Werewolf Lite CCCLXXV: Devil(s) in the White City
The year is 1893. After over a year's worth of preparations, the World's Columbian Exposition, or the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, is open! Hundreds of thousands of people flow in for what promises to be the show of the lifetime.
However, the glow of the White City naturally draws in darkness around it, and this is no more obvious than the actions of a certain H.H. Holmes, who after the Fair will be revealed to have slain several guests who lived in his hotel, after getting them to sign their life insurance in his name.
All of this pales, however, to the conspiracy unfolding inside the Fair itself, in the darkness of the night, one which, if successful, will ruin the fair, and embarrass all those involved.
You are all members of the Chicago Police Department, tasked with ensuring the Fair runs smoothly, and, most importantly, that this conspiracy is stopped. You do need to have haste in this mission, however, as it is believed these conspirators will not settle for just any small target...
Rules:
There shall be 17 players, and the number of players shall be 17.
Roles will only be handed out after sign-ups are closed.
Roles:
12x Police Officers (Villagers): Regular, run-of-the-mill police officers. You aren't getting paid enough for this.
4x Conspirators (Wolves): Men disguised as officers. They'll kill you in a heart beat, but only at night, and only one person per night (don't want to draw suspicion, after all).
1x Police Commissioner (Seer): Your boss. You don't really know what he looks like, though. However, he actually cares about this investigation, and will even work at night to investigate, looking into the activities of one of you each night.
Deadline:
Deadline will be at 21:00 GMT. You are responsible for your own conversions to your own timezone. All vote occurring on and after 21:00 GMT will not be counted. Even if the GM (or another player) does not call deadline at that time, it is still understood to be then, and the rules will still be followed.
Winning the Game:
You win by not losing. You lose if you die, and, in addition, villagers and the seer lose if the number of living wolves equal the number of living villagers plus the number of living seers (note that there can only ever be one living seer). This is known as parity, and villagers are to avoid it at all costs.
