A werewolf is a human with the ability to transform into a wolf. In its human form, a werewolf appears indistinguishable from an ordinary person. When the transformation occurs, the body morphs into a fearsome beast.
This is a game of Werewolf! Although the game is straightforward playing it in the server is quite different. A majority of the event will occur on google docs to preserve the anonmity of the game.
In Big Data, all players wear masks and the act of taking one's mask is enough to remove them from the game. A werewolf attack or being voted off involves the act of removing a player's mask.
This is a long running game of Werewolf which will make up the bulk of the episodes for this event. There will be a lot of downtime in the episode.
Script or short-form roleplay is preferred for the discussion parts.
Rounds are divided into day and night cycles.
You may explore the rest of the event as your OC. Days are unrelated to the episode but bleed over is allowed.
The episode and game only occur during the night cycles. In the night, Werewolves make their attack.
In a regular game of werewolf the DM usually describes the attack before people are left to vote. In this version we're playing, the attack is roleplayed between the chosen-wolf and their chosen-victim. The roleplayers are given about five days to roleplay the scenario before everyone is gathered on Friday night to discuss the events and vote someone off.
General private rooms (in the form of a google doc) will be available for the duration of the episode. Werewolf attacks are not permitted in these rooms.
1x1 Roleplay Werewolf attack between Werewolf and Victim.
Players (participants, villager, werewolf, etc) may roleplay normally amongst each other.
Everyone (werewolf, villager, seer, medic) gathers Thursday/Friday night to discuss the event, nominate a werewolf, and cast their vote.
Werewolves choose their next victim.
Players in the game. Everyone is considered a villager on the surface and must perform the duties of a villager.
Players in the game tasked with killing the other players.
They will convene with the other werewolves to decide who should be their next victim.
Seers (also sometimes called detectives) are anti-werewolf and attempt to find the werewolves among the villagers.
They do this by picking one villager to follow in the night. If they choose the a werewolf, they will be privy to that knowledge as well as the events of the attack.
(You may be tempted to remove a werewolf right away, but in doing so makes it harder to pick out the other werewolves.)
It would be in your best interest to avoid detection as the Seer, as you are the only one who can know the identity of the werewolves before the game is over. Once you are known as the seer, the wolves would likely attempt to remove you from the game.
Players in the game that can save another player.
A medic can choose to save either themselves or another player from a werewolf attack.
Medics can collaborate with Seers once they are able to determine their identity. Medics will know who to protect from the information they have gathered from the werewolves.
Finally, have fun! This is a game is about the thrill of suspense, and for once, lauding your abilities to be deceitful.
There are a lot of mechanics, and anyone intimidated only need to follow my instructions as I send them!
