Werewolf is a classic RPG, role playing game, in which each player has a specific role and is responsible for cooperating with his/her teammates in order to help his/her team win. The game is generally pits baddies versus innocents, where there may be more than one baddie team. The last player standing's team is declared the winner, while all other teams receive placement ranking relative to when their last player was eliminated. However, beware everything is not always as it seems.

The game is split into two parts: A night, and a day. During day, the majority of events occur. Discussions, voting, and day-powers are executed. At the end of the day, the innocents vote to execute one member in a Survivor-esque process. Voting will be discussed later. After day, night ensues, where a variety of events occur. Execution is at 10 P.M. NST. Nighttime events happen at 11 P.M. NST.

NST = Neopian Standard Time, for those who are not familiar with neopets

Roles:

Roles are given out when the game begins, and are in effect immediately. An individual will receive either a role for the innocents or against the innocents (for one of many teams), and often this role is paired with a specific description--often which enables that individual certain privileges that helps his/her respective side win.

Roles are maleable. They may change, and often do. The conditions under which they change are not discussed here, but may be visible during game play. Roles of an individual are allowed by discussed, but there is a very fine line between the role and a secret power (to be discussed later).

Roles group individuals into teams, and it is forbidden to explicitly state any of your team members unless written approval is received from every team member one day in advance (24 hours). Failure to abide by this rule will result in immediate expulsion from all following games led by this MC (Master of Ceremonies).

How to play:

The game itself is rather straightforward. There will be a day and a night. Day will be in effect until 10pm NST. At that point, the innocents will execute their choice, and night will begin--which will occur between 10 and 11pm NST (and day begins again). The MC reserves the right to modify the times of day and night, so be attentive in the game thread in case my schedule cannot cooperate with those times.

During both day and night, discussions are allowed in the game topic. Voting for innocent executions may only happen during the day. Any votes placed at night will be discounted, and you'll need to revote during the day.

Voting is as follows: There is a maximum of one innocent-elected execution per day. In order to execute, you must vote in the following fashion:

Vote: (Insert player's name)
OR
Vote: Nobody
in case you would like to vote for nobody.

To unvote:

Unvote: (Insert player's name).

PLEASE BOLD ALL VOTES AND UNVOTES.

Execution is decided by majority, which is 51% or more of the votes for one player. Voting is not locked in in this game.

All lists each day must be in before the end of night. Please try to get them in earlier than this though, because i'm sure you can imagine how confusing it will get if someone sends their list 5 minutes before the night results are posted.

If you die at any point in the game, you will move down to the groupies thread. You may no longer post in the game thread unless you are resurrected, and you may not post in the groupies thread unless you are dead. Rules involving the groupies are posted in the first post of the thread.

The Dead:

The dead have the groupies thread as their own.

When you die, you are not allowed to divulge anything that was not divulged during the game. You may, however, be resurrected, and so may persuade people to resurrect you so that you may divulge what you know when you are alive.

Finally, after death you MUST NOT PM people alive in the game about the game. This is an honor code, but out of respect for your peers and the work they/I have put into it, I expect you all to abide by this.

Rules (more summarized, but anything I may have missed that is referenced above still applies):

1. You may lie about everything in this game except for anything having to do with Secret Powers. If you don't understand the rules regarding them (see above), you'd be better off not posting about them at all.

2. You may not quote from independent threads (i.e. from PM to main, from groupies to main, from PM to groupies, etc.)

3. Exposing your team is not allowed unless written permission is given to me, the MC, 24 hours in advance.

4. Live players may not communicate with the dead independent of the main thread. The same applies to the dead--they cannot communicate with the living except through their groupies thread. In other words, a dead may not post in the living thread, and NO PMing at all. Again, honor system here so please respect the game, the gamers, and myself.

5. Upon death, you may not reveal anything not exposed during your time alive.

6. If any rules are broken, then you will be modkilled and blacklisted, depending on the severity of the offense.
