The Werewolf Game (TWG)

Right, so Wikipedia can explain the massively fine details of it if you so desire, but I shall go through the basic rules now.

TWG is a forum game. Forum games are played by posting messages within the game thread or by PMing other players of the game. This particular game has both "night" and "day" times (to be decided when everyone has joined up). Players are given a role and are part of 2 groups: the werewolves, or the villagers. Werewolves have to try and kill enough villagers so that they can overpower the town and take control. There are also special rules, depending on the experience of the players, and the number of players. It's very fun, and a great way to bring a community even closer together!

Now for some more detailed rules. As this is the first (to my knowledge) time THN has run TWG, we will use a more basic rule set, listed below.
  • The game has 2 times, day and night.
  • Players are split into two groups:
    • Villagers - This group of innocents have found that their town has recently been cursed with a werewolf presence. During the days, they band in the town square, throwing accusations and suspicions around at who they think the werewolves are. At the end of everyday, the town's folk vote on a member to be lynched. This person is then killed, and can no longer play. At night, the villagers can but sleep, and hope the werewolves don't try to eat them!
    • Werewolves - This group of players appear as normal villagers during the day, casting accusations on others to try and avoid being found out. But at night, they transform to the awful beasts they truly are, and can choose one person to prey upon. And eat. Nice!
  • The villagers do have one special person to help them find the killer though! One person within the village has been blessed with the gift of being a Seer. Each night, instead of sleeping, they can call to the gods to find out the nature of one villager of their choosing. But they can be eaten by the wolves as well, so must watch out for their own life!
How the game works:
  • Before the game begins, each person wanting to play posts up in this thread saying they want to join. You have (approximately) 24 hours from when I post this thread to join.
  • When everyone has joined/I say so, I will randomly assign roles to each player. There will be 1 Seer and number wolves. Everyone else will be a villager. If there is less then 8 players, there will be 1 wolf. 8-12 players, there will be 2 wolves. More than 12 players, 3 wolves. If there are more than 12 players, there may also be a Guardian Angel. We shall see.
  • Everyone will know how many wolves there are at the beginning of the game. Wolves will know who the other wolves are.
  • The game will start at the beginning of the first night.
  • During the night, each wolf will PM me who they wish to feast upon. In the event of a tie between a number of players, one of the players will be randomly chosen.
  • During the night, the Seer can PM me the name of one person whom they will to ask the gods about. If the Seer is alive the next morning, they will be told.
  • If we are playing with the Guardian Angel, a person blessed by the luck of the gods, that player can protect one person (except themselves) each night. They can protect wolves or villagers, and will not be told the person's nature.
  • If the wolves attack the Guardian Angel, that person has a 1 in 10 chance of protecting themselves. They will not, however, be able to make out who attacked them.
  • At dawn, the a villager will find the unlucky victim of the night before, and will inform the rest of the town, who will come flooding to see. Usually, this person is alive, and can post once as a dying breath. They can say whatever they like, as long as it is only 1 line, and no more then 50 words (that's being generous)!
  • Villagers have all day to talk about who they believe are the werewolves, and to submit votes to myself via PM.
  • When day ends, I will post who has been lynched, and remind the wolves and Seer to PM me (if they are alive). If all wolves are dead, the village will be informed. And win!
  • And so each cycle of the game repeats.
  • If you wish to change your vote during the day, or if a wolf/Seer wishes to change their vote at night, I will only consider the newest PM I receive. But please don't spam me :(
So, if you feel like playing the game, reply to this thread! If enough people are interested, at around 5pm BST 12th April 2007, I will start the game! If you have a problem with this time zone, tell me in your reply, and I will try to sort something out :)

Enjoy!

Ok, the first night will start tonight at 5pm BST (my local time) that is 4pm GMT, but I'll be working in BST. Sorry :)

Some rules for this game:
  • Normally, night will begin at around 10pm BST (except when stated). This is a flexible time on my part due to real life commitments.
  • Day will start at 7am each day. Ish. Again, depending on real life commitments.
  • The end of each day (and, hence, start of each night) will be marked by my post stating the end of the day. This post will remind villagers that they are asleep, also well as reminding wolves and the Seer to PM me.
  • Before the end of each day (which can be assumed to be 10pm at the earliest), each player should post in the thread, in bold, the name of the person they wish to lynch. It's a town vote. Only the latest vote will count, so please do not edit your posts other then to de-boldify your last vote (unless the post breaks any of the forum rules, etc) as it will make things confusing. Once you post, that's it. It's meant to be a discussion in a town square, and you can't take back spoken words, you have to try and worm your way out of them!
  • The end of each night (and, hence, start of each day) will also be marked by a post by myself.
  • No posts can be posted between the night post and the morning post I provide. All discussion in the thread should be kept during the day, so use PMs (which I obviously can't control :)).
  • Anyone breaking the rules the first time will have their vote for the next lynching ignored. Anyone breaking the rules after the first time will probably fall down a well, or something. And not escape.

I would ask only players to post in this thread, and only post in character. Please keep off-topic stuff to a minimum. Thanks! :D

So far the player list is
  • Ronin Storm
  • Piacular
  • Taffy
  • waterproofbob
  • Nanor
  • thatbloke
  • pHatBambi
  • Tetsuo_Shima
  • Sephiroth
  • Behind_You
If you wish to join the game, you have until 5pm BST to sign up! PMs stating roles will be sent at this time. The first post of the game will also be put up at this time, at which time the wolves and Seer can PM me (at any time until 7am BST tomorrow) telling me who they want to eat/see.

Until then, thank you all for signing up! I look forward to this :)

A dreadful evil has descended upon the sleepy village called New Haven; a town so remote and peaceful the population is less then 20. One of the villagers, that went by the name of Omea, had stolen a rare artifact from a druid. What this artifact was, it does not matter, for the druid killed Omea with a bolt of lightning as soon as he had stepped out of the druid's house.
What does matter is that the druid was so angry, so furious, so blinded by rage at what Omea had tried to do, at the same moment he burnt Omea's body to a crisp, he also placed a curse on all those that knew and liked him. And yes, everyone in the village LOVED Omea. Even though he was a thief.

This curse that he put on the village of New Haven, this disgusting feat that he lay onto the land, was that two of the villagers could become beasts of the night. Werewolves. With the blood lust that was carried with their new forms, the beasts would go out each night feasting on their brothers within the village.

But, oh, how the Gods loved to toil with mere mortal's lives. Upon seeing the evil that had been spawned in the village, the Gods sent forth the gift of True Sight to one person. That person could, each night, call upon the Gods to reveal the nature of one person within the villager. But convincing the other villagers of their visions might not be so easy.

IT IS NOW NIGHT
PMs are being sent. Morning will start at 7am BST.
  • Villagers - Sleep. Do nothing but pray you make it to morning.
  • Seer - Start your chanting and ask the Gods (in private mind you) to reveal the identity of one person of your choosing.
  • Wolves - You and your evil brother may discuss who to feast upon tonight. Remember, though you are strong, you can only attack one person to ensure the attack is a success.

The final list of those playing are:
  • Ronin Storm
  • Piacular
  • Taffy
  • waterproofbob
  • Nanor
  • thatbloke
  • pHatBambi
  • Tetsuo_Shima
  • Sephiroth
  • Behind_You
  • midgert

Farmer Nanor is the first to wake in the morning. He rises out of his bed, gets dressed and walks outside to watch the beautiful sun rise on a glorious day at the town square. What he actually sees, however, is the reflection of the sun within the pool of blood covering the town square. In the centre of the pool, he sees midgert's armless body, and knows that something horrid has happened to the newest and more energetic member of the village.

Yelling for help and to wake everyone else, Nanor runs to midgert's side. midgert stirs slightly and mumbles something. It is not difficult for everyone to see the large gashes in midgert's body were made by large claws and teeth. Some fur can also be seen on what remains of midgert's clothing. With everyone gathering round, numerous villagers vomit at the sight, and it is all midgert can do but say his dying words.

midgert the human is dead and is allowed a dying breathe.

It is now day discuss what has happened, and vote for who to lynch by the end of the day (10pm BST) within the topic. Whoever is lynched will be killed, either by hanging or the silver bullet, so be careful about who you choose. PMs have been sent to those who need them.

*wanders out into the morning air, using a toothpick to remove some of his tasty breakfast*

Oh, man! You would not believe the dream I had last night, talk about ginger binge!

*looks slightly askance at Bob, thinking he has a lover, but the village is full of men*

What's all this kerfufle then? ...is... is that Midge? Nnnooooo!!!!

*vomit*

Pardon? What's that you say? Last words... me... Bob? DON'T ASSOCIATE ME WITH THAT DEBAUCHED HEATHEN! And although Bob might be a heretic, look at his cute widdle face, how could he eat people? You all saw him sleeping by the telegraph pole anyways. Tramp.

I'm sure Mayor Ronin would buy you a church if you asked him nicely, Bob. Unless he doesn't think you'll be around long enough to use it... beacause he'll soon be feasting on your pale flesh!

Hmmm, what do all t'other villagers have to say? They all looked rather shocked at Midge's fate. Mark my words, they'll be more to come before this week is through!

Here's effrontery indeed! That slanderous accusation that I, the Mayor of this 'til now tranquil hamlet, could be such a beast as to injure our favourite citizen, midgert...! You seem quite full this morning, Mister Piacular... well fed, one might say? As if you have feasted on the flesh of the innocents, more over!

Stand with me, true citizens of New Haven against this impending darkness. Stand with me and though our numbers few and the odds against us great, we shall be victorious in our struggle against the evil that walks amongst us.

*thrusts a finger at Piacular*

In his guise!
