I would host. I've played 5 or so games. However, I haven't played as a wolf. I've only played as an innocent and sneak so far.

I've got an idea in mind, but I just don't feel I am quite qualified yet. Therefore, if no one wants to host, I will, but if someone else could do it then I will sit back and play a few more games.

You have my support to have a go, particularly if nobody else wants to host - if that happens I think your choice to wait a few more game might be a good one.

I'll emphasize speaking to as many people as possible about how to lay evidence and such, as there are many different styles and that is often usually almost always the most difficult aspect to get right.

I'm open to hosting maybe in like a week or two. My holidays start then, I think. But not right now - I have too much going on at the moment.

When I hosted my first time, I'd only ever been the angel and sneak (one time each).

Read the guide to hosting on the DL.

Finally, you lazy ass.

I think it's about time that I gave hosting another shot myself... I admit, the Hunted left quite an impression on me, and I'm eager to delve back into the... unique experience that is hosting. Hopefully this time around, I can do a bit better with the evidence balance...

Regardless. I'm writing up the ruleset for you all to inspect as we speak. Just wanted to toss my name out into the ring so that you all didn't go out ahead of me.

Go for it.

And, ruleset!




Introduction


Good evening. Welcome to Werewolf: The Hunger. I am Webster, your host. The last game played on the forums was Werewolf: Black Death, but no one cares about that.

Werewolf is a murder mystery where your objective is to kill the other team. The 2 teams, werewolves and innocents, have different ways to achieve this objective.

Every day lasts for 22 hours from 5 pm CST to 3 pm CST. Each night the arch-wolf will PM me a target to kill. I will use the wolves’ profiles to leave evidence against them on the write-up and it will be the innocent’s job to hunt them down and execute them. During the day it is the wolves’ job to mislead the innocents and stay alive for as long as possible. Everyone has one execution vote. In order to find more evidence the innocents can search 2 locations a night. Everyone has one search vote. Everyone can freely PM, through me each day. Anyone can claim to have whatever role they like.

To assist the innocents there are various roles:

Angel – Each day the angel(s) will pick 1 target to protect. If the wolves choose to attack the same target, the angel will block the kill. On a conversion night, however, the Angels are relatively helpless: However they will get extra evidence should they protect a wolf or the convert during said night. They may even get hints if they do so the nights before…

Matchmaker – Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match. The Matchmaker, through mysterious magics that allow him to affect people’s hearts and minds, is able to bond together two people in the carnal, spiritual, and emotional bliss that is love every three days. Of course, trust is always key in any relationship, and in this one, the pair trust each other with their lives. They are aware of each other’s role in the conflict, as well as have their fates linked: When one dies, so does the other. If one turns to evil… The other will sacrifice their innocence for their beloved and turn as well. Communication is also key, therefore they can PM each other freely.

Sneak – The Sneak is a master of investigation: Every night, the Sneak can search a player of his/her choice. Upon searching, the Sneak will get a PM with extra evidence that will hint towards the player in question’s role. The Sneak, however, is not foolproof: They may interpret the evidence that they are given as they see fit. Whether it is right or wrong… is in the eye of the beholder.

On top of these, there are 2 evil roles: The Wolf, and the Arch-Wolf. The Arch-Wolf alone commands a pack: The Wolves all serve the Arch-Wolf, their lord and master. At his behest, the Wolves maul the Innocents each night, claiming life after life, unless stopped. (In other words, the Arch-Wolf selects the targets and the Wolves kill them.)

There is also one secret role in the works… What is this role? Well, it’s up to you to find out.

Setting

The year is 1887. Austria-Hungary at this time is a booming nation, experiencing a period of massive growth. New towns are springing up all over the map. One such town, located just North of the city of Bekes, is named Csad. This town, located near a powerful military fort, is quickly becoming a strong, thriving city. For now, it is still in the status of a village… But the military presence is already whipping it into an industrial powerhouse.

Until all contact is lost. The military forces stationed at the fort quarantine the village suddenly, under the command of a mysterious new commander. Unknown to the rest of the world, the village has become the site of a terrible massacre. Dark, ancient magic hums in the air, and blood flows in the streets. Will the inhabitants survive this terrible occurrence…?

What do you think?

I think whoever wrote that sign up is a genius


Seriously, I think it looks good and I'm happy for you to host. You have my blessing to continue

Edit: Put the setting section in front of the joining section. I had a few people with profiles not suitable for my setting.

Well you're no Fighters... thank God.

I like it.

It's cool with me, man. Go for it.

Are you going to specify the number of angels?

It depends on the amount of players I get. I'll specify once the game begins.

Looks good Webster. I'll join. How soon do you think sign-ups will start?

I'll put it up when I get up around 8 AM CST tomorrow. Give everyone time to chime in.

Okay, sounds good.

Told ya I wasn't no damned wolf. Well I guess I will be off to haunt some old manor in Anvil... what?

Good. An American host.

I may be able to play this time and be more active.

I followed this game towards the end, and it looks fairly interesting. I'll probably try joining the next game. Hopefully I don't svck .

Welcome! We're happy to have new people to try to backstab and kill!

When are you planning om starting this game? I'm going to be gone all saturday and Sunday, is this ok?

I would be willing to bless the game with my presence.

However tomorrow morning I'm leaving to go camping for two night.I'll certainly be able to participate in the actually game, but does anybody have any concerns if I submit my interest to play (sign-up) here instead of in the signup thread? If not, I'll make a profile tonight.

Sign-up is up. Run, run as fast as you can... But no matter how fast you run, you won't escape your fates... :chaos:

Nobody escapes me.

Oh, and I'm just posting this here: I should be able to host after Webster, if no one has any objections.
