Werewolf XC - SFA v Richmond
The Rules
At the beginning of the game each player is given a 'role' at random and in secret by myself, the moderator, via PM. Those roles are Villager (good) and Werewolf (evil).
The villagers will greatly outnumber the werewolves — in a 21 player game for example there will only be 3 werewolves — and the aim of the villagers is to identify and kill all the werewolves before the werewolves can kill enough villagers so that #of wolves = #of villagers.
How are players killed?
Each 'turn' of the game will last 24hrs or so 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 (8pm - 12am) - When the werewolves secretly decide amongst themselves, via PM communication, which villager (one per night) that they shall slaughter and kill and then each inform the moderator of their vote via PM.
Day Phase (12am - 8pm) - After the slaughter has been announced, everybody, villagers and werewolves alike, discusses and ultimately votes publicly in the game-thread upon which player (one per day) that they shall lynch and kill.
Obviously during the day the villagers will want the group to vote for and lynch a werewolf, whilst the werewolves themselves will want not to be lynched; herein lies the fundamental strategy of the game ; can the villagers identify the werewolves whilst at the same time convincing the rest of the group that they're not themselves a werewolf? And can the werewolves convince the group that they're not wolves 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;
KILLED 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 tolerate bantering, but please do not post anything that could influence peoples decisions.
THERE MUST BE NO PRIVATE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PLAYERS EXCEPT BETWEEN WEREWOLVES
Between non-werewolves, sending PM's or other forms of private communication concerning the game is not allowed.
Voting
During the Day Phase players must vote for who to lynch, your vote must be formatted in bold like this:Player Name. For those on thier phone, here is how to vote [b]Player Name[/b]. If you do not vote for two 24hr periods in a row, you will be MOD killed.
Upon the voting deadline (end of day-phase) the votes will be tallied by the moderator and whoever has received the most will be lynched and be out of the game: remember, once killed you cannot take further part in the game (including PMs); do not reveal your roles to anyone until the game has been concluded.
Any ties in voting will result in all leading vote-getters being killed. If you miss two consecutive days of voting, you will be mod killed.
What will happen when the two towns merge?
