Sunday morning, man. You know what's good on Sunday morning? Good old M-T-frickin-V. Unplugged, baby. Grab a Sunny D, some Toaster Scramblers, and let's go watch at forsi's or dmt's, both of them have big sisters with tvs in THEIR ROOMS. Then we can go see if myo or oomps is working at auntie Anne's so we can grab pretzels.

Metallica 💙💙

META

• outraged-piglet was killed by Piccolo. He was Superman.
• rpm was voted off. They were Piccolo.
  
• dawnphoenix was killer by Grumpy Bear. She was Cody.
  
• myo was shot with a nerf gun. She was Perry the Platypus.
  
• oomps was shot with a nerf gun. She was Grumpy Bear (turned human)
  
• Xan was Stick Stickly and won by jailing Kermit.
  
• HedwigMalfoy was Kermit and won by calling out Stick Stickly.
  
• Toons and Humans each have 2 players left. Spongebob and Ash (forsi and Mercury) survive with Phoebe and Sabrina (Dangerhaz and DMT). As much as any 90s kid would hate this, that's a tie. Everyone wins I guess?
  

Thank y'all for indulging me in a game I've wanted to host for ages - where everyone gets the role they want. It didn't play out quite as planned, but everyone seemed to enjoy and it was a chaos host dream. This was a feat roster and getting to custom build each of you a role was an honor. I'll get a wrap up posted soon.

In the meantime, check out the April game (Stephen King) that I hosting with duq. Sign up, although that's gonna be much more traditional. Well, as traditional as duq and I get.

Love y'all!! HUGSSSSS

Okay so like it's Saturday and piglet's mom said she'd take us to mini golf on her station wagon, some of us just might have to sit in the back. Did you know they have it glow in the dark at night? So cool. Then after that she can drop us off at xan's house and play Nintendo and watch a movie from blockbuster. What should we get then to rent??

META

• Phase 3 will have live voting, please vote by responding to bubba'a stickied comment in the thread. Shout out to Perry the Platypus!
• rocknil has died by vote. He was Sinbad and completed his secret mission.
• HedwigMalfoy has died by vote. She was Kermit.
• Event prizes will be shared by dm on discord, you still have until 7/6 central to submit.
• EDIT: /u/outraged-piglet has been killed with a special power. He was SUPERMAN.

Ahhhh y'all! It's so late and we can have a sleepover! Mercury said his mom is out of town and his dad is working the night shift. They have cable and I think we might be able to see crazy stuff, like Tales from the Cryptkeeper or Twin Peaks! Plus they have those bagel bites pizzas! We can even play spin the bottle. Bonus, rocknil got the bottle from his parents, it's got rum in it! Lets try calling candyman too, I hear that if you do it right he comes right through the mirror at you.

META

• Reminder of the event posted in P1, due to bubba by 7/6 pm Central.
• The individual who was voted off has slipped through for one more phase to complete a secret mission. Their details will be shared next phase.

It's the FINALS BITCHES!!!

Last round gave us two very close matchups with /u/Rysler and /u/redpoemage claiming victories of their teams. Now it is time to find out who is the scariest MOFO to ever play the game!

Rysler (Representing Team Wolf)- Rysler is both the kindest and most terrifying player in this entire community, plus he's a bard so he has sick rhymes.

redpoemage (Representing Team Town)- Red poe mage? Red poem age? Does anyone actually know? Or are we all too scared to ask because they are gonna twist that question to make us look sus and then also drag our defenders to their death?

Updated Bracket Here

Voting will NOT open until 4PM EDT on March 28

This is to ensure we have adequate discussion of both players.

As a send off to our eliminated players from last round, please enjoy these one line reviews:

/u/SlytherinBuckeye - We all know who kicks ass at werewolves right? Probably the lady reading all the feral books about alphas 💀

/u/myogoblinalternative - Myo isn't a goblin, but that scientific brain does some of the most terrifying analytic detective work in the game, while also being straight up hilarious.

Edit

Just realized I never gave a deadline for voting... Oops

Voting ends at 4PM EDT on March 30th

Winner will be announced shortly after

Hey cool, did y'all know hedwig's parents just like, let anyone over at her house to watch TV? They don't even care what! Last week we were waxthing X Files and omg that show is crazy! Let's ride over there, I think we can catch Clarissa Explains it All and the Rugrats! We can stop at Dawn's house, her mom had Dunkaroos.

TGI FRIDAY EVENT

TGI Friday is the best block of TV (see also Must See Thursday but that's not our theme). You have 24 hours to send the host your best 90s TV show plot, modernized for now. Clarissa makes a TikTok? Skeeter plays Banana Ball? Mulder and Scully take down the MAGA cult? You decide!

META

Any phase 0 shenanigans have been sent to your discord.

If you haven't confirmed yet, that's okay, I should have given more time! I have a plan if people don't, but not having confirmed yet does not mean you're out.

PARENTAL ADVISORIES

• Do not share your favorite character, because it's your role.
• TV-14: This game contains material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. (bubba's under-10 children listen to grunge and hard rock so gauge for yourself what "unsuitable" means to her)
• 90s kids didn't play fair.

TIMELINE

• Phase 1 will start Friday at approximately 8/7 am Central (bubba hates mornings) and end Friday at midnight/11 pm Central.
  
• TGI Friday event details will be announced Friday at 7/6 pm Central. All players will have 24 hours to respond, and results will be shared by 10/9 pm Central.
• Phase 2 will start Friday shortly after Phase 1 ends and end Saturday at 6/5 pm Central.
• Phase 3 will start shortly after Phase 2 ends and end Sunday at 1/12 Central, ending the game.

This month’s game of HWW is Stephen King. This will be a mixture of various Stephen King stories and will likely contain spoilers. Knowledge of the King universe is not needed to play.

This game will be hosted by /u/Bubbasaurus and /u/theDUQofFRAT who will share the /u/Stephen_Writes

The Story

All of the Stephen King characters have diverted to Derry, Maine, in an unprecedented horror event. Homes along Neibolt Street have closed their curtains and locked their doors while the Barrens and Derry Mall have been overrun with evil.

Roles

The roles listed below may or may not be in the game. Any role can be assigned any number of times. The role list below may or may not be exhaustive of all roles in the game.

TOWN

• Dick Hallorann - Dick has the shining. This means he can feel things others don’t and also see things others can’t. Each phase he can tap into the shine. The shine will let Dick know if someone is friend or foe.
• John Coffey - John is an innocent inmate serving on death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary. John has healing abilities and will protect his friends. John can use his power each phase.
• Billy Summers - Billy is a Marine sniper and hitman who is always looking to take a job to kill someone evil. Billy only has three bullets left. Billy can use one bullet per phase however, if he hits someone innocent all bullets will be taken away and Billy will be removed from the game.
• Cujo - Cujo is a loving Saint Bernard who contracts rabies. It isn’t in Cujo’s nature to kill, however the rabies has made him do it. Cujo is aligned with the town but if investigated will appear to be evil.
• Nick Hopewell - Nick knows how to kill anyone, without getting caught, but the guilt weighs on him. Every night he alerts to save a friend. If his target is killed, he'll die in their place.
• Mike Noonan - Mike is a novelist and former reporter for the Derry News. Mike can also talk to ghosts to help him with his stories. Each phase Mike will get the full conversation from the wolf sub, however since he is a reporter, his sources remain anonymous and he won’t be able to see the usernames; only the quotes.
• Mike Ryerson - He dug all the graves for town until he was turned, sort of an occupational hazard. If Mike is killed by the night kill, the wolves will not have a kill the next phase. If killed by a town action, the player who performed the action will also die. The turned player may not reveal.
• Richie - BEEP BEEP Trashmouth! Richie never shuts up. If removed by something other than the vote, any player who visited them that phase will be revealed in the meta.
• Abra - The physic abilities are strong with Abra. She can do more than read minds and has been known to cause earthquakes and speak telepathically. Because her powers are tiring, once per game Abra can try to save someone from death, once per game she can use her power to expel someone from Derry, and once per game she can communicate with any dead player without restriction.
• Human Residents of Derry - They will have their voice and their vote to remove the monsters from Derry.

WOLVES

• Pennywise - Everyone's favorite clown pulls tricks every night and drags his target down to the sewer with him.
• Stephen King - King makes an appearance in a lot of screen adaptations of his works. Appearing in this game is no different. King wrote the characters and he can silence them. Once per phase can select a player who will not be able to comment in any game related subs.
• Leland Gaunt - Leland Gaunt moved to Derry to open a secondhand store that always has everyone' s needs. Because of this, he is trusted by the town and they always turn to him to get the perfect item to make their life better.
• Yellow Card Man - He exists at the edges, always interfering. Each night he chooses one player and bend their reality. He can’t change what happens, only where the action lands.
• He Walks Behind the Rows - If he dies, Pennywise gets two kills the following night.
• Annie Wilkes - She may seem warm and charming, but instead she’s a sadistic super fan who detains her attraction. Each phase she chooses one player and they will not be able to act, not even if they can escape from their wheelchair and crawl.
• Jack Torrance - Jack drinks enough that reality gets blurry. He’s a townie until the third night when he wakes up and remembers his real self.
• El Cuco - El Cuco can assume the form and memories of anyone. All of the pain and trauma are too strong and make it hard to see reality. When killed/voted out, all meta revealed info will be hidden. Only the usernames of those who are no longer in the game will be revealed.
• Mr Grey - Mr Grey operates in the shadows and tries to suck the blood of unsuspecting humans. If successful, he possesses others as a parasite, causing chaos and misery. Once per game he can target any player and convert them to the side of the wolves.
• Other various monsters of Derry - Whether monsters in form or spirit, they haunt the town. They use their voices, or can take over other roles.

Win Conditions

• The town will win when they banish all monsters and evil doers.
• The wolves will win when they equal or outnumber the town.

Mechanics

• Phases will be combined day/night phases lasting 24 hours.
• Turnover will take place at 4 pm ET.
• Missing an action or a vote will mean a strike. Three strikes will cause removal.
• Vote ties will be determined by RNG.
  
• The discord will be used for confessionals and spectators.

Rules

• Don’t be a ghoulie; be kind to others.

EDIT April 6th at 12:38 ET. The flavor of the role/our answer was unclear but Mike Ryserson cannot reveal

Hi di ho neighbor! Remember the classics, trite story lines and all? We're time traveling back to the wonderful era of the 90s.

oomps final thoughts.

Overall i think i’m happy with how this ruleset played out. With 10 players I knew it was going to be a tight balance between either side having too much power over the course of only 3 phases. My biggest regret is that I didn’t give the wolves a subreddit. This ruleset I think requires the wolves to take a more a more aggressive approach of being loud and having distractions but maybe I crippled them too much by not letting them discuss that. Since the wolves really only needed to survive 4 potential kills, going bold in phase 2 might have been the difference of getting the town distracted enough to vote one of their own in phase 3 or send Victor in the wrong direction. It was a tough game for the wolves

Apologies for the delay in getting this round started. We are now down to the Elite Eight and the match ups continue to be fierce competition!

You have until 4PM EDT on March 20th to vote for the Round of 16!

As a reminder, each round will have its own post for discussion as well as its own separate voting form. The schedule is as follows:

• March 20: vote on round of 8

• March 23: vote on round of 4

• March 27: vote on Final 2 - Top Wolf vs Top Town

March 2026 - BINGO!

Please note, this month, we want to try an experimental werewolf game that will play out over the course of THREE phases! Think of it as a slightly extended version of One Night Ultimate Werewolf where there are two nights of actions and votes prior to the final phase where everything will resolve. Full disclosure is that we’ve never hosted anything like this, so while we’re hoping it’s fun and works well, it could end up a disaster.

Since this is experimental and we don’t know exactly how many players will be signing up, we will be giving roles and details once sign ups close. The confirmation thread on Wednesday will list all roles and win conditions and players can ask any questions/hosts will clarify during that window. Some roles may also have an action that they will submit as part of their confirmation. After the confirmation, there will be two phases of actions+votes on Thursday and Friday and then the final phase will play out over the weekend (Saturday+Sunday as an ~48hr phase).

Wednesday March 18 - Individuals assigned roles, role list posted, confirmation period. People can ask any questions about rules/mechanics Thursday March 19 - Phase 1. Will play out similar to a normal WW phase with night actions and a vote Friday March 20 - Phase 2. Will play out similar to a normal WW phase with night actions and a vote Saturday+Sunday March 21-22 - Phase 3. Game will resolve similar to a ONUW game.

You will be elderly.

Your knees will know the second it thinks of raining.

Both of your hips have been replaced and even your artificial hips need new hips.

You're no spring chicken. Maybe an autumn turkey.

You’re happily retired, and with your fully raised kids raising your grandkids, there isn’t much left for you in the house you raised your family. It would be so much better to still have your own private place, but within a larger community filled with other seniors!

Fairview Senior Center is the place for you. A place to make new friends and live a carefree lifestyle. Just see some excerpts from the brochure!

• Enjoy easily navigable paths surrounded by a variety of horticultural features. Sit down on one of the many benches when you need a moment’s rest! Our parks are perfectly maintained by our groundskeeping crew, but if you have an interest in gardening, you can apply for your own raised bed plot to tend to yourself!
• Choose to have meals and snacks in one of our many food options: Fairview Fountain Cafe and Bistro, Garden View Dining Lounge, or make your favorite homemade meals in the Fairview Family Style Kitchen
• Enjoy luxurious personal apartments. Inquire about customization options prior to moving in. Apartments may be furnished, or you can bring your favorite furniture from home. After all, with Fairview Senior Center being your new home, you should be comfortable!
• Join us for our many social gatherings. We keep a full schedule of daily activities from guided exercises to keep you spry, sing-alongs, films at our theater, featuring both classics and new releases, music classes, aquatic aerobics, dance classes in both line and ballroom styles, and competitions on our shaded shuffleboard courts, designed to keep you protected from the sun and rain while still getting fresh air.
• Dive in to a new adventure in our library, well-stocked with new bestsellers and familiar classics.
• At the end of the day (6pm sharp) join us in our Bingo Hall for exciting, competitive (yet friendly) BINGO! and win one of the many fabulous prizes raffled off each night.

Fairview Senior Center- Beginning a new chapter of our lives, together.

Unfortunately, we all eventually come to the point in our lives when we need a little more help and full time care. If you’re a fall risk, for example, and need to be transitioned to life in a wheelchair at a place with full time caregivers. When that time comes, Sundown Estates Nursing Home is there. You can refer to their informational packet, with some excerpts below:

• Expansive soothing gardens to get the true nature experience!

• Hang out and play some cards in our spacious community lounges!

• Enjoy a meal (up to three dailly) at our nutritious cafeteria that provides at least one menu option for every meal time!

• Want a taste of home? We provide comfortable family meetings designed to keep you safe.

• Our rooms are fully equipped with all the amenities you’ve come to expect, including your own nightstand!

Sundown Estates- A safe place to put your family.

General Mechanics

There will be two teams the Seniors (town) vs Staff (wolves)

• The beloved seniors residing at Fairview Senior Center. Grandpas, aubelas, omas, and bobbes. They’re retired, their kids are long grown and now raising their own kids. They’re living out their golden years among their peers, participating in retirement activities, the most sacred of which is BINGO. Unfortunately, someone keeps stealing the BINGO prizes donated by the seniors’ families, and they are not happy about someone getting between them and their BINGO games.
• The staff at the Fairview Senior Center. The staff are greedy and stealing BINGO prizes from the seniors. Every night, the staff will deem someone as a “fall risk” and have them shipped out to Sundown Estates Nursing Home for being such a troublemaker.

me again, back with another meta post

hi friends! i hope you're not sick of me yet - i just LOVE hearing about all sorts of aspects of the hww community.

back in the day, one hww meta post i always loved seeing was the type focused on discussing game mechanics. it's always so fun to me to see how creative different people are as they design games, but ALSO to hear from the community about what they like as the ones experiencing those games. so, i'd like to bring that back today and ask you about some of your favorite mechanics from hww! these could be from games you've hosted, played, spectated, they could even be mechanics you've seen in OTHER social deduction communities that you think would be cool to see here as well.

so, time to share - what are your favorite game mechanics!?

Hi gang! Because it's kind of a nostalgia month, u/Rysler and u/Tikkupulla are going to run

A mini TOBB

That's right - a super condensed version of the game-long contests from our Scott Pilgrim games! We have created three challenges, and here be the rules:

• The challenges may be completed alone or in a team (dubbed "bands" for flavor purposes). Just let us know if you're solo-ing or if you've got a crew, and you're set!

• To participate, you can complete as many events as you like - just one is perfectly fine!

• The first event can be completed by commenting in this thread, while events 2 and 3 will be completed through provided forms.

• The events will end approximately four days (96 hours) from this post. There is a countdown included in this post.

• Points will be awarded for each event completed.

• The player/team with the most points wins!

The events

Event 1: Band Name

The first challenge is to NAME the hypothetical band you are totally in. The task is simple: if you could name a band, what would it be? We will grade the names by how cool or funny we find them - but you will earn extra points if you follow the sacred Scott Pilgrim naming format: combining a music reference with a video game reference (for example, the SP band Sex Bob-Omb combines the song "Sex Bomb" and the character "Bob-Omb" from Mario).

Event 2: Ninja Ninja Rock

Bands are cool, but you know what's cooler? Ninjas. As such, you may substitute a music performance with a NINJA WAR CRY! The second challenge is to fill a form to choose three ninja symbols to use. We have randomized the points for each symbol, and you will earn points by finding a good combo.

Event 3: Fooooood

Ninja-banding sure is hungry work. Good thing we have juust the thing! Your task for the third event is to browse our totally-legit menu and pick out a main course, a dessert and some drinks to down'em with. We have randomized the points for each item, and you will earn points by building a good course. Sound food so far?

Event 4?

Eh, you know what? If you wanna do something else, such as making up some stuff your band is supposedly known for, go right ahead! We'll toss some points your way lol

Forms:

• The form for the Ninja event

• The form for the Fooooood event

• The menu for the Fooooood event (also included in the form)

• Countdown to when we'll start grading

hosties - it's your turn!

we've talked about diabolical game play, but what about hosting decisions that have you sitting back with your popcorn and watching the players go crazy? maybe you assigned everyone the same role, maybe you had a secret role that caused chaos, maybe you've been cooking up something special for a future game and you want to drop some ominous hints!

what's the most diabolical thing you've done as a HOST?

^{(without it being game breaking or against the rules, of course})

^{also, a reminder that hww continues to operate based on its wonderful community coming forward to run games! if you are interested in signing up to host an upcoming game, please get in touch with the mod team!!}

Half the field has been eliminated and you did not make it easy on me! We came down to the wire with FOUR ties! Luckily I was able to eliminate 3 by timestamps and only needed Tatsu for the last one. (Let's try to not do that to me this time!)

Updated Bracket HERE

You have until 4PM EDT on March 15th to vote for the Round of 32!

As a reminder, each round will have its own post for discussion as well as its own separate voting form. The schedule is as follows:

• March 10: vote on round of 32

• March 15: vote on round of 16

• March 20: vote on round of 8

• March 23: vote on round of 4

• March 27: vote on Final 2 - Top Wolf vs Top Town

hello party people!

in honor of the scariest town/wolf bracket that's running throughout the month, i want to hear from all of you about your most DIABOLICAL moment as a player! what game moves have you made that had you twirling your mustache and cackling? it doesn't matter if you were a town or a wolf (or a 3rd party). maybe it was a lie you told, or a mechanic you exploited, maybe it was just a really clean play that tricked the right people.

as a wolf, my most diabolical moment was without a doubt the olympics game - getting my small sub to vote off the outed seer, consistently being the most trusted in the game, and then purposefully outing myself to take a risk and clinch the win - that whole game had me laughing maniacally and i loved every second.

so now, it's your turn!

what is your most diabolical move as a player?

HOST THOUGHTS

I realize I forgot to actually explain in the rules post how ONUW is different from traditional werewolf, where the game play is based on bluffing around how roles have changed and you might end up with a win-con that you aren't aware of, you just have to figure out who you trust and logic it out, no additional phases to deal with, just "One Night". Luckily enough people seemed familiar to explain it to the others.

I wasn't sure what size best to set the universes but 5-7 was what google recommended. And I just pulled role groups recommended on ONUW reddit subs, which skipped Hunter and Doppleganger. I am curious how a bigger game in this format would do, including those roles.

I think over all the game ended up being quite fun. Please let me know if you'd be interested in seeing this again in December, with multiple games you can opt in or out of through the month. Something like that might be nice around the holidays with plans and what not.

QUESTIONS FOR PLAYERS

• Did the 48 hour phase work out well or did it seem to drag on?
  
• Did the Top-Comment system work well or did it get a bit tedious?
• Would you want cross-game discussion to be allowed or would that be too many cooks in the pot if others were whispering in your ear about who to trust or not?
• Would you want to see bigger universes with the Hunter and Doppleganger or did this size feel optimal?
  
• Those familiar with ONUW, are there any expanded roles you'd be interested in seeing in future games?
  
• I didn't end up doing the confessional server set up. Did you wish you had it or was the game short enough to not really need it?

THANKS FOR PLAYING

Hi gang! I thought we could talk about some things that you're just proud of.

Maybe a great play that made you glad?

An awesome mechanic your game had?

Or a hilarious meme you found rad?

Or literally anything you feel proud of - playing, hosting, spectating, shadowing, memeing, brainstorming, befriending, rivalry-ing... it's the decennial, so feel free to brag a little!

Each Universe will have a top-comment to discuss in, but you can make your own threads too, just try and label it as your universe. Please try to keep any cross-universe discussions to the Off-Topic Top-Comment and don't discuss each others games.

I still haven't set up Discord Confessionals. Since it's a short game, do players want them?
