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 1 PM CST / ( 11 AM NST ). Nighttime events happen at 1:30 P.M ( 11:30 AM NST ). CST.

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 however allowed to be discussed.

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 1 pm CST ( 11 am NST ). At that point, the innocents will execute their choice, and night will begin--which will occur between 1 and 1:30 pm CST ~11:30 NST~ (then 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.

In order to execute one individual, a simply majority (50% + 1) must be in effect. In this game, executions do not lock so you may unobtain majority after it has been reached.


Lists:

Things tend to happen during the game, which involve a list.

1) If you have a list, try to submit it in on time and in a readable format. with a good subject title, It makes it easier to sort through things.
2) Submit your lists accordingly; and everything should run smoothly.
3) You may miss sending in no more than two lists consecutively; otherwise you might find yourself replaced.

A number of events will happen during both day and night, none of which will I detail here. I will say this much: If you have a role which requires you to submit a list, that list must be submitted by 12:45 CST ( 10:45 NST ). Any lists sent after that time will be discredited, and action will be determined based upon my discretion.


The Dead:

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 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 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

2. You may not quote from private conversations (i.e. from PM to main, from IM to main, etc.) and NEVER anything passed between me & you in pm's, summarize in own words yes. quote as in cut/paste no. ~this goes with role sheets people~

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.
