The Werewolf Game poll of the century!

[Tibs]

Frankly, if the issue is playercount, the more sensible option would be to abolish jTWG altogether and just run one game at a time.

[Red Blaster]

Host/Player discretion.

I voted for the TWG/jTWG option..which I mean should be the only option..multiple TWG games aren't ever happening unless it's a TWG/jTWG so the whole "many games" is kinda pointless unless it refers to non-ffr games as well. I think if you're in one and another game needs like a replacement or something you should be able to hop in if you can manage two games at once.

[blindreper1179]

That's usually true red. I've seen once where there were 2 TWGs at once on here.

our moderation structure probably wouldn't reliably catch that or penalize it IMO

solid idea, and basically the way I think we should be handling all of our rules things, given the size of our community and the lack of a governing body.

-Does this person have a recent track record of being reliable enough to be sufficiently active in both games?
-Is there a high possibility of confusion akin to what psychoangel said? (Confusion on roles and who's who).
-Are signups slow and is this person a new player? If not, perhaps giving others a chance to play would be better.

bingo

there was a stretch of time where we were running two games and calling them both TWG. our folks who have been jTWG regulars have picked up quite a bit of experience now, and it shows in the way those games have played out (and in the overall postcounts, I guess). the jTWG label is losing whatever utility it may have had.

it does not; that's all honor system.

[dAnceguy117]

host discretion sounds fine to me, but I voted no.

so playing in only one game just won't satiate you. guess what? there are a million other outlets for getting your Werewolf/Mafia on. expand your horizons instead of bringing some of these issues into play, even if the issues are minor or can be somewhat mitigated by threat of modkill. my 2¢

it would be up to game hosts to modkill
but I think overall twg doesn't really need moderation in the sense that we need someone to give out/keep track of penalties, we have a mod more for the forum aspect and not the game aspect, if that makes sense

play with me on 2+2 or mafiascum, guys

[j-rodd123]

i agree host discretion seems like the best solution

also play on 2+2 where you never have to worry about half of the people in the fkn game doing literally nothing

[Red Blaster]

Or host 2+2 style games here every now and then!

2+2 games are filled with ppl who care lol

[j-rodd123]

^ya which is what I was implying

not that there aren't people on FFr who care, clearly there are, it just seems like a large percentage of the games nowadays here are filled with inactive people who really don't. I saw the last jtwg looked bumping, so I really don't know what a solution would be

i'll probably suggest hosting a game next myself and i'll impost some posting restrictions, so if my game gets voted ill announced them along with my game (they wont be anything crazy obv) then it should muster up a slightly more committed crowd

[Red Blaster]

I think it'd be cool to at least try one..maybe that'll be the game that rekindles everyone's interest.
And we could run them in the grace period between game setups since they are relatively quick.

Idk I guess you could just as easily go play on 2+2 lmao

[j-rodd123]

no red blaster there's no difference between the type of game, it's just the players.

the 13er choof is hosting right now is a common game on 2+2 and there's also huge games for 30-70 people that run like twice a month (obv we can't do those here)

I don't get what you're referring to when you say "try one". they literally play 13er vanillas (3 wolves + 1 seer), huge mystery games, turbos (fast games modded by a bot), or the occasional ~15-20 person game with a disclosed role set and theme (or like a c9++)

[Red Blaster]

Was referring to turbos.

[j-rodd123]

we got live TWG for that I guess

[choof]

idk there's something in me that wants to see ffr invade 2+2 solely for turbos
they're neat as fuck
