[werewolf] variant idea

[Mark Hartwell <hartwell@copper.net>]

ok: first part is a fixed time end point for all turns.  i think perhaps 
that should be over-rideable by all players agreeing to an "end turn" 
vote.  but that's not the idea i want to sell today:

today, is the hartwell, secret vote variant

say there's 5 players named A B C D E

if A votes to lynch B then
C D E get a message saying A has voted
A gets a message saying A voted for B
B gets a message saying A voted for B and now, B you have 1 vote.

then play as normal ... so everyone knows who has and hasn't turned in 
their votes (think match game: "I'M IN, GENE!")  and everyone knows how 
many votes they have, and who those votes are from.

(I suppose another variant could be not knowing who voted for you also 
... but that might not be interestig.)

the chats would be interesting, because anything you claim (about who 
you voted for and who voted for you) isn't neccisarily provable (until 
the end of the turn)

i suppose changing votes would still be allowed.

if A changed his mind and decided to vote for C then
A gets a message saying he voted for C
B gets a message saying that A changed his vote from him, and B now has 
N votes.
C gets a message saying that A voted for him, and C now has N votes.
D and E get messages saying that A changed his vote.  (or voted again?)
