So it's werewolf but it isn't.
Here's the wiki page (https://bloodontheclocktower.com/wiki/Main_Page) and here's an example of how the game is played (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZBv...1Kr2Hv&index=9)
I'm wondering if this would work on a forum? I'm also using this thread to see if anyone would be interested in playing this?
Yes.
I'm a twit
Mahow is a fucking wolf. So is P_3.
In
I'm up for it.
So this is something me and Pleb have been talking about co-running for weeks/months but we've just never got the ball rolling. I would have done it on my own but it's a game that sometimes requires the host to make decisions that may effect things and I wanted someone else to bounce those decisions off before making them as it would be my first time trying the game, though we've both watched a lot of games so we should know what we're doing.
I don't think we want anymore than say 12 players for our first game and we already have confirmed interest from Mahow, Gray Fox Ian and Thommo via Discord. With the 3 in the thread that brings us to 7 so far. The only thing I would say is inactive players would kill this as everyone has a powerful role (to some degree) so please don't sign up if you plan to be inactive. My preference would probably be to do this one evening, rather than stringing it out over a week like we do with Werewolf. We've not yet decided if we'll play on the forum or on Discord, but both options seem to be viable.

I should point out in a bit of a TL;DR way that it's got several key advantages over your standard Werewolf. For example, every singe player has a power of some description, whether you be the big bad or the humble town Librarian.
Another is that, your involvement doesn't end in death. In fact some roles have powers to give you information if you die in certain ways. You also get to vote 1 time after death.
The game comes with 3 standard scripts, Trouble Brewing, Sects & Violets and Bad Moon Rising. Think of those as essentially easy to hard modes. Trouble Brewing is a great way of dipping the toe in the water. There are custom scripts beyond that, but I'd be surprised if we got there.
If it's going to be done in one go over an evening then I'm probably out.
Well looking at it, it seems the official forum version is longed out, with voting periods being 36 hours long... so if people would prefer to play via the forum slowly we can do that.
I can't imagine given how obsessed we all seem to be with this game that this'll be a one and done, so we can try different ways and find out what works.
I'll play.
I'm torn because a shorter version would mean killing Mahow in record time, but I think it would work much better for most people if over a longer period of time. I think it's only the active members on TTH Discord that would want to do it in one evening.
It's better suited to being done over one night on Discord.
Here is an example of a forum game though:
https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/271...67-game-thread
I'm less fussed about trying a forum version. In part because I just tend to have less time.during the day than when I used to take part in these and catching up on a load of stuff at once feels like a chore.
So that brings us to 7 players for either version if Ian is out of the long one and Offy is out of the short one.
I guess we just hope for a few more sign ups and see which version they are willing to try. I’m open to either version, as I said, I imagine both will happen at some point pending interest.
I would much rather a long one. I'd probably be out if it's to be done in one sitting. I rarely have that much time.
I'd prefer a long one.
Cool, I think a long one is a good starting point to see how it goes.
Probably need a handful more players and then we should be good to go.
I like the sound of allowing dead people to participate and not revealing the roles upon death. I'd be shit at a short Discord based one but would definitely be up for a traditional long forum one.
Don't you usually lose interest and disappear though?Originally Posted by P_3
Wolf.
Where's the fun in murdering Mahow immediately if he can still play? Fuck sake.
Once we've killed him we can hire an exorcist to get rid of him once and for all.
Count me in to any extended version.
Depends when it happens, I am away for the next few days so if it is after that I'm in.
I'll have a go at this, although probably wouldn't be able to do it in a real time/one sitting type event.
There's a TTH discord?
You need to PM Ian a photo of you holding a sign with your username on to get an invite.
I'm a twit
He can use one of the numerous timestamped nudes I've sent him.
I'll play, although if it extends past next Tuesday I probably won't be around.
Why does that sound so ominous?
I've told you before, Spikey, that writing 'today' in your own fluids isn't a timestamp.
I make that 13 people interested which should be more than enough to get started. How long is @Lofty missing for?
Well, if Lofty is missing and Ian is apparently going away soon, that still leaves 11 which should work. Anyone else disappearing soon? I'm hopeful we can get it done before SvN disappears in a week if it's only 11 players?
There's a good summary of the roles that are available in the first version of the game. Obviously, not all the roles will be in play.
This is going to be a bloodbath.
Only if Mahow gets his way, the Imp cunt.
I would advise everyone playing to watch this playthrough:
Or at the very least the intro so you understand the rules which are slightly different from a regular Werewolf game.
2 fucking hours. We're not all dole dossers, you twat.
Which is why I advised "at the very least the intro" which is like 10-15 minutes.
They go through the rules and the roles that they are using that game.
Some basic rules for those who aren't familiar with the game, and I welcome those players that are to add on to this:
Private conversations are allowed between anyone, except during the nominations phase. I don't really have a way to police these, but I would just ask that no one screenshots their roles to other people as this would kill the game. Other than that, all bets are off.... and obviously you can tell people your role privately, but they'll know you could be lying.
Once nominations begin there is no more private talking and all conversations must be in the thread. Any player can nominate another player and it doesn't have to be seconded. They must make a post explaining the reason for the nomination, and then after that, the player who has been nominated gets to make 1 post defending themselves. After that, everyone else votes on whether to execute them or not. Voting goes round the circle in order and you simply vote yes or no. 50% of the living players need to vote yes for the person to be put on the block. Once someone is on the block, they will die unless someone else gets more votes than them during the same nomination/voting phase. In the event of a tie, no one dies.
Dead players cannot nominate any more but they can still vote Yes 1 more time. Once it's gone, it's gone so the dead players should use their votes very wisely. Dead players are still playing for the team they were on, whether that's the good team or the evil team.
We go on until the Imp is dead, or until there are no good players left. If we get to 1 good Vs 1 Evil, then evil wins.
Anyone can also talk to me or Pleb at any time to clarify rules etc. I'll be randomly visiting all the profiles so people can't draw any conclusions from that.
I've sent my randomly assigned roles to Pleb to get his thoughts on.... we'll be looking to kick this off today at some point, with 11 players. We've left Ian and Lofty out this time as they said they weren't available, but we will include them next time if we can/if it works. Sorry Lofty... feels bad after we couldn't get you into Fantasy Football either... we'll find a way to include you!
Blank copy of the game board so people know who is sat next to who. This is important for certain powers. Roles will be distributed shortly. I think we can maybe have our first nomination period this evening, maybe starting around 8? Open to other suggestions if other times work better as this is the first time trying this.
Hi Spikey
I was wondering what that smell was.
Just to ask that no one discuss their roles publically just yet, until I've managed to get round everyone.
I don't really know what's going on yet but Mahow must die before we play properly.
All the set up is done and players have been contacted appropriately. You can now begin discussions (both public and private) and we'll open nominations tonight at 8pm.
The official forum thing recommended 36 hours for a nomination period but hopefully we can get done quicker than that to keep it moving. All players have the option to contact me with instructions on who they would/wouldn't vote yes for, who they want to nominate etc if they feel they won't be around.
We have officially started.
Epic, wasn't expecting such a quick start.
I'll begin sliding into all of yours DMs shortly.
Anyone want to come out and claim an outsider role?
I'm the recluse and I have absolutely no idea what I do. Basically I just look shifty, right? *cups cigarette inside hand*
All I'll say publicly is that someone in this town likes a drink...
Does that corroborate with what Spikey is saying?
No big intro or anything? I wanted Pleb rapping or something.
