Whoooo
2/3 Parts completed. 2 was the largest, hardest, and most complex. 3rd part should go much quicker.

Sorry guys, I have been working on it. It's a long process and this particular event was one I had planned since the beginning of the game, so bear with me.
I also had an emergancy project crop up with my ROTC unit, everyone's parent's came in in somehow it became my job to make a Parent's Weekend Slideshow in less then 24 hours.
Anyways, that aside, I want to say I'll finish tonight. The bulk of what I'm doing it done, and I'm down to the last few pages or so.
I'll end with what I said before.
It will be worth it.

Dragonclyne725: 5 Sandslash7, Scottistru, Cardzmaster2004, PokeChampofPokeBeach, JewelQuest
The remaining inhabitants of the Imperial Glory were scattered about the Hanger, the only remaining area of the ship not destroyed or compromised. It had been almost two weeks since the nightmare had started and the Rebels had battled it out with the Empire and the Sith in a fight for survival. As Day 12 neared it’s end, Sandslash7 piled on the evidence against Dragonclyne725 cementing his case against the accused. Dragonclyne725 had been accused of being the last remaining Imperial and of stealing the identity of Diaz who had been one of the first people to die on the Imperial Glory Unable to produce a good counter against Sandslash7, Dragonclyne725’s fate was sealed as the day cycle ended. Sandslash7 stood in front of Dragonclyne725 who sat on the ground, his back against some metal debris.
“You are the last Imperial. You murdered Diaz and stole his identity. The oppression of the Empire ends today!” commanded Sandslash7
The accused man, a normal sized human, rose and began to slowly clap. He addressed Sandslash7.
“I’m impressed assassin. I did not expect you to figure out who I was. Indeed, I am the final Imperial. I needed but one more night to achieve victory. It appears however that due to your meddling, I will have to accelerate my plans.”
Sandslash7 closed his hand into a fist, a cracking noise coming from his popping joints, “The only thing you are going to do, if accelerate to an early grave.”
Dragonclyne725 smirked, “Oh I don’t think so, assassin.”
The Imperial pulled out two round object from his pocket. Thermal detonators, extremely powerful grenades capable of massive destruction. Dragonclyne725 backed up until he was a few feet away from the Imperial Lambda Shuttle, the only functional ship and way off the Imperial Glory .
“Here’s what’s going to happen,” demanded Dragonclyne725, grenades still in his hand. “I want safe passage off this doomed ship as much as all of you do. You take me with you, you drop me off on a planet of my choosing. Refuse and I detonate these grenades. I’ll die, but I’ll take out your only escape with me. The orbit of the Imperial Glory is slowly decaying. Before too long, the ship will begin to descend to the planet below. None of you will survive that. If any of you try to make a move while I am on the shuttle, I will blow us up in midflight. If I’m going down, I will gladly take all of you Rebel scum with me. If however, you do as I say, we can all leave here unharmed.”
Sandslash7 stood still. He was too far away to attempt an attack on Dragonclyne725 and in no position to make demands.
“I--” he started.
He was interrupted before he could finish as a red and blue blur sped between him and Dragonclyne725. The blur stopped and became clear. The Deoxys, thunderjolt stood before them, in his hands were the two grenades that only moments before were in the possession of the Imperial.
“No deal, “spoke thunderjolt
Dragonclyne725 growled and turned to run, but instead came face to face with two loaded pistols. Scottistru and King Piplup stood before him, weapons aimed at his head. Behind him, he heard the crackling of electricity as JewelQuest, the Jolteon, flanked him from the rear. Finally an old man, with a long grey beard, and wearing a brown robe, come up on the Imperial’s right. In his hand was an ignited blue Lightsaber.
The elder man, Cardzmaster2004 addressed the Imperial Dragonclyne725, “I believe it is you, who would be wise to cooperate with us.”
Dragonclyne725 looked around him, surrounded on all fronts, for a way to escape. He saw PokeChampofPokeBeach standing a ways away and called for him. “Wobba Fett, I shall hire you to assist me. I will pay quadruple your normal fee!”
Wobba Fett considered the request, but turned it down, “Sorry, I think I’ll just watch and enjoy the show tonight.”
Sandslash7 now approached the cornered Imperial, a thin blade sliding down from a hidden sheath on his wrist. “The oppression of the Empire ends today.”
Dragonclyne727’s eyes narrowed, and his voice became rasp and dark, “Humans, you know not what you are dealing with. There are forces beyond your comprehension at work.”
The Imperial’s eyes glowed blue and he shouted out “Psychic!”
The people and Pokémon surrounding him were flung backwards by the telekinetic attack. All were surprised and thinking the same thing that Scottistru expressed aloud, “How did he do that? That’s a Pokémon move!”
Dragonclyne725 did not answer, but instead ran to a seemingly indistinct wall. He slammed his fist on the wall, and turned to face his surprised enemies who were just now recovering from his surprise attack. The wall began to shift, and panels moved out of the way exposing robotic arms and machine parts. The contraption began to move, quickly grafting parts to the Imperial’s body. Within moments, Dragonclyne725 was covered in multi-colored square plates of armor ranging from a fiery red, to a watery blue, a grassy green and every color in between. The individual plates morphed and folded around the Imperial, molding to fit his body and creating a body suit of colored armored plates.
Dragonclyne725 spoke, his voice still raspy and low “Humans, your Rebel Alliance has failed. As too have my servants. I will deal with you personally.” He looked at JewelQuest and thunderjolt “And you two. You have betrayed your origins, and thrown yourself in with these sub-creatures. You will die slowly and painfully for your betrayal!”
King Piplup shouted at Dragonclyne725, “ What are you talking about. YOU are a human, you’re crazy!”
“You dare to call me such filth! I am a god! I am eternal. BURN!” cried out Dragonclyne725. The red plate on his chest glowed bright and fire spewed out of both of the palms of his hands.
The flamethrower attack sped towards King Piplup. Sandslash7 tackled King Piplup knocking him out of the way of the attack. Dragonclyne725 roared in anger. The red plated dimmed and a pink plate on his thigh began to glow. Dragonclyne’s eyes glowed blue and Sandslash7 and King Piplup were raised off the ground. Scottistru raised his pistol and opened fire on Dragonclyne725. The pink plate ceased to glow and a silver plate glowed on his right arm. Dragonclyne725 was encased in a steel covering. The bullets from Scottistru’s weapon bounced off the full body shield. JewelQuest screeched a battle cry and a large yellow bolt of lighting shot from her body. The silver plate stopped glowing and the steel covering faded, simultaneously to be replaced by full rock covering as a brown plate started glowing on Dragonclyne725’s stomach. The electric attack had no effect. thunderjolt’s eyes glowed blue as he assaulted Dragonclyne725 with a psychic attack. The attack however had no effect due to the black plate glowing on Dragonclyne725’s left arm and coating him an a dark aura. Sandslash7 charged Dragonclyne, blades in each of his hands. The black plates stopped glowing and was replaced by a glowing pale red-orange plate. Dragonclyne725’s entire body bulked up with huge muscles. As Sandslash7 reached him, Dragonclyne725 reached out and grabbed both blades and squeezed, shattering them with sheer strength. He then picked up and threw Sandslash7 who soared across the hanger until he hit the wall, hard. He was shaking as he tried to stand up again.
Dragonclyne725 spoke, still in the raspy low voice, “You cannot hope to stand against me. Your efforts are futile, your attempts in vain. You are nothing. The human race will fall by my hand!”
A yellow plate glowed on his leg. Electricity sparked over his body, and Dragonclyne725 turned to Cardzaster2004 and launched a thunderbolt at him. Cardzmaster2004 jumped out of the way, avoiding the attack. He jumped at Dragonclyne725 and swung with his Lightsaber. A purple-grey plate glowed, and Dragonclyne725’s body became intangible. The blade passed right through him, not doing any damaged. Dragonclyne725 moved forward, phasing directly through Cardzmaster2004.
Still intangible, he addressed PokeChampofPokeBeach who was clad in green and blue armor, with a jetpack on his back, “Wobba Fett, you have renounced your Pokémon origins. I gave you a chance at redemption, but you refused. For that, you must die!”
Dragonclyne725 rematerialized in solid form as the purple-grey plate stopped glowing. A maroon plate glowed, and claws protruded from Dragonclyne725’s hands. He charged Wobba Fett with incredible Dragon like speed and sliced with razor sharp claws. He missed. PokeChampofPokeBeach jumped and ignited his jetpack, boosting up several more feet before hovering in the air. Dragonclyne725’s plates switched colors again and now a light blue plate glowed. Dragonclyne725 rose into the air and rammed Wobba Fett. PokeChampofPokeBeach faltered, but did not fall. He raised his rifled and shot. The light blue plate abruptly stopped glowing and Dragonclyne725 fell to the ground, dodging the initial laser barrage. Wobba Fett took aim again, but a pale blue plate began to glow, and Dragonclyne725 was crystallized in ice. The laser blast diffused and diffracted in to the crystals and had no effect. The pale blue plate stopped glowing and Dragonclyne725 taunted his enemy’s unsuccessful attempts to attack him, his voice still raspy and low.
“You have failed. You cannot hope to beat me humans. I am perfection. I am the end of evolution, the apex of creation!”
“You’re mad!” countered Scottistru
Scottistru loaded another magazine into him pistol and fired again. The silver plate glowed, and the bullets bounced off Dragonclyne725. Following his lead, the Jolteon, JewelQuest let off a stream of electricity at Dragonclyne725. A brown plated glowed, and scattered parts of his already covered in steel body become rock. Dragonclyne725 grunted in pain and dropped to one knee. Jolteon and Scottistru continued to attack, but despite his visual pain, appeared to be doing no damage to Dragonclyne725.
“ENOUGH!” screamed Dragonclyne725. Both the silver and brown plates stopped glowing, and the pink plate glowed again, as did Dragonclyne725’s eyes. He telekinetically blasted JewelQuest and Scottistru and threw them off their feet. The damage was done however, and the silver plate had a crack running down it’s center.
Sandslash7 called out, “He can only use one plate at a time, everyone attack him at once. Overwhelm him!”
Sandslash7 pulled a sword from his hilt and charged Dragonclyne725. Cardzmaster2004 joined him with his blue Lightsaber blade. PokeChampofPokeBeach raised his rifle and opened fire. Scottistru and King Piplup raised their pistols and shot. JewelQuest unleashed one electrical attack after another, and thunderjolt’s eyes glowed blue as he subjugated Dragonclyne725 to a powerful psychic attack. Almost every plate on Dragonclyne725 began to glow as he was coated in rock and steal, surrounded in dark aura, partly intangible, partly crystallized in ice. His limbs were disproportionately muscular, and fire and water spewed from his hands. Under the strain of trying to counter the simultaneous attacks, the plates started to flicker in their glowing.
Dragonclyne725 screamed in anger and pain, staggering backwards and trying as hard as he could to withstand the onslaught. Bullets pinged his body. The Lightsaber and sword hacked at his plates, and the strain of electrical and psychic attacks, pulled at his armor. Sandslash7 struck at the silver plate, and it shattered into several piece, detaching it self and falling off Dragonclyne725 body. The silver coat that blanketed him dissipated and disappeared. The bullets from Scottistru and King Piplup now had an effect, and a green, and pale green, as well as the brown plate shattered and fell off as the .45 caliber rounds pounded the armor. The rock coating disappeared, and Dragonclyne725 felt the brunt of the electrical attacks from JewelQuest which caused his black plate to break and fall off. Now removed of his dark abilities, he was susceptible to thunderjolt psychic attack and was lifted off the ground and thrown against the wall, hard. He collapsed and lay motionless. The barrage of attacks stopped, and Sandslash7 walked over to Dragonclyne725 to investigate. None of the plates were glowing anymore, and the few remaining plates began to crumble and crack. Dragonclyne725 moaned in pain. He growled in anger and his eyes darted from person to person, but was clearly unable to move. The wall where thunderjolt had thrown Dragonclyne was cracked. Behind it was a bright orange and yellow light. There was no known room behind that wall, and everyone was surprised that any light would be coming from it.
“Doooooo NOT oopen zhat!” Dragonclyne725 demanded in voice that sounded like a damaged electronic. He head fell and his body went limp.
Sandslash7 looked at Dragonclyne725, then at the other Rebels, then back at the wall. He took his sword and pried open the crack, peeling back the metal bulkhead. It creaked and strained, but was not very strong. Behind the wall was a single small room. There was a round table with a yellow grid top. It was a hologram projector, a communications table. On top of the table, materialized in hologram form, was a four legged-creature with a dark face.
Everyone funneled into the room to investigate. Everyone looked, but no one spoke.
Sandslash7 was the first to speak, “What are you?”
The creature on the hologram spoke. It spoke in the same raspy low voice that Dragoncylne725 had begun using during the fight. “Bow down in awe human. I am Arceus, god of Pokémon, perfection in physical form.”
“That voice,” inquired King Piplup, “it’s the same one that Dragonclyne725 spoke in.”
Arceus nodded, “Yes, he was weak, and degraded much faster then the others. My influence began to show sooner then I expected.”
King Piplup was confused, “What are talking about? What others?”
Arceus responded without moving, “The Empire.”
“Wait a minute, you controlled the Empire? You were the one attacking us this entire time?” queried Sandslash7
Arceus responded with no emotion, “Correct.”
“Explain,” demanded Scottistru, “none of this makes sense. The Empire wanted to rule the galaxy. It was headed by a Sith Lord, Palpatine. Dragonclyne725 spoke of killing humans. He spoke as if he wasn’t a human. What about Cyrus and the Sith cult, did you have a role in that as well?”
Arceus turned to face Scottistru, “The one you call Cyrus released me from my prison on Earth by using the power of Dialga and Palkia. He took me to the one know as the Emperor. The Emperor showed me a power called the Dark Side. He explained that Pokémon are affluent with the Force. He sought to control me, to steal my power. However it was I who controlled him. Cyrus knew this and sought an alliance. He was not to be trusted, and so he swore my destruction. It ended up being his demise. I was using this ship to study humans, to study the force, and to prepare for your destruction as a species. When you and your Rebel Alliance arrived, it compromised my plans, and I attacked. Your meddling in these affairs has vexed me to no end. As each leader of the Empire fell, I took control of the next. However, even when given my power, Dragonclyne725 proved that he was nothing but a worthless human, unable to accomplish my tasks.”
“What do you have against humans, why do you want to destroy us?” asked Sandslash7
Arceus became angry, “Humans are imperfect. Humans enslave Pokémon, and use them for their own means. Pokémon are superior. Humans should and will serve us!”
“Humans and Pokémon work together as friends and partners!” counter Sandslash7.
“Lies!” screamed Arceus, “Humans are scum, a cancer on life. Imperfect and unbalanced. They destroy and enslave, abuse and corrupt. I will see to it that every human is dead or enslaved to Pokémon. Pokémon will be the dominate species in the galaxy!”
“That’s not true.” Spoke JewelQuest, “some humans, yes, but not all, not most.”
Arceus addressed the Jolteon, “you have been brainwashed, you and the Deoxys, are traitors to your own kind. You will die with the humans!”
The Imperial Glory shook and Cardzmaster2004 closest to the entrance, peered out into the Hanger. “The orbit of this ship is decaying. We need to leave, now.”
Everyone began to file out of the small room. Sandslash7 however stayed, watching Arceus. King Piplup poked his head back in and told him to hurry.
“Go prep the ship,” said Sandslash7, “I’ll be there in a moment.”
King Piplup nodded and hurried to the shuttle, which now had everyone else aboard.
Sandslash7 turned back to Arceus. “You are misguided. We have just proven to you how strong humans are. We beat you. We beat the Empire, and the Sith. It doesn’t matter if you try to destroy us by yourself or with an army. We have always lived in peace with Pokémon. You will not change that. You won’t turn us against each other. You lost, and should you ever be brave enough to show yourself personally, we will see just how much of a ‘god’ you are. Just remember the loss you suffered here on the Imperial Glory and when you are ready for another one, come and find us. We will be waiting. The word will be out about your plan; the entire galaxy will be looking for you. You don’t have a chance.”
Sandslash7 turned to leave. Arceus said nothing. Sandslash7 was half-way out of the room when he stopped. Arceus addressed him, “Run human, run. You are only delaying the inevitable. Go to your leaders. Tell them of my existence. Tell them of my plans. You cannot stop us. We are coming. Our arrival, our descent will be unstoppable.”
Sandslash7 silently left the room and boarded the ship. Explosions began to rock the Imperial Glory as the planet below’s gravity tugged at it, ripping it to pieces and pulling to towards the ground. Everyone was aboard the Lambda shuttle, which was hovering on repulsorlifts, and positioning itself to leave the Imperial Glory’s hanger. The ship moved forward, passing through the barrier between space and the interior of the hanger. As the shuttle left the Imperial Glory, the amount of damage the cruiser had taken became apparent, what little remain of her was quickly being pulled toward the planet below. The shuttle lingered as King Piplup who was at the controls, calibrated the navigation route. As the Imperial Glory began to disappear, a low raspy voice echoed inside of everyone’s mind, a psychic message. It was Arceus.
“Humans, you have changed nothing. Your species has the attention of those infinitely your greater. That which you know as Pokémon will be your destruction and demise! We are coming.”
Scottistru looked over at Sandslash7, “Did he say ‘we?’”
King Piplup threw the hyperdrive switch and the ship jumped forward into light-speed, cutting off anything else Arceus had planned to say. The small shuttle was on its way back to Rebel Alliance space.
Back on the Imperial Glory Arceus’s image was still on the holo-table. He looked at Dragonclyne725 who still lay at the entrance to the communications room, motionless, but alive.
“You have failed,” claimed Arceus, “we will find another way. Releasing control.”
The image of Arcues faded away. Dragonclyne725 looked around at his surroundings confused and dazed. He looked down at his broken and mangled body with bafflement and then out the shield barrier at the end of the hanger. He saw the planet below getting larger and larger. Explosions shook the ship, which rumbled as it entered the atmosphere. Fire rushed upwards and consumed him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well everyone, it’s been over 250 days, and Werewolf XV, Pokémon Wars has finally come to an end. It’s almost hard to believe how ingrained in the story I became, how excited I was to come back from class and see what had happened. How the players had changed and molded the story based on their actions. Throughout this entire game I could never tell who was going to win. I will explain more in detail later, but had the town made a single mistake, the Sith Cult were going to win. I actually already had the Sith win update planned out if it happened. The same thing happened with the last wolf. Had Dragonclyne725 managed to survive the day, then the wolves automatically won. Again, I had prepared for their victory and had prepared a victory scene. This was amazing game, and I want to thank everyone for playing and participating. Here is what I’m going to talk about here. First I will explain roles, show the full unedited versions and give a brief explanation of their rules and abilities, and reasons for designing them as I did. Then I will give my opinion on how each player did with there role. Finally a few closing comments.
WEREWOLF XV RULES, ROLES, AND PLAYERS
I was originally not set for another werewolf game for some time after my last one. Cardzmaster sent me a message asking me if I wanted to the 15th game. I eagerly accepted and planned on making it a game to remember I created the Werewolf XV role document in Microsoft Word on January 15th 2011. That’s 6 months and 4 days from the beginning of my game. My game went through so many tweaks and changes that I actually had separate word documents to write notes on characters and factions as I wrote them so I could keep track of what I was doing. The game got so complex for me at times that I would have to write myself notes on things I might come up with so I could remember to take certain factors into account later on. I ran ideas by players, I sent PMs asking for there opinions. Many of you may remember a PM I sent asking if players would like a big or little game, lots of players or not many. Multiple factions or fewer. I sent that PM to roughly 45 people. I took all of there responses into account while making this game. I ran ideas by veteran players, but was able to remain vague enough to not give anything away. I spent hours on MafiaScum and the Mafia Wiki. I read all of the Pokegym games, and even a few games on other forums. I wanted to make this game for the players. I like to think I accomplished that. The game preformed beyond my expectations and I have the players to thank for that. I knew immediately I wanted a Star Wars theme. In fact I had planned on one when I wrote the epilogue to my second Werewolf game. It was around that time everyone got new avatars. Among those were my Jedi Lucario, Z-man’s Jedi Gallade, and DarthPika, Darth Pikachu. All of which became characters in my game, and were the basis for most of my storyline development. I combined the character and universes of Star Wars and Pokémon in a way that everyone, even people not fans of Star Wars could enjoy.
ROOMS: Why?
So before I explain roles, it will help to understand my rooms or “area” mechanic. One of the biggest things that bugged me in Werewolf was that if I put too much information in the updates, it gave away roles, but made for a great. If I put too little, it became boring and stale. I wanted a way for people to use updates to figure out who other players were without relying only on detective or seer roles. The room mechanic would allow players to use room location as evidence against and for one another. It brought a whole new angle into the game. I searched and found only a couple of game that had tried this idea before, but with little success. Rooms also allowed for new types of roles to be created. Area effect roles and roles that relied on or involved rooms became central in my role design process. With 41 players, rooms also divided up the night into smaller, more manageable groups. Having 41 roles take place in the same place would be crazy to try and shift through in an update as well as to write. I said in the beginning of my game that the room mechanic was an experimental idea and I was unsure of how it would go. I am proud to say that it preformed beyond my expectations and if I ever host another Werewolf game, it will feature the room mechanic. I loved it and think it added a different flavor and twist to the game. It wasn’t until the final stage of my game that I decided to plan events and situations in which the rooms of the ship were slowly removed as the players were reduced in number. This was akin to my infamous super events where all hell breaks lose, usually on night 4. See Magikarp evolving and Arceus being released in my previous games. The way the events worked were partially pre-planned. The Hanger would never be destroyed because that would remove any hope of escape from the ship. Two rooms would be destroyed on night 5. Another room when Palpatine was killed, and two others based on the number of players remaining at the end of a night or day phase. I tried to be creative in how the rooms would go. Death by room destruction was based on some equation that I’m not entirely sure how I came up with. It took the number of players, and the number of players in the room to be destroyed and gave a percentage chance that every person had of dying in that room based on that proportion. However I had certain parameters restricting the number of people who could die at the same time via the same room destruction and based those ranking on who hit the higher percentage in a dice roll. Somewhere along the line someone suggested that the rooms being destroyed was a time limit to the end of the game. I loved that, and the fact that almost everyone believed it made me happy. It added a level of suspense to the game. As rooms were destroyed, it forced players to a smaller space and thus area of effect roles became more powerful as time went on, and it became easier to pinpoint who was where each night. That being said, I threw several curveballs to keep people from finding some way to abuse the rooms to perfectly figure out who was who and where they were really early on. Some characters were undetectable in rooms and would appear as “shadows.” Other players could appear in multiple rooms, and other still would perform actions in a room, then leave and hide in another. This I believe balanced out the room mechanic and made it work. As some point I planned on making a map of the Imperial Glory but that idea was scrapped. That being said, in the first night update, I clearly explained where each room was. Later on when creaking was heard above the mess, I had hoped players would be able to figure out that the Control Room was in danger. I dropped multiple hints like this throughout the game. In fact almost all my updates had some sort of cryptic clue in it. So that explains the rooms, now I can talk about roles.
ROLES: The most important part of the game.
The roles of this game were definitely my proudest achievement. I believe them to be some of the best roles I have ever come up with. . They are a combination of roles from past werewolf games, both my own and others and my own design. I took several tips and ideas from other mods. So let me first explain something that came up a few times. How did players in my game receive there role? Was it random? Did I assign roles? In my last game, I had to adjust for the massive amount of new players, but this game brought a healthy balance of new and old, veteran and inexperience. So everyone randomly received a number. That number put them in one of 6 categories; Empire, Rebel, Pokémon, Independent, Cultist, Jedi. From that point each group received random numbers that either assigned them a role in that group or recycled them out to the next group below them. Example, seven people got into the Empire faction, but only the ones with the highest six numbers got to stay. The lowest roller was sent down to the town faction below. This may seems overly complicated, but it allowed my see general groups formed before roles were assigned to each individual player. So after this, every player had been assigned one of six factions, but not an actual role. By doing this, I was able to see what players would be in what groups before they got there roles. This was to prevent clumps of power or veteran players. There were no major or worrisome clumps in groups and thus no changes were necessary. At this point each person in the faction was randomly assigned a role within there already randomly assigned faction. Every role was assigned randomly. For all random number assignment, role flips, storyline percentages, and other dice rolls or percentages, I used: http://www.random.org/
So about the roles themselves. I wanted a very even balance of Pokémon and Star Wars. Thus the reason for that excel spreadsheet show in the video above. I made a list of every character, the universe they were from, whether they were force affluent or not, and whether they would be visible in rooms or not. I also noted how there roles and the room mechanic worked. Whether they chose a room, or followed a player, or were restricted to rooms. The only time I ran into a problem with this was when I had a circle of players target each other and all of them had “follow target to their area” as there room mechanic operation. This forced me to randomly choose of them to choose the room they would operate in, so that the other roles would have a base of operations as well. This was the “role paradox” I referred to during night 10 or something like that. At any rate, I’ve gotten off topic a bit. The roles were split. There was roughly a 50-50 split in Pokémon and Star Wars characters. There was also a 50-50 split in force users and non force users. I also decided to stick to only movie based character, or extended universe characters that were very well known. I wanted to try and avoid spoilers on the Star Wars side. In fact I originally had Jacen and Jainia as characters in the game, but took them away because I felt they were too unknown. I had Mara Jade and Kyle Katarn though, so I suppose that is a moot point. I also wanted to establish a bit of a coherent timeline. Obviously it takes place in an alternate universe, and thus certain characters were alive at the same time that otherwise shouldn’t be, but I think it lined up very well. As for Pokémon. I originally had N as a character, but at the time, BW was still relatively new, and people were still playing the game, so I opted to not use him or and BW Pokémon because people were still getting used to them. At some point I decided that all Pokémon, with a few exceptions would be Force Sensitive, I used this a plot point to explain their powers later on, and relevance with the Star Wars universe.
As you all probably noticed, every character had a main alignment group, and then a subset of groups. Darth Pikachu for example was Empire aligned, but was also a Pokémon, a Dark Jedi, and a Force User. The inclusion of these sub-groups allowed me to tailor win conditions. It created separate rivalries and battles within the game. Pokémon Hunter J for example needed all Pokémon to be killed. Cyrus and Giovanni needed the Jedi and other Dark Jedi eliminated as part of their win condition. This meant that there could still be active Empire alive, but so long as the Jedi, Darth Pikachu, and Palpatine were dead, the win condition could be achieved. The Force Sensitivity played less of a role then I had originally intended. Originally the Sith Cult and Jedi could only recruit Force Sensitives, this however was changed during Night 1 when I realized that it made the win condition of some groups too hard to achieve. Obviously it still held some use though. At one point someone figured out all Pokémon were supposed to be Force Sensitive. Jedi and Dark Jedi were also naturally Force Sensitive, and using these subgroups allowed for players to have another way to find clues and evidence. It also made character easier to manage from a mod standpoint.
So now you understand the room mechanic and the role subgroups, but what about the actual roles themselves? Here is every role, uncensored and unedited, as it was sent to the player via PM. Along with the role is a sort explanation on how the role worked, and how the player played using said role. Anything listed under ***XXXX Notes*** was information hidden from players and known only to me. The following information is from my point of view, watching the game as a mod. I have no intention of offending anyone, so if you don’t like what I wrote about you, I apologize in advance.
1.
So right off the back you’ll notice that the Alpha Wolf role is huge. Not only that, but he give neutral reads on seering and detectives, and has a vote manipulation ability. He also does not show up in rooms as an occupant. At first look, this character is extremely over-powered. Only, he’s not. One thing I learned from watching and modding werewolf games is that the wolves need power. This is best expressed by Lucario ex’s game. She gave every wolf a power. The wolves were closer to victory in that game then any other game I’ve seen. I liked that, and as I player her game, I incorporated her ideas into my game. To that I give my thanks Lucario ex. I found some statistics involving the number of detectives and seers, and the number of wolves and found just how slim the wolves’ normal chances of victory are. So to that point I pumped up the wolves with extra abilities and powers. Palpatine’s third ability can be transferred to Darth Pikachu if he is alive when Palpatine dies. This was because the role become more powerful as the wolves are losing, so it was logical to make it a pass-down role. During night 5, Palpatine gained a secondary kill ability. The reasons for this was to help thin out the game a bit and scare the town. The ability however failed to hit due to the criteria requited of it. I believe that with the upgrades all the wolves in this game had, they had at least a 50% chance of victory. This can be proven by the fact that the wolves almost won. I’ll explain more later, but I had actually assumed they would win at some point. I liked writing battle scense with Palpatine. Palpatine isn’t just evil, he enjoys being evil, he’s passionate about it. He has fun being a complete and utter evil jerk. I had a lot fun writing him in updates.
Ikrit played his character perfectly. He stayed under the radar for the most part, and managed the wolves in an interesting tactic that I really liked. He told me the he treated the wolves like unknowns in every instance except when night rolled around. He chose to disassociate himself with his team so that he would not appear biased. I liked that strategy. Even after being accused of being Palpatine, Ikrit managed to talk his way out of being lynched. In the end Ikirt went down when both the Sith Cult and the Jedi gained a special kill ability that only worked on Jedi or Dark Jedi. They both chose to attack him on the same night. This unintentional choice allowed me to write one of the most awesome updates ever. They chose to target him because someone (I can’t remember who) straight up pinpointed Ikrit as a wolf, specifically Palpatine. I think it was Scottistru, but they somehow figured out exactly who Ikrit was. I know he got a neutral detective read on Ikrit and found that interesting. Specifically he got the PM “You receive no information,” but I remember him being excited by that PM. Whoever that was, please explain how you figured that out. All in all, Ikrit in an amazing player. I really enjoy his play style and tactics. He played a great game, and lost more on being targeted by the wrong roles at the wrong time, then anything else. Good job Ikrit

While not having a real role other then being a wolf (and receiving Palpatine’s vote manipulation bearing Palpatine’s death) Darth Pikachu played a vital part in this game. Not only was this character one of the very base ideas and character for the creation of this game, but hit presence was extremely important to the storyline. He was as main of a villain as Palpatine was. He was the one killing people when the wolves attacked. When he died, it gave a huge sense of relief to the town. Darth Pikachu was also another Dark Jedi and Pokémon, his death advanced several people’s agendas. I also had fun writing about Darth Pikachu. I turned him into the biggest killing machine in this game. He not just killed his opponent, he made them suffer. During the short time he was alive, I feel like he really developed as a character. When Darth Pikachu dies, he drops a Lightsaber. During the day he died, Spirtomb, one of Napoleon’s Pokémon was in effect. This allowed Napoleon to automatically claim the Lightsaber. The Lightsaber offered protection against Jedi and Dark Jedi attackers as well as a general defense against the Empire. The Lightsaber actually has different effects depending on the faction of the player who picks it up. In this case a town member picked it up ad gained a defense bonus.
Time For Pain who originally held the role was unable to play as long as I hoped. That’s too bad because TFP is a really good player and I like his style. He did however manage to stay under the radar during his time. This allowed Cabd to enter the game without too much problem. Cabd however was new to Werewolf and this was his first WW game (correct me if I’m wrong on that.) He hit a suspicious note early on for having jumpy actions and saying a couple of off things. In the end he was lynched, but that’s not to say he did a bad job. If this was his first game, then he did very well, especially considering he jumped into the game late, and had such an important role. Regardless of his experience, he was able to talk his way out of being lynched several times before the hammer finally fell.

Oh man. This role was one of my favorites. In fact this is the role that almost won the game for the wolves. So before I get to that, let me explain the role. This is essentially a steal the image of another person. Dragoncylne725 used this role during the first night and the first wolf kill. It ended up being Diaz who took the first bullet and Dragonclyne725 adopted the guise of Lance. Just like with Palpatine, this prevented Seers and Detectives from seeing his true nature and in fact, they would see townie. Now some might call this role unfair, but there are more factors then seen. As you can see on the note, if hit with more then one information role the disguise breaks. This isn’t just the 4 major seers/detectives. All the one night only, and psudeo detective and seer roles fall under this rule. In fact there were a couple of nights a role block or a priest prevented a second seer or detective from breaking through the disguise. Also had the first kill been a cultist or an independent, then so too would the Imperial Agent’s alignment appear to be. This role was fun. It’s deceptive. The wolves killing one of their own just messes with everyone. I’d like to say I wrote it well, though as the game progressed, I started to feel like I made it too obvious Diaz was a rebel. That said, I don’t regret what I wrote. It clearly did the job until the last day of the game. Regardless of this, Dragonclyne725 managed to pass the lie detector tests, and fool the entire town into believing he was a townsperson until the very end. I said this role almost won the game for the wolves. Had the town lynched anyone other then Dragonclyne725 on Day 12, the wolves would gave automatically won. There were 6 townies alive, 1 Independent with a “survive until the game ends condition” and 1 wolf. The wolves were that close to winning this game. In fact, I prepared for (and kinda hoped) they would win. I had a really cool ending scene planned out, but the wolves were finished in a very exciting final day. This is what I meant by “wolves need power.” The Imperial Agent is more or less immune to normal detective and seer sweeps, which means his downfall has to come from someone getting them to crack or catching them in a lie. I was really impressed by how this role played out.
Dragonclyne725 himself played amazingly. I believe 100% that the wolves would have won if just a few things had gone different. If Diaz had not been the first target, then when Napoleon died, the difference in roles would not have been able to have been used as evidence. This was a big part of Dragonclyne725 fall. His fake role didn’t match up to my normal style for Pokémon Trainers and when Cynthia fell, he had no defense. That being said, had Dragonclyne725 opted to kill Sandslash7 then not only would the role comparison not been made, but those huge posts might not have been made and Dragonclyne725 may have lived to fight another day. I don’t believe that PokemonFreak5’s words about Dragonclyne725 were that big in his downfall. At that point DC725 was passing seers and detective scans, and the evidence against his was circumstantial. That being said, I think PokemonFreak5 cast unnecessary attention on him. All in all, Dragonclyne725, you played an amazing game. You survived longer then any wolf in the history of Pokegym Werewolf, and you almost brought the first victory ever to the wolves. The only way I can describe your loss is that you flipped too many tails. You did good, you played extremely well and I congratulate you.

This was another really fun role. It was a really powerful disruption role, with a really powerful counter. So if you are familiar with my previous Werewolf game, you’ll recognize this role immediately. I always gave the wolves a control pad person. The difference this time being that button is an area effect role. Combined with the room mechanic, this role started out relatively ineffective and more a nuisance to the town, and became progressively more powerful and deadly. As you can see from the notes, so long as Han Solo was alive, the Imperial Officer’s role effectiveness was reduced and he was at risk. Even once Han Solo died, the mechanic’s bag would never be removed from play unless a wolf claimed it. As with previous versions of this role, the control pad could be picked up by anyone if the Officer died and each button had a one time use. The final button had multiple effects depending on the situation. If the Imperial Officer had it and managed to survive until every button was used, as happened here, he got to choose between using all the buttons at the same time in a super role, setting a bomb off somewhere, or holding the button until he died and detonating it upon death. Had Han Solo not been alive when PokemonFreak5 died, he would have taken out 2-3 people when his bomb blew up. Instead Arcanine/Arbok Master as Han Solo was able to sacrifice himself to prevent the extra killing. If a townie had the remote when the last button activated, they got access to the “use every button at the same time” role only and not the bomb ones. Until his death, PokemonFreak5 and Han Solo never actually used there roles in the same rooms.
When this game first started, I was under the impression that PokemonFreak5 was a new player. I later realized how experienced he really was. PF5 played a good game as evidenced by how long he lived. His down fall was due to Redados1 killing himself to reveal PF5’s wolf alignment. When he went down, he cast unnecessary attention on Dragonclyne725 but I don’t believe that really affected Dragonclyne725 lynch. I like the way PF5 plays. He’s subtle and stays under the radar, but posts very detailed and informative posts. He’s a good player, and it took a seer committing suicide to take him out. His posts were persuasive. If not for the damning evidence of the seer, he probably would have talked his way out of the lynch. Over all I was very pleased with how this character fit into the game and how he was played.

Being a sibling sucks in Werewolf. There are great opportunities to abuse and manipulate being a sibling, especially if you are wolf, but have 2 or 3 multiplier in your death probability sucks. You have to protect others, and it can be a pain. That’s why I added the secret 15% survival rate. This is the same reason Gallade survived when Dark Gardevoir died. Other then that, there’s nothing to exciting about this role. The sibling triagle is between a townsperson, a wolf, and a Jedi. The Jedi being the equivalent to wildcards in this game. I don’t know about behind the scenes chats and stuff, but I didn’t see this mason group really be too effective or make much of an impact.
I don’t have much to say on Blitzer. He died too early to really do that much or for me to get a read on him, and his death was the combination of a Napoleon’s kill role, and the Garchomp someone picked up off of Lance’s body making everyone shift targets with an earthquake. It was cruddy luck, and it happens. Sorry you went out so early Blitzer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Again I have a wolf with a defensive role. This one defended against anyone with a Force Sensitive subgroup in there role. This is a pretty normal defensive role. I think the purge trooper is awesome, and Benzo had one of the coolest death fight scenes of game. I gave it a speech impediment because most werewolf games have townies with speed impediment. I like speech impediment. They mess with everyone because of how easy they are to fake, they also drive everyone completely nuts when half the players are using them, either falsely or because of their role. I liked this one because of how ambiguous making robot sounds really was.
This role belonged to Marshstomp who signed up, acknowledged his role then proceeded to stop playing. I don’t really understand the logic in that, but whatever. I like Benzo. I just get a good vibe from him. He was one of the first people to sign up…but asked to be signed up as a replacement despite there being more then 10 open spots at the time. He was brand new to the game and wanted to watch a bit before joining in. He got his chance and was thrown into the game, as a wolf no less. He did fantastic. For a new player, he adapted almost instantaneously. He used his speech impediment to his advantage claiming to be a good robot, and was able to post enough to not attract attention. His posting as well, despite being a new player was surprisingly sound. Benzo died because gallade just out of the blue claimed he was a wolf, and everyone voted for him. Later on jpulice claimed that gallade didn’t really know Benzo was a wolf, he just really had a hunch and told everyone he had a pseudo seer role so they would believe him. gallade if I am wrong on this let me know, but if I am correct, then you identified Benzo as a wolf, and convinced the town to vote him completely on a gut feeling. I won’t criticize what works. Bad luck Benzo but I want you to know that for the time you were alive, you played fantastic. Especially for your first Werewolf game.
Final Notes on the wolves
You will notice how much defensive power I put on the wolves. This biggest reason for this is that given statistics, seers and detectives will destroy any chance a wolf has a winning. By evening those odds, I tremendously increased the survivability of the wolves. I don’t think the wolves were over-powered Especially with all the factions they were fighting against. I don’t think the wolves were too weak either. I think this was just right for them.
The wolves played a fantastic game. They almost won. There downfall was also a good mix of bad luck, being called out for mistakes, and being out maneuvered. I cannot find a single thing I would have changed out the wolves’ strategy and tactics. Had they gotten just a tad luckier, there is no doubt that they would have won this game.

This is a pretty typical seer role, but adjusted for the room mechanic. Instead of being to search anyone, this seer could search any room, see everyone in the room (except shadows) and then choose one of those people to seer. This would turn out to be very useful for the town. As you can see, if Redados1 had run into the Alpha werewolf, a new event would have happened. If Redados1 or Obi-Wan-Kenobi had found each other, there ability to seer would have gone up immensely. Again this did not happen. While the character had a very useful role, the player however ran into quite a few, complications.
Redados1 got really excited really early on. He role revealed first chance he had. It would make him a target for the role reveal assassin, Sandslash7 which I will discuss later. The short version is that under penalty of death via Sandslash7’s role, he could not reveal anything more about his role, his targets, or results. Not even the room he was in. This would prove to be a huge burden on him, but also a bit of blessing. It forced him to keep quiet, and under the radar, which in turn let him live long enough to pin a wolf. He broke his silence seal to reveal Pokemonfreak5 wolfness but activated Sandslash7’s role who then proceeded to kill him. Beyond this limitation, Redados1 was targeted twice in a role by Ikrit’s vote manipulation role. Redados1 was restricted in some way almost the entire game. In the end though, he survived a while, and took out a wolf. That’s a victory in my book.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.
Nothing too exciting about this role. Pretty standard seer role with a few modifications to make it interesting. Cardzmaster2004 never found Yoda (Redados1) so his secondary effect never kicked in.
Cardzmastser2004 is THE Werewolf veteran on Pokegym. He brought Werewolf to Pokegym. Everyone knows what a great player he is. I was a little disappointed at how inactive he was this game, though I totally understand why. Not only was he really busy with real life, but he had adopted (testing?) a more passive play style that is more akin to Time For Pain or Armodak (does he still even play Pokémon?) I can’t criticize him too much though because despite having a huge target on his back for simply being Cardzmaster2004 he managed to survive the entire game. That being said, his role was near useless. He got priest protection so often it rarely went through. When he wasn’t protected, his role failed, or he was role-blocked. When it did get through, he would seer someone who ended up dying the same night. That’s exaggerating a bit, his role didn’t fail every night, but it certainly failed quite a bit. I can’t critique this guy, I learned everything I know about Werewolf from him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
9.
Standard Priest/Doctor role. Note however how in the notes how I handled the wolf situation. Each wolf was assigned a number on the power ladder, 1-6. If the less powerful wolves were taken in, the kill was stopped. Nurse Joy can kill the alpha if she gets lucky. I think this was pretty fair, I think it prevented a kill once, but I can’t remember.
I like Toxictapian, he done his homework. He got into werewolf and immediately started playing game on MafiaScum and other website. He’s a good player, a really good player. He posts very well, and writes well. He has a strong tone when he types. That’s one of the reasons he’s so dangerous, and I would love to see him play as a wolf. He posts in a similar style to DarthPika. It’s funny because both of them bashed each other’s opinion or arguments all the time to me on aim when I talked to them. I stand by that they have the same personality. Reguardless, good game Toxictapian you played well enough that the wolves wanted you dead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
10.
Another pretty standard preist/doctor role. This one used the Force Sensitive sub-group. Where as Toxictapian could remotely protect his target, Dave628 had to follow them.
Dave628 died because he was the unlucky winner of the Control Room collapse lottery. Over all he played very well, and posted very well. I was under the impression that Dave628 was a new player (correct me if I am wrong.) If so then I am even more impressed. He player like an experienced player, and didn’t make any mistakes…well except choosing to go to the Control Room on Night 5. Good job Dave sorry about the bad luck.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
11.
The room mechanic let me get really creative with detective roles. I really liked this role. Just like Redados1 it used the room mechanic to dictate who could be a possible target instead of choosing any target, but with the advantage of seeing who was in a particular room during the night. Getting to appear as a shadow and getting to automatically see who was not Force Sensitive or not made up for the lack of choice of target and the 35% chance of seeing Force Sensitives, who made up roughly 50% of the characters.
jellyfisher played one heck of a game. I had him pegged as a newer player, with maybe one game’s worth of experience. I truly expected him to be gone in the first few day or nights, but he showed me just how good he was. He was really good at analyzing posts, and finding evidence in them. He is also really good at taking that evidence and backing up his arguments. Even when his arguments were wrong, he was persuasive in his thoughts. He’s a good posters, but keeps that air of not quite a threat. The wolves chose him as a target because of how good he was at posting and analyzing data. jellyfisher is for sure a player to look for in future games.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12.
Standard Detective role with a slight modification. It didn’t really matter as the clue was lost only once, maybe twice, but I only remember it happening once, and another time when Leafeon copied Looker’s role. This is actually a good place for me to explain how I determine what the detective see when they target someone. The results a detective receive are different depending on the mod, and there is a lot of debate on what is too much. I give my detective information relevant to the target’s current activities during that particular night. Depending on the situation, I may include a bit of description on what the target looks like.
Wow, Scottistru, you impressed me big time. Let’s look at this. Elite_4_Allen drops out the game right after successfully making himself look super suspicious. Scottistru gets put in, and immediately turns his reputation around. I was really impressed by how well you played Scottistru. You are a good poster, a solid player, and a persuasive writer. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing you in future games.

This role is my baby. This role did in this game what I failed to make it do in my last game. It limits role-revealing. Before I go further, let me explain. I am not against role-revealing. If I was, I would ban it from my game (which I can do.) However I think it is abused, and over-used. It should be a last ditch gamble, not a get out of lynch free-card. Thus the Role Reveal Assassin. The job of the RRA is to be suspicious of any and all role reveals. He has a high chance of killing a liar if he catches one. If the revealer is telling the truth, they are silenced from talking about there role anymore or risk death. This is what happened to Redados1 and at one point to jellyfisher. It’s a very powerful role that can be extremely helpful, or extremely hurtful to the town. It has to be used cautiously. Even if no effect happens, the RRA still learns if his target is truthful or not. After Redados1 was hit, it was very clear that something was punishing role-reveals, and I think it reduced the number and speed of role reveals and made them more a risky move, then a casual post. At first Sandslash7 was just a nameless assassin, but as the game advanced, I bought and played all the assassin creed games, and Sandslash7’s evolved into one of the Assassin’s Creed assassin. He wasn’t specifically Enzio, but he was an assassin.
Sandslash7 is like Cardzmaster2004, he is a veteran, and such a power player, and such a good player, that I am more impressed that he survived all the way until then end, then with his playing. Though, he also played as flawlessly as ever. I’m really surprised the wolves did not off him sooner. When I was a wolf, Sandslash7 always made my “kill ASAP” list. Sandslash7 is good, really good. He posts smartly, analyzed everything, and is as big of a Star Wars nerd as I am. If anything that made him the most dangerous and advantaged player in this game. As always Sandslash7 you showed just how good a player you are.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
14.
You may be wondering, why Batman? I always have some really out of place character in my games such as Yu-Gi-Oh, or Bobba Fett, or the Pink Panther Detective guy. In this case it was Batman. This was a pretty typical vigilante role. I added an extra rule about killing too many townies which would cause suicide. I also gave a chance of not killing townspeople. Especially with all the extra factions running around, 100% killing wasn’t needed on this role. I also included an information gathering role which would show who was in the room, but target a victim at random. The second option was not used once, perhaps it was too risky?
I’m not sure exactly how Lil_Magma played. He posted 3 times in the entire thread. I’m guessing his goal was to gather as little attention as possible. I would say this backfired, because people noticed how little he had posted. I can’t really say anything because he didn’t really post anything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
15.
This is your typical Tank/Speech Impediment role. All defense, but with a handicap of being only able to post small posts.
Akane did one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. She disguised her speech impediment…with a fake speech impediment…which simultaneously revealed her role…without actually role revealing. That whole posting in Shyriiwook was 100% her own creation. It took me completely by surprise. I thought it was absolutely fantastic. A really cool move. Akane also proved that she was just as good at playing Werewolf as she was at enhancing roles. I have no doubt that she would have survived until the end of the game if she hadn’t been unlucky enough to be the only person in the mess when it collapsed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
16.
Han Solo is the direct counterpart and rival to the Imperial Officer. It was his job to specifically counter the Control pad. I gave him a speech impediment simply because I felt I needed another one in the mix. My choice for his speech impediment may have been slightly flawed. I can see the argument for him being cocky and confident, but I will forever associate Han Solo for being a downer before he becomes confident. Besides if you read the extended universe, you’ll realize just how often the writers have Han Solo say something really pessimistic only have Leia elbow him in the stomach or step on his foot to tell him to shut up. The role could block the Imperial Officer, and if the trap was used, outright kill him. The role itself never really came into effect. Han Solo and the Imperial Officer never actually chose the same room on any night. Even all 3 traps failed to hit the Imperial Officer. Han Solo however saved several lives when his time finally came.
I remember getting a PM from Arcanine/Arbok Master a while back saying he had read every Werewolf game page for page and couldn’t wait to play. That was before Lucario ex’s game, so it’s been more then a year. I am happy to say that AAM has proven himself to be an amazing player. Ironically he pegged PokemonFreak5 and Dragonclyne725 at various parts of the game as wolves, but at the time his accusations fell on deaf ears. When he finally went down, it was because one of his hidden rules activated. AAM sacrificed himself to stop PokemonFreak5’s suicide bomb that otherwise would have killed 2-3 people. AAM is really good at writing, and thinks logically. He’s another player I expect to see big things from in the future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
17.
This is another defensive type role, this time based on being killed. It adds another item to the mix, but other then that is pretty straightforward.
Pikajew1213 really didn’t do anything too spectacular. He was only in the game for a short time, and by the time he joined, the game had entered its final stages. There really wasn’t much for him to do except keep the role alive. He ended up dying in a room explosion event that was completely luck based.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
18.
This was a really fun Area Effect role. Its main job was to throw certain people into the spotlight against there will. It also had the effect of showing where a certain person was during the night. It has the ability to clear a person, or make them really suspicious. The second role can really cause a lot of disruption and chaos.
I like Jason. He’s always a bit of wild card in these games. People always go after him, and he sometimes makes some really odd moves, but he isn’t a bad player. He likes to stay really quiet, but he’s not afraid to voice his opinion. He is also, as far as I know one of the few players to have played in EVERY Pokegym werewolf game. Jason did not get lynched this time however. He died when the Empire attacked Leafeon. They activated Leafon’s ability to absorb an attacker’s role which gave Baby Mario a killing role. Unfortunately baby mariotarget was Jason and thus he took down another townie as he died.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
19.
This role is almost identical to the Crazy Scientist, except that this character appears a shadow in rooms. Just like the Scientist, the Crazy Prisoner’s role is to speed the game along. Throw people into the spotlight. Clear them of suspicion, or put them up for questioning. In a game of this size, these roles are essential. Without it, the game can get stale, and create dead ends for the day.
Dragonite15 played a good game. I feel like he could have been more aggressive when he was fighting for his life, but he didn’t play badly. When he finally got lynched, he had been caught lying about his role, and instead of fighting for his innocence, he just gave up. That being said, a few people actually took his submission as proof he wasn’t a wolf. It was unfortunate that he was unable to convince the rest of the town. Despite all that, he didn’t make any real mistakes, he just couldn’t convince the town.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
20.
This role is a lot like my other Pokémon Trainer roles. It’s a variety role that can be used to fit the situation at hand. It’s a powerful role that is countered by the fact that if the other trainer, uses a role in the same room, only one will prevail. To a lesser extent, this applies to Pokémon as well, excluding Darth Pikachu and Dark Gardevoir, in which the Pokémon can fight the trainers for role usage. That didn’t happen very often. Only twice if I recall correctly. It’s also balanced by the fact that each Pokemon can only be used once each rotation. So after 6 nights of successful Pokémon usage, the cycle starts over again. When he died, he dropped five poke balls.
Diaz was the first to go during Night 1. It sucks, but it happens. It has happened to me before, and it sucks, but it happens. I will say that going off my last game, Diaz is crazy good. I can’t pinpoint exactly why, but I think it’s the tone in which it writes. It’s very persuasive, but at the same time aggressive and strong. The reason he was the first to go was based on how much a threat he was. I talked to Ikrit on aim during this game, and he told me Diaz was too dangerous to keep alive. Ironically however, Diaz’s death would be the reason the town beat the wolves. During Diaz’s death, Dragonclyne725 copied his character and became Lance. Had Diaz not been the strange wolf self kill, then the town would not have been able to compare Cynthia’s role to the supposal role of Dragonclyne725 and there is a high chance the wolves would have won because Sandslash may not have been able to bring enough proof against Dragonclyne725.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
21.
This role is almost identical to Lance, but with different Pokémon and effects.
Napoleon is good at this game. Really good. He’s cold and calculating. He talked his way out of being lynched several times, and was one of the driving forces for the town’s victory. His posts are solid, his written tone is confident, and he is very subtle when he needs to be. I honestly thought Napoleon was a new player when this game started, but before day 1 was over, I realized just how experience he really was. Napoleon strikes me as the kind of player I would be tricked into attacking during the day if I were a wolf, then losing horribly and having myself lynched. I’m really surprised the wolves allowed him to live as long as he did. He’s good, and I easily recognize him as a power player.

I’m going to discuss these three roles together because of how they interact.
This role is a bit complex, so bear with me. This role is based 100% on the room mechanic. The idea being that if the three work together as a team, the role can be extremely powerful, or it can spread them out for a lesser chance on more people. As the game progresses and rooms begin to disappear, this role would become much, much stronger. It was unfortunate, that Day 1, MagneBoar died, reducing the effectiveness of the role before the game even started, and Night 3, ultimatedra was targeted by the wolves. This left King Piplup who was the third replacement for this role I might add alone, without a team, and a role that only a third as effective as it should have been. As a result this role did almost nothing, except a few people being beaten up, and the occasional interrogation.
ultimatedra told me he is a D&D player. That means role-playing is his turf. Despite being new, he picked up on this game instantly, and also began trying to figure out any loopholes there might be. I can’t be mad cause I do the exact same thing when I play these games haha. ulti had it rough, he lost a team member day 1 and had a second team member that was completely inactive (and would be replaced twice.) He was taken out rather early which was odd considering this was his was only his first (or second maybe) werewolf game. That just goes to show how much of a threat he was appearing to be for the wolves. In the short time he played, he played very well.
King Piplup replaced Cardkeeper who posted once….and replaced Poke Dude who completely disappeared. Even more, after joining the game, he quickly found himself with an underpowered role and no team. Despite this King Piplup managed to become a key member in the town and ended up surviving until the end of the game. He played very well, posted strong, and was extremely good at analyzing updates. One thing in particular I noticed was that King Piplup was good at getting conversation going, often being one of the first people to post each day.
I can’t say much on MagneBoat. He was alive for less then a week, and posted very little. Getting lynched Day 1 sucks. It’s just like Diaz, it’s part of the game. Usually all it takes to be lynched Day 1 is to have an unfamiliar name, or to post something wrong. It’s all about luck, and sometimes you flip tails.

So first let me explain the Eevee role. It was first used in Cardzmaster2004’s first Werewolf game on Pokegym. I proceeded to shamelessly steal it and use it in every one of my Werewolf games. I really like it. The way it goes depends entirely on the player. The possibilites for the Older Eevee are the old eeveelutions. Flareon is a vigilante type roles which can be seen in my second Werewolf game. Jolteon, as seen here is a roleblocker type role, and Vaporeon is a defensive evasion type role. It’s a fun role that plays differently each time.
Lucario ex originally had this role, but she didn’t have the time to play the game. That was unfortunate because she’s a good player, and I like her play style. She was replaced by Spartacus who played for a while, but was ultimately replaced by JewelQuest. Boy was she excited when I sent her the role. Turns out she is a huge eeveelutions fan, so this was most perfect role she could ask for. Not only did she dive right into to her role, but she extremely active, and a really good player. She brought a really positive attitude to the game, and it was interesting to see other player interact with a normally not seen outlook. All in all, JewelQuest played very well and as a result survived the game.

Another eeveelutions role, this time having the newer eevelutions as options. Espeon is a pseudo seer, Umbreon, a pseudo detective. Leafeon, as see can absorb and borrow roles from people, and Glaceon can vote block and leave people frozen in ice.
Baby Mario was also a new player to werewolf. That said, he did very well. He chose Leafeon, and ended up dying because he drew the lucky lotto number to become the wolves’ next victim. He almost survived too, but he attempted to use his role on Benzo, the purge trooper, who was immune to Force users. While he was alive, Baby Mario posted and played with the skill of someone much more experienced. He played a good game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
27.
In a game of this size, I needed lots of detectives and pseudo detective. Absol is a straightforward detective, with literally nothing changed.
Victory Bell died night 2, so I didn’t get to see him post that much. He was the target of Lil_Magma’s vigilante attack. I can’t say too much, though I’ve seen Victory Bell play in the past and seems like a solid player for sure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

thunderjolt played much better then I thought he would. I had the pleasure of meeting him as it turns out he goes to the same league as me. thunderjolt attracted attention early on for his speech impediment and I pegged him as an early goner because of it. However it seemed that other people were garnering even more attention, and very few roles were used on him. It pushed him under the radar long enough for him to prove his innocence or at least move him from possible wolf to possible indie. Regardless, the town eventually figured him to be Deoxys and he was able to make it all the way to the end of the game.

Ralts the sibling to Dark Gardevoir and Gallade. Unlike Gardevoir and Gallade however, Ralts had not chance of surviving if his siblings dies. Instead he had the ability to adopt a second Mason partner. This could potentially give Ralts sway over three other people. A very powerful asset to have. Unfortunately, he didn’t live long enough to really abuse this ability.
Barkjon[/B[ played a good game, but really didn’t do anything memorable. He died night 4 when Dark Gardevoir bit the dust, so the game was just barely reaching it’s middle. I’ve seen Barkjon play before, so I know he’s a good player. I’m gussing he just didn’t have much to say this game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~l

Slowkingrocks played well, but didn’t do anything game-changing. He’s a solid player, and knows how to avoid attracting attention even while making pretty aggressive posts. He hit Cardzmaster2004 several times. When he finally died, it was because Pikamaster as Pokémon Hunter J got him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
31.
I wanted a role that abused the multiple items I had in this game. Somewhere I read that Murkrow loved shiny things, so he made his way into my game. The role is pretty straightforward. He can use items that other people hold. His role works in two-parter. The first being that he reviews a room for potential targets, and the next night he can choose which one to borrow an item from. The speech impediemt was actually one I had planned to use on a different character who was scrapped from my game. I wanted to add a lot of speech impediments based on something Darth Pika once told me
“Speech impediments are sooo annoying. Everyone fakes them and it makes it annoying trying to read everyone’s posts.”
That was enough motivations for me.
Z-man is a very laid back player, and plays with a very laid back style. I know he wasn’t as active in my game because he was simultaneously hosting his own on Pokebeach, so I thank him for being as active as he was. Z-man is a good player and a fellow mod, so I have a lot of respect for him. He plays well, and can spot the tiny little details I like to throw in. He died because he was a victim of Pokémon Hunter J.

It took a surprisingly long time for people to figure out what the Commlink did, and even then it was only after PokeChampofPokeBeach role revealed. I enjoyed the role a lot in my last game, and really wanted to put it in this one. Wobba Fett has a very special place in this game. He has the ability to play on any side because his win condition is stay alive until the end of the game. The only time he can’t win is if someone’s win condition is “last man standing.” He also has a special part to play because even if he plays as a townie, he doesn’t count as one. So if there had been 5 townies and Wobba Fett alive, with a wolf remaining, the wolves would have won. Wobba Fett can play with the town, but he isn’t a town member.
PokeChampofPokeBeach did a fantastic job of staying under the radar. Even in the final days of the game, he literally at not point in time came under suspicion. He played very well and as a reward survived the game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was a fun indie role. It had the similar “survive until the end,” but with the an added, “all Pokémon must be dead.” This meant that the wolves could win, and Pokémon Hunter J would win as well, bearing that Darth Pikachu and Dark Gardavoir were also dead. The same went for the town. As long as all the Pokémon bit the dust, Pokémon Hunter J could win. Her role was a modified vigilante/serial killer role. It had just enough chance to kill Pokémon to be effective, but enough chance of failure to not be over-powered. Overall a fun role.
Pikamaster like jellyfisher and DarthPika is a force to be reckoned with. He’s a good player and a worthy poster. No one ever actually question him or put him under suspicion. He died when the Control Room exploded, but I highly believe that he could have made it to the end if he had continued to play as he had. At one point he asked who was a Pokémon, and people actually answered him. Things were lining up nicely for him. Unfortunately fate had other plans.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
34.
I won’t lie. When the game started, I asked for 41 players because odd numbers tend to better then even. As I started handing out roles I realized something. I only had 40. Embarrassed that I had somehow forgot to replace “add indie role here” with an actual role, I conjured up this guy. I actually really liked it. It was a good disruption role. A good way to throw someone under the bus without having to post anything about it. You may notice that this all the independents have “survive until the end” as part of their win condition. I dislike last man standing roles because of the havok they cause and how they can drag on the night. That said, I believe independents are important because they can play without having to play specifically for one side, they can play selfishly for survival. They can also play for a specific faction, but without counting towards that faction’s numbers.
Porii Sames is a very…sporatic. Sometimes he’d make a good post, followed by a strange one, then a bad one, then another good one. Untimely his posting did not impress the town who lynched him on Day 2.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So let me start with some background on this role. After experimenting with a 3rd pary faction with Team Black Hole, I really wanted to do it again, but with Cultists. The Cultist is a very controversial role in Werewolf due to it’s ability to get extremely overpowered and broke extremely fast. In fact a lot of MafiaScum games don’t allow the Cultist role for that reason. I was determined to make it work though and did so by making the recruited only part of the Sith Cult team during certain situations, and otherwise unaware of themselves or others being part of the Sith. I feel like it worked extremely well. The way the role worked is that Cyrus could target anyone for recruitment. If successful, that person got a tattoo on there arm. If he targeted a Jedi or Dark Jedi, the situation depending on a few scenarios. If he targeted Palpatine while Darth Pikachu was a live, or vice versa, then he had 0% chance of touching either one. Once one of them died however, as long as Cyrus had at least 2 recruits plus himself, he had the ability to kill Palpatine or Darth Pikachu. Likewise with the Jedi, so long as he outnumbered the Jedi he would kill his target. Otherwise it would end in a stalemate. I’ll get to that in more detail when I explain the Jedi roles below. People with tattoos would become Sith during the night, and only when a fight with the Jedi or other character broke out. Otherwise they used their role as normal, and could appear in the update doing both. This particularly threw off the number for some people trying to figure out who was a Sith. Cyrus died early on and was the victim of the Jedi kill ability. They knew who he was based on one of their earlier abilities, which I will explain below. This was an interesting change in events because I had built up Cyrus to be a main villain of this game. His early death however allowed me to really develop Giovanni as a villain.
Waynegg is a smart guy. I know him in real life and knew he would play this game and this role very well. I also played as his mason partner in Cardzmaster2004’s last Werewolf game. He’s really good at adapting to the situation, and his death was due to the entire Jedi faction figuring out who he was and taking him out. Even so, while he was alive, he played an excellent game, and I look forward to seeing him play in the future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First off, while Giovanni and Cyrus were teammate, they counted only as one Cultists at a time, even when they were both alive. Giovanni’s role was to take over Cyrus’s role when he fell. He had a pseudo detective role as well, but it was random, so he had no control of who it targeted. Cyrus died really early on. This left me to write Giovanni as the main Sith Cult villain. I have to say it was a lot of fun. Giovanni had this touch of craziness that went well with his evilness, and I really enjoyed writing Lightsaber battles with him.
TheKing is another really good player. I knew he and Waynegg would work very well together. TheKing plays like Sandslash7 he’s very active, has an opinion on almost everything and is extremely hard to win an argument against. I can’t remember why, but at some point TheKing straight out admitted to being Giovanni. It was right after Palpatine had died, and I can’t remember the exact reason he admitted to this, but the town didn’t take to kindly to it. They lynched him almost immediately afterward. I can’t help but feel it was a bit of a misplay. Other then that though, TheKing played an excellent game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let me first explain the idea behind the Jedi mechanic. The Jedi were a group of 5 people with identical roles. They were in a mason and could communicate. Up until Night 5, each one would a get a chance to choose from a list of roles that the group would use during the night. Unbeknownst to them, they were also choosing their fates. The two who chose Defend and Seer would become townies. The one who chose kill would turn to the Dark Side and become a wolf or a Sith Cultist. The one who chose manipulate would become an independent, and the one who chose spy had a chance to join any group. The objective behind these roles were “Force Multipliers.” They would be that extra man that a faction needed to win the game, an extra wolf, or a spare townsperson. Until Night 5 they had no alignment, so they played with only survival as a goal. During Night 5, all 5 remembered who they were
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m grouping these three together because of how their roles interact. jpulice, Benson, and Kezzup chose Seer, Defend, and Spy respectively. This got them position of the townie. There roles all would have interacted in some way. jpulicep and Benson had recruiting roles that were directly to counter the Sith Cults. They could target anyone for recruitment. Those who were recruited got a badge. It then became an battle of number between the Sith Cult and the Jedi. The few times they engadged each other in combat, they both had 3 people total, so no one ever won, however had either side had more recruits then the other, said target would have died. The same rules applied in a similar fashion to the Empire. Attacking Palpatine or Darth Pikachu depending both on numbers and whether both of them were alive at the time. jpulicee and Benson could only use their roles on opposite nights, which amounted to 1 recruit per night. If they tried to recruit one another, then they would have found each other, become a mason, and gained a +1 to their numbers by counting each other. Then there is Luke Skywalker. You will notice I did not write a role for Kezzup he died during day 4, so I did’t bother translating my notes on Luke Skywalker to an actual role, but in short his role would have been a number multiplier for the Jedi recruitment. He would have to try and get the attention of the jedi, and if either Benson or jpulice recruited him, their numbers would have gotten a free +2. However his death removed him from the game before he ever got a chance to get his new role.
Kezzup played in previous games, and I’ve seen him to be a good player, but it seemed like he just didn’t give it his all this time. He was lynched based on his inactivity, and its too bad because I’ve seen him play and know he’s a decent player.
jpulice played an excellent game and he almost won it for the Jedi. He went down when the Empire targeted him for death and there was nothing he could do, though I think he had a really cool fight scene. jpulice got Kyle Katarn, who is one of my favorite Star Wars characters. I think this was jpulice’s first game, and if it was, I was really impressed. He played extremely well, and I really enjoyed his insight on the game. He was a really solid player, and played very well. Had the Empire not marked him for death after it was confirmed he was the final Jedi, he would have most likely made it to the end of the game. When Benson died, Kyle Katarn got the ability to Enlist every night instead of every other night.
Benson had really bad luck and he should not have died when he did. Benson received a PM from one the wolves. The wolf had intended to send the message to Benzo and sent it the Benson by mistake. I was in a really bad situation. My first plan was to kill said wolf, and have Benzo take his place, but with the Empire needing the Jedi dead, and Benson knowing the identity of every Jedi, that would not work. I spent a long time trying to figure out what to do and in the end told the wolves that they had to make Benson their night kill. It was a crappy situation, and I apologize to Benson for it, but I’m sure you understand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So before I get too far, let me explain the story of Mr. X to those to who not know. In the first Werewolf game, a certain player (who will remain unnamed) died early on and wasn’t happy. His friend happened to be a wolf, and happened to leave Pokegym open on his laptop one day at league. Said player saw the name of the other wolves and sent a PM to other player under the username “Mr X” telling them the other wolves and inwhat order too lynch them. Since then “Mr. X” has become something of a Werewolf iconic villain. He appears in many games, and in particular, all of my game. So in this case, DarthPika became the independent and got the Dark Lord Mr. X. This was the only “Last Man Standing” role I would permit, and to prevent what happened in my last game, where it dragged on until Mr. X was lynched, I added a special rule stating that if no killing roles were left in the game, Mr. X received one to help speed things along. That didn’t happen however.
DarthPika is a really good player. Really good. He ranks up there with Cardzmaster2004 and Sandslash7. The few times I’ve played against him I stay away from attacking him simply because I don’t win arguments against him. He a really good players, and had he not died Night 5, he might have gone really far. Speaking of his death, I’ll explain this one, because it’s a goodie. Ok so Night 5, Benson decided to use Protect on DarthPika AKA Lucario. The same time, Dave628 uses his priest protection on DarthPika. Now the Jedi defense only workd against physical roles, and could only handle one killing role at a time. So when Giovanni and the Sith showed up after targeting DarthPika, the Jedi stalled and fought them. At the same time the Empire showed up to kill Lucario, but he was protected by a barrier. It was too bad for DarthPika that at this time, the Control Room began to fall apart, and poor Dave628 was killed, which simultaneously dissolved the barrier protecting DarthPika. This allowed the Empire to attack DarthPika who then transformed into The Dark Lord Mr. X and led to a pretty epic fight between Darth Pikachu and DarthPika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh man, this was one of my favorite role of the game. Before I get farther, the fact that gallade got Gallade is 100% coincidence. Anyways, gallade started out as a normal Jedi, but chose the kill option. He killed Darth Cyrus, but lost his way and went down the path of the Dark side Night 5. Also I want to point out that the reason Gallade survived when Dark Gardavoir died was due to that small percentage chance of survival I mention on Dark Gardy. It applied to Gallade too, and he was able to get the roll needed. Anyways. After going to the Dark Side, he adopted a role that required him to attempted to get the attention of either the Empire or the Sith. If they targeted him, he would join their faction and adopt their win condition. There was another way however. If either of those factions lost all of their member before he was targeted, as happened with the Sith Cult. Gallade would automatically join said group. Thus he joined the Sith Cult when Giovanni died, and became the final Sith Member.
gallade almost won. He was so close that during Day 11, I was spending my classes doodling out number on how long it would take him to win. The answer was 1 night. If he wasn’t lynched day 11, and a townie was killed, and he recruited another townie, and the wolf killed a second townie, then gallade would have won the game for the Sith. I really wanted to see him win, I already had the update planned, and was disappointed when he was finally lynched after being so close to victory. gallade played a really good game. He made it to Day 11, and stayed under the radar the entire time. Even though he was Dragonite15’s target multiple times and fell under suspicions many times, he managed to talk his way out of trouble and make it to the very end. To that I say, good *** gallade, good game. You are a smart player, a solid poster, and good at keeping just below the radar. I can’t wait to see you play in future games.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So first off, let me once again thank everyone for playing. It’s been a long game. I had a blast, and hope you did to. I apologize to those who died early on and congratulate those who survived. This was, in my very biased opinion, the greatest Werewolf game Pokegym has ever had. It was certainly the longest lasting at a whopping 102 Pages, 2,545 Posts, 87,706+ views and spanning 251 days. We had 41 players enter the game, and 7 lived to tell the tale. One of the things I’m most proud of in this game is that we did not have a single Random Lynch day (excluding Day 1). Every single lynched was fueled by discussion and lasted until the very end, usually not even getting the majority. There was more debate and discussion in this game then I’ve ever seen before. Every player gave it there all, and I had a blast modding this game. So depending on how often you talk to me, you know this is in fact, my last Werewolf game I will host. As you can tell by the massive delays I had in this game, I simply do not have the free time I used to have. With college and the Army taking up my life right now, I wouldn’t have time to host another Werewolf game even if I wanted to. There’s another issue. I’m completely out of tricks. I pulled out all the stops in this game, but there’s nothing left for me to do. It would be almost impossible for me to top this game. So all in all, I don’t have the time, nor do I have any more ideas for another game.
You might be saying at this point “Wait a minute Absoltrainer, you’re ended is clearly open ended, and set up for a sequel!”
To that I say, you’re right. I can’t do a sequel right now. My life is way to hectic. I don’t plan on doing a sequel either for a long long time. That said, should a time come when I have free-time, ideas, and the motivation to host another Pokegym Werewolf game, I’ll have a theme all set to go. Besides, it will take Arceus a few years to gather his Army anyways = ). I just want to finish by saying that you the players made this happen. I wrote the updates and handled the roles, but you guys shaped the story. I have ideas for updates, but I usually don’t write them until every role is in. You guys shape this story and determine the outcome. Thank you for such an amazing experience.
So that’s it Pokegym. That is Werewolf XV. Congratulations to the victors, and thank you for playing.
Please don’t forget if you made your profile invisible, that you can turn it back to normal
I have just one last thing to ask of you, the players:
1.) Give me your full and honest opinions on the game
2.) Ask any questions you want to ask
3.) Give yourself a round of applause for helping to shape and create this awsome experiance!
Votes to Lynch: 5
Dragonclyne725: 5 Sandslash7, Scottistru, Cardzmaster2004, PokeChampofPokeBeach, JewelQuest
The remaining inhabitants of the Imperial Glory were scattered about the Hanger, the only remaining area of the ship not destroyed or compromised. It had been almost two weeks since the nightmare had started and the Rebels had battled it out with the Empire and the Sith in a fight for survival. As Day 12 neared it’s end, Sandslash7 piled on the evidence against Dragonclyne725 cementing his case against the accused. Dragonclyne725 had been accused of being the last remaining Imperial and of stealing the identity of Diaz who had been one of the first people to die on the Imperial Glory Unable to produce a good counter against Sandslash7, Dragonclyne725’s fate was sealed as the day cycle ended. Sandslash7 stood in front of Dragonclyne725 who sat on the ground, his back against some metal debris.
“You are the last Imperial. You murdered Diaz and stole his identity. The oppression of the Empire ends today!” commanded Sandslash7
The accused man, a normal sized human, rose and began to slowly clap. He addressed Sandslash7.
“I’m impressed assassin. I did not expect you to figure out who I was. Indeed, I am the final Imperial. I needed but one more night to achieve victory. It appears however that due to your meddling, I will have to accelerate my plans.”
Sandslash7 closed his hand into a fist, a cracking noise coming from his popping joints, “The only thing you are going to do, if accelerate to an early grave.”
Dragonclyne725 smirked, “Oh I don’t think so, assassin.”
The Imperial pulled out two round object from his pocket. Thermal detonators, extremely powerful grenades capable of massive destruction. Dragonclyne725 backed up until he was a few feet away from the Imperial Lambda Shuttle, the only functional ship and way off the Imperial Glory .
“Here’s what’s going to happen,” demanded Dragonclyne725, grenades still in his hand. “I want safe passage off this doomed ship as much as all of you do. You take me with you, you drop me off on a planet of my choosing. Refuse and I detonate these grenades. I’ll die, but I’ll take out your only escape with me. The orbit of the Imperial Glory is slowly decaying. Before too long, the ship will begin to descend to the planet below. None of you will survive that. If any of you try to make a move while I am on the shuttle, I will blow us up in midflight. If I’m going down, I will gladly take all of you Rebel scum with me. If however, you do as I say, we can all leave here unharmed.”
Sandslash7 stood still. He was too far away to attempt an attack on Dragonclyne725 and in no position to make demands.
“I--” he started.
He was interrupted before he could finish as a red and blue blur sped between him and Dragonclyne725. The blur stopped and became clear. The Deoxys, thunderjolt stood before them, in his hands were the two grenades that only moments before were in the possession of the Imperial.
“No deal, “spoke thunderjolt
Dragonclyne725 growled and turned to run, but instead came face to face with two loaded pistols. Scottistru and King Piplup stood before him, weapons aimed at his head. Behind him, he heard the crackling of electricity as JewelQuest, the Jolteon, flanked him from the rear. Finally an old man, with a long grey beard, and wearing a brown robe, come up on the Imperial’s right. In his hand was an ignited blue Lightsaber.
The elder man, Cardzmaster2004 addressed the Imperial Dragonclyne725, “I believe it is you, who would be wise to cooperate with us.”
Dragonclyne725 looked around him, surrounded on all fronts, for a way to escape. He saw PokeChampofPokeBeach standing a ways away and called for him. “Wobba Fett, I shall hire you to assist me. I will pay quadruple your normal fee!”
Wobba Fett considered the request, but turned it down, “Sorry, I think I’ll just watch and enjoy the show tonight.”
Sandslash7 now approached the cornered Imperial, a thin blade sliding down from a hidden sheath on his wrist. “The oppression of the Empire ends today.”
Dragonclyne727’s eyes narrowed, and his voice became rasp and dark, “Humans, you know not what you are dealing with. There are forces beyond your comprehension at work.”
The Imperial’s eyes glowed blue and he shouted out “Psychic!”
The people and Pokémon surrounding him were flung backwards by the telekinetic attack. All were surprised and thinking the same thing that Scottistru expressed aloud, “How did he do that? That’s a Pokémon move!”
Dragonclyne725 did not answer, but instead ran to a seemingly indistinct wall. He slammed his fist on the wall, and turned to face his surprised enemies who were just now recovering from his surprise attack. The wall began to shift, and panels moved out of the way exposing robotic arms and machine parts. The contraption began to move, quickly grafting parts to the Imperial’s body. Within moments, Dragonclyne725 was covered in multi-colored square plates of armor ranging from a fiery red, to a watery blue, a grassy green and every color in between. The individual plates morphed and folded around the Imperial, molding to fit his body and creating a body suit of colored armored plates.
Dragonclyne725 spoke, his voice still raspy and low “Humans, your Rebel Alliance has failed. As too have my servants. I will deal with you personally.” He looked at JewelQuest and thunderjolt “And you two. You have betrayed your origins, and thrown yourself in with these sub-creatures. You will die slowly and painfully for your betrayal!”
King Piplup shouted at Dragonclyne725, “ What are you talking about. YOU are a human, you’re crazy!”
“You dare to call me such filth! I am a god! I am eternal. BURN!” cried out Dragonclyne725. The red plate on his chest glowed bright and fire spewed out of both of the palms of his hands.
The flamethrower attack sped towards King Piplup. Sandslash7 tackled King Piplup knocking him out of the way of the attack. Dragonclyne725 roared in anger. The red plated dimmed and a pink plate on his thigh began to glow. Dragonclyne’s eyes glowed blue and Sandslash7 and King Piplup were raised off the ground. Scottistru raised his pistol and opened fire on Dragonclyne725. The pink plate ceased to glow and a silver plate glowed on his right arm. Dragonclyne725 was encased in a steel covering. The bullets from Scottistru’s weapon bounced off the full body shield. JewelQuest screeched a battle cry and a large yellow bolt of lighting shot from her body. The silver plate stopped glowing and the steel covering faded, simultaneously to be replaced by full rock covering as a brown plate started glowing on Dragonclyne725’s stomach. The electric attack had no effect. thunderjolt’s eyes glowed blue as he assaulted Dragonclyne725 with a psychic attack. The attack however had no effect due to the black plate glowing on Dragonclyne725’s left arm and coating him an a dark aura. Sandslash7 charged Dragonclyne, blades in each of his hands. The black plates stopped glowing and was replaced by a glowing pale red-orange plate. Dragonclyne725’s entire body bulked up with huge muscles. As Sandslash7 reached him, Dragonclyne725 reached out and grabbed both blades and squeezed, shattering them with sheer strength. He then picked up and threw Sandslash7 who soared across the hanger until he hit the wall, hard. He was shaking as he tried to stand up again.
Dragonclyne725 spoke, still in the raspy low voice, “You cannot hope to stand against me. Your efforts are futile, your attempts in vain. You are nothing. The human race will fall by my hand!”
A yellow plate glowed on his leg. Electricity sparked over his body, and Dragonclyne725 turned to Cardzaster2004 and launched a thunderbolt at him. Cardzmaster2004 jumped out of the way, avoiding the attack. He jumped at Dragonclyne725 and swung with his Lightsaber. A purple-grey plate glowed, and Dragonclyne725’s body became intangible. The blade passed right through him, not doing any damaged. Dragonclyne725 moved forward, phasing directly through Cardzmaster2004.
Still intangible, he addressed PokeChampofPokeBeach who was clad in green and blue armor, with a jetpack on his back, “Wobba Fett, you have renounced your Pokémon origins. I gave you a chance at redemption, but you refused. For that, you must die!”
Dragonclyne725 rematerialized in solid form as the purple-grey plate stopped glowing. A maroon plate glowed, and claws protruded from Dragonclyne725’s hands. He charged Wobba Fett with incredible Dragon like speed and sliced with razor sharp claws. He missed. PokeChampofPokeBeach jumped and ignited his jetpack, boosting up several more feet before hovering in the air. Dragonclyne725’s plates switched colors again and now a light blue plate glowed. Dragonclyne725 rose into the air and rammed Wobba Fett. PokeChampofPokeBeach faltered, but did not fall. He raised his rifled and shot. The light blue plate abruptly stopped glowing and Dragonclyne725 fell to the ground, dodging the initial laser barrage. Wobba Fett took aim again, but a pale blue plate began to glow, and Dragonclyne725 was crystallized in ice. The laser blast diffused and diffracted in to the crystals and had no effect. The pale blue plate stopped glowing and Dragonclyne725 taunted his enemy’s unsuccessful attempts to attack him, his voice still raspy and low.
“You have failed. You cannot hope to beat me humans. I am perfection. I am the end of evolution, the apex of creation!”
“You’re mad!” countered Scottistru
Scottistru loaded another magazine into him pistol and fired again. The silver plate glowed, and the bullets bounced off Dragonclyne725. Following his lead, the Jolteon, JewelQuest let off a stream of electricity at Dragonclyne725. A brown plated glowed, and scattered parts of his already covered in steel body become rock. Dragonclyne725 grunted in pain and dropped to one knee. Jolteon and Scottistru continued to attack, but despite his visual pain, appeared to be doing no damage to Dragonclyne725.
“ENOUGH!” screamed Dragonclyne725. Both the silver and brown plates stopped glowing, and the pink plate glowed again, as did Dragonclyne725’s eyes. He telekinetically blasted JewelQuest and Scottistru and threw them off their feet. The damage was done however, and the silver plate had a crack running down it’s center.
Sandslash7 called out, “He can only use one plate at a time, everyone attack him at once. Overwhelm him!”
Sandslash7 pulled a sword from his hilt and charged Dragonclyne725. Cardzmaster2004 joined him with his blue Lightsaber blade. PokeChampofPokeBeach raised his rifle and opened fire. Scottistru and King Piplup raised their pistols and shot. JewelQuest unleashed one electrical attack after another, and thunderjolt’s eyes glowed blue as he subjugated Dragonclyne725 to a powerful psychic attack. Almost every plate on Dragonclyne725 began to glow as he was coated in rock and steal, surrounded in dark aura, partly intangible, partly crystallized in ice. His limbs were disproportionately muscular, and fire and water spewed from his hands. Under the strain of trying to counter the simultaneous attacks, the plates started to flicker in their glowing.
Dragonclyne725 screamed in anger and pain, staggering backwards and trying as hard as he could to withstand the onslaught. Bullets pinged his body. The Lightsaber and sword hacked at his plates, and the strain of electrical and psychic attacks, pulled at his armor. Sandslash7 struck at the silver plate, and it shattered into several piece, detaching it self and falling off Dragonclyne725 body. The silver coat that blanketed him dissipated and disappeared. The bullets from Scottistru and King Piplup now had an effect, and a green, and pale green, as well as the brown plate shattered and fell off as the .45 caliber rounds pounded the armor. The rock coating disappeared, and Dragonclyne725 felt the brunt of the electrical attacks from JewelQuest which caused his black plate to break and fall off. Now removed of his dark abilities, he was susceptible to thunderjolt psychic attack and was lifted off the ground and thrown against the wall, hard. He collapsed and lay motionless. The barrage of attacks stopped, and Sandslash7 walked over to Dragonclyne725 to investigate. None of the plates were glowing anymore, and the few remaining plates began to crumble and crack. Dragonclyne725 moaned in pain. He growled in anger and his eyes darted from person to person, but was clearly unable to move. The wall where thunderjolt had thrown Dragonclyne was cracked. Behind it was a bright orange and yellow light. There was no known room behind that wall, and everyone was surprised that any light would be coming from it.
“Doooooo NOT oopen zhat!” Dragonclyne725 demanded in voice that sounded like a damaged electronic. He head fell and his body went limp.
Sandslash7 looked at Dragonclyne725, then at the other Rebels, then back at the wall. He took his sword and pried open the crack, peeling back the metal bulkhead. It creaked and strained, but was not very strong. Behind the wall was a single small room. There was a round table with a yellow grid top. It was a hologram projector, a communications table. On top of the table, materialized in hologram form, was a four legged-creature with a dark face.
Everyone funneled into the room to investigate. Everyone looked, but no one spoke.
Sandslash7 was the first to speak, “What are you?”
The creature on the hologram spoke. It spoke in the same raspy low voice that Dragoncylne725 had begun using during the fight. “Bow down in awe human. I am Arceus, god of Pokémon, perfection in physical form.”
“That voice,” inquired King Piplup, “it’s the same one that Dragonclyne725 spoke in.”
Arceus nodded, “Yes, he was weak, and degraded much faster then the others. My influence began to show sooner then I expected.”
King Piplup was confused, “What are talking about? What others?”
Arceus responded without moving, “The Empire.”
“Wait a minute, you controlled the Empire? You were the one attacking us this entire time?” queried Sandslash7
Arceus responded with no emotion, “Correct.”
“Explain,” demanded Scottistru, “none of this makes sense. The Empire wanted to rule the galaxy. It was headed by a Sith Lord, Palpatine. Dragonclyne725 spoke of killing humans. He spoke as if he wasn’t a human. What about Cyrus and the Sith cult, did you have a role in that as well?”
Arceus turned to face Scottistru, “The one you call Cyrus released me from my prison on Earth by using the power of Dialga and Palkia. He took me to the one know as the Emperor. The Emperor showed me a power called the Dark Side. He explained that Pokémon are affluent with the Force. He sought to control me, to steal my power. However it was I who controlled him. Cyrus knew this and sought an alliance. He was not to be trusted, and so he swore my destruction. It ended up being his demise. I was using this ship to study humans, to study the force, and to prepare for your destruction as a species. When you and your Rebel Alliance arrived, it compromised my plans, and I attacked. Your meddling in these affairs has vexed me to no end. As each leader of the Empire fell, I took control of the next. However, even when given my power, Dragonclyne725 proved that he was nothing but a worthless human, unable to accomplish my tasks.”
“What do you have against humans, why do you want to destroy us?” asked Sandslash7
Arceus became angry, “Humans are imperfect. Humans enslave Pokémon, and use them for their own means. Pokémon are superior. Humans should and will serve us!”
“Humans and Pokémon work together as friends and partners!” counter Sandslash7.
“Lies!” screamed Arceus, “Humans are scum, a cancer on life. Imperfect and unbalanced. They destroy and enslave, abuse and corrupt. I will see to it that every human is dead or enslaved to Pokémon. Pokémon will be the dominate species in the galaxy!”
“That’s not true.” Spoke JewelQuest, “some humans, yes, but not all, not most.”
Arceus addressed the Jolteon, “you have been brainwashed, you and the Deoxys, are traitors to your own kind. You will die with the humans!”
The Imperial Glory shook and Cardzmaster2004 closest to the entrance, peered out into the Hanger. “The orbit of this ship is decaying. We need to leave, now.”
Everyone began to file out of the small room. Sandslash7 however stayed, watching Arceus. King Piplup poked his head back in and told him to hurry.
“Go prep the ship,” said Sandslash7, “I’ll be there in a moment.”
King Piplup nodded and hurried to the shuttle, which now had everyone else aboard.
Sandslash7 turned back to Arceus. “You are misguided. We have just proven to you how strong humans are. We beat you. We beat the Empire, and the Sith. It doesn’t matter if you try to destroy us by yourself or with an army. We have always lived in peace with Pokémon. You will not change that. You won’t turn us against each other. You lost, and should you ever be brave enough to show yourself personally, we will see just how much of a ‘god’ you are. Just remember the loss you suffered here on the Imperial Glory and when you are ready for another one, come and find us. We will be waiting. The word will be out about your plan; the entire galaxy will be looking for you. You don’t have a chance.”
Sandslash7 turned to leave. Arceus said nothing. Sandslash7 was half-way out of the room when he stopped. Arceus addressed him, “Run human, run. You are only delaying the inevitable. Go to your leaders. Tell them of my existence. Tell them of my plans. You cannot stop us. We are coming. Our arrival, our descent will be unstoppable.”
Sandslash7 silently left the room and boarded the ship. Explosions began to rock the Imperial Glory as the planet below’s gravity tugged at it, ripping it to pieces and pulling to towards the ground. Everyone was aboard the Lambda shuttle, which was hovering on repulsorlifts, and positioning itself to leave the Imperial Glory’s hanger. The ship moved forward, passing through the barrier between space and the interior of the hanger. As the shuttle left the Imperial Glory, the amount of damage the cruiser had taken became apparent, what little remain of her was quickly being pulled toward the planet below. The shuttle lingered as King Piplup who was at the controls, calibrated the navigation route. As the Imperial Glory began to disappear, a low raspy voice echoed inside of everyone’s mind, a psychic message. It was Arceus.
“Humans, you have changed nothing. Your species has the attention of those infinitely your greater. That which you know as Pokémon will be your destruction and demise! We are coming.”
Scottistru looked over at Sandslash7, “Did he say ‘we?’”
King Piplup threw the hyperdrive switch and the ship jumped forward into light-speed, cutting off anything else Arceus had planned to say. The small shuttle was on its way back to Rebel Alliance space.
Back on the Imperial Glory Arceus’s image was still on the holo-table. He looked at Dragonclyne725 who still lay at the entrance to the communications room, motionless, but alive.
“You have failed,” claimed Arceus, “we will find another way. Releasing control.”
The image of Arcues faded away. Dragonclyne725 looked around at his surroundings confused and dazed. He looked down at his broken and mangled body with bafflement and then out the shield barrier at the end of the hanger. He saw the planet below getting larger and larger. Explosions shook the ship, which rumbled as it entered the atmosphere. Fire rushed upwards and consumed him.

The Method to my Madness, Werewolf XV, explained.
Well everyone, it’s been over 250 days, and Werewolf XV, Pokémon Wars has finally come to an end. It’s almost hard to believe how ingrained in the story I became, how excited I was to come back from class and see what had happened. How the players had changed and molded the story based on their actions. Throughout this entire game I could never tell who was going to win. I will explain more in detail later, but had the town made a single mistake, the Sith Cult were going to win. I actually already had the Sith win update planned out if it happened. The same thing happened with the last wolf. Had Dragonclyne725 managed to survive the day, then the wolves automatically won. Again, I had prepared for their victory and had prepared a victory scene. This was amazing game, and I want to thank everyone for playing and participating. Here is what I’m going to talk about here. First I will explain roles, show the full unedited versions and give a brief explanation of their rules and abilities, and reasons for designing them as I did. Then I will give my opinion on how each player did with there role. Finally a few closing comments.
WEREWOLF XV RULES, ROLES, AND PLAYERS
I was originally not set for another werewolf game for some time after my last one. Cardzmaster sent me a message asking me if I wanted to the 15th game. I eagerly accepted and planned on making it a game to remember I created the Werewolf XV role document in Microsoft Word on January 15th 2011. That’s 6 months and 4 days from the beginning of my game. My game went through so many tweaks and changes that I actually had separate word documents to write notes on characters and factions as I wrote them so I could keep track of what I was doing. The game got so complex for me at times that I would have to write myself notes on things I might come up with so I could remember to take certain factors into account later on. I ran ideas by players, I sent PMs asking for there opinions. Many of you may remember a PM I sent asking if players would like a big or little game, lots of players or not many. Multiple factions or fewer. I sent that PM to roughly 45 people. I took all of there responses into account while making this game. I ran ideas by veteran players, but was able to remain vague enough to not give anything away. I spent hours on MafiaScum and the Mafia Wiki. I read all of the Pokegym games, and even a few games on other forums. I wanted to make this game for the players. I like to think I accomplished that. The game preformed beyond my expectations and I have the players to thank for that. I knew immediately I wanted a Star Wars theme. In fact I had planned on one when I wrote the epilogue to my second Werewolf game. It was around that time everyone got new avatars. Among those were my Jedi Lucario, Z-man’s Jedi Gallade, and DarthPika, Darth Pikachu. All of which became characters in my game, and were the basis for most of my storyline development. I combined the character and universes of Star Wars and Pokémon in a way that everyone, even people not fans of Star Wars could enjoy.
ROOMS: Why?
So before I explain roles, it will help to understand my rooms or “area” mechanic. One of the biggest things that bugged me in Werewolf was that if I put too much information in the updates, it gave away roles, but made for a great. If I put too little, it became boring and stale. I wanted a way for people to use updates to figure out who other players were without relying only on detective or seer roles. The room mechanic would allow players to use room location as evidence against and for one another. It brought a whole new angle into the game. I searched and found only a couple of game that had tried this idea before, but with little success. Rooms also allowed for new types of roles to be created. Area effect roles and roles that relied on or involved rooms became central in my role design process. With 41 players, rooms also divided up the night into smaller, more manageable groups. Having 41 roles take place in the same place would be crazy to try and shift through in an update as well as to write. I said in the beginning of my game that the room mechanic was an experimental idea and I was unsure of how it would go. I am proud to say that it preformed beyond my expectations and if I ever host another Werewolf game, it will feature the room mechanic. I loved it and think it added a different flavor and twist to the game. It wasn’t until the final stage of my game that I decided to plan events and situations in which the rooms of the ship were slowly removed as the players were reduced in number. This was akin to my infamous super events where all hell breaks lose, usually on night 4. See Magikarp evolving and Arceus being released in my previous games. The way the events worked were partially pre-planned. The Hanger would never be destroyed because that would remove any hope of escape from the ship. Two rooms would be destroyed on night 5. Another room when Palpatine was killed, and two others based on the number of players remaining at the end of a night or day phase. I tried to be creative in how the rooms would go. Death by room destruction was based on some equation that I’m not entirely sure how I came up with. It took the number of players, and the number of players in the room to be destroyed and gave a percentage chance that every person had of dying in that room based on that proportion. However I had certain parameters restricting the number of people who could die at the same time via the same room destruction and based those ranking on who hit the higher percentage in a dice roll. Somewhere along the line someone suggested that the rooms being destroyed was a time limit to the end of the game. I loved that, and the fact that almost everyone believed it made me happy. It added a level of suspense to the game. As rooms were destroyed, it forced players to a smaller space and thus area of effect roles became more powerful as time went on, and it became easier to pinpoint who was where each night. That being said, I threw several curveballs to keep people from finding some way to abuse the rooms to perfectly figure out who was who and where they were really early on. Some characters were undetectable in rooms and would appear as “shadows.” Other players could appear in multiple rooms, and other still would perform actions in a room, then leave and hide in another. This I believe balanced out the room mechanic and made it work. As some point I planned on making a map of the Imperial Glory but that idea was scrapped. That being said, in the first night update, I clearly explained where each room was. Later on when creaking was heard above the mess, I had hoped players would be able to figure out that the Control Room was in danger. I dropped multiple hints like this throughout the game. In fact almost all my updates had some sort of cryptic clue in it. So that explains the rooms, now I can talk about roles.
ROLES: The most important part of the game.
The roles of this game were definitely my proudest achievement. I believe them to be some of the best roles I have ever come up with. . They are a combination of roles from past werewolf games, both my own and others and my own design. I took several tips and ideas from other mods. So let me first explain something that came up a few times. How did players in my game receive there role? Was it random? Did I assign roles? In my last game, I had to adjust for the massive amount of new players, but this game brought a healthy balance of new and old, veteran and inexperience. So everyone randomly received a number. That number put them in one of 6 categories; Empire, Rebel, Pokémon, Independent, Cultist, Jedi. From that point each group received random numbers that either assigned them a role in that group or recycled them out to the next group below them. Example, seven people got into the Empire faction, but only the ones with the highest six numbers got to stay. The lowest roller was sent down to the town faction below. This may seems overly complicated, but it allowed my see general groups formed before roles were assigned to each individual player. So after this, every player had been assigned one of six factions, but not an actual role. By doing this, I was able to see what players would be in what groups before they got there roles. This was to prevent clumps of power or veteran players. There were no major or worrisome clumps in groups and thus no changes were necessary. At this point each person in the faction was randomly assigned a role within there already randomly assigned faction. Every role was assigned randomly. For all random number assignment, role flips, storyline percentages, and other dice rolls or percentages, I used: http://www.random.org/
So about the roles themselves. I wanted a very even balance of Pokémon and Star Wars. Thus the reason for that excel spreadsheet show in the video above. I made a list of every character, the universe they were from, whether they were force affluent or not, and whether they would be visible in rooms or not. I also noted how there roles and the room mechanic worked. Whether they chose a room, or followed a player, or were restricted to rooms. The only time I ran into a problem with this was when I had a circle of players target each other and all of them had “follow target to their area” as there room mechanic operation. This forced me to randomly choose of them to choose the room they would operate in, so that the other roles would have a base of operations as well. This was the “role paradox” I referred to during night 10 or something like that. At any rate, I’ve gotten off topic a bit. The roles were split. There was roughly a 50-50 split in Pokémon and Star Wars characters. There was also a 50-50 split in force users and non force users. I also decided to stick to only movie based character, or extended universe characters that were very well known. I wanted to try and avoid spoilers on the Star Wars side. In fact I originally had Jacen and Jainia as characters in the game, but took them away because I felt they were too unknown. I had Mara Jade and Kyle Katarn though, so I suppose that is a moot point. I also wanted to establish a bit of a coherent timeline. Obviously it takes place in an alternate universe, and thus certain characters were alive at the same time that otherwise shouldn’t be, but I think it lined up very well. As for Pokémon. I originally had N as a character, but at the time, BW was still relatively new, and people were still playing the game, so I opted to not use him or and BW Pokémon because people were still getting used to them. At some point I decided that all Pokémon, with a few exceptions would be Force Sensitive, I used this a plot point to explain their powers later on, and relevance with the Star Wars universe.
As you all probably noticed, every character had a main alignment group, and then a subset of groups. Darth Pikachu for example was Empire aligned, but was also a Pokémon, a Dark Jedi, and a Force User. The inclusion of these sub-groups allowed me to tailor win conditions. It created separate rivalries and battles within the game. Pokémon Hunter J for example needed all Pokémon to be killed. Cyrus and Giovanni needed the Jedi and other Dark Jedi eliminated as part of their win condition. This meant that there could still be active Empire alive, but so long as the Jedi, Darth Pikachu, and Palpatine were dead, the win condition could be achieved. The Force Sensitivity played less of a role then I had originally intended. Originally the Sith Cult and Jedi could only recruit Force Sensitives, this however was changed during Night 1 when I realized that it made the win condition of some groups too hard to achieve. Obviously it still held some use though. At one point someone figured out all Pokémon were supposed to be Force Sensitive. Jedi and Dark Jedi were also naturally Force Sensitive, and using these subgroups allowed for players to have another way to find clues and evidence. It also made character easier to manage from a mod standpoint.
So now you understand the room mechanic and the role subgroups, but what about the actual roles themselves? Here is every role, uncensored and unedited, as it was sent to the player via PM. Along with the role is a sort explanation on how the role worked, and how the player played using said role. Anything listed under ***XXXX Notes*** was information hidden from players and known only to me. The following information is from my point of view, watching the game as a mod. I have no intention of offending anyone, so if you don’t like what I wrote about you, I apologize in advance.
WOLVES
1.
So right off the back you’ll notice that the Alpha Wolf role is huge. Not only that, but he give neutral reads on seering and detectives, and has a vote manipulation ability. He also does not show up in rooms as an occupant. At first look, this character is extremely over-powered. Only, he’s not. One thing I learned from watching and modding werewolf games is that the wolves need power. This is best expressed by Lucario ex’s game. She gave every wolf a power. The wolves were closer to victory in that game then any other game I’ve seen. I liked that, and as I player her game, I incorporated her ideas into my game. To that I give my thanks Lucario ex. I found some statistics involving the number of detectives and seers, and the number of wolves and found just how slim the wolves’ normal chances of victory are. So to that point I pumped up the wolves with extra abilities and powers. Palpatine’s third ability can be transferred to Darth Pikachu if he is alive when Palpatine dies. This was because the role become more powerful as the wolves are losing, so it was logical to make it a pass-down role. During night 5, Palpatine gained a secondary kill ability. The reasons for this was to help thin out the game a bit and scare the town. The ability however failed to hit due to the criteria requited of it. I believe that with the upgrades all the wolves in this game had, they had at least a 50% chance of victory. This can be proven by the fact that the wolves almost won. I’ll explain more later, but I had actually assumed they would win at some point. I liked writing battle scense with Palpatine. Palpatine isn’t just evil, he enjoys being evil, he’s passionate about it. He has fun being a complete and utter evil jerk. I had a lot fun writing him in updates.
Ikrit played his character perfectly. He stayed under the radar for the most part, and managed the wolves in an interesting tactic that I really liked. He told me the he treated the wolves like unknowns in every instance except when night rolled around. He chose to disassociate himself with his team so that he would not appear biased. I liked that strategy. Even after being accused of being Palpatine, Ikrit managed to talk his way out of being lynched. In the end Ikirt went down when both the Sith Cult and the Jedi gained a special kill ability that only worked on Jedi or Dark Jedi. They both chose to attack him on the same night. This unintentional choice allowed me to write one of the most awesome updates ever. They chose to target him because someone (I can’t remember who) straight up pinpointed Ikrit as a wolf, specifically Palpatine. I think it was Scottistru, but they somehow figured out exactly who Ikrit was. I know he got a neutral detective read on Ikrit and found that interesting. Specifically he got the PM “You receive no information,” but I remember him being excited by that PM. Whoever that was, please explain how you figured that out. All in all, Ikrit in an amazing player. I really enjoy his play style and tactics. He played a great game, and lost more on being targeted by the wrong roles at the wrong time, then anything else. Good job Ikrit

While not having a real role other then being a wolf (and receiving Palpatine’s vote manipulation bearing Palpatine’s death) Darth Pikachu played a vital part in this game. Not only was this character one of the very base ideas and character for the creation of this game, but hit presence was extremely important to the storyline. He was as main of a villain as Palpatine was. He was the one killing people when the wolves attacked. When he died, it gave a huge sense of relief to the town. Darth Pikachu was also another Dark Jedi and Pokémon, his death advanced several people’s agendas. I also had fun writing about Darth Pikachu. I turned him into the biggest killing machine in this game. He not just killed his opponent, he made them suffer. During the short time he was alive, I feel like he really developed as a character. When Darth Pikachu dies, he drops a Lightsaber. During the day he died, Spirtomb, one of Napoleon’s Pokémon was in effect. This allowed Napoleon to automatically claim the Lightsaber. The Lightsaber offered protection against Jedi and Dark Jedi attackers as well as a general defense against the Empire. The Lightsaber actually has different effects depending on the faction of the player who picks it up. In this case a town member picked it up ad gained a defense bonus.
Time For Pain who originally held the role was unable to play as long as I hoped. That’s too bad because TFP is a really good player and I like his style. He did however manage to stay under the radar during his time. This allowed Cabd to enter the game without too much problem. Cabd however was new to Werewolf and this was his first WW game (correct me if I’m wrong on that.) He hit a suspicious note early on for having jumpy actions and saying a couple of off things. In the end he was lynched, but that’s not to say he did a bad job. If this was his first game, then he did very well, especially considering he jumped into the game late, and had such an important role. Regardless of his experience, he was able to talk his way out of being lynched several times before the hammer finally fell.

Oh man. This role was one of my favorites. In fact this is the role that almost won the game for the wolves. So before I get to that, let me explain the role. This is essentially a steal the image of another person. Dragoncylne725 used this role during the first night and the first wolf kill. It ended up being Diaz who took the first bullet and Dragonclyne725 adopted the guise of Lance. Just like with Palpatine, this prevented Seers and Detectives from seeing his true nature and in fact, they would see townie. Now some might call this role unfair, but there are more factors then seen. As you can see on the note, if hit with more then one information role the disguise breaks. This isn’t just the 4 major seers/detectives. All the one night only, and psudeo detective and seer roles fall under this rule. In fact there were a couple of nights a role block or a priest prevented a second seer or detective from breaking through the disguise. Also had the first kill been a cultist or an independent, then so too would the Imperial Agent’s alignment appear to be. This role was fun. It’s deceptive. The wolves killing one of their own just messes with everyone. I’d like to say I wrote it well, though as the game progressed, I started to feel like I made it too obvious Diaz was a rebel. That said, I don’t regret what I wrote. It clearly did the job until the last day of the game. Regardless of this, Dragonclyne725 managed to pass the lie detector tests, and fool the entire town into believing he was a townsperson until the very end. I said this role almost won the game for the wolves. Had the town lynched anyone other then Dragonclyne725 on Day 12, the wolves would gave automatically won. There were 6 townies alive, 1 Independent with a “survive until the game ends condition” and 1 wolf. The wolves were that close to winning this game. In fact, I prepared for (and kinda hoped) they would win. I had a really cool ending scene planned out, but the wolves were finished in a very exciting final day. This is what I meant by “wolves need power.” The Imperial Agent is more or less immune to normal detective and seer sweeps, which means his downfall has to come from someone getting them to crack or catching them in a lie. I was really impressed by how this role played out.
Dragonclyne725 himself played amazingly. I believe 100% that the wolves would have won if just a few things had gone different. If Diaz had not been the first target, then when Napoleon died, the difference in roles would not have been able to have been used as evidence. This was a big part of Dragonclyne725 fall. His fake role didn’t match up to my normal style for Pokémon Trainers and when Cynthia fell, he had no defense. That being said, had Dragonclyne725 opted to kill Sandslash7 then not only would the role comparison not been made, but those huge posts might not have been made and Dragonclyne725 may have lived to fight another day. I don’t believe that PokemonFreak5’s words about Dragonclyne725 were that big in his downfall. At that point DC725 was passing seers and detective scans, and the evidence against his was circumstantial. That being said, I think PokemonFreak5 cast unnecessary attention on him. All in all, Dragonclyne725, you played an amazing game. You survived longer then any wolf in the history of Pokegym Werewolf, and you almost brought the first victory ever to the wolves. The only way I can describe your loss is that you flipped too many tails. You did good, you played extremely well and I congratulate you.

This was another really fun role. It was a really powerful disruption role, with a really powerful counter. So if you are familiar with my previous Werewolf game, you’ll recognize this role immediately. I always gave the wolves a control pad person. The difference this time being that button is an area effect role. Combined with the room mechanic, this role started out relatively ineffective and more a nuisance to the town, and became progressively more powerful and deadly. As you can see from the notes, so long as Han Solo was alive, the Imperial Officer’s role effectiveness was reduced and he was at risk. Even once Han Solo died, the mechanic’s bag would never be removed from play unless a wolf claimed it. As with previous versions of this role, the control pad could be picked up by anyone if the Officer died and each button had a one time use. The final button had multiple effects depending on the situation. If the Imperial Officer had it and managed to survive until every button was used, as happened here, he got to choose between using all the buttons at the same time in a super role, setting a bomb off somewhere, or holding the button until he died and detonating it upon death. Had Han Solo not been alive when PokemonFreak5 died, he would have taken out 2-3 people when his bomb blew up. Instead Arcanine/Arbok Master as Han Solo was able to sacrifice himself to prevent the extra killing. If a townie had the remote when the last button activated, they got access to the “use every button at the same time” role only and not the bomb ones. Until his death, PokemonFreak5 and Han Solo never actually used there roles in the same rooms.
When this game first started, I was under the impression that PokemonFreak5 was a new player. I later realized how experienced he really was. PF5 played a good game as evidenced by how long he lived. His down fall was due to Redados1 killing himself to reveal PF5’s wolf alignment. When he went down, he cast unnecessary attention on Dragonclyne725 but I don’t believe that really affected Dragonclyne725 lynch. I like the way PF5 plays. He’s subtle and stays under the radar, but posts very detailed and informative posts. He’s a good player, and it took a seer committing suicide to take him out. His posts were persuasive. If not for the damning evidence of the seer, he probably would have talked his way out of the lynch. Over all I was very pleased with how this character fit into the game and how he was played.

Being a sibling sucks in Werewolf. There are great opportunities to abuse and manipulate being a sibling, especially if you are wolf, but have 2 or 3 multiplier in your death probability sucks. You have to protect others, and it can be a pain. That’s why I added the secret 15% survival rate. This is the same reason Gallade survived when Dark Gardevoir died. Other then that, there’s nothing to exciting about this role. The sibling triagle is between a townsperson, a wolf, and a Jedi. The Jedi being the equivalent to wildcards in this game. I don’t know about behind the scenes chats and stuff, but I didn’t see this mason group really be too effective or make much of an impact.
I don’t have much to say on Blitzer. He died too early to really do that much or for me to get a read on him, and his death was the combination of a Napoleon’s kill role, and the Garchomp someone picked up off of Lance’s body making everyone shift targets with an earthquake. It was cruddy luck, and it happens. Sorry you went out so early Blitzer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Again I have a wolf with a defensive role. This one defended against anyone with a Force Sensitive subgroup in there role. This is a pretty normal defensive role. I think the purge trooper is awesome, and Benzo had one of the coolest death fight scenes of game. I gave it a speech impediment because most werewolf games have townies with speed impediment. I like speech impediment. They mess with everyone because of how easy they are to fake, they also drive everyone completely nuts when half the players are using them, either falsely or because of their role. I liked this one because of how ambiguous making robot sounds really was.
This role belonged to Marshstomp who signed up, acknowledged his role then proceeded to stop playing. I don’t really understand the logic in that, but whatever. I like Benzo. I just get a good vibe from him. He was one of the first people to sign up…but asked to be signed up as a replacement despite there being more then 10 open spots at the time. He was brand new to the game and wanted to watch a bit before joining in. He got his chance and was thrown into the game, as a wolf no less. He did fantastic. For a new player, he adapted almost instantaneously. He used his speech impediment to his advantage claiming to be a good robot, and was able to post enough to not attract attention. His posting as well, despite being a new player was surprisingly sound. Benzo died because gallade just out of the blue claimed he was a wolf, and everyone voted for him. Later on jpulice claimed that gallade didn’t really know Benzo was a wolf, he just really had a hunch and told everyone he had a pseudo seer role so they would believe him. gallade if I am wrong on this let me know, but if I am correct, then you identified Benzo as a wolf, and convinced the town to vote him completely on a gut feeling. I won’t criticize what works. Bad luck Benzo but I want you to know that for the time you were alive, you played fantastic. Especially for your first Werewolf game.
Final Notes on the wolves
You will notice how much defensive power I put on the wolves. This biggest reason for this is that given statistics, seers and detectives will destroy any chance a wolf has a winning. By evening those odds, I tremendously increased the survivability of the wolves. I don’t think the wolves were over-powered Especially with all the factions they were fighting against. I don’t think the wolves were too weak either. I think this was just right for them.
The wolves played a fantastic game. They almost won. There downfall was also a good mix of bad luck, being called out for mistakes, and being out maneuvered. I cannot find a single thing I would have changed out the wolves’ strategy and tactics. Had they gotten just a tad luckier, there is no doubt that they would have won this game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TOWNSPEOPLE
7.
This is a pretty typical seer role, but adjusted for the room mechanic. Instead of being to search anyone, this seer could search any room, see everyone in the room (except shadows) and then choose one of those people to seer. This would turn out to be very useful for the town. As you can see, if Redados1 had run into the Alpha werewolf, a new event would have happened. If Redados1 or Obi-Wan-Kenobi had found each other, there ability to seer would have gone up immensely. Again this did not happen. While the character had a very useful role, the player however ran into quite a few, complications.
Redados1 got really excited really early on. He role revealed first chance he had. It would make him a target for the role reveal assassin, Sandslash7 which I will discuss later. The short version is that under penalty of death via Sandslash7’s role, he could not reveal anything more about his role, his targets, or results. Not even the room he was in. This would prove to be a huge burden on him, but also a bit of blessing. It forced him to keep quiet, and under the radar, which in turn let him live long enough to pin a wolf. He broke his silence seal to reveal Pokemonfreak5 wolfness but activated Sandslash7’s role who then proceeded to kill him. Beyond this limitation, Redados1 was targeted twice in a role by Ikrit’s vote manipulation role. Redados1 was restricted in some way almost the entire game. In the end though, he survived a while, and took out a wolf. That’s a victory in my book.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.
Nothing too exciting about this role. Pretty standard seer role with a few modifications to make it interesting. Cardzmaster2004 never found Yoda (Redados1) so his secondary effect never kicked in.
Cardzmastser2004 is THE Werewolf veteran on Pokegym. He brought Werewolf to Pokegym. Everyone knows what a great player he is. I was a little disappointed at how inactive he was this game, though I totally understand why. Not only was he really busy with real life, but he had adopted (testing?) a more passive play style that is more akin to Time For Pain or Armodak (does he still even play Pokémon?) I can’t criticize him too much though because despite having a huge target on his back for simply being Cardzmaster2004 he managed to survive the entire game. That being said, his role was near useless. He got priest protection so often it rarely went through. When he wasn’t protected, his role failed, or he was role-blocked. When it did get through, he would seer someone who ended up dying the same night. That’s exaggerating a bit, his role didn’t fail every night, but it certainly failed quite a bit. I can’t critique this guy, I learned everything I know about Werewolf from him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
9.
Standard Priest/Doctor role. Note however how in the notes how I handled the wolf situation. Each wolf was assigned a number on the power ladder, 1-6. If the less powerful wolves were taken in, the kill was stopped. Nurse Joy can kill the alpha if she gets lucky. I think this was pretty fair, I think it prevented a kill once, but I can’t remember.
I like Toxictapian, he done his homework. He got into werewolf and immediately started playing game on MafiaScum and other website. He’s a good player, a really good player. He posts very well, and writes well. He has a strong tone when he types. That’s one of the reasons he’s so dangerous, and I would love to see him play as a wolf. He posts in a similar style to DarthPika. It’s funny because both of them bashed each other’s opinion or arguments all the time to me on aim when I talked to them. I stand by that they have the same personality. Reguardless, good game Toxictapian you played well enough that the wolves wanted you dead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
10.
Another pretty standard preist/doctor role. This one used the Force Sensitive sub-group. Where as Toxictapian could remotely protect his target, Dave628 had to follow them.
Dave628 died because he was the unlucky winner of the Control Room collapse lottery. Over all he played very well, and posted very well. I was under the impression that Dave628 was a new player (correct me if I am wrong.) If so then I am even more impressed. He player like an experienced player, and didn’t make any mistakes…well except choosing to go to the Control Room on Night 5. Good job Dave sorry about the bad luck.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
11.
The room mechanic let me get really creative with detective roles. I really liked this role. Just like Redados1 it used the room mechanic to dictate who could be a possible target instead of choosing any target, but with the advantage of seeing who was in a particular room during the night. Getting to appear as a shadow and getting to automatically see who was not Force Sensitive or not made up for the lack of choice of target and the 35% chance of seeing Force Sensitives, who made up roughly 50% of the characters.
jellyfisher played one heck of a game. I had him pegged as a newer player, with maybe one game’s worth of experience. I truly expected him to be gone in the first few day or nights, but he showed me just how good he was. He was really good at analyzing posts, and finding evidence in them. He is also really good at taking that evidence and backing up his arguments. Even when his arguments were wrong, he was persuasive in his thoughts. He’s a good posters, but keeps that air of not quite a threat. The wolves chose him as a target because of how good he was at posting and analyzing data. jellyfisher is for sure a player to look for in future games.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12.
Standard Detective role with a slight modification. It didn’t really matter as the clue was lost only once, maybe twice, but I only remember it happening once, and another time when Leafeon copied Looker’s role. This is actually a good place for me to explain how I determine what the detective see when they target someone. The results a detective receive are different depending on the mod, and there is a lot of debate on what is too much. I give my detective information relevant to the target’s current activities during that particular night. Depending on the situation, I may include a bit of description on what the target looks like.
Wow, Scottistru, you impressed me big time. Let’s look at this. Elite_4_Allen drops out the game right after successfully making himself look super suspicious. Scottistru gets put in, and immediately turns his reputation around. I was really impressed by how well you played Scottistru. You are a good poster, a solid player, and a persuasive writer. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing you in future games.

This role is my baby. This role did in this game what I failed to make it do in my last game. It limits role-revealing. Before I go further, let me explain. I am not against role-revealing. If I was, I would ban it from my game (which I can do.) However I think it is abused, and over-used. It should be a last ditch gamble, not a get out of lynch free-card. Thus the Role Reveal Assassin. The job of the RRA is to be suspicious of any and all role reveals. He has a high chance of killing a liar if he catches one. If the revealer is telling the truth, they are silenced from talking about there role anymore or risk death. This is what happened to Redados1 and at one point to jellyfisher. It’s a very powerful role that can be extremely helpful, or extremely hurtful to the town. It has to be used cautiously. Even if no effect happens, the RRA still learns if his target is truthful or not. After Redados1 was hit, it was very clear that something was punishing role-reveals, and I think it reduced the number and speed of role reveals and made them more a risky move, then a casual post. At first Sandslash7 was just a nameless assassin, but as the game advanced, I bought and played all the assassin creed games, and Sandslash7’s evolved into one of the Assassin’s Creed assassin. He wasn’t specifically Enzio, but he was an assassin.
Sandslash7 is like Cardzmaster2004, he is a veteran, and such a power player, and such a good player, that I am more impressed that he survived all the way until then end, then with his playing. Though, he also played as flawlessly as ever. I’m really surprised the wolves did not off him sooner. When I was a wolf, Sandslash7 always made my “kill ASAP” list. Sandslash7 is good, really good. He posts smartly, analyzed everything, and is as big of a Star Wars nerd as I am. If anything that made him the most dangerous and advantaged player in this game. As always Sandslash7 you showed just how good a player you are.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
14.
You may be wondering, why Batman? I always have some really out of place character in my games such as Yu-Gi-Oh, or Bobba Fett, or the Pink Panther Detective guy. In this case it was Batman. This was a pretty typical vigilante role. I added an extra rule about killing too many townies which would cause suicide. I also gave a chance of not killing townspeople. Especially with all the extra factions running around, 100% killing wasn’t needed on this role. I also included an information gathering role which would show who was in the room, but target a victim at random. The second option was not used once, perhaps it was too risky?
I’m not sure exactly how Lil_Magma played. He posted 3 times in the entire thread. I’m guessing his goal was to gather as little attention as possible. I would say this backfired, because people noticed how little he had posted. I can’t really say anything because he didn’t really post anything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
15.
This is your typical Tank/Speech Impediment role. All defense, but with a handicap of being only able to post small posts.
Akane did one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. She disguised her speech impediment…with a fake speech impediment…which simultaneously revealed her role…without actually role revealing. That whole posting in Shyriiwook was 100% her own creation. It took me completely by surprise. I thought it was absolutely fantastic. A really cool move. Akane also proved that she was just as good at playing Werewolf as she was at enhancing roles. I have no doubt that she would have survived until the end of the game if she hadn’t been unlucky enough to be the only person in the mess when it collapsed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
16.
Han Solo is the direct counterpart and rival to the Imperial Officer. It was his job to specifically counter the Control pad. I gave him a speech impediment simply because I felt I needed another one in the mix. My choice for his speech impediment may have been slightly flawed. I can see the argument for him being cocky and confident, but I will forever associate Han Solo for being a downer before he becomes confident. Besides if you read the extended universe, you’ll realize just how often the writers have Han Solo say something really pessimistic only have Leia elbow him in the stomach or step on his foot to tell him to shut up. The role could block the Imperial Officer, and if the trap was used, outright kill him. The role itself never really came into effect. Han Solo and the Imperial Officer never actually chose the same room on any night. Even all 3 traps failed to hit the Imperial Officer. Han Solo however saved several lives when his time finally came.
I remember getting a PM from Arcanine/Arbok Master a while back saying he had read every Werewolf game page for page and couldn’t wait to play. That was before Lucario ex’s game, so it’s been more then a year. I am happy to say that AAM has proven himself to be an amazing player. Ironically he pegged PokemonFreak5 and Dragonclyne725 at various parts of the game as wolves, but at the time his accusations fell on deaf ears. When he finally went down, it was because one of his hidden rules activated. AAM sacrificed himself to stop PokemonFreak5’s suicide bomb that otherwise would have killed 2-3 people. AAM is really good at writing, and thinks logically. He’s another player I expect to see big things from in the future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
17.
This is another defensive type role, this time based on being killed. It adds another item to the mix, but other then that is pretty straightforward.
Pikajew1213 really didn’t do anything too spectacular. He was only in the game for a short time, and by the time he joined, the game had entered its final stages. There really wasn’t much for him to do except keep the role alive. He ended up dying in a room explosion event that was completely luck based.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
18.
This was a really fun Area Effect role. Its main job was to throw certain people into the spotlight against there will. It also had the effect of showing where a certain person was during the night. It has the ability to clear a person, or make them really suspicious. The second role can really cause a lot of disruption and chaos.
I like Jason. He’s always a bit of wild card in these games. People always go after him, and he sometimes makes some really odd moves, but he isn’t a bad player. He likes to stay really quiet, but he’s not afraid to voice his opinion. He is also, as far as I know one of the few players to have played in EVERY Pokegym werewolf game. Jason did not get lynched this time however. He died when the Empire attacked Leafeon. They activated Leafon’s ability to absorb an attacker’s role which gave Baby Mario a killing role. Unfortunately baby mariotarget was Jason and thus he took down another townie as he died.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
19.
This role is almost identical to the Crazy Scientist, except that this character appears a shadow in rooms. Just like the Scientist, the Crazy Prisoner’s role is to speed the game along. Throw people into the spotlight. Clear them of suspicion, or put them up for questioning. In a game of this size, these roles are essential. Without it, the game can get stale, and create dead ends for the day.
Dragonite15 played a good game. I feel like he could have been more aggressive when he was fighting for his life, but he didn’t play badly. When he finally got lynched, he had been caught lying about his role, and instead of fighting for his innocence, he just gave up. That being said, a few people actually took his submission as proof he wasn’t a wolf. It was unfortunate that he was unable to convince the rest of the town. Despite all that, he didn’t make any real mistakes, he just couldn’t convince the town.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
20.
This role is a lot like my other Pokémon Trainer roles. It’s a variety role that can be used to fit the situation at hand. It’s a powerful role that is countered by the fact that if the other trainer, uses a role in the same room, only one will prevail. To a lesser extent, this applies to Pokémon as well, excluding Darth Pikachu and Dark Gardevoir, in which the Pokémon can fight the trainers for role usage. That didn’t happen very often. Only twice if I recall correctly. It’s also balanced by the fact that each Pokemon can only be used once each rotation. So after 6 nights of successful Pokémon usage, the cycle starts over again. When he died, he dropped five poke balls.
Diaz was the first to go during Night 1. It sucks, but it happens. It has happened to me before, and it sucks, but it happens. I will say that going off my last game, Diaz is crazy good. I can’t pinpoint exactly why, but I think it’s the tone in which it writes. It’s very persuasive, but at the same time aggressive and strong. The reason he was the first to go was based on how much a threat he was. I talked to Ikrit on aim during this game, and he told me Diaz was too dangerous to keep alive. Ironically however, Diaz’s death would be the reason the town beat the wolves. During Diaz’s death, Dragonclyne725 copied his character and became Lance. Had Diaz not been the strange wolf self kill, then the town would not have been able to compare Cynthia’s role to the supposal role of Dragonclyne725 and there is a high chance the wolves would have won because Sandslash may not have been able to bring enough proof against Dragonclyne725.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
21.
This role is almost identical to Lance, but with different Pokémon and effects.
Napoleon is good at this game. Really good. He’s cold and calculating. He talked his way out of being lynched several times, and was one of the driving forces for the town’s victory. His posts are solid, his written tone is confident, and he is very subtle when he needs to be. I honestly thought Napoleon was a new player when this game started, but before day 1 was over, I realized just how experience he really was. Napoleon strikes me as the kind of player I would be tricked into attacking during the day if I were a wolf, then losing horribly and having myself lynched. I’m really surprised the wolves allowed him to live as long as he did. He’s good, and I easily recognize him as a power player.

I’m going to discuss these three roles together because of how they interact.
This role is a bit complex, so bear with me. This role is based 100% on the room mechanic. The idea being that if the three work together as a team, the role can be extremely powerful, or it can spread them out for a lesser chance on more people. As the game progresses and rooms begin to disappear, this role would become much, much stronger. It was unfortunate, that Day 1, MagneBoar died, reducing the effectiveness of the role before the game even started, and Night 3, ultimatedra was targeted by the wolves. This left King Piplup who was the third replacement for this role I might add alone, without a team, and a role that only a third as effective as it should have been. As a result this role did almost nothing, except a few people being beaten up, and the occasional interrogation.
ultimatedra told me he is a D&D player. That means role-playing is his turf. Despite being new, he picked up on this game instantly, and also began trying to figure out any loopholes there might be. I can’t be mad cause I do the exact same thing when I play these games haha. ulti had it rough, he lost a team member day 1 and had a second team member that was completely inactive (and would be replaced twice.) He was taken out rather early which was odd considering this was his was only his first (or second maybe) werewolf game. That just goes to show how much of a threat he was appearing to be for the wolves. In the short time he played, he played very well.
King Piplup replaced Cardkeeper who posted once….and replaced Poke Dude who completely disappeared. Even more, after joining the game, he quickly found himself with an underpowered role and no team. Despite this King Piplup managed to become a key member in the town and ended up surviving until the end of the game. He played very well, posted strong, and was extremely good at analyzing updates. One thing in particular I noticed was that King Piplup was good at getting conversation going, often being one of the first people to post each day.
I can’t say much on MagneBoat. He was alive for less then a week, and posted very little. Getting lynched Day 1 sucks. It’s just like Diaz, it’s part of the game. Usually all it takes to be lynched Day 1 is to have an unfamiliar name, or to post something wrong. It’s all about luck, and sometimes you flip tails.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
POKEMON
25.
So first let me explain the Eevee role. It was first used in Cardzmaster2004’s first Werewolf game on Pokegym. I proceeded to shamelessly steal it and use it in every one of my Werewolf games. I really like it. The way it goes depends entirely on the player. The possibilites for the Older Eevee are the old eeveelutions. Flareon is a vigilante type roles which can be seen in my second Werewolf game. Jolteon, as seen here is a roleblocker type role, and Vaporeon is a defensive evasion type role. It’s a fun role that plays differently each time.
Lucario ex originally had this role, but she didn’t have the time to play the game. That was unfortunate because she’s a good player, and I like her play style. She was replaced by Spartacus who played for a while, but was ultimately replaced by JewelQuest. Boy was she excited when I sent her the role. Turns out she is a huge eeveelutions fan, so this was most perfect role she could ask for. Not only did she dive right into to her role, but she extremely active, and a really good player. She brought a really positive attitude to the game, and it was interesting to see other player interact with a normally not seen outlook. All in all, JewelQuest played very well and as a result survived the game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
26.
Another eeveelutions role, this time having the newer eevelutions as options. Espeon is a pseudo seer, Umbreon, a pseudo detective. Leafeon, as see can absorb and borrow roles from people, and Glaceon can vote block and leave people frozen in ice.
Baby Mario was also a new player to werewolf. That said, he did very well. He chose Leafeon, and ended up dying because he drew the lucky lotto number to become the wolves’ next victim. He almost survived too, but he attempted to use his role on Benzo, the purge trooper, who was immune to Force users. While he was alive, Baby Mario posted and played with the skill of someone much more experienced. He played a good game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
27.
In a game of this size, I needed lots of detectives and pseudo detective. Absol is a straightforward detective, with literally nothing changed.
Victory Bell died night 2, so I didn’t get to see him post that much. He was the target of Lil_Magma’s vigilante attack. I can’t say too much, though I’ve seen Victory Bell play in the past and seems like a solid player for sure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
28.
This is another purely defensive/evasion role. I got the idea for the speech impediment from class one day and really liked the concept. The role is pretty straightforward
thunderjolt played much better then I thought he would. I had the pleasure of meeting him as it turns out he goes to the same league as me. thunderjolt attracted attention early on for his speech impediment and I pegged him as an early goner because of it. However it seemed that other people were garnering even more attention, and very few roles were used on him. It pushed him under the radar long enough for him to prove his innocence or at least move him from possible wolf to possible indie. Regardless, the town eventually figured him to be Deoxys and he was able to make it all the way to the end of the game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
29.
Ralts the sibling to Dark Gardevoir and Gallade. Unlike Gardevoir and Gallade however, Ralts had not chance of surviving if his siblings dies. Instead he had the ability to adopt a second Mason partner. This could potentially give Ralts sway over three other people. A very powerful asset to have. Unfortunately, he didn’t live long enough to really abuse this ability.
Barkjon[/B[ played a good game, but really didn’t do anything memorable. He died night 4 when Dark Gardevoir bit the dust, so the game was just barely reaching it’s middle. I’ve seen Barkjon play before, so I know he’s a good player. I’m gussing he just didn’t have much to say this game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~l
30.
A pretty simple disruption role. Every game needs one of these to spice things up a bit and throw a few names into the update.
Slowkingrocks played well, but didn’t do anything game-changing. He’s a solid player, and knows how to avoid attracting attention even while making pretty aggressive posts. He hit Cardzmaster2004 several times. When he finally died, it was because Pikamaster as Pokémon Hunter J got him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
31.
I wanted a role that abused the multiple items I had in this game. Somewhere I read that Murkrow loved shiny things, so he made his way into my game. The role is pretty straightforward. He can use items that other people hold. His role works in two-parter. The first being that he reviews a room for potential targets, and the next night he can choose which one to borrow an item from. The speech impediemt was actually one I had planned to use on a different character who was scrapped from my game. I wanted to add a lot of speech impediments based on something Darth Pika once told me
“Speech impediments are sooo annoying. Everyone fakes them and it makes it annoying trying to read everyone’s posts.”
That was enough motivations for me.
Z-man is a very laid back player, and plays with a very laid back style. I know he wasn’t as active in my game because he was simultaneously hosting his own on Pokebeach, so I thank him for being as active as he was. Z-man is a good player and a fellow mod, so I have a lot of respect for him. He plays well, and can spot the tiny little details I like to throw in. He died because he was a victim of Pokémon Hunter J.

It took a surprisingly long time for people to figure out what the Commlink did, and even then it was only after PokeChampofPokeBeach role revealed. I enjoyed the role a lot in my last game, and really wanted to put it in this one. Wobba Fett has a very special place in this game. He has the ability to play on any side because his win condition is stay alive until the end of the game. The only time he can’t win is if someone’s win condition is “last man standing.” He also has a special part to play because even if he plays as a townie, he doesn’t count as one. So if there had been 5 townies and Wobba Fett alive, with a wolf remaining, the wolves would have won. Wobba Fett can play with the town, but he isn’t a town member.
PokeChampofPokeBeach did a fantastic job of staying under the radar. Even in the final days of the game, he literally at not point in time came under suspicion. He played very well and as a reward survived the game.

This was a fun indie role. It had the similar “survive until the end,” but with the an added, “all Pokémon must be dead.” This meant that the wolves could win, and Pokémon Hunter J would win as well, bearing that Darth Pikachu and Dark Gardavoir were also dead. The same went for the town. As long as all the Pokémon bit the dust, Pokémon Hunter J could win. Her role was a modified vigilante/serial killer role. It had just enough chance to kill Pokémon to be effective, but enough chance of failure to not be over-powered. Overall a fun role.
Pikamaster like jellyfisher and DarthPika is a force to be reckoned with. He’s a good player and a worthy poster. No one ever actually question him or put him under suspicion. He died when the Control Room exploded, but I highly believe that he could have made it to the end if he had continued to play as he had. At one point he asked who was a Pokémon, and people actually answered him. Things were lining up nicely for him. Unfortunately fate had other plans.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
34.
I won’t lie. When the game started, I asked for 41 players because odd numbers tend to better then even. As I started handing out roles I realized something. I only had 40. Embarrassed that I had somehow forgot to replace “add indie role here” with an actual role, I conjured up this guy. I actually really liked it. It was a good disruption role. A good way to throw someone under the bus without having to post anything about it. You may notice that this all the independents have “survive until the end” as part of their win condition. I dislike last man standing roles because of the havok they cause and how they can drag on the night. That said, I believe independents are important because they can play without having to play specifically for one side, they can play selfishly for survival. They can also play for a specific faction, but without counting towards that faction’s numbers.
Porii Sames is a very…sporatic. Sometimes he’d make a good post, followed by a strange one, then a bad one, then another good one. Untimely his posting did not impress the town who lynched him on Day 2.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SITH CULT
35.
So let me start with some background on this role. After experimenting with a 3rd pary faction with Team Black Hole, I really wanted to do it again, but with Cultists. The Cultist is a very controversial role in Werewolf due to it’s ability to get extremely overpowered and broke extremely fast. In fact a lot of MafiaScum games don’t allow the Cultist role for that reason. I was determined to make it work though and did so by making the recruited only part of the Sith Cult team during certain situations, and otherwise unaware of themselves or others being part of the Sith. I feel like it worked extremely well. The way the role worked is that Cyrus could target anyone for recruitment. If successful, that person got a tattoo on there arm. If he targeted a Jedi or Dark Jedi, the situation depending on a few scenarios. If he targeted Palpatine while Darth Pikachu was a live, or vice versa, then he had 0% chance of touching either one. Once one of them died however, as long as Cyrus had at least 2 recruits plus himself, he had the ability to kill Palpatine or Darth Pikachu. Likewise with the Jedi, so long as he outnumbered the Jedi he would kill his target. Otherwise it would end in a stalemate. I’ll get to that in more detail when I explain the Jedi roles below. People with tattoos would become Sith during the night, and only when a fight with the Jedi or other character broke out. Otherwise they used their role as normal, and could appear in the update doing both. This particularly threw off the number for some people trying to figure out who was a Sith. Cyrus died early on and was the victim of the Jedi kill ability. They knew who he was based on one of their earlier abilities, which I will explain below. This was an interesting change in events because I had built up Cyrus to be a main villain of this game. His early death however allowed me to really develop Giovanni as a villain.
Waynegg is a smart guy. I know him in real life and knew he would play this game and this role very well. I also played as his mason partner in Cardzmaster2004’s last Werewolf game. He’s really good at adapting to the situation, and his death was due to the entire Jedi faction figuring out who he was and taking him out. Even so, while he was alive, he played an excellent game, and I look forward to seeing him play in the future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
36.
First off, while Giovanni and Cyrus were teammate, they counted only as one Cultists at a time, even when they were both alive. Giovanni’s role was to take over Cyrus’s role when he fell. He had a pseudo detective role as well, but it was random, so he had no control of who it targeted. Cyrus died really early on. This left me to write Giovanni as the main Sith Cult villain. I have to say it was a lot of fun. Giovanni had this touch of craziness that went well with his evilness, and I really enjoyed writing Lightsaber battles with him.
TheKing is another really good player. I knew he and Waynegg would work very well together. TheKing plays like Sandslash7 he’s very active, has an opinion on almost everything and is extremely hard to win an argument against. I can’t remember why, but at some point TheKing straight out admitted to being Giovanni. It was right after Palpatine had died, and I can’t remember the exact reason he admitted to this, but the town didn’t take to kindly to it. They lynched him almost immediately afterward. I can’t help but feel it was a bit of a misplay. Other then that though, TheKing played an excellent game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JEDI
Let me first explain the idea behind the Jedi mechanic. The Jedi were a group of 5 people with identical roles. They were in a mason and could communicate. Up until Night 5, each one would a get a chance to choose from a list of roles that the group would use during the night. Unbeknownst to them, they were also choosing their fates. The two who chose Defend and Seer would become townies. The one who chose kill would turn to the Dark Side and become a wolf or a Sith Cultist. The one who chose manipulate would become an independent, and the one who chose spy had a chance to join any group. The objective behind these roles were “Force Multipliers.” They would be that extra man that a faction needed to win the game, an extra wolf, or a spare townsperson. Until Night 5 they had no alignment, so they played with only survival as a goal. During Night 5, all 5 remembered who they were
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JEDI TRANSFORMATIONS ROLES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I’m grouping these three together because of how their roles interact. jpulice, Benson, and Kezzup chose Seer, Defend, and Spy respectively. This got them position of the townie. There roles all would have interacted in some way. jpulicep and Benson had recruiting roles that were directly to counter the Sith Cults. They could target anyone for recruitment. Those who were recruited got a badge. It then became an battle of number between the Sith Cult and the Jedi. The few times they engadged each other in combat, they both had 3 people total, so no one ever won, however had either side had more recruits then the other, said target would have died. The same rules applied in a similar fashion to the Empire. Attacking Palpatine or Darth Pikachu depending both on numbers and whether both of them were alive at the time. jpulicee and Benson could only use their roles on opposite nights, which amounted to 1 recruit per night. If they tried to recruit one another, then they would have found each other, become a mason, and gained a +1 to their numbers by counting each other. Then there is Luke Skywalker. You will notice I did not write a role for Kezzup he died during day 4, so I did’t bother translating my notes on Luke Skywalker to an actual role, but in short his role would have been a number multiplier for the Jedi recruitment. He would have to try and get the attention of the jedi, and if either Benson or jpulice recruited him, their numbers would have gotten a free +2. However his death removed him from the game before he ever got a chance to get his new role.
Kezzup played in previous games, and I’ve seen him to be a good player, but it seemed like he just didn’t give it his all this time. He was lynched based on his inactivity, and its too bad because I’ve seen him play and know he’s a decent player.
jpulice played an excellent game and he almost won it for the Jedi. He went down when the Empire targeted him for death and there was nothing he could do, though I think he had a really cool fight scene. jpulice got Kyle Katarn, who is one of my favorite Star Wars characters. I think this was jpulice’s first game, and if it was, I was really impressed. He played extremely well, and I really enjoyed his insight on the game. He was a really solid player, and played very well. Had the Empire not marked him for death after it was confirmed he was the final Jedi, he would have most likely made it to the end of the game. When Benson died, Kyle Katarn got the ability to Enlist every night instead of every other night.
Benson had really bad luck and he should not have died when he did. Benson received a PM from one the wolves. The wolf had intended to send the message to Benzo and sent it the Benson by mistake. I was in a really bad situation. My first plan was to kill said wolf, and have Benzo take his place, but with the Empire needing the Jedi dead, and Benson knowing the identity of every Jedi, that would not work. I spent a long time trying to figure out what to do and in the end told the wolves that they had to make Benson their night kill. It was a crappy situation, and I apologize to Benson for it, but I’m sure you understand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So before I get too far, let me explain the story of Mr. X to those to who not know. In the first Werewolf game, a certain player (who will remain unnamed) died early on and wasn’t happy. His friend happened to be a wolf, and happened to leave Pokegym open on his laptop one day at league. Said player saw the name of the other wolves and sent a PM to other player under the username “Mr X” telling them the other wolves and inwhat order too lynch them. Since then “Mr. X” has become something of a Werewolf iconic villain. He appears in many games, and in particular, all of my game. So in this case, DarthPika became the independent and got the Dark Lord Mr. X. This was the only “Last Man Standing” role I would permit, and to prevent what happened in my last game, where it dragged on until Mr. X was lynched, I added a special rule stating that if no killing roles were left in the game, Mr. X received one to help speed things along. That didn’t happen however.
DarthPika is a really good player. Really good. He ranks up there with Cardzmaster2004 and Sandslash7. The few times I’ve played against him I stay away from attacking him simply because I don’t win arguments against him. He a really good players, and had he not died Night 5, he might have gone really far. Speaking of his death, I’ll explain this one, because it’s a goodie. Ok so Night 5, Benson decided to use Protect on DarthPika AKA Lucario. The same time, Dave628 uses his priest protection on DarthPika. Now the Jedi defense only workd against physical roles, and could only handle one killing role at a time. So when Giovanni and the Sith showed up after targeting DarthPika, the Jedi stalled and fought them. At the same time the Empire showed up to kill Lucario, but he was protected by a barrier. It was too bad for DarthPika that at this time, the Control Room began to fall apart, and poor Dave628 was killed, which simultaneously dissolved the barrier protecting DarthPika. This allowed the Empire to attack DarthPika who then transformed into The Dark Lord Mr. X and led to a pretty epic fight between Darth Pikachu and DarthPika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh man, this was one of my favorite role of the game. Before I get farther, the fact that gallade got Gallade is 100% coincidence. Anyways, gallade started out as a normal Jedi, but chose the kill option. He killed Darth Cyrus, but lost his way and went down the path of the Dark side Night 5. Also I want to point out that the reason Gallade survived when Dark Gardavoir died was due to that small percentage chance of survival I mention on Dark Gardy. It applied to Gallade too, and he was able to get the roll needed. Anyways. After going to the Dark Side, he adopted a role that required him to attempted to get the attention of either the Empire or the Sith. If they targeted him, he would join their faction and adopt their win condition. There was another way however. If either of those factions lost all of their member before he was targeted, as happened with the Sith Cult. Gallade would automatically join said group. Thus he joined the Sith Cult when Giovanni died, and became the final Sith Member.
gallade almost won. He was so close that during Day 11, I was spending my classes doodling out number on how long it would take him to win. The answer was 1 night. If he wasn’t lynched day 11, and a townie was killed, and he recruited another townie, and the wolf killed a second townie, then gallade would have won the game for the Sith. I really wanted to see him win, I already had the update planned, and was disappointed when he was finally lynched after being so close to victory. gallade played a really good game. He made it to Day 11, and stayed under the radar the entire time. Even though he was Dragonite15’s target multiple times and fell under suspicions many times, he managed to talk his way out of trouble and make it to the very end. To that I say, good *** gallade, good game. You are a smart player, a solid poster, and good at keeping just below the radar. I can’t wait to see you play in future games.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some Closing Statements
So first off, let me once again thank everyone for playing. It’s been a long game. I had a blast, and hope you did to. I apologize to those who died early on and congratulate those who survived. This was, in my very biased opinion, the greatest Werewolf game Pokegym has ever had. It was certainly the longest lasting at a whopping 102 Pages, 2,545 Posts, 87,706+ views and spanning 251 days. We had 41 players enter the game, and 7 lived to tell the tale. One of the things I’m most proud of in this game is that we did not have a single Random Lynch day (excluding Day 1). Every single lynched was fueled by discussion and lasted until the very end, usually not even getting the majority. There was more debate and discussion in this game then I’ve ever seen before. Every player gave it there all, and I had a blast modding this game. So depending on how often you talk to me, you know this is in fact, my last Werewolf game I will host. As you can tell by the massive delays I had in this game, I simply do not have the free time I used to have. With college and the Army taking up my life right now, I wouldn’t have time to host another Werewolf game even if I wanted to. There’s another issue. I’m completely out of tricks. I pulled out all the stops in this game, but there’s nothing left for me to do. It would be almost impossible for me to top this game. So all in all, I don’t have the time, nor do I have any more ideas for another game.
You might be saying at this point “Wait a minute Absoltrainer, you’re ended is clearly open ended, and set up for a sequel!”
To that I say, you’re right. I can’t do a sequel right now. My life is way to hectic. I don’t plan on doing a sequel either for a long long time. That said, should a time come when I have free-time, ideas, and the motivation to host another Pokegym Werewolf game, I’ll have a theme all set to go. Besides, it will take Arceus a few years to gather his Army anyways = ). I just want to finish by saying that you the players made this happen. I wrote the updates and handled the roles, but you guys shaped the story. I have ideas for updates, but I usually don’t write them until every role is in. You guys shape this story and determine the outcome. Thank you for such an amazing experience.
So that’s it Pokegym. That is Werewolf XV. Congratulations to the victors, and thank you for playing.
Please don’t forget if you made your profile invisible, that you can turn it back to normal
I have just one last thing to ask of you, the players:
1.) Give me your full and honest opinions on the game
2.) Ask any questions you want to ask
3.) Give yourself a round of applause for helping to shape and create this awsome experiance!
THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I wasn't in the game long, but I have followed it through the months.
Absoltrainer set himself a massive task (that sometimes seemed impossible), but in the end he pulled off something epic.
Great job everyone.

Just read the part up to the video and watched. Nice video, very much enjoyed it.
Nominating SS7 for MVP. Honestly, that one post you made that called out DragonClyne was incredible. You are the best player on the gym.

IKRIT:
QUOTE FROM AT:
They chose to target him because someone (I can’t remember who) straight up pinpointed Ikrit as a wolf, specifically Palpatine. I think it was Scottistru, but they somehow figured out exactly who Ikrit was. I know he got a neutral detective read on Ikrit and found that interesting. Specifically he got the PM “You receive no information,” but I remember him being excited by that PM. Whoever that was, please explain how you figured that out. All in all, Ikrit in an amazing player.
Honestly AT, that is kind of a giveaway. If I had received that specific PM about someone, I would have almost certainly encouraged the town to vote for them the next day.
Ikrit, you played well EXCEPT when you voted off Cabd in the stand-off. It was too fishy. You first declared you were going to make the lynch if no one had done it in a couple of days, and then you vote off the wolf (but the town had essentially already decided to lynch him anyways). No offense, but that was a bad play. It was too WIFOM and it drew attention to you. Simply not doing anything would have resulted in the same lynch and less attention being cast in your direction. You played well, but there was really nothing you could do to escape that "THIS IS EMPEROR PALPATINE" Pm that was sent out. See my post #1883. When you voted off Cabd my mind IMMEDIATELY recalled LEX throwing P99 under the bus to make herself less suspicious 2 games ago.
DRAGONCLYNE725:
You played an AMAZING game. Well done. You were completely off my radar all game, and I had several other wolves in it. Night 2, you switched your vote from E4A to Porii Sames after I started my last minute campaign for Porii..Then you switched back to E4A. When it turned out that Porii was not a wolf, I immediately figure you had to be not a wolf. I kept that idea in my mind all game. You played solidly. Unfortunately PF5 made the mistake of associating himself with you (oops, AT mentioned this already as well), but even more than that: SS7 made the greatest WW post I have ever read to call you out. Not much you could do to stop him there.
PF5:
You were my rival and I honestly suspected it all game despite having any solid evidence. Your vote on day 1 on Blitzer was a horrid move. I picked up on that immediately when Blitzer died and I went through old posts to see if any votes were ever cast for him..and I found yours..on day 1. Out of left field of a completely different stadium. Wolves, you guys have to stop drawing that sort of attention to yourselves. The WIFOM plays draw attention to you, which is ALWAYS bad. Also, again, associating yourself with DC725 was another WIFOM play that brought unwanted attention to your last shot of winning.
Blitzer/ BarkJon
I really dislike these type of roles AT. Any suicide sibling roles are kinda unfair / unfun to those that get them. Also, recycling the old fashioned 3 siblings with a different alignment was 100% predictable and pretty old.
Redados1:
Solid first game. I think you made the right call to out PF5.
Toxictapian:
Haha, you kinda copied my role from LEX's last game except gave it a 3 day delay. Didn't like dying on day 1 I see
, but I can't blame you. It was a little sad to sit out the whole rest of the game with you.
Arcanine/Arbok Master:
Ya, I'm going to talk about my own performance: deal with it. I had this grand scheme around day 2 I think. I casually popped the question asking if anyone else couldn't target the same room two nights in a row. I was hoping that my counterpart had correctly guessed I was in the control room night 1 (since the update mentioned my toolbox / enough info to identify me if you knew what to look for). I then trapped the control room on night 2 and figured my rival might specifically target it because I would be unable to be in that room to stop him the next night. Unfortunately I think my post went fairly unnoticed. I don't think PF5 realized I was his rival until the very end.
I tried to make my move on PF5 at post 1694, but no one wanted to join me on that wagon. I was 90% sure at that point that PF5 was an imperial.
Diaz:
If I ever end up as a wolf, I would lynch you early as well. Take that as a compliment
Baby Mario:
Sorry to have accused so earl y in the game. AT, I swear you edited info about where the wolves scattered to out of the update >.>. I still stand by that.
Napoleon:
You played a great game, and I must admit I laughed for about 5 minutes straight after reading the gem you posted at 1768. It is only truly funny if you read my post right above it first.
Gallade:
AT I don't believe you for a second that Gallade rolled that 15% chance to survive. Also, I think the cult structure you had this game was kind of imbalanced. Instead of outnumbering the remaining townies, I think they should have had to tattoo all remaining players. Then you could take away the very specific counters to these roles (Kezzup as Luke Skywalker who apparently would have made the number of jedi double or something).
@AT:
I know I scattered my opinions of the game above, but I'll respond here too:
1. I felt the sith cult had an incredibly easy win condition, but had some hard counters (Kezzup). I don't think this was good game design. As I said, I think they should have a more difficult win condition, but less hard-counters and perhaps some passive defenses in their roles.
I also didn't like the blatant recycling of past roles (3x siblings each with a different alignment and suicidal, cynthia/lance = red/blue, wobba fett = boba fett, Batman(?), flareon = pokemon hunter J, Gengar was the same too?, MR.X). I realize it is hard to come up with 41 totally original roles and that old flashbacks can be fun, but...The sibling roles were 100% predictable. The main reason I knew gallade was sith was because he had admitted to being the Gallade and I KNEW that character was going to end up evil. Turns out it wasn't guaranteed to be that way, but it had a very high chance.
Next time give the Alpha wolf a townie read for seers. This one was a bit obvious.
I really enjoyed the room mechanics. I think that for games this large, what you did was a great idea. It slows down the chaos of 41 roles going off at one time, and scaled well late game.
Props on Dclyne's role. That one was interesting. SS7 did a fantastic job picking up on that, because I know I certainly wasn't thinking along those lines at all.
The updates were also amazing. I think I am hosting the next game, and I really wanted to go before you because I knew you would do something amazing with yours. lol.
Good choice of theme as well. I feel like a lot of people enjoy star wars even if they aren't hardcore fans. That's definitely how I felt at least.
I dislike Akane's speech impediment. I know you had Steelix in your last game as well. I dislike this one, because it kills the essence of the game. Players should all be allowed to make good posts that are logical and oftentimes long so that they can make complicated points. By restricting someone to 3 sentences, you are ruining THE fundamental part of the game. I realize that there are roles that post-block a person, which is ok. At least those do not permanently stop someone from being a contributor and can be used tactically by whoever has them (unlike the passive effect which is just kind of there and annoying)
2. Questions: So the 5 jedi that lost their memories...their CHARACTER was pre-decided but their ALIGNMENT was not? So jpulice was Kyle Katarn since the beginning of the game, but had a chance to become Mr. X if he chose the wrong role?
About randomizing. Can you explain in a bit more detail your process for initially grouping people? you mentioned something about having an extra person in each group or sliding them into another if one was imbalanced? I don't fully understand.
What exactly were the correspondence letters? I mean, you didn't make any note of them in your game summary.
Thanks for the great game!

I dislike Akane's speech impediment. I know you had Steelix in your last game as well. I dislike this one, because it kills the essence of the game. Players should all be allowed to make good posts that are logical and oftentimes long so that they can make complicated points. By restricting someone to 3 sentences, you are ruining THE fundamental part of the game. I realize that there are roles that post-block a person, which is ok. At least those do not permanently stop someone from being a contributor and can be used tactically by whoever has them (unlike the passive effect which is just kind of there and annoying)
2. Questions: So the 5 jedi that lost their memories...their CHARACTER was pre-decided but their ALIGNMENT was not? So jpulice was Kyle Katarn since the beginning of the game, but had a chance to become Mr. X if he chose the wrong role?
About randomizing. Can you explain in a bit more detail your process for initially grouping people? you mentioned something about having an extra person in each group or sliding them into another if one was imbalanced? I don't fully understand.
What exactly were the correspondence letters? I mean, you didn't make any note of them in your game summary.
Thanks for the great game!

Too be honest, it's true that I probably shouldn't have been able to find roles for 75% of the living people based on the previous game
. Amazing game, more thoughts to come later.

Amazing game, I'm so glad I got to play to the very last second of it. Thank you Absoltrainer, that was the most fun Werewolf I have ever played. You have in my opinion created the most complex werewolf game I've ever seen.
I'm not going to talk too much about how I played this game, mostly because I don't quite remember why I did everything that I did. The thing that burned me the most in this game was mis-reading my role. I had interpreted it as "last man standing" and as such I could have been much more flexible during some of the nights. Because I thought I was a bitter independent, I hung a lot lower in the night then I had to. I could have been a lot more active.
Despite the fact that I mis-read my role, as began to play the game I realized I really wanted the town to win. Don't know why, but my playstyle kind of shaped me into a bit of a pseudo-townie.
In any case, I'm going to give a big shout out to Dragonclyne, who played a formidable game. Seriously, if he had had a little more luck on his side, I think he totally would have won.
I give an even bigger shout out to Sandslash7, however. He by far contributed the most to the game and his posts alone I think were the biggest ones to shape the game the way that it was played. Figuring out my identity and role was a big one, but calling out Dragonclyne the way you did was killer. That post of yours was by far the best post I have ever seen on the Gym, if not in any Werewolf game EVER.
While I share the spoils of victory with the townies, none of us really won. The credit I believe is fully SS7's. He has played a game that I know I for one am going to study for a long time to come now. Well played, SS7, well played.

RE: Absoltrainer
In regards to my experience with Werewolves game, I have played 2 Werewolves game; 1 on PokeBeach that was moderated by Pokechamp(11-13 gamedays; last half of the game I became an alpha werewolf) and 1 very briefly on Pokegym(1-2 game days before asking to be replaced as I could not keep up with number of posts within a game day and the fact that I was busy outside of the game)
I was a werewolves in both games.
Great job DragonClyne725!! Both you and Sandslash7 played the best in this game.

I'm just happy I was able to make the post retracting my support of King Piplup and Dragonclyne725 being town before AT froze the game. That could have made things more difficult.
That was an amazing game AT.

Wolves: Why did I get killed off so early? Was I really posing a threat or was it just a shot in the dark?
LucaioEX was a target EVERY night because she wasn't posting and I know as a mod she had much higher activity then she led on. That was all I ever had for her. As for the other roles, we never really got much use out of it. KP, I hope it was useful to you.
KP: Sorry that you were left hanging by yourself. I wish I had you to start with on the team, because Magneboar & PokeDude were completely unresponsive.
When Magneboar started posting VERY rampantly day 1, I got on AIM and told him to chill the heck out or he would get lynched...and he did.
Seriously, the Special forces group was made for greatness but was never able to meet it's full potential. You survived so I would say "Mission accomplished" Great job KP.
This was my 2nd Werewolf game, the first I was killed 1/2 way through. Thanks for having me AT, good luck with your future in the army, and thanks for a great game.
BTW - who has been put in charge of the next one? I will be playing for sure.

Scottistru was the first to vote for Ikrit on that day, and if I am correct, also called him a wolf. But I don't think he ever said that he was Palpatine. You might be thinking of me for that part.
