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!

I'm going against my normal random lynching this round.

Vote: No Lynch

That settles it,

Vote: No Lynch

Gimme a minute to do some calculations...
7 people, two wolves, one biochemist, one immune person not mutually exclusive fro the chemist. Right. I don't think it's possible to get an accurate calculation (without being a math genius or not lazy), but if we lynch now, we'll have a 2/7 chance of lynching the enemy, and if we lynch the wrong person (disregarding the chemist and immune one), we'll be down to 2/5 tomorrow. But if we do not lynch, we'll be down to 2/6 instead, and with no clue whatsoever of who could be the enemy.
I'll put in my true vote tomorrow, but for now I'll abstain.
PS: Pika, can researchers tell whether their target was protected or is immune, or do they have to rely on guesswork?

Y'know what? I vote no lynch, but we should really start lynching tomorrow. We can't just keep on refusing to kill until the last minute; we need to take some risks.

No Lynch: 5 votes.

I'll give it until tomorrow morning, and if nobody else posts it will transition to the night phase.

So... It's four days later. Is it night?

It is, Pika told me he posted night, but it didn't go threw aparantly....

Yes, it is the night phase. I posted a few days ago but it apparently didn't go through and I got caught up in midterms.
Nobody was lynched. It is now the Night Phase.

Uh, is it still night, because it's been quite a long night....

Anyone know any alternatives to pika?

The next morning was met with...seemingly no disturbances. Until somebody realized Anton was not around. Upon checking his tent, a puddle of something appearing to be bloody and sticky on the ground with his clothes on top made it fairly obvious that he was dead.

Anton is dead. It is now the day phase.

Noooo! Not Anton! We shalt avengeth thine life!
At least if I knew who to pick...
Umm... We should probably start lynching now, so I vote we lynch Pichupichuu. I know it seems random, but I don't know if he's posted very much since we started, and his silence worries me. Then again, I'm probably over-analyzing stuff... :'\

Well actually that's a good observation Goldi (and the old English as well |D), however you also must take in account another thing with silence...when was the last time Pichu was on? The site said his last 'visit' was last year, and since the game started in January, there is no possible way for Pichu to be posting anything, much less sending a message to lynch anyone..,so I highly doubt that Pichu was the one.

Does anyone else have a theory? Honestly I got nothing... ._.''

True, Saku's objection makes sense. Are there any other users, who haven't been online lately?

Oh! I would never have thought to check that! Nice thinking! Anyway, upon further inspection, MexterInfinite was on recently enough to be in (the 17th to be exact). He has also been eerily quiet for how recently he's been on.
Unvote:Pichupichuuu
Vote: MexterInfinite
What do you two think?
