Werewolf: Infected

[Forte]

The Infected

The Rules
Please note that these are the standard Forte/Silver rules, so do read them. Anyone not following these rules well be mod-killed and banned from any future games run by Silver or I.

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 section win. The game is generally pitted with baddies versus innocents, where there may be more than one baddy team. The last player standing's team is declared the winner, while all other teams recieve 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, votings, 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 9 P.M. NST. Nightime events happen at 9:30 P.M. NST.

Roles:

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

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 recieved 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).

Secret Powers:

Roles are often paired with Secret Powers: distinct privaledges given to individuals which enable them to engage in certain activities throughout the game.

It is essential to maintain that these secret powers MAY NOT BE DISCUSSED. Although roles are allowed to be publicly discussed, secret powers are to be remained in secret. This includes any powers that have or have not been used. You may allude to what secret power you have, but MAY NOT refer to it directly.

Example: If you have a secret power which allows for a day kill, you may claim authority for the death after it happens, but you may not say that "He died because I had the secret power to day kill." This rule is very difficult to understand, so PM me if at all you are questioning whether your actions will bypass it.

Furthermore, you are not to discuss artificial secret powers. This is a game of deciet, lies, and trickery, but secret powers are to be remained independent of this. In other words, don't even mention secret powers because it may cost you're activity in the game. There are powers that are associated with a role directly that do not classify as secret powers (this will be explicit in the PM's that I send out), in whcih case those role-powers may be discussed. Often, what differentiates secret powers and role powers is the fact that secret powers can only be used a limited amount of times.

How to play:

The game itself is rather straightforward. There will be a day and a night. Day will begin from 9:31 pm NST and end at 9 pm NST. At that point, the innocents will execute their choice, and night will begin--which will ensue between 9 and 9:30 pm NST. 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 ensues 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).

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.

A number of events will happen during both day and night, none of which will I delineate here. I will say this much: If you have a role which requires you to submit a list, that list must be submitted by 9:00 NST. Any lists sent after that time will be discredited, and action will be determined based upon my discretion. Most of the time, I will deliniate what happens if you don't submit in your PM (if this applies to you).

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 reserected, 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 ressurected, and so may persuade people to ressurect 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 of 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.

All other rules are deliniated in the above prose description. I behoove you all to read it, since those rules apply whether you've read this or not. Please abide by them, and if you become a witness when they are not being followed, please let me know ASAP by PM.

There is an additional aspect to this game that will be listed separately to emphasize importance. During the duration of this game, activity will be tested in a manner that will be revealed in the first game plot. Anyone who does not comply with this will be executed and their role will not be replaced. It is in your own, as well as your teammates, interest that you remain active. You have been warned.

Day One: Infection

A pair of headlights is the only light seen in the distance as a lone bus speeds down the main highway heading into the city. The driver looks over at the guard standing at the door as the two notice that the city is abandoned. “What the hell happened to this place?” The driver asks, slowing down to observe the damage. The guard takes his eyes off of the prisoners behind him and peers out the windshield, rain really starting to pour down now. “I don’t know, maybe we should turn around…” he says with worry in his voice.

The rain intensifies, and the windshield becomes impossible to see out of. The prisoners in the back of the bus start to get uneasy, though to their credit it’s not like they had anything to look forward to anyhow. A lightning strike illuminates the sky, and the driver sees two figures standing in the road in front of him. He tries to respond, slamming on the brakes, but only manages to swerve, fishtailing off the highway and onto a service road. Unbeknownst to the passengers on the bus, the man standing in the road grins, and presses a button on a small device in his hand.

An explosion echoes in the evening air, followed by a loud crash. Smoke fills the air, quickly washed away by the rain, a small fire still burning at the front of the wrecked vehicle. As the two figures walk from the highway toward the wreckage, the woman says “I love when a good plan comes together!” as she kicks a severed foot out of her path.

The two reach the remains of the bus to find the entire front cabin blown away, the door separating the driver and guard from the prisoners off it’s hinges, and the police compliment in pieces around the flaming debris. The prisoners are relatively unharmed, though knocked unconscious from the blast. The woman turns to her mate and says “Forte darling, I grow tired of standing out here in the rain…can we move to phase two now?”

The man smiles and takes her hand, kissing it as he looks up at her from under his cloak. “Of course Silver m’dear…I will take care of them immediately.” His eyes begin to glow red, and Silver lowers her parasol as they all suddenly disappear in a blindingly bright purple aura.

Several hours later, the prisoners slowly awaken, feeling different than they did before. They are all seated in rows in what appears to them to be a theater. They look around and notice the two figures standing on a stage looking down at them…someone yells out “What the hell is this…” Silver cuts him off.

“Silence, you scum! That’s no way to talk to a lady…hmph, Forte, you would think these people would show a little gratitude after what we’ve done for them!” She frowns and throws her hair back, showing off her curvy body to the crowd. A few prisoners make whistles and catcalls.

“That will be enough of that, you cads…” Forte says, hitting his cane down hard against the stage. “You were brought here for a purpose, so you’re lives have been spared…for now. I’m sure some of you are feeling a little cloudy in your minds…this is by design, not because of your “accident”. You see…” He pauses and Silver holds up a small vial in her possession “we have infected you all with a virus…FEAR, such an appropriate name. Formula to Enhance Animalistic behavioR…you will soon suffer the fate of this abandoned city if you do not act soon. But why did we do this, you might ask?”

Silver steps forward and smiles to the crowd. “We did this because we are dreadfully bored…you see Forte and I are very well traveled individuals…you may have heard of the incidents we were responsible for at that old mansion, in Mexico, and most recently in Gotham City! So you know our power is great…” He eyes begin to glow as a demonstration. She snaps out of it and returns to her cheerful nature. “So my dearies, we brought you here knowing your fate was already grim, and have decided to give you a chance to earn your freedom. Some of you will survive, be cured and earn great riches…the rest, well, you’ll be no worse off than you already were.”

Forte steps forward again and smiles. “So that’s the game…the last of you that survive will win! But that’s not all you’ll have to do…as my dear Silver said…” He turns and gives her a kiss and smiles, with her giggling in return “we are oh so bored…and you brutes are going to entertain us! Two of you will be selected every day to put on a performance for us…do well, and you survive. Refuse, and suffer the consequences. Oh, and try not to leave too much of a mess in here, will you? Uncultured savages…” Forte tips his top-hat, and walks off the stage twirling his cane. “Coming, Silver?”

“Just a minute!” She addresses the crowd one last time. “Remember boys, the clock is ticking…hehehehehehehe!” Silver curtsies to the crowd and runs off after Forte, and the two disappear stage left. The criminals shrug and look at each other, wondering deep down how long they have to survive.

Day One Begins




Notes to all players: This game will have an activity test at random, as explained in the plot. Two players daily will be selected to perform something of our choosing in the game thread. If you do not comply, you will be removed and blacklisted. Furthermore, you must not miss a vote twice in this game or face the same fate. Inactivity ruins the game and makes life hard on the MCs and the players, so respect us and each other by complying. If you have to miss a day for some reason, let Silver or I know. Anyone who does not do so will not be excused, period.

Also, I request that all players send duplicte lists to Silver and I (that send lists) in case one of us cannot be on. This will prevent any possible missed days since there are two MCs, and it would be unlikely both miss the same day.

By posting below, you agree you have read this and will comply. Enjoy the game.

YAY for the new game!
Interesting Idea with the "performance" thing.

[graphitesmoothie]

Vote: Nobody

I'm first to vote, so I must be baddie.

[azulblast]

First to Post 3rd

On another note....

Forte, my master, my god, the person I look to when all is lost....I pray to you to bring me fortune in this most desolate of games you have set up ^_^

Should I be selected to perform (happily) for Lady Silver and your oh so most Excellent Self, I will do my best as I have always done for you.

Anyhow now that I'm a criminal gl to everyone and lets have some fun ^_^

vote: nobody

[i_like_trains_]

i'm here, really looking forward to this game And the performance sounds interesting

[felicalittle]

He stands up from the seats, brushing back long thick wavy black locks. His grey-blue eyes drift over the crowd, estimating the rest of the criminals that had been on this damned bus. Perform for them... this was worse than prison, did they expect him to jump through their hoops after they had infected him with some lethal virus... why would he trust such twisted... Coughing he began to walk toward the exit, his eyes paying more attention to his surroundings than to the door that he was moving towards. He almost expected to be locked in this theatre; it would be the perfect setting for a play. Before he could even touch the handle, he decided to move toward a wall, leaning against it he stared at the stage. There was no way he would be the first fool to try the door, let someone else find out if it was locked. He stared numbly for a few minutes... he did not even deserve to be here... that woman... she had deserved this but not him. Blinking he regained his ability to focus and began to look around the small dark room again. How many others were like him and how many were real dangerous criminals.

[stimulatus]

I like the plot, and of course the narrative.

I can't stand first day executions so I'll Vote: Nobody for now. This activity requirement will for sure give us something to go after for day 2.

[shadownight]

7th on posting i agree with all
Vote: Nobody

[obiwanpi]

Vote: Nobody.

Unless we get something to go on.

With 34 people, I figure no more than about 12 are baddies. Pretty pointless to kill unless we have some solid info.

[anson]

Vote: Nobody

In this case, nobody is going to be executed:

Poor nobody
