Candy-Coated Werewolf

Candy-Coated Werewolf

Spoiler: Recruitment

Show

Grandma has everything ready for Halloween: spooky decorations, a witch outfit, atmospheric music and the pièce de résistance: a genuine cast-iron cauldron filled with delicious treats! She has temporarily placed it on top of the kitchen table to keep it out of reach of her granddaughter who is staying over. Of course, this is vastly underestimating the resourcefulness of little Loulou. When grandma has nodded off, she pushes one of the chairs out from under the table, climbs on top and just manages to reach over the top for her deserved sugary reward... or however many she can get her grubby little hand on.

The candies panic! This is not their destiny! They want to be handed out and bring joy to trick-or-treaters, not regurgitated onto the floor in twenty minutes by a gluttonous toddler! They need a plan, and they need it quick.

Spoiler: Information

Show

This is a standard werewolf/mafia game, more information on those can be found here

Since this is my first game as narrator, the setup will be pretty basic:

• 20-25% of the players will be wolves, and depending on the number of players there will be some common PRs or neutrals
• The game will be played on the Structured Games subforum
• Discord will be used for private channels / wolf chat / dead chat
• First day will last for around 72 hours, second and third day for 48 hours, and all subsequent days are 24 hours. Nights are always 24 hours
• There are no intended bastard mechanics at play
• Recruitment ends on 24 October and the game should start the day after
• SoD/EoD is 17:00 my time

"I've got it!" shouted the taffy. The other candies warily looked in their direction. You never knew what to expect with taffy, they came out with the craziest thing first.

"Look," they continued, "clearly some of us will get eaten. But the little cretin can't see inside the cauldron. That means we have some control over who they get."

The cauldron fell silent. "...are you suggesting we sacrifice the most nourishing among us so she's no longer hungry?" someone proffered. All eyes veered involuntarily towards the chocolate bar, who immediately started to puff themself up to protest.

"Not at all!" the taffy interrupted hastily. "To the contrary, I think we should make sure she isn't rewarded for her behaviour." There was a short pause before the taffy cautiously continued, "I think what we should do is have a vote to see who we all think will be the least... popular, and hope Loulou will give up."

An approving murmur filled the cauldron only to be interrupted by a few loud voices. "That's not fair!" "Just because not everybody enjoys us doesn't mean you can just throw us out!" "It's a stupid plan and you're just suggesting it to avoid being eaten yourself!" "You know what, I don't think you're anybody's favourite either!"

...and before anyone could comment further, the taffy was heaved over the rim of the cauldron, where an unsuspecting Loulou watched as they tumbled down and onto the floor. There they will lie for the rest of our story, unable to influence events no matter how much they might want to.

"Bet you're salty now!"

Welcome back, Murska!

[Book Wombat]

The Number One gac3!

[Xumtiil]

I think flat_footed is trying to suck up to the narrator. I have my eyes on you.

[Snowblaze]

Xumtiil, how dare you snatch ultimate power from my grasp! (Not that I wanted ultimate power for myself, of course, I'm definitely not evil.)

[Cazero]

Voting for Snowblaze for now.

[Xumtiil]

Xumtiil, how dare you snatch ultimate power from my grasp! (Not that I wanted ultimate power for myself, of course, I'm definitely not evil.)

You're lucky you escaped with your life, Blaze of the Snow. I will have my vengeance yet.

Visor, Hollowkatt, Mrs McGinty, Cuthalion, Cazero - I know some are and some aren't new, but I haven't seen any games with you. Please tell me something about yourself (including preferred pronouns, if possible) so I don't make a fool of myself (moreso than usual)

[Mrs McGinty]

Hardlaim: Multivoter

Maybe you all are wolves!

[AvatarVecna]

AvatarVecna, to make sure that the inevitable wagon on me is started by the shiftiest player in the game so nobody trusts it.

[Cazero]

Please tell me something about yourself (including preferred pronouns, if possible) so I don't make a fool of myself (moreso than usual)

I don't care enough about my gender to check if I'm not a he/him.

Also most of my experience with these games comes from Among Us, where the meta is quite different.

sup. I'm a he/him, answer to hollowkatt, hk, hollow, katt, moron.
I've been playing mafia on and off for about 20 years now. I've played on MiseTings, GoodGamery, Mafia Universe, The Syndicate, MafiaCafe, TheOrg, and a few other places I can't remember any more.

I enjoy being town more than mafia but am skilled at both.
I try to be chill, sometimes I fail at it :(

cool I'm down
AvatarVecna

always oblige someone voting for themselves.

[Snowblaze]

Voting for Snowblaze for now.

Hi! Any particular reason you want me dead, or have I reached the stage where people don't need reasons to want me dead?

You're lucky you escaped with your life, Blaze of the Snow. I will have my vengeance yet.

Your vengeance? I worked with you against my better judgement when I could have killed you, and you claim I have wronged you?

[Persolus]

Hello everyone! I'm Persolus and think that you shouldn't kill me first round!

- - - Updated - - -

From Google's random number generator, I nominate Cuthalion. Nothing personal, probably will change once we get data!

[Rogan]

Hello everybody!

In order to test a theory wolf!AV proposed about wolf!flat last game:

flat_footed

[Cazero]

Hi! Any particular reason you want me dead, or have I reached the stage where people don't need reasons to want me dead?

This is day one. I rolled dice.

[flat_footed]

Hello everybody!

flat_footed

I mean, town and wolf flat both don't like votes.

[Rogan]

I mean, town and wolf flat both don't like votes.

And both of them get more active, so I might actually get to form a read on them. I count this as an absolute win

[hollowkatt]

Xumtiil

ten characters

[3SecondCultist]

Rogan, because they have been actively town each game and I distrust that.

[flat_footed]

And both of them get more active, so I might actually get to form a read on them. I count this as an absolute win

The trick is both town and wolf flat act sus as hell.

[Rogan]

Rogan, because they have been actively town each game and I distrust that.

This clearly means you want the wolves to win

The trick is both town and wolf flat act sus as hell.

Oh, they do? Unfortunately I can't remember Town!Flat. It's been way too long since I've had a chance to interact with him. What can you tell me about him?

[Book Wombat]

Who's been naughty and who's been—wait wrong time.
Uh, Time to Trick and Treat!

[gac3]

The Number One gac3!

Hardlaim Seer
Why not do some classic OMGUS, considering I was already considering a vote on Book before game started. Now to look over things for real.

[Visor]

McGinty

Howdy all. Been quite a while since I've played here. Pretty much all new faces. Hope it's a good game.

[flat_footed]

This clearly means you want the wolves to win



Oh, they do? Unfortunately I can't remember Town!Flat. It's been way too long since I've had a chance to interact with him. What can you tell me about him?

There's not much to say, he's usually gone by Night 1.

[AvatarVecna]

Rogan, because they have been actively town each game and I distrust that.

I can confirm I'm not partnered with Rogan this game.

[Murska]

Hello all. Going to add a third vote on Xumtiil to see what comes of that.

[hollowkatt]

Hello all. Going to add a third vote on Xumtiil to see what comes of that.

I think the snowblade vote is ****posting. My vote is legit, what's the reasoning for yours?

[3SecondCultist]

This clearly means you want the wolves to win

Oh no, you found me out on D1 again.

I can confirm I'm not partnered with Rogan this game.

Noted. That gives me something to think about at least.

I think the snowblade vote is ****posting. My vote is legit, what's the reasoning for yours?

My vote on Rogan was not a serious one. Murska is one of several people I don't know from WW (before my time, though we have played a game or two of Total War together), so as unknown commodities in this context I will echo the question.

[Visor]

have you ever been just sitting around vibing while other people post 699 times in one game day but it's a small game so you didn't expect the activity to be so high and you made a joke about how hard the game is to follow and then people took your posts seriously like you couldn't follow the logic of the posts being made when really you were saying you didn't want to read all their **** but they've spent so many posts about trying to re-explain their reads to you in a different way that now you feel bad and don't want to tell them you just don't wanna read their posts at all but they've put so much effort into trying to work with you so you half heartedly agree because you're trying to be nice but then someone else comes in and says your agreeing with them contradicts your post from 29 hours ago so you get even more heat and all you wanted to do was shoot the **** with your friends but two of them subbed out and now the game is full of try hards that ate constantly and made mafia so unfun for you that you took a break and now you're regretting coming back but you can't say that because it'll sound like ate and you don't want to be a hypocrite so instead you just make something up to explain the contradiction because you still don't want to read 3k posts on day 1 but then your explanation contradicts another post you made and a third person starts pestering you about it so you spend the next 7 hours actively engaged in a game you don't want to be in because you feel some unreasonable sense of pride for not getting mischopped in games but really you want to just sub out like your friends did and then you eventually do talk your way out of it but the counterwagon flips villager so you sit there throughout night one stressing about how tomorrow is gonna be more of the same? Has that ever happened to you?
