a quick WW poll

[Azza]

I won't send it to you just yet, in case you have a change of heart and sign up.

[Bigger]

I can't, just too busy. But send me the setup, I'll see if I can break it . I'll enjoy lurking I think

So who wants to host?

[BRickAstley]

If it's needed, I'm back enough to run one of those medium or small player-set setups. I won't be able to do long writeups most likely, but I could get it up and running in short order.

[thestick]

id like to host, i have a setup with a few 'weird' ideas i had rolling around. plus flavor writeups sound fun. caveats are the usual 'need balance check' and a 0300 gmt deadline.

[BRickAstley]

Well with baby I'm not at a point where i can put in as much time/analysis as i want, so feel free to PM/email me anything you want looked over thestick

[Qgqqqqq]

Been thinking a bit about werewolf setups, what would a game work if every player had one shot NK immunity and one shot vig power. Obviously this would be different for scam and would need balancing, but I'm wondering it would change the balance?
Im pretty sure there'd be a strong village boost for the late game, but also the scum ability to distract vig shots in the early game and slam the village in the late would tend to balance this a little.



On an unrelated note, what are the arguments against a majority lynch?
Or a clear majority if votes were in the last few hours?

[zakalwe]

The game pace will be too slow without the pressure of a deadline.

Players must actually pay more attention to the game because they could get lynched "at any time".

It empowers scum too much because they can quickly drop the hammer to secure a mislynch.

Those are the ones I can recall. I disagree with the last two, and the first one can be mitigated by imposing a deadline on top of the majority lynch system.

General question:

I've noticed a decline in amount of players over the last few games, and even with thestick's game; I'm kinda curious, why is that? WW burnout? Busier IRL? uber isn't hosting? want smaller games? other reasons?

[Bigger]

probably just a combination of all of those. I doubt I'll play again until pb8 finishes (or when Lewwyn takes over the turns again, maybe).

the games get bigger and smaller generally anyway.. they'll be another big one soon enough. An experienced host (not just uber, although his are clearly the best) helps too.
