Every player starts with one of three roles: Villager(Criminal), Mason(Syndicate), and Werewolf(Bounty Hunter). The distribution of these roles shall be 3:1:1 for every five players. Fractions therein shall be handled as follows:

Show

+1 = 1 Villager
+2 = 2 Villager
+3 = 3 Villager
+4 = 1 Mason, 1 Werewolf, 2 Villager

This game has a fourth role: Traitor. If a Werewolf is day killed, a randomly selected Villager member of the bandwagon will be given the option of becoming a Traitor. A Traitor starts with 1/2 of the points the killed Werewolf had, rounded up. The Traitor is a Werewolf in all respects save that, when a Traitor is day killed, no one is given the option of becoming a Traitor. A Traitor is informed of the remaining Werewolves identities, and vice versa. A Traitor is told her collected point total.

Kills:

There is NO 25% majority rule in effect.
Night Kill is done by vote. Each Werewolf shall vote for who will die that night via PM to the narrators. Each Werewolf may designate a proxy if they are unable to vote that night.

Points:

* Each Villager and Mason has a bounty on their head. This bounty is worth points equal to # Day/Night + # of points if day killed.
* Each Mason also has an additional bounty on their head, equal to 10% of the Point Goal.
* The Point Goal is determined based on the number of players in the game. The formula which calculates the Point Goal will be provided on request.
* These points are split among all werewolves that were in the bandwagon for day kills and all werewolves for night kills. All fractions are rounded down. Minimum point gain of 1 for each kill.
* When a Werewolf or Traitor is killed, no one receives any points.

WinConditions:

* Villagers and Masons win when all Werewolves and Traitors are dead.

*The Werewolf or Traitor with the greatest number of points wins when (1) the number of Werewolves and Traitors is greater than or equal to the number of Villagers or (2) when a Werewolf or Traitor collects points equal to or greater than the Point Goal. (This means only ONE Werewolf/Traitor can win)

I'll post the Math soon. And It'll be hidden deep within spoilers so if you get hurt it's your own fault. The first draft was posted here. I was tempted to put the reactions into my signature. Still am, actually.

Actually I hadn't edited the math at all from what I posted, as I edited the post as I changed my math I think. Right now with 33 players the formula the Point Goal at 71 points, and we'd have 6 wolves, 6 masons, and 21 villagers.

[The Bookworm]

This sounds AWESOME! I'm in.

[Croverus]

Love these kinds of games. Sign me up!

[Murska]

I'm in, sure.

[Dr. Bath]

Sounds like a fun test. In.

[Thufir]

Thought this looked interesting when you mentioned it in central. In.

[Opeth_Freak]

In of course!

[Oddity]

Only one werewolf can truly win? epic
In

[banjo1985]

This set-up mildly confuses me, but I'm in anyway, as Oliver Zinc-Trumpet Harris the professional hunter!

[EnrgeticPenguin]

in. I'm a bit confused though.

Edit: What's the formula for deciding the point goal?

[Dirk Kris]

Dirky be in.

[paddyfool]

It seems unlikely for the villagers and masons to win this... all it takes for the masons to be royally ****ed is for one of their number to turn traitor.

However, I'd kind of anticipate that a fairly small proportion of masons & villagers would choose to turn traitor after the first few rounds, since then they'd be starting as a wolf at a disadvantage on points to the other wolves, so at least this should mean we should run out of "wolves" at some point.

Overall, it sounds interesting, so even though I shouldn't distract myself too much... in.

[Mustiado]

Yeah, I'll try it out.

[Robert Blackletter]

well i give it a go.

[Guancyto]

Definitely in.

Yes and no. You have to consider that a wolf getting too near the point goal can (and probably will) be killed by the other wolves, and that in order to get any points a wolf has to be on a successful wagon.

And also that the mason-turned-traitor might not want to share the bounty on his comrades with the entire wolf team. I can see a lot of ways this could play out...

[Hyozo]

Count me in.

[MOD]

In I'll give this a try...

[Bayar]

Sign me up.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

The Fullbladder will also play. Though I may wax musical. I'm feeling musical this week.

[Darkcomet]

In, I suppose.

[TehSheen]

Sheen needs more WW games, so IN!

[calar]

Im in. Wake me when we start.

[Aemoh]

In, says I.

...I never noticed recruitment posts till their in structured

[Fleeing Coward]

[Fawkes]

In, as Keyser Soze.

[MoonBeam]

Sounds very interesting. Count me in, please.

[Elder Tsofu]

/signing up.
Time to take the law in my own hands.

[RedScholarGypsy]

Also, if anyone has a preference for how they want their Death scene to be (Silly, Serious, etc.) Please tell me so I can accommodate. You should at least die as you wish.

[Irbis]

In, I think.
