3 werewolves are selected at random by the Narrator (me), along with one Psychic. The rest of the players are normal villagers. The werewolves know who their fellow lycanthropes are, but the villagers are completely uninformed. Neither the villagers nor the werewolves know who the Psychic is. The Narrator announces who has been killed/lynched and coordinates the game, but is not a player per se.
The three wolves are distinguished by names:
Wolf Fenrir
Wolf Angau
Wolf Doohan
The game is divided into "day" and "night" cycles, which are usually 24 hours each. The extended days are so that members from different timezones can participate equally.
Villagers
For the Villagers, the aim is to kill all the Wolves. At the outset of the game, the Villagers do not know who the Wolves are; it is up to them to figure it out.
The Villagers can vote to 'lynch' someone they suspect of being a wolf during the day cycle of the game. To do so, they must secure a certain number of votes (50% - 60%, the exact number will be declared at the beginning of the day). Wolves can participate in the discussion and vote as well, because the villager don't know who they are. People who have already died in the course of the game are not allowed to talk during the day (only during the night), and hence cannot vote.
The Psychic is on the side of the Villagers; he/she gets one chance each night to make a guess and find out whether or not someone is a Wolf. The Psychic sends me a PM, and I tell him/her whether or not that player is a wolf. What the Psychic does with that information is completely up to them.
An important note as well: If the villagers win, ALL of the villagers win (including the dead ones). Because dead villagers (and wolves) can post during the night, being killed does not necessarily mean the game is over for you.
Wolves
The Wolves win when they have reduced the villagers down to a 3:1 ratio. Once this ratio is reached, the wolves will overrun the town and kill all remaining villagers. This means that if both wolves are alive, they will win when only 6 villagers remain (8 people total).
Unlike the villagers, each Wolf knows who the other Wolf is. Every night, a Wolf can send me a PM telling me who they want to kill, and then that person will be killed. The Wolves take it in turns: Wolf Fenrir the first night, Wolf Ulric the second. On the third night, it is Wolf Fenrir's turn again. If a wolf dies, the wolves do not lose a turn. The following morning, I will reveal who was killed.
*Not its actual name
I am will sign up.
Too me!
Three werewolves this time? Should be interesting. Maybe we'll actually kill one of them this time.
Wasn't there three before

Cool.
I'll send around PMs tomorrow, to confirm that the people who wanted in last time still want to play.
I wanna play too!
For the people who had asked to be signed up in the original Werewolf game thread
Please send me a PM or post in this thread to be signed up; I'd like to confirm that everyone who was interested then is still up for another round. We don't want any absentee players.
That being said, Annabel, Iason, and NotPublished have been signed up for this round (along with FP and Lysergic).
:link:
I sends a PM.
I'm in.
I'll play
im in still
I'm down. Not sure if I really get it though, but I'll muddle through.
Based upon no evidence whatsoever, a bunch of people have to choose who to kill.
If they choose wrong enough times, they lose the game.
Oh, cool. Sounds like fun, I'm definitely down. :)
Also: :argh!:
Bring it on. I'm ready for more paranoid antics!
I can't vote to kill you now that you have Jim Carrey's face. :sad:
Saint Truman protects me.
aw shit I'm sorry guys, but the upcoming 7-10 days or so I'm gonna have to spend all my time catching a wayyy overdue deadline, I can't promise checking the werewolf thread at least once every 24 hours, let alone spend time on being all paranoid and scheming and shit :(
That be a werewolf talking!
Hope you catch up on painful overdue work :(

Alright, will start on Monday (going to be out all day tomorrow with RemingtonGF).
didnt wanna play anyways :P
I keep trying to read this thread, and make sense of it.
Yet, I fail again and again.
Is this "online role-playing"?
No the idea is to figure out who are the werewolves and kill them off, basicly a mind fuck game. Lotsa fun. I also enjoy being dramatic
theres always a variation of it but its very simular say an online version of heads up 7up

I liked your drama! One of my biggest (tactical) mistakes was trying to sabotage your lynch vote, but because you were fun to play with I didn't spend much time regretting that move :)
you never played heads up seven up? its a pretty common childhood game.
seven people are selected and the rest of the class puts their head down,
then the seven selected go around and tap people on the shoulder
or press down their thumb
and then the class has to guess who goosed them
Oh! We called it "Heads down thumbs up"
