Guide to Hosting
To host a game you need to have your evenings free for the next week ish and also you require a co-host as this is definitely a two man job 👍🏽
Once you have these things just follow the steps and have fun!
1. Post the OP. This preferably goes up before the sign up post as it gives potential players the chance to read through which roles you’re using to see if they fancy it. Be sure to be as detailed as possible with each role. If you can, try to personalise the roles to your game theme. Have fun and use your imagination with it! I have posted a game roles thread which you can use as a guideline to the roles and powers. Be sure to add in the OP the timings such as vote close, lynch, seer name and kill. An example of timings are as follows:
8:00 - Voting closes
8:10 - Lynch posted
8:15 - Seer name sent
8:25 baddies must have given kill name by now. 8:30 - Kill posted.
These timings can be tweaked to suit the gh though as we know that some prefer it slightly earlier or later.
Also, be sure to reserve the first comment in the OP for players list and the second comment for tallies.
2. Post the sign up! Decide how many players in total you want and post the sign up. Be sure to let them know when you aim to start the game and how many players you require. This is when a notebook comes in handy as the order in which the players sign up is normally the numbers you assign to them for use in the rng.
3. Use a random number generator (rng) to assign the roles to players and have all the remaining players as Innocent No Roles. Pm each player with their role and the date/time the game starts.
4. Create a fb or whatsapp “chatzy” for the baddies.
5. Open the game thread at the time you decided and announce the queen.
6. Rng a player and pm to seer.
7. Make sure to get the kills name from the baddies and post your first kill.
8. Update players list with the dead.
9. Then basically from then on you just need to keep a tally, keep checking your inbox and baddie chat, and post lynch and kill at the allotted times and don’t forget to pm seer their name each night!
10. In that notebook I mentioned earlier be sure to have players list wrote down so you can write next to Seer names, LG names, baddies, inno roles etc so you have it handy.
Oh and I’m not sure how all other hosts do it but whenever I’ve co-hosted we split lynch and kill up as follows:
Night 1
Gh1 - Tally and lynch
Gh2 - seer name and kill
Night 2
Gh1 - seer name and kill
Gh2 - Tally and lynch
And just keep alternating it like that.
Have fun and don’t stress too much. We’re all human and have all made plenty of mistakes whilst hosting but that’s fine! Enjoy it 😁
