I'm running with my Hidden Immunity Statue idea. 16 players, 3 wolves, 1 seer, 1 channeler (read link for more info), and one very interesting artifact that can make or break the game for either team if played properly.
I think that the wolves have a better shot at winning this one than in recent games because they can work together to find the statue (only 1 wolf victory in all of 20-30, so that's something that's in need of attention).
However, the statue can help either side, which is what makes it such an interesting tool (and a variable that, much like the prosecutor, should generate a lot of possibilities for discussion.)
I ran the numbers, and there's about a 75% chance of the statue being found in the game. I think that's considerable enough that it's likely to be found without being certain enough that it will definitely be found.
Most of the games I've run recently have been failed experiments, because they've been trying to deviate too far from standard TWG, but this one is a standard game with one interesting element - I'm not trying something completely new here. Give it a shot - I don't think it will disappoint.

We'll start with sixteen players. Number of wolves versus number of humans is still TBD, but that'll be announced before the game starts (you won't be THAT in the dark). If we need to, it'll work with fourteen, too.

So, you won't know what roles there are. Is there a seer? Are there two? Can you count on being guarded if I come out? Nobody knows.

So, you can also fake any role you want. Conversely, you can't immediately trust any information that's given.

This game is designed to be more fun than serious. Skill can and should definitely be used, but it should be directed at patterns and watching the other people rather than formulating the best plan for the blues and alliance-forming. Also, I'm not guaranteeing balance. The game won't be designed lopsided, as I'm trying hard to balance it as much as I can, but I'm mostly presuming the can't-trust-public-information fact will equalize a whole lot.

Possible roles and abilities in this game will include, but by no means be exclusive to, roles we've seen here at FFR. Like I said, you can't count on anything, nor can you expect everything.

[Tasselfoot]

Chardish, Guido's game seems to be put together very quickly... I'd like to give him a bit more time to formulate his plans and ideas, plus work on balance.

[talisman]

chardish even though a year ban was a bit excessive.

[GuidoHunter]

Hah, you're missing the point of the balance issue, Tass. Besides it probably not being an issue, the game is designed such that a little imbalance shouldn't affect the overall fun of the game. On top of that, I'm not gonna want to host for a while after this, but whatever.

So, suffice it to say, I'm not going to work hard enough to assure balance. Maybe it'll be a perfectly balanced game, but I guarantee nothing.

I've played those kind of games on mafiascum (Actually, almost all the games on mafiascum is like that) and I have to say it is quite fun, though it might not be always balanced I think it is a good idea and a good change to the current TWG.

[MiniNeo]

PS lol aperson drama

[stretchypanda]

Chardish

Sorry, bby, but I already promised to play Chardish's game.

Besides, I think you're going to be super busy with work and Disgaea and the occasional girlfriend visits to run a game.

[Tasselfoot]

ouch. He can't even get the girl-toy vote.

[MiniNeo]

<=o

[stretchypanda]

Love that Baby Momma Drama.

[Kilgamayan]

Kilga

[blahblah18]

I vote AP and yo uguys should wait for him if you want a game that will be good

[mead1]

Guido

game sounds fun

[chardish]

Chardish

[Tasselfoot]

Blah... if we wait for ap, we'll be waiting a year. Chardish banned him for 1 year. Way to keep up with forum drama, yo.

PS - 4-2 Chardish, currently. Ignoring the votes for ap/kilga.

[nforcer06164]

Chardish. I want to play his game. Great original idea.

[Wilkin]

I'll go with Chardish on this one.

[Afrobean]

Wow.

Chardish's game looks good, but honestly, it'll be the same as the last about 10 games. Wolves will be obliterated.

Guido. Looking forward to some fun craziness, and not the same old "oh hey I'm the seer, oops i win lol"

[talisman]

I'm voting chardish again, in the hope that it will be accidentally counted twice.

[JurseyRider734]

Chardish hey guys my ban is up lol

It sounds awesome. I'm interested in playing it.

[Afrobean]

Well this sucks ass. Chardish, since you're almost certainly going to win, do not make me a wolf. I'm tired of losing.

[Wilkin]

For future ideas, we should do a game where the host deliberately picks the roles. That could incorporate a new factor of getting inside the host's head into the game.

[talisman]

it's already happened. See the first manhunt, hosted by tass.

[GuidoHunter]

And see the game hosted by me, although nobody knew that they were going to be picked....

I'm also convinced that nForcer chose me to be the prosecutor, but no proof...

EDIT: Oh yeah, Guido

[Afrobean]

For future ideas, we should do a game where the host deliberately picks the roles. That could incorporate a new factor of getting inside the host's head into the game. I have a sneaking suspicion that many games are actually picked this way. It ensures even teams (ex: all wolves being newbs wouldn't be completely fair), and it takes less effort than randomizing it.

[iggymatrixcounter]

guido

may not win but I want to make sure I support his idea. I do like both games but I like crazy wack roles, senarios and not just a game with a new element or two, to keep the game interesting and with lots of discussion.

I always worry about day 1 and what would be discussed, so basically I think there will be more to talk about during guido's game over chardish's.

EDIT: 7-5 chardish i think

[mead1]

quick guido solicit people through AIM

[stretchypanda]

I want you!





















To pick Chardish's game.

[FishFishRevolution]

COME ON UNDERDOG

Guido

[Kilgamayan]

Some of my games had hand-picked roles.

I don't think Kefit has been a special role in any of my games though, which is why it's always amusing to see people go after him.

[lightdarkness]

Chardish

Come on guys, his game is clearly supirior

[chardish]

Chardish

Come on guys, his game is clearly supirior

As much as I appreciate the show of support, you're not supposed to vote if you can't play.

[Tasselfoot]

8-6 Chardish, not including LDs vote.

PLAYER SIGNUPS WILL BE AT 5PM AND 10PM THURSDAY... host signups will end at 5pm tomorrow.

[Omeganitros]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm sorry, Guido. I wasn't here when you needed me!

[Tasselfoot]

host voting isnt over..... not til player signups start

[Omeganitros]

Oh....Guido

[iggymatrixcounter]

8-6 Chardish, not including LDs vote.

PLAYER SIGNUPS WILL BE AT 5PM AND 10PM THURSDAY... host signups will end at 5pm tomorrow.

EDIT: 7 - 7 not including LD's

[Afrobean]

I should get Noah to vote haha.

What do we do in the event of a tie anyway? Randomize it and the other person does the next game?

[Kefit]

Guido

By the way, Tass, you are simply brilliant when it comes to picking sign-up times that I have no hope of being around for.

Oh well. If last game is any indication, then there should still be plenty of spots left when I get home from work at around 1:00am EST

[Tasselfoot]

It is 8-8... apparently Iggy can't count.

Not sure what we'll do in the event of a tie.

Kefit: Signups used to be all at 1 time... at least we've goven SOME form of seperation to allow people to make 1. Silly west coasters and/or europeans just gotta cope. Sorry.

[Kilgamayan]

Chardish.

Since I'm invariably going to be green, I figure I might as well drag a whole bunch of you down with me.

[Tasselfoot]

1 minute. 9-8 chardish.

[Tasselfoot]

In... like a chicken leg in oprah's belly.

[Kilgamayan]

5 here.

inzo

[nforcer06164]

In.

[blahblah18]

in

[stretchypanda]

In.

[nforcer06164]

Signups unusually slow?

[Tasselfoot]

3 more.

and, no nforcer...this has been typical recently.

[Tasselfoot]

FYI... I'm leaving right now for Atlantic City. I won't be back til ~11am Saturday.

I have instructed Whorli to call me with my role, whenever it is given to me... and should I be any kind of special role, I will make sure that Whorli tells Chardish.

Although... EVERYONE has to send a PM with their digging location, right? So, yea... I'll make sure Whorli gets my location in to Chardish. In fact, I'll tell Chardish my location right now.

[MiniNeo]

Me Woooooooo

[iggymatrixcounter]

in I guess.

[iggymatrixcounter]

btw...

Chardish – Tass, talisman, stretchypanda, chardish, nforcer, wilkin, jurs, (LD doesn’t count?), kilga

Guido – Mini, mead, afro, guido, iggy, fish, omega, kefit

8-8 by my count. You said LD's didn't count so I didn't count it. If it does count then whatever, but we have a tie right now.

[JurseyRider734]

In

[Wilkin]

In, if the cutoff hasn't happened yet.

[chardish]

In, if the cutoff hasn't happened yet.

Iggy's not playing in my game. Sorry man, you just need to take a breather and watch one.

Tass, Kilga, nforcer, Blah, Panda, Mini, Jurs, Wilkin. That's 8. Next 8 @ 10.

[GuidoHunter]

Soooooo.....if LD's vote doesn't count, how about whoever gets the next vote wins? I'm going to eat, so I can't campaign, if you're wondering.

--Guido

http://andy.mikee385.com

[Snapps]

Chardish

[chardish]

Guess that settles it.

[MiniNeo]

lol wtf

[iggymatrixcounter]

Iggy's not playing in my game. Sorry man, you just need to take a breather and watch one.

Tass, Kilga, nforcer, Blah, Panda, Mini, Jurs, Wilkin. That's 8. Next 8 @ 10.

Umm, reason?

[Afrobean]

Oh I guess that means I can sign up now?

Right?

Ok.

PS iggy, I don't blame chardish for not wanting you to play. You play like Tass, except at least Tass is especially good at alliance leading.

[chardish]

Yeah, signups are back on. What with the slow pace and all, I don't think that we really need to worry about doorbusters these days.

[talisman]

bitch move kicking iggy out just because you disagree with his play style. As far as I'm concerned he's active and competent, and I see no reason why he should be kept out. Iggy appeal to the rest of TWC on this one.

oh and in.

[HansSky]

You need iggy. You're going to come up short as it is.

[chardish]

Fine, Iggy's in. hans, you in?

[Omeganitros]

*sigh*

I just PRAY pray pray I don't regret this.

In.

[lightdarkness]

omg I'm gonna help Chardish host

omg omg

[chardish]

omg I'm gonna help Chardish host

omg omg
Who said that?

[talisman]

want to cap this at 14 and adjust accordingly?

we'd need one more if hans is in (and kefit's coming) and two more if hans isn't.

[MiniNeo]

Just wait till tomorrow, let the people that usually can't make the sign-ups have a chance >_>

[Kefit]

o

ps in

[Wilkin]

I'm pretty sure Hans won't be able to make it. He'll be gone this weekend and for most of the summer starting the weekend after.

[blahblah18]

hey can I cause e-controversy and vote Guido, unless Snapps actually signs up? :)

[ddrdanc3r55]

I'm pwning in jTWG, so I guess I'll sign up if this game isn't going by the time jTWG is over, which should be pretty soon.

[HansSky]

I've already played my last TWG until college. My availability will be minimal from now until next Thursday. Following Thursday, that will go from minimal to zero until the middle of August.

[chardish]

Tass
Kilga
Nforcer
Blah
Stretchy
Mini
Jursey
Wilkin
Afro
Talis
Iggy
Omega
Kefit

3 more needed. If we don't have them by tonight-ish, I'm going to cap it at 14.

[mead1]

I would sign up, but I'm leaving for my summer job on June 11th, and will have internet access one day a week.

srry guys 8(

[mattc16]

i'll play when jTWG finishes. Like DDR said, shouldn't be long

[ddrdanc3r55]

Okay, I just got wolfed. Signed.

[DiscoBobbyPARANOiA]

[chardish]

[Kilgamayan]

[FishFishRevolution]
