Witchunt 4 Currently on Day 5

[Gray Mage]

Before the game starts, there are a few rules that are different from other mafia style games. Please pay attention to all of them.

Variant Rules

Spoiler

This is a no PM game. That means that players are forbidden from comunicating with each other by PMs. Ever. The relevant groups (coven witches, the lovers and the guardian angels) that need to comunicate outside the thread will be given a QT for that purpose. Of course, players may communicate with the narrator through PMs.

For this game to work properly it is necessary for the players to post and be talkative. Just making one post each day phase with only your point is not going to cut it.

It is forbidden to edit posts, either in the thread or in a QT.

Roles will not be revealed upon death.

Dead players will be able to continue playing as "Guardian Angels". More information on that further down the post.

Day phase ends when a majority (> 50% remaining players) is reached. If no majority is reached by the end of the day or if the majority was for a no-lynch, the judge player, if alive, may choose a target for the lynch. That player'll be lynched at the *start of night and will only be found out in the night update. There will be time for certain roles to act between each phase (for example, the martyr role).

*Start of night counts as day.

It is forbidden for players to post in thread at night.

Every player will be given two "cards". One giving that player his role and the other his faction and faction role.

Certain cards have "protection". Protection shields the player against NK to a limit of one NK per night.

Day lasts 72 hours at a maximum, while night lasts 48 hours.

Game ends when one side wipes out the other (or when that becomes inevitable) or if the wizard is the last innocent player alive.

Normal Role cards

Spoiler

Golden cards are known as Holy cards. Holy cards cannot be part of the witch faction or have the spy faction role.

Faction Role cards

Spoiler

If a faction card would give the player a power, that player gains that power in adition to any other power his other card give him.

Witch Faction

Spoiler

Coven Witches



The witches start knowing each other and have a private QT. Each night the witches may vote to night kill (NK) a player. Holy players cannot be witches.

Junior Witch

The Junior Witch starts the game without knowing who are his/her fellow witches nor does the witches know who possesses this role. Can ask the narrator to be put in contact with the coven witches during any night. Until then it doesn't participate in the NKs. The witches cannot differentiate between a joining Spy or JW. Holy players cannot be the Junior Witch.

Innocent Faction

Spoiler

Spy

The Spy is part of the innocent faction, but can join the coven witches any night to participate in the NK just like the Junior Witch. The witches cannot differentiate between a joining Spy or JW. Remember, you are part of the innocent faction. Holy players cannot be the Spy.

Lovers

The two lovers begin play with a private QT. The cupid player cannot be a lover.

Wizard[/b]

Only one player will receive the Wizard faction role.
Vampire Hunter

[b]Only one player will receive the VH faction role.

Villager

The remaining 11 playeres have this faction role.

Guardian Angels (GA)

Spoiler

After a player dies, he/she will be redirected to the GA chat and will turn in a Guardian Angel. GAs will be informed of the holy, lovers, VH and Wizard players and may vote each night to protect one player once in the game. The vote is decided on a plurality vote. In case of tie no one is protected. If the protected player is attacked in that night, the GA may protect him one more time in that game.
GAs may vote for protection as long as there are more than 4 players alive.

[Tydude]

In! (By the way, you're missing Gambler and Survivalist in the role card list.)

EDIT: Nevermind, it's there now. Probably just me.

[Ramsus]

In. Why do the GAs learn everyone's roles? Doesn't this make Witch GAs pretty useless?

I think I'll have to rp a guy wearing a "I'm totally the Spy" shirt.

Edit: I love/feel sad for the fact that the VH is still included and still useless.

I don't think so, since you can only protect each player only once and they could try to mess that up. But you do have a point. Would they knowing the holy, Wiz, Lover and VH players be better?

Really? Because I can think of one use for him.

[Forum Explorer]

I'd be intrested in playing. Looks like fun.

At first, I was laughing at how VH was yet again a joke role. But now I can actually see a use to it, which is great.

At first I thought you were making a morbid joke about the VH and had a bit of a laugh there. But yeah that'd be a lot more fair.

[bladescape]

Oh, Oh, I'll join in!! -waves hand excitedly-

[Sotek]

Heyo. It's me.

[Ninjabob]

sounds fun. count me in.

[Reinholdt]

I'll try this game out.

[Croverus]

Had a blast in the last WW game I played and the one I'm currently in is turnign out to be hilarious. Let's give this a go!

[Aerinon]

Count me in. I've been a bit Witchhunt starved this last month. I've played a couple times now on Sirlin so I've got a bit of experience with variants of this ruleset.

[Zejety]

I'm in. I've participated in some of the Sirlin.net games.

Looking forward to playing after quite a break.

[Ajadea]

Count me in!

[Rogue Nine]

Even more complicated rules? Ramsus, Tydude and Sotek already in?

Oh I am SO in!

[Istari]

In again, so not missing one of these.

[Gray Mage]

A rule that I forgot to put in the OP, but that veteran players already know:
Roles will not be revealed upon death.

Edit: I also fixed some wording here and there.

Btw, please take a attention to the GA section, since it was heavily changed and because of what happened last game.

[Saposhiente]

In!
Also,

Day phase ends when a majority (< 50% remaining players)

o.O Interesting definition of "majority"...

Note: I am on your side. You can trust me.

Gray Mage "GAs may vote for protection until there are more than 4 players." Uh....aren't there always more than 4 players? Did you mean until there are only 4 players alive?

Yes, that'd be the case.

Note to self: No more rules compilation near midnight.

Yeah, that'll work.

Isn't that one of the three rules?

[otakuryoga]

i will give this a try

[Lemonus]

This looks like a lot of fun. In.

[Onime-no-Enishi]

havent read on whats new yet, but im in =p as always.

[Aerinon]

2 cents: Less than 4 alive rule isn't needed for GAs if GAs can protect a person only once per game. Can't hurt though either.

...Are you going to fix that?

[Hitaro]

OK sure I will try to play this again.

Edit: also, who the bloody hell thinks that VH was ever useless??

[ehrgeix]
