Paris, 1898. The city is warped by terror...

Evil has taken over turn-of-the-century Europe. Vampires run rampant. Werewolves openly hunt for their human prey. And a mysterious entity has started a reign of terror on the Parisian nightlife.

You are new to town, having recently tracked one such entity and his minions to France. Two years of tracking had ensued before this, resulting in many losses, both civilian and professional. The time has come to spring a final, elaborate trap. But you need the support of local Parisian officials. You know the villains have stayed here longer for some reason, though their purpose here is unknown. In the meantime, you have worked your way into the Parisian political society, made connections, and arranged plans to capture the terrors of Europe. You are going to a party tonight to complete your manipulation of the society. It’s being held at the Opera House, just after the night’s production of Samson et Dalila . You anticipate this as the crowning jewel in your purification of Europe.

But others plan on using the night to their advantage too. The evil forces who plague the community are also in attendance at the party. The mirrors corridors sometimes reflect, sometimes obscure, and sometimes show nothing at all of the visitors in their midst. A shadowed figure jumps above the melee, landing down only to hide and spy on the entire society around. As guests arrive, they all wear elaborate masks and costumes to celebrate the opening of the show. Some come dressed as warriors and nobility while others opt for the more classic masquerade ball costume of ball gown or suit with decorated mask.

After all 21 guests arrive, the night truly begins. First, the lights go dark in the room. Screams are heard all around. Something large shatters. And no one knows what has occurred.

When the lights finally come back up, everyone is shocked to see one of the large mirrored walls completely shattered. The others still stand strong, yet it is clear that no is making it out now; the mirrored doors that were once open have now slammed shut and appeared to be jammed from the other side. It appears something has been placed behind the broken mirror. Someone or something has left a clue to help the village. And to unravel this plot, it is clear that not everyone is making it out of this room alive. The investigation begins anew, with soon-to-be deadly results.



Welcome to Werewolf X: Parisian Intrigue
--------------------------------------------------------------

1) Object of the Game

The object of the game “Are You a Werewolf?” is dependant on what side of the game you are playing on. There are two main factions: the Werewolves and the Townspeople. Townspeople win the game when they have eliminated all Werewolves from the game. Whereas, the Werewolves win the game when there is an equal amount or more Werwolves in the Village at the end of a day or night.

2) “Game Days”
Obviously, in order to win, there must be a way to eliminated people from the village. This is where we begin to discuss the “game day”.

The game day is divided into two sections, Day and Night. Below are the explanations fo each section:

2a) Game Day

Each day, the town will try to vote someone out of the Village. This is called “lynching” ala the Salem Witch Trials. The Werewolves at this time will try to lead the Townspeople into lynching one of their own people while the Townspeople will try to get everyone to lynch a Werewolf. In order to lynch a person, a simple majority of the town must vote them out.

EXAMPLE: If there are 17 members left in the town, 9 people must vote for the same person to lynch them.

Half is not a majority.

EXAMPLE 2: If there are 18 people in a town, 10 people must vote for the same person to lynch them.

Certain players may have abilities that require less or more vote to lynch them, but you will know when that happens, as I am the only person that can announce that a person has been lynched.

2a(1))Voting

Whenever you vote in your post, please vote in all caps and list who you are voting for:

VOTE: Cardzmaster2004

Of course, you can change your vote at any time. However, to change your vote, you must unvote (again, in bold), like so:

UNVOTE: Cardzmaster2004

VOTE: Some other dude/dudette

Of course, you don’t have to immediately vote someone right after unvoting. Its your choice.

2b) Game Night

After the lynching during the day, the game slips into night. During the night, NO ONE is to post in the topic unless they announce they are on vacation or will away from an extend period of time (i.e. more than a week).

During the night, those people with roles will PM me their actions. This includes the Werwolves, the Seer, and the Priest, just to name a few. These roles will be discussed in the character section, as they are roles universal to all Werewolf games.

At the end of the night, I will post what occurred over the course of the night (who died, other effects, etc.). After everything from the night has been resolved, the Day begins again and chaos continues to occur until one team wins.

2c) The game is over when I say its over.

3) Basic Roles

There are three roles native to all Forum Werewolf games: the Werewolves, the Seer, and the Priest

3a) Werewolves

The Werewolves are a minority of town who are quite hungry at night. Each night, the Werewolves will converse through PM, AIM, email, etc and decide who they will eat that night. Werewolves can only communicate like this DURING THE NIGHT!!! However, I will only accept the killing from one person, the Alpha Werewolf.

The Alpha Werewolf is the head of the Werewolves and makes the final decision on who to kill at night. The Alpha Werewolf will PM the moderator (Cardzmaster2004) each night whom they decide to kill. Only the Alpha Werewolf can tell me who to kill, so communication between the Werewolves is key.

3b) The Seer

Each night, the seer receives a vision, informing him whether a person is a townsperson or Werewolf. The Seer PMs the moderator(again, me) each night whom they would like to dream about. At the end of the night, they find out if that person is a townsperson or Werewolf.

3c) The Priest

The Priest gives on person Sanctuary in the church at night. That person cannot be killed that night and cannot use night abilities. The priest (by whatever name they go by this game) will choose one person (other than themself) to hide in the Sanctuary. They will protected and cannot use night actions.

3d) Masons

The Masons are a group of people who know what each others roles are. Usually they are just members of the town who try to protect each other but occasionally they have other abilities.

3e) Other Roles

There are many other roles in this game, such as Roleblockers, Voteblockers, Reflectionists, Masons, etc. Some fo them have even been made especially for this game. For an idea on some of these roles, check out this link: Basic and Extra Roles

3f) Items

Some characters may posses items that can be wielded as weapons or used to activate night roles. Some items are useful, some serve no purpose at all. You may only carry one item at a time and items, once possessed cannot be stolen or dropped by a character until they die.

4) Other Rules

4a) You CAN NOT talk to other people in the game through PMs, IMs, email, etc. There are some roles that allow this, but on the whole, no should be doing this. If I am told that someone has broken this rule, it most likely result in an AUTOMATIC MODKILL!

4b) Don’t edit your posts, as each post is a valuable bit of information. If you edit a post once, you will receive a public warning. After the second edit, a pack of wild Tauros will trample you underfoot, essentially Modkilling you.

4c) Each person will have a unique role (some multiple roles), so revealing your role while many Werewolves are about is a bad idea. Heck, revealing your role at any time, unless it is a last ditch attempt, is a bad idea. So keep your roles secret for as long as possible.

4d) Do not quote anything I tell you from a PM directly; adapt it into your own speaking style. If you quote anything from my PMs directly, I will smite you with the might of God and you will be Modkilled.

4e) TIMES FOR EACH DAY:

A day will last about a week (7 days from my night update)
A night will last about 4-5 days or until I get all PMs in from individuals.

4f) Modkills and Inactivity Modkills

There have been the above mention of the term “modkill”. In a modkill, a person is killed during the day and all discussions and votes up to that point are completely null and void. The person modkilled is lynched that day, and the town goes immediately to night.

However, there is also an Inactivity Modkill. There is a random amount of time (between 4-7 days) that you must post at least once. Failure to do so will result in your replacement and/or instant modkill.

4f(1)) Leave of Absence

If you are going to be gone for an extended period of time (i.e. longer than 4 days), PM me and we will talk about either letting it slide or getting a replacement (temp replacement or permanent should the need be).

5) Death

When you are killed off during the course of the game you CAN NOT talk in the game topic anymore. Any information you have accrued may not be passed onto another person. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN A BAN FROM THE NEXT WEREWOLF GAME.

6) Any other questions:

Any other questions about the roles you’re playing, rules in general, or anything else, PM me.

6a) Rules are subject to change (usually minorly) should the need be (and usually not need be).

7) Sign Ups:

I will accept the first 21 or so (the number is only slightly flexible this time) people to sign up. If I accept more than 21 people, only extra vanilla roles will be added (aka, straight townies). As people occasionally want to drop from these games due to length, I will also start a Replacements list and, should a person decide to drop, the replacements will be put into the game. If not replacements can be found, they will be modkilled.

football40: If you'd like to see how most games of WW run, I'd suggest going back and clicking through a few pages of any PokeGym Werewolf topic. My best suggestions would be either II, III, or IX. All are linked in the PokeGym Werewolf Compendium in my sig. If you still feel a little lost on how the game works, might I suggest signing up to sub and watch the first game day unfold and stepping in for someone later? It's honestly the better way to jump in to these topics. Your choice, though, and I have you on the Player List currently.

Other players: Up to football's post, everyone's registered. We're looking for at least 11 more and I know most of the regulars are on holiday right now. I'll keep this open as close to the New year as possible and we'll try and start the game on the 2nd.

Paz,

~Cardz.
 
I'm in! This time my brother won't know a thing about my role. ;p

Also, can I run a future werewolf game. I'd like to run a game that DOESN'T go up in flames. :)
