Evil Villains Werewolf

[Snowblaze]

From the recruitment thread:

Disclaimer: this is my first time narrating. There may be stupid mistakes, and the game may be horribly imbalanced.


This is a game of Werewolf, also known as Mafia. General WW/Mafia rules may be found in the Central thread (https://forums.giantitp.com/showthre...-OPENING-POSTS!)


Rules and advice specific to this game:

In the event of a tied vote, the first player to reach the tie will be lynched.


Anyone not posting in thread for two consecutive day phases will be auto-lynched.


You shouldn't trust anyone. (Yes, I know this is true for all games, but even more so for this one. Be paranoid. Be very paranoid…)


Everyone will have some kind of power, although it may be passive. Most roles will be fairly standard, but some will be… more unusual. I’ve given you some hints to some of the roles, but if I create more I’m not telling you what they are.


Game-related PMs and creation of QTs are allowed as long as I'm copied on them, but don't share any QT I gave you, a role PM or a screenshot of either.


Days and nights will be 48 hours long.


The game will begin when recruitment is over in 14 days. I'm looking for up to 23 players.


Town:


Everything was going brilliantly: the Plan was just days away from completion, and then the world would have been yours.


That was when those pesky heroes killed the Evil Mastermind. The building's been in lockdown ever since, so you know they're still here... you just need to find them before they kill you all (and maybe work towards your other goals in the confusion!)

Spoiler: Town Roles

Show

The Loyal Deputy:

You were the Evil Mastermind's most trusted minion, and possibly the only other who knew the full Plan. With her dead, you're the new leader, but you're vulnerable - and not only to the heroes...



The Bodyguard:

Your one task was to keep the Evil Mastermind alive. You failed. Now you're determined to do anything you can to avenge her death and keep her successor alive.



The Murderer:

You do all of the dirty work around here. Except now it's not so clear who needs to die... and there's someone out there trying to kill you.




The Friendly Villain:

You may be evil with a capital E, but you're easily capable of charming people into doing what you want. And no-one will realise your real goals...



The Evil Lovers:

Let it never be said that evil doesn't have loved ones: you care about each other more than anything else in the world.



The Devil:

Your second sight is unparalleled, and you can use it to work out who is who, tracking down the heroes hiding amongst you... and the fool who thinks he can match your power.


The Foolish Villain:

You think you have second sight, but in reality it's just randomness. That won't stop you from proving that you can do anything with a bit of luck...



The Mad Scientist

You have come up with some fabulous inventions. It's just a pity you can't work out what they do. This chaos seems like a good opportunity to carry out some testing...



The Paranoid Villain:

You know you're going to die... but it won't be in vain. You've been planning for this kind of thing for a long time. Hopefully you can take out some of these heroes. Or the usurper within the organisation.

Neutral:This situation is so inconvenient. You were only here for one thing, and now you're stuck here. Still, maybe this can work to your advantage if you keep your head down and get a stroke of luck.

Spoiler: Neutral Roles

Show

Not telling! There may or may not be neutral roles, and if there are their powers will not be revealed until and unless they die.

Wolves:

You've successfully killed the Evil Mastermind: mission accomplished! Only you weren't expecting to be trapped here, unable to get out. Looks like you're going to have to kill the other villains if you want to escape.

Spoiler: Wolf Roles

Show

The Hero: You've fought these villains many times before, and you know their styles. With any luck your information will help you escape.


The Traitor: You used to be a villain yourself. This means you know how to pass as one again, and you won't be discovered.


The Ally: You're well-stocked with sleeping potions, and your preparedness will finally be useful.

The Animal Sidekick: No-one ever notices you, but you can slip around at night and figure out what the villains are up to.

End Night Zero


You stop what you're doing as you hear the sirens. The building is in lockdown: no-one can leave or arrive until it's stopped. There hasn't been a lockdown in months.


You hurry to the main hall to find out what's going on, and are shocked to see the body of your leader, murdered by heroes - who must still be here. You need to figure out who they are - before it's too late...


Snowblaze was killed. She was the Evil Mastermind.


Begin Day One, which will end at approximately 2pm GMT on Wednesday (I'm giving you extra time partly so you don't lose any while waiting for this to be approved and partly so I can update on my computer.)

Also, two notes:

1. No impersonating other people in QTs. (This was gac3's plan. It is not allowed. Don't do it.)

2. I'll post vote counts at the end of each day phase. They will not account for any vote manipulation powers that may exist. I will neither confirm nor deny the existence of vote manipulation powers.

[Unavenger]

I feel like lynching AvatarVecna first, every time, is a little unfair.

On this basis, Xihirli. It's only reasonable!

[Lord Athos]

Aventine because she's No 17.

[Valmark]

Good thing there is no Snowblaze to force me to self-vote :p

Gac3, you're first in list.

Unavenger and AV wolf buddies? (I'm joking) (for now)

[JeenLeen]

I'll poke Elennato start.

1. No impersonating other people in QTs. (This was gac3's plan. It is not allowed. Don't do it.)

In the Harry Potter game, I learned you can write a fake name (like Wolf #2 or Fred Weasley) instead of your forum name. Is stuff like that allowed?
(I guess being able to do that should have been obvious, since you can start whatever name you want, but I only learned about QT through these games and set my name there as JeenLeen, and then never thought about changing it. Nor do I know how to do that.)

I don't really care for the 'fake naming', as it eliminates much of the risk of reaching out with a QuickTopic.

But I'm REALLY glad you vetoed impersonating others. That would essentially render networking useless and ramp the paranoia way too high.

[CaoimhinTheCape]

Rolled a d20. Vote Apogee1

[Apogee1]

CaoimhinTheCape. Heroes and capes have a well established correlation

Edit: Would you believe me if I said I typed this before he voted me?

I see no reason why you shouldn't. That is allowed.

[CaoimhinTheCape]

I mean, we have the same timestamp for when we posted. That's just some great timing there.

And I have no idea what you're talking about. Capes are for dramatic flair. No correlation to heroes.

[Valmark]

As the incredibles teach us, capes get heroes killed though. Just saying. Hehehehe.

[Xihirli]

I feel like lynching AvatarVecna first, every time, is a little unfair.

Yeah, that's fair. Xihirli.

[AvatarVecna]

RNG says vote for Libro

[bc56]

I'm still smarting over my death last game, so Valmark for pushing it so hard.

[Valmark]

Not my fault I was right :p (yes, I'm not funny I know)

- - - Updated - - -

By the by for the newer players who aren't subscribed to Mafia Capital I suggest doing so. It's the main hub for the games on GitP and current/recruting games are tracked there.

Yes, I know there was a link in the recruitment thread, but that doesn't mean people subscribed to it or red past the rules. I know I hadn't the first time, though that could be me being an idiot >.>

[rogue_alchemist]

the dice gods choose gac3. Your sacrifice is appreciated.

[Grand Arbiter]

Mourning must be placed aside for vengeance. Once the perpetrators have suffered for their transgressions her Plan may continue.

Thus, the tests of loyalty shall begin. kgato503, how do you plead?

the dice gods choose gac3. Your sacrifice is appreciated.

RNG says vote for Libro

Rolled a d20. Vote Apogee1

Consulting mere trinkets? tsk tsk tsk. We have a fiendish oracle in our midst who can gaze into our very souls. I would place my fate in their hands sooner than some bauble that states "Reply hazy, try again".

...Though, I suppose it would be exceedingly foolish for them to reveal themselves now. Divination is a precise art that requires time... let us pray their faith is rewarded.

Heroes and capes have a well established correlation

The correlation is poor fashion sense. Capes are generally gaudy sheets of fabric, which match their garish outfits.

[JeenLeen]

Good thing there is no Snowblaze to force me to self-vote :p

Gac3, you're first in list.

Unavenger and AV wolf buddies? (I'm joking) (for now)

the dice gods choose gac3. Your sacrifice is appreciated.

rogue_alchemist's vote is the first one to put 2 votes on somebody (well, besides Xihirli's self-vote, but that doesn't count for analysis purposes.)
While I can see that as valid, as someone has to start a wagon to get real analysis going, what I don't see as valid is putting a second vote on someone for RNG purposes.

So shifting my vote to rogue_alchemist.
Even if it was an honest mistake and they missed the vote on gac3... well, honest mistakes can look bad.

the dice gods do not care for what others are doing and are chaos incarnate! They must be appeased! (Though, no, I did not see that a vote already existed )

[JoyWonderLove]

I never know who to vote for first round and I still feel weird choosing.

I feel like it's usually at the third random vote that one should perk up and wonder what's happening- though yeah, it could be a not-honest mistake.

Why doesn't my vote count for analysis purposes?

Because you're suspicious when you DON'T self vote, honestly.

[JeenLeen]

the dice gods do not care for what others are doing and are chaos incarnate! They must be appeased! (Though, no, I did not see that a vote already existed )

That's fair. And, honestly, I almost made the exact same kind of mistake myself before I did my vote on Elenna, so I definitely know it's a mistake that can happen.
But I hope this should still drive discussion, so I'll leave it on you.

Random seems as good a reason as any to place a second vote at this point, JeenLeen.
(Unless you are suggesting you have a better reason this early D1? )

Sliding dramatically, but also subtly and stealthily, out of the shadows, Aventine strikes a pose. After all, what is the point of being a villain if you aren't going to be mysterious and dramatic and edgy?

"With the boss dead, some random and arbitrary murders seem like just the thing to do. Unless you are suggesting we need a reason to kill underlings? How positively...heroic of an attitude."

[Xihirli]

Amateurs, the lot of you. I've been in the villain game for... sifts through her own bull**** canon for awhile... three thousand years, give or take a universe in which I have been a despot for four eternities.

[Grand Arbiter]

"With the boss dead, some random and arbitrary murders seem like just the thing to do. Unless you are suggesting we need a reason to kill underlings? How positively...heroic of an attitude."

Heroic, bah. I am opposed to wasting resources. Each underling, ourselves included, is a tool to be used to its fullest. Purposeless slaughter creates naught but a mess for the custodial staff.

Amateurs, the lot of you. I've been in the villain game for... sifts through her own bull**** canon for awhile... three thousand years, give or take a universe in which I have been a despot for four eternities.

’Tis true; I know of none on par with you.

[gac3]

I'm going to say RogueAlchemist for now. They started a wagon on me because of RNG. People say that a lot but last time it happened it was Snowblaze and he was definitely a wolf then. Will analyze posts a little later to weigh in on any actually suspicious behavior.

[trtl]

MornShine

Their name sounds particularly heroic.

[Xihirli]

I've never met an evil turtle.

[gac3]

1. No impersonating other people in QTs. (This was gac3's plan. It is not allowed. Don't do it.)

I would like to point out that it was more a thought than a plan. Besides it would have only been usable as a wolf.

[Valmark]

I would like to point out that it was more a thought than a plan. Besides it would have only been usable as a wolf.

To be fair, you could impersonate someone else as Town to try and get them lynched just like you could as Wolf. Just... Less sure.
