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

To hell with it. I might as well get this over with now.

Vote: Shadowscyther

Shadow: Five
Mex: One

I shall have one more vote put on shadow before he is auto-lynched.

You know, it's obvious ShadowScyther's done for, so:
Unvote: MexterInfinite
Vote: ShadowScyther
Sorry Shadow...

An alert from me. (Using parents iPhone.) Verizon Internet is who we use. Recently one of their power lines went down, so we don't have internet. I'll be posting less, mostly around these times until they get it back up. Thank you.

It was an easy decision. Shadowscyther was the villages least favourite, and it seemed he was the most suspicious, and was put to the guillotine. The axe fell down, and off came his head.. And nothing happened. He was an innocent.. A search of his house found that he was a normal villager, and thus, the day ended, having the villagers go to sleep in peace.. well not really more like they went to sleep unsteady.
NIGHT HAS BEGUN.
Griefers, Be free.

The villagers wake up, and gather infront of the currently rebuilding mayors house. They have a headcount and no-one is missing..It appears that the priest had distracted them from their target with diamond.Everyone is okay other then the two villagers...

DAY HAS RISEN. EVERYONE IS ALIVE.

Good job to the doctor. That gives us another day to find the werewolves.

I'm not going to vote YET. Instead, I'm going to make a quick summary of everybody's actions:

GoldenFox voted for Scythe, then switched to Mexter because he felt sorry for the former, then BACK to scythe. While this is perfectly fine for a newbie that doesn't know about the situation with Fox, I have no choice but to dock some trust from him nonetheless. In addition, he argued with Mexter, making vague threats as to what he'd do in the evening, which points heavily towards him being either a wolf or a jester (as wolves can easily pretend to want to get murdered to remove suspicion from them). In addition, he has stated that he's a wildcard. I believe that lynching GoldenFox is CURRENTLY the most certainly beneficial course of action.

MexterInfinite had a fairly long conversation with GoldenFox, though it was largely irrelevant to the game decision. Nonetheless, I should note this regardless, as it establishes a relationship between these two.

Savato told Mexter that Goldenfox could be implying that he was a jester.

Beyond that, everybody's actions are not notable; they voted for ShadowScyther and made maybe one line or two with either an apology or an accusation. Whoever was targeted - and therefore protected - was likely attacked for meta reasons. For example, Pikashock and myself have previously established ourselves as being good at analyzing other people's actions, and Savato, as the game's original host, may be threatening to the wolves. It's possible that somebody tried to kill Mexter to bring suspicion upon GoldenFox, and the priest protected Mexter instead, but I have my doubts about that. Regardless, whoever was attacked and protected must have been an obvious target.

Priest, please do not reveal your role; you're still very valuable to us. In addition, you have knowledge of somebody's innocence, and can attempt to steer us towards the right path.
Now, let's find these freaking griefers!

So we're basically back in the first day except we got our revenge on Shadow... I was sort of hoping he was a wolf. Kill two birds with one stone. Unless Pichu purposely made it so that he'd be a villager so wolves wouldn't be down a person. Which even if it'd be unfair to the wolf, it still should be randomized. As that can happen easily.

But, should we just take a guess in the dark again? Pretty much like we(or rather I) have done pretty much every game since the one with two or three days of no lynching?

Well...one would have to consider, that Golden could be a Powerrole as well, trying to fake being the Jester to avoid both Lynching and Nightkills as the Jester is not of much use to either faction.

My fear is he may not be a wolf. For all we know, he could be the doctor.(Trying to pull a crazy stunt like Shadow can get you lynched Golden! /shot) Worse could be if we lynch him and he's the seer. The seer is pretty much our Ace in the hole, granted they stay alive. We have a 2 in 8 chance of him being a wolf. Yes I know I'm saying I'm not a villager as I'm counting myself in that 8 (As 9 people were in the game as it started) But I'd rather not reveal any info on MY role and feel like more of a background number that helps out.

On another note, Who's all left in the game anyway?

-Savato
-MexterInfinite
-Antonm1107
-Sakura
-Pikashock
-Xeryd
-Shadowscyther
-Goldenfox5

Here you go, Mexter.

Now, the problem with Mexter's and Savato's fears is that while Goldenfox COULD be a special role pretending to be a jester pretending to be a wolf, it is much more likely that Goldenfox is a jester pretending to be a wolf, or a wolf pretending to be a jester pretending to be a wolf (CURSE YOU, RECURSION!). That's like saying that we should lynch Bob (random name) because there's a two in seven chance that he's a wolf despite absolutely no indication as to what he might be.
EVERYBODY here has a chance to be a special role, and there is no indication whatsoever that Goldenfox holds one (although I'm open to somebody proving me otherwise). Contrarily, there are some (not many, mind) indications that s/he is either a wolf or a jester, which makes it more likely that we benefit from killing him/her than anybody else (again, please poke any flaws you see in my logic.)

Okay, that logic is sound.
Well...it's the best guess we have, I guess.

Vote: Goldenfox5

Eh... I don't know... I'm thinking more towards a random guess. I'd rather be sure of Golden until then. My bets are however, he's the jester. WE sort of established last time I don't like trying to lynch the jester. For now however, I'm just gonna go with a random guess. I'll go for Pika.

Vote:Pikashock

This was completely randomized. I got people, and i went in the order i posted, and did a number to see if it was villager jester werewolf doctor or seer.
1 Vote Pikashock.
1 Vote Goldenfox.
