Game #1 Sign-up and Rules
I'm sorry it took me longer than expected to get this up.
Please read through this entire post before signing up. Please do not sign up if you feel you may not be able to meet minimum game participation requirements.
The Game:
All players will be randomly assigned to a team, either Good or Evil.
Team Good, The Human Village, consists of the uninformed majority.
Team Evil, The Youkai Clan, consists of the informed minority.
Determining the Winning Team:
Good wins if there are no youkai remaining alive. Evil wins if parity is achieved, meaning that the number of remaining evil roles equals or exceeds the number of remaining good roles, and with at least one youkai left alive.
The game consists of a day phase and a night phase. A day begins at Dawn and ends at Dusk. Voting for lynch takes place during the day phase and lynch occurs at Dusk. Night begins at Dusk and ends at Dawn. The night kill occurs during the night phase. The night phase is also the time when special powers are used.
Dusk occurs at (to be determined). Dawn occurs at (to be determined). (Times will be decided upon after consultation with participating players.)
Characters:
Each player will be randomly assigned the role of a Saiyuki character. Feel free to get into your role as enthusiastically or as minimally as you feel comfortable with. (If there is a particular character you absolutely do NOT want to play, please include this in your sign-up comment so I can avoid assigning you that character.)
Roles:
1 Berserk Youkai (evil)
1 Youkai (evil)
1 Hanyou (evil)
1 Onmyouji (evil)
1 Oracle (good)
1 Vigilante (good)
1 Healer (good)
6 Villagers (good)
Lovers: Additionally, two players will be paired together as lovers.
Role Descriptions:
Youkai:
Youkai share private messages and together can choose to kill one other player each night.
The Berserk Youkai has the additional ability to target another player for a retaliatory death if they themselves are killed.
Hanyou: The Hanyou knows the identity of the youkai.
Onmyouji: Has the ability to secretly view one player each night to see whether they are the oracle or not. Starts the game with a random negative view. If the Onmyouji fails to submit an order for night view, they will receive a random negative view.
Oracle: Can secretly view a player each night to see whether or not they are a youkai. If no order is given, the seer will be given a random negative view.
Vigilante: Once per game, can choose to kill another player during the night.
Healer: Each night, can target a player to protect. If their targeted player is chosen by the Youkai for a night kill, the healer will die in their place, having depleted all of their own chi in the selfless act of saving the other player.
Villagers: Have no special abilities.
Lovers: They can communicate with each other via PM. If one lover is killed, the other lover immediately commits suicide and also dies. If one lover is Evil and the other Good, and they are the only two players remaining, Lovers win and the win is considered to be Neutral.
Role Revelation: A player’s role will be revealed upon that player’s death.
Lynch:
During each day phase, each player will vote for another player that they want to lynch. Players may change their vote at any time up until Dusk, which is the deadline for lynch voting. The player with the most votes at the end of the day is lynched and killed. If there is a tie, the player with the longest held last vote is the one lynched.
Votes will be indicated as follows, with the name of the player voted for indicated in bold:
[Vote ditch_gospel]
Night Kill:
Youkai decide together which player they want to kill. They must submit their choice of night kill target by dawn. Orders will be submitted to the moderator via PM. Their chosen victim will be announced at Dawn and the unfortunate victim is then out of the game.
Night Orders:
Onmyouji, Oracle, Healer, and Vigilante must submit their night order to the moderator via PM by dawn. Onmyouji and Oracle each choose one player to view and the results of their view will be revealed to them via PM. Results of the Healer and Vigilante's night actions, if any, will be announced at dawn.
Additional Rules:
No game-related out-of-game chat or communication between players is permitted and is considered to be cheating, except in the case of PMs shared between Youkai and PMs shared between Lover pairs.
No deleting comments.
No editing comments.
No posting after your character has been killed/lynched.
No posting between Dusk and the release of lynch results. No posting between Dawn and the release of night kill results.
Participation:
Minimum game participation involves making at least one post per day. The more each player participates, the more fun the game will be for everyone. You should include an explanation with your vote for why you chose to vote that way. Strategy and discussion are encouraged.
Summary of Gameplay:
During day phase, everyone discusses together and votes for which player to lynch.
Moderator will post [Dusk]. No posting after Dusk.
Moderator will post results of lynch.
Players may resume posting.
Moderator posts [Dawn]. No posting.
Moderator posts results of the night kill and any night orders submitted.
Next day phase begins. Players may resume posting and the process repeats until we have a winning team.
There will be 13 players in this first game. Player slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Please comment to this post if you would like to fill a slot. I'm also looking for a few back-up players who would be interested in taking over a role in case of any drop-outs or disappearances.
I'd also like to declare that I have never actually played or moderated a game of Werewolf before, so I cannot guarantee that there won't be any glitches to iron out along the way. I will try my best to keep things running smoothly and I hope we can all have some fun. :-) If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to voice them. If all goes well, this will hopefully be the first of many games here on saiyuki_lynched.
Sign-up will remain open until all player slots are filled.
