Summer Werewolf - Rules/Intro/Chat thread

HappyHornet24 · Jun 10, 2017

Ross are you sure you were in the right graveyard? It's the Summer 2017 one, which is a link within the original graveyard thread? Harrow, I think I can close the day threads. I've just tried it out with Day 4, which should now be locked. I can do it for you for every remaining day once daytime play is over.

Can I be added to the graveyard please?

I think so but could have been mistaken .

HappyHornet24 · Jun 12, 2017

Harrow/Meister, I think the thread the active players can see is the first graveyard thread that you started, rather than the link within it that Meister set up.

Daft Row · Jun 16, 2017

I never could see the graveyard via the link if that helps at all?

Hello everybody

The game is starting tomorrow at approximately 9am. Rules for those who don't know or just want a quick reminder are below - copied from a thread Diamond created a while back, but with a few minor tweaks. Please all pay special attention to the roles as I have made some tiny adjustments here!

Werewolf Rules
Werewolf is a game that takes place in a small dark village which is haunted by werewolves. Each player is secretly assigned a role - Werewolf or Villager. There are three special villagers - Tinker, Traitor or Seer. There is also a Moderator player who controls the flow of the game. The game alternates between night and day phases. At night, the Werewolves secretly choose a Villager to kill. Also, the Seer (if still alive) asks the moderator whether another player is a werewolf or not. During the day, the Villager who was killed by the werewolf is revealed and is out of the game. The remaining Villagers then vote on the player they suspect is a werewolf. That player is lynched and is out of the game. Werewolves win when there are an equal number of good players and evil players. Villagers win when they have killed the wolf/wolves.

Gameplay: (Day 9am to 8pm, Night 8pm to 9am)
At the start of the game, all players are randomly given a role to play. The game starts at "Dawn" with the seer asking the moderator if a player is good or evil. The seer DOES NOT reveal this directly to the rest of the villagers. The seer can then email the moderator with a message about anything pertaining to the game. The moderator will post this message. Whoever is the wolf can also email the moderator with a message which the moderator will then post. Villagers will have to decide which message is more genuine. The villagers then vote on who to lynch (hoping to lynch an evil player). Whoever recieves the highest number of votes is lynched and is eliminated from the game. This conclude the "daytime" portion of the game.
Votes are cast using the poll system. These are public. Once you have voted, you then CANNOT change your vote. Voting closes at 8pm.
When "nighttime" is declared, the wolves will e-mail the moderator a chosen kill for that night. This concludes the "nighttime" portion, and the "daytime" portion is repeated.

Players are free to post their ideas regarding who has what role. Players ARE NOT permitted to PM each other about the game.

Evil Characters:

Alpha Werewolf - This person select one player to kill during the nighttime portion of the game. The alpha wolf's only goal is to survive until there are equal numbers of good and evil players. This can be accomplished by posting misleading information about other players and through sending one PM during the "daytime" with a misleading message to the moderator for him to post anonymously. Sending a PM to the moderator is optional. The wolf does not know any other players' roles, including the identity of any other wolves or traitors.

Other wolves - In this game, wolves are ranked. Basically, there will be a Beta wolf and possibly a gamma. All wolves are allowed a night kill - only the alpha wolf can post an anonymous message. If the Alpha wolf is killed, the beta becomes the alpha wolf and so on.

The wolves do not know eachothers roles.

IF two wolves pick the same person to kill over night - they will learn of each others identities. If either wolf picks another wolf, the weakest wolf will end up dead. I.e. if the beta wolf chooses to eat the alpha wolf, the beta wolf will be killed. Tough luck!

Traitor - This person knows who the werewolf/werewolves are at the start of the game. His goal is to keep the wolf/wolves alive so that the evil characters will win. This is accomplished by posting misleading information about other players and even going so far as to sacrifice himself.

Good Characters:

First Seer - The seer is the only character that can truthfully discover if the other players are good or evil. He does this at the beginning of each day. After his discovery, he has the option of sending one PM to the moderator with a message for the moderator to post anonymously. This is done so that the wolf has a harder time discovering the seer and also so that the evil roles are not immediately outed.

Tinker - Though the player assigned as the tinker is a good character, the seer will "see" him as an evil character. The tinker does not know beforehand that he is the tinker. The tinker will have to try and convince the other villagers that he is actually a good character if the seer tries to out him via a PM to the moderator

Villagers - The only thing regular villagers can do is vote on who will be lynched at the end of the day.

Optional Roles:
(These roles may or may not be included at the discretion of the moderator)

Extra Wolves - Each night when the Alpha wolf selects a kill, any other wolves may also select a kill. If they successfully choose the same kill as another wolf then the wolves who have selected the same kill will learn of each others identity. They are still NOT permitted to communicate with each other directly. In the event that the Alpha wolf is killed then another wolf will take their place with regards to sending messages, in order (Beta, Gamma and so on). If the Wolves choose different kills then both choices will be killed, (an option for 20+ player games).

Extra Seers - Any extra seers will start the game thinking they are ordinary villagers. In the event that the first seer is killed then another seer will take their place, in order (Second, Third and so on). - note - third seers are very rare and are usually only recruited mid game if another seer is an inactive player

Guardian - The Guardian is a good character. Each night, the Guardian may choose one player to "save". If the wolf chooses to kill a player who has been saved then the kill is unsuccessful and the wolf does not achieve a kill that night (the wolf is held up battling the guardian). However, the Guardian may only choose each player once throughout the whole game. If a player has already been chosen by the Guardian previously, they cannot be chosen again.

During the day the Guardian partakes in play just as a regular villager would.

Martyr - The Martyr is a regular villager with one exception. If they are selected as a kill by the wolf, they take the wolf down with them. In this way their job is to get themselves killed by the wolf. However they may not make false claims about their role to do this (i.e I'm the seer!).
If the Martyr is killed by the villagers, nothing special happens.

Witness - The witness is essentially the opposite of the traitor, they are aware of the identity of all the wolves (but not the traitor) and must try to convince the other villagers of their guilt. However they are forbidden from revealing their identity at any point as anything other than an ordinary villager.

Masons - Masons are ordinary villagers who are aware of each others identities. They are usually a small cabal who are encouraged to work together to protect each other and influence the vote. They are NOT permitted to communicate outside of the game.

Special Notes:

Each day someone will die, and each night someone will die.

The Alpha wolf may unintentionally kill the traitor, or another wolf.

Villagers may unintentionally kill the seer.

The seer may implicate the tinker which might lead to that player's death.

Depending on the number of players, the moderator will increase or decrease the number of roles (werewolves, seers, etc.). At the start of the game, a list of how many of each role is in the game will be posted.

Players are strictly forbidden to PM each other with information pertaining to the game. Please do not spoil the game for others. An email address will be provided to players who need to communicate with the moderator.

Only the traitor begins the game with knowledge of another player's role.

Messages that the moderator posts to the board may be from either the seer or the wolf. The players will have to decide.

The moderator will post messages from the seer and wolf as soon as he checks them. There is a deadline of one hour before nightfall for these PMs

Players may post their roles, but they may not be telling the truth.

The wolf, traitor, and seer should try and keep their role a secret for as long as possible. Villagers should try to lynch the wolf and traitor immediately once found out, and the wolf should try to kill the seer once found out.

Each day sequence of the game will last approximately 12 hours, and the game will be paused over weekends. A time will be posted as to when the "day" will end and all votes must be submitted. The night sequence of the game will last until the moderator receives information from the wolf about who he killed during the night.

Any player who does not vote during the day, will be killed off that night.

Ties will be broken by a public gambling event (such as a horse race).

Trust me, it'll become easier once we've started the game.

There may or may not be a brand new role which is not listed above.

I have copied and pasted below the message I sent to the harlot this game, just so everyone understsnds the rules:

Hello

You are the village harlot. You win when all of the wolves are dead.

⦁ During the day, you will vote for whoever you want lynched as normal. At night, you have the option to stay at home or visit another players home.

⦁ If you visit someone and they are evil, you will be killed, but if you they are good you will survive and have the knowldedge that they are good.

⦁ If a wolf picks to eat you, and you have chosen to visit someone else, you will survive (because you're not home).

⦁ BUT – if you visit someone else, who the wolf has chosen to kill, you will be killed too!

⦁ Staying with somebody the guardian has decided to protect will mean you would survive too.

Is the Harlot allowed to declare themselves as such?

Don't see why not as PJ seemingly did in the last game pretty much... although that creates a target for team evil

Agreed. May as well out yourself as soon as possible. Won't get lynched and won't be selected for the night kill.

Pozzo Out · Jun 26, 2017

Fair point, although was thinking Wolfy would avoid in order to chase two kills, but I get where you're coming from

Harrow Orn · Jun 26, 2017

To be honest you are allowed to reveal your role whenever you want, regardless of the role itself. It would just be a very silly idea.

Unless you are a wolf, it's always good for wolves to declare early so the other wolves don't eat you - tip for any newbie wolves

I phrased it horribly. All those roles could be in the game. I will not confirm 100% though, that's up to everyone to find out

HappyHornet24 · Jun 28, 2017

@Harrow Orn could you confirm whether the harlot is described as "good" or "very good"? Ta.
