The Political Spectrum and Werewolf

Ideologies and Potential Roles For Bills

The Democrats and Republicans, of course, have different ideologies. I have taken the liberty of equating them to traditional WW roles to give everyone a neighborhood with which to measure their bills within the political spectrum.

Republicans-- The Republicans favor a more attacking and aggressive stance. Therefore, their pinnacle role is the Seer and the Spy.

Democrats-- The Democrats favor a more defensive and truth-seeking stance. Therefore, their pinnacle role is the Bodyguard and the Soothsayer.

Here are some traditional roles, ranked from most Republican to most Democrat. My definition for them follows in parentheses.

Seer (standard seer)
Spy/Witness (follows a target)
Psychic (sees what target sees at night)
Examiner (can review the files of a dead player to learn what he knew)
Vigilante (can one time per game kill another player, at usual cost of self)
Hunter (can take one other player with him when he is lynched)

***Roles above lean toward Repeblican

Brothers/Lovers (two players can PM each other, usually die together) ***Centrist

***Roles below lean toward Democrat

Duke (standard duke)
Soothsayer (can pick a post to determine if what the poster is bring truthful)
Thief (can block another player's actions)
Impervious (can protect himself from any special role action taken against him)
Healer/Herbalist (can heal a person attacked by the wolves)
Bodyguard (standard bodyguard)

This is far from an inclusive role list. Creativity is encouraged and other roles can be used, so long as Congress passes them and the President signs them into law. Keep in mind, as the Supreme Court, I will--LIBERALLY--eliminate any laws I deem to be too powerful or too unbalancing.

The above is role based, but the bills aren't necessarily limited to roles. If you want to change a game rule or add a new game rule or do something completely off the charts, you're free to introduce a bill for it. I will measure it politically wherever I judge it has the most effect against the above ideologies and whichever party it would seem to aid more.
