--Introduction--
Hello and welcome to Werewolf: Vampire Villa. I, Hircine, shall be your host. The last game played was Werewolf: Mayday.
Werewolf is a murder mystery where your objective is to kill the other team. The 2 teams, werewolves and innocents, have different ways to achieve this objective.
Every day lasts for 22 hours from 2pm EDT to 12pm EDT. Each night the arch-wolf will PM me a target to kill. I will use the wolves’ profiles to leave evidence against them on the write-up and it will be the innocent’s job to hunt them down and execute them. During the day it is the wolves’ job to mislead the innocents and stay alive for as long as possible. Everyone has one execution vote. In order to find more evidence the innocents can search 2 locations a night. Everyone has one search vote.
--Setting--
In this game, we’re visiting the manor of an eccentric horror writer in Ohio. The owner has called all of you together to take place in a grand challenge. He has promised a mystery prize to the winners. The time is present day.
--Joining--
Joining the game is as simple as filling out the character sheet below. Your character is not someone for you to roleplay, because this game is not a roleplay. Your character should be a voice for you to speak through. Everything you know, your character knows. I reserve the right to make any changes as I see fit.
Name: Self explanatory.
Age: 13+
Gender: Also self explanatory.
Height/Build: Please post in feet / Please use words like heavy, slim, average, etc
General Appearance: What do you, in general, look like?
Occupation: What does your character do when he or she’s not doing super things?
Possessions: 3-5 items. Note that weapons give you no extra powers in game.
General Personality: How does your character tend to act (especially under pressure)? Include at least four traits.
Hobbies: When your character isn’t being chased by werewolves, what does he or she like to do?
History: Where does your character come from? Please use no more than four lines.
--Roles--
Innocent Roles
Angel(s):
-An otherworldly figure charged with protecting those who cannot protect themselves from the true evil among them.
? Every day, the Angel will PM the host with the name of whom they wish to protect.
? If the Angel protects someone targeted for attack, the attack fails.
? If the Angel protects someone targeted for conversion, the conversion is blocked.
Sneak:
- Starting on day 2, the sneak will PM me with a target. In the evening he will search that person and be told their role. This happens on Day 2, 4, 6, etc
Matchmaker:
? The Matchmaker will PM the host with the names of the two characters to be bonded. This happens on the Day 3, Day 6, etc.
? Upon being bonded, the characters learn each others roles and can PM each other freely. If one character dies, the other dies. If one is converted or a wolf, the other joins the wolf team.
? All bonds are permanent.
Masons:
? This is different from bonding: they are not told if the other is converted and they do not die if the other dies.
? Masons will appear as wolves when targeted for investigation by the sneak.
? Masons are free to PM their partner
***When a sneak or angel is converted, he or she loses his or her powers. The Matchmaker retains his or her powers.***
Evil Roles
Werewolf:
-An innocent tainted by the mark of true evil and darkness to prowl the world as a fiendish hound.
? Werewolves and the Arch Wolf are allowed to PM each other freely.
Arch Wolf:
-The leader of the pack and thus the strongest and biggest. He rules his underlings as he sees fit.
? The Arch Wolf and werewolves are allowed to PM each other freely.
? Each day, not including conversions, the Arch Wolf will PM the host with the name of a character to be killed. Unless that character is protected by an Angel, the character will be killed.
? Upon the death of the Arch Wolf, the oldest surviving werewolf will take his place.
--Procedure--
Here's how this will all go down. I, your humble host, will post a writeup concerning the events that transpired overnight. Then, during the day, you (the players) will proceed to sift through the clues, ask me questions, and decide who the murderers amongst you are. Of course, the bad guys will be devious and try to get you off their trail. You vote for the person you wish to have executed, where you want to search during the night, and those with roles will PM the host with the decisions for their power for that day.
Each day will end at 12:00pm EDT, and the writeup will be posted once I've sent out PMs and finished writing it. From there, you vote and ask your questions, and I answer them ASAP.
Two locations will be searched per day.
Conditional voting and voting deferral will not be allowed in this game.
Once voting has closed, the player with the most votes against him/her will be executed. There is a 20% voting requirement, otherwise no execution will occur that night. If there is a tie in the votes, and 60% of the players have voted, both will be executed.
Nightly events follow this template:
1. Mob executes.
2. Mob searches.
3. Angel(s) protect.
4. Sneak investigates.
5. Wolves murder/convert.
6. Matchmaker bonds.
--Posting--
Please post coherently and sensibly and in this format (underline your name, italicize actions, bold your votes and questions):
Mr. Imnotawolf
I’m talking right now! Now I’m doing something really cool, like jumping up and down. Now I’m going to vote to kill that guy and search that place.
OOC: Now I’m talking out of character to tell you I’m going to sleep now.
BIC: Now I’m asking the host a question: hey host, what color is the dead guy’s blood?
Other rules:
- Do not edit votes in or out. If you do I shall smite you. Just make a new post.
- Quoted material must be accurate. If you lie you must paraphrase.
- No OOC evidence. I’m going to be strict on this and I’ll quickly smite anyone who oversteps the line.
- Voting is 20% for a single, 60% for a double.
- Posts must be coherent and legible. I’ll run a 3 strike policy on this.
- Day ends at the same time each day regardless of whether I am there to confirm it or not.
- No dead posting. Excessive dead posting will be reported to the moderators.
- If you role reveal you can no longer be protected by the angel(s)
- If you remain inactive for three days you will be killed in a hilarious manner.
