Has ANYONE on here played this game before? I'm taking a risk in trying it on here, as MEI doesn't have a large amount of regular posters, and to get this one to work out all right, I'll need about 15/20 people in.
Jandalf thought it was a good idea, anyway. I'll get Celebrian to run it so I can play, I think. Or make her play and lead since I understand it. And for the sake of MEI, I'll probably make a cycle two RL days. Anyway...
In the game, there are the following roles.
Villagers: Villagers are common, ordinary people who must outwit the werewolves to survive. They win the game if they find out and "kill" both werewolves before the werewolves kill them. During the day cycle, the villagers vote on who they want lynched, the person with the most votes gets killed the next day's beginning.
Werewolves, duh: Two of the players will secretly be werewolves. (Everyone's role will be decided by random chance and be PMed to you) They will be pretending to be ordinary villagers or any of the other roles. Every "night" cycle, the two werewolves must decide through PM or whatever which villager they intend on killing. The person they kill is revealed at the same time as whoever the villagers lynch off.
Cupid: Cupid only has powers at the very beginning of the game, because Cupid will select two players to be lovers and PM them to the game leader. He/she doesn't know what their IC identies are, whether they're wolves or humans or what... after he/she does this, Cupid becomes an ordinary villager for the rest of his/her duration in the game.
Lovers: Are informed over PM who each other is, and cannot for any reason whatsoever speak up against each other. You cannot suggest your lover for lynching, or accuse them as a werewolf (which is fair grounds, even though you won't know who anyone is, you can accuse all you want...). Also, if one of the lovers gets killed by the werewolves or lynched, the other immediately dies of a broken heart.
Doctor: An ordinary villager, except that he/she has two potions... one death potion, and one healing potion. The docter can bring back from the dead any ONE lynched villager. The docter can also kill someone they suspect to be a werewolf. They will PM their choice to the leader of the game if they chose to do this at any time... again, their role is secret and they appear as a villager, like all the roles.
Seer: The Seer can choose to "dream" about the identity of any one player one in-game night. But beware. Upon trying to convince your fellow players of the truth, false prophets may appear in the form of wolves or malicious villagers...
All roles will be PMed to the players, and that will be the only role you know throughout the entire game for certain, unless you are Cupid, in which case you'll know who the lovers are, and if you're the Seer, and you dream about someone.
Sherriff: Unlike the other roles, the sheriff has to be voted in by the villagers by a majority of half or MORE. But be careful, the sheriff has two votes on who to lynch... a werewolf in that position could be deadly.
(maybe) Hunter: The hunter is a villager with a quick trigger finger. If they get killed for any reason, they can choose someone to hit with their dying shot.
Roles will be selected by random numbers, and PMed. A day cycle will be two full RL days for the sake of the lesser posters, during which the werewolves can conspire in PM at the same time, and PM the result to the leaders... you don't HAVE to get a vote in each "Day", but it helps.
Post any votes for Sheriff in italics, and votes for who to lynch in bold. (The user name, that is) Everyone has a vote. Feel free to be misleading about your roles and evilly work your way into any place. Feel free to RP a bit, but try keep it short.
Let's see if this works.
POSSIBLE PLAYERS SO FAR:
Jandalf
Celebrian OR Tiana
Elwing (agreed to play with a bit of poking on my part if we can't get enough)
