DEATH NOTE: WEREWOLF
Brilliant but bored high school genius Light Yagami discovers a supernatural notebook called a Death Note, dropped to earth by a mischievous Shinigami (God of Death) named Ryuk, to cause chaos for his own entertainment.
The Death Note grants its user the ability to kill anyone whose name and face he knows, by simply writing their name and manner of death in its pages. Light wishes to create and rule a world cleansed of evil, and begins killing criminals at an epidemic rate, envisioning himself as a God of Justice.
The media calls the mysterious vigilante murderer “Kira” (Killer). Websites spring up in tribute to Kira, praising his brand of justice and asking him to murder specific people. Kira’s killings also catch the attention of Interpol and the world-famous genius detective “L”. L’s identity is a closely-guarded secret. He swears to catch the supernatural serial killer known as Kira and bring him to justice.
Now Kira and L find themselves pitted in a deadly game of cat and mouse, each attempting to outwit and outmaneuver the other, both believing in the righteousness of their cause. Neither will ever stop, until the other is dead.

THIS GAME HAS NEW ROLES. PLEASE READ THE OP CAREFULLY.
Basic Rules:
At the beginning of the game each player is given a 'role' at random and in secret (via PM) by the moderators. footy_fumbler is my co-mod for this game. Regular villagers don't receive a PM, naturally. Those roles belong to 1 of 3 factions: Kanto (Villager), Kira (Werewolf) and Stalker (Independent).
The aim of the Villagers is to identify and kill all of the Werewolves and the Independent before the evil factions can kill enough villagers so that (# of Werewolves = # of Villagers). Only one faction (Good / Evil / Independent) can win.
How are players killed?
Each 'turn' of the game will last approximately 24 hours and also represents one 'day' of game time, thus a game will go on for several days before it is concluded. There are two 'phases' to every turn of the game;
Night Phase (8:00pm – 9:00am): When factions including a Death Note owner secretly decide among themselves, via PM communication, which Villager (one per night) that they shall kill and then inform the moderator via PM. Others with a Night action also enter their actions now via PM to the Mods. Decisions for the night phase are to be in no later than 9am.
Day Phase (9:00am – 8:00pm): After the results of Night actions have been announced, everybody, Villagers, Werewolves and Mafia alike, discusses and ultimately votes publicly in the game-thread upon which player (one per day) that they shall lynch and kill. Votes for the day phase are to be in no later than 8pm.
Obviously during the day the Villagers will want the group to vote for and lynch an evil player, whilst the evil players themselves will want not to be lynched; herein lies the fundamental strategy of the game:
Can the villagers identify the evildoers whilst at the same time convincing the rest of the group that they're not evil? And can the evildoers convince the group that they're not evil at all and thus avoid being lynched?
Werewolf Etiquette:
There are two main rules which everyone must follow in order for the game to run successfully;
DEAD PLAYERS MUST LEAVE THE GAME
If you are killed at any point during the game then you are no longer allowed to participate although I will allow a farewell post, but that post cannot impact the remainder of the game.
THERE MUST BE NO PRIVATE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PLAYERS EXCEPT BETWEEN WEREWOLVES and FLOGS
Except for the above-mentioned groups sending PMs between themselves, other forms of private communication concerning the game are not allowed.
Anyone caught sending screen captures of BigFooty of any kind in this thread will be mod-killed instantly with no warning.
Anyone caught quoting PMs from the mods will be mod-killed without warning.
Missing 2 lynch votes in a row or 3 votes in total will see you mod-killed. Missing 2 night actions (if given a role) will see you mod-killed. You may choose to not use a night action but you must state so in your PM.
For this game we will not be using the Reason for Lynching rule. Vote for anyone for any reason at any time during the Day Phase.
Voting:
During the Day Phase players must vote for whom to lynch, your vote must be formatted in bold like this: Player Name.
For this game you may vote NO LYNCH.
Upon the voting deadline (end of day-phase) the votes will be tallied by the moderators and whoever has received the most will be lynched and be out of the game: remember, once killed you cannot take further part; do not reveal your roles to anyone until the game has been concluded.
Any ties in voting will result in both players being lynched.
ROLES:
EVIL
Kira:
Light Yagami (Alpha Wolf) – Appears as a Villager to Seer investigations. Starts with a Death Note, can kill one player per Night while he has it. Can’t be Night-killed. Can relinquish his Death Note at Night after using it if he senses he will be apprehended. If he does he loses all memories of his deeds (he’s smart enough to leave himself clues to attempt to recover his Death Note). If apprehended without the Death Note, he will be out of the game but he will still count toward tallying the winner. He can’t kill without the Death Note.
Ryuk (Wizard) – Once per Night Ryuk can determine the role of one player, rather than just their alignment.
Light and Ryuk share a PM.
Misa (Wolf) - A famous model. In love with Kira. Must attempt to find Light to join his PM by asking Mod once per Night “Is _____ Light?” If apprehended (lynched) without a Death Note, she will be out of the game but she will still count toward tallying the winner. Commits suicide the next Night if Light dies.
Rem (Wizard) - Misa's loyal Shinigami. Once per Night Rem can determine the role of one player, rather than just their alignment. Rem will sacrifice herself in Misa’s place if Misa is to be Night-killed, but Misa will see who attempted it. If Misa is lynched, Rem will die trying to protect her, taking out 2 players of her choice.
Misa and Rem share a PM.
Kira Supporters (Traitors x 3) – Not Werewolves in that they are not in the Werewolf PM and are not revealed as Wolves by Seer-roles (but rather Villagers), but work to protect the Werewolves and hamper the village during the Day phase, and win only with a Werewolf victory. (They know the identity of the Werewolves).
The traitors share a PM.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INDEPENDENT:
Stalker – Obsessed with Misa, the Stalker can ask the Mods once per Night “Is _____ Misa?” The Stalker’s warped mind has twisted their infatuation with Misa into hatred and they must kill Misa and make it to the final 5 to win the game. They can Night-kill Misa after discovering her identity, or be involved in her lynch (by voting for her) to reach their goal. If Misa is lynched and the stalker didn’t vote for her, or Misa is killed at Night by another, the Stalker fails and commits suicide. Cannot be killed at night. No other faction can win with the Stalker alive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOOD
Kanto:
L (The Seer) - The seer can learn the role of 1 player each night. Nobody knows L’s true identity so L will appear as a Villager if targeted by another Seer. Can only be Night-killed by a Death Note owner who has at least one person with Shinigami Eyes (see below) in their PM.
Doctor – Gets to select one person each Night and protect them from death. They may choose to protect themselves and cannot protect the same person twice in consecutive nights.
Anti-Kira Task Force (The Flogs x 3)
Share a PM. Know each other are innocent. The Task-Force also get to See someone every night (alignment only).
Villagers – The remaining players are regular VILLAGERS of Kanto.
SPECIAL RULES
DEATH NOTES: These can change hands several ways. Any player possessing a Death Note may kill one player per night. There is a second DEATH NOTE that starts with a random VILLAGER. Any player (except LIGHT and MISA, who can discard DEATH NOTES at will) who comes across a DEATH NOTE may attempt to destroy it or else must pass it to another player of their choice after one use. They select their victim and who to pass it to on the same night.
SHINIGAMI EYES: Shinigami can grant Death Note users “Shinigami Eyes”. If the Death Note user accepts they will become a powerful Seer, but at a cost. The Death Note user who accepts Shinigami Eyes will dramatically shorten their lifespan, and will have to race against the clock to beat the game before they drop dead.
GAME EVENTS: As L and Kira (and their supporters) square off against each other in the ultimate duel of intellect, there will be several in-game events where the decisions that players make may alter the course of the game.
