A Wererolf, a Vampire, and a Villager Walk Into a Bar (Game Over, Vampires Win)

[EagleFan]

Welcome to town... allow me to show you around. You will find that we have a wonderful little village with all of the normal sites that any quaint countryside village may have. Your local general store, a doctor's office, a post office, a sheriff's office, school, library, pub, full moon lock down cell, tailor, barbershop... pretty much everything that any small town will offer.

What's that you say? Barbershop? That's where you get a haircut... oh, not that one... tailor? No? Oh, you mean the full moon lock down cell? That's where the town goes during every full moon to spend the evening to prevent any injuries from occurring because of transformation.

Okay, there may be one thing we left out. Everyone in town is also a werewolf. We use the lock down cells to keep everyone safe.

You'll find we are pretty much like any community.... OR we used to me.

An evil force has infiltrated our town. We are not sure what the force is yet but if has been randomly killing off our good people and we are trying to find out who, or what, is behind it.

That leads me to our next request before you move in... We need you to prove your true nature. We need to verify that you are a werewolf, just like us...

[Poli]

Hopefully this takes off!

[EagleFan]

We're slowly getting there. I'll bump the thread in OT.

[LoneStarGirl]

Count me in!

[EagleFan]

Will send out a few more feelers to see if we can get this into double digits.

[Telle]

So is this likely to happen or no? I'm in if it gets off the ground.

[EagleFan]

I'll add Telle's name to the mix. Would like a couple more but if not I'll adjust accordingly.

[RendeR]

Fuck yeah, count my dumb ass in, I'm sure I'll die fast.

Your dumb ass is in...

[EagleFan]

I'll give the signups until Saturday and we'll get it started next Monday with rules based upon number of players.

[Autumn]

I'd love to get back in a game. I'm worried that my schedule right now is so crazy, but I'll do my best.

[EagleFan]

Welcome Autumn

[timmae]

Ready to rock this!!

[Chief Rum]

It's technically Sunday morning, but I haven't gone to sleep from "Saturday" yet. Does that count?

In if you got room.

Yeah my work load is a level of magnitude above what it used to be, so playing is going to be tough for me. Not likely to be able to maintain my detailed spreadsheets like I used to! Hoping to have some fun regardless.

[EagleFan]

Welcome Chief

[EagleFan]

Sorry all, was a rough weekend. This morning I said "crap, I think it's later than Saturday"

[EagleFan]

The evening was eerily silent as the sound of the rain could be heard almost echoing off the ground. No birds chirping, no crickets, not a frog to be heard. The once beautiful and peaceful village has been turned into a killing field but what triggered it?

The quaint village is much different than other villages in that all residents are werewolves who have moved away from the rest of civilization to live out their lives in peace, though each night they lock themselves away to protect everyone in the village from what will happen when the moon is full. The problem is, as they have learned, a full moon happens EVERY night, just because one cannot see the entire lit side of the moon does not mean it is not there.

Their system of checks and balances had worked for years, what happened last night? What was this cruel hand of fate? A malfunction of a lock? Of several locks?

All they knew is that this morning a blood bath happened and now the town is full of additional people trying to find out what happened. They claim to all be wolves but something is off, something is not right.

A howl breaks the silence, not one of confidence and grandeur but one of pain and suffering. A shot rings out, silence has returned. This is far from over...

As the daylight returns everyone returns from their locked up state to find that EagleFan has been shot, a silver bullet sealing his fate. You are no longer safe. You must find out who these new people are. The ten newest members of the village are gathered together and locked into the mansion at the center of town. There are enough safety cages for each member to safely lock themselves in during the evening but that is not why they were locked away in the mansion. They were locked away to find out which one of them is the evil that has entered the village, or is it worse than just one... more than one? ALL of them?

The gate closes and the lock clicks loudly. You must determine your own fate now.

You come together, many arguing as a newly formed feeling of resentment swells over the group. Who is the evil? Who must go?

[EagleFan]

Tuesday night at 10:00 PM (EDT) will be the first deadline.

Use this time to discuss who you think should be brought up on charges first.

Use the voting system detailed in the rules to cast your vote.

Please ask me anything that you have questions about either in thread or through PM.

Game On

[Autumn]

Glad to be back for game on, everybody. Chances we lynch someone for mistakenly calling themselves a villager or calling the bad guys wolves?: 98%

Might take the over on that...

[EagleFan]

It was weird writing up the PM's. Had to keep rechecking the wording. Plus, way out of practice for this so I hope this goes well.

[Chief Rum]

Yea this is a bit weird, on top of not playing in forever. I'm sure we'll deal with it.

[henry296]

I'm a wolf, but this time I'm a good guy.

[Telle]

So the first game back in forever, and you have to make it even more difficult for everyone? Well, at least we get to play again

[timmae]

Yep, this is weird but just happy to be playing again! How many baddies (vamps/villagers) do we think we have? 2 out of 10? Man I am rusty. Happy to be a wolf!

[Telle]

So we have 11 possible roles and only 10 people playing. I'm a vanilla wolf, and I imagine there has to be another vanilla wolf or two just because I refuse to believe that with all those roles I alone managed to draw the most boring one among them.

So how many of the possible roles do we think are actually in play? I'm thinking 2 each of vampires and villagers? That or the vampires are a red herring and there's 2 or 3 villagers.

[henry296]

I can't imagine just 1 vampire, so either 2 and 2 or probably 3 villagers if no vampires.

[timmae]

The fact that both villager roles and vampire roles are listed leads me to believe they are likely both included. Is 4 out of 10 a crazy ratio? Villagers and vampires both have to have equal numbers to wolves in order to win. Does a 2-2-6 split make sense overall? Then 4 wolves would need to be voted off for either sanction to possibly win.

[Autumn]

I'm guessing vampires were a possibility if our numbers were larger, but with such a small game, I doubt we see that. It's already hard to balance a 10-person game. Two-three villagers I would guess. Maybe three if we have some good wolf roles.

[Chief Rum]

I think the baddies have to be two or three. Four is way too much.

I suspect there are two villagers, if the Count is in the game. Three if he is not. Maybe still two without the Count if there is a recently converted wolf in the game.

I am thinking maybe half the roles will be in the game at most. And I assume the more basic WW roles are here, the seer, the bodyguard (guess that's the doctor), brutal, cunning, etc.

My bet is the Count might be able to expand his group. Not sure if the killing machine part is that, or if it is a separate ability.

[Telle]

But the definition of "baddies" is murky. The villagers and vampires are against each other as much as they are against the wolves. So two of each is reasonable.

[Autumn]

Killing machine not the words you want to hear in a WW game.

[Autumn]

So, do we have a deadline tonight, in 3.5 hours? If so, we better start voting!

[Telle]

Nope. First deadline is Tuesday night.

[Autumn]

Oh phew. That was going to be a madhouse. In that case, relax everyone! No one will die for a while.

[Chief Rum]

Yea you make a good point. I could see two of each, given the "competition" element.

[Chief Rum]

Lol... I swear I was thinking the same thing. Yay for Tuesday.

[GoldenEagle]

So, I guess I shouldn't say vanilla villager checking in......

But looking forward to this. The last WW PM I had was over 5 years ago. I am not sure when the last game ran.

[RendeR]

Hey folks, sorry I'm late, took a long nap before work tonight then stared at my phone for a couple hours (blame the guys that found retro-bowl!!!)


as some have mentioned there are a ton of roles and only so many people, so either everyone has a vital role and choosing to kill someone is going to either make or break this game on night 1 or as someone said its a smoke screen and we have a typical 2-3 wolves and ton of villagers.

having not been playing in awhile I'm reticent to throw out an opinion but I think EF would include as much variety as possible, so I'm thinking there are very few vanillas and only 1 or 2 of anything else.
