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

I apologize, Pikapikaaa, but the death of a villager besides the jester would screw us over.
Once again, I request that the jester reveals him/herself.

Pikapika, if you don't want to play this round just ask to be taken out by Sav.

And Ant brings up an interesting point. If the Jester reveals their self, and then we vote them out, it's a win/win. The Jester does his job, and we have one less person to worry about. Scyther, you kind of made yourself a big target by voting yourself off at the very first chance. So until someone else is the Jester, and they confess themselves, my Votes on Scyther.

Is that kind of game breaking? There really isn't any consequence to voting off the Jester, other than losing the vote. I don't know, it seems too easy as long as the Jester is compliant.

Okay I lied i'm jester. DRILL ME FOR LYING AND VOTE ME OUT

......................................................idfk anything anymore. /tableflipsallthethings

Pichu is apparently Jester, but why would Shad vote for himself? Also Suds, why are you voting me for being wrong? I just randomized it and it came out as you since idk who the heck to vote. I'm not going to change my vote until Shadow gets his butt online to explain himself. if pichu really is the JEster and Shadow is sure to be a wolf since he could have been doing that to fool us into thinking he is jester?

I'll pop on and put my reasoning (which are probably wrong ^^l|)

Suds is...acting suspicious, kind of similar to last game, but differently. Maybe because its because he has learned that voting for someone that will certainly result in a lynching, is bad, since we will probably detect him. But he is going for the 'retaliation' approach... But it is kind of what he does....Idk....

Shadow is kind of doing something that seems Jesterish...but it also could be that he is..trying to ensure his non lynch?....Probably wrong at both but...

For Pichu I kind of think that he is trying to get himself out of the game, without feeling guilty by asking Savato to get him out...or he could be telling the truth........

...
Like I said...I'm not good at this game........

I assure you, if I wanted to exit i would just ask Savato. Not a huge thing. Anyways, Yeah! I'm just gonna not look at this for a few hours.

Suds was a wolf, last game, he died first. That could be a HUGE thing that hit him. It can easily make one rethink their strategy if one dies first round due to something they did. Suds could also be trolling given he could easily be doing that. He already retaliates at everything anyway. Hostility and Retaliating for the heck of it gets you nowhere Suds... How do you think I found out you were a wolf last game?

Shadow was a Jester Last game, there's a close to zero chance the role of a jester fell onto him again.

Pikapi, I'm gonna say isn't the jester. His post about being voted off was after ant's first post speaking of the jester. After ant's second post, where he also repeats that same thing, Pikapi THEN says he's the jester. I'm not gonna trust him for that reason, but I won't disclude him from being a jester. He'll still be a choice...

Roles are absolutely random. It is entirely possible Scyther is the Jester again, just like how Suds gets a special role almost every game. Pikapika is also a little suspicious of Jesterish actions too, as perhaps of his opting out of the game was a ruse? I'm not sure. Scyther hasn't been on to say anything yet, so we'll see where this takes us.

I recall Shadow once saying in the chat he did it to see reactions. Thought you guys should know that. Could help a bit.

Well the truth is...

Spoiler:

.....................................Guys I think Shadow has been playing a little too much werewolf and it's getting to him...

Vote: Shadowscyther
It's obvious that shadow is the jester; nobody other than the jester would still be so casual about being voted out. If he'd changed his vote early on, it would be a different story, but no wolf would be so casual about taking his own life (there are much better ways of keeping yourself alive than committing seppeku) and special roles like the doctor and the seer would not waste their lives like this.
I mean, there's a chance that pika is actually the jester, and shadow is just trolling the fuck out of everybody, but seriously? I imagine that pika actually has more chance of being a werewolf than a jester, since s/he isn't convincing anybody to kill him/her.
It's too weak evidence to place blame over him/her, though (it's based on our reactions rather than his/her actions, after all), so I'll stick to voting out Shadowscyther.

Current votes:

Shadowscyther: 4
BlueKat12: 1
Suds: 1
Pikapikaaa: 1

With the votes remaining as it is, this day would result in Shadowscyther's lynching.

im the jester. it WAS a ruse when i said 'please vote me out', i didnt notice ant's post. then i noticed it. okay? vote me out. Want proof on me being jester? I cant quote or do anything like that.i WOULD if i Could.

KILL MEEEEEEE.
- Spy head, and me in this werewolf game.

Later.
- Everyone else participating, Medic.
