View Full Version : Interdorm Competition 1: Werewolves!

One of the first new interdorm challenges will be this game, Werewolf’s, and We need as many people as possible to play!

The rules can seem complicated, takeing them in all at once, but you only really have to know your part to play in the game :) - So we want as many people from the Dorm signing up. If you don't get it sign up anyway and I can explain anything.

The rules have been slightly modified to accommodate to play between the houses. Such as once everyone who wants to play has signed up (By posting below) I will PM 8 of you and tell you, you are Wolfs, but you will also be told which house you are representing, in order to stop one house from killing one entire house just to find that houses wolfs. So any member could be representing another house (Which means someone in Drogyn could be Merricks wolf)

Four other people will also be PM’d and told they are a Seer, and as with the wolves you will be told which house you represent.

Those not PM’d will be Villagers.

Details on Jobs:

Villager: You are a normal person, you don't have the power to discover who a werewolf is, but everyday you will put one name forward for who you believe to be a wolf, then the member with the most votes as a wolf is Lynched and their status revealed. Voting will stay open for 3 days and can change your vote.

Seer: You do have the ability to guess who a werewolf is, You listen to the villagers talk about who they think it is, then PM me with who you think the werewolf is ( I would suggest waiting for the first day to see who is the most popular to be a wolf then PM me on the second day and I will give you your requested information, and then you have the third day to convince people who the wolf is).

When you PM me I will tell you what status that person is in the game, and if you are correct you must persuade the villagers to kill that person, but you have to do it without bringing to much attention to who you are, if the Werewolf fingers you out then they can kill you come nightfall - and the house you represent loose their greatest asset.

Seers can only ask for info once every 24 hours, and only during the time the villagers are deciding who to kill.
Seers can PM the people in their representative dorm to tell them who to vote for. But have to be careful not to PM a wolf from another house

The seer can only request information about a member once during the games day

Werewolf: You will take part in the villager meeting and try and stop them from killing you, once the villagers have killed the person they think is a wolf, all wolfs must PM me with who they wish to kill.

The werewolves will be told who the other 7 werewolves are, but not which house they represent. In order to successfully kill a villager two or more wolves must have voted for the same person. So you can PM people and try and persuade them to kill a certain member. Werewolves have 48 hours to get their vote to me or else they forfeit their vote for that round.

If it comes down to a tie situation, such as 3 wolves have voted for one member, and 3 others have voted for another, The remaining wolves will be told the names of the two possible victims and asked to vote for one. If it comes to a 50/50 tie the victim will be selected at random from the possible two.

If the two representing wolves from the same house are killed that team looses, and must wait till the next round before playing again.



Turns

Day
Day time lasts 3 actual days (72 hours)

Once the Wolves have decoded who to kill from the night before, I will announce it in the game thread.

Then Villagers meet in the town and try to discuss who the werewolf is. By putting a name forward, if they put a correct name forward, the wolf should try and push the suggestions away from him.

The Seer (Who will know who certain members are when they ask the night before) will try and suggest who the wolf is, if they have discovered the identity of the wolf.

By the end of Daylight (3 days) whoever has the most votes will be lynched by the mob, and their status revealed.

Night
Night can last up to 2 days (48 hours)

Once I announce who was killed by the mob the wolves can start choosing who to kill.

And the Wolves will PM each other and try to convince them who to vote for. As soon as you know who you are voting for The 8 of you PM me and whichever member has the most voted, dies! This period can last up to 48 hours, but if I have received the victim and given the seer the info, I can end the night period early!

Winning/Loosing

If the two wolves from any house are killed, that house looses.

The winner is decided by whichever is the last wolf(or two) standing. Example: If Vahla Ha'nesh’s wolf is the last one standing, Vahla Ha'nesh win the game.

Notes:

1) Everyone can enter, the only person not eligible to play is me. So Mods included.
2) To play you must be a member of a house, if you are not a member of a dorm, but want to play, check out the sorting tome. (http://www.buffy-boards.com/showthread.php?t=18277)
3) Cheating is not acceptable, anyone caught cheating can loose points from their dorm!
4) This is the sign up sheet, if you wish to play or have any questions just say so below!

Points
The winner of the game earns 200 points for their representitie Dorm and 100 for their actual dorm.

im in! :bounce: im excited!

and i mostly get it, but (this sounds sort of like a stupid question, but...) if the villagers all vote to kill someone, and the person they vote for is a villager and not a werewolf, does he or she still die? and so they are out of the game then?

Well really it would be every 5 days, cuz the villagers will discuss who to kill for 3 days, then the wolves will have 2 days to discuss who to kill, then it's back to the Villagers :)

im in! :bounce: im excited!

and i mostly get it, but (this sounds sort of like a stupid question, but...) if the villagers all vote to kill someone, and the person they vote for is a villager and not a werewolf, does he or she still die? and so they are out of the game then?

Yes exactly :) So if people start suspecting you, you should try and convince them it's not you, or else you will be killed, lol.

Edmund Blackadder

OK, say i'm a member of a House BUT the House I represent in this game is a different House.......who gets the points if i'm on the winning team?

Black Eye Guy
10-16-2006, 07:48 PM
The house you are representing, If you are a character that is representing anouther house you are effectivly playing for that house.

And their's no point in throwing the game because there is another member plaing for that house, and another two playing for your house. So if your seen as purposly throwing the game, they can do the same. And I can keep a check on everything :)

Edmund Blackadder
10-16-2006, 07:53 PM
See, now thats where my problem is. I mean you don't go to the Olympics as an England Representative and try to get Russia a Gold.

Had I know that my participation in this game effectively made me HAVE to gather points for another House in a Competition devised for a game to make your own house win, then i'm honestly not sure I would have joined......i'm sorry.
The game confused me enough before this revelation, now i'm working for a rival....doesn't seem right to me.

Black Eye Guy
10-16-2006, 08:04 PM
Well all this info was in the original post, but It was also the only fair way to do it. Like if the Wolfs for Drogyn were all in Drogyn, then all Merrick would have to do would be to kill all members of Drogyn and they would get the wolves, this was the only fair way to do it.

The only other option was to have the winner be the last surviving Villager, but because of the different numbers we got from each Dorm it wouldn't really have worked.

And it all evens out, you are competing for someone else’s house, but someone else is doing the same and competing on behalf of your half!

Edmund Blackadder
10-16-2006, 08:12 PM
Its not really a matter of it evening out.
The principle is flawed for the purposes of the House Cup.
Fact is, I know that others are participating for my House, but I have to ask...why should I make any effort really, or any of us, if we aren't representing our own House.
I know its a game, I know there are differences in House numbers particpating and generally speaking it would be fun.....but why should I go out of my way to help another House.

Black Eye Guy
10-16-2006, 08:17 PM
Because someone else will be doing the same.

It would have been impossible to play it the other way, cuz of the numbers like I got 4 entries from Vahla Ha'nesh and 7 from Merrick, so VH wouldn't stand a chance!

Edmund Blackadder
10-16-2006, 08:23 PM
I get that there are numerical differences and all, and I promise you I don't mean to belittle the game itself or your idea.
I just don't feel any urgency to play this anymore because I don't win any points for my own House.
What if there was some way to reward both.
At the very least if you are representing a different House to your own your own House gets Half the amount of points.
For Example I Would win 400 Points for the House I represent and 200 for the House i'm from?
If you win for your House and you Represent your House, you win 600 points?


EDIT: Numbers would be 200 - 100 - 300

Black Eye Guy
10-16-2006, 08:29 PM
Yeah actually that would make things allot easier, make more sense aswell!

I'll change it to that then, and I chose the people at random so it is possible to get both and get up to 300 points!

zombie.apparatus
10-17-2006, 02:18 AM
ok so you now get points for the house you are in and the house you are representing?

Black Eye Guy
10-17-2006, 03:19 AM
Yes, but only if you are a wolf character, you get 200 points for the house you are representing and 100 for your actual house!

arabella
10-17-2006, 04:28 PM
only if the wolves are not fairly divided though, right?

Black Eye Guy
10-17-2006, 05:07 PM
Yeah there's 2 wolfs representing each house, so it's all even. Which is why we had to do it as representivitives, like i we had done it on No., Vahla Ha'nesh had 4 people enter, two of them had to be Wolfs and a third a seer which leaves one Villager so the house would have been slaughtered!

SpikedBuffy
10-17-2006, 05:11 PM
I'm still very confused right now! But, I think after playing it once, it'll start to click!

Spirit_Of_Fred
10-17-2006, 08:03 PM
wait, when we start, will there be a thread specifically for the conversations of the villagers etc? and will that be this thread?

SpikedBuffy
10-17-2006, 08:26 PM
The official thread is in Slaying Practice!

yeah, great job to BEG and anyone involved in all this stuff! :cheers: (cant find those champagne clinking dudes! guess you'll have to settle for the beer clinking dudes...) there have been brilliant new ideas around the boards lately! :D

Ladybug
10-19-2006, 06:39 PM
Beer is just as good as champagne, SOF. Plus, I don't think us villagers would drink champagne. -shrug- To the local tavern!

Edit:Spirit_Of_Fred agrees: champagne seems more for fancier celebrations to me, does it not?

Sure, but this is like, A.D.... I think... did they have champagne in A.D.?

Black Eye Guy

I'm going to amend the rules a little(for a second time), as people have wished to stop playing and turned out to be wolves that is not fair to the houses they represented so...

It started out as the finale wolf would get 300 points for the house they represent, Then it was changed to 300 for the house you represent and 150 for your house.

Now as the game takes a good bit of commitment and time, It will be 500 points to the house your representing and 400 for your actual house!

sounds fair BEG.. i only pulled out cos more than half werent posting! it was jsut the same people posting.. which i thought wasnt fair.... but goodluck to all those still in the game!

I think that is good, more fair.
