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!

True Fox, it is dangerous lynching and there is the possibility than the serial killer kills the werewolf. They don't know who the other is so we better hope they kill eachother. Also we'd be pretty screwed if only the 2 hostiles are left haha. I say we should go no lynch, and the doctor protect himself. The doctor needs to survive this round I think (Then again im a newb so yeah XD)

Fox: On the other hand, if the doctor protects himself, and he's the only one remaining, all he has to do is get one person killed and then protect himself at night. In addition, it's more likely than not that at least one of our enemies will be killed during the wait, or the doctor is attacked, leaving us with two villagers and an enemy. Hell, if we're lucky, they'll kill each other by accident!
Monkey: Oh. I guess you already said what I said.
That said, it's still extremely dangerous to not lynch anybody. There's a two in five chance that we lynch a bad guy, and if we lynch the wrong one, there will be a one in nine chance that they both lynch each other and a two in nine chance that one of them are killed AND a villager is attacked, a one in nine chance that they both attack the same person, a very low chance that both villagers are killed... I can't be bothered to do all of the calculations (right now; maybe later), but chances are actually leaning towards villagers (based on the assumption that we accidentally kill a villager), since it's notably probable (1/3 chance) that at least one of the enemies will die, and also notably probable (assuming that we don't lynch the doctor) that they'll attack the doctor and not get a kill (1/3, again)...
Hell, I'd say that it's actually BETTER if we lynch something, so long as it isn't a doctor! If we don't, there will be more confusion among the players and stuffs, and...
Yeah, I'm going to stop here. Do note that I'm still fairly sleepy, and I haven't checked all of the possibilities yet, so take everything said here with a grain of salt.

Alright:
If we lynch the doctor, we have a 3/9 chance of winning. If we lynch a villager, we have a 5/9 chance of winning. Finally, if we lynch a killer, we have a 5/9 chance of winning.
This means that there's a 23/45 chance of winning if we lynch, which is slightly greater than 0.5
Note that these calculations assume that the doctor always protects himself.
I'm going to go ahead and check what happens if we don't lynch.

Gaaah, I can't keep on doing the math.
Here, I'll just put up all immediate possibilities after the day if we don't lynch. (K=Serial Killer or wolf, V = Regular Villager, D=Doc - again, assumes that doctor protects himelf)
1/16=VVD (win)
1/4=KVD (1/2 chance of winning)
1/8=KKD
3/8=KKVD
1/8=KVVD
1/16=KKVVD

Tah Dah. It should be noted that in the final three possibilities, at least one killer knows who the doctor is, making things just a little bit harder for everybody.

Well those odds are beautiful

Screw it, I am going for a lynch right here.

Vote: CrimsonViper

Random pick here, nothing against you Viper. Also Doctor protecting yourself is the best idea here. Always a good idea on the first round

I think it's best we leave things like this to luck.
Vote: Monkeysage
This way, we get a 50/50 chance; one will die, and one will survive. It doesn't actually matter much, but it's entertaining. In addition, I'm fairly sure that Monkeysage isn't a doctor (because of the way he references them as though he doesn't view himself as one - I should note that I'm not a doctor either) so it should be relatively safe to lynch him.
By the way, I'm pretty sure night should have ended yesterday.

May I take a vote? I surely don't want to be lynched my very first round playing

I know we're supposed to leave it to chance, but for some reason I have this hunch that this should turn out for the better, so:
Vote:MonkeySage

I'm sorry Sage, but I just can't shake this feeling that you're a hostile player of some sort... I hope I'm not wrong...

Ant aint the doctor eh? Okie dokes then I guess I'll change my vote to be safe.

Unvote: CrimsonViper
Vote: Antonm1107

Vote: MonkeySage

Sorry monkey... but upon finding out that Ant isn't a doctor you changed to him, you could be doing so to cover your skin. And you don't refer yourself as a part of the community.

Argh! Darn you Second Thoughts!
Unvote: MonkeySage

Vote: Antonm1107

There! Now we're back to chance. Sometimes this game can get so aggravating whenever I keep changing my mind, but it's so hard to keep a decision! Especially when if I make one wrong move, it causes the entire game to go down the drain! And I don't even know which move that is!

Also, where is Sakura? She should have posted by now...

Savato to

Well...I do not yet have any definite opinion on the current situation.
Thus I did not feel the need to post.
I am still participating however.

*coughs* WELCOME TO THE EXTREMELY SUPER DUPER LATE NIGHT PHASE!

Not being able to decide if MonkeySage was guilty, or Ant was, they decided to flip a coin. Savato, held the gun, then GoldenFox flipped a coin. It turned. Turned. Turned....then fell into a pothole. CrimsonViper quickly ran after it, and declared the verdict.

A shot rang out and MonkeySage fell to the floor, dead. After many heated moments that MonkeySage refused to turn into a werewolf, they realized they killed one of their own.
MonkeySage the Villager was Killed. It is now the Day Phase. In 24 Hours, or when I receive all PMs, the Night Phase will begin.
