It's been a couple of years since I ran the first edition of This Or That Werewolf, so I thought it was high time to bring it back. It's pretty much a regular game of Werewolf, except rather than being randomly assigned a role, you’re going to be randomly assigned TWO roles.
Wait. Two roles? How does that even work?
Really bloody well, actually. Let me explain.
When the game begins, you will be assigned THIS role and you will also be assigned THAT role. Only one of the roles will actually be true, but at no point in the game will it be explicitly confirmed which one. It’s up to YOU to work our what your true role is using your undeniably gifted set of Werewolfing skills. And for some of you, your sexual charisma. You know who you are. It'll also help to pay attention to both the results and non-results of your actions, as well as other things that happen throughout the game. Slowly but surely you'll start to work it out, although that will be slower for some of you. In this case, you probably don't know who you are.
Your win condition will be linked only to your true role, but apart from that, like I said, it’s a fairly regular game of Werewolf.
The game will get started on Sunday night (23rd March).
This AND That roles will be randomly assigned to all players and will be communicated before the start of Night 1 via PM (Private Message) to everyone. The Village must identify and kill all of the Werewolves, Mafia and Neutral roles before these players can kill enough players to satisfy their own win condition.
Each day will consist of two phases, starting with Night 1 on Sunday 23rd March:
Night phase (9pm – 8am AEDT)
Players with night actions will nominate the targets of these actions via PM during this phase. These actions must be bolded and clearly stated to be valid. Actions will not be accepted after 7:59am, whether or not deadline has been announced in the game thread.
Day phase (8am – 9pm AEDT)
After the results of night actions have been announced, all players will publicly vote to lynch one player during this phase. Votes will not be accepted after 8:59pm, whether or not deadline has been announced in the game thread. The player with the most votes by the time of the deadline will be lynched and their role revealed in the game thread. In the event of a tied lynch, there will be a multi-lynch i.e. all the leading vote-getters will be lynched.
VOTING
Votes must be in the game thread and must bold the player being voted. Tagging the moderators is not required. You do not have to provide a reason for your vote for it to be valid.
FAILURE TO VOTE IN ANY DAY PHASE WILL RESULT IN A MODKILL

OTHER REASONS FOR MODKILLS
- Failing to nominate a night action on TWO separate Night phases (explicitly choosing to not use an action is fine)
- Any communication about this particular game of Werewolf outside of the game thread, except for those that have an allocated PM group
- Any deleting or editing posts from the game thread
- Posting screenshots of BigFooty of any kind in the game thread
- Directly quoting any PMs from me as moderator in the game thread
And just to reiterate outside the spoiler tags:
