Sign Up
Werewolf/Infected, in its most simplest form, is a murder mystery game where a battle of the wits ensues between the Innocents and the Infected. The Infected are attempting to kill off the innocents and lead them off their path while doing so, while the Innocents try to use clues, roles, and key items to sniff the Infected out of hiding.
To kill a player who you to believe to be Infected, simply vote to execute them. However, people aren't willing to accept them as an Infected if you don't provide evidence. For that player to die, a certain amount of players must vote for his/her execution. Every night, the Infected claim another victim, and every three nights, they infect an innocent, adding them to their horde.
The last team standing, Wins.

For those of you who are new to Werewolf, and are a little put off by the wall of Text, here is Mr. E's Werewolf Primer, basically a TLDR version of Werewolf.

Setting
A long time ago, there existed a city known as Valkor hidden away on an abandoned island. Very few knew about its existence for the island was the only place to mine a very rare ore which was harder than diamonds yet a malleable as clay. This ore was so rare and precious that of the few who managed to settle on the island, nobody ever told the outside world about this discovery. The ore was responsible for the island's advancement into a literal "City of Tomorrow." Robots, hovercrafts, and unique medicines made the place a literal treasure trove of technology for anyone who could manage to locate and settle there. Life was perfect for its inhabitants who lived a life that makes the word luxury look like kids play.
Unfortunately for the city, this perfect world was about to collapse. The scientists attempted to develop a new bacteria that would wipe out other diseases on the island; it was called "Bacteria X." The bacteria worked to perfection. Too well. After eradicating all bacteria on the island, Bacteria X evolved into a new form that could infect humans. The infected became insane super-beings who destroyed the city yet were destroyed by the robotic defenses. With no one to care for it, the machines and city eventually fell into disrepair and then obscurity. It seems this would be the end of the city.
Or at least, that was what would have happened. Myron Revel, famed treasure hunter and explorer, had discovered in his research a hidden route to the city thought lost for generations. Most would have thought it a mere fable yet Myron was not most people. Gathering his materials, he sent fliers all over the world with this message:
To Anyone who is an able-bodied explorer, meet me at the following coordinates. Simply send me a letter with the needed details and I'll will pay for any losses in travel. All who join me will venture to the lost city of Valkor. Thought lost for decades, this city was home to the brightest minds of the era and was a literal "City of Tomorrow." While the inhabitants have passed away, the treasure has not. Imagine the fame and riches you will receive when you uncover the lost technology of Valkor. I urge anyone who seeks fame and fortune to come with me on this voyage.
Little did they know that Bacteria X wasn't finished with the city or anyone foolish enough to enter it.

Voting;
Every Day, the Innocents get to vote on who to execute and where to search.
You will only be allowed to submit one vote a day for Execution. You may Retract your vote at any time, until the day is over.
Searching
Each day, the innocents get to choose what to do with the daylight hours available to them.
You vote to Search an Area of Valkor
The Innocents are given THREE USE POINTS. Some searches will require all three use points, some will require one.
How to Post
We use a simple, standard post format:
Myron (Name at the top of every post, underlined)
Hey, look, an ominously placed note! (Speech is normal text and the bulk of your post.)
He dances (actions in italics)
.
Well, the note says the Bob did it. Time to execute him! (Votes and questions in red)
Roles;
Innocent Roles;
Innocent; Just some regular old adventurer, who may or may not have taken an arrow in the knee.
Medic: A person with advanced medical training. Once per day, they can create a vaccine which they can give to someone and thus reveal their role, or "misplace" it and hope some finds it. A person injected with a vaccine can't be converted by the Infected and is safe from execution that day, though an Infected injected with a vaccine is still immune from execution but is not revealed as an Infected or cured of infection. Max 2
Thief; A master of lockpicking and all around stealing goods that aren't theirs.Is given the ability to perform a personal search every other day; Role of the Player is then revealed. Max 1
Valkor Tech Specialist; A being who has studied that advanced technology of Valkor and can attempt to use a device to speak with dead characters through PM's
Werewolf Roles;
Patient Zero; The leader of the Infected and the first to be infected by Bacteria X. He will send me the PMs of who to kill, and will coordinate with the other Infected. He will also be responsible for all Conversions.
Infected; Those infected with Bacteria X. They are indistinguishable from a regular person and can still behave like a rational human being. Everything about them is so normal that not even the most advanced medical tests can detect infection. The only surefire way to detect them is to shoot them in the head, killing them yet revealing the black bile that the Infected reveal. Infected are stronger than the average human, able to take on at least 3 healthy advlts at once. They are no longer the original person, now controlled by Bacteria X who seeks to infect and kill the innocents.
Daily Activities;
Day Change- Each day will last 24 hours from 11:00 PM to that time, the next day. This represents the daylight hours of the game day. All events that take place during the night are covered in the end of the day post
* Voting- Any player can vote at anytime, but only one vote per day will be counted. Voting will end at 11:00 PM EST. Any votes after that will not be counted. If <20% of players vote, no execution will take place. If there is a tie, and >50% both players will be executed, if there is a tie and there is a <50% vote, nobody will die. Please Bold your votes, if you do not, I will not count them. Players will also vote on a person to receive protection from the Infected if a vaccine has been found and a medic is still alive. If a player receives 25% or more of the protection vote than they will be immune from Infected attacks and conversions.
* Execution- Once a day, if voting dictates that there will be an execution, a player will be executed.
* Murder- Once a day, the Infected get to kill someone. This can be anyone, including another Infected.
* Conversions- Every three days Patient Zero will get the chance to convert some to their side.

2. I will most likely need a co-host. Anyone who wishes to volunteer simply say so.
