As much as I'd like to be the eccentric bum or the hermit, I'll choose more utilitarian-- I'll be the baker.

From this point onward it is asked that players refrain from unnecessary posting in this thread, posts announcing an absence from gameplay or asking for clarification from the mod are acceptable, posts such as "Oh wow, I'm a Wolf!" are not.


Gameplay consists of two stages, that of NIGHT and that of DAY. Each stage shall last twenty-four (24) hours, or as close to 24 hours as the mod is able to come (think "within half an hour").

During the DAY stage all villagers communicate openly in the game thread and cast their votes. Also during the DAY the RANGER and HUNTER may communicate privately through PM, no other players should be communicating about the game in private during this stage.

During the NIGHT stage the villagers "sleep" in the game thread (read: don't post), while the WEREWOLVES, SEER, FALSE SEER, RANGER and HUNTER send their choices to the mod via PM (if necessary to the sub-mod as well, though they shall be told if that's needed). The Wolves may communicate through PM as much as necessary to determine their kill before PMing the Mod, no other players should be communicating about the game during this stage.



The Roles which are included in this game are:

3 WEREWOLVES: The Werewolves can communicate privately through PM during the NIGHT stage of gameplay. Their goal is to kill off innocent villagers until the number of wolves and the number villagers is the same. Wolves can be killed by being lynched or by being the Hunter's choice at the time of the Hunter's Death, understandably they should therefore try to avoid those.

1 SEER: The Seer can dream of one villager each NIGHT and learn of that person's roll. The Seer's goal is to find the werewolves and help the rest of the village in lynching them.

1 FALSE SEER: The False Seer believes themselves to be a Normal Seer. Like the Seer the False Seer dreams of one villager each NIGHT. Unlike the Seer the role the False Seer recieves for that person is not guaranteed to be correct. When the Flase Seer dreams of a person the role they recieve is pulled at random from all the available roles, the only exception to this being if the False Seer dreams of the True Seer in which case they are told they have dreamd of the "False Seer". The information the False Seer recieves may be correct unless it is impossible for the person's true role to be dreamed of (For Example: if the False Seer dreams of the true Ranger but has already been told another player is the Ranger their dream cannot be correct, if they hadn't already recieved "Ranger" in response to a dream it is possible for them to dream correctly).

1 RANGER: The Ranger can choose each NIGHT one villager to protect from the Werewolves. If the Ranger and the Wolves pick the same person that person will not be killed and the next DAY will begin with no death. During the DAY the Ranger may communicate via PM with the Hunter.

1 HUNTER: The Hunter can choose at anytime one villager to Hunt. If the Hunter is killed (either by wolves or by lynching) the last person they chose to Hunt will be killed with them. During the DAY the Hunter may communicate via PM with the Ranger. (Note: I'm allowing the Hunter to pick a person at anytime so that they can chose someone new in case they are lynched, I would still appreciate it if the Hunter sent me a new choice each NIGHT)

12 VILLAGERS: The Villagers are Ordinary Villagers. There is nothing special about them. During the DAY they should communicate openly in the Game Thread in order to hunt out the Wolves. The Villager's Goal is to find the 3 wolves before the number of wolves and the number of villagers is equal. Villagers may not communicate, either openly or privately, during the NIGHT.



Thank You, and you should recieve roles as soon as I've pulled them from a hat. The SEER and FALSE SEER may dream as soon as they are able after that.

Werewolf game XVIII has now begun. A new thread will begin with the start of DAY 1 in approximately twenty-four hours.

[EDIT: umm, you probably didn't need this (and that's probably why I forgot it), but please do remain in INVISIBLE mode for so long as you are alive and in the game. Thanks Again.]

Nilpaurion Felagund has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space.

Didn't this just happen last game?

Nilp, since I just repped you it won't let me send you your role that way either. I'll give you an hour or so, if I still can't PM you then I'll go on a repping spree and get to you that way.


Everyone else should have their roles by now, if you don't for some reason please PM me to let me know.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

PMs cleared.

Now that the game is underway, I'd just like to note:

The voting deadline is 5 AM where I live. That means I'm quite likely to vote 5 or 6 hours early each day. Please try not to hold it against me!

[Glirdan]

As for me, it's right when I get out of school on some days so expect my vote some time early...like almost 10 hours early.

[Glirdan]

Ok, here's a long explanation (again ).

1) My participation this week shall be very limited. I have school until Friday. I have band practice tomorrow after school until 4:30 and on Friday, I have a performance and I will probably be there until midnight. (all my time [Eastern]) My participation on the weekend should be a great deal.

2) Next week, I have school. Tuesday, I have band practice. Wednsday and Thurdsday I have a Festival which my school is running and I ahve to stay there until 6. On Friday, the same Festival but I won't be out until 8. After that, my time should be slightly more liberated. Keep in mind though that my parents kick me off the computer frequently and do not get to post as much as I would like.
