Opening and Rules

Werewolf was dead. That was a fact. P. Doxx Werewolf, noted chandelier inventor, dairy farmer, Supreme Leader of Earth and all around international man of mystery, had died at the ripe old age of, let's say, 11. To his funeral he didn't invite his friends, or his family, but 17 random dignitaries. Of course, a wide variety of foreign spy agencies wished to gain access to Werewolf's funeral, perhaps hoping for a financial contribution or somesuch, so 4 of those dignitaries were slain by other, far more attractive agents, who took on their identities and invitations to the funeral.
The catch, of course, was that Werewolf was not dead. Indeed, he was very much alive. So alive, in fact, that he had faked his death in order to see who would actually show up to his funeral. When he realized that some of his invitees had been replaced by impostors, he was shocked and appalled, so he decided to kill them. Of course, he didn't know who they were, so he decided to play an elaborate game wherein as long as the impostors were on the hoof, he and his guests would attempt to kill each other by voting.
Is Werewolf dead? Is Werewolf alive? Can I get any more meta? I don't know.
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 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 an Impostor. Each night, the Impostors decide who to kill. In each 24 hour period, the Invitees will lynch, and the Impostors will hunt. The Invitees can try to lynch multiple people by creating a deck, Lemeard-approved TIE, and the Impostors can also decide not to hunt anyone at all at night, even though, let's face it, it's a very stupid decision which I don't believe anyone has ever intentionally carried out. (Wagon, correct me politely if I'm wrong.)
The Impostors win if they reach parity with the Invitees. The Invitees win if they eliminate the Impostors, for certain definitions of winning, considering many of them probably threw their lives away for nothing. But hey, isn't that what Werewolf is all about?
4 X Impostors: These folks are Mysterious Foreign Agents™ who are cooperating in order to find out the secrets of P. Doxx Werewolf, and possibly make some money too. While they are at it, they plan to kill all the invitees for practice, as one does when one is a Mysterious Foreign Agent™.
1 X Werewolf: This man, mysterious as he is, has faked his own death to see who would show up to his funeral. No, it doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense to me either. As he drew up the guest list, he has the ability to investigate one person every night to determine if they are truly invited or an impostor.
