Lathum · 09-02-2008, 11:00 PM

There can be only one!!!!

Details to come, looking to start game 9/9 with roles to go out 9/8.

Will be a fairly straight forward game with some twists thrown in, everyone will have some sort of action each day.

There will be 2 deadlines, one for lynch @ 8:00 PM EST and one for night actions @ 11:00AM EST.

Rules will go up over the next couple of days

I will accept conditional deadline orders for people who may struggle with 2 times a day

Werewolf Highlander- THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!

This is a semi- traditional game of werewolf. Every player is a highlander, a player in a mystical game where everyone is immortal. Many of you have lived hundreds of years and fought many battles with your sword.

The goal of the game is simple, be the last person alive. The only way you can be killed is by another highlander cutting off your head.

In addition to the roles listed below there will be wolves in the game wreaking havoc. The wolves are also highlanders and have all the individual win conditions and actions associated with that.

Game Cycles- For arguments sake each day in real life is a week in the game.

Day Actions- Traditional WW where each day a player is selected to be lynced. This takes place in NY city ( a location of signifigance later in the game). The deadline for this will be 8:00 PM EST.

There will be no ties and non voters will be punished. No lynch is not an option.

All roles will be revealed upon death.

Night Actions- Will be due by 11:00 AM EST- Wolves will submit their night target. In addition to that each player must select a city to travel to. The Cities are:

Seattle
Miami
San Fransisco
Dallas
Chicago
Boston
Washington DC
Philadelphia
Las Vegas

If you find yourself in the same city as another Highlander you will experience “the Quickining” An instinctive surge inside you that lets you know to get ready for battle. Once you engage in battle with another highlander the victor will absord the losers power, cut off their head, and the loser will be out of the game. Not all battles will result in death.

Battles

Each player will be assigned a strength number, simply put this is how strong you are. Numbers will range from 1-10

Each player will be given a speed number, each number will range 1-10.

Every player is given 30 power points to begin the game. Each night when you submit your location you must also submit the number of power points you wish to use.

The outcome of the duel will be determined by a players strength + speed+ power points. The player with the most points may win the duel. Certain outside factors may result in a draw. In the case of a draw the player does not get their power points used returned to them, so use them wisely. If a player does not duel they do not lose their power points for that night.

There will not be a duel every night for every player, outside factors may inhibit the quickening, based on what city you are currently in.
Once you defeat a player in a duel you then take control of their remaining power points.
If you are involved in 2 or more duels in a row you may find yourself tired.

EXAMPLE
Player A and Player B both find themselves in Dallas. Player A has a speed factor of 6 and a strength factor of 4. They use 4 power points for a total of 14.

Player B had a speed factor of 8 and a strength of 4. They use 6 power points for a total of 18. Barring any outside influence Player B will win the duel and take Player A’s remaining 26 points.

Non- Wolf Roles

Conner MacLeod- A wise, crafty , talented highlander. Can not be lynched.

Brenda Wyatt- The only non highlander in the game. You have excellent investigative skills and each night can scan one player to test their allegiance.

The Kurgan- You are the strongest, most powerfull Highlander. If lynched you may select one other player to take with you. If night attatcked you have an excellent chance of fighting off your attacker (s)

Ramirez- You are one of the oldest highlanders. You posses excellent sword skills and the ability to teach others. Each night you select one player to protect each night. You may not protect the same player 2 nights in a row. You may protect yourself.

All other players are elidgeable to be wolves.

Win conditions.

Ultimate win- Be the last remaining highlander alive. The final battle will be determined differently then all other battles and will require both parties to be online.

Minor Win- All wolves are eliminated from the game

Wolf Minor Victory- Eliminate all highlanders.
