Millky95 How on earth could this be managed across the umpteen Boards and threads on BF?

Screenshot and post links made in the game thread and tagging me. I check, confirm, kill said player

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

WOW... Would take obsessional folk to new levels. Nowadays I only post in WW games, SFA nonsense, Bloods Board, sporadically on the Main Board and of course the Cult of Robbo thread. There are miles more prolific posters with broad tastes than me. I reckon catching me out would be tough, but others?

But there would be a minimum post requirement per day in the game thread to keep some focus.

If its too complex i am happy to have it just in the game thread but a higher minimum post

Anyone running the next game? I have a Parks & Rec themed one that could be fun.

Office UK vs Office US werewolf

thoughts?

Should Werewolf have it's own board somewhere on BF?

Discuss?

Arguably, yes. It’s one of the things that is promoted to do. The question is, is it a free for all ie you can have multiple games at once and anyone can mod, or will one/two people control when the games are with controlled modders?

I quite like ‘SFA’ werewolf but if there is enough demand there can certainly be separate games like the song contest has.

From what I have seen in other forums that do have a Mafia board:
- You have to submit your game to the board mods before posting to ensure balance and you are actually serious about modding
- Only one game active at one time
- Sign ups for the second game can be open a few days into the current active game (I think it's when half the players are head?)
- Mods keep a "you're up next list" and PM the host when they are allowed to post the next game's sign ups

Great structure, I guess thats an extra layer of admin that currently exists. If there are a group of willing formal mods, great idea!

Games like the current one EskimoPAFC is hosting would be submitted by PM to a mod for approval to keep the secrecy of roles hidden with the knowledge that the mod that got PM'd wouldn't be allowed to play

Would support the idea for a Werewolf board, this would invite more and different players. I remember the Richmond board ran games and I ran a crossover game between the SFA and Richmond boards, but I don't know if they still run games.
My only concern is that "The Club Room" sub-board would then become almost inactive without Werewolf.

The idea of a groups of admins to oversee werewolf games was floated around in the early days, but nothing every eventuated from the discussions and we couldn't settle on a group.

Not really. The Club Room has a purpose with or without Werewolf. It'll be fine.

Idea for chess werewolf

Everyone represents a piece on an actual board. 4 factions, white and black good and evil. You win by winning on the board and rooting out evil in your team.

From an internet search this has been tried before but the ‘playing a chess game’ was overplayed and so people lost interest. Plus the mod made the roles secret which put people who already didn’t know how to play chess off.

I’ve never modded before so this is a medium term idea while I revamp gameplay.

If such a BF wide board was made, the admins would just pick the best mods with WW hosting experience for the gig and it would be ran like every other board from there

Best advice to modding for the first time is to co-mod with someone and see how they do it and start with a simple more classic game with a bit of theming .

 

[ClarkeM]

I'm going to get my Werewolf thread up now.

I think I will be looking for a co-mod now (preferably one that has some knowledge of Age of Empires)

 

[ClarkeM]

Happy for you to see how I mod Chipmunk actually - sorry.

Yes. I'm surprised its not on the games board TBH.

 

[ClarkeM]

New game is now live. Taking registrations:

It’s very easy to make chess werewolf with pieces representing the traditional roles, so I’ll start with that then. In a long time!

Oh I’m happy with that! Just thinking very far in the future
