Rip someone edited my message for me..
"someone"
I've got a game, though it's basically like a vanilla game, except it's themed and has a special role
TWG XCVI: Gotta Wolf Fast
Okay, so it's basic TWG but it's Sonic themed! With a special modifier!
Wolfs:
Eggman - The basic baddie decided to go in disguise to catch that meddling Hedgehog. This is a wolf role that is seeded green. nothing too special here except he has a unique message that appears if he's the one who sends the wolfing decision
Infinite - The cool edge lord that every 9 year old dreams of. Also wants Sonic and pals dead. Basic wolf role, but also has a unique message when he is the one of the two wolves that sends the wolf pm
Humans:
Note: Everyone but Amy and Sally is told they're a regular human at the start of the game. This is to prevent roll calls and other things
Sonic- You're too slow! Basic human role
Tails- I'll do my best! Basic human role
Amy- LOVE ME, SONIC!! The special role of the game, goes into a rage if Sonic is the one who's wolfed or lynched. This allows them to reveal the role of one player of their choosing.
Big the Cat- Fwoggy... basic human role, only because I don't want to give big the honor of having a special role.
Knuckles- Tougher than the rest of them. The Miller of the game. If Amy seers him, he will appear red, which probably won't be good.
Silver- IT'S NO USE!! A basic human role
Sally Acorn- #ripsoniccomics. has a single revive ability that can only be used once in the game.
No cardflips? Maybe?
I can add more characters if needed as well
Wait... does everybody know who they are, or just the specials (Amy and Sally, and indirectly Sonic, since Sally can technically just claim to him right off the bat)? Regardless, for the reasoning I mentioned in parentheses, this doesn't seem like a very balanced setup.

Sally can't claim to sonic, because she can't tell anyone who sonic is (at least, that's how I interpreted it). Humans are only allowed a single mislynch (just like last game), and specials cannot be protected, meaning that if the wolves never hit a special, humans still aren't guaranteed victory. I actually find Brainy's game more balanced than last game.
We would still need more players for this game to work
I want to host my game from last signups

Remind us of it, cuz scrolling back to a new topic is hard, ribbit
I'm lazy and on mobile, a deadly combination
It's Minnesota state fair themed (and it keeps kids out of school until after labor day, thank goodness)
Oh yeah the control freak thingy with the Mocha power up. I was going to do something like that with my game, but make it a chaos emerald but decided against it

She doesn't have to tell anybody who Sonic is; she just has to tell Sonic her identity. There's nothing stopping her from doing that, as long as she has the ability to send any PMs. Plus, like I mentioned, if every human role knows who they are (there's nothing mentioning that they're only told they're normal humans), that's obviously bad for the wolves.

See, everyone knowing who they are is one reason why I'm debating whether or not I should add card flips to the game, though, I could just forbid claiming to make the game more balanced. That way Sally can't form a team with sonic, and people can't just roll call and immediately bust the wolves out.

I like how the two things you remember are control freak and mocha

To prevent claiming, you'd likely have to ban all forms of private communication (except for wolves), which might get messy or hurt activity (I did something similar once, though it was restricted to a single role, who was announced to the public at the beginning of the game). It would probably be more balanced of you had everybody but Amy be told they're a normal human, as is standard, but have Sally's identity revealed to herself if Sonic dies... or something like that.
Or you could do a Maestro and add a role who causes both sides to lose if they're killed. That would be interesting, I guess.
Yeah! That works out perfectly!
Or...I could change Sally's role to be that of a reviver. Allowing her to revive only one person throughout the game.
Banning out of thread contact would theoretically have no impact on activity, it's only if people complain about the rule and refuse to be active in the thread
You should still have the same amount of activity regardless
Well, because people can't talk to each other privately, that means people might be a lot more cautious about what they say, thus generating less discussion (i.e. people can't generate public conversation around things they first talked about privately, that they wouldn't want to talk about otherwise).

I'm allowing private messages in this game. So they're really is no point in discussing this
I might consider playing if the selected game looks interesting.
Oh shit son I'm in too!
We still need at least 2 more people....rip
*sighhhhh* I suppose I'll help out.
In
I've updated the game and me and Noc both agree that it's balanced. We only need one more person to start it. Ask some NSMers if they'd like to join!
I'm on a computer so I can quote my game from last signups:
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on August 26, 2017, 09:56:45 PMTWG XCV: The Great Minnesota Get-Together
Wow! 9 (or 10 (or even 11 (I like to be optimistic (but not really)))) of us all went to the Minnesota State Fair together and we're ready to have a blast! Unbeknownst to the group of us, two members of the party are unbelievably selfish and want to hog all the [generic food item]-on-a-sticks to themselves. But we're not going to let that happen. Are we?
1. Hungry Werewolf- Each night phase, sends a PM to the host with the name of a Player. That Player is killed. If that player was holding an Item, the Hungry Werewolf takes that Item. The Hungry Werewolf never receives an Item during distribution.
2. Fat Werewolf- As long as the Fat Werewolf is holding an Item, if the Fat Werewolf would die, instead becomes a Vanilla Werewolf and loses any Item held.
3. Foodie- Each night, sends a PM to the host with the name of an Item. The Foodie receives a PM with the name of the Player holding that Item.
4. Fitness Guru- Each night, sends a PM to the host with the name of a Player. That Player loses any Item they were holding.
5. Control Freak- Once per game, at night, may send a PM to the host asking the host to redistribute the Items. The Items will be redistributed at the end of the Phase.
6. Vanilla Human- Has no extraordinary powers, but likes food a lot, which is a superpower in its own right.
7. Vanilla Human- Has no extraordinary powers, but likes food a lot, which is a superpower in its own right.
8. Vanilla Human- Has no extraordinary powers, but likes food a lot, which is a superpower in its own right.
9. Vanilla Human- Has no extraordinary powers, but likes food a lot, which is a superpower in its own right.
Items:
To consume an Item, the Player holding that Item sends a PM to the host notifying them of their intent. Once consumed, Items are removed from the game and do not return.
Mocha-On-A-Stick: A Player may consume this Item to revive another Player at the end of the next Night Phase.
Deep-Fried-Baklava-On-A-Stick: This Item is always given to the Hungry Werewolf. Since nobody likes Baklava, this Item cannot be consumed by a Player and instead can be passed on to another Player as a night action. If that Player is holding an Item already, they swap Items.
Sweet Martha's Cookies: If a Player holding Sweet Martha's Cookies would die, instead the Item is consumed and that Player's Role is publicized.
Corn-Dog-On-A-Stick: A Player may consume this Item to have their vote count as 2 during the next Day Phase.
Night Action Order:
Control Freak
Hungry Werewolf
Item Actions (Including consumption)
Foodie
Fitness Guru
The game begins on a Day Phase, as does the MN State Fair. This Day Phase will be 72 hours long to ensure everyone is active. Cardflips are OFF. There will be a STORY.
If anything this game seems pretty human-sided, but I'm not sure how good the hungry wolf's item stealing ability is. I think there's a lot of room for fancy high-level play with this setup and provided it's balanced properly we could see some really cool stuff happen. With 9 players the game reaches parity in 5 phases, which means humans are allowed 2 mislynches. My first instinct is to change the Mocha ability to something more tame, but what else represents the reviving power of frozen ice cream coffee...
I say we hurry up and put up the pole as soon as davy posts his game.
atm i'd rather play than host a game. However, I think it's better if we put up the pole once we have enough players (we are one short now for both games).

The space helmet.
So for either the sonic or the minessota game, we need 1 another player, if anyone wants to play please do so!
Someone should make an 8 player game while we actually have people

I'm not the best at TWG, but since I sort of know how to play... I'm in unless someone else really wants to join this round. I'll try to be online with school and everything else happening.
That's enough players. Brainy, could you put up the poll?
Also I'd like to see if everyone who signed up is still up for this since it has been a week since sign-ups started.

Do proposed games for hosting still need to be balance checked by someone on TWG staff?
Quote from: blueflower999 on September 10, 2017, 11:37:02 PMDo proposed games for hosting still need to be balance checked by someone on TWG staff?
I think both games have already been balanced. Noc knows enough about TWG to balance his and he and I discussed my game, which we both worked on balancing out.
I guess Noc wins.....sadness.
I did vote for my own game. If you didn't vote for yours it's still a tie lol. It's then up to you if you'd rather play or host
I guess I'll host
This'll be the first game I'll host, wow
Um, nine people voted though, so everyone is accounted for and noc's game won.
edit: oh wait we actually got a ninth player nvm

well, alright then xD
randing roles and sending out PMs
