Werewolf Lite CCXXVI: Gold Rush
The Gold Rush has all but started in Alaska, but already the fortune-seekers are flocking to this inhospitable place. Gold fever has struck and the competition is becoming murderous as everyone wants a their share. While most people have honest intentions there are a few who will stop at nothing to win in this golden race. Crime and violence have ravaged the mining camps, but finally things will come to an end. In the city of Dawson a number of people have decided to take matters into their own hands and get rid of these unscrupulous murderers. To their aid a man has been sent from the famous Pinkerton detective bureau, but can he rally the honest folk before his undercover identity is exposed?
The question is, will they succeed or will they too end up as victims, buried in shallow graves by unknown killers?
EUROO7's Werewolf Lite Primer for Absolute Newbies
Werewolf Lite is a game of survival. Your main goal, no matter your role, is to survive. The game is played with seventeen players divided into two sides: the Villagers and Seer on one side, the Werewolves on the other. Each side's goal is to eliminate the other. Out of these seventeen, five are given a special role. Four are Werewolves, and one is a Seer. Their identities must remain secret. If the Seer's identity is revealed, the Werewolves may hunt their most dangerous enemy. If the Werewolves' identities are revealed, the village will surely lynch the monsters.
The game is divided into two sections. Day and Night. The game begins with a Night session. During the Night, the Werewolves hunt one person, and the Seer may discover the role of one player. During the Day, the villagers must decide who is responsible for the murder of the Night past.
Every game has a special theme. The theme for this game is above. Let your Werewolf journey begin...
Standard Lite Rules
There shall be seventeen (17) players. Special Roles will be handed out after the last person signs up. Everyone will get a PM.
The game will then proceed to a Night deadline.
The game is divided into two periods - night and day. For practical reasons these two periods take place at the same time, from one update till the next.
Each day, all players gather and decide to lynch one of the players - the person they think is most likely to be a werewolf. Each night, the werewolves decide who to kill. In each 24 hour period, the village will lynch, and the werewolves will hunt. The villagers can try to lynch multiple people by creating a glorious, Lemeard-approved, TIE, and the werewolves can also decide not to hunt anyone at all at night. Beware of Crovaxian slips as well!
The werewolves win if they manage to reach parity with the villagers.
The villagers and seer win if they manage to kill all the werewolves.
