WWW42- Wild West Werewolvin

Not much to say at this point except showing off my new signature.

Reflect on the blatant wolfiness of my opening, perhaps?

None

So were you pleased to get a wolf role this time, then?

I'm always pleased when I start a WW game

I forgot to mention my SK game from WW 38 (which was an awesome game all around BTW).

Ah, the joy of being an SK. All the fun of killing people, without the need to give a damn about teammates, meaning you can scumhunt like a townie. Best role of all, imo.

I'd say the wolfiness of your opening is dependent on how you continue playing the game. But I suppose you could elaborate on why you appear to be a more restless Winston in this game than in your previous game with us.

Now just a metagame thought. The "flavor" part of this game is the items we get each night. While I don't think we should mass claim them they could be a good pressure point if someone acts strangely.

An excellent idea. Jabbz will approve, I'm sure.

How exactly do we think Commodore has come up with the items in play? I don't see them listed anywhere, do we think he just lifted them from the card game? How does the card game work, anyway? (I need to prepare my fake claim.)

AdrienIer seems to be the only one on the first page without a vote. Spread the love, people!

I'm a werewolf.

I'll change my signature shortly. I wonder if item assignment is purely random dealing from the standard deck with roles assigned to each. If it is, I'll love Commodore forever, but I doubt it is for game balance purposes.

Quick thought that without a list with what each card does we should avoid indicating knowledge of what, say, a Mancato does lest the Outlaws work it out.

Elaborate? I feel a list coming on...

1) Five years is a long time.

2) I'm much better at expressing myself in a written form than I used to be, meaning I don't take so long over each post.

3) I've played quite a lot of mafia in the meantime, across several different forums, so I guess I'm more confident now.

4) I've been following the mafia championships pretty closely, and something of the insane post rate there has rubbed off on me.

5) I've been jonesing for a game with a decent level of activity for some time now, a sensation which only grew stronger after this one at the org in which the host's wonderful efforts were let down by the weak contributions of most of the players.

6) The missus is watching TV, all of my video game platforms are >10 years old, and I don't have a decent novel on the go right now.

7) Being scum, I'm concerned that I'll get lynched for low posting like I was in two of my previous games here.

In the card game there are cards dealt to each player that they use on their turns. The most obvious is Bang! which takes a life from a player, and can be blocked with a Mancato (miss) card.

It's a lot like mafia in that the role of players I hidden, and a lot of the skill comes in looking at player actions and determining their roles from them (as each faction has certain goals).

Great game.

Items for night 0 sent out; please note the first time to use them will be night 1, and you'll be receiving the next item draw at the end of night 1, etc.

Sounds like we'll be getting new items every night. And both items and alignments are randomly assigned. So in terms of balance, that means we probably have 2/1/8?
