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!

Wow I'm blind...your post DOES say you edited it ^^

EDIT: Suspicion still stands

Basically, a bit happened in the chat but Sav said we should move it to the thread. KAt believes I'm a werewolf and not a seer, Doctor, or Villager due to the fact I'm trying to stay alive. Basically I have a couple easy things people can understand. All The villagers in the game want to convince other they're actually a villager so they can find the werewolf. Meaning all Villagers want to live, of course I'm going to defend myself. Secondly, A doctor or a seer would like to live due to the fact that they want to use their powers and help the people they think are villagers. Especially the Seer wants to do that. and third of all the werewolves also want to stay alive so they can kill off everyone. Basically, due to the fact one is trying to defend themselves from being lynched, doesn't mean they are automatically a werewolf. Thinking of it, everyone in the game wants to live. By using the excuse of "You're defending yourself or making up excuses to live" Everyone would do that if they're in a situation where they are in a spot they don't want to be in. That's also a reason I went no lynch the first time and changed to no lynch after a joke with Kat. Leaving nobody on the chopping block, or in this case above a lava pit. Is a bit better as it doesn't raise hostility between people.

Vote: Jikumo
Sorry, but shoving the blame on Cry seems suspicious...

-MexterInfinite: 2
-Crytic: 1
-Jikumo: 1
-Pikashock: 0
-RioluOmega: 0
-BlueKat12: 0
-Antonm1107: 0
-Suds: 0
-No Lynch: 0
-Bangbronze: DEAD, Villager
-SereneLittleRose: DEAD, Villager

With the current votes, the day would end with MexterInfinite's lynching.

Unvote: Crytic
Vote: No Lynch
Given Cry doesn't seem to have a huge effect on things at the moment, I feel as if she's an actual villager... Trust. So even though she's voting for me, I'll unvote her, for now I'll go for No lynching again... Unless something comes up to where I find suspicions of someone.

 With the current votes, the day would end with MexterInfinite's lynching.

I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT I AM INDEED A MORON.
So basically I was being the derpiest of the derp and was basically saying "You wouldn't care if you told a villager if you were a seer or a doctor.." and blah blah blah and I COMPLETELY forgot that if the werewolves KNEW who the doctor and seer was they could easily kill them and screw all of the villagers....

soo....I AM A EFFIN DEEEEEEERP
But my vote for Mexter still stands.

So again the chat strikes again. Kat says the editing is suspicious and her vote still stands because of that. With the editing, whether I edited in the joke part or not, I unvoted for Kat. What would be the purpose of unvoting for Kat and not mentioning it was a joke? Whether I put it in after the fact or not, Which I didn't as I already explained it was to edit the way I said it was a joke, I still did unvote for Kat. If I changed my vote instead, I'm sure someone, Specifically Crytic, already saw the facr I swapped to No Lynch which was the reason that she voted. The only time I edited the post was after Cry's post, meaning that I couldn't have done much but edited the joke and/or put it there.

I think that at least one of the people who voted on Bangbronze was a werewolf; it would be a perfect way to get two villagers in one go.
What's more, Suds changed his vote when the number of people who voted for Bronze neared the number of people who voted for nobody.
It's with this in mind that I Vote: Suds

Unvote: No Lynch
Vote: Jikumo

I feel as if Jikumo been quiet lately, the possibility of letting us do our own thing then swooping in for lynching. If he is a werewolf, being quiet allows for him to last longer than his team. That allows him to murder people during the night while we start lynching each other. Sometimes we get too caught up in things that we forget the quiet ones. That and the fact getting angry with each other may not help. After all, Anger causes Accidents. (I use that quote because I got stuck on a part in a game and that quote always appears in that part. It's engraved in my mind now...)

-MexterInfinite: 2
-Jikumo: 2

-BlueKat12: 0
-Antonm1107: 0
-Crytic: 0
-No Lynch: 0
-Bangbronze: DEAD, Villager
-SereneLittleRose: DEAD, Villager

 With the current votes, the day would end in a TIE, so the lynching victom would be determined at random between MexterInfinite and Jikumo.

Ant, I would like to start my question with some reasoning. As I said before in my previous post, it is highly possible that every person needs a reason to figure out who to kill first. Having a reason, and having it be a discreet reason would be the smartest way to go. You were highly against lynching Bronze, and the thing with that is Des/SereneLittleRose was the first person to throw the vote on her. And now you're suggesting to vote to lynch somebody who voted Bronze off, which is kind of suspicious to me. You're a freaking mastermind, and if you're on our side, that's incredibly helpful to have. But if you're on the werewolf side, then we're in trouble. So I just want to know, can you please give me some kind of way to tell that you're not a werewolf? Some kind of reasoning to oppose mine? If not I'm not voting for you anyways, that would be a stupid thing to do right now since it would do absolutely nothing to help the game. I just want to know if I can trust you once the rounds dwindle down.

It's impossible to prove that one is or is not a werewolf at this stage, but I can show you my thought processes:
First, I'll just make a list of who voted for what (In no particular order because LAZY)

No Lynch: Anton, Riolu, Mexter, Pika
BangBronze: Suds, Crytic, Bluekat, Meeper
Crytic: Jikumono
Pika: Bronze

Bronze was voted by four people, and four others voted for no-lynch. Jiku, the only living person that did not vote on these two options, voted on Crytic instead.

I'd like to now bring up my major suspects: Suds (for reasons I've already explained), and Riolu (due to the fact that he changed his vote to no-lynch only when Bronze's lynching was guaranteed, which would safety avert suspicion from him while giving wolves even more influence over the village). For the sake of argument, assume that my attempt to prevent a lynch was, in fact, a way to avert suspicion (if I was not myself, I'd be on my major suspects list, actually).

I'm obviously not voting for myself, so I had to choose between voting for Suds and Riolu. While Rio is a worthy choice (his actions could negate some suspicion towards him, and there wasn't any use in changing his vote at all), his actions could be attributed to an overly hopeful person that hoped that Jiku would change his vote as well.
Suds, on the other hand, changed his vote in such a way that Bronze would almost inevitably be lynched. What's more, he did it for no apparent reason, and at the same time that no-lynch reached the same number of votes as lynch bronze. There's no explanation that I can think of besides 'We need to kill somebody off'.

If I were to consider myself, I was adamant for not lynching, which could just as easily be attributed to a villager as to a werewolf. Nothing indicates me being a werewolf or not being a werewolf, so I'd stay square in the unsure are to be looked at closely, but not be voted on just yet.

I'd like to make three final notes here: First, if Suds is revealed to be a werewolf, my suspicion of Rio would be wiped, since Suds originally voted for him. It's hard to believe that both of them would be werewolves, and Suds would actively attempt to vote off his companion.

Second: You're also a large suspect, under the 'keep an eye on him' category. You're being very level-headed, and while that could be attributed to a savvy villager, it could also be attributed to a savvy wolf. You could have voted for nobody to avoid any suspicion, and you're not voting at all for now, which could indicate that you're waiting to see what everybody else votes on before voting yourself in such a way that a villager is killed or nobody is killed.

Third: Currently, five out of the eight villagers are not werewolves. That means five of us are actually trying to look for a wolf, and three are trying to whittle down our numbers. If no lynch is made, one person will likely be killed, lowering that number to four. If a regular villager is lynched, two will be killed, lowering that number to three, and effectively leaving us at the power of the wolves (since the three wolves could vote on one villager and lynch him, the game would become basically unwinnable, as there wouldn't be enough people to vote out the wolves). It's important that either nobody is lynched or a wolf is lynched if we want any chance of winning this. I'm taking a risk and having a wolf lynched.

Due to reasons of my temporal availability, the Day phase will be slightly extended and will end 30.5 hours from the time this post was made.

Happy Werewolf hunting!

Gosh I am both afraid of and happy that Ant has a large chance of being on our side...
