Sorry, yeah, I knew that.

I want in whenever this game runs! I have a reputation to uphold.

Waiting for next game. Please page me when one fires up. I want to kill, eat, and poop out some OO'ers.

That is all.

I could try my power cards version if no one else wants to do one first.

That sounds fun.

Trig said he was prepping a Get Smart game, so maybe give him right of first refusal. If he's not ready, I say go for it Lassr.

I could also run an X-Files or a second Princess Bride (with tweaks) after Lassr's and/or trig's games.

The power cards is an interesting concept and I can't wait to see how it works. I agree with Q, let's see if Trig is ready to run his game, if not, then i also say go for it.

I have my game ready to go, will gauge interest.

I'm interested if it's starts after July 22nd (vacation).

by **purge** » Thu Jul 12, 2012 10:28 am

I am teh interest.

But I don't need to start immediately. I don't mind waiting for Lassr.

by **bb2112** » Fri Jul 20, 2012 11:27 am

With Trig's potentially epic game on hold, maybe we can try the card WW concept? Start sign ups now and Lassr can start the game after the 22nd when he gets back from vacation?

Who is on deck?

I can run one after trig's Monstrumology game.

I have a few ideas kicking around that I'll post soon.

by **triggercut** » Fri Aug 31, 2012 2:37 am

I can run my game, or I can defer.

I'm easy like a Sunday morning!

by **Remus West** » Tue Sep 11, 2012 12:04 pm

Ahem. Who's up?

by **stessier** » Tue Sep 11, 2012 12:04 pm

Almost 2 weeks - I was wondering who was going to break first. Figures it's a wolf.

Given that it's now September (and that trig's Monstrumology premise sounds very cool), it would be a good time for trig to get his game rolling.

If he defers, though, I can put something together by this weekend.

by **Lassr** » Tue Sep 11, 2012 7:25 pm

still a little early for my annual episode of BSG. Maybe after Christmas. Plus I'm ready to play after Modding the last one.

by **triggercut** » Wed Sep 12, 2012 4:13 am

I think we're now fairly seasonal here. Let me re-open signups...but also I want to revisit and look over the rules as well just a bit.

by **Qantaga** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 12:16 pm

It is apparent that we're in a WW lull, but hopefully the interest will rise again soon.

I'll be up to play (or host) whenever the OOWW population gathers again.

X-Com Enemy Unknown rocks!

Also, I'm pondering a Looking for Group themed game. Richard would have the power to "convert" someone to his side by turning them into a skeleton. Due to Richard being one of the "good" guys this would work by killing the player but counting them as a hit point for the village unless they are killed by the wolves. That way you won't have a wolf converted and point out his former compatriots but the good guys can still have a conversion ability.

Hello all!

Long have I waited, little have I watched, but I'm very curious about how forum gaming works here at OO. You folks are obviously having fun here. May I play?

F*rum Gaming, How Do They Work??

by **bb2112** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:09 am

We currently seem to be in a lull. Usually there are a couple games going on at once, but currently there is the one. Mostly the forum plays werewolf, but occasionally we play board games adapted to a forum format. You can observe the current racing game to get a little flavor. I would think someone will get antsy soon and start a werewolf game. Fresh blood is always tasty... I mean... er... welcome. Yes, welcome, that is the word. Werewolf is an easy game to learn and play. So easy, that some have added rules and roles to spice it up.

When a new game starts, you can definitely add your name to the player list. Just watch for a new thread to pop up asking for people to sign up. Rules will be taught at the time of sign up.

by **Lassr** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:35 pm

A simple WW game just ended and it was only 6 pages long. See (WW) Diamonds are Forever. It is the simplest game we play (2 bad guys, 1 seer) Some of the more complicated ones can go 50 pages+.

You can look for some of my BSG games for more complicated ones and can read the last few pages as I usually post all the behind the scenes stuff at the end and you can see how the game went in Reader Digest form. Looks like BSGV was the last game I posted all the spoilers on OO, Link: http://www.octopusoverlords.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1425665#p1425665. Spoilers for the later BSG games are at our other forum where a lot of the bad guy communications and behind the scenes stuff happens. http://ooww.freeforums.org/.

its really simple to play, but hard to master i'd think. People bring a diverse set of skills to the table. Some are natural leaders, some are natural detecters, some are natural deceivers.

Basically the way i like to look at it is two ways.

1. If good = you are trying to solve a mystery of who are the bad guys. YOu're basically a detective, and try to figure it out

2. If Evil = you're trying to stay alive and get away w/ murder (figuratively).

I think we are in a lull at the moment to be honest...which happens as folks desire to recharge their batteries.

Read through the latest one twice. First time try to find the bad guys. Second read through, know who the bad guys are...and see what they did to try to survive.

Thanks for the replies!

I'll keep an eye on things and offer myself as sacrificial rookie the opportunity presents itself.

Got this from ooww.freeforums.org:

Spoiler:

Now, I don't have the password for PuppetMaster since I wasn't the last to host a ooww game, but it seems the account still has my e-mail. So, whoever has the keys to that forum, please do what the overlord says.

I think this is a ploy to get the Puppet Master to self-reveal.

by **Lassr** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 1:22 pm

Yeah, Looks like BB was last with his Star Wars game
