TTH Werewolf: The curse of Harold Bishop

[Offshore Toon]

I thought it might be fun to do a werewolf before Browning does another BooC.

The curse of Harold Bishop

Harold has managed to hack several accounts and is trying to take over and destroy the forum. The posters need to figure out which accounts he has taken over and shut them down. Roles are:

Harolds - you can communicate among yourselves and choose which account to hack and delete each night.

Admins - you can communicate among yourselves and choose one poster to protect each night. If Harold attacks them, he will fail. It will not be revealed to the forum who you chose to protect unless it is successful.

RandomLegends - you can communicate among yourselves and utilise your sources to investigate one poster each night. You will be told what their role is.

Hacker - when hacked (either by Harold or the posters) they get to choose one poster to take down with them.

Games like this kill the board.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sounds like a good theme.

I'm in.

[Boydy]

Count me in.

[Browning]

Yea I'll play.

[thommo]

Yup, I'm in.

[Offshore Toon]

I'll keep sign up open for at least 24 hours. Hopefully we get near 20 involved.

[Pleb]

In.

[Lofty]

[Manc]

Let's have it.

Hi Harold

[Offshore Toon]

Games like this kill the board.

You should sign up. I think you'd actually end up enjoying it by the end.

[SvN]

Absolutely

You just end up with everyone online dribbling over some vote and posting in nothing else.

There's not much else happening anyway. Ideally, we need more people starting new threads, but nobody seems that interested.

On the other hand, it may actually make the board more active by giving quieter posters a reason to visit regularly.

it doesn’t. It just makes existing posters post nothing because they’re constantly at that.

You make it sound like threads are physical rooms and people prefer to stay in one cos they’ve managed to get a table.

That’s exactly what it turns out like. Logged on yesterday a few times and there was nothing except loads of posts in the other werewolf type thread.

[Baz]

I think it’s more to do with no football being on.

[niko_cee]

Of course [to being in].

Although I do like some of the elements of the other game where the dead still had some input, can that be carried over? I guess death role reveals cover off most of the mystery, but the ghost vote is a cool idea.

Yeah, I'll have a think. If anyone else has an idea too then let me know.

[Gray Fox]

Also in.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Regarding the admins.

Can a rule be put in place that they can't protect themselves or they can't protect the same person twice in a row?

If not it just means someone can make themselves effectively unkillable.

[Spikey M]

still seething?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

still seething?

Nope, only just remembered but it was incredibly stupid.

[Spikey M]

You got plebrolled.

[Lewis]

I would rather die than play, but I will be reading along for the Haroldian prose in the updates.

'oh lol'

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You got plebrolled.

I think we all got plebrolled in that game.

It does, but restricting it to one also creates an easy target on the second night. Maybe the longest should be three nights? That way, there's still some form of deception required.

[Boydy]

How about giving the dead one single vote between them all? So there'd be like a dead sub-vote to decide which nominee gets +1 added to their tally. Call it a seance.

Maybe only works for townsfolk though. Can't really have dead wolves voting in it.

[Lewis]

If it's Harold-themed the 'dead' would be his mass alias sign-ups.

[Spikey M]

I'm expecting 112 pages of slide pictures tbh.

[Offshore Toon]

I count 12 in so far. We're probably going to need more than that so I'll keep sign up open in hope that others join.

[Spikey M]

Get in touch with Harold to see if he'll make a guest appearance.

[niko_cee]

You need to get Adra, P3 and Byron on board.

[Offshore Toon]

How the fuck did Boydy get 26? If there's no luck today I'll PM some members. 12 isn't enough.

[Baz]

Tag some with @ maybe?

We hadn't played in ages and it was during the first lockdown so people had nothing else to do.
