cue aux lynch

Also, not joining, possible lack of time in the months to come. But then, I'm not any better.

No worries, Matt. I'm probably in a different timezone than you. You're in.

If we manage 25 people I'll close signups a few hours after it happens.

Oh boy, won't this be fun~~

You understand (hopefully) that this game is CastleVania-themed, not Twilight-themed. (The whole Twilight reference thing inevitably started when I said vampires were part of the equation.)

Signups updated, you're in.

Also, to be clear to all WWG newbies (and anyone else who may not have had any clue): The Narina shenanigans that occurred last night were not in any way part of this WWG or its theme. That is something of an in-joke about the fact that I roleplay a female character by that name in every MMO I play.

QFT.

sounds like strager has some things he's insecure about

Seriously Strager. I admit I'm far from an ordinary person, but I told you in PM, I take criticism and I'm fine with being poked fun at, but I don't go for insults.

I am not pissed; not yet, anyhow. I believe in fair warning, and I am now giving you yours. Do not insult me again. I'm serious.

I don't see how it was insulting, but okay.

We have...22 right now, looks like.

I guess I'll close signups tomorrow at 8 PM EST, assuming we'll get at least another person or two before then (it's about 8:30 PM as I type this, so about 24 hours from the time of this post). Even if we don't, I'm sure everyone's anxious to start. This allows some time for players to be informed of the new deadline and for a couple more people to sign up.

Now if we could manage to get Echo in here, this game would be of the MAXIMUM PWNAGE persuasion.

give me the ninja role

You should probably update the signup deadline on the OP.

Oh I know.

I realised that my time is a 12 hours differences.... also i realised that your dawn(werewolf time) would be at my time night...and your night(wwtime) would be my afternoon...hence I can only post at dawn(wwtime) and be absent for the day(wwtime) as my holidays are over and i need to go to school and cannot stay up too late...i would only post form 8AM to 10AM+(wwtime) so i wll vote in the morning

The WWG day lasts ~5 real life days; WWG nights are ~3 real nights. You'll have plenty of time to participate.

but problem is we can't talk at night and i not the type to team up and go against someone...

You do know you can post, go to sleep, then see the replies the next day, right? If you need to "team up", use the osu mail.

WWG Night is a specific period of about 72 hours. It does not depend on time zones, etc.
WWG Day is a specific period of about 120 hours. It does not depend on time zones, etc.

Real time night is a specific period of about 8 hours. It does depend on time zones, etc.
Real time day is a specific period of about 16 hours. It does depend on time zones, etc.

Please learn to distinguish the two. You will be able to play the game from anywhere in the world (except Cananda).

oh....thanks

I'll join.

Condescending join

For the record, with 25 players, protracted phase durations will be as follows:

Day Phases: 6 days long.
Night Phases: 4 days long.

As always, these will get shorter as more players die (and thus not as much time will be needed for discussion).

I have not made up my mind on the exact setup (and of course, in the end, I can't tell you what I'm ACTUALLY going to use), but here's what I'm thinking:

7 or 8 Vampires, definitely with a Head Vampire.

All Aux Roles are protracted to be used, possibly with one or more multiples (although I may change my mind on anything).

Again, NONE OF THIS is set in stone, and is a general "I think this is maybe what I'm using" thing. And I'll say it again: I am NOT TELLING what I actually do end up using in the end.

pls shorten day/night durations

people will lose interest fast

yes please, we usually don't really need that much time anyway

At maximum, to keep interest (since in WWG there's no automatic lynch...)

Day: 4 days

Night: 2 days (Maybe 3, if there's a lot of Auxes. Maybe end it if all aux commands are in.)


....but, it's still up to the host.

I am flexible, and also don't want this game to take forever either, so hearing this from several people who play WWGs often makes me more comfortable with the idea.

So days will be 4 days, and nights should be 2 days?

Anyone disagree with that?

If I find no dissenters, that shall be the timeline.

5/2? =[

4/2 works I guess...

^ 2 posts above me is a protractor.

I get the reference, real funny. ;p

Also, signups close in an hour and a half. Any last-minute /ins?

Nope. Role PMs go.

Right you are, it would seem.

Signups are over now, I shall now do role determination.

CROSS YOUR FINGERS PEOPLE :3

I shall do no crossing of any kind.

Except maybe double-crossing.

FFFFFUUUUU-
Should have come earlier! D:<

Send the PMs.

Ace is still choosing which roles will be played. Give it a while.

I will send them when your roles are determined. I still do this crap the old-fashioned way.

Now: Names in hats, will be drawing momentarily.
Next: PM Preparation.
Then: Send PMs.

fffff again

Ugh. This crap takes forever.

Role PMs are typed, and will be going out over the next 20-30 minutes or so.

It's been 45. ;_;

An hour. =[[[

At first I was pumped about this but now I'm like...

GOT IT CONFIRMING IN THREAD I'M SO EVIL HAHAHAHA.

Alright bitches. All Role IDs are sent.

If for whatever strange reason you didn't get yours, let me know immediately so I can re-send it.

Role Confirmation Phase

During This Phase: I receive Role ID confirmations (Iknorite?!)

Deadline: Whenever they're all in. That's when we start the game.

Broken tags ftw?
Anyway, role confirmed.

I'm completely thrilled...Really I am

Confirmed

You're supposed to confirm by sending me a PM reply (which strager did, despite the fact that he also said something in-thread).

Accepting it regardless (as I don't think I specifically said the reply also had to be a PM :/).

Posting now so bitches don't try to use inactivity as grounds for suspicion again. :v

Okay people, as has been tradition for a while now, I will now prevent breakage of rule 3-1 by posting

Role ID Templates

As always, I must provide all the role ID templates, even for roles I am not actually using, and the only ID sent to multiple recipients was the Vampire ID; all others were sent individually, including Civvie IDs. Anyway, here we go! :3

Vampire ID wrote:

Werewolf Game 5 Role Identification for [Usernames]

You are the Vampires.

[The list was reiterated here in a more organized manner.]

This means there are [number] of you in total, with the Vampire Count having a magical ability to determine one Human's role each night.

Your spokes-vamp does not have to be your Count, if you don't want, but it might be more convenient, as the Count will have to PM me each Night to tell me if he's using his ability anyway.

Your Obligations
You're the Vampires, so obviously, it's your duty to avoid lynch votes by any means necessary.

During the Day, act as normal as possible, making sure you cast your lynch vote (trust me, I've had people who have forgotten to cast their vote because they've been Wolves).

Restrictions and Limitations
You get one kill per Night. Please discuss it first.

Remember that the first PM I get from a Vamp with a Human name on it, that is the kill for the Night. No second-guessing each other. I'm serious.

Notes
Nothing to note, really.

To confirm your place in this game, you must reply to this PM. You do not need to refer to your role by name in your reply.

Seer ID wrote:

Werewolf Game 5 Role Identification for [Username]

You are the Seer.
(This means you are Human.)

Your Obligations
During the Day, you must cast your lynch vote.

Each Night, you must PM me telling me whether or not you're exercising your ability (to know how many Vampires are left).

If so, I will tell you how many Vampires there are.

If not, or if you fail to PM me by the Nightly deadline, I will assume you are not using your ability that Night.

Restrictions and Limitations
After a few uses, the Vampires will start catching on that someone is sensing their presence.

Overuse of your ability will see to it that they discover who you are.

Notes
Nothing to note, really.

To confirm your place in this game, you must reply to this PM. You do not need to refer to your role by name in your reply.

Psychic ID wrote:

Werewolf Game 5 Role Identification for [Username]

You are the Psychic.
(This means you are Human.)

Your Obligations
During the Day, you must cast your lynch vote.

Each Night, you must PM me telling me whether or not you're exercising your ability, which is to discern the role identity of any one other player of your choice.

If so, give me a name, and I will provide you with their ID.

If not, or if you fail to PM me by the Nightly deadline, I will assume you are not using your ability that Night.

Restrictions and Limitations
I've decided not to restrict the Psychic this game. (Nobody was informed of this yet, but they'll know when the template for this ID goes up.)

Notes
Nothing to note, really.

To confirm your place in this game, you must reply to this PM. You do not need to refer to your role by name in your reply.

Insomniac ID wrote:

Werewolf Game 5 Role Identification for [Username]

You are the Insomniac.
(This means you are Human.)

Your Obligations
During the Day, you must cast your lynch vote.

Each Night, you must PM me telling me whether or not you were able to sleep.

If you tell me you were unable to sleep, I'll provide you with the name of one of the Vampires.

If you tell me you were able to sleep, or if you fail to PM me by the Nightly deadline, I will assume you are not using your ability that Night.

Restrictions and Limitations
Being awake at Night has its advantages and disadvantages. You'll definitely discover the identity of a Vampire, and may even spot others acting the same Night(s) you're up.

However, it won't take long before the Vampires start spotting YOU, too. Be careful!!

Notes

To confirm your place in this game, you must reply to this PM. You do not need to refer to your role by name in your reply.

Coroner ID wrote:

Werewolf Game 5 Role Identification for [Username]

You are the Coroner.
(This means you are Human.)

Your Obligations
During the Day, you must cast your lynch vote.

You have no Nightly obligations to me; rather, in your case, it is I who am obligated to you. Each Night, I will tell you the role of the person who was lynched at Sundown.

As soon as I learn the name of the person the Vampires have chosen to nightkill, I will send you a second PM with the role of the person they chose.

Restrictions and Limitations
Your role doesn't come with any.

Notes
Nothing to note, really.

To confirm your place in this game, you must reply to this PM. You do not need to refer to your role by name in your reply.

Vigilante ID wrote:

Werewolf Game 5 Role Identification for [Username]

You are the Vigilante.
(This means you are Human.)

Your Obligations
During the Day, you must cast your lynch vote.

Also, during any Day phase, you are able to declare your role publicly, and shoot and kill any one person of your choice using your gun, which comes with a single silver bullet (this must be done in the thread for all to see; I cannot accept shot declarations through the IRC channel or by any other means). That person is dead immediately upon my in-thread confirmation of your declaration.

You have no Nightly obligations.

Restrictions and Limitations
You've only got one bullet, so think hard; be sure you've made the right choice before shooting.

Notes
Nothing to note, really.

To confirm your place in this game, you must reply to this PM. You do not need to refer to your role by name in your reply.

Guardian Angel ID wrote:

Werewolf Game 5 Role Identification for [Username]

You are the Guardian Angel.
(This means you are Human.)

Your Obligations
During the Day, you must cast your lynch vote.

Each Night, you must PM me telling me whether you're protecting anyone tonight.

If so, give me the name, and I will see to it that that person does not see harm.

If not, or if you fail to PM me by the Nightly deadline, I will assume you are not using your ability that Night.

Restrictions and Limitations
You can protect yourself, if you like.

You cannot protect yourself if you happen to be the last Human remaining at the end of the game. The remaining Vampires will team up on you and kill you.

You cannot protect the same person more than one Night in a row unless the Vampires chose the same target you did (a successful protect). Then you may protect them again the next Night.

Notes
Nothing to note, really.

To confirm your place in this game, you must reply to this PM. You do not need to refer to your role by name in your reply.

Priest ID wrote:

Werewolf Game Role Identification for [Username]

You are the Priest.
(This means you are Human.)

Your Obligations
During the Day, you must cast your lynch vote.

You have no Nightly obligations to me.

Anytime during any Day or Night phase, you may choose to resurrect one person of your choice.

If you choose to do it during the daytime, it is your choice whether to do it publicly or privately; publicly declaring your role in-thread for a public resurrection will prove your humanity.

If you choose to resurrect someone at night, your only option is privately. PM me the name and I'll let them know they've been resurrected and are back in.

Restrictions and Limitations
You can only resurrect ONE person ONE time. Think hard and be sure before doing it!

Notes

Ninja ID wrote:

Werewolf Game 5 Role Identification for [Username]

You are the Ninja.
(This means you are Human.)

Your Obligations
During the Day, you must cast your lynch vote.

Each Night, you must PM me telling me if you're doing any stealthy assassinating tonight.

If so, give me the name. They will be killed (unless the Vamps already got to them that same Night - in which case, you screwed up :p)

If not, or if you fail to PM me before the Nightly deadline, I will assume you are not killing anyone tonight.

Restrictions and Limitations
You can exercise your ability on as many Nights as you like, but if you start wiping out the Humans FOR the Vamps, you'll earn the Humans' contempt (and the Vamps' thanks and admiration).

Because you may unknowingly kill a Human, you will want to be absolutely sure before deciding to assassinate anyone.

Notes
Nothing to note, really.

Mad Scientist ID wrote:

Werewolf Game Role Identification for [Username]

You are the Mad Scientist.
(This means you are Human.)

Your Obligations
During the Day, you must cast your lynch vote.

Each Night, you must PM me telling me if you're injecting anyone with your DNA enhancement compound.

If so, give me their name, and they will receive a new Role ID that Night.

Restrictions and Limitations
You have [number] vials of your compound.

Major things to note are as follows:

* The compound may give them another role on top of any aux they may have already had, or it may change their role.
* There is a low, but still very real, possibility that the compound may transform a Human into a Vampire. (Be careful!!)
* If used unknowingly on a Vampire, it will cause them to develop an Auxiliary Role.
* Possibilities for Humans include: Seer, Psychic, Insomniac, Coroner, Guardian Angel, Priest, Ninja.
* Possibilities for Vampires include: Psychic, Coroner, Priest. (Note to MS and anyone viewing the template: for reasons why Vamps are exempt from other rolegains, just ask, although I think it's pretty obvious in each case).

You have no Nightly obligations to me.

However, if you are killed, the village will find out the next day in the newspaper, and that day's lynching will be cancelled.

Civilian ID wrote:

Werewolf Game 5 Role Identification for [Username]

You are a Civilian.
(This means you are human, but it also means you do not possess an Aux Role. Sorry; maybe next time. Even being a Civilian is important though - your lynch vote is as important as anyone else's.)

Your Obligations
During the Day, you must cast your lynch vote.

You have no obligations during Night phases; just wait them out.

Restrictions and Limitations
Your role does not come with any restrictions or penalties.

To confirm your place in this game, you must reply to this PM. You do not need to refer to your role by name in your reply.

Yeah!!! i am confirmed!!!!!!

Yup, that's what a green name means.

And if you die, you get to be red with strikeout. :3

I'm guessing soon the list will look like a christmas tree.

Confirmed.

So I forgot to mention this.

I will have low activity 27 Jun ~ 5 Jul. That's like ... one and a half WWG days. =S

Never gonna let you down.

Never gonna run around and desert me (hopefully). :3

Sorry!
I suppose I should get on osu! during the weekends now due to this =P
Anyways, confirmed~

That's everyone.

Day 1 post will be up simultaneously along with updating the Status post.

Please wait momentarily.

The Werewolf Game, Season 5: The Vampire Experiment

Dawn

The 25 woke up and made their way out to the town square, anxious to see what was going to happen this time.

There was a plasma TV mounted to the clock tower; it looked extremely out-of-place in the otherwise drabby-looking town.

As usual, the screen lit up by itself, and who should appear but Dracula himself; he'd apparently decided to be a co-proctor. "Good evening, citizens, and welcome to the fine town of Transylvania. Let's not mince words, and cut to the chase."

He explained, "Some number of you, whose number and names I shall not disclose, were injected with arctic vampire DNA while you were sleeping last night. These are not your usual kind which feast on blood alone and turn others into vampires as well; instead, those of you infected will have a craving for both flesh and blood."

Continuing, he said, "Of course, the entertainment I shall derive from observing your village will come from those of you who are still Human, but possess abilities which you either brought with you or were bestowed upon you by your proximity to my own CastleVania. I will watch as surely several of you will claim, either truthfully or in falsehood, to possess such abilities, and begin placing an eye of suspicion on those around you as you discuss the possibilities."

Moreover, he said, "Each day, you shall all place a vote against another villager whom you believe to be one of the Vampires. At sundown, whomever has the most votes against them shall be hanged in the gallows. This will continue taking place until I give confirmation that all the vampires have died, which will occur the morning after you kill the last one. It will be a long and arduous process, and several of the humans will die in the process, but with determination, perhaps you will win. 'Weeping will remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.' Psalm 30:5, I believe. I suppose that's all it is necessary to say. May the more intelligent team win."

With that, Dracula's image disappeared from the screen, and it went blank.

Day 1

During This Phase: Public discussion and lynch voting.

Deadline For This Phase: 8:00 PM EST on Thursday, July 1st. This allows a bit less than 4 days for discussion.

*Tatsuo looks up at the plasma screen*
... Well then...
Anyone up for some nachos?

I could go for some nachos dipped in cheese.

Let's go get some nachos then blackthorne

Just some reminders:

1) Don't forget we have an IRC chat channel; I suggest everyone who can to use it, as sometimes pertinent/suspicious information is shared there that may not necessarily be repeated in the thread. Here's the link again: irc://irc.3-wave.com/#wwg

2) Remember, it may be Day 1, and it may be difficult to place suspicion this early in the game, but it is still necessary to lynch someone, so you must still place a lynch vote.

And so we have our first (extremely random) vote.

Vote:DeathxShingami for randomly voting without an apparent cause.
*This is gonna go on for a while .-.*

Damn I wanted to make that first random vote but oh well, fuck time zones.

Won't RV for now.

/unvoting

Although I have an idea now...

This's gonna be a really interesting game.

I'm glad I've made the changes to the way the Status post is organized that I did.

Vote: stra-
Holy fuck Oyster, your sig's still massive and eye hurting.
Vote: Oyahshio Beantracks

Vote DJ KRZY

For hating time zones.

you people realize that you can only unvote once without being penalized right

Two: Read the Notifications in the Status post. I killed the Suspicion Counter. Therefore, there is no Suspicion Point penalty for multiple votechanges (because Suspicion Points don't exist this game). :p

why are you preventing me from making them stop

Vote: Two for trying to ruin others' fun.

Bitch, what the hell do you think you're doing?

Unvote. Vote Derekku for being a supportergot.

Suspicion Counter or no (and pain in my ass or no), they're still allowed to change their votes all they like.

Although if I start seeing 4, 5, 6 votechanges by the same person within 24-48 hours, I may have to start booting some head.
