Werewolf/Mafia - A forum game.

First topic message reminder :

It has come to my attention, that this forum had been lacking a thread for the game Werewolf, also known as Mafia up to now. Thus, I've decided to launch one of them.

Werewolf Rules:

At the beginning of a round of Werewolf, all participating players will be assigned a role, which will be determined randomly. Most players will be Villager roles, while there will be a small number of Werewolves and other roles as well, depending on the size of the game.

There are two alternating phases, a Day phase and a Night phase.
The game starts in a Day phase. In this phase, all players can communicate freely with one another. All players can vote for a player to lynch or to perform no lynch for the day.
Should a previously set amount of time (usually 2-3 days) have passed, the player, who has recieved the most votes, will be lynched and thus removed from the game. Their role will be revealed for all to see. Should a player recieve the absolute majority of votes before the time is over, the day ends immediately with that player lynched.
A lynched player can not participate in the current round anymore, including talking.

As the Day phase ends, the Night phase begins. In it, talking is not allowed.
The Werewolves use PMs to talk to each other and agree on a player to kill.
This target will then be PMed to the host of the game by one of them.
Other roles with abilities, that can be used during the night PM the host, which player they want to target, if they want to do so at all.
After the host has recieved targets from all roles capable of targeting or a previously set amount of time has passed (usually 1-2 days), the Night phase ends, and all dead players will be revealed, including their roles. As the night ends, another Day phase begins.

This cycle continues, until either the Villagers or the Werewolves have achieved their victory condition.

You are not allowed to talk about the game outside of this thread!
Quoting, Fakequoting and using screenshots are not allowed!


The Roles:

Villager: The Villager is the most common role. Villagers only know their own role in the beginning. They have no powers aside from the right to vote for a player to lynch in the Day phase. They are aligned with the Town Faction and thus win, should all Werewolves die.

Werewolf: The Werewolves are the antagonists of the game. While there are few of them, every Werewolf will recieve the names of the other Werewolves per PM at the beginning of a round. Not only can they vote for a player to lynch in the day phase, but they can agree on a player to kill in the Night phase as well. They are allowed to communicate between themselves using PMs. They are aligned with the Anti-Town Faction and win, should they outnumber the Town Faction.

Alpha Wolf: Functions exactly like a normal Werewolf, but shows up as a Villager, should it be investigated by the Seer.

Doctor: The Doctor is a Villager with a special ability. There will only be one Doctor in a round. The Doctor can vote on a target to lynch in the Day phase. In the Night phase, it can PM the host a player to protect. Should that player be the target for the Werewolves to kill that night, the kill will fail. The Doctor can protect itself. Since it is aligned with the Town Faction, it wins, should all Werewolves die.

Seer: The Seer is a Villager with a special ability. There will only be one Seer in a round. The Seer can vote on a target to lynch in the Day phase. In the Night phase, it can PM the host a player to investigate. As the next Day phase begins, the Seer will be told the role of the investigated player with a PM. Since it is aligned with the Town Faction, it wins, should all Werewolves die.

Vigligante: Can choose a player to kill every night, but doesn't have to. Wins with the Town Faction.

Serial Killer: Can choose a player to kill every night, but doesn't have to. Wins, should everyone else be dead.

Lovers: Always at least two players. Should one of them die, the other one commits suicide. All Lovers know of the innocence of their loved ones. They can talk with each other per PM. They win with the Town Faction.

Jester: Wins, should it be lynched. Loses, should it survive or die for another reason than being lynched.

Other Roles: While many other possibilities for roles exist, I'll keep it simple at first and only use these roles. Should I add another one for a later round, I'll explain it.


Voting: Every player has exactly one vote for each Day phase.
To vote, please use the following format:

Vote: Playername

If you would like to withdraw your vote, use the following format:

Unvote: Playername

You can cast your vote onto another player, should you withdraw your first vote.

Should there be a two-way tie, the lynched player will be determined randomly.
Should one of the tieing parties be No Lynch, the Lynch will happen.
Should there be a three-or-more-way-tie, no lynch will happen.


I will now wait for participants. Should we get enough participants, I will start the round and send out the role PMs.

Should there be any questions, feel free to ask me!




Current Players:

-Savato
-Pichupichuuu






Hosting order:


-Suds, Madness of Intellect

-MexterInfinite, Winner of the Vietnam War

Released from hypersleep again, the test subjects were shocked to find blood everywhere.
One of the pools had tracks leading away from it, but no source of the blood to be found.
In the middle of the largest pool however, the body of Shadowscyther was lying.
A search of his body revealed a bottle of antipsychotic medicine - unopened.
While SAVaTOS had apparently already taken away the gun, a sigh of relief went through the small crowd as it became evident, that:

Shadowscyther the Serial Killer had been killed.

It is now Day. The Day phase will last 47.5 hours from the time this post was made or once a majority of 5 votes for one player has been reached.

Well, I say we should still vote on no shoot.

Vote: No Shoot

I'm with suds, one serial killer down isn't enough information

Vote: No shoot

I'm not saying it was aliens...but it was aliens. Anyways we can't vote no vote every time logically because if we do that the killers get to kill more people. We need to discuss and share theories about the subject. So on that note, anybody have any theories at this point? Honestly Vulpes being quick to jump onto the bandwagon is a bit suspicious to me but that could also be me being incredibly paranoid since they're voting no lynch to try and wait.

IDK, I'm just afraid a bad vote would mean we kill the doctor or something. What I asked myself was "who would want to kill Shadowscyther, and why?" and I couldn't derive anything from that. Then I asked myself, we have two wolves to fight, and a defender who might accidentally turn on us... Then there are 6 of us working together who pose no threat to each other unless we vote the other of us off.

I still haven't figured the strategy out, but I know one thing, probability says we're going to get one the good guys, and we don't have enough information to know who is who.

Hint from SAVaTOS: There was either a Defender OR a Lunatic in the game.
Since a Lunatic was killed, there can't be a Defender.

Okay, in that case we have two wolves, a doc, and a seer still. If the seer isn't killed by our faulty voting, were we to vote off someone random, then we can figure out who the wolves are. I think Jax is innocent, personally. A killer probably wouldn't be making jokes. Same with suds. Headphone, serene, pika, ant, you're all still on my list of potential threats. So I suspect 4/6 people, and there are 2/6 of ya'll who are wolves.

That means there is a totally viable possibility that with all my suspicion I wouldn't vote a wolf. Even worse, that means that the same 2/6 of people are on my side, and if that shooting people now might hurt. I will start voting people to die when we loose our seer, because after that it's all random anyway.

EDIT: Well, unless the wolves suddenly announce themselves but they won't do that obviously.

I personally do think we should vote for someone, but like some are saying, we don't really have any info at all... However, at the same time, continuing to vote for no shooting won't really get us anywhere. At the same time the risk of losing someone we need may be a bit worse. I don't mean to really be a bit like I don't care for the villager side in general, but casualties will happen, It's unavoidable. So I myself am taking a shot in the dark and calling a vote on Kat. Also Shadow, A killer may make jokes also. Plus Jax makes jokes all the time regardless. So yes, Vote: BlueKat12.

Current Result: No Lynch

/shot a thousand times for unnecessary haiku post.
/regrets nothing.

At this point, I'm just having fun watching the bodies fall. Blood has such a pretty color, don't you think?

As much as I'm tempted to shoot Serene for that TERRIBLE excuse for a Haiku, I still vote No Shooting.

May the mayhem and bloodshed continue! BWAHAHAAAA!

*Is quite aware of how loose of a hold he has on reality. You mind your own business, good sir and/or madam!*

Vulpes, I'd just like to point out that killers do indeed make jokes. A certain somebody provided a perfect example of that in another universe.
Anyway.
While I believe that we cannot no-vote forever (doing so will inevitably lead to our loss, as the serial killer who may have been able to kill both droids while we avoided murder appears to now be dead), I admit that there is no proof of anybody being a droid as of now; nobody has any vendettas with Scythe, and so far nobody has made any slips (except, perhaps, Mexter, who seems to wish to kill with no proper justification, but that's not proof enough for a killing YET.) Vulpes is right; there were no specific benefits for the droids from killing Scythe (well, none that were known at the time).
With this in mind, I'd like to vote No Shooting.

As a majortiy had been reached, the day ended without any too serious injuries.

It is now Night. Ends 42 hours from the time this post was made or until I have recieved all relevant PMs. Blah blah...you know the drill.

As the new day began, the test subjects left their hypersleep capsules again, only to find Suds missing.
SAVaTOS began to explain:
"I let him go, because he has reached the goal of this test. He managed to answer the question I had  been asking you all. It's sad, that you seem to be incapable of solving the puzzle, though."
A bloodcurling scream and various loud sounds coming from the Aperture Science Emergency Incinerator pointed to another course of action however.
In his hypersleep capsule, the test subjects found a picture. It was Suds with what appeared to be his family, he himself dressed in surgeon's  clothing.


Suds, the Doctor has been killed. It is now Day, which will last 47 hours from the time this post was made or until a majority of 5 players have voted for the same option.

Well, I must admit, THAT one I did not see coming.

No Shoot

Now whatsoever are we poor Test Subjects going to do? Not looking so good for us without our doctor.

Let the cries of suspicion and paranoia begin! May level-headed, rational analysis give way to fear, anger, and confusion!

"What a wonderful game it is we play!"
