evil, evil game. That is if people are interested...

I'd be up for another go around.

Hitler killed himself. There is no second go around.

I wish he would hurry up and get to it then.

Yeah I'd be up for it as well. If there are any observers from this past game that want to jump in, I'd be open to stepping aside for them as well.

After bb2112's Secret Hitler game, and after any other WW games in the hopper, I'd be glad to host a round of Avalon.

I am IN for both...

et al

I'll keep playing.

What's next?

Not a damned thing, apparently.

Yeah, I'd be glad to do that. It'll be somewhere on the spectrum between Secret Hitler and Werewolf in terms of strategy, difficulty, and annoyingness|fun.

I'll queue up Avalon tonight.

It's like Secret Hitler but...
...without enactments (only elections)
...set in King Arthurian mythos
...Merlin (good) knows the evils from the outset
...Evils win if they ID Merlin
...a few other differences in specials

Ok, what's next?

That is a damn good question.

I can host Qantaga's X-Files game.

I am game.

I am assuming there will be a sign up page coming?

Doesn't look like X-Files is going to go off. I could run another Star Wars game or something else if people want.

Ok, it looks like we are going through a dead period. Can anyone recommend a good site for WW?

I'm in for any WW game.

How about we do a 8-10 person vanilla game? I can run it. Interested?

I am in for whatever.

Absolutely

Random roles too?

Go to the source. They have every variety of game going, including one where each day/night cycle takes ONE YEAR to complete.

Year???

How about a turbo game: 18 minutes/6 minutes for the Day/Night cycles. Think fast!

Ever played this ftf?
