Link to game 1

I took a shot at designing a new ball set and would like to run a game with it. Looking for exactly 8 players.

This is a simple game that will last three days. Each day (24h) you are expected to make 3-8 moves, with 2h (at least) between each move. What else you post in the game thread is your own responsibility.

I propose a couple of new rules to increase the depth of this game

The end of game is at a random time during the last hour of the game. So no more sniping balls at :00 at end of game.

There will be a 13th Crystal ball in the game, that everybody will know about

People start with 25 coins and can spend coins to gain knowledge of new balls entering the game (an auction mechanic) or make guesses about which ball another player has knowledge of (leveling itt)

I'm in.

It would be good if we could fix the hours the last hour of the game can arrive to a 4 hour period. I don't want to miss out on turns because I'm sleeping.

I like the new rules, in particular the auction mechanic. Would the auctions be periodic, random, or player led during the game?

How would this one work?

Are we going to have the same identities for the balls too?

If so, might as well post them all at the start (obviously without listing which ball is attached to which identity.)

The balls are all completely new and any resemblance with the balls designed by stuck is coincidental

All players will start with 25 coins. At end of game coins will convert into points 1:1.
If you gain points during the game, these cannot be used as cash.

At the start of the game you will bid an amount of your 25 coins to learn about the next new ball that enters the game. The two highest bidders will win the auction (randing when there is a tie). When a ball has entered the game, coins will be paid, information provided and players will be able to change their bid for the next ball.

At any time in the game you may pay 5 coins and guess a player and ball. If that player has that ball info, you gain the info as well. If you misguess, you get nothing AND your 5 coins go to that player. He will learn about his new cash, but not who gave it to him.

We can end the game in the last x hours of the 3 days or in the first x hours of the 4th day. Whatever players prefer. Also the start/end time can be managed, as long as I can handle EOG as a Euro.

This is very nice.

This is great fun. Very similar to Flamme Rouge set up.

Cool, so this will be through DM.

Noon EST is 5pm GMT, and seems to be the most active cross-continental time on Werewolf. 3 hours either side of that is also quite easy (if it works for you obviously Gabe)

This is the ball that everybody will know about, the Crystal ball:

Quote:
This ball can only be given to the mod. Any player that manages to give this ball back to the mod learns the identity of a ball of that player's choice. The player(s) that has/have stolen this ball the most during the game, lose(s) 10 points at EOG.
This ball in itself is tricky, because when you steal it, you open yourself to -10 points, but if you never steal it, other people will gain info that you don't have.
