The Rules Post
Werewolf CD - Espionage
The world is embroiled in war. Unlike the wars before, however, this war is fought not by armies, but by spies: men and women who lurk in the shadows, weakening governments, supporting coups, and collecting intelligence on their enemies. The CIA is the United States' spy agency, the counter to the Soviet KGB. The Soviets, however, seek to turn their enemy's defense against their enemy, by sneakily launching an internal takeover with sleeper agents, recently awoken with orders to sabotage the agency, and bring down the Director. However, the Director will not go down easily. After a botched attempt to rid themselves of the Director, one of the double agents were caught, and revealed the existence of the conspiracy, but nothing more. It is now a race against time. The Director has disguised himself amongst his agents and has begun looking into their backgrounds, desperately trying to unmask the remaining double agents before it the CIA is taken over, and he is killed...
RULES:
There will be 17 players, no more, no less. Roles will be handed out after #17 signs up, or after a significant time has passed since the last sign-up.
The game will then proceed to the First Night (after I have handed you your roles).
The Roles
1x CIA Director (Seer)
4x Double Agents (Werewolves)
12x CIA Agents (Villagers)
Central Intelligence Agency Agent (Villager): Members of the CIA, they are on the lookout for Soviet infiltrators.
Double Agent (Werewolf): Soviet Infiltrator, wants to takeover the CIA and cripple US spy operations.
Central Intelligence Agency Director (Seer): The man appointed to be in charge of the CIA by the President. Once per night, he researches an agent's background, to check if he is a Soviet Agent.
NOTE: Obviously, the players are encouraged to choose appropriate characters to play as, and to roleplay if they like. However, if a player does not choose a character, one will be selected for them at such time that something happens to them, usually something bad.
Deadlines for votes are given by 18:00 GMT – (PLEASE CONVERT THIS TO YOUR OWN TIME ZONE IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID FUTURE CONFUSION, for example, this is 12:00 CST). A vote at 17:59 will count, whereas a vote at 18:00 will not.
Game starts with a nocturnal deadline.
Winning: The CIA Agents win by finding all the Double Agents. The Double Agents win by reaching 50% or more of the remaining total agents.
Standard Lite Rules
There shall be seventeen players. All roles will be handed out after the last person signs up. 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 are run concurrently, from one update till the next. Each update is 24 hours apart.
Each day, all players vote 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.
