While I wait

[Aersoldorf]

While I'm waiting for the next werewolves game, is anyone interested in a quick round of resistance or spyfall?

[Ater Nox]

I'm always up for either.

Aersoldorf, I picked up One Night Ultimate Werewolf last christmas and have played a fair bit of that. Do you still play it IRL? Do you have any good strategies you like?

[Aersoldorf]

I still play with my family when we all get together, we'll have 9-13 play at a time. We sometimes play until 3 or 4 in the morning when we're at the beach (going again in less than 5 weeks). I also play with my oldest daughter's friends when they come over, smaller group of 5-8. I like letting others claim roles first, but have to go first occasionally to offset any potential tells. When I'm a solo wolf I usually claim to be whatever card I look at but sometimes I'll claim a role at random and say that the other person is lying. If I have a partner then I'll act like I'm the seer and claim that I spotted both wolf cards in the center.

[Ater Nox]

The seer play is nice, but I think if there is a seer out there your story falls apart a bit.

My favourite play at the moment is to claim troublemaker no matter what I was straight away, tell two people I switched them and then ask if either used to be a wolf

[Aersoldorf]

I get called out a lot, but I can usually out logic the other person


Edit: although it's a very difficult task because all 4 of my children and 5 of my nieces/nephews are geniuses

[Ater Nox]

That's fair enough. I have a little bit of a rep at being sneaky at those types of games with my friends, so I usually come off worse when I counter claim someone else directly.

[Aersoldorf]

I have the same problem

[Sauron]

I love playing one night ultimate werewolf.

I was wondering if it's possible to play it on a forum and how you'd manage to cope with all the roles and different scenarios, as well as the time frame.

If I'm a werewolf I always claim the role that is in the middle that I saw, if I'm a good role usually just tell the truth. I tend not to be believed by anyone anymore, so if the rest of my party suspects me we usually end up losing as they will vote for me regardless as they just naturally assume I'm evil all the time. It's slightly frustrating, particularly when I know the other player is the werewolf but they generally just trust the other players.

Also Mordor is hosting a game of Avalon, which is The Resistance but set in Arthurian times, with a slight twist, if anyone would like to join and I'm okay to advertise it here.

I know Aerso is already signed up.

[Aersoldorf]

I was going to ask you if you wanted me to advertise it later this evening Sauron. As for playing on the forum, you can do it the same way that we do Resistance games here, or you could make it more real-time friendly by playing via a group chat like Skype. Have the host determine what cards are in the middle and handle the night time activities.

[Ater Nox]

I think we tried one night here once, but I don't remember it going too well. I'm not sure I really got the game back then, so maybe that was it.

[Aersoldorf]

Yeah, I think Firstaria ran it while the forum chat still worked
