DOOM OF THE WEREYAK 7: THEY WILL NEVER KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS, 1984
Irish rock musician Bob Geldof, hoping to raise funds to alleviate the horrific famine in Ethiopia has brought together many of the world's most famous musicians to sing his new ballad, “Do They Know It's Christmas?” and attempt to change the world through song.
The utopian Hibernian has unwittingly written his own demise, for the UNYIELDING WEREYAK have secretly orchestrated the Abyssinian apocalypse and have little interest in the healing power of music. Their only objective is the overthrow of the pathetic realm of Man, and his abject subjugation to the deathless reign of the MALEVOLENT WEREYAK!
Geldof has gathered musicians from around the world to London to form the Supergroup that he has dubbed “Band Aid.” Unknown to the former member of The Boomtown Rats, some of the world's most beloved celebrities have been subverted by the bloody-handed Lamaists of grim Thibet, and others have been spirited away to cryptic monasteries and replaced by SHAPE-SHIFTING WEREYAKS!
Can the celebrities uncover the HIDEOUS, SOUL-WRENCHING MADNESS WITHIN THEIR RANKS? Will the THANOTIC SORCERIES subvert Geldof's vision? WILL THEY KNOW THAT IT'S CHRISTMAS?
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 the villagers 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.
§2c(i). – There may or may not be toleration on the GM's part about this. Just vote people, it only takes 45 seconds to log in and LSST.

§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 (1900 EST / 2400 UTC}
§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.

§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. Trickster
4. Shot of Whiskey
5. WereYak - If multiple attack orders are sent from the same pack, the last order submitted is the one that counts.
6. Clairvoyant
7. Cultist
8. Priest
9. Seer
§6 – All players will be given one of the following roles:
ROLES
Celebrity (Villager): Good. Has no special abilities.
WereYak: Evil. Belongs to a pack. Wins if only the numbers of their pack and its cultist and sorcerer allies equal or exceed the remainder of all other players. 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.
Seer: 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.
Cultist: Evil. Works with the Yaks, and wins if they win. Can in a scan order at night to determine a player's special role and any traits, but has only TWO SCANS. If all Yaks in a pack die, the cultist will not change affiliation or status. At game start, the Cultist is aware of the name of one WereYak and any other cultists allied with them.
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.
Priest: Good. Able to scan players and detect cultists, seers, and sorcerers. Sends in one scan order each night.
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 picture of their musician or they die. If the player is a WereYak, the doctor will be informed of this after saving them. The doctor can only save the same player every third day.
Camp Trickster (Changeling): Good. Will send in an order every night consisting of two names-a target and a patsy. If ANY EFFECT takes place on the target, it will be re-directed to the patsy. Changelings cannot target themselves, and cannot use the same target twice in a game.
§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).
Consumptive: 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.
Gunga-Din: If lynched, renders all night actions void for that day.
Gambler (Lucky): A Gambler will survive a WereYak attack, but only once, as he is unwilling to leave the dice game. Will be revealed as a "no kill during the night". The Gambler will be aware he is lucky, and will not know WHEN he was attacked
Leader: 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.
Shot of Whiskey: One use trait. If used the night that a killer 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.
§6b. – All players will be assigned a CELEBRITY role from one of the members of Band Aid as listed in:
§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.
