Doom of the WereYak 4: Urartu, 2,348 B.C.


The World has ended in Water.

14c9utf.jpg

The Lord sent the rains for Seven Months, and drowned the Earth, sparing only those few who had taken shelter in the Ark built by the Patriarch Noah. The Holy Ark, the only spark of life remaining in the World, has come to rest on the towering mountain of Urartu after 10 months adrift in the Flood. There, the few Noakim have begun explore the world that God has returned to them. They are the last Sons of Adam, and are ready to divide the world between them, and renew their Covenant with the Lord.

But not all of the autocthonous evils of the world were purged in the Deluge.

The Scourges of Enoch, the Scions of Cain, the vile WereYak, have survived the Flood. And their ancient vendetta against Creation remains, even after its destruction. While the floodwaters recede, their vile number plot to murder the last few wisps of the Breath of the Lord.

Will the Noakim fall to the antediluvian monsters who have pursued them beyond the First Apocalypse? Or will they be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the Earth?


THE RULES​

§1. You sign up for the game by requesting so in a post in this thread.
§1a. No new players will be admitted into the game once it has started, unless they are replacing an existing player who is unable to play anymore.
§1b. If you are listed as a player but haven't received any message containing your role, you are a normal villager (as far as you know).
§1c. You are responsible for keeping your private message inbox empty enough to receive private messages. You are responsible for any messages missed due to your inbox being full.

§2. The game is split in two phases, “night” and “day.” The Baddies hunt and specials do their things during the night and all players vote to lynch during the day.
§2a. Orders must be submitted to the Game Moderator before the deadline.
§2b. Lynchings are done by public voting. Whoever gets the most votes before the deadline is lynched. Correct voting is done by typing

Vote Yakman

changing one's vote is done by

Unvote Yakman

vote Avernite


If votes are not bolded I cannot guarantee that I will find them, and they may not be counted. If the proper player is not unvoted, the new vote will not count.

§2c. – Players will vote daily. Should they not vote, THEY WILL BE REPLACED. There will be no exceptions unless the Game Moderator states otherwise.
§2d. – Invalid votes (Voting for Game Moderator/Ghosts/Self) will not be accepted. Invalid votes will not be counted in vote tallies and will not count towards participation.
§2d(i). - Players who attempt to abuse any rules to further themselves will be auto-lynched at the GMs discretion.

§2e. DEADLINE FOR VOTES AND OTHER STUFF IS (1800 EST / 2300 GMT)
§2f. Posting or sending forged Private Messages (PMs) are allowed. Screenshots of PMs are not. PMs from the moderator are for your eyes only. Do not show them to others, as this defeats the idea of the game.
§2g. Sending a PM containing a false/impossible order to the GM will be punished with instant DOOM.

§3. SPECTATORS AND GHOSTS MAY HAUNT, TAUNT AND FLAUNT, BUT NEVER REVEAL ANY INFORMATION.
§3a. ANYONE CAUGHT REVEALING SECRET/INSIDE INFORMATION WILL BE *PERMANENTLY* BANNED FROM PARTICIPATION. NO EXCUSES ARE VALID.


§3b. When doing ghost/spectator commentary, please use a non-white color.

§4. The villagers win when all Yaks are dead. The Yaks win when they eliminate the other evil packs and the evil villagers equal or outnumber the good ones.

§5. The abilities of the special roles override these rules in case there is any conflict.
§5a. Nightly orders are handled in the following order:

Nightly Move Order:

1. Sorcerer
2. Doctor
3. Sack of Wine
4. WereYak - If multiple attack orders are sent from the same pack, the last order submitted is the one that counts.
5. Clairvoyant
6. Prophet (Priest)
7. Patriarch (Seer)

§6. All players will be given one of the following roles.

ROLES

Noakim: Good. Has no special abilities. (Villager)
WereYak: Evil. Belongs to a pack. Wins if only their pack and other Evil characters are the only ones surviving. A pack can send in a hunt order at night, which will kill the player that is hunted unless they are saved by a special ability.
Patriarch: Good. Sends in a scan order each night to determine if a player is a WereYak or a villager. Sends in one scan order each night. (Seer)
Sorcerer: Evil. Works with the Yaks, and wins if they win. Can nullify the powers of any player for one night. That player will not receive a response from the GM if a scanner. Sends in one order each night, but cannot target the same player two nights in a row. At game start, the Sorcerer is aware of the names of one pack.
Prophet: Good. Able to scan players and detect cultists, seers, and sorcerers. Sends in one scan order each night. (Priest)
Doctor: Good. The doctor can protect one player each night from attack by sending a PM with that player's name to the GM. If the protected player is attacked, the doctor saves him that night, but that player spends the next day recuperating this will be revealed as “no kill during the night.” Recuperating players cannot be hunted the next night. The victim is given the name of the doctor after recuperating, but while recuperating cannot vote or make any cogent posts, but they must post at least one LOLCAT picture or they die. If the player is a WereYak, the doctor will be informed of this after saving them.
Lilitu: Evil. Works with the Yaks, and wins if they Win. Lilitu are descendants of the accursed first wife of Adam, and, work to advance the downfall of the Lord. If all WereYaks of a Cultist's pack are killed, the Cultist will be given the name of a surviving WereYak. Begins play with the name of one WereYak.(Cultist)

§6a. There are also TRAITS which can be had in addition to roles.

TRAITS

Apprentice: Only becomes active if his master is killed. A scanner can have more than one Apprentice but in case of the scanner's death only the first Apprentice will become active. Apprentices work just like their former master. If an Apprentice is in the game, the first scanner who finds him will make him his Apprentice. An unclaimed Apprentice does not know that he is one until he is scanned. There might be claimed Apprentices at game start in which case these claimed Apprentices will know their role. Players who start out as baddies cannot be apprentices.
Brutal: If lynched, can choose to kill one other player before dying.
Clairvoyant: Has a one time super-scan (100% success), revealing all roles and traits (including hidden ones).
Consumption: If the Consumptive player is eaten by the WereYaks, that pack will be too sick to send in a hunt order the next night. Consumptive players are aware of their trait.
Cub: A cub is always a WereYak. If a cub is lynched, the Yaks who are members of that cub's pack can hunt TWO players who voted to lynch the cub. However, both of these players must have voted for lynching the cub. If they choose to hunt a player who did not vote for the cub, they cannot hunt a second player on that night. Defenders who attempt to stop/divert the Yaks when they carry out a revenge hunt are killed instead of the Yaks' targets. The Cub-revenge attack can occur at any night after the cub was lynched.
Cursed: If this person is hunted, he will not die, but instead become a WereYak.
Scapegoat: If lynched, renders all night actions void for that day.
Lucky: A Lucky person will survive a WereYak attack, but only once. Will be revealed as a "no kill during the night". The Lucky will be unaware he is lucky, and will not know that he was attacked
Officer: Once in the game, can choose to save the duly elected lynch victim and choose someone else to be lynched. Cannot save or lynch himself.
Sack of Wine: One use trait. If used the night that a WereYak, or other SoW user targets the player, the user is saved; if the user is not targeted, they can kill a single target during the night. A SoW who survives an attack will be told that he was a target and who targeted him if the attacker used a SoW, and the identity of the WereYak who sent in the pack order if it was a pack attack.

§7. - Alliances and Feuds which aren't based on your characters or roles in the game between players are forbidden. Alliances and Feuds which continue from one game to another undermine the whole idea of the game.

§8a. – The Game Moderator has the last word on all matters.
§8b. – If the Game Moderator makes a mistake (e.g. with the vote count, hunt orders), or if critical information is revealed, the mistake will be kept.

A few notes on gameplay:

PLEASE

1 - READ THE RULES. My rules/move orders/roles/traits are not the same as in previous games. Rules may change slightly (nothing serious, I swear) until game start at which point they will be frozen.

2 - BE POLITE. I will not have my game be the one that got this forum shut down. So if you get angry or want to throw a hissy fit, stand up, walk away from the computer, and go to the gym.

3 - DO NOT SPAM MY INBOX. Unless it contains an order or a question, I don't want to be cc:ed. This is not because I don't like reading your conversations with each other (it actually is quite interesting), but because I want to make sure my inbox is available to take other players' orders and questions.

4 - NOTE THAT THE DEADLINE IS 2000 EST / 0100 BRITISH SUMMER TIME

5 - BEWARE of Crovaxian slips, Mr. G, and the game getting completely YUBAR'd!

6 - A CERTAIN PLAYER, don't even bother trying to sign up.

7 - HAVE FUN. :)

I'll try to sign up anyway.

And the evil wasn't cleansed because the air was never destroyed. ;)
I hate... so much about the things you choose to be.

In, for a Yaktastic game.

I shall be the Giant Squid lashed to the roof of Noah's ark.

Giant Squid Diary said:
Day 1,

I guess the rain stopped. I saw what appeared to be mountains, but then again, my eyesight's not what it used to be after staring at the sun for 40 consecutive days.

Can't find Miles, I think he's stuffed in the cupboards.

Seem to be running out of ink...
 
IN, and does this mean no Jonti-h in this game?
He means oy.

There was an... incident. I can't remember how long ago. But there was an incident.

Sorcerer: Evil. Works with the Yaks, and wins if they win. Can nullify the powers of any player for one night. That player will not receive a response from the GM if a scanner. Sends in one order each night, but cannot target the same player two nights in a row. At game start, the Sorcerer is aware of the names of one pack.

Does that mean the sorc knows all the players of one pack? Or just how that pack is called?
 
What with contact? Do the baddies need to be in contact with eachother for parity?

And why is it not possible to vote for oneself? :eek:
 
In.
