1 Day TWG on AIM
 

I just thought about it, and in real life, you wouldn't spread a game of Mafia/TWG over a week, you'd do it in one day. Now you can't do this quite the same over the internet, but I had a cool idea:

What if we got a group of 15 or so of us who could all be guaranteed to be online for several hours, made a TWG chat on AIM, and played a quick game as though it were in real life? Everybody would be invited to the chat, and we could make it a rule that all text is in Times New Roman or Arial, not bolded, or use underlining for votes. Things would be much faster, but it'd be more personal and the fast pace would insure activity. Having everybody be active means that wolves may slip up in the chat and personal AIM convos.

Also, since I'm basing this off of real life games, the rules would be like they are IRL. When you die, your role is told to everybody and you must be completely silent (in this case you'd just leave the chat and never return or talk to the living in private convos). In order to maintain the fast pace, there wouldn't be a story (a lot of people don't read those anyway, I'm pretty sure).

The only problem is getting 15 people with a few hours to spare. Perhaps the game size could be lower to have 2 wolves and 10 or so people? I'm not sure on proper proportions for shrinking the game size, but I think we should try this some time. So, who would be willing to blow a few hours on TWG over AIM?

sounds interesting

RE: 1 Day TWG on AIM
 

I wouldn't mind doing this, but the players would have to be slightly minimal. 10 or so would be good.

However, right now isn't a good time seeing as most people are finishing up with school.

I have 24/7/365 to spare

i could do it if it was AFTER 3PM eastern time

RE: 1 Day TWG on AIM
 

If I had the time, I would enjoy doing this!

I like the idea.

I was just talking to Tass about this a few days ago.

I've thought about it since around the days of TWG II. I'd like to handle it on IRC. I'd be happy to host it, as soon as finals are over and I'm back at home.

RE: 1 Day TWG on AIM
 

I think it would work. And there could maybr even be a slight mix
of jTWG and TWG players in such a game.

RE: 1 Day TWG on AIM
 

No thanks...

There's an IRC channel that's sort of like this on gamesurge and it's automated. I forget what it's called though.

Hey this sounds like a good idea.

Re: RE: 1 Day TWG on AIM

Re: RE: 1 Day TWG on AIM

I don't know :'(

I could write something in PHP to manage the votes.

RE: Re: RE: 1 Day TWG on AIM
 

Y'all know I'm on for this shit... but, it would be best to wait until finals are over for the majority of players. And, it needs to be held on a weekend... I know I'll be working like 9-5 M-F once school is out.

Klar, wir muss dem Spiel haben, wann haben die Spieler (und mich!) kein Arbeit.

Ich arbeite bei McDonald's um Nacht. Wir muss dem Spiel haben auf eine Nacht, wann arbeite ich nicht.

Warum mußte das auf Deutsch gesagt werden?

Я предпочитаю использовать русского.
