Present Day
0900

A black van, shiny and new drove up to the White House entry point. The driver flashed an identification card and was let through without notice. In the back of the car sat a middle aged man in a tightly pressed, decorated army uniform. The man rested his chin in his right hand, deep in thought. The van rolled into the designated parking space and braked. The driver stayed in the car while the uniformed man exited and stood tall, composing himself. He threw his neck from side to side with a notable "pop" noise and began walking towards the entrance. He approached the two soldiers guarding the entrance with their M-4 Carbines. They snapped to attention and saluted. The uniformed man dismissed their gestures with a wave and walked on through without saying a word. As he passed the two guards, he made eye contact with the one on the left who simply nodded subtlety, but otherwise standing at attention. The uniformed man continued his walk down hallways filled with various officials, employees and workers bustling about their daily business. A man pushing a mail cart rather fast tried to swerve around the uniformed man but ran straight into him knocking him down. As the frightened young mailroom worker desperately began to apologize and fret, he reached down to help the uniformed man up. The uniformed man met his hand with his own and stood back up. As the two hands separated, the worker now had an envelope in his hand, one that he quickly slipped into his cart in one fluid motion before moving on. The uniformed man continued down the hallway and after several turns arrived at a doorway where a single woman stood. She had a clean blue uniform of White House staff on and a beaming smile.

"This is your room sir" she brightly spoke, "if you need anything at all before you meeting, just let the room service know. You can contact them via the blue phone on the desk."

The uniform man nodded silently and walked into the room. He looked out the eyehole to verify the women had walked away before, then walked over to the blue phone and picked it up. There was no numbers or dial, it auto connected to the room staff.

"I'd like room service please" the uniformed man spoke in a gruff voice, "yes, I'm in the Lincoln room"

Within minutes a man knocked and entered the room, he wore a similar blue uniform as the women before did.

"How many I help you sir?" he inquired.

"What do you have cooking right now?" asked the uniformed man.

"Well," replied the cheery man, "we have a fully staffed force in today that can meet all you needs. Most of them working a special dish that will be ready tomorrow evening for the Presidential dinner of which I assume you will be attending. This must be a pretty high profile dinner, I've seen guards stationed everywhere. I wonder if they are expecting anything."

The uniformed man smiled, "I'm sure they are worried over nothing. Thank you very much, I think I'll pass on the food though."

"Very well sir!" replied the man as he departed.

The uniformed man's smile dropped. He walked over to the restroom and shut the door. He rested both hands on the sink and stared at the mirror. He reached up and felt his face. The scars were beginning to show. He reached up with his figure and traced a large 'X' shaped scar along his face. It was barely visible, only obvious if you knew it was there, but it still concerned the man. He need everything to go smoothly. He did not have time to spare. By now his followers disguised as U.S. soldiers would be positioning themselves in strategically to deter curious folks from getting in the way. The letter he had delivered earlier would be reaching the kitchen where a special chef would be adding some special flavor, a tranquilizer flavor, to the President's meal. The uniformed man smiled.

"I'm looking forward to our after-dinner meeting Mr. President" he spoke to his reflection.

His plan was close to completion. All he needed to do take over the president's body which would soon be asleep and well-guarded by the uniformed man's own men.

"24 hours.....Mr. President...."

* * * * *​
The uniformed man shot up, suddenly awake. What time was it? Early, around 5:00 AM. What woke him up? A large boom of some sort, an explosion? He could hear people shouting and footsteps outside his door, people running in the hallway. Someone threw the door open, a soldier, not one the uniformed man recognized, not good.

"Sir, there's been a terrorist attack on the White House, a car bomb just took out the front gate, I need to get you to a safety area!"

"I'm quite fine on my own." replied the uniformed man.

"Sorry Sir," started the solider, "I got orders, you need to come with me, they've evacuated all higher personnel."

The uniformed man finished putting his clothes on and begrudgingly followed the solider. This was not part of the plan. Something had gone wrong, someone else had attacked the White House. This was not good at all. He didn't have time for this. He could feel the scars on his face rising up. His body was rejecting him, and the stress of the situation was not helping. The soldier led the way. After a few minutes of walking, the soldier turned to say something. His mouth opened, but no words came out. His color paled.

"Who are you?" He demanded, weapon raised.

The uniformed man felt his face and clearly felt the 'X' shaped scare on his face. Time was up. Change of plans. He cocked his fist back and punched the soldier in the face, breaking his neck. A women screamed, drat. Some else, a man yelled "Terrorist, a terrorist is here!" Others looked, many had weapons, others came around the hallway, they closed in on the uniformed man.

"Freeze! Don't move or I blow your brains out!" yelled one of the armed soldiers.

The uniformed man looked around. None of these men were his. Not good, his plan was destroyed. He'd had to fight his way out, try and find another way. This wasn't good. Gunfire. The soldier screaming at him and his comrades were dead. So where all the civilians in the hallway. More soldiers ran in, this time ones the uniformed man recognized

"Report." He asked the leader

"An unexpected variable, another...less subtle attack by an as of yet unknown person" replied the armed man, "how shall we proceed?"

The uniformed man paused for a moment, his face crisscrossed with a red 'X' shaped scar. "Call in the others, we'll storm this place till we find the President and do this the hard way."

A second soldier piped up, "Sir, the entire building has been locked down, there's no way anyone can get in or out. It's just us, and a handful of them. We're low on ammo, but they must be also. There was some heavy fighting earlier. They started checking IDs and ours were no good. We had to kill a lot of witnesses. Us fighting signaled our boys on the outside who engaged anyone trying to enter the White House. It turned into a bloody fight."

The uniformed man thought about this for a moment. "This could work to our advantage. Take me to where bulk of the people are taking refuge. This place is on lockdown from the inside. Our forces outside will keep reinforcements from entering. We just need to lie low and stay undetected long enough to overpower the remaining forces still left inside the building. Once we've done that, we can march down the Presidential bunker and ask them to come on out. It's as simple as that."

The soldiers formed a protective ring around the uniformed man and walked him toward the main ballroom that had been broadcasted as a safe-room. The uniformed man smiled again and the scars began to recede back into his skin. Plan X had only just begun....

Basic Rules
1.) Object of the Game

9.) Common Roles
- These will be listed in their most basic type. Any Moderator may make modifications to said roles if they wish. This just gives the basis for what the roles do. Roles may have modifications such as Sanity (Insane Seer, who reads Town as Wolf and Vice Versa), X-Shot (3-Shot Vigilante, who may kill thrice), or Wolf (ability for the Wolf Faction, rather than town).

-Townie (Vanilla Townie, Civilian). No Night Role, must use logic to find the wolves by what they say during the Day.

-Neighbor (Acquaintance). No Night Role. May speak, at times defined by the Moderator, with another specified member of the village outside the game thread. No defined Role Alignment pairing.
-Priest (Doctor, Angel). Night Role. May try to save one member of the village from Death during the Night. Whether this saves them from all attacks or just one is up to the moderator.
-Seer (Cop). Night Role. May investigate one member of the village to learn their alignment.
-Detective (Role Cop). Night Role. May investigate one member of the village to learn their Role Card/Abilities.
-Tracker. Night Role. May follow one member of the village to see what they do.
-Watcher. Night Role. May follow one member of the village to see who they target.
-Vigilante. Night Role. May kill one member of the village.

Going to say this ahead time (no offenders yet):

There should be NO pre-game talk. Posts should be restricted to

a.) Some variation of "sign me up, I want to play, etc etc
b.) Questions regarding the rules, specifics of the game (so long as not related to the Story as posted thus far)

Thank you
 
Due to my doctor appointment being in late June, I'll sub, and request not to be used until July. Otherwise, I won't be able to play properly.

(also minor formatting nitpick in Rule 6)
 
I, Zackary Dean Ayello on the First of June, 2013 hereby approve Pokegym Werewolf XIX by Absoltrainer for play, as my duty on the Gym Balance Committee requires.

Additionally, I certify:

1 This game contains no unfair roles
2 All players have an equal chance at fulfilling their win condition
3 There is no bias towards any one side's win con by the moderation rules
4 All roles have been pre-randomized sufficiently
