atm there seems to be a problem with dropbox. I doesn't work for me at all (Edit: it is down on a global scale, apparently). If you cannot download the module, PM me your e-mail address

Gave you are my hero. Heroes are needed to make DBZ AIDSMASH a TOP 3 game.
I think that game needs to run this year

MtG III needs another mod - start of the game is 12th of october.

Currently UD is in, I will be modding behind the scenes due to 2+2 being capped at work.
The optimum would be someone who can cover EOD.

It will be oodles of fun modding this thing!

I could probably handle eod if it's 8-10pm ET

Day will be 08:00-21:00

9pm works fine. If death reveals are all you need I can do that no problem

Running ITA's doesn't sound like fun?

I'll post the revised schedule soonish and you can choose a date that suits?

Please just remember if it's not going to be werewolf as such, call it just the Aidsmash. No problem at all with running whatever kind of game you like so long as everyone knows what they're signing up for.

Link worked after all. Thanks Gabe

Have you given any thought to expanding the program in order to automate other game functions? I could see it being very useful for other day and night actions. I could also see it being super expanded such that a person can build a vanilla/vanilla+/mishmash by selecting various options in the database. Enter in the number of players, select from a large list of predetermined roles but also have the ability to create a new role, click checks for what action someone performs so that the system automates the effects of their actions and whether they conflict with someone else's actions.

I am thinking crazy stuff as far as using something like this to help people create their own werewolf games. I've read a lot of the guides in the sticky about how to balance vanilla+ and mishmash games. So the program could have weighted values for various roles and design elements, and the program would perform calculations as you adjust things so that it can tell you how close to red/unbalanced or green/balanced the game is. If you think the value weight is wrong, you can manually adjust it, but it would be helpful to have master templates.

I had started to create exactly what you're describing in an excel sheet (cos I'm not a programmer or anything). Didn't get very far but do intend on completing it one day

Gabethebabe+StuckinARutt team up to revolutionize POG WW imo

We could add a troll option so that the opening template asks if you want to design a WW or Mafia game. If you select Mafia, the program pulls up the Wikipedia page for AIDS.

Not going to do all that. Benefit/effort ratio waaaay too low.

I keep my energy for creating the modules for my specific games, like MtG III

The HP6 module with spells and map based actions and triggered events was also quite something

If someone wants a small customization, I can do that. I'm not going to create a monster that costs more time to understand than it will gain you in the game

The current module is easy, intuitive and effective.

Yea that's fair. When you're a big time programmer aint got no time for nothing. Me on the other hand I'm terrible and a bit of excel macroing is all I can do. So that being said I'm working on my new....we'll call it...."module" now for you spaids.

My vision is it will be an excel sheet downloadable from dropbox. Should be able to select Vanilla, V+ or mishmash and number of players, then it should help you set up the games. For Vanilla it will be easy, will give you a predetermined distribution and will spit you role PMs when you give it a player list. V+ I'll have a number of existing roles you can select from, and hopefully the option of adding your own roles to the list. But it will still do role PMs and everything for you.

For MM will require more user input, probably filling in the fields yourself for many of your own roles, the option of how you want the role PM to be formatted, including pictures or different fonts etc.

I'm pretty slow at this stuff so may not have anything tangeable for a week or two. if you want to test it and provide feedback as I go along Spaide let me know

FWIW, Chips has the (beginnings) of that program in the Fennec Fox package but it doesn't boot up for me anymore.

Hi Stuck,

Absolutely. Send it to me at your leisure. I am happy to help you however I can.

Yea, that feature exists already for vanilla setting up. I think it's the mary mercat program? It's very useful but I'd like to build an all-in-one thing

this

Well, no-one has gotten back to me on this, so I'm just going to assume that I have this date. I'll throw a sign up sheet up middle of next week.

I've actually got two rolesets put together. One for Vanilla+ and one for a mish-mash.

Might just run with the vanilla+ and save the mish-mash roles for a massive mish-mash based on the entire Die Hard universe sometime in the new year.

Isn't Banks/Storks game around that time? If it is you should throw up signups now and see if we can start by next Monday/Tuesday.

Myself and Stork will be running our mash on the 21st. I'll be posting the signup Sunday night.

Can someone please run a game soon that's either a draft game or random day lengths?

kof

I was thinking about doing a random day length game

What's a draft game?

You have "captains" who select players to be on their side. I doubt we currently have the player base to make it viable.

Random day lengths is "fun" right up to the point you have to wolf through an 86-hour day with one teammate lynched and the other one peeked.
