Werewolf Lite CXXXIX: The Health Care Debate
Current day America. The newly elected President's honeymoon period is fading fast. The democrat majority is attempting to ram a health care reform bill through the legislative process, and many people don't like it. From the critics, there have been cries of socialism, communism, health care rationing, and just plain dumb congresspeople. From the supporting side, there have been cries calling the protesters mobs, Nazis, "astro-turf", and racists.
Who will win? Only time will tell.....
Is that lady in the green shirt's arm broken?

Rules:
There shall be seventeen (17) players. Special Roles will be handed out after the last person signs up.
The game will then proceed to a Day 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!
Winning:
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.
Player Roles:*
1x Nancy Pelosi (Seer): The leader of the village. Can scan one target each night, revealing if they are a werewolf or a villager. If you lynch him, I will laugh for 5 minutes.
4x Health Care Protesters (Werewolves): The people not wanting to socialize health care. They may choose one person per night to convert to their side. (They may hunt one person a night and kill them.)
12x Congresspeople (Villagers): The people trying to push the bill through. They are looking out for their party and for self-interest, but their constituents have different ideas....
Roleplaying:
You are to pick one of the sides of the health care debate, and role play as a member from that side.

DEADLINE FOR VOTES AND OTHER STUFF IS 20:00 GMT

(it is curious that this rule is in here, but not everyone listens to it
)Any other type of voting will not be counted and will make you eligible for subbing. In case of re-voting without un-voting the original vote will be the counted vote. DO NOT EDIT VOTES AFTER POSTING THEM.
§9. - The GM can and will remove players if the GM believes the player is not participating at his/her full capacity. This will be done through the use of killing the player's role, or using substitutes, if they are available. All such decisions are made solely at the discretion of the GM. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THE GAME IF YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T PARTICIPATE.
§10. - EUROO7 will deal with all medical problems.
*If anyone cares, I don't actually think the congresspeople are the goodies. I always root for the baddies, so I made them the group I would feel good rooting for.
