Harry Potter Werewolf
Welcome to HP Werewolf!
From the recruitment thread:
Spoiler: Recruitment thread first post
It was an ordinary day at Hogwarts. Dumbledore was twinkling, Snape was sneering, Malfoy was plotting, and Hermione was studying. And Harry, of course, was probably being clueless about something or other.
Suddenly, the doors opened with a loud crash! Voldemort entered, flanked by several masked Death Eaters.
"But it's not June yet!" Hermione complained. "I just started revising for exams!"
"This does seem to be an unusual time for your antics, Tom" Dumbledore agreed.
Voldemort, ignoring them, smashed a bottle on the floor. Suddenly, the room filled with fog. As it cleared, people looked around in confusion. Where did the Death Eaters go? And who were all these people beside them?
"MWAHAHAHA", boomed Voldemort's voice, apparently coming out of nowhere. "THIS POTION WILL STOP ALL YOU FOOLS FROM RECOGNIZING EACH OTHER AS WE SOW TERROR BY KILLING YOU ONE BY ONE. AM I NOT BRILLIANT?"
"Uh, why are you leaving us extra time to figure out who you are instead of just killing us all at once?"
"Shut up! Do you want him to change that plan?"
"DO NOT QUESTION MY BRILLIANCE!"
------
This will be a fairly typical game of Werewolf/Mafia, except that a) everyone will have some sort of power/night action and b) none of the power roles are revealed in advance.
If you have not played Werewolf, the rules are in the following spoiler. There is also more information in the Werewolf Central thread.
If you have played before, feel free to skip this spoiler. (Or read it and tell me all the things I probably forgot to put in it )
Spoiler: General Werewolf Rules
Werewolf, also known as Mafia, is basically a game of an informed minority versus an uninformed majority. A small group of players are designated "wolves" (or Death Eaters, in this case) and are trying to kill all the other players. The rest of the players are "villagers" (or "town") and are trying to kill all the wolves first. There may also be some neutral roles, which have their own win conditions.
The wolves (usually) all know the identities of all the wolves. The rest of the players do not know which players are wolves.
The game alternates between two phases, day and night. During the day, people discuss and vote for the person who they want to lynch that day. At the end of the day, that person is killed (removed from the game), and their role is revealed.
The night phase then starts. The wolves pick one player to kill. Also, some players (or everyone, in this case) may have power roles, which allow them to do something special at night. Some common ones are the Seer (who picks one person and sees what side they're on, or their role) and the Baner (who picks one person and prevents them from dying if they would otherwise have died that night).
Game ends when all wolves are dead or when the wolves' victory is guaranteed. Usually victory is guaranteed when the wolves outnumber the villagers (because they can choose who is lynched as well as who is killed at night), but depending on power roles this may not always be the case.
The following are rules that are almost always true on this site, but may not be true on other sites or in IRL games:
- The day always ends in the same amount of time, regardless of whether a majority of votes is reached.
- The person with the most votes is lynched at the end of the day, regardless if they have a majority of votes or not.
- Villagers and wolves win if their side wins, regardless of whether they are killed. (Neutral win conditions usually include "must survive the game", although there are exceptions.)
- Kills and night powers are discussed/used on a site called QuickTopic, where you can essentially create an anonymous forum-style thread. You don't need an account. The narrator will send a QT to anyone who wants it.
Some rules specific to this game:
- Days and nights will both be 48 hours long (this is open to discussion)
- Feel free to PM each other as long as I'm included in the PM, however, you can't send links to the QT I sent you or screenshots of your role PM. (You can, however, create a new QT for longer discussions. In fact, please do, it will free up my inbox more.)
- Players that do not post for two day/night cycles will be auto-lynched at the end of the second day. Making night actions or posting in your QT does not count to prevent autolynch. (This is mostly to avoid people deducing things from whether someone is autolynched.)
- Votes should be written in red. I would prefer that you cross out old votes when making new ones, but if not, the last vote made will be counted as your final vote.
- I'll probably give the wolves a few villager roles that they can safely fake-claim (i.e. roles that don't actually exist in the game) in order to prevent the game being broken by making everyone claim.
- EDIT: Forgot to say this when I first wrote this post - ties will be broken by lynching whoever reaches the tie number of votes first. This is first during the entire day, e.g. if A reaches 4 votes, then A goes down to 3 votes, then B reaches 4 votes, then A goes back up to 4 votes, A will be lynched.
- The narration will probably not get any better. I make no guarantees that it will not get worse. There is a reason I majored in math and not English.
Adding this here for anyone who didn't see the edit on the recruitment thread: Ties are broken by lynching the person who reaches the tie number of votes first. This is first during the entire day, e.g. if A reaches 4 votes, then A goes down to 3 votes, then B reaches 4 votes, then A goes back up to 4 votes, A will be lynched.

Only one vote? I was expecting a whole bandwagon against me by now!
Anyway, RNG saysAvatarVecnashould be voted for.

Re: Harry Potter Werewolf
Mmm... Distancing right of the bat? Looks a bit too blatant though.
(Reason for this being that AV said to increase "game lost" count and not "death" count)
That's not true!

Damn you, flat_footed.Valmark.

Re: Harry Potter Werewolf
Am I missing something? Besides claiming in a game without roles known (which isn't a bad move if ALL do so, I think) you are claiming as a character from another series, google tells me. Like, what?
Should elaborate on the first point. You are making a claim right off the bat, with people having no reason to trust you besides not seeing a counter-claim which may not come if you fake the role you claimed.
Also, assuming Google isn't wrong, this claim strikes me as false also because, well, wrong series. Anything to say?

Re: Harry Potter Werewolf
Are we haunted by the ghost of Xihiril or something? Because I still can't see them on the player list.
That does seem a bit odd. We're not wolfbuddies, though.
Okay, hardclaiming Miss Cackle. (That is the name, right? I never watched the TV series and I haven't read the books in years.)

Re: Harry Potter Werewolf
Unless it gets a townie lynched on the joke.
And yeah, thanks for that explanation Snow, although Ginty could just be going along.
(Also, of course you and AV aren't wolf buddies, I totally believe you at face value :p)

Re: Harry Potter Werewolf
I still don't care for self-votes, so I'm inclined to vote for you. "One vote to avoid being poked" is almost a shield, and self-voting means you can move that shield to avoid death should a wagon get on you.
Or it's a bad Day 1 habit I don't want to spread. Either way.
But I figure I'll poke someone yet to post.

Re: Harry Potter Werewolf
It's not that I don't like day 1. You need a day 1 to get a day 2. Except in that one game that was out of order that one time, but that's beside the point. I'm just really bad at day 1.
And the rng machine saysSnowblaze, so I guess I'm with AV on forcing her to update her sig.Last edited by Duck999; 2020-04-21 at 11:14 AM.

Re: Harry Potter Werewolf
It's more like if someone else is as idiot as I am and actually take your claim for an actual claim a wagon can form on you. If you get lynched and are revealed town, a townie has been lynched for a joke.
I voted for myself because as I always do I voted for the first on the list without votes, had there been someone else I wouldn't have done it, it's not to avoid being poked :p
Besides, you don't usually poke actives.
You did the same last game :p
Kinda strange Duck voted so early when they almost skipped Day 1 altogether last game, but I guess it's because they got called out?

Yeah, but RNG is my way of determining votes. It's more the specifically me part that's heresy.

Re: Harry Potter Werewolf
See, you're coming at this from the perspective that I could get myself lynched off the back of a joke, which would be incredibly dumb if I was a wolf. So therefore, you must assume I'm town, which means you won't lynch me. But then I know that, so it makes it a great play for a wolf. But then you can work that out, so it's all wifom.
And this is the point: unless town is dumb enough to lynch someone off the back of a joke, the value of me posting something confusing to open the game is that it gives us something to talk about, and is more likely to get people active than if we just get stuck talking about people's random votes for most of d1. This, then, is why Snowblaze gets a vote for ending the possibility of confusion from my claim, because - on the assumption that activity is better than inactivity - it's objectively an anti-town move.
