[Peregrine]

Your area of the kingdom has always known about the werewolves that live in the mountains to the north. Usually, however, they have avoided you and your villages, until recently. For unknown reasons, they have come south to attack your lands, causing chaos, death and confusion. The king has moved in with his army to battle them but the rest of you are just looking for a safe place to hide out during the war. Hawthorne Manor is a run-down old mansion that officially belongs to the King, but has rarely been used in the last twenty years. It's isolated location, stout walls and moat, and water supplies make it a good place to flee from the ongoing war, and so a variety of people have ended up there, doors locked against any werewolf assault. Many of you are normal villagers, but there are others as well, who have come here for different reasons. Soon after you arrived, you became convinced that some werewolves have made it into your refuge. You're not sure how many exactly, but at least two of them appear to be lurking about, in human form during the day. There's only one way you will survive, determine who the werewolves are and kill them! Luckily the manor is well stocked with old weapons, including several firearms. Those should come in handy...


Basic Rules:


Werewolf is a game of accusation, deduction, lying, reverse psychology and bandwagoning. Moreover, it's a lot of fun.

The rules are pretty simple: The players represent a village and each member of the village has a role which is kept secret. Most players are ordinary villagers but two or more are werewolves and at least one is a seer, there are some other roles which are explained later. The goal of the villagers is to eliminate all of the werewolves. The goal of the werewolves is to achieve 1:1 parity with the villagers at which time they can openly rise up and overwhelm the villagers thus winning the game.

Gameplay
The game consists of two different phases: Night and Day. The game begins with a Night phase.

Night
In a night phase the moderator will ask the werewolves to choose a villager to “eat” and also ask the seer to choose one player to “view”. The werewolves should decide amongst themselves using the board's PM (private message) function who their victim will be and inform the moderator of their choice. The seer should decide who his target will be and inform the moderator of his choice.

The werewolves' victim is dead and is removed from the game, but the rest of the village won't find out until daytime who the victim is and what their secret role was.

The seer's target has his role (villager or werewolf) revealed to the seer only.

Day
During the daytime the villagers all wake up and find that one of their own has been killed by the werewolves. At this point at least one player is a werewolf and so someone is gonna get lynched.

During this phase all players, including werewolves who have assumed villager form, must discuss their suspicions. Eventually it will reach a point where villagers start to cast votes for who they feel is a werewolf and must be lynched. Votes are cast by placing bold text in a post like this VOTE PLAYER A. If you want to change your vote, make another post saying UNVOTE PLAYER A - VOTE PLAYER B. At the end of the day (which is defined as 8:00 pm EST) the player who received the most votes is lynched and is removed from the game. That player’s role will be revealed to the village.

When the lynching is done all the villagers go back to their homes to sleep and the next night begins.

Winning
In case it's not clear: The villagers win if they kill all of the werewolves. The werewolves win if they kill enough villagers so that their numbers are equal. At this point the werewolves can openly rise up and slaughter the rest of the villagers.


Changes from Last time:

I've moved up the lynch deadline to 8 pm EST to allow everyone a bit more time for discussion, etc.

If there is a tie for the lynch vote, I will decide who will be lynched based on the relative strengths of the arguments that have been offered.
