You should play with us sometime! It's lots of fun!
We have games going pretty much always (and they come with a spectator chat, if you want to hang out and watch and ask questions but not dive right into playing), but we also have a noob-specific game in the winter.

It is a fun mystery type game. You have to figure out who are the wolves killing off the villagers or if you are a wolf, you have to try to kill off the villagers without getting caught. That's a very simplistic explanation.
I know they toss out noob games occasionally so those are always good ones to get your feet wet in.

@SportPonies @kaydubs @WildZoo not that I've been helpful AT ALL so far (#worstcomod2021), but are we planning on doing the noob game over the winter holidays again?
I suspect yes!
I WANNA PLAY
What's cool is I think a lot of last year's noob may now be full mentor status this year? What where the game number cut-offs again?
Might be time to start recruiting noobs...

The cutoff last time was like 15 I think

IIRC the cutoff for manatoring was 15 games (or more), but Sporty's in charge this time so numbers may change.
A bunch of people in my class have hit that number. I haven't. I'm only at 10 🙁

I'd only played twelve games when I modded the Dark Circus noob game...
But I very quickly learned I liked modding more than playing, so prob had modded or co modded the same number.

I LOVE modding. Playing is fine too, but erryone's mad at me right now 🤣.I'd only played twelve games when I modded the Dark Circus noob game...

It's warranted. Also, erryone minus AM. Edit: and Cray

Don't listen to Mel. He's a wolf.
I'm not mad at you at all. That was a great game. Balls licked.

Some descriptions/info from the sign up thread for last year's noob game
Noob Game 2020 Sign-Ups [CLOSED] - All New WW Players Welcome!
Just what the heck is going on here? Have you seen the WW (Werewolf) threads around here and wondered just what exactly they were? Have you wandered into a thread, only to see talk of yeeting and murder and decided to run quickly in the other direction? Did you find yourself a little intrigued...
forums.studentdoctor.net
It is a fun party game that was invented by I don't know who but introduced to SDN by a super cool guy many years ago and to whom songs will be sung and statues built in perpetuity

The cutoff can change depending on the mod. It was 10 games I think two years ago when I was in noob game. BC and I weren't able to manator last year because we were at 12 or 13 games sadly.
Are you counting the games that you modded in your game number?

It’s a forum post and various private messages for each new game.

No, should I?
I'll tag you guys in this year's upcoming noob game to come play! 
I've heard that the best players just jump right in, no waiting for noob games 
that too but genny pls i'm also hoping for more new manator-manatee pairsI've heard that the best players just jump right in, no waiting for noob games
i'm just saying that the game is pretty confusing even for people who have played multiple times, so if new players are the kind of people who like internet arguments with strangers about meaningless stuff, then why wait? just start slinging wild accusations of wolfiness!that too but genny pls i'm also hoping for more new manator-manatee pairs
I believe there's an active discord for other games and stuff, I don't see why this couldn't happen

You can! I know people have counted their modded games toward their total especially since it gives you a lot more understanding on WW

Why? You make up your own anyway, so what's the difference? 😛that too but genny pls i'm also hoping for more new manator-manatee pairs
I kinda hope they don't for the noob game. Because the idea of manators is that they can teach new players how to play, it helps if they've played enough games firsthand not just modded in order to teach strategy. Kind of depends on how closely one read the thread and PMs as well for how much a mod learns about gameplay from modding, too. And as we know, forms of spectating is never really the same for learning to play as actually playing is.
And it helps not to put the bar for being a manator so low that we don't have enough players between the padawans (eligible to play) and the incoming noob class, to have a full enough game of less experienced players.

Well theoretically I'm one of the mods so I wouldn't be padawaning even if eligible with # of games. I think I was only going to step back from being useless comod and try to manator if I could recruit one or two of my vet school friends to play. But they seem less interested now than when I first brought it up 🙁
