[SPOILERS] Werewolf 3 Lurker Thread

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Interested, though I think it's a good idea to wait until about May to start as well.

For personal reasons (birth of our second child) I would be in support of a May 1st start date also. No need for my quietness during the birth to be perceived as "wolf"like.

[MJW (ya that one)]

Waiting until may is a long time. I think some RBers would like an earlyer game. But would anyone want to host it?...

I did I did!!! Go figure that the only person who wanted him dead as much as you did was a werewolf.

Ironically it was you who turned me off from Zakalwe . I was heavily suspecting you and then you jumped against him with that "wow that's heavy stuff against Zakalwe!" message (that just sounded so false). I immediately thought it as an attempt to get a villager killed

Today was the first day that I didn't feel like I needed to wake up in time to process the turn, yet I woke up anyways...

Anywho - I'm catching bits and pieces of it as people do their own post-mortems, but I'd like to hear specifically for my own education:

1. What went right with the running of the game?
   
2. Where were the minor hiccups in running the game?
   
3. What went horribly wrong with running the game?
   

Addtionally, what did people think of the no-PM format, the roleplaying bits, and the no-editing rules?

I never really replied to this, so let me commend you now for running the game in an impeccable manner. The only thing of note was that you were a little bit late to close the voting on a couple of occasions, but that is of course understandable in a game that lasts so long. (Yet another feature that could be incorporated into an automated WW tally system.)

I think the rules worked out quite nicely, but in the future I would allow edits for spelling/grammar/formatting within 10 minutes of posting. I think we can trust people to not abuse that; the main danger of editing IMO would be wolves going back to remove incriminating evidence several days after the fact, when nobody is likely to notice the change. The last edited timestamps will prevent that.

In short, I really enjoyed the game. Playing as a wolf was both challenging and fun. As an aside, it's a bit ironic that the main source of hard feelings that we have seen so far in these games tends to be villager in-fighting. Hell hath no fury like a wrongly accused villager, or something like that...

I tried to kill you so many times Zak. No one wanted to lynch you
Felt like I was pulling teeth...

Yeah this was pretty funny... all in all, I think the interactions between me and Scooter worked out pretty well, though perhaps more by accident than by design. Figuring out how to interact with the other wolves, and how much suspicion to cast their way, was a delicate thing to balance and a fun part of the game for me. I also tried to maintain a list of imaginary "fellow wolves" to drag down with me, though I could have done a better job on that. If I did get lynched, my advice to the other wolves was to go after Jkaen next, as I had been trying (and perhaps failing miserably) to set him up to look like an accomplice of mine after my death.

I know I really shouldn't, due to the time sink, but right now I think I would find it very hard to resist signing up for another game.

Well you did manage to link yourself to him, since I thought you were the masons, before the truth was revealed . Still I doubt I would have gone for Jkaen after lynching you, but it's hard to say for sure of course.

[MJW (ya that one)]

I would say I will host but I know no-one would join my game. Everyone is welcome to prove me wrong though.

I feel the same. It would have to be after easter though. Maybe Uberfish has something planned?

[Meiz]

I'm all for the simpler xcom version he had in mind. Maybe even with anonymoys accounts as Bob suggested? . Super special power FFH themed game is probably too much for me though...

Well, we could do a small game with less people for those who are interested. Its not like we have to make it a big time sink. Even with 10 or fewer players we could have a quick enjoyable game that could last until May when a larger game could be put together.
