Ladies and Gentlemen... a Noob WW Sign Ups!

[Trilt]

---

Members don't see this ad.

Are you curious about those strange threads that always seem to be around SDN, stuffed full of people arguing about whether someone is a wolf or not?

Do you wonder wtf people are talking about when we joke about bandwagons?

Do you know why @Jilary is never a wolf (except when she is) and why you should never trust anything @SummerTheLynx claims?

No? You're confused as heck? FANTASTIC! We've got a game for you.

So, what is WW?

WW - "Werewolf" - is a forum-based version of the classic party game "Mafia." You may have played it at camp at some point. Peruse the wikipedia entry and see if it looks familiar.

No? That's okay. Fundamentally, WW is a game of a small informed minority (the wolves) trying to killed off a confused, uninformed majority (the villagers). The villagers are, obviously, trying to figure out the bad guy wolves before they are all killed.

There is a simple day-night cycle to the game. During the day, all of the players talk together and decide one person that they believe to be a wolf. This person is killed - "lynched" - and removed from the game. At that point, whether they are wolf or village (or... other!) is revealed. During the night, the wolves plot together and decide on a villager to kill (who is, again, removed from the game).

Of course, we make this slightly more complicated, and if you want to read more check these links out:

Cyndia's post halfway down this thread is fantastic
An old noob game with a description and common rules
​

...but don't feel obligated to.​

That sounds kinda fun I guess. How can I start playing WW?

You're at the right place! Some genius a couple years back decided to start running games for brand new (and mostly new) players - "noobs" - and @kaydubs and myself are here to continue the tradition. Play with a bunch of people who have no idea what they're doing, and with a helpful, more seasoned player (a "mentor") to help you out.

We've decided to limit this game mostly to people who have played 0-2 games on SDN in the past. I expect most people playing to have never played any and basically have no idea what they're doing, so don't be shy. 🙂​

When will this game start?

This game will begin DECEMBER 16th, which is hopefully after (or right near the end of) finals for most people. The first day will run long to let people get situated and figure things out. We will also give extra time during the holidays as necessary, since I know people tend to be busy seeing family and that sort of weird stuff. 😛

So, sign up below, and then hold your horses while we whip up a fantastic game for everyone. It should be tons of fun.
​

Questions?

 

[Trilt]

To sign up, you simply put your name on the list below. Easy peasy.

You'll notice that sometimes people will put others' names down as a tag; this is them basically asking if they're willing to play. So, for example, I have Kam, FB and Lupin below...

I can mentor if you need some people still after signups are complete. There are far better options for mentors out there so I'll hold off for now 🙂

 

[rockatiel]

I'm probably more noob than mentor but I'll go where I need to 😉

 

[cdo96]

@Trilt Quick question- if it starts December 16th, how long does it usually run? I only ask because December 27th I'm flying out to South Africa and won't have phone usage for 2 weeks after that (and I'm sure it won't be going on after I get back)

Depends a bit on how many people are signed up. I can basically always sub someone in for you, and chances are you'd be dead by that point (not being mean... just 10 days of game means most people are dead!) so I think you should sign up. 😀

Also, South Africa is amazing and I hope you're doing something awesome.

Enjoy South Africa! That's where my soul is. I love it so much. You also don't have to play a noob game, you can join in any game after you get back 🙂 You are more than welcome.

 

[katashark]

Also, I'm just not good enough to mentor. I suck at WW. I just like playing the game and talking to you guys.

I'll think about it. Depends on a few things and just need time to decide if I want to sign up or not.

 

[cdo96]

Okay great! Yeah I'll definitely sign up! And yeah. I'd probably be dead by then so nothing to lose!

And yes! I have family friends that live there so we're staying at their house and they're planning an amazing vacation for us- safaris, vineyard tours, watching penguins at Boulder Beach (but not getting too close because those SOBs will destroy you). I'm very excited!

 

[deleted676737]

Yay, noob game! Seriously, new people, you should give it a shot! 🙂

I'd offer to mentor but I don't have many games under my belt and I'm still pretty nooby myself. Also, let's be honest, I just kind of suck at WW, so... there are better options.

 

[cdo96]

Enjoy South Africa! That's where my soul is. I love it so much. You also don't have to play a noob game, you can join in any game after you get back 🙂 You are more than welcome.

Yeah... I've been saying that I would just spontaneously join a gam for almost a year now. I need this noob game to force myself to open up haha. And I definitely will enjoy it! First time- but not excited for that flight!!

 

[Trilt]

Yeah... I've been saying that I would just spontaneously join a gam for almost a year now. I need this noob game to force myself to open up haha. And I definitely will enjoy it! First time- but not excited for that flight!!

Copy and paste the sign up list from Lymphocyte and pick a number for yourself!

Also, all ya'll saying you're not good enough to mentor... don't be ridiculous. If you can answer basic questions and be nice, you'll be fine. (You can all answer basic questions and be nice).

Depending on how many sign up I can probably squeeze a couple extras into the mentor chat for observation, but you may as well just go for it I think. 😉

[SummerTheLynx]

when did sandstorm become shortnsweet?

Sign me up for mentoring. Also, Trilt, if I can request a game that would end by December 29th, I would be greatly appreciative, I may be running it too long as it is with my game (into the school year that is), and thus can't start mine any later than the 29th 🙂.

Yay for opening up! The flight takes forever, but South Africa is beautiful!

@ZedsDed, @Ceke2002, @Lost In Transcription -- are you n00b like me? Come join!!

 

[TheGirlWithTheFernTattoo]

@Trilt how exactly does the mentor thing work? I'm too noob to have been around for the last noob game.

@Trilt how exactly does the mentor thing work? I'm too noob to have been around for the last noob game.

Basically, serve as an individual resource for one of the new players. Mostly answering questions, encouraging discussion, etc; not to the point that you're basically playing through your noob, but just giving a hand with understanding WW. It's a lot to take in when you're brand new!

Also, ya'll will be in a big mentor chat and can talk about the game privately. If you have a particular mentee in mind, PM me, but otherwise they'll be RNG'd(ish).

 

[finnickthedog]

Also, all ya'll saying you're not good enough to mentor... don't be ridiculous. If you can answer basic questions and be nice, you'll be fine. (You can all answer basic questions and be nice).

Well, if you say so.

One time when I was on the ATL to JoBurg flight, we took off, then about 2 hours later there was a medical situation where we had to fly back to Atlanta and let the person get off. Since we took off heavy, we had to fly around burning off fuel in order to land again in Atlanta (that's a thing, right LIS/SOV/W2VM?). Turned the normal 16 hours of flying to about 22. Just keep walking around the plane if you can. You get a full night's sleep and it's still not over for a long time. lol. I don't mind long flights, but that was pushing my limits of boredom. lol. You'll have a blast though!!

Ahh I'm from Texas, and some reason our flight is from DFW to Dubai (15 hours), we spend a day in Dubai and then Dubai to Cape Town (8 hours). Luckily Emirates has a stand-up bar on board so it shouldn't be too bad. 😉

So I started reading the WW 101- SDN Farm game for beginners to get more familiar, which reminded me of the super angry anti-WW thread from this Summer: https://forums.studentdoctor.net/th...threads-it-makes-absolutely-no-sense.1206657/

Which brought me to WWhores and you can bet your sweet biscuits I'm about to read this entire game.

Oh I don't know. I just want a general idea of how many people we need to design the game for. Preferably an answer sooner rather than later but if you need some time I can usually shove a role or two on later.

And shout out to my previous manatees, @Devastating @SandstormDVM they grow up so fast 😢 And of course, much love to my own mentor, @allieh8607 😍
