The Rules
At the beginning of the game each player is given a 'role' at random and in secret by myself, the moderator, via PM. Those roles are Villager (good) and Werewolf (evil).
The villagers will greatly outnumber the werewolves — in a 21 player game for example there will only be 3 werewolves — and the aim of the villagers is to identify and kill all the werewolves before the werewolves can kill enough villagers so that (#of wolves = #of villagers).
How are players killed?
Each 'turn' of the game will last 24hrs or so and also represents one 'day' of gametime, thus a game will go on for several days before it is concluded. There are two 'phases' to every turn of the game;
Night Phase - : When the werewolves secretly decide amongst themselves, via PM communication, which villager (one per night) that they shall slaughter and kill and then each inform the moderator of their vote via PM.
This period will last from 10pm to 11am.
Day Phase - After the slaughter has been announced, everybody, villagers and werewolves alike, discusses and ultimately votes publically in the game-thread upon which player (one per day) that they shall lynch and kill.
This period will last from 11am to 10pm.
Obviously during the day the villagers will want the group to vote for and lynch a werewolf, whilst the werewolves themselves will want not to be lynched; herein lies the fundamental strategy of the game ; can the villagers identify the werewolves whilst at the same time convincing the rest of the group that they're not themselves a werewolf? And can the werewolves convince the group that they're not wolves at all and thus avoid being lynched?
Werewolf Etiquette
There are two main rules which everyone must follow in order for the game to run successfully;
KILLED PLAYERS MUST LEAVE THE GAME
If you are killed at any point during the game then you are no longer allowed to participate although i will tolerate bantering but please do not post anything that could influence peoples decisions.
THERE MUST BE NO PRIVATE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PLAYERS EXCEPT BETWEEN WEREWOLVES
Between non-werewolves, sending PM's or other forms of private communication concerning the game is not allowed.
Anyone found to be breaking the above rules will be banned from the next game, and repeat offences will result in being banned from all future games should there be any; please follow the rules and keep the game legitimate.
Voting
During the Day Phase players must vote for who to lynch, your vote must be formatted in bold like this: Player Name.
Upon the voting deadline (end of day-phase) the votes will be tallied by the moderator and whoever has received the most will be lynched and be out of the game: remember, once killed you cannot take further part.
During Night Phase, werewolves must PM the moderator their vote before the deadline (before the start of the following Day Phase). Again, if they fail to do so, or do not agree and votes are tied, the player slaughtered shall be chosen randomly by the moderator. You have 15 minutes allowance, after which votes will not count.
The Seer must inform the moderator of their day's 'target' via PM, if they fail to do so then they simply miss the opportunity.
The vigilante and chief guardian will also need to PM the moderator their kill, failure to do so will mean they miss their opportunity.
Alpha Wereboncer - The leader of the wereboncers has the ability to find out the role of any person in the game and is also part of the voting group of wereboncers
Wereboncer - A group of wolves who by day appear as normal villagers but at night get together and kill someone. (All wolves can talk privately with each other)
The Flogs - This will be a group of four people who all know eachother, they can talk privately if they wish but cannot contact anyone else.
MobbenSeer - This person has the ability to see any role of any person in the game
The Juggilante - This person takes it upon themselves to kill someone at night regardless of what the town thinks.
The Guardian - This person has the ability to protect anyone from an action during the night (eg a wolf kill, wolf seer, juggilante and mobbenseer) They can only protect a person one night in a row and they can protect themself.
The KillerBeez - This person chooses to kill someone at night only if they are targeted and killed, their last action before death is to kill someone
Cupid - During the first night this peeping tom will select two individuals to give the Lovers role to. In addition, they will also select the Town Mayor (who could be themself).
The Lovers - These two people are in love, if one is killed the other will also die, they need to work together and strategically. The lovers could end up being a wolf and a villager but neither will know eachothers roles until their death, muhahahaha.
Town Mayor - Makes a decision in the case of a tied vote. May have another role.
The Fool - This person is told they are the Seer...but is fed completely wrong information.
Villagers - Just plain ordinary people who have no special skills
BEFORE THE GAME BEGINS - Please hover over your name in the top-right corner, and hit "Privacy". Untick the first option. If you do not do this, you will be at a huge disadvantage.
