My apologies for necroing a dead thread but seriously, is anything going to come of this at all? I mean, I wouldn't mind having another big eventually.

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
We need a GM for another big. We should lock down a GM before we do anything else.
The Canadian representative takes the floor.
Before we go any further, we must ask a simple question: is Werewolf dead? For if it is so, 'tis not worth saving through the constitutional convention.

Werewolf has always been dead. That is intrinsic to its nature. What we seek is not to raise it from the dead, but to provide new meat for the rats and maggots that chew upon its corpse to consume.
Constitutional conventions are meant to be long, drawn-out affairs which don't really get started for a while after they are officially begun. I'm sure something will come of it eventually.
If Werewolf is not dead, or undead as some have claimed, then this constitutional convention does indeed have purpose.
To this end, then, may we move on?
I believe there was an attempt to create an understandable and stable ruleset which could be used in the exhibition, but nothing ever came of it. What ruleset should we then use?

I think we want to standardize names such as Werewolf, Villager, Priest, Seer, etc. An exhibition game shouldn't use confusing IC terminology that's only good for one game and makes transition to mainstream games hard.
I agree, as you can see in my proposal earlier in this thread. That reference was a joke, it was one of the most horrible rule sets of all times (but a fun game even so).
Bah. If we're going to use a horrible ancient ruleset, then we simply must use the one from In space no one can hear you scream. There is no alternative!
I think that rule set was pretty standard for its time actually, it was just how The Phoenix applied it that was so out of the box to make it a classic.
It makes sense to me to rewrite the rules from scratch. Their construction will be influenced by existing rulesets, to be sure.
I rewrote the rules for my lite awhile back, but they were more to make them more readable. They also caused some confusion, so if you do rewrite from scratch, be careful with it.

Out of curiosity, is there a feeling that point three is still an immediate issue?
