Werewolf (This is lots of fun..)

DungeonMaster77 · 08-21-2006, 03:22 PM

Okay folks, here's the deal! This runs like the ever-so-popular Werewolf party game. If you don't know the rules it's simple. Keep your faction alive. I will "Narrate" the game so that when everybody has made a decision, I post the results. Here is the story:

You all are in a lost town in Transylvannia, high in the mountains, when it snows so badly, that nobody can leave town. The next morning, a villager is found dead, shredded to pieces as if some wild animal has torn him apart! There must be at least one werewolf in your midst! It is time to dispense with some good old fashion mob justice to weed them out!

Here are the rules:

You have any given number of players, and as soon as I get enough for round 1, I will begin. I (or whomever the Narrator is) will PM each player with their role, which will be one of the following:

Villager: You are a villager. Your job is to stay alive, and ferret out the werewolves. Counts, obviously, as a villager.

Seer: Your job after night falls, is to PM the Narrator with the name of the person you want to know is in their hearts. You may or may not want to reveal who you are as you will be a target for the werewolves to kill, and they may be The answer is either Villager or werewolf.

Werewolf: Your job after night falls, is to lie, deceive, and cajole the villagers into not voting for you. PM the narrator with your vote on whom to kill. The Narrator will PM you with whomever is the other werewolf, so you can coordinate a vote, and send the narrator your final vote. You, obviously, count as a werewolf.

Now, this is the minimum cast of characters. We will be playing with a slightly added cast:

Mason: Your job is to ferret out the werewolves, and to protect your fellow Mason(s). There will always be a minimum of 2 Masons in a group. Your votes count as villagers.

Fool: Thinks he is a seer. Is told that he is a seer. When a fool gets his "forsight" in the evening, he gets a random chance as to what he "sees" when he points somebody out. When he "points" to the Seer, he will always see the Fool, and visa versa. Counts as a villager

Baner: This person is the carrier of the wolvesbane. His job is to protect someone he believes is a villager, from the nightly killings of the werewolves. Counts as a villager.

Devil: Is basically the seer for the werewolves. Counts as a werewolf.

You may recall, I spoke several times about a "counting as a [insert position here]" and votes. Well it is simple. Once the majority has voted for one person, that person is lynched. Night falls, and it begins again. The lynched person is "out," and can make comments, but nothing that could influence a vote. When a lynching happens, it is revealed as to which position the person was. After this, night falls, morning follows, and it begins again...

Now, for the villagers to win, either the villagers must kill all of the werewolves. For the werewolves to win, they must simply reduce the number of villagers to equal their current numbers.

Things to keep in mind: Yes, werewolves may lie about being the seer. Yes, werewolves can (and have, in my experience) kill the Devil. Yes, Masons get killed for protecting a brother Mason, as others may see it as a werewolf protecting a werewolf.

So, bring your friends, as the more we have, the merrier! Make sure you can keep up on this game, as it goes quickly!

Heh... Sounds so silly it has to be fun!

I'm in!

Korith · 08-21-2006, 03:26 PM

"Mafia" under a different name. I'm in.

ZombieRockStar · 08-21-2006, 03:38 PM

Ooh! Fun! I'm in.

And yeah, it is quite a bit like the game "Mafia." Except in Mafia you have the wonderfully gruesome depictions of the death scenes.

DungeonMaster77 · 08-21-2006, 03:49 PM

That's 3 so far. Yes, you are correct, Mafia is the less fantasy version of it. Once we get at least 3 more players by end of the day, and we begin. Otherwise, we will begin when we have at least 6 players!

Lucky · 08-21-2006, 03:51 PM

How about we wait 2 or 3 days? It's much more fun with more people.

DungeonMaster77 · 08-21-2006, 03:54 PM

Compromise, how about we wait until end of day tomorrow? Once we get one game, and folks see how much fun it is, we won't have as hard a time getting others to join in on round 2!

Lucky · 08-21-2006, 03:56 PM

Fair 'nuff.

Joosbawx · 08-21-2006, 04:19 PM

I'm in!

evnafets · 08-21-2006, 04:22 PM

Sign me up.
I always wanted to try this game.

DungeonMaster77 · 08-21-2006, 04:31 PM

This is going to be great. Five willing, and hopefully more! I am so excited. I haven't played this game in awhile.

Cathrindir · 08-21-2006, 05:03 PM

Sounds fun! I'm in!

Kantur · 08-21-2006, 05:13 PM

I'm in

Flabbicus · 08-21-2006, 05:22 PM

*Raises Hand*

[Elan]Pick me![/Elan]

Wonder if Lykan wants to join... :P

Lucky · 08-21-2006, 05:23 PM

I hope he does, I want to lynch him! With a handgun...

*BAM*

;D

Murky_Pool · 08-21-2006, 05:30 PM

I'll join, if the game can handle somone on UK time

Sneak · 08-21-2006, 05:37 PM

I'll join in the madness. I need some good Mafia style killing spree fun.

Death, your friend the Reaper · 08-21-2006, 06:58 PM

*shakes head*

Didn't you know you aren't ment to start these type of games while I am asleep? ::)

Although It would be a pleasure to play if you still have room, large games are funnest...

Flabbicus · 08-21-2006, 06:59 PM

Isn't it like 6 am in Australia?

Death, your friend the Reaper · 08-21-2006, 07:04 PM

More like seven, just coming on quickly before I head to the scholars

ninja_kitsune · 08-21-2006, 07:05 PM

I am so joining this. :D

Deckmaster · 08-21-2006, 07:58 PM

May I join?

DungeonMaster77 · 08-22-2006, 10:24 AM

All are welcome here. Once I have a solid number of players, meaning, the deadline to join is at 4:00 pm today U.S. Central Time, tomorrow morning, I will PM you all (yes, I know it is time consuming, but it will be worth it) with your role, and I will post here with the game start. Did everybody understand the rules okay, or does anybody have an questions?

DungeonMaster77 · 08-22-2006, 10:30 AM

I count 13 players interested so far, of course not counting myself, as I have to play narrator. This is going to rock. We have enough to use every roll I have listed.

Death, your friend the Reaper · 08-22-2006, 10:30 AM

This is one of those games that you learn more from playing I think. In RL I never understood it until I played it...

Joosbawx · 08-22-2006, 10:47 AM

Yes, I'm hoping that it becomes a bit more clear once it gets rolling along. Not due to your explaination, however, since that was very good. But seeing it in action will be better.

Can't wait to find out my roll or become fodder on the first night, hehe.

Shyftir · 08-22-2006, 03:27 PM

I am totally in at my college we actually had a "Mafia Club" organized that played whenever possible.

Alarra · 08-22-2006, 04:03 PM

Actually....we had this game on here earlier this year. It was great fun, although it kinda died. Please tell me this one won't die....

And, still room for me?

Korith · 08-22-2006, 04:10 PM

It only takes four to keep a thread from dying.

I hereby volunteer to bump this game in an effort to keep it from falling to page three, and to poke (via pm) the narrator if things seem to stop.

Lucky · 08-22-2006, 11:00 PM

Ok, I'm signing Bookman up for this, he doesn't want to because he doesn't understand, but he'll learn... I'll make him...

Get in here Bookman!
