Rules

- Please read.
(mainly stolen from Adele)

[1] Voting is required to be in the format

vote: Samruc

. Abbreviations are ok as long as they are comprehensible.
[2] It is not necessary to unvote, unless you wish to be voting for nobody. You're welcome to do so if you choose.
[3] Day lasts until one of the following happens: a player has a majority of votes, no lynch has a majority of votes, or a deadline comes.
[4] Once a player or no lynch hits a majority, it is Twilight. No amount of unvoting will make any difference. You may continue to talk until I lock the thread.
[5] At deadline the player with most votes will be lynched. In case of a tie, no one will be lynched.
[6] Once I have locked the thread, it is Night. At this point, if your role allows it, you may talk to people via PM. I will declare the deadline for night-choice submissions when I lock the thread. If you do not declare your night-choice, I will appoint one for you randomly. You’d probably prefer me not to…
[7] Day will restart as soon after Night deadline as possible.
[8] Do not quote anything relevant to the game from outside the thread. That includes PMs or parts of PMs from me, PMs from people you can talk to at night, or random observations third parties make elsewhere.
[9] Do not talk about this game outside the game, unless your role permits. If your role permits, you may only talk when it is Night.
[10] Try to remain somewhat civil while killing each other.
[11] Do not edit your posts. Even if you can.
[12] If you're not going to be available for more than 72 hours, let me know. If you're not going to be available for more than a week, I reserve the right to find a replacement.
[13] Post regularly.
[14] My intent is to prod after 3 days, a second prod after 5 days, and start searching replacement after 7 days.
[15] When you are dead, don't post in the game. (A simple "Bah, go town" is ok.)

[Samruc]

PMs are going out. Please confirm via PM within 48 hours.

Players with night-talking abilities are allowed to communicate with their partners until the game is started.

[Samruc]

Day 1 starts.

Max has not yet confirmed, and I think I will have to replace him. You may begin though.

With 12 players alive, it's 7 to lynch. Get down to business!

[Samruc]

LutenitPowwel replaces Max.

I will now prod/notify unposting players that the game has started.

Yep. You replaced him after all...

I'm undecided as to prodding during weekends. (Some people play more, some don't play at all.) Unless I change my mind, I'll stick to prodding after three unactive week days.

Mod:

I don't want to ruin the fun, I just want to make clear that rule 10 (despite its intentionally weak wording) still applies:

[10] Try to remain somewhat civil while killing each other.

[Samruc]

Everyone is responding to prods - good. I don't want anyone to leave the game for whatever reason.

I'm thinking that after four weeks of discussion, it might be time to come to a decision (and then get a few days off to calm down the feelings).

I'm setting a deadline, one week from this post. If no majority is reached before then, see rule 5.

[5] At deadline the player with most votes will be lynched. In case of a tie, no one will be lynched.

As the sun sets, the townsfolk gathers at the gallows hill. There is unrest in the crowd, and suddenly LutenitPowwel is hauled into sight, grabbed by his arms, screaming.

But I’m not…!! Why?

NOO!!!

Night deadline is four days from this post.

If you do not declare your night-choice, I will appoint one for you randomly.

[Samruc]

You wake up late, after a rough night. Worried that something bad might have happened, you hurry to the town center.

Expecting to find a body, all you can see are a few bullets, lying in a pool of blood. As more people arrive, you realise who is missing, and what must have happened.

After searching his home, you conclude that:

JDodge, Town Mason, has been shot and eaten.

***

Day 2 starts.

With 10 alive it takes 6 to lynch.

Also, since night talk is part of the setup, I want to remind you of rule 8.

[8] Do not quote anything relevant to the game from outside the thread. That includes PMs or parts of PMs from me, PMs from people you can talk to at night, or random observations third parties make elsewhere.

“Last night we talked about <insert summary here>” is ok. Quoting, screen shots, etc are not.

I had obviously missed adding this to the rules, my mistake. From now on, there is a rule 15.

I checked the need for prods yesterday, and will do so later today again.

Regarding Thug, I will be checking (and posting in) the replacement thread regularly until I find a new player.

[Samruc]

After eating his last Australian Hamburger, Oman calmly walks to the gallows hill, where he finds a roaring mob awaiting him.

“LYNCH! LYNCH! LYNCH!”

After some kind of inverted stage dive, he winds up on the platform, with a rope around his neck. The crowd goes silent.

Before the trap door opens, you only hear one single word.

“Fail.”

It’s evening in the little town.

For once, sounds of celebration are heard over the rooftops, people dancing and singing. It’s been a good day's work, and a little hope might be just what the town needed.

***

On the gallows hill, a body hangs, no longer resisting its cruel fate. On closer inspection, you can make out thinktank's face, hidden beneath a thick layer of gray fur.

Not too far away, wolves howl, crying for revenge.

[Samruc]

Waking up, you feel this might be a day of great importance. You rush to the town center, anxious, but dreading to see what has happened.

Looking around a bit, you find two bodies. One of them is missing a few limbs, but has a gun next to it; the other one is carrying some kind of identification mark tatooed on his chest.

Searching their homes give no more information. A new day can begin...

pwayne66, Town Mason, has been shot.

HOOOOWL

(…)

HOOOOWL

***

TylerJ woke with a start, having slept only a few hours.

Was that a real wolf’s cry? Or was it just a dream?

He got out of bed, and dressed as quickly as he could. It was time to get rid of those damn wolves, once and for all. He lit a torch, and stepped out of the door.

***

Sneaking around the village, farside22 heard that cursed werewolf cry again. If she could just find it before it found her, this town would finally be under her control…

Suddenly, someone walked out of a doorway to the right of her. Without thinking, farside pointed her gun at the creature and fired two bullets straight into its chest, only to see that the man she had hit wasn’t a wolf. It was TylerJ.

***

Looking up from the bloody body that had once been Flameaxe, kabenon007 tried to determine where the gun shots were coming from. He licked his teeth, and started running in what he thought to be the right direction.

Somewhere in the back of his head, he knew that his meal should have been carrying a gun, but not having found one, he just shrugged off the thought, and howled to the sky. It was a good night for hunting.

***

As TylerJ sank to the ground, farside watched him dropping the lit torch into a pile of dry grass, which immediately caught fire. She watched with despair as the fire gained momentum, moving towards the nearest house.

This wasn’t supposed to happen! She wanted to

control

the village, not destroy it…

Out of nowhere, a gray shadow pounced her to the ground, claws tearing at her clothes. Struggling desperately, farside managed to pull her gun and point it at the werewolf’s head. She pulled the trigger, just as sharp teeth sank into her throat.

***

Soon the flames engulfed them, together with the rest of the houses.

When crowds from the neighboring villages arrived to put out the fire, it was already too late to save the little town.

***

No one!

Now taking signups:

Masons and Monks

(Open 56)[/b] - 2 Mafia, 2 Werewolves, 2 Masons (non-Mafia), 2 Monks (non-Werewolves), 4-8 Townies, DayStart (0/12) - Mod: [/u]

This was what I had to work with.

I see now that the wiki page suggests night start, but I guess I took Thesp's word for it, I don't remember. I had no intention to mess with the setup, this being my first game as mod.
