It may be worth waiting until late September or early October to let those just starting school in the near future have a chance to get settled in.

The way I see it is the more delays in a restart the less likely it will ever start.

I would love to play except i'm busy these days and really have no time for. I liked the experience, even though it was rough for me sometimes. Like I said I have no time for it now.

Liq, you sure you don't want some help running it, with more different kinds of roles?

Any and all question before the new werewolf game should be asked here. New roles, interactions, anything!
I really would like 19 players for this but will play with 17.

*The Mole- Team Werewolf
The Mole isn't actually a Werewolf, but is fascinated by the Myth of the Greater Werewolf. His main job is to try and just cause confusion. He has no special roles and does not know who the Werewolves are. He can be seen and revealed as The Mole. Werewolves can still kill him. If the Mole is alive at the end of the game, he wins it.

??? - So is it a dual win condition? Say if the wolves or cits win, both the mole (if still alive) and the winning team win...or does he win by himself?

If he is alive at the end of the game, he wins. Technically he is not a "run of the mill villager" and secretly roots for the Werewolves (who could care less about him) and should try to lead villagers astray thinking he is going to please The Greater Werewolf. If he is alive...He wins.

I have some questions about the new format.

Village Elder

1. Does the village elder HAVE to check someone every night?

2. Once the village elder gets an answer to his or her question, he must reveal (and then immediately die). Even if the answer is NO?

3. Can there be more than one village elder?

As described in the rules post it sounds like all Village Elders die at the beginning of R2D if the wolves don't snuff them out R1N. Is this correct?

Seer:

1. The rules now say that the seer can determine the role of a townperson (as opposed to finding out what team they are on), so does this mean the seer can now identify village elders, angels, moles, hunters, and masons?

2. When the seer checks the wolf leader, what exactly is he told? "Vanilla cit"? Or might he be given other misleading answers like "village elder" or "mason"?

Hunter

1. What happens when the hunter chooses someone who is not a WW? Is he just told "not a WW" or does he actually kill the target?

2. Can the intervention of the angel protect a target from the hunter?

3. Assuming the hunter can kill cits, will the town be able to differentiate between hunter kills and wolf kills?

4. What happens if the hunter correctly targets a wolf when he himself is the wolves target that night?

Mole

1. Am I right in understanding that victory goes to the mole if is alive at game end regardless of all other game conditions? (i.e. what would otherwise be a wolf victory or a cit victory is awarded to the mole if he is alive?)

2. The mole is listed as being on "team werewolf" even though he seems to have his own victory conditions. Is a mole victory considered a WW victory?

General:

1. It appears we have done away with the restrictions on declaring roles. Is this correct?

2. No secret ballot voting appears to be allowed (no more PM's.) Is this correct?

Sorry if these are dumb questions, I just want to be clear on the rules before the game gets rolling.

1. Yes. He will only be given a yes or no answer. There won't be a "Seer" or "villager" response.

2. No, he only dies when he learns the identity of the Greater Werewolf.

3. There will only be 1 Village Elder per game.

1. The will learn if the person is a villager or Werewolf (except for the Greater Werewolf which is explained in the rules). No roles will be revealed.

2. The Seer will get the answer "villager" if the Greater Werewolf is chosen.

1. The player chosen by the Hunter dies. His identity will be revealed. If he chooses a WW with the 1st try, he is awarded an extra try. If he is ever wrong (ie kills a villager) no extra try is awarded.

2. No.

3. Yes, I will reveal what happened and how.

4. They will both die, and all roles will be revealed.

The Mole is out for himself, but longs to be accepted by the Greater Werewolf.

1. Yes, anyone can claim anything at any time.

2. All votes are to be placed on the thread using the voting tag - {Vote: Suspect}

No worries PD and welcome back!

What will the seer get if he sees The Mole? The Angel? The Hunter? Just "villager"? Or will he get the exact role?

The way you have the hunter's description phrased is a bit confusing.. If he gets a ww on the first try, he gets a third try. What if he's wrong on the second try? Does the third try get taken away?

Thanks,
Jazaray

He will get "villager" response. The mole is anti-villager, but they don't know that. He craves acceptance of the Werewolves.

I've re-worded the Hunter. If he is right the 1st time and nabs a WW, his reward is and extra shot. These can not be taken away. It is a limited tool and by making the first one worthy, they may not be loose with it.

~MM

Edit: The Mole can be seen. Typo..

What about the angel, hunter ..etc? Does he get an actual role, or just villager? (NVM, I see that your answer was actually to all of them, not just to The Mole)

Either way, the seer roles sucks as we can't even trust him now. So, might as well not even have it.

Thanks,
Jazaray

I'm afraid that it's no different from having a Mafia ninja as a possibility. Besides, the elder helps a little bit and the seer can still get two out of the three of them.

In addition to that, I'm thinking that the villagers don't have to immediately lynch the greater werewolf if the elder finds him/her. The seer can still see at 100% efficiency that way.

He will get the seer response for all of those roles. I just went on to describe more about the Mole.

The seer still is helpful, just with a little twist is all. The only WW he can't see is the Greater Werewolf.

More times than not, he'll bag a WW or a villager or 2 and still be able to share. If the Village Elder is still alive and wants to check in on the seer's confirmed, nothing stops him from doing that.

I agree that under the current rules the village elder and the seer appear to be fairly useless, but let's try it out and see what happens. Maybe it will be better than we thought. It's a serious blow to the seer's power that he will now misidentify ww's as cits just because they are the wolf leader, and therefore any "cit" read from the seer isn't anywhere near as useful as it used to be.

It also seems to me the hunter is nothing but a liability that will most likely push the wolves closer to victory. If I get the hunter role, I will not be taking any night actions unless the seer comes out and reveals two wolves. Other than that I think the hunter is simply a loose cannon.

Actually, it's totally different. The cop still sees the team of the Ninja. I just changed it for my game because about... 1/2 way through I realized that it didn't say that but I had been telling MM it worked that way.

He can't see the Greater Werewolf, or the Mole, so we won't be able to count on anyone seen by the seer as a villager as a confirmed cit. Just sayin'

Yes, The Hunter is supposed to be a loose cannon. That's his appeal.
The Seer and the Village Elder give the villagers in essence, 2 seer's.
The Village Elder isn't as powerful as he can only see the Greater Werewolf, while the seer can only, truly have 1 guess be "hidden" from him. 1/19 or in this case 1/18 is not a terrible thing.

Can the Elder come out (if it looks like he's gonna be lynched or whatnot) and say that XX, BB and QQ are NOT the GW?

Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up!

Wait...the seer can't see the mole as the mole? I thought the rules said that he could be identified as his role?
