Werewolf LXXV - Rise of the Great Old Ones -Students Win!!!!

Schmidty · 06-09-2008, 07:59 AM

It is a late night in December on the campus of Miskatonic University, in the gloomy town of Arkham, Massachusetts. Snow is falling heavily, completely blanketing the grounds. The campus is empty, save a few students and faculty members who haven't yet left for Winter Break.

At the center of the campus, stands the historic, three story Orne Library. The library is renowned for it's extensive collection of over 400,000 books, but even more interesting is the mysterious Vault in the bowels of the building. Over the years, there have been whispers of what might be contained there. Rumors abound of forbidden books of ancient knowledge, dark grimoires of twisted rituals, and scrolls that if read, could drive a person insane. There is even the belief that the Vault may harbor the last existing copy of a tome so vile that it is said to have the power to bring back the dead to an “unlife” of servitude to the invoker. Worse yet, the tome may hold an even greater power – the power to rouse beings that a sane person could never fathom, nor would ever want to. That tome is called the Necronomicon, and those beings are the Great Deep Ones, Cthulhu and his brethren, sleeping beneath the sea in the long lost city of R'lyeh. There are those that are so deranged, that if the tome fell into their hands, the world would become a nightmare from which it could never awake.

In the library, there are a handful of diligent students going about their studies in the warm comfort of it's walls. Suddenly, a blinding flash of white light fills the room, blinding everyone. A low hum begins to resonate from seemingly everywhere, and the ground rumbles from it's deep bass. An unearthly voice cries out “Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”!! As soon as the final strange word is uttered, the light disappears, and the low hum ceases. Everyone is startled, but seem to be unhurt. After the shock wears off, the students instinctively run to the doors and windows in an attempt to flee the building, but all exits are sealed so tight, that nothing can move them, and the window panes are like solid stone.

You are one of those students, and you are trapped and at the mercy of whatever or whoever trapped you. You must get out, or somehow you know that you will perish.

RULES

1. Lynches will take place at 9 p.m. EST, so votes past 8:59 p.m. EST will not be accepted. The Night cycle will last until 9 a.m. EST, so no night actions will be accepted after 8:59 a.m. EST.

2. No editing of posts.

3. No PMing unless it is part of your role.

4. No sneaky posting of keywords or phrases from the role PM you receive from me at the beginning of the game, to discreetly reveal your role.

5. No checking of people's profiles to see what they are currently doing. Crap like that defeats the purpose and spirit of the game.

6. All lynch votes should be bolded as follows:

VOTE BOB ROSS

7. If you wish to change your vote, it should look like this:

UNVOTE BARBARA BILLINGSLEY

8. If there is a tie at the deadline, there will be no lynch that day.

VICTORY CONDITIONS

The Miskatonic University Students win if all of the The Order of R'lyeh are eliminated from the game.

The Order of R'lyeh (Werewolves) win if there are equal (or more) amounts of the Order and Students

There are other role-specific victory conditions as well.

ROLES

There will be the following roles (certain roles will be a variation of the traditional roles, and there may or may not be more than one of each, and I will not be revealing the specifics of each role publicly):

Miskatonic University Students

Student (Villager)
Psychic (Seer)
Martial Artist (Bodyguard)
Snoop (Hunter)
Rageaholic
Manipulator
Pre-med student
The Bearer of the Necronomicon

Other Roles

The Arcane Collector
The Private Eye

The Order of R'lyeh (Wolves)

claphamsa · 06-09-2008, 08:12 AM

im in!

henry296 · 06-09-2008, 10:01 AM

When is the first deadline?

hoopsguy · 06-09-2008, 11:05 AM

I'll plan on playing, although I may need an alternate depending on the firewall policy of my new employer. My company was acquired and I'll be working out of the new office from time to time.

Even if I'm able to get around the firewall blocks, I'm not sure I'm looking to make a bad first impression with the new guys. So if they do monitor somewhat aggressively I'll probably look for an alternate.

Lathum · 06-09-2008, 11:10 AM

I'll be in vegas starting sunday so I can't play

The Jackal · 06-09-2008, 11:24 AM

By the way, Schmidty, how did the surgery go?

PurdueBrad · 06-09-2008, 11:49 AM

I'm in with one caveat. I'm out of town Friday-Sunday, if it isn't a huge problem, I would love to play. Let me know.

Telle · 06-09-2008, 11:54 AM

I'm in. Time to get back into playing werewolf

The surgery went just fine; however, the recovery has sucked. They haven't mentioned the term "dry socket" as has been talked about on the board here, but my bottom left wisdom tooth was apparently very difficult to remove. It left a bone chip and an exposed nerve. The nerve affects all of my bottom teeth, and my left jaw up into my left temple. It has been very, very painful. I'm just now starting to be able to chew normally on the right side without making the left side feel like it's being stabbed with a rusty dagger. I was on Percocet for the first week (up until last thursday), and they offered more, but I didn't want to get all Rush Limbaughed, so I said no, and have just been on aspirin.

Thanks for asking.

By the way, I'm assuming the +1 means you aren't going to play either?

If I can get enough players (at least 14 or more), the first deadline would be at 8 p.m. EST on Wednesday.

JetsIn06 · 06-09-2008, 04:04 PM

Hmmm. This is my first game and I only know the very basics. If that's okay, then I'll muster up the courage and say...I'm in!

Well, if I don't get at least 14-15 people signed up by Tuesday night, you might be able to get in, because I'm not starting it until I have that amount. If I can't start by Wednesday, I might have to wait until Monday.

Alan T · 06-09-2008, 07:07 PM

Schmidty, I'll play to help you fill up your game. I'm pretty much away most every weekend for the summer though, so I'll miss out on any weekend play there is.

If I people don't protest too much, I won't have have any weekend play. At the most, I would have a day end on Sunday nights, but that would only be if people really, really wanted it.

henry296 · 06-09-2008, 08:04 PM

I'm out of town Tuesday and Wednesday, so if we start on Thursday, I'm in, if not I'll wait.

hoopsguy · 06-09-2008, 09:10 PM

You can list me as "in" - if I need to drop I'll work on scaring up a replacement player for me.

EagleFan · 06-09-2008, 09:56 PM

When does this thing start? I'd be interested in playing, but I'm not sure I want to possibly be playing two games at once.

If I get 14 by tomorrow, it'll start then. If need be, I can wait until the Simple Game to finish. I'd really like to have a good turnout for this game.

I'm assuming you're waiting for me to reply.. sure I'll play you can sign me up. With the way things have been going lately if you start the game tommorrow I'll be dead before Thursday anyways

hoopsguy · 06-10-2008, 04:28 PM

Alan, if I end up being a wolf then I promise not to kill you on Night 1. And if my teammates do not demand it over my objections.

I'm sure you feel much better.

If you can wait, I'd like to join too. I'm having a lot of fun with the game but I don't think I'd like to play too at once yet.

Well, the latest I want to wait to start would be Thursday. But I will wait until then.

So I guess that's official: The game will start Thursday morning at about 9 A.M. EST.
