Question
Since so many people signed up and aren't playing... do you guys want to restart with just the active people?
Werewolf games are good down to 9 people. Below that it gets silly. Just has to be an odd number of people...

Re: Question
Why does it have to be an odd number?

Re: Question
Because if it's an even number, the game could eventually result in 2 players remaining, wolf and villager, which doesn't work.
Re: Question
Yes it does. Ties are solved randomly.

For the record, I think felix is correct, although, I think his reasoning is wrong.lurker wrote:Is this from the mythical rules page?
In an even forum game, where 1 player will be daylight lynched every day no matter what, if there's say 4 wolfs and 12 villagers the wolfs have too strong an advantage based on the lack of the one extra villager vote (random vote). Similarly 3 wolfs vs 13 villagers is too unbalanced.
That was the sense I got from the games I played anyways.
Re: Question
Maybe you can go with the higher wolf count but have an angel?

Re: Question
ya, there's other ways of balancing it. I mean, ultimately it won't end the world if we just try crap out.lurker wrote:Maybe you can go with the higher wolf count but have an angel?
Re: Question
I vote restart. Also make anonymous accounts for all players, only you would know who is who.Felix the Cat wrote:Since so many people signed up and aren't playing... do you guys want to restart with just the active people?

Re: Question
This game is over soon anyway, so yeah go ahead. I'm also for kicking anyone who is inactive in the first day/night cycle, I don't want any lurking wolves.
Re: Spring Werewolf I
What's that? Something is lurkering?
Re: Question
Fine, I'll just lock the thread myself, another post moved from it.
Re: Question
Count me out for the next game. Lurker is breaking everything.
