Would anyone be interested in playing a deduction-style social game, like The Resistance or One Night Ultimate Werewolf here? I am willing to act as a moderator for the purposes of secret voting and accountability. Let me know.

I've never heard of it - what is it?
I am the Wordweaver...
Basically, I like writing stuff ;)
They are both team games of hidden roles, with one team trying to subvert the other. The trick is that, usually, only one side knows who is on their team.

I'm a big Resistance fan, and would be happy to play either :D

Ahhh, and I liked that Meerkat.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

I'd be willing to play, but if this is a forum thing, there may be long stretches of time no one hears from me.
Good ideas are usually just bad ideas a stubborn person eventually fixed.
I'm in for Resistance for sure
Not a fan of resistance, but Werewolf would be cool.
McBehrer is the sole winner of this game... And McBehrer, I would step carefully should you find your way down dark alleys. More than one vote said simply, "McBehrer must die."
McBehrer confirmed to be Biomancer!

So is it an RPG, then? How exactly do you play?

I'm thinking that One Night Ultimate Werewolf will be a little easier to run as a first-time experiment.
Rabk, I know you said Resistance, but would you be willing to give that a try?
The idea of the game is that everyone gets a secret role. All of the roles are either on the Werewolf team or the Villager team. During the Night Phase of the game, the roles perform their actions (e.g. Werewolves finding out their teammates, The Seer peeking at someone's role, etc.). After that is all done, the Day Phase begins. This is where all the players discuss one person they want to accuse of being a Werewolf and lynch. After a limited time of discussion, a vote is held. The opposing team of the player voted for wins! It's pretty simple. I'll be handling all the stuff done in secret through private messages, then I will be setting an amount of time for discussion. Sound fun?

Not really no.
A reasonable summary of the events of Resistance can be found here but the game is really played in the discussions on why people should or should not vote for a particular team or why they think X is a spy, it's more like a witch hunt with formal rules.
EDIT: One night werewolf has just finished a PbF game on BGG, you can read the thread here
Stop lurking, it makes you look like a villain target
When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all
I've played a version of this game called Mafia. I'm totally in.
Good ideas are usually just bad ideas a stubborn person eventually fixed.
Yup, Mafia is a similar game. The main difference is that we are playing the One Night version here. The Werewolves don't kill anyone overnight, and the game is over in one round.

Wanna convert me? ;)
Just assume I'm always doing that.
Damn it, Ronway!
Oh gods. If you think CE and Resistance are arguing to choose the winner, you'll hate ONUW. But you're welcome to join.

I actually don't mind regular Werewolf so much because it doesn't try to present itself to me as anything other than arguing to choose the winner (or the loser, more accurately). Haven't tried the One Night version.

Alright! I'll put you down, as well.

Alright. If I can get one more person, I'll start right away. I can take up to four more.

I'm fine for whatever Werewolf variant as well.
Super. I've got you on the list.
I plan on starting the game around 2 Eastern time. I'll start a new thread explaining the rules, send you all private messages, and we'll be good to go.

Ah, so it sounds like "everyone plots about stuff and then picks whom to gang up on"...so even though it seems like I've missed my chance to sign up in between leaving for work this morning and logging on in the evening, it doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd be interested in anyway.
