The NOTW Information Thread

[Diamondeye]

I am about to run a 16-player mafia game on the .org-site that we've recently interacted a bit with (through the arrival of AskThePizzaGuy, mostly, I think). After that, I could be talked into designing some sort of CFC-themed mafia game.

 

[Sprig]

isn't there a queue? system in place at .org?

 

[Diamondeye]

Indeed there is but I won't risk having to run two games at once if it's suddenly my turn comes up at .org.

 

[Sprig]

that can happen too :O suddenly I am next in line. something that I was not expecting nor did i want to host games over the new year period.

Anyways, look forward to it - it will be a small snakes and foxes game based in the mortal kombat universe

 

[Catharsis]

BL, the links for Mini-NotW I and II both lead to the same thread (mNotW II). mNotW I is here.

FUN FACT!

Since its conception, NotW has had 158 different players/GMs (or if you only care about players, 157, because Kael hosted but never played). 163 if you include mNotWs.

(there might be one or two more because there isn't any data available about NotW XV, so no player lists, but that only matters if a player was only in NotW XV and no other games)

 

[Bratmon]

I'm in one of those proud 5 that was in mnotw but not notw.

Hi I noticed that your URL is wrong for Song of the Nightingale XIX and Night of Blood XXVII.

I've opened my LoTR Mafia Game for sign-ups. I won't be getting it started until the 16th or 17th, so there shouldn't be too much overlap with the other games going on at the moment.

I post this here as an invitation to all NOTW players to sign-up for my game, which is rather NOTWish. It's kinda like an ATPG Mafia Game, so all you NOTW players (and all those that played ATPG's mafia games) should love it.

What's ATPG?

Can I suggest that dead ppl in NotW be given the chance to write up the lynch mob narrative for the evening and PM it to the GM for approval - it saves the GM work and also gives keen players a chance to still be involved after death!

 

[Camikaze]

What's ATPG?

askthepizzaguy. And this and this are his two mafia games. I call them 'his' style, because he was the first to bring that style to mafia games here.

Things like that are very much up to the individual GMs themselves.

 

[TheForestAuro]

Is Izipo still here/running his game next? Otherwise I might start a sign up thread for my game.

 

[Winston Hughes]

Izipo hasn't signed in since November, so I guess you can go ahead. But I would think the current game still has a long way to run yet, so you might want to wait a little while longer.

 

[Autolycus]

Sprig's MNotw has ended. Are there any objections to my starting up a new one?

 

[Renata]

Do it.

 

[Bad Player]

Let me run this idea by you - to stop 'meta-gaming' whereby the good players are murdered early if they are innocent (to remove their threat to the WWs), I could create 30 new accounts and passwords (e.g. Wainwright Smith) and then give them to the players. This way it's like everyone's at a masquerade!


I've made significant (50%?) headway (ie several pages of brainstorming and some definite ideas) into my 2nd NotW game but I don't want to officially state that it is under design just yet.

 

[Ekolite]

Duplicate accounts are against the rules of this forum, and most NOTWers communicate primarilly through IM anyway.

 

[GenMarshall]

IMs?! The only IM I use is Steam .

 

[Methos]

I could create 30 new accounts and passwords (e.g. Wainwright Smith) and then give them to the players.

Definitely not a good idea.
