Werewolf Lite CDIV: Alpha Zero
For the past fifteen years, computer engines have ruled the world of chess, dominating over their flesh and blood opponents and revolutionizing the game. But now a new challenger emerges, an AI called Alpha Zero with learning unlike any chess engine. With just four hours of intense self-learning, Alpha Zero prepares itself for battle against the world's leading chess engine, Stockfish. Y'all are programmers for one of the two chess gladiators, vying for victory. Will Stockfish defend its hold over the chess world? Or will a new titan emerge...?
RULES:
There will be 17 players, no more, no less. Roles will be handed out after #17 signs up.
The game will then proceed to the First Night (after I have handed you your roles).
The Roles:
These are the possible ways roles will be distributed. I will randomly select one set-up; each possibility has an equal chance of being chosen. Once the set-up is determined, it will stay that way throughout the entire game. Players will not be informed which setup is operative at any given time.
