Werewolf Classic IX - GAME ON!

[Helgraf]

Sign me up.

[banjo1985]

Currently we have 47 players, good numbers, even for a Classic! Also great to see Shadow back.

I'll probably run recruitment until Sunday, then give out roles ready for game start on Monday. I'll start the game in this same thread, I don't see the point in starting a fresh one.

Roughly 48 hours left to sign up.

[Eldritch Knight]

Ah, Shadow, welcome back. I look forward to matching wits against you, (And everyone else, for that matter.) It shall be a duel of wits, to the death. (You should be glad I'm not Sicilian! )

[happyturtle]

Have to drop out. Sorry.

[Bayar]

Last day Sing-me-up !

[banjo1985]

Sign ups are over now.

Role PMs and the opening post will hopefully appear tomorrow. I know I said today, but a friend of mine died this morning and 'm not really in the mood to talk about grisly wolf deaths.

[Fin]

Hey take your time Banjo, you have my condolences for your friend too!

[banjo1985]

Sorry for the delay guys, I'm feeling a bit more myself now.

Role PMs are going out as we speak, the game will start in 12 hours at the latest.

[Jontom Xire]

Will there be a new thread for the game or are we re-using this one?

[banjo1985]

All PMs have now been sent. If you haven't rec'd anything, get a piece of wood with a nail in it and hit me round the head a few times...that should get my attention.

Game will start in this very thread, as soon as the opening post is up.

Old Man Moon has died without making a will, leaving his surviving descendants to fight over his massive estate and Moon Mansion. So, on July 6th, the family congregate at Moon Mansion, eager for a slice of the pie, but they get quite a surprise.

The solicitor of the New Moon Estate, Mr Grey, meets you all at the door,a slight smirk on his face.

"As you know, Mr Moon left no will pertaining to the ownership of his estate in the event of his untimely demise. However, he did give me, the executor of the estate, instructions as to how ownership of the mansion and grounds should be decided."

Mr Grey pauses, for dramatic effect no doubt.

"I must say, it's a rather...esoteric way of making a decision, shocking almost. What you must ask yourselves is, are you willing to bet your life on a game of Russain Roulette? Because if not, I think you may want to reconsider your claim..."

At this the waiting family, friends and hangers on go into uproar.

“Are you saying we should forfeit our right to my grandfathers estate? Preposterous!”
“Russain Roulette…does this place have a clay pigeon shooting range?”
“I saw some pheasants on the way in…”
“If the old bugger hadn’t been so tight there wouldn’t be this problem…”

Mr Grey raises his hands out palms first, and slowly the assembled crowd quietens.

“I can assure you that nobody has to relinquish their claim if they don’t want to, I merely suggest that you may want to consider it. After all, what’s more important to you, your money or your life?”

The response is immediate.

“Money.”
“Money.”
“It’s all about da Benjamin’s y’all!”
“Money…is there anything else?”
“My wife? What’s she got to do with all this?”
“…Turn your hearing aid on Bernard.”
"What?! I can’t hear you, my hearing aid isn’t on!”

Mr Grey sighs.

“Very well. Mr Moon has bequeathed his estate to the last of his surviving relatives, out of those who have attended today.”

“But that will take years!”
“That’s age discrimination that is. I’d sue him if he wasn’t in the ground already…”

The smile on Mr Grey’s face stopped the growing anger in a heartbeat. It wasn’t at all pleasant.

“Oh no, it will only take a few weeks, Mr Moon has seen to that. You see, way back in his ancestry, Mr Moon has werewolf blood, and the strain has continued throughout the family right up until this day. Of course, Mr Moon was not a werewolf himself, but several of you will most likely find out that you are when the moon rises over this estate. Mr Moons request is simple. You will all remain within the grounds of the estate until there is a definite victor; those of you that are human, or those with something of the night about you. The victors will be granted custody of this estate and all of Mr Moon’s worldly assets and affairs.”

A shocked silence falls across the crowd. Could some of them really be werewolves? A guttural howl rises from a copse of trees behind the mansion, and several people jump, the rest throwing fearful glances around the grounds.

“I think you had better come inside, the Moon will be up soon.”

The relatives of Old Man Moon funnel through the old oak door and into the luxurious vaulted reception area. Mr Grey stands in the doorway, the same unpleasant smile playing across his features.

“There are more than enough rooms to house you all, and the larder is fully stocked. There are several games rooms for billiards, darts and the like, and there are tennis courts and croquet lawns outside. There is indeed a clay pigeon shoot outside, a swimming pool, and an observatory up in the loft. The more learned amongst you may also like to peruse Mr Moon’s rather large occult library. Goodbye ladies and gentleman, I shall return to crown the victor!”

Mr Grey leaves everyone in the reception room to think about the coming days. Who’s going to want to play croquet when there may be wolves amongst them? Is the estate and all this money really worth it?

Of course it bloody is! Now get voting!

Day 1 begins now and will end on Friday. A tally of living players will be kept on the 1st Page of this thread for player reference.

[Fleeing Coward]

Welcome back to werewolf Shadow

[Oddity]

Hot diggity dog!
Haruki-kun

[Jontom Xire]

Just when I was starting to get bored of voting for Murska on day one, he did something that will have me giving him day one points for a lot longer still. Muhahahahahaha!! Revenge is sweet.

[Dirk Kris]

A crotchety old man, Bernard, Mr. Moon's youngest brother, tromps around the estate, muttering under his breath in typical old-man fashion. "Unbelievable. First my hearing aid starts giving me trouble, now this? I bet that young whipper snapper Oddity has something to do with it!"

((random))

[smuchmuch]

This is the first day.
There is only one fair way to choose: complete randomness.

"Am I the only who think Reinholdt should put a shirt on ?"
said Old man Moon second degree little cousin.

[Murska]

And that means I can counterpoint at Jontom Xire a lot longer.

[Fin]

Andre Fairchilde get the 'Wolfs Bane' open, I want a drink!

[Eldritch Knight]

Evnafets seems suspicious enough to me.

[Aemoh]

Zar Peter, I choose you!

AKA, day 1 random

[Alarra]

Welcome back to werewolf Shadow

Aww, come on...It's not day 3 yet. Fleeing Coward

[Blue Ghost]

10 votes already, and all against different people? Who am I to start a bandwagon?
Random point at The Phantom

[Murska]

I hereby declare intent to vote at the first person to put a second vote on someone.

[The Valiant Turtle]

Oh fine, I'll be the first to be the second to point at someone and that might as well be the third person pointed at which was... Murska. Ugh, I do hate to get involved in these little point wars. I'll point at JX tomorrow.

Edit: No, Murska's post wasn't there when I started this, but that somehow works out anyway. It's kinda freaky though.

[ThePhantom]

"Zzzzz. Zzzzz. Come on. Zzzzzz. Granny needs a Zzzzz."

Granny Vil, one of Mr. Moon sister-in-laws, is still asleep on the chair where she sat down on in the reception area.

"Zzzz. Jontom Xire. Zzzz."

[Murska]

Oh fine, I'll be the first to be the second to point at someone and that might as well be the third person pointed at which was... Murska. Ugh, I do hate to get involved in these little point wars. I'll point at JX tomorrow.

Edit: No, Murska's post wasn't there when I started this, but that somehow works out anyway. It's kinda freaky though.

And, as promised, The Valiant Turtle.

[Supagoof]

Hah! Werewolves? Are you all blinking mad? That Old Man Moon is laughing in his grave at us. He's trying to get us all to turn against each other. There is no more proof of werewolves then there is the loch ness monster!

Have you seen this? Says a boy, holding up a newspaper clipping.

Loch Ness Monster captured on Film! Video now being swept through youtube as undeniable documentation that Nessie is in fact real. Teams of investigators have flooded the area, only to find that the once shy sea serpeant now makes regular appearances daily to say hi. What caused this change of events is unknown, but when it is known, the daily times will be the first one there to find out!

Well thanks for that! Hey, you. Miss Alarra isn't it? You think just because you married into the Moon family that you get to claim some inheritance? Don't think that child in your belly has any more right than you do!

[Hell Puppi]

Let's point at Fin because I don't think he's been pointed at.


Werewolves, hmmmm? *slips on some more silver jewelry* I'd much prefer vampires, but take what you can get, I suppose.

[Lex-Kat]

Murska. Because he's dangerous.

[Kyouhen]

I'm gunna go with an anti-Murska-bandwagon bandwagon and see if I can start one against The Valiant Turtle.
