Werewolf 6: Traitorous Intent - WRAP PARTY
Welcome to the sixth incarnation of Werewolf on GFF. Since we have a fair amount of new players in this installment, I'm going to post a summary of the basic rules and each role's function within the game. New players should refer to this guide often.
The Plot: Rumors of evil have been lurking across the countryside. Tales of ferocious beasts and organized criminals running amok with little resistance from the forces of Good have had the townsfolk on edge. Most people dismissed the rumors as just that, until the mutilated bodies of the innocent began surfacing here as well. Not content to let Fate have her way, the townsfolk have taken to lynching suspicious characters in the hopes that the guilty will be purged by daylight. Yet each night, the murders continue. How long can Good persevere and how long can Evil go without self-destructing? How it works: Each round of Werewolf consists of one Night and one Day. During the Night, each player whose role requires nighttime activities fulfills their obligations by sending instructions to the Moderator. These roles will be discussed later. During the day, it is the objective of each player to vote for another player for to be "lynched". The player who receives the most votes is removed from the game and his/her role is made public. There are two sides: Good and Evil. Each wishes to completely eradicate the other through careful observation, manipulation and a little bit of luck. When one side is completely wiped out, or it becomes a numerical impossibility for one side to emerge victorious, the game is over and winners are declared. Good People Villagers - These are your most basic townsfolk. They have no in-game powers to speak of. But they are also difficult to identify and have been known to last quite a long time. Masons - Organized journeymen and women who work for the benefit of the community. Their main advantage is that they know each other's roles and can achieve results through solidarity. The downside is that such actions are sometimes rather transparent to Evil. Seers - Gifted psychics with hearts of gold. Once per Night, a Seer may use his/her powers to learn the true role of another player. Unfortunately, a Seer must be clever in revealing his knowledge or he'll be killed quickly. Fools - He functions identically to a Seer, but unlike them, the Fool ain't got skills. He very often learns false information about others. The catch is that the Fool doesn't know he's a Fool. He'll always think he's a Seer until the truth shows him otherwise. But sometimes it's just as useful to know what another player isn't. Vigilantes - A ruthless mercenary who believes the ends justify the means. Once per Night, the Vigilante may kill off any other player. However, he must be careful not to kill innocent Good guys. Hunters - Crafty zealots who lie in wait. The Hunter is nothing more than a Villager, until he or she dies. If a Hunter is killed at Night, that player is given the roster of whichever group killed him or her. The Hunter then may choose to take one of those players down with him. Karma's a bitch. Oh yes, it REALLY sucks if the Vigilante kills the Hunter. Vigilantes are not immune. Shamans - Spiritual protectors of the kind-hearted. This is actually a composite role of two former roles, the Baner and Archangel. Once per night, the Shaman may select any player except himself; that player receives "divin Infiltrator - The newest addition to Werewolf! Although he may seem Evil, the Infiltrator is actually an informer for the Masons. He will either be hiding amongst the Mafia or the Werewolves, but not both. To Evil, the Infiltrator looks like just one of the gang. Once per Night, the Infiltrator may send a PM to the game Moderator with a simple message and the name of any one Mafia Member/Werewolf he chooses to give out. This message will then be delivered to the Masons. The Infiltrator doesn't know who the Masons are, nor do the Masons know who the Infiltrator is. They are anonymous partners. If the Infiltrator is killed at Night, he will leave behind an "undelivered letter" which reveals the identity of one Mason (chosen at random). In the hands of the Mafia or Werewolves, this can be disastrous. However, in the hands of the Vigilante, it can make all the difference in the world. Baaaad People Mafia Members - Like the Masons, only bent on mayhem and destruction. Once per Night, the Mafia may collectively agree upon one target. That player is killed. At the beginning of the game, the Mafia know who each other are. This carries the same advantages and flaws as the Masons. Spy - An Evil Seer who works exclusively for the Mafia. He's not a Mafia Member, per se, but he might as well be. He functions identically to a Seer but ALWAYS learns the truth about another player's role. The Spy will never be a Fool. Spies may communicate freely with the Mafia, but no other contact with Evil is permitted. Werewolves - This game's namesake beasts. Werewolves are functionally identical to the Mafia, but exist in their own group to keep things interesting. Like the Masons and Mafia, all Werewolves know who each other are and will act in each other's benefit. Usually. Devil - He's the Werewolves' version of the Spy. Another Evil Seer. Devils cannot be Fools either. These are all the roles that will appear in this game. I've decided against the mystery role for this game. Another time, okay? Let's see how the Infiltrator and Shaman work out first. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setting The hens had been silent for weeks; no eggs were being produced. The mid-July skies had been nothing but a tempest of winds and cascades, flooding the crops and washing away the fertile earth. The usually plentiful schools of bass and pike in the river had diminished to a scant few a day. Even the water seemed thinner, if that was at all possible. The old wives around the quilting circle knew of such portents. Letters arriving upon horseback without any riders had corroborated their suspicions: a plague wind was steadily approaching their tiny hamlet. The youngest amongst the wives had tried to gather support in the square. She spoke of beasts and the darkened hearts of men but few would listen. Only a couple withered coots stopped momentarily before proceeding upon their paths. How could they ignore the signs? The birds, the fish, the skies? Eventually, the young woman was dragged away kicking and shouting to the sanitarium where she would be convinced by the clergy that there were no such things as werewolves. If only the villagers had paid her heed...there is sometimes a grain of truth in the tales of old wives.

I will be accepting actions from the following: Seers, Shamans, Spy, Devil, Mafia, Werewolves, Infiltrator. The Vigilante may not act until Night Two, since Vigilantes don't strike until provoked. Shamans are allowed to act during Night One so that Evil doesn't have a carte blanche so quickly, and because it's conceivable that Shamans could sense evil approaching. My game, my decision. :P Players may talk during the nights, but if it gets out of hand, I'll revoke the privelege and delete things. Good luck! GAME ON.

That will work great against forced drownings!
And yes, if after 48 hours, players haven't sent in their actions or voted, the game proceeds without them. They're presumed to be playing marathon Tetris in their straw hut or something. |

Good luck and enjoy!
This is a nicely sized game and I'm glad to see so many folks playing. It seems the new roles will level the playing field, but we'll all have to wait and see how well they work!  Observant Provisions | [adult swim] "Dude, this is gonna.. Man, this is gonna wicked, like, really hurt." |

Is it just me, or the game title sounds like something you'd see in a commercial videogame?
"Get your 'Werewolf 6: Traitorous Intent' copy at GameStop for just $49.99!" Good luck to all. I hope that this will turn out to be a legendary game. Vibrate

Night One Results
It was a cold night. A lone figure was standing over the last glowing embers of a bonfire as he nervously looked over his shoulders, twitching at the slightest provocation. Finally, he got sick of waiting so he went home and had some nice camomile tea with milk and honey. He got a good night's rest and woke up fully refreshed the next day. But he's not really important to the story. The same night, one of the town's most prominent merchants was stoking the hearth of his gorgeous fireplace as he prepared to settle down to another relaxing evening of wine, books and not dying. As he pulled his favorite rocker near, he paused and glanced toward the ceiling. Had there been a noise? No, it was only the wind, he assured himself. No sooner than he has poured off a snifter of blackberry brandy, he heard another ruckus, this time the unmistakable warbling of laughter echoing from within his chimney. He tossed his familiar blanket aside and dashed toward the flue, hoping to close the damper. It was too late; a largish sack fell from above and settled into the blaze. He barely had time to speak the single word on the sack's side before he was done for. "GUNPOWD-" Ten minutes later, all that remained of his luxurious chateau was a charred pit of smoldering ash and several bottles of Chablis, freshly shattered from the force of the wine boiling within. As the smoke settled, the shadowy figures of four Mafia Members could be seen patting each other on the backs as they sank into the murky dark. "I can't believe that shit actually worked!" A single, twisted and charred corpse remained in the wreckage, the body of: Spoiler:
Later that night, the Werewolves were on the prowl. They'd received some good advice and knew exactly where to go. They rounded the foothill at the south end of town and noticed that the air was thick and loamy. As their quarry came into view, the Wolves stopped. They turned to each other and looked back. Their leader fumbled at a scrap of paper. "Is this the place?", another Werewolf asked. "I think so. It's gotta be.", came the reply. The leader stooped down and picked up a partially melted mailbox. The engraving on one side was still legible. He read the name aloud and violently tossed the mailbox against the cracked, but still-intact chimney. "Well hell, this shit just ain't cool." "So now what?" "I dunno. Wanna go play Unreal Tournament?" "I suppose. You know, there's a reason we do flea dips after we hunt." "Oh get bent. You were the one complaining about split ends."

The accusations and voting shall now commence!
