Hi there everyone, your neighborhood friendly Pengu here with some Werewolf info!

So we're finally getting to a point where we're getting some host interest for future games, and I'm ecstatic to see us reach this point.

But...how do you go about claiming a game?  Well, that's what this thread is going to solve.  In this thread, you can claim the next closest game of Werewolf that's available.  Simply say that you're interested, say which Werewolf you'd like to host, and give a little info on what your game is about.  If your game choice is available, you'll be added to the list!

Remember that all game claims are on a first come-first serve basis, so if a game is already taken, you'll have to go for the next available slot (which is okay, because it gives more time to iron out any possible kinks for your game!).

Questions that I get in this thread (Paraphrased)

How long should I wait to post signups for my game?
Preferably a week to give people time to wind down and talk about the previous game a bit.  2 weeks is recommended at most since that's when people start to really ask about when the next game is starting.

What if something happens that causes my game to not happen (IE finals or a family emergency)?
Naturally, life is more important...so you're not going to get the finger wag if you have to dip out before your game hits.  However, it is highly recommended getting with the current Thane of Werewolf so that you don't get bumped out of your spot.  We can either push back signups for your game a little longer, or have you switch slots with another host if you have no problems waiting a game (and the extra time could be beneficial).  As long as you're in contact with us, we'll do our best to work with you.  But if you simply disappear and are gone for at least 2 weeks with no contact with us, you will be bumped out of the host list until you pop back in.

So if you're wanting to host, here's what you need to do:

Host name:
Werewolf game number desired:
Werewolf game theme:
Some small info about your game:

And you'll be added!  And to keep the list nice so that people get a chance to get in quick, I'll be limiting it to roughly 5 games for the cutoff for requests.  I look forward to seeing all of the upcoming games! 

And naturally, I'll be taking slot 25.

Unclaimed Games:
Werewolf 34 (Unclaimed)
Werewolf 35 (Unclaimed)

Claimed Games:

Werewolf 30
Hosted by: Silv
Theme: Nightmare Mafia
Info: Level 2

Werewolf 31
Hosted by: Abbi
Theme: Sailor Moon Mafia: Subtitle Redacted
Info: Level 4-5

Werewolf 32
Hosted by: Imaginative Kane
Theme: Grimm (TV show)
Info: Level 3-4

Werewolf 23
Hosted by Barnes
Theme Airplane/travel (passengers v hijackers)
Mechanics This would be a large, relatively vanilla game with a time limit. We'll ideally have about 20-24 passengers and 2-3 hijackers, but if the hijackers aren't caught within approx 8 day phases (numbers can change based on interest), the hijackers win (eliminating the equal/outnumber win condition).

Question if I claim but something prevents my game from happening what happens?

Oh audio how long is there gonna be between games?

Well, signups for a new game would preferably pop up at least a week after the previous game ends so that people have time to wind down, but if you needed to push them back a little more because of something like finals, there's usually some leeway there.

As long as you're letting us know when something happens, we can work with you.  We can either just wait a little longer for signups to start, or you can switch slots with someone and they just go first, with you going in their place when they normally would have hosted.

Really, whatever works best for you in that aspect as long as you're keeping in contact with the current Thane of Werewolf so they know that you didn't just disappear (in which case if you do that, you'd just be bumped out and the next host would start up).

I'll go ahead and claim Werewolf 24.

I wanna try and host it on Mafia Universe as a test-run. It makes the life of the players and host immeasurably easier.

I'll take 27

Need time to stress over every detail. But it's gonna be a werewolf roleplay hybrid type game.

Oh god, now we have a waiting list to be able to host Werewolf? Terrifying.

I know. It's almost like we're finally getting a big werewolf following around here.

Not sure if this also is included with Discord Werewolf games but if it is, I will officially reiterate my claims (or make them known if they weren't official earlier) for a simple themed practice game based on the Warcraft idea and a complex game I have been planning for more than a year.  This is on Discord not here though.

With such a big backlog of games to be hosted, I don't think I will be trying it again any time soon, especially since this listing makes it more difficult to work into real-life schedules.

This saddens me as your games are constantly used as a point of reference for me and in researching them I think your games would be really really fun to have participated in

I mean, yes and and no.  As I said to Hapi, if you were to take a slot and it ends up interfering with your RL matters when your game pops up for example, we can always push your game back a bit to give you time or have you switch spots with someone.  Despite having more of a waitlist type of system, we're still working with people who want to host but may have RL affairs that pop up.

Discord games are their own thing and don't apply to this list...this is mainly for the forum games.

Alright, good to know, just thought I would say it anyway.

Host name: Ya boi funfun
Werewolf game number desired: 26
Werewolf game theme: Idhk I’ll think of somethin, probably just make it about the players themselves
Some small info about your game: I wanna do a back to basics game, which will mean something a little bit different to y’all probably. Light, french vanilla taste, I think the roles will be at least mildly interesting but not overwhelming to help y’all get a feel for the  main strategies as well as secondary.

Another thing, I will only be accepting 13 players

I believe too many players is a very bad thing to have among newer players, so I will only be accepting this many for simplicity’s sake. Any others will be relegated to sub.

I see a lot of promise in y’all and I’m hoping this will be a very pleasant experience and opportunity to grow and learn about how mafia setups and rule sets work outside of Wintreath.
