I would be more than willing to try and pull together a huge game, but
the problem is that we only have about 4500 undergrads at our school.
200 would be a sizable portion of our student body, but I'm sure with
my connections across campus that I could get a good crowd. I don't
have any copies of the game, though, so I'll need to pick some up
before then. It'll be a good time, and really good practice on
moderating this game.
Sincerely,

Shane - this is awesome! Let's play AYAW? on Halloween!
We just signed off on the proofs, and it goes on press on Tuesday, so
we will have a new edition of AYAW? shipping in late September - lots
of werewolves in plenty of time for Halloween...
I think the 116 players that Billy counted at 2
A.M. on Sunday night
at Dragon*Con is the largest collection of simultaneous villages I've
heard of. What about adding to your challenge, the challenge to
break the 200 player mark on number of players?
I'd be happy to send 14 free demo copies of the game to any Rabbit
who wants to try to break the 200 player mark - and has the event
scheduled with their university to have a room available that has
14 circles of 15 chairs - that's 210 chairs! Yikes, maybe that's
just crazy talk. How would you go about getting 200+ students to
gather in a room at the student union to try to break this record?
Or is that bigger than what you were thinking to try to run? :)
I'd say go for 100 players - but that has now already been done!
Obviously a much smaller event would also be wonderful...
Please continue to report on your progress with your college
activities folks, let us know what you need from us to support
whatever you end up deciding to organize!
The timing on this is just about perfect, with two months to plan,
and a specific target date to hold the event on, and a theme that
fits, and a game that's great with a crowd. What better than
Werewolf on Halloween!

P.S. Has anyone ever measured how much square footage a circle
of 15 chairs takes up?
