Since I have nothing better to do – oh jolly holidays - and am quite done decorating Christmas trees, I thought I might as well start further developing my own Werewolf Scenario. I got an idea some time ago, when I was still relatively new to the game, and have not yet been able to let it go.

I always found the role of the Shiriffs – as a team - rather interesting, though in the game I don’t believe they have really worked so far. When the Shiriffs were allowed to reveal themselves they were too strong, when they were not, they seemed rather useless. So after toying with these two soul mates for a while, adding a little Cobbler and a bit of Black Beorning, plus a little Shakespearean romance, I came up with something else:

The Lovers.

The game would be close to an ordinary game of Werewolves. The village should consist of about sixteen players, three wolves, a Hunter, a Seer and a Ranger. However, one of the wolves and one of the Ordinary Villagers are more than they appear. It is tragic, surely, but some twisted fate decided these two sworn enemies should fall in love. They shall form a separate, third team and can only win if they survive together. This might be rather interesting, for where in all previous games the wolves could blindly trust each other, they now have a traitor in their midst who not only wishes to feast on the villagers, but also his fellow wolves – blinded by love, naturally. The devoted ordinary villager in the meantime will have to betray all his or her ordinary friends to be able to live happily ever after with his/her furry lover.

At night, the werewolf in love would have to do anything to prevent his beloved from being eaten – without raising suspicion with the other wolves. During the day, there shall be two people who will really have to defend each other with their lives – because they cannot survive without the other – and still, without drawing attention too themselves. It might really damage the position of the wolves, but on the other hand, the lover-werewolf would have to keep his fellows alive to get rid of the other Villagers as quickly as possible.

I was thinking along the following lines:

- If one of the lovers gets lynched, eaten or shot by the Hunter, the other shall automatically die of grief.
- If the Seer dreams of one of the lovers, he or she shall only see their normal role, not the lover part.
- The Lovers win if they survive together or if the composition of the village is Lover – Lover – Wolf or Lover – Lover – Villager.

So – what do you all think? Did I overlook something? Could it work? Most importantly – would it add anything to the game or am I just seriously deluded?

(LMP, I hope you don't mind I'm using your thread for this.)
