Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Werewolf XIV: Team Rocket's Trap - TOWN WINS

Lucario EX

Moderator<br>Fanfic Contest Host
25 Pokemon Trainers from across the continent have received invitations to a tournament on New Island. All of them have accepted the invitations, lured in by the promise of a powerful, previously undiscovered Pokemon offered as the prize. Some may have been suspicious enough to notice the mysterious lack of information, the severely limited timeframe given to consider their decision, or the requirement that they bring only two Pokemon. Others paid no attention to this, satisfied with any hope of a challenge. It is unimportant, whether they knew what kind of trap they were walking in to. Their fate would be the same.

---

As you step off the ship, some of the other Trainers push past you, eager to see their destination. You lag behind, slightly seasick.
The massive building ahead startles you out of your apathy. Towers rise into the golden morning sky, just beyond an imposing gate. Amazed, you step forward as well. As you walk up the wide path, you hear a crashing sound somewhere far away. Something in the distance explodes, and a few of the other Trainers look around and mutter to each other, frightened. Someone in the crowd curses, and the ship bursts into flame behind you, sinking just as one child runs out. Barriers created by some kind of Pokemon rise around the island, preventing anyone from escaping. Panic ensues, as security guards release their Pokemon and begin to search the Trainers for weapons.

---

"Giovanni, sir, someone's sabotaged the power systems. I've activated the lockdown; none of them will be able to run. But someone had to have caused that explosion. Someone must know about the plan."

"I see. Search for any sign of an intruder. And check -"

"Sir, it's missing! That Pokemon is gone!"

"Blast! I should have known it would find a way to interfere! Find the others. Inform them to take all emergency precautions."

---

"Wait! There's something nearby! I can almost sense it..." someone announces, focusing on something no one else can see.

"Foolish humans" a voice reprimands harshly. No one seems to be speaking, and after a moment you realize that the voice is a Pokemon's telepathy. "This is a trap by Team Rocket, to get rid of those who have interfered with their schemes previously. You have to stop them, or all of you will be killed. A few members of Team Rocket are pretending to be Trainers in the competition. You have to figure out who they are before it's too late."

Welcome to Werewolf XIV: Team Rocket's Trap

----------------------------------------------------------

Basic Rules

1) Object of the Game

The object of the game “Are You a Werewolf?” is dependent 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 Werewolves 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 for 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, bolded, and list who you are voting for:

VOTE: Lucario EX

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

UNVOTE: Lucario EX

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 Werewolves, 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 (Lucario EX) 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 of them have even been made especially for this game.

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! Talking to other people in the game about completely unrelated things is fine, though.

4b) Don’t edit your posts, as each post is a valuable bit of information. Doubleposting counts as editing, since if you edit and then doublepost, the edit notice is removed. 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. However in the past I have seen people reveal their roles for their advantage.

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).

4g) Thanks

If you are dead, or not allowed to post for another reason, do not Thank game posts. The first time you break this rule, you will receive a public warning. The second time, you will be modkilled.

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:
Signups are closed, but anyone sign up to be a replacement.
