    Welcome to the town of Burlow, a nice and mostly peaceful community full of ordinary people.
    Farmers are farming, bakers are baking, miners are mining and someoneÂ… made a deal with the devil!
    Now this town will need some brave heroes, willing to stand strong against all odds, resist every temptation and find the evildoers to make the town save again!

    This is a game of Werwolf / Mafia with my own twist added to it. Assuming there are enough players, there will be 4 alignments, the heroes (the equivalent to town), the tempted, the corrupted (the equivalent to wolves) and some neutrals, with their own victory conditions.
    The heroes win when the town is save again.
    The tempted share the same goal, unless they succumb to the temptation and become corrupted. The details of this process will be explained to the tempted.
    The corrupted win by gaining a majority of living players or by some other condition, which wonÂ’t be revealed until the game ends. Each night, they have to select one of their members to carry the factional kill. They can not refuse to use this.
    The victory conditions of neutral players wonÂ’t prevent any other player from winning.

    The game is split into two phases: The day and the night.
    During the day, the living players can cast a vote for the execution. A vote shall be written in bold red and has to describe one player (meaning, you could vote for ‘Rogan’ or ‘the narrator’, but not ‘the Devil’ or ‘A Wolf’ or similar). You may change your vote as much as you want. If you want to unvote, please state this in bold red as well, instead of simply striking out a previous vote. At the end of the day, the votes will be counted by me, the narrator. I will post a list of the final votes before applying powers which might change the result. The person with the highest vote count after all modifications will be sentenced to dead.
    During the night, most powers can be used, including the mandatory factional kill of the corrupted. Public talking at night is allowed.
    At the end of each phase, I will post a notice for the phase change before processing and publishing the results. You may not post in the thread between the phase change notice and the publishing of results.

    Some of the mechanics used in this game will be highly unusual and mess with the expectations of players. There will be limited information about this until the end of the game. However, as the narrator, I will not lie to you. If you receive an answer (including the results of power usages), it will be the truth. IÂ’ll also try to avoid giving deliberately misleading answers, however you should expect answers given during the game to be limited.
    This game will be played in the forum, but IÂ’ll set up a discord server to handle the private communication (for most, this will be a thread to talk to me and use powers) and the dead chat.

    I would also like to include another mechanic: Personalized boons. These will be completely independent from alignment and the regular, random powers.
    IÂ’ve got ideas for some of the regular players. If I donÂ’t have an idea for you, IÂ’ll try to figure something out together with you.

    Fair warning: I expect this game to get chaotic and I might mess up the balance. Feedback will be appreciated after the game or in dead chat.

    You want to join? Please roll a six sided die here!
    YouÂ’ve got questions? Please ask them!

    Deal with the Devil


    Welcome to the town of Burlow, a nice and mostly peaceful community full of ordinary people. The current population consists of 88 people.
    But the peace was disturbed when a traveling paladin went missing, his broken body was found soon after. The investigation of the town's authorities soon would reveal the cruel truth: The Paladin was used as a sacrifice to the devil. No single person in this town could have done this deed, but a small group might have the strength to do so.
    To restore order, 21 notable inhabitants decided to further investigate this crime and to execute those responsible.
    Little did they know that some of them had their own goals...

    Day 1 starts now. I intend to end it at Jan, 05 in the evening (CET), approximately three days from now.
    Due to some RL interference, I can't guarantee an exact time right now, but I will let you know some hours before the phase ends.


    Day 1 end

    Night 1 end
    Day 2 end
    Night 2 end
    Day 3 end
    Night 3 end

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

    According to the unholy knowledge invested in my through the Google Random Number Generator, i believe that my first vote must be AvatarVecna.

    ...I swear, this isn't me becoming a regular and joining in on the tradition of "Lynch AV Day 1 No Matter What"

    I missed this rule about unvoting/changing votes, and I'm willing to believe Caedorus did as well... but it still doesn't look great on an early D1 vote change. At least by D1 standards.
    Also, as I forgot to bold my vote: Caedorus

    Rogan: is the explicit unvoting required for us to change a vote, or something you want to make it easier on yourself but you'll still count the change if you notice it? But I guess it's on us if an old vote is counted when we forget to be explicit in bold red.

    I'm assuming the explicit unvoting is only required when you're only unvoting and not voting for someone else right away, though I might be wrong.

    Because of course there was a hidden royal heir. That was how these things always seemed to work. Well, hopefully this one was of the less obnoxious kind. The woman in white sighed and rose to her feet.

    "You have summoned me," she said, "and I have come. What would you ask of me?" Never let it be said of her that she had not played her part to perfection when it was required.

    This assumption is correct.
    A new, valid vote is sufficient to nullify a previous vote. A formal unvote is only required when there is no new target.

    I did and it is.

    In my defense, AV declared war first. And yes, I also am not a fan of that vote change.
