1420! Taur-in-Gaurhoth Scenarios you'd Like to See

Let's start this off with these:

1. Name a Dead (BD'er that is) you want to see as a werewolf; and why?

2. Name a Dead you want to see as the Ranger; and why?

3. Name a Dead you want to see as the Seer; and why?

4. Name a Dead you want to see as the Hunter; and why?

5. What two Downers would you like to have as fellow werewolves; and why?

6. (suggested by Kath)Name a Dead you would never like to see as a Werewolf; and why?

***************************
Off the top of my head:
1. Anguirel. After WW13, it should be obvious.
2. Eomer. I've seen his excellent use of the Hunter, I'd be interested to see what creative thing he might do with Ranger.
3. Well, me, doggone it! I've always wanted to be the Seer.
4. Mormegil. It'd be fun to see how he would blend his "list of suspects" technique with being the Hunter.
5. Oh, what fun this would be. Let's see..... Feanor & Firefoot. Feanor because she'd be such a whale of a werewolf to plot strategy with, and Firefoot because everybody would just about expect her to be innocent for a long, long time.

Waiting to hear from others.......

1. Name a Dead (BD'er that is) you want to see as a werewolf;

SaucepanMan of course ...don't we all want to see that.....?

2. Name a Dead you want to see as the Ranger; Boromir88 - because of the avatar - setting a wolf to protect the henhouse.

3. Name a Dead you want to see as the Seer; Gil-Galad. Can't you imagine it? Every game he plays everyone is banjaxed deciding what constitutes acting suspiciously in the context of Gil-Galad being Gil-Galad..

4. Name a Dead you want to see as the Hunter; and why?
If I were to play again. Me. My instincts for wolves were quite good in game one and as a wolf I picked the bear .... If not, Mormegil. He has been excellent in all the games I have followed (which is not alas all the games) and I don't think he has been one yet.

5. Lastly (for now), what two Downers would you like to have as fellow werewolves; and why?

Kuruharan and Fea. Lycanthropy was not my forte so I need people who are really good....... Fea was spellbinding in the game I modded .... and Kuru managed to be sufficiently far down the list of suspects for long enough to turn a near disaster into a very impressive victory in game 1

1. Name a Dead (BD'er that is) you want to see as a werewolf; and why?

Oooo!! Me!! Pick me!!! I've alway wanted to be the Wolf, just because i haven't been it yet.

2. Name a Dead you want to see as the Ranger; and why?

Wilwa, just because I think she'd make a good one.

3. Name a Dead you want to see as the Seer; and why?

I'll put Lmp. That way, when he's playing in a game with me, he can dream about me and get his suspicions over with.

4. Name a Dead you want to see as the Hunter; and why?

Hiriel. He did so good in this role that I think he should do it again.

5. Lastly (for now), what two Downers would you like to have as fellow werewolves; and why?

Well. I'll say my dear friends Folwren and Morsul. I've become fairly good friends with both of them so I think we'd be able to come up with a good strategy and win the game.

1. Name a Dead (BD'er that is) you want to see as a werewolf; and why?
Not minding the egocentricism, that would be me, Lhuna. Then, I'll finally have an answer to my perennial question: Why are you suspecting me???

(It hurts not to find a valid reason behind that, y'know.)

2. Name a Dead you want to see as the Ranger; and why?
Firefoot - she usually manages to stay alive for a long time, and I think she can sniff out the innocents (and gifteds) from the cold-blooded villains.

3. Name a Dead you want to see as the Seer; and why?
dancing spawn of ungoliant - she's helpful enough not to be suspected, yet silent enough not to be killed right away.

4. Name a Dead you want to see as the Hunter; and why?
Fordim Hedgethistle. The werewolves in any village will surely be intimidated by his presence and kill him as soon as they can. But before that time comes, he's already aware of at least one of them.

5. Lastly (for now), what two Downers would you like to have as fellow werewolves; and why?
Formendacil, for revenge. () And The Only Real Estel. Maybe then I'll finally stop picking on him for being such a traitor. ()

Much as I appreciate the vote of confidence Lhuna in the two games I've played so far, I was lynched on the first day (for being a loudmouth), and allowed by the wolves to live until the last day (because I was a loudmouth) -- so it would not appear as though I have been terribly intimidating to date!

Perhaps if I adopt a more quiet, solemn, even -- dare I attempt -- contemplative approach...?

1. Name a Dead (BD'er that is) you want to see as a werewolf; and why?
Nilp. One day he has to be suspected for a reason. But I suspect when that day comes no one will lynch him as they'll think it's just him being odd.

2. Name a Dead you want to see as the Ranger; and why?
Me! I want to see if I can make it past the first Day/Night as one.

3. Name a Dead you want to see as the Seer; and why?
Firefoot. She'd know how to make best use of the role I think, and would likely catch a couple of werewolves too.

4. Name a Dead you want to see as the Hunter; and why?
Hmm, difficult. I'll go for Cailin I think. Maybe she can get revenge on Eomer!

5. Lastly (for now), what two Downers would you like to have as fellow werewolves; and why?
Fea is great fun to be a wolf with, mostly because she does all the work and you just stay quiet in the background! As to the other, I think Shelob. Many people often find her suspicious but can't say why, so she might get by on benefit of the doubt!

I'd like to make an additional question though lmp if I may?
Name a Dead you would never like to see as a Werewolf; and why?
Under that I'll put Firefoot. In the last game I had a fear of a triad involving her, and the skill it would take to uncover a lie from her, that's just scary!

You know, I tried that in WW13 but it didn't even last for a day. Bloody things called "ideas" and "plans" keep asserting themselves in my mind, and I can't stifle 'em, so out they come and I turn into a loudmouth again!

the phantom. At least not in a game I'm an innocent villager in. I tend to respect his analytical ability too much, and therefore I'd tend to assume he's innocent. Bad bad bad.

And now for: Part B of Scenarious You'd Like to See....

Let this be the place where you share ideas for wrinkles on the werewolf game you'd like to see tried.

Here's one: see, the players are generally getting so good at finding werewolves (despite some villagers' retort to the contrary) that I think we could stand to have fewer gifteds per game.

I got this idea to replace the Ranger and Hunter with one gifted called Elven Warrior. This person is incognito.

Let's say Lhuna is our elven warrior. She uses her elven arts to appear no different than humans. She combines the roles of both Hunter and Ranger. Being far-seeing, she can look for the werewolf as the Hunter, while guarding the person of her choice. So she'd get two picks per night: one to guard, one to hunt. It would be oxymoronic to pick the same person with both picks, so I guess she can't do that. So anyway.

Any thoughts? How would it play out? What are the pros? cons? Let's have it.
