Default Careless Village WW

Careless Village WW
Narrators: Count Dingdong, Rules Lawyer #1

A small, quiet, peaceful town on the edge of civilization. Nothing happens; peace reigns supreme. But one night... something occurs. A murder, ensuing chaos, written about in news. Travelers come far and wide to marvel, study, participate. Killings happen daily, newcomers fill their spots. More and more people die in this bloodbath. When and how will it end? How many will die or live to tell the tale? How many innocents dead, how many guilty? A story yet unwritten but soon to be told...

Rules:
Spoiler


"Original" Roles:
Spoiler


Newcomer Roles:
These vary greatly and are not publicly revealed. Common and not-so-common roles alike, on all three teams.

Normal rules for connected players (e.g. masons and wolves) are overpowered in a game with revival. So modifications have been made. They are as follows.

Masons:
Spoiler


Suggestions:
Spoiler


These adjustments should make meta-gaming less of a problem. Root of the matter is that it's hard to stop. So I'm relying on you all to minimize it. That's it. Done what I can, and the rest is up to you. Make this as fair of a game as possible. Hopefully this all works out.

Helgraf's interference in effect. Multiple scries on same targe = No Scry for scries on that target. Voiding also gives No Scry. And maybe other things as well.

Almost forgot: autolynching. If 3 days w/o voting, you're autolynched. Can still rejoin after 2 days if spots available. If known in advance, narrators may be more lenient.

As what number? Since you're clueless, choose one from 16-50! 'Twill determine your role gained at day 2.

All Newcomers must choose a spot in order to join, but don't get role until one day/night cycle has passed. Can vote while clueless newcomer and can't be voted for. In tie, clueless newcomer votes are discarded.

----------------------------------------------------

Oh, and role PMs have been sent out. Game begins once players confirm roles in QTs. Until then (and even after), Newcomers welcome!

Choosing "16-50" is out, yes?

If so, the RNG says 17.

Night 0

Calm, cool night, a peaceful village. Villagers asleep under cloudless, starry sky, safe in their perception that all will stay calm. That everyone was on their side, content with the way things were. But not everyone was content, not everyone felt society was great as it was. For the mayor, you see, he had passed a law recently. A law that stated that the gates of town would be closed, closed to outsiders, to protect from evil that pervaded outside world. And for a while, happiness persisted, and unrest slept, biding its time til the opportune moment. That time was now.

The Mayor sat in his office, whiling away night hours with paperwork, catching up on last minute work. Motion in the dresser mirror turned him around, to face his Advisor, there with gun in hand, grim determination fixed on his face. "It has to be done. The gates must be opened. Your role here is done, and well past. The others will make sure it goes smoothly. You can't stop us." The Mayor paused, unsure why this was happening. His information network should have informed him, the secret society should have... they hadn't been infiltrated, right? His hand moving surreptitiously, button pressed, began to talk, delay for time.

"You won't win. I've taken measures against this, the off chance of it happening. The secret" "society. Yes. We know. That can't stop us." "Alright, but my information network will find out. They'll find out, that you're behind it. Revenge will be theirs." Advisor actually laughed at that. "They won't. Preventions have been made. But enough talking. Your time's up." "I'm sure they ca-"

*BANG*

"It had to happen. I'm sorry..." Advisor turned around, away in time before the police arrived. But the society and network had been informed. It wouldn't end without a fight.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In separate part of town, more specifically, town gate, another man met with one, the Gatekeeper. The man was quick, efficient, deadly. Watching over outside, Gatekeeper only had few moments to realize, it was death, knife poking out from his chest, that crept upon him. Maniacal laughter entering his thoughts, words of another, to an almost-corpse. "Haha! Blood, dripping down down down. The gates, oiled. Oiled red. Open to the outside world. Open to all, all, all. Come! Rejoice! In death, turnover, ends, beginnings, let merriment mix with blood! Death with life! Happiness with sorrow! Hahah! It shall begin!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In early morning, one of townsfolk finishes packing, locks door behind, and places sign: "On Vacation". He travels to the gate, remarking how strange that it's open, but waves hello to those entering. "Good morn" to little response, a nod, a yawn, mumbled greeting. Four Newcomers enter as one leaves, to return eventually, but to what, can't begin to imagine. Newcomers watch events unfold, as villagers argue and paranoia strikes.

Gatekeeper and Mayor found dead that same morning, none could stop newcomers from entering. And Careless Village was open to suspicions, harbored since only they know when, let out for killing, to root out the usurpers, the murderers. Or Mayor supporters, as case may be. One would live, one would die, but villagers would be eliminated til newcomers arrived to attract suspicions. Would chaos, order win? And whose would it be? Time would tell, story yet to be told, one side or another to be eliminated.

And so it begins...

Spoiler


Day 1 begins
...and will end in 48 hours

Rules reminders:
Need 1/4 of living, non-Clueless Newcomers to lynch someone. Currently 4 votes minimum.
Clueless Newcomers may vote to lynch but may not be lynched. Likewise, cannot be Night Killed (NKed).
Clueless Newcomers lose above protection after first day and night in game, but gain their role.
Post lynch votes in red and remember to cross old ones out.
Ties result in no lynch or Executioner lynch. Can also vote for No Lynch to have Executioner decide. Reason for No Lynch is not announced (e.g. no Executioner, forgot to make decision).
Living and dead players/roles will be kept up to date in opening post. After each day or night phase, list of living players will be spoilered in post.
Roles are revealed on lynch but not on Night Kill. Failed NKs don't say why (e.g. hit wolf, hit baned player, forgot to make one).

Win Conditions:
Original Villagers: Outlast all Original Wolves.
Original Wolves: Outlast all Original Villagers.
Every Villager: Last to the end of the game and secure Village win (defeat all wolves, including those in reserve).
Every Wolf: Last to the end of the game and secure Wolf win (have majority vote, taking into account unclaimed spots).
Every Bystander: Last to the end of the game, regardless of winner.
Every Player: Every 5 days alive as a character = 1 extra win. (Clueless Newcomer doesn't count as a day)
Individuals: ??? (varies from person to person)

Player with most wins at end of game wins overall. Team that wins at end also wins overall.
