2026 TWG Rules Thread

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

13d makes sense for strictly town vs wolf mechanics
third parties should be allowed to play against their win con
it wouldnt exactly make them liked or is not an inherently good thing to do but outright saying "you have to play this role EXACTLY like you're supposed to" is not very cool

there's also the fact that people could play against a win con and just straight up say "ya idk what happened there but i was just having a rough game I guess !!"

requesting an addition to rule 1

"rule 1a) 1a"

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

it does

my thinking is, and I think it was you who said it earlier, that this kind of thing has to be evaluated on a case by case basis

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

There's a difference between strategy and purposely throwing the game when it comes to playing with/against your win condition.

I think 16 just needs to be reworded. 16a seems mildly redundant with how you open 16 itself. The third example is also overly wordy and I feel would be better introduced after the doctor example.

I still maintain that pretending to align with another faction holds strategic benefits

and that outing yourself might further your chances of winning

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

I think we need to talk about 13d

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

down with 13d

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

What falls under 13d? I think that needs to be specified.
Because one could argue dropping off the face of the earth mid-game breaches that rule, but I think you're getting at something entirely different.

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

there should be a discussion about 13d I think. I'm still in favor of it, but IIRC several were not

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

Updated a few things:

Added a changelog


Removed rule 8 (No player, for any reason, is required to play in 1 or more jTWG games before playing in a TWG game).

Made rule 8a rule 8

Changed the wording of rule 6a from (Voting must be done in the thread, with no exceptions) to (Voting for the lynch must be done in the thread, with no exceptions).

Changed the word of rule 10d from (Speculating on the alignment of a player through the act of the player replacing out is legal, but is discouraged) to (Speculating on the alignment of a player through the act of the player replacing out is legal).

Added rule 10e

Added rule 13d

Would like to see this formally adopted as the new rules list at some point

Again, if anyone feels like there are things missing, please let me know. I'll work on adding a tl;dr at some point in the near future

I would say so, yes.

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

Question, does being banned from playing in games also exclude you from sending and potentially hosting a setup?
