Default TWG Host's Handbook

Hi Prospective and Current TWG hosts! There seems to be some confusion as to what a host's responsibilities are recently, and I'm hoping this will help. Please read over the following step by step procedure to review the steps in becoming a host and preforming host duties.

Step 1: Designing a TWG Game.

Basic game balance guidelines:
----There should be 3 humans for every wolf.
----The Human team should not be able to create a confimed Human alliance easily.

----Once your game is created and you've balanced everything, your next job is to send it to the current game's host.

----When the current game is over, that game's host will put up a postgame and eventually a player voting thread. If your game gets the most votes over 4 days (or gets 20 votes). You will become the host for the next game.


Step 2: Player signups

1). This step isn't hard. Make a thread, and post your game design.
2). Give people time to sign up. Players should be using [twgv][/twgv] tags to claim a spot in the game. For example: In would be a valid signup.
-------If demand is high, set 2 different signup times (at a minimum 4 hours apart) for people to sign up.
3). Once the game fills you can move to step 3

Step 3: Hosting the game

1). Send PMs to all your players before you create the thread.
2). Create the thread with the Game description and all the rules in the Opening Post
3). State what phase it is and when it ends in a second post.
4). Follow the game, making votecharts and answering questions as necessary.
5). The Phase ends at exactly the time you posted in your phase opening post (see step 3)
------------If you said the phase ends at midnight, that means any votes with an 11:59 PM time stamp will be counted, while any votes with a 12:00 AM timestamp will not.
------------As a host you have the power to modify the exact time of phase ends to fit you and your players needs, but you must clarify what times are valid and invalid so your players know and can plan for specific phase end scenarios.
6). Repeat items 3-6 above until the game ends.
7). Proceed to step 4

Step 4: Postgame

Once the game is over you are required to disclose all the nuances of the game.
----Who had what role
----Who was MVP
----What were your personal thoughts as a host?

Please use the following format for your postgame Opening Post disclosures:

IN addition

You also want to ask players to send you the games that they want to host now. Some may have sent them before this and that's okay.

When the postgame starts to die down, proceed to Step 5

Step 5: Game Voting

As the previous host, It is your job to hand the torch to the next host.
Take all those games people have sent you while you were hosting and drop them in a "TWG: #### Game voting thread".

Cite the host and the name of the game, while dropping the game setup in [spoiler][/spoiler] tags.

Thats Everything!
