Werewolf CXIII: Death at Deadmen's Dike - ADMIN

The once grand city of Fornost Erain has long decayed into complete ruin. Over the years, the empty stones became home to many a creature. The Breelanders and other peaceful folk tells stories of the horrors that live at Deadmen's Dike, as the place became known. For many years the creatures prospered, until a vicious gang came down from the mountains. They were werewolves, shapeshifters. In the night, they slaughtered and hid the good ghouls and wights and mewlips and took their shape in the day, and planned to murder all the local residents one by one until they had complete monopoly on the Bree stock market!

Did you think the Breelanders were gonna be the ordos? That would have been too predictable.

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Welcome to werewolf!

Last summer I discovered that a good number of werewolfing Downers are quite uneducated on the topic of Moon Moon. For those of you who are not familiar with this special individual, Moon Moon is a retarded wolf and has a great skill for exasperating and annoying the other wolves. No, he is not real. Among other things, this game is meant to educate Downers on this marvel of nature (*cough*the internet* cough).

ROLES:

Ordos: the foul creatures inhabiting the Dike for decades past, minding their own business, and generally being harmless (except to the occasional straggler).

Seer: your typical Seer. One dream a Night, starting Night 1. Will see all roles.

Ranger: the [somewhat confused] corpse / spirit of a Ranger of the North, killed by the creatures a long time ago, and now putting his skills to use by protecting his new people (and happily eating Breelanders with the rest of them). Typical Ranger. May self-protect. May not protect the same person 2 Nights in a row.

The "innocents" wins if all the Wolves are eliminated.

Werewolves: a vicious band of shapeshifters. 2 or 3, depending on how many people sign up. Kill one individual during the Nights. On Night 1 may talk but do not kill. Win if their number equals to or exceeds the number of innocents on tally. Bonus points if Moon Moon does not survive the game.

Moon Moon: cobbler; a local werewolf. Counts as innocent in the tally, but wants to join the wolf pack and tries to help them. Wins if wolves win. Bonus points if survives the game.

Note that in the event of wolf victory, either the wolves or Moon Moon must compromise something. If Moon Moon survives, the werewolves must accept him into the pack and suffer his constant stupidity. If Moon Moon bravely dies in attempt to assist the wolves, they will surely think more kindly of him, but he won't be around to see it. In both cases, they are victorious, but it's only a partial victory for one of them.


Here are some Moon Moon memes, to start you off on your education*:







*Moon Moon memes are encouraged from all and shall not be used as evidence against a player.


Deadline: Either 7-10 pm EST (12pm-3am GMT if I'm not mistaken. Local time now as I'm writing this post is 8:30 pm, for reference), OR 7-8 am EST (12-1pm GMT). I prefer the first option because it gives me more time around the deadline and I'm more likely to be there. But I'm flexible on the DL time, and if you don't mind waiting a bit for the narrations it can even be shifted a bit off the times I have up.

Voting: please ++highlight your vote, using [highlight] ++NAME [/ highlight] as the template (without spaces).

In the event of a tie, the FIRST person to get the highest number of votes is lynched.

During the game, set your mode to invisible!

PLAYERS: (feel free to specify or leave unknown what type of scary creature are you)
Inzil
Rune - slightly unsettling fox
Nerwen - Barrow Wight
Sally - Boo Joe, a teacup Pomeranian with abnormally sharp teeth and a Napoleon complex
Boro
Lalaith - fell voice on the air
Pitch - undead vampire bat
Huinesoron - inverted gorcrow
Morsul - demigorgon
Shasta


If you have thoughts on game dynamics or theme or anything else, I'm open to suggestions. I'm not sure how the cobbler role will work in small numbers, and I might take it away if we have too few people. The game is supposed to be simple and fun, not super stressful and complicated.

As a scary creature I will be a fox with a pendence for maintaining eye contact the entire conversation and lingering pawshakes.

Any good, or did you have something else in mind?

Would it be okay to summarize that as a creepy fox?

Slightly unsettling fox? Intense and awkward fox?

Creepy fox would be encroaching on Gil-Galads territory.

Do as you like, but I would like for the description to vary in each narration. Is that too much to ask?

We'll see how much time I have to write each narration.

Hang on, I didn't vote for this....

A teacup Pomeranian does sound absolutely horrific! Unless of course you are talking about a dog...

Update: new roles sent out

All past and current special roles should have gotten an email with the role change information. Ordos who remained ordos did not receive a second PM. I would appreciate it if ALL special roles sent me a PM toNight to confirm their role, to make sure that there was no misinterpretation of the roles and everyone got the role they are assigned with the most recent draw. If you are not sure about your role please also shoot me a PM.

Basically, if the only PM you got says you are an ordo, that is who you are. Otherwise follow the most recent information. If you did not get any PM with a role ever, let me know ASAP.

I'm sorry to announce that I'll be on the road to see some relatives for most of toMorrow. I should be home by evening my time = noonish Galadriel-time and will try to make up for my earlier absence.

It happens. As a mod who managed to miss every deadline so far, it would be really hypocritical of me to shoot people down for a single missed vote.
