It's the '10s and it's time for KLAX... err I mean WOLF

**ZedIsDead** · 12-05-2011, 03:11 PM

In all seriousness, it's been a long time since we held a WOLF game here at RU, and there's a lot of active forum members here who have never participated in one. They can be a lot of fun as long as everybody who signs up participates.

Here's an example:

Would you guys be interested?

**Mareeps** · 12-05-2011, 03:46 PM

I'm interested, but everytime someone tries to get one start up, it never goes anywhere.

**ZedIsDead** · 12-05-2011, 03:49 PM

It's been a long time since we last attempted to start one, though.

Here's another example(this one is my WOLF game):
http://retrouprising.com/other/forum...lf-game/t1865/

I think that's the only other successful WOLF game, and that was over three years ago.

**Tails** · 12-05-2011, 03:53 PM

Think Wolfman tried to start one and it died out about 6+ months ago.

**jim5cents** · 12-05-2011, 04:00 PM

I'm in.

**DrunkN** · 12-05-2011, 04:04 PM

I'm in.

**ZedIsDead** · 12-05-2011, 04:16 PM

Also, there's the question of finding a host. Honestly, I'd prefer to play.

**CrispyChicken** · 12-05-2011, 04:23 PM

I'd be tempted to give it a go.

You two ought to have clear confirmations that you're in, so more people are tempted to join in excitedly.

**CrispyChicken** · 12-05-2011, 04:26 PM

I want to join, not exactly sure how to play though.

Sure, that sounds good. I'm definitely in.

@ChrisP: It's pretty easy to play. I'll go find the rules in a sec.

**Mareeps** · 12-05-2011, 04:46 PM

Well, I'm in it. I'd like to give this a shot.

**sabby** · 12-05-2011, 04:55 PM

If we start this after the holidays, I would be inclined to host.

**joz** · 12-05-2011, 04:57 PM

I enjoy these games. Count me in.

**Demon-Mask** · 12-05-2011, 05:18 PM

I'm in.
Don't get too excited, plenty of people signed up last time, but it never went anywhere.
If this works, I'm definitely in.

**ZedIsDead** · 12-05-2011, 05:19 PM

Well it appears the rules I was looking for are now gone. Here's the gist of it:

Number of Players: 8-16, plus the host

The host is responsible for writing the story, keeping track of votes and notifying players of their roles. The host assigns roles to players prior to the start of the game. The host may assign personalities and/or motivations to each player, or he/she could opt to let the players decide that for themselves(this is the preferred method).

Roles:

Human: The objective of the humans is to eliminate all the wolves before they are all killed. The only method they have to dispose of suspected wolves is a vote held a few days after each wolf kill.

Wolf: Every few days, at the beginning of the game and after every vote, the wolves select one player to kill. Their choice is sent via PM to the host.

Hunter: The hunter is the same as a normal human, but can choose one player to identify each cycle. This is conveyed through PM to the host, who will reveal the role of the chosen player.

Notes:

Obviously, WOLF has quite a bit of role-play involved, so you'll be expected to stay in character. Out-of-character comments should be prefaced by OOC.

In a standard game of WOLF, roles are revealed after the character's death. In hidden corpse, roles are kept secret, making the hunter immensely important.

Players can talk to each other both within the thread and through PMs.

That's all I can think of at the moment, I'm sure I missed something.

**CrispyChicken** · 12-05-2011, 07:19 PM

Sounds easy enough.

**DrunkN** · 12-05-2011, 09:23 PM

We have six people so far, but it is preferable that we at least have eight.

Confirmed people so far are as follows:

( Click to show/hide )

I'm thinking that the starting date should be January 5th, any opposed? (opinion on a date is critical, please put your two cents in)

@ChrisP: There is also the role of oracle, which is basically the hunter without the ability to kill people. Though very rarely used, players traditionally have the ability to PM the host that they are "gaurding" someone, which will allow them to die in the place of another should the guarded character be elected as the next wolf target.

**CrispyChicken** · 12-05-2011, 09:29 PM

January 5th would be a pretty good time. How long do these games last?

Two to three and a half months would be the theoretically expected length, but there are quite a few variables.

**Dudebro** · 12-05-2011, 10:02 PM

I've never played one of these but I'll try it if it does get started.

Then we are up to seven.

**Demon-Mask** · 12-05-2011, 11:02 PM

I agree that 05 January would be a good starting point.

**Kong** · 12-06-2011, 12:13 AM

Previous problems getting this started was a lack of volunteers for hosting. Since several people said they would be willing to host I imagine there will not be a problem this time.

Your new avatar is in my mind as I read this. Perhaps you were wondering whether or not you should join in, eh?
