    Default The Werewolf Game Revival [Game] (Mod Approved)

    We were organizing a game of Witch Trials (a variant of this) a while back but it never got off the ground. Successful in the past, this game just needs the boost of new recruits, so I am restarting the thread. Below are the rules of this forum game, which has been run successfully countless times. If interested, please post a reply to this thread to say so. If you have any questions, please send me a private message.

    THE WEREWOLF GAME
    The Werewolf Game is a forum game, at the start of which each player is informed of their "role." A player's role determines the side they play on, with most being humans and a few being werewolves. No players, save werewolves, know the roles of others when the game starts. The game proceeds over a thread by posting and usually begins as follows.

    Day
    Day is a period of time lasting twenty-four real-time hours in which players vote. The game starts on the first day. The objective of the players is to kill all the werewolves and to do so they must discuss their suspicions during day. Finding a werewolf involves searching voting patterns and small subtle hints in posts; as they act in a "pack," any such activites can be viewed as possible cause for lycanthropy. If a werewolf, a player tries to manipulate the vote, targetting non-werewolves in the least suspicious way possible. If a player does not vote then he/she gets a doom vote. Once a player receives three doom votes, they are killed.

    Once a player has decided on who their suspicions rest, they place a vote in bold which says who they want to be eliminated from the game. The player with the majority of these votes is eliminated and any tie is decided randomly. Once this is complete, the game proceeds into its second phase.

    Night

    During night, werewolves get to make their own personal elimination. Communicating either through private message or some other means (e-mail or instant messenger) they decide on who to kill. They all private message the bolded name of this player to the host. Some other roles have abilities that can be used during night, and they are detailed below.

    Roles
    Human - This player has no special powers. They seek to eliminate the werewolves.
    Werewolf - The abilities of the werewolves are detailed above. They act as villagers during day and seek to outnumber the human side.
    Seer - The seer may send a private message with the bolded name of one player to the host each night. The host then reveals the role of this player to the seer. The seer assists the humans.
    Guardian Angel - The guardian angel sends a private message to the host with the bolded name of one player. This player cannot be killed by werewolves during that night.
    Masons - Sometimes included in games, these two humans know each other from the start as werewolves do, allowing them to cooperate during day more easily.

    Victory
    The goal of the humans is to eliminate the werewolves. The goal of the werewolves is to outnumber the humans. The cycle of Day and then Night proceeds until one of these two things occurs (which typically takes anywhere between three to six cycles, or a period of six to twelve real-time days).

    General Rules
    1. Do not excessively spam in the game topic, some off topic discussion is prohibited but no flaming or offensive material please. Any player that does so will receive dooms from me appropriate to the damage caused.
    2. Dead people should keep their comments in this thread at a minimum.
    3. Players are encouraged to make accusations in the thread and tell their suspicions. There is much strategy involved in this game, if you do it correctly.
    4. No player should post the contents of a private message in game or they will die instantly. This means any and all private messages, not just ones from the host.
    5. All votes should be posted in bold, so refrain from posting any other text as such.
    6. Do not edit your posts, the only exception being the host.

    If you can't, Houndoom_Lover, don't fret. There are no dooms for failing to vote on Day One, as a rule.
