April Fool Werewolf 2020 Day 1

Twas the first day of April. The village lies eerily empty, all inhabitants safely locked away from the evil virus that lurks amongst us. Nature carries on as if nothing is happening. Spring digs in its heels as wildlife and colour emerge from their cold sleep. The trees in the forest sway and small houses creak as the warmer sun hits them in the morning.

But today the lockdown is over and the villagers are allowed back to their normal routine. Good and evil will mix once again. Can the villagers root out the bad apples before they are taken down, one by one.

As the villagers slowly emerge from their small habitats, blinking at the warm Spring sun, they notice the fool. The fool dances about the village, jumping on to walls, screeching "April Fool" at the top of their voice. "April Fool", "April Fool", "April Fool". The fool is harmless but d*mned annoying. The fool is amongst you. The fool is good but will show as evil if viewed. Yes, you also have the tinker.

The Village is OPEN.

Poll will be added later.

 

What's up you lazy villagers? Get out of bed and get active! Particularly you, Seer, get active nice and early...

 

Morning villagers. Quiet in the decorating business, get a free t-shirt with every job

 

Do you do your own carpentry as well?

 

Morning all, Officer Opti at your service!

 

Given the lack of other available information, and the political views of many of you on here, it seems the obvious choice for a first day lynching would be the banker - GoingDown.

 

Morning all. Happy April Fish.

 

I'm the village DPD driver. Please don't open the door. I'll leave the packages on your steps and text you to confirm drop off.

Anyone caught nicking parcels from people's steps will have the ring doorbell footage shared on the Village Facebook group.

 

When the roadsweeping industry needs a bailout, you'll be soon knocking at my door.

 

This crisis has highlighted the need for sweeping reforms.

 

I'll subsist for years from drinking your blood - that's how this socialism stuff works, right?!

 

Except once it's over all those concerns will probably be swept under the carpet.

 

Morning all.

Just saying you cant lynch me as Im the baker and therefore a key worker, plus if anyones comes at me I stick them in the oven like the postman from Goodfellas.

 

Morning everyone. Tailoring business has taken a hell of a hit - very difficult to get accurate measurements from 2m away

 

Morning all!

I have viewed Nisman and he is evil.

 

Any danger of a message anytime soon?

Edit: haha, perfect timing

 

Morning all. Are we sure the village us really open or is it a prank?

 

Is the riddle a clue or just something to waste everyone's time...?

 

What does that mean?

 

Two things.

Who needs a carpet fitter when I can't go into folks houses?

And what an unusual first message!

Can't recall seeing a first message like that before, either way, doesn't make much sense.

 

3 players with letters and numbers in their username. 3 masons, 3 wolves. Hmmm.

 

interesting first message, a quick google search doesn't reveal anything of significance other than a piece by alan turing on codebreaking! coincidence?

 

so others dont have to look the three players with numbers:
- miked2006
- happyhornet24
- nisman94

 

We're looking for a dead gay hero?

 

The "numbers are letters" bit, reference to Roman Numerals?

I V X L C D & M.

I'm good at cryptic crosswords but this is bizarre, because if the writer wanted to portray themselves as the seer you'd expect something a bit more clearer than that!

 

Disregard the message, it didn't say 'Good morning villagers' so it's not directed at us.

That's my excuse.

 

Reminds me of an episode of Star Trek TNG!

 

Cryptic message or not, let's not forget someone has been named evil... This could be a lucky break.

Obviously we await the second message though.

The seer has 17 players to view (they know themselves as not evil) and 4 players would show as evil (including the Tinker) so there's a slightly less than 1 in 4 chance of them striking an evil viewing on their first go.

Not impossible, but a pretty good stroke of luck if so.
