The Werewolf Game I
The Werewolf Game, or TWG, is an exciting game of deceit, logic, and paranoia, with some role playing thrown in. Every turn (or "day") players seek to discover whom among them is actually the evil plaguing their society and eliminate them, so that order may at last be restored, and their lives may no longer be in jeopardy. With so much on the line, you never know who has your back, and who's stabbing it.
Epilogue
The footsteps drew nearer. Somewhere in the distance, among the darkness of the night, the sleepy forest ambience was interrupted. He could hear the twigs snap under the enormous figure's weight and instantly froze, drawing silent breaths sparingly as he tried to remain unnoticed. The creature snarled, aware of his presence. Suddenly, the villager's digital watch beeped, as it always did, past the hour. "Oh crap," he whispered in panic. His position now apparent as a very very large bonfire, the beast pounced with a vicious growl and sank his teeth into the man's arm. "AAaaaahh! ****ing.... watch!!" he screamed, until finally he collapsed onto the ground.
Somehow, he had found his way back and groggily walked upon familar streets. Confusion, unfamiliarity shrouded his mind. He squinted as a bright light emerged, he did not comprehend the voice. "You there! What are you doing out this time of night?" The man held the lantern outstretched as his companion walked forward. "Are you alright? You look...."
but we'll never know just how the groggy man looked, because he ran and bit the two of them. They became a werewolf trio, wreaking havoc at night but appearing as regular townspeople during the day. I hope you enjoyed my suspenseful introduction.
RULES
There are two sides: werewolves versus humans. The werewolves appear as regular villagers by day, but by night they are vicious killers intent on killing all humans one by one. Meanwhile, every day a hanging takes place and the villagers vote for who they want lynched as they try to eradicate the werewolves. Wolves cannot kill their own.
NIGHT AND DAY
Gameplay takes place during, you guessed it, Night and Day.
During the night the werewolves secretly decide on a villager to kill and PM their selection the the host. Once everyone has fulfilled their roles, the sun rises and daytime begins.
Once it is day, the werewolves have turned back into their human forms and the villagers discover which of them has been murdered during the night. The victim is removed from the game. Angry mobs demand action and players partake in a public discussion, trying to find out who among them are the culprits as they cast their votes. The person with the most votes is lynched and removed from the game.
This cycle continues until wolves outnumber humans (victory for wolves), or humans have lynched all of the wolves (humans win!).
________________________________
PROCEDURE
1. Players are ALWAYS forbidden to divulge the information sent to you by PM from the host to anyone else. Any player caught doing so is disqualified. It's just stupid, so don't do it.
2. Players who have been killed will not be allowed to post in the game thread. Dead people don't talk.
3. Make sure to vote every Day. If you do not, you receive a warning. The second time you fail to vote, one vote is counted against yourself. Three strikes and you're out of the game.
________________________________
ROLES
First and foremost, each player is assigned a role via PM from the host. They are as follows:
Human: Nothing terribly special about you. Your only duty in the game is to cast your vote for the hanging and try to kill the bad guys (wolves)
Werewolves: Secretly decide on who to kill and PM their selection to the host. They are the only players who are allowed to communicate amongst each other (fellow WOLVES). They also try to deceive the human population during the day and get them to lynch their own.
Seer: One player is selected to be the Seer. During the Night, they can choose to PM the host and select a player whose role will be divulged. They are allowed this vision 3 times in the entire game. Use the information wisely!
Guardian Angel: Each night, the chosen Guardian Angel chooses one player to protect and PMs their selection to the host. If the wolves target the protected player, their attack fails and nobody is killed that night. That player is then freed from any suspicion since wolves can't kill their own.
There are other roles, but since we're just starting out, we'll stick with these.
