Waiting for the night to fall

I'm going to try to host a game of Werewolves here on the Canadian forum. If you're familiar with the game Mafia - it's similar. Basically there are 2 teams: the villagers and the werewolves. There are 4 different roles that each participant could be assigned: 1 Seer 1 Defender (2 if we have enough people sign up) 2 Werewolves (could be more depending on how many people sign up) Villagers The Seer, Defender(s) and Werewolves are the power roles. Each of them has a special ability that they can use at night (see below for details) The villagers have no special powers, but they do vote during the day phases and help decide who will die. There are 2 phases each turn, Day and Night. During the Day phase, villagers discuss whom they'd like to lynch. At the end of each Day phase, the person with the most lynch votes will be killed and their role will be made public. I will allow 'No Lynch' votes for those who don't wish to kill anyone, but be warned - sometimes this strategy can help the village and sometimes it helps the wolves. During the Night phase the Defender (or Defenders if there are 2 of them) each select 1 person to protect. If the wolves target a defended person then their attack will fail and nobody will die. The Seer can select 1 person each night to scan, thus learning that person's role in the game. Whether or not the Seer chooses to contact someone after learning their role is left up to the Seer. The Werewolves as a group select 1 person each night to kill. The person they select will die unless defended. During the day phase you should discuss options with one another. Villagers are tasked with finding and killing all of the Werewolves. Werewolves need to remain hidden long enough to kill enough of the Villagers to ensure a win. The Village wins if they kill all of the Werewolves, the Werewolves win if the number of living wolves exceeds the number of living Villagers (the Seer and any Defenders are included in the Village tally) You may discuss any aspect of the game you wish within the game thread. Since there's no way for me to monitor pm discussions I will say this: you may pm others about the game. You may claim to have a certain role - but YOU MAY NOT SEND a screenshot of the pm showing your role to anyone nor may you post it anywhere. It's one thing for a wolf to pm someone and 'claim' to be a villager or defender, it's quite another for a seer to send his role to everyone in the game and prove he is who he says he is. It's considered cheating to do this as it ruins the fun of the game. Well, that's about it. I've probably made a hash of describing the game. If you want to play just post in this thread. If you have any questions then feel free to ask. |

Yup. The referee PMs everyone at the start. Here's my take, based on very little experience plus some reading... Most of the time the villagers should hang someone even if they have no clue. If they just dither, the werewolves will pick them off. One very good strategy for the villagers is for the Seer to declare at the start, and the defender to defend them (without declaring). The Seer can then clear people 1 by 1, which improves the villagers odds significantly. Of course, a wolf might claim to be the seer, but they then have to be very careful to "check out" the right people. |

Phase lengths: normally we play with 48 hour days and 24 hour nights, but if you feel that some participants may need more time to ensure participation then I can lengthen the phases to accommodate you, just let me know. Voting: during the day, please bold all votes and vote changes. Vote: Lynch Aersoldorf or Change Vote: Aersoldorf to No Lynch In the event of a tie vote, nobody dies. |

Oh, forgot to mention: Defenders can not defend the same person two nights in a row, that's why the Seer rarely declares early. |

I'm in. Will we get a nice story at the beginning of the new day to describe any...misfortunes that may have occurred? Also for the choosing of defending/eating since it has to be a group decision would they tell who they are picking to the ref and they pass it along to the others in the group until it is decided or do the defenders/wolves know who the others in their group are so they can talk amongst themselves and then tell the ref? |

The day phase voting will take place in the game thread and is public. Night phase activity is conducted via pm. The wolves will know who each other are. This is my first game hosting and there won't be much of a story - this is more to familiarize the people here with the game mechanics. |

I haven't played that variant, but fine. Please be clear on all such rules before the start, though. |

We need a minimum of eight. I have asked around a bit, but mostly folks don't have the time, fair enough. In 1000 pages I made the suggestion to Aerso that we get some players from XKI. He replied:
:lol: They are a region full of soldiers after all! I don't know, I expect there are a few hardcore players here too, given half a chance. I think just ask the XKIers and be done with it...us... Anyone here got any objections to this? |

Also note, I'm willing to stretch the times on the phases if that would encourage some of the less active members to join |

I don't know them, but anywhere you think we might get a good response. |

I will get on with asking various regions after the apocalypse. I think if I ask now the invite will get lost in the excitment of zombie mayhem. Apologies to everyone for this delay. |
