Sent you a skype friend request. I'll throw ya in when you accept.

[Makilaz]

I don't actually use that Skype account anymore, let me fix that. New Skype is Kaethela, please friend/invite that one.

[YoshL]

we'll hit the skype group limit soon enough and then transition over to discord or something lol

[thesunfan]

considering the Skype limit is 300 accounts or so...
hopefully!

So I have no idea what the game meta is anymore but I want to jump back into hosting, preferably a simpler game. Please let me know if this is a terrible idea that would never work or if I could make this happen at some point.

e: If jTWG is still a thing I can absolutely host one of those.

The current host is thesunfan
If you want to host a game, send him a private message with the game idea you want to host. At the end of the current TWG game thesunfan will make a new thread with all of the possible games, and then everyone will vote on which one(s) they would like to play (3 votes per person, can stack votes)

[YoshL]

the game meta is pretty much whatever people feel like playing

a lot of setups have been gotten from mafia wiki, to name a couple popular ones - matrix6 ( http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Matrix6 ) and C9++ ( http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=C9 ) which we haven't actually played in quite a bit lol

i think the simplest game setup would be the champions setup, which is just 13 players, 3 mafia/werewolves, 1 cop who starts off the game knowing of 1 player who is a vanilla townsperson

[Makilaz]

My usual simple/jTWG games went something like

Wolves
Master Wolf (sometimes, I'm on the fence about this one)
1 Guard
1 Seer
Humans

Adjust numbers depending on player signup, done. The absolute simplest game I've run was just wolves vs humans, no special roles on either side, but that gets kinda boring.

ooo that scumhunting training setup should be run but probably smaller player count rather than a larger group of players

[Makilaz]

Winning a manhunt as the sole wolf is my proudest accomplishment in this game, and I will probably never top it.

[YoshL]

problem with that setup is follow the cop can happen, which makes the game kinda meh

even with a master wolf, the cop can claim at the start and the guardian will just protect them every single night

although admittedly that's easily fixed by nerfing guardian, you could just "guardian can't save the same person twice in a row"

[YoshL]

basically i think twg has kinda grown from a party type game into a pretty dang serious thing on ffr, and setups that are played more recently at least attempt to hold some kind of balance aspect in question etc. etc.

[Makilaz]

Yeah I realized that and would either nerf guard or swap it out for a vigilante or something. Also FFR TWG has always been really serious so I can understand the worry. I'm not a clueless newbie, don't fret.
