Deep in the American countryside, the little town of Millers Hollow has recently been infiltrated by Werewolves.

Each night, murders are committed by Townsfolk, who, due to some mysterious phenomenon have become Werewolves.

It is now time to take control and eliminate this ancient evil, before the town loses its last few inhabitants.

A game for 8 - 24 players.

Objective of the game:

For the Werewolves: Kill all of the Townsfolk.

For the Townsfolk: Kill all of the Werewolves.

There are up to 24 characters in a game

16 Ordinary Townfolk - These folks have no special abilities other than their own intuition. Each Ordinary Townsperson must analyze the other players behavior to guess who is a werewolf and try not to be falsely mistaken for one and be unduly lynched, hung, or burned to death by majority vote. their vote count as 1 vote. PM me your votes.

1 Fortune Teller - Each night the fortune teller can see the true personality of one player. The fortune teller chooses which player this will be and pm's me their name at which point I privately tell them what the player in question is. The fortune teller must help the other townsfolk to correctly identify the werewolves without being discovered by the werewolves making him/herself a primary target.

1 Hunter - If the hunter is killed by the werewolves or lynched by the Townsfolk, he/she MAY retaliate. With his/her dying breath, the hunter may shoot and kill any one player. The hunter may do so openly within the game, no need to pm me first.

1 Cupid - The town matchmaker, at the start of the game picks any two players who become lovers. Please pm me and the two you've picked, or I can pm them for you. Cupid CAN chose him/herself as one of the lovers. If one lover dies the other immediately kills themselves in a fit of grief. A lover cannot, even as a bluff, vote to lynch their lover.

Special case:
If one of the lovers is a werewolf and the other is a townsperson the two share this information and the object of the game for THEM is to eliminate ALL other players (other Werewolves and Townsfolk alike!)

1 Witch - This townsperson owns two very powerful potions, when used, are gone for the rest of the game. The first is a healing potion, which can be used to resurrect one player killed by a Werewolf. The second is a poison used during the night to eliminate one player. PM me which potion and who you've used it on, please.

1 Sheriff - Players take a majority vote as to who will be entrusted with the mantle of Sheriff. Once elected, the player cannot refuse the honor and his/her votes count as 2 votes (Always applied to a singler player, not split.) If the Sheriff is eliminated, upon his/her deathbed, the Sheriff appoints his successor, who becomes the new Sheriff. This may be open knowledge, no need to pm me.

4 werewolves - Each night the werewolves agree upon one Townsperson which they will bite, kill and devoure. During the day they must try to conceal their identity and vile deeds from the townsfolk.

If you are intersted in playing, please post below. Once I get enough players, I will shuffle and deal out randomly. (PMing each player what they are.) Keep your roles secret please, and above all, lets have some fun. Apart from that, and all of the above info there is really very little structure to the game, so you can do and say what you wish within the thread.

I've played this before as "Mafia". I'd definitely play, but I'm going to disappear after Monday. Good luck though.

ahh so thats suppose to say January 30th. I was going to point out that Feb doesn't have thirty days.
 
I've got the cards sitting right next to the computer here... LOL, come on folks, lets play!
 
Sure, I'll bite. The pun wasn't really intended, but since I made it, I think I'm leaving it. This sounds like a fun little game, if sufficient people join.

So, a few questions about the logistics. How do you determine when the days are over? Surely we won't use actual days, since that require getting a minimum of about 8 people to each post daily, which is a daunting task. Maybe each week, then? Or perhaps you could just determine that it's any time period, during which every surviving player posts.

Sounds like enough fun if the details are taken care of, and there's enough people interested in playing.
 
The easiest way to do this I think is like this.

Day is over once I have received everyone's vote through pm, and reveal in a post who the lynching victim will be.

Night ends once I get A) The fortune tellers pm and reply B) Hear from the werewolves as to who they wish to eat during the night through pm.

So, Day begins with me revealing who the werewolves ate during the night

And night begins with me revealing who the townsfolk lynch during the day.
 
Oh, and thank you for joining Noon_Shadow, lets hope we can get at least 7 more people willing to play. (Of course with 8 players, there will only be 2 werewolves, and all of the special townsfolk except the fortune teller get cut.)
 
Okay, Ravenloft. I am new to the Lounge and willing to give it a try.

What about those of us who have to leave for work or to do other things, but come back to continue playing?
 
J R Wilson, the game is very likely to go on for some time, as I would have to give everyone the chance to pm me their lynching votes.

I'm figuring a real world week would give everyone enough time, depending on how many players join, to expect everyone's lynch votes.

I'll add you to the list above now. Thanks for joining!

Thanks! I need to expand my horizons here at Lit.:)
 
I'll take a shot at it. I don't have any other SRPs at all and need to do something.
 
Welcome Softly, Avellan and Thyme.

That makes seven people, with one more player, we could start a small game, or would you like me to hold out for a bigger group?

I'd like to hold out until we can see if we can at least 12-16, I think. But only for a while.
 
Do any of you have any lit friends you might be able to talk into playing? LOL!
