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!

Pika, time to host the game :3

Suds is correct! This round is now hosted by Pikashock!

I would like to join this game~

Same. I think it may be better to restart the list for signing up as one person not responding may happen with more people the more time that was wasted.

The Player Signup List has been reset!
If you would like to participate in the next round, you will have to sign up again!

Rejoining.

I'm in!

DON'T FORGET ABOUT LITTLE SUDS!!!!! *Listens To Country Music In The Background*

Just posting to confirm that I'm ready to host this round.

Im joining in.

Alright, time for a bit of explanation before we start. This round is a Virus based version of Werewolf, so I'll first explain rolls.

Researchers: The Werewolves of this game. There are two of them, and they are people who are immune to the virus. Their goal is to infect and kill the other players, which will result in their deaths if their blood type does not match the immune one. There are two researchers. NOTE: THE RESEARCHERS HAVE INJECTED THEMSELVES AND ARE IMMUNE TO THE VIRUS.

Campers: The villagers of this game. Nothing is different about their roll, they do nothing at night and pick somebody to lynch during the day phase.

Biochemist: This role is a combination of the Medic and the Seer of previous games. You can choose one person in the night phase, and you will both protect them and find out if they have been injected. This is worded specifically for reasons to be explained with the blood types. This means the Biochemist should pick carefully, as they may find out that someone is a researcher but they could also waste a night of protection. NOTE: THE BIOCHEMIST WILL NOT BE TOLD OUTRIGHT THAT THE ONE THEY CHECKED IS A RESEARCHER. THEY WILL ONLY BE TOLD IF THE PLAYER HAS BEEN INJECTED OR NOT.

Now an explanation on blood types. All of you have been given a role, and also a blood type. The virus does not affect every blood type, there is one specific and unknown kind that it does not affect. The researchers both have this blood type, and in addition one of the other roles has the blood type as well. THIS MEANS THAT THE CAMPER/BIOCHEMIST WITH THIS BLOOD TYPE CANNOT BE KILLED DURING THE NIGHT PHASE. In order for the Researchers to win, they must convince the rest to lynch this player or lynch him/her themselves. IF THE PLAYER WITH THE IMMUNE BLOOD TYPE IS SELECTED BY THE RESEARCHERS IN THE NIGHT PHASE, THE NEXT DAY WILL PLAY OUT AS IF THE RESEARCHERS CHOSE NOT TO KILL ANYONE. YOU WILL NOT KNOW ANYONE WAS ATTACKED. BE WARY, IF THE BIOCHEMIST CHECKS A CAMPER WHO'S IMMUNE AND HAS BEEN SELECTED BY THE RESEARCHERS, OR CHECKS THE RESEARCHERS, THEY WILL ONLY BE TOLD THAT THEY WERE INJECTED. NOT IF THEY WERE A RESEARCHER OR NOT. THIS MEANS YOU MUST THINK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE PLAYER IS SIMPLY IMMUNE TO THE VIRUS AND HAS BEEN SELECTED BY THE RESEARCHERS, OR IF THEY ARE ACTUALLY A RESEARCHER.

This could go very badly or very well, but however it goes it should be interesting.

Now, all of you find yourselves waking up on a quite beautiful morning in the campground just outside of town. You don't know much about each other, but nothing seems to terribly wrong with anyone. As you go about your business in the area, screams and a loud thud can be heard from the trailer belonging to Pikashock. As the people at the campground step inside, it is easy to see that the walls are now caked with the remains of Pikashock's body, having somehow exploded. It can be seen on an arm by the door that there is a mark that resembles that of being injected with something via syringe. Also supporting this idea is a manila folder, well, it was manila, before it got soaked with insides. The pages in the folder speak of an experimental virus and two researchers sent into the campground to test the affects of it, though it gives no names. With nobody else around, it would seem that there are people killing using some sort of injection. Out in the forest and secluded from society, everyone decides it's Lord of the Flies time and begin to talk to each other, debating if they should lynch anyone or not and if so, who to lynch.

It is currently the day phase. Talk to each other and decide what to do.

(Yay, it's beginning!)

I don't think we should lynch anyone yet, but I'll wait for my vote until I see the responses of the others.

Well, we've got a few extra people this time (Phew!), so we can afford to do something other than randomly lynch someone. I agree with Suds when he says it's a good idea to wait a round. Maybe the Biochemist can get some info in this next night phase, and then we can decide what to do. Anyone else agree?

I vote for no lynching this round.

Makes sense I guess. We don't really have alternatives here.

Vote: No Lynch
