Here's how it works.
-The number of players is flexible. There must be at least 3 players. In the pool of roles, there are always 3 more roles than there are players. The extra 3 remain in a pool that is outside of the game. Some roles can interact with these unused roles.
-roles are handed out at random. You look at your role (you know what you are at the start)
-The night happens. Many roles have a special action at night (see below).
-once the night actions are done, the game begins. It's just like mafia, except there is only ONE DAY. If a werewolf is lynched, all werewolves lose and all humans win! If a non-werewolf is lynched, all humans lose and the werewolves win!
- since there are 3 random roles left out, it is always a possibility (however unlikely) that all werewolves and minion are in the out-of-the game 3 roles. If the players believe that no one is a werewolf, they are allowed to
vote no one. If no one is lynched, the players will win if no player is a werewolf or minion, but will lose if there is a werewolf or minion amongst them.
The roles
Quote
-The Werewolves (x2): the werewolves are the mafia. They know who each other are.
-The Villager (x?): does nothing. Knows nothing.
-The Seer: before the game, the seer may look at one player's role, or at two of the three unassigned roles.
-The Robber: steal another player's role. Look at your new role.
-The Troublemaker: Swap two other players' roles. You don't get to look at them (and neither do they!)
The Hunter: if lynched or killed, the hunter kills the person he's currently voting for along with him. If the hunter kills a werewolf, the humans (including the hunter) win!
The Insomniac: at the end of the night, the insomniac looks at her own card (and knows if her role has been messed with, and what the new role is if so. If its a new role, she becomes that role, but does not get to take a night action if it has one)
The Minion: The minion is working secretly for the werewolves. If the werewolves win, the minion wins, and if the humans win, the minion loses. If the minion is killed, the werewolves win (and so does the minion, a sacrifice for the cause). If there are no werewolves at the time of the lynching, lynching the lone minion is a win for the humans, and leaving the lone minion alive is a loss for the humans, as though he were a werewolf.
The Tanner: the tanner wants to die. If the tanner is killed, the tanner, and ONLY the tanner wins!
The Masons (x2): the masons are just plain villagers, however the masons know who the other mason is, much like the werewolves.
The Drunk: During the night, the drunk switches his role randomly with one of the three unused roles. He does not get to look at his new role. Because he's drunk.
The Doppleganger: at the beginning of the night, the Doppleganger chooses another player (secretly). He becomes that player's role and takes their night action immediately if they have one (unless becoming the insomniac, in which case they will look at their own card again at the end of the night)
Quote
Order in which Night Actions take place;
It often matters.
1: Doppleganger becomes target player's role and does their action
2: Werewolves discover other werewolves
3: Minion discovers werewolves
4: Masons discover the other Mason
5: Seer peeks at chosen role(s)
6: Troublemaker swaps two other players' roles
7: Robber swaps his role with target player
8: Drunk blindly swaps his role with one of the 3 unused roles
9: Insomniac sees own role (in case it changed).
I would be happy to moderate, as much as I love playing :) since the game only goes one "day" at a time, it should be a lot easier to actually complete
Starting signups! Pm me or post. I'll give it a couple days and then we can start, no matter how many people we get (thanks to how accommodating this version is). I'm going to set a cap at 12 people for now, just to keep the chaos low.
1 E.kann
2 Pride

I'll have to reread the rules again when I'm more awake, but seems fun! I'm in, as long as it starts before a week or so from now.
im in
I wanted to do the other one...but then realized it was dead :(
so lets DO THIS THANG
Can I be in?
Complex. I'm in!
I'll close entry for game 1 on Friday afternoon - at which point the people in the game can decide on which roles they want to include, so look at the roles in the meantime and decide if there are any you REALLY want or don't want in the game.
There will always be two werewolves. I might add a third if we hit max players. Everything else is flexible.
So the roles don't get assigned or at random? This is intresting.
The are assigned at random, but we get to decide s a group which roles go into the random-pool before they're handed out.
I'm in, how do you kill th werewolves or humans?
It's just like mafia, players vote on another player to lynch during the day. Once a player has majority vote, the player is killed and the game ends
Ok I will definitely join
Dibs!
Okay, let's get this game started!
With 7 players, there are 10 roles total in the pool
There are 2 werewolves.
There is a Minion.
The other 7 can be chosen by consensus, or you guys can choose to let me pick them. I will leave you to discuss which ones you want to use while I'm at FNM tonight :) I will start the game in the morning if I can, and pm everyone their roles after I randomize them
Note: if you want to use Masons, there are either 0 or 2 of them. There's no point in having only one, and you can't have more than two.
Note2: updated the rules on the minion, and added a clarification rule about choosing to vote for no one if you think that all bad guys are in the 3 left out (leaving nothing but good guys in play to vote for)
U decide
I vote you choose which will be the most fun.
U decide
I'm down with gorzo deciding, but the Tanner sounds pretty awesome XDXD

I agree, the tanner is really fun :) here's what I choose!
1: Werewolf
2: Werewolf
3: Minion
4: Tanner
5: Hunter
6: Seer
7: Troublemaker
8: Villager
9: Villager
10: Villager
I am randomizing the roles now, as well as PMing them to their players (and asking them for their night action, if they have one)
Roles are sent! As soon as I recieve the night actions from any players with night actions (would be mentioned in the pm I sent you) the day will start, and you can go at it!
Since this is the first game, if anyone needs tips or advice, feel free to ask me in a pm.
I probably don't need to say this, but don't PM to plot with or against anyone. Anything you want to say has to be said in front of everyone!
You can still pm me though, since I'm not a player, I'm the moderator. ;)
So....who's it gonna be
I vote u cud ur suspicious
As a homunculus, I vote I stay up all night to get lucky with my female homunculus and just solo all the werewolves. And all the humans.

Lmfao I'm dying
Updated the main post with the order in which things happened in the night, in case it matters (it usually does, one way or another)
Also updating Pride's name on the player list :P goofball
Ima vote forrrrrr
E.kann, cuz I gotta pick someone >:D

Oh, I guess I signed up on the wrong thread...

Idk, I just voted once, the first one I didn't specify who I voted for
i vote for popper23345

If I was tryin to avoid attention, I wouldn't talk at all...plus, voting for me insures a win for the werewolfs
Voting Flickr!
Yes, you are allowed to change your votes.
Do me a favor though, and make votes official by putting them in bold. Same for un-voting.
Ex. Vote Gorzo.
It just makes it easier for the game moderator to keep track of votes :)
Current vote tally:
Popper - 2 votes
E.kann - 1 vote
Flicker - 1 vote
Majority vote threshold = 4
Sorry Cracka! You'll get in on the next game, these games aren't too long since they're only one day, so don't worry
Dunno how to do bold but
Voting for popper
quote me to see how to bold
:)
oh
Y me D:
Jumping on the bandwagon and voting for popper.
"Jump on the bandwagon"? Hmm....
vote for flicker

Jumping on the next bandwagon. Voting for Flicker :D
I'm staying with popper
I kinda think flicker is the tanner XD

Lol :P you can't vote for yourself, silly!
Flicker and Popper both have 3 now, unless flicker trying to vote for himself is an official unvote for popper :P
In which case, popper would only have two.
No one has shared any role information at all, true or a lie, which I find interesting... I'm used to 3 or 4 people claiming to be the seer by now lol
I may or may not love my alcohol...
well i didnt think we were allowed to clame we were what we are
Oh, you're absolutely allowed to share. You're also allowed to completely make it up, and pretend to be a different role. All that matters is what role you actually are at the end of the day, and only you and I know who you are. And thanks to some roles that switch roles around, there's a chance that you could be wrong about even your own role at the end of the day! How much do you trust the word of the Troublemaker/Robber/Drunk/etc? ;)
Those 3 votes haven't been coming in... Next we need more people I think.
Why can't I vote for myself. It's the job of a troublemaker the screw with everyone's plans right?

It's mostly because if the Tanner or Minion could vote for themselves, it would make the game less fair, and they would rarely vote for anyone else. So no player may vote for themselves, to keep it fair and give every role motive to vote elsewhere.
But yeah, more players will always help liven things up. It doesn't help that one player in this game has not said anything or responded to my pm since they signed up, either, so the game is down a role.
Since there's a lack of activity, the day will end at midnight EST tonight, and votes will be tallied as is! Make your final cases!
Hey guys, I kind of think popper is the tanner. He hasn't said anything in his defense, it feels like he wants this to happen.
I change my vote to AdamS
I swear I'm da villager, an I kinda think that flicker or e.kann is one of the wear wolfs ....
Keepin my vote

I wish I was the tanner XD
Speaking of E.Kann, I'll vote for him. I don't care who I vote for. That missing person could've been a werewolf and we don't know. All I know is I switched two of you, and I can sit back and watch the world burn. When I die, I could lie about what I was. My job is to bring chaos. And to watch you all wonder what is going on. Careful who you kill, devious people may be killed off quickly, but I assure you, what I say can still stand and screw with the game.
Mwahaha
Would love to be a werewolf, sit around and pick most vote person while others fight, oh the joys

Sounds so certain about how he switched people... Suspicious.
I'll give you a hint.
I have said one of your names, and I haven't said the others.
Have fun. ;)
Me ?
On an unrelated note. I just saw CrackaLacka post a topic entitled "A" and then immediately took it down.
What secrets did it hold 0_0
'Twas supposed to be a post on another thread 😬😬😬
THE CAKE IS A LIE! THERE IS NO SPOON! FLICKER IS A LOCH NESS MONSTER!

Aww, can I be the Loch Ness Monster instead.
The day is ended! I'll tally the votes and give the results in a few minutes!
With majority vote, Flicker is dragged to gallows. Insisting that he is nothing but a simple troublemaker, his cries are ignored and he is hanged at dusk.
Content, everyone goes to bed...
The village was never heard from again. Legend has it that ptsgpbk was seen leaving the village the next morning, licking his lips...
THE WEREWOLVES AND MINION WIN!
How it went down:
E.Kann was a werewolf!
AdamS was the Minion!
Ptsg was the tanner!
Flicker was the troublemaker!
Reckless was the seer!
Pride and Popper were villagers!
Flicker swapper E.Kann with Ptsg - making ptsg the werewolf, and E.Kann the tanner!
Since Flicker was killed (a human), the bad guys win!
I knew I would be swapped, you should make it drone longer as it would b better
NOOO, now I don't know what to do! I thought everyone kept their roles until the very end of the game. Making it so that after someone died they could have said, "I was a werewolf guys." Giving everyone else false hope
The switching thing is weird but that was fun! Seems like it would be better with more active people.
Aw, I was that close to winning... If the troublemaker wasn't their......
It was funny, I was trying to switch the tanner and the werewolf. Lucky guess :P
Anyone want to play again? I'd be willing to try to be the mod if gorzo doesn't want to/wants to play.
I'd be happy to mod again :) post or pm me, I'll restart signups!
I'll play again :)
Can I, too?
Same here
So are you going to make a new thread again? I'm in either way
I want to play,
Tanner, here I come
