Werewolf Championship Season 2 - You're Invited to Participate!

Hi guys

So as some of you probably know baudib1 reached out to me and asked if you guys could be represented in season 2 of the Werewolf Championships. To those who don't know what I'm talking about: In 2013-2014 I hosted a championship series featuring 100+ of the very best werewolf players from 45+ different communities who competed against each other. The best of the best advanced to the finale game where an ultimate winner was crowned.

It's now time for season 2 and I hope you guys are still interested in being represented.

It's completely up to you how you go about choosing your representative. I would only ask that you make sure that the person will be able to read and post a lot more than they're probably used to. It won't be quite as insane as the first season, seeing as it will just be 13-player games this time, but it will still require a great deal of activity.




Here's the info:

The current plan for season 2

• 65 different communities will be represented.
• 1 player per community for the entire season (preferably).
• 5 qualifying games will be played with 13 players each.
• 2 players advance to the finale from each game based on post-game votes.
• 3 additional players are granted wildcard spots.

Game setup

The game will have a very basic mafia setup: 3 mafia members, 9 vanilla townies and 1 cop. The cop starts the game with a random vanilla townie peek. Roles revealed upon death.

Some communities are not very used to playing basic setups like this, but for the first season, we utilized a setup with a good share of power roles, so this time around we are trying something new. For season 3 we will switch it up again.

Days will last 36 hours and nights 12 hours, meaning 48 hours (2 days) per game day. With one exception: The weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) will be one game day (so day will be 60 hours and night 12 hours on weekends). This means the game will last a maximum of 2 weeks.

Timeline

The first game is set to start April 6th. The other four games will take place in the 1-3 months after that. I will make a Doodle and find out the best times to start the 5 games so that preferably everyone gets to play during a time that suits them well.

In addition to this, it is also a priority to ensure as much as possible that all the players in any given game has no prior history of playing with each other to ensure a level playing field (but I cannot 100 % guarantee that this won’t happen).
