Night of the Werewolves - The Legend of Black Shuck

[HarvSFC]

I'm going to stand with you Dominic. I've posted my suspicions on the previous pages, so I don't have to justify this vote, but LeeWilson for execution.

Too many mind games.

 

[Stagat]

LeeWilson for execution

That's the *only vote cast yet for this day in the village? I might not be disagreeing with it.

Still don't believe Leewilson's story first and foremost, last request has started to sound shady too, and Tom has been acting the twat since day one really.

* edit: not now

edit II: although I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon until someone other than those three has had chance to put forward a case for no execution again

 

[Leewilson]

Quite frankly, I got the ball rolling here, stirred a few things up to get the circle of trust in real motion and have a few good ideas about who could be a wolf. I didn't expect to still be alive now, I thought I'd have been killed by the wolves. I pretty much spilled everything out in that massive post before the previous day deadline as I thought I'd be killed and I wanted a big last word of all my thoughts before I'm not able to communicate anymore.

However, if it takes voting me off for people to trust the group I have assigned myself with, then maybe for the greater good of the citizens winning the game, it needs to happen. I'm in this for the 'team' I'm on to win the game. The whole individual wanting to win side doesn't appeal to me here as it does in Survivor as it's a team game with a winning team announced at the end. I've had my contribution for my team, the citizens. I feel that what I've done has done a lot of good in terms of getting the group up and running and getting some initial ideas in the pipeline. However, it has confused everyone not in the circle. I did half expect that but thought I'd spelled things out logically enough to be believed. Perhaps I overcomplicated things a touch, live and learn I suppose. Maybe there's been too many long posts and some people are left a bit like 'what's going on'.

So yeah, if you want 100% clarity on my role and to also confirm 2-3 other members in the same instance, execute me.

 

[Leewilson]

What I will say mind, is that if you go back and read page 16 which is where I first start to comment, I think it's quite obvious actually that my entire plan revolved around wanting the seer to check me out, see I was innocent and invite me into the circle of trust to reveal my info on Tom.


Also on a side note, when is the day deadline, I just scrolled back to try and find it and can't see it?

 

[SUTSS]

The deadline is tomorrow at 9.

 

[Magic]

I guess we will know more about Lee's group if we find out his status but deep down I'm not convinced he's a wolf.

I'd say there's a fair chance the seer would have used their power on Lee but it could be that they've passed a message on to those wanting him executed.

Aaaaargh this is so confusing. I'm in two minds here.

 

[MagpieBee]

Yeah, I have my doubts as well, as also documented. If it turns out they are all telling the truth, then we can only really find out for sure by killing one of them. Until one of them dies, we can't confirm anything for sure, and will fairly have doubts.

Lee Wilson for execution.

 

[Spirederman]

Hmm. After erring towards voting Lee for execution, after reading his previous 2 posts, I'm not entirely sure that it would be a good idea. Im not at all comfortable doing this, but neither would I be if I chose the other option. I vote for No Execution, but let me just say this will be the last time I vote for no execution. I'm intrigued as to what next move the Wolves make, so don't want to hang anyone out to dry at this early stage. If Lee isn't a wolf he is leaving himself wide open to be killed when night begins again. If this doesn't happen then there is definitely something amiss as far as I'm concerned. Why would the wolves again be non reactive if they can see the circle of trust gaining momentum, thus as it stands at the moment giving the villagers the upper hand???

Too many unanswered questions for me so far.

If the vote does carry for Lee to be executed and he turns out to be an innocent, rest assured 4 of the other villagers will find yourself behind bars at the hands of your local friendly Gaoler, leaving you unable to speak for the rest of the next game day.

Revealing this power is undoubtedly a risk to myself, I just want you all to think carefully before condemning an innocent man.

 

[Techno Natch]

Lee Wilson for execution.

Hmmm I'm genuinely stumped. My head says we need to be cautious still but if we never make a move then we wont get anywhere. We can't wait forever because the killing will start soon. For the circle of trust to have legitimacy they need to give us a wolf really. Why has the fith innocent not been named but the others have?

For now I will vote No Execution.

 

[Aberstone]

I'll be reading this all in fine detail before making a final decision tomorrow evening. Swaying towards no execution because I still can't work out who's bluffing and who isn't.

It is more beneficial for the citizens if our 5th addition remains unnamed. Me and Tom are now ordinary and pretty much had to reveal ourselves anyway the way this has all played out. LR was an obvious addition what with being the mayor. I'm hoping next game day we will uncover a wolf. When that happens, their name will be revealed and we will ask you to vote for them. If you then had any doubts over the validity of that claim, we'd ask you to trust us obviously with the price of failure being our heads on the line.

 

[Magic]

Alright. I'm happy to give Lee the benefit of the doubt. Let's see what the killers do (if they succeed this time) and then what happens with the seer the next day. Then I think we can start making judgements.

No execution.

 

[Spirederman]

I just hope everybody sees sense and follows my reasoning here. If we don't execute Lee, then he doesn't get killed, that makes him a sure thing to be a wolf as far as I'm concerned. With all of his tell-talery surely the Wolves would act to quiten him, and stop the circle of trust in it's tracks if only momentarily.
I have a one use power, and I really don't want to use it this early, I've explained part of it, but that's as far as I'm willing to go, although it does have more facets that I'm not yet comfortable revealing. It could however be extremely useful later in the game, if used correctly, especially if we have dissent in the innocents ranks, then I can basically quiten them, and prevent them from voting, to stop them trying to force an issue the rest of the village is against.

Assuming there is an angel, what if they protect him? We can't jump the gun killing someone just because they weren't topped off themselves.

 

[Techno Natch]

Jesus I wish I was given something useful all I've got is a fucking juggler for a son. He's rubbish at it too.

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Now you've said you have a power Spired, it wouldn't surprise me if the wolves came for you as Lee will be protected if he's not a wolf.

Killing me won't kill the circle of trust. If I'm executed, Tom and/or LR are still have to relay information as they see fit. Plus any new members whose identify being revealed is a benefit can be an information bearer as well.

Also, if I was a wolf, I'm not sure if I'd kill me at present. I'm the most suspected person in the game at the moment. It keeps the scent off of them. But still, I predict they may kill me because I reckon 1 of them in particular knows that I'm getting close.

 

[Spirederman]

I wasn't saying that Aber. I just meant it would heap huge suspicion on him, the way the game is currently poised. I do get why you thought that though, with how my post was worded.

Again, I didn't say kill the circle of trust Lee, just momentarily stop it in its tracks and prevent it from growing any larger if even for just one day.

 

[Spirederman]

Now you've said you have a power Spired, it wouldn't surprise me if the wolves came for you as Lee will be protected if he's not a wolf.

Nor would it me Cov. I just felt revealing it at this time, could help sway a vote of no execution, so we can see the Wolves next move without losing a possible innocent. if Lee is an innocent and I get killed for revealing this, then I'd be happy in the knowledge I'd given something to the village that may help it survive the wolf attacks. Lee and the circle currently hold much more power than I do on my own, even with an ability. It's not even an ability that can affect the Wolves in any way either to be reyt.

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

No Execution

 

[Aberstone]

Fuck sakes, going to continue sitting on the fence and await further instruction, no execution.

So the ability is you get to lock 4 villagers up for a day and prevent them from talking?

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

What?

 

[Stagat]

One thing making me lean towards believing Lee and his circle of fucking trust is that there are only three wolves out there. Him, LR and Tom wouldn't have drawn this heat on themselves and effectively ended this already, would they?

 

[Steady]

Has it been confirmed there's three wolves? Seen plenty mention it but can't remember SUTSS saying anything.

 

[HarvSFC]

It's in the rules on the OP, Steady. I just checked, as usually the amount of wolves is kept a secret.

 

[Stagat]

But still, I predict they may kill me because I reckon 1 of them in particular knows that I'm getting close.

However, if your power was single use, how are you getting close? And why do you reckon 1 of them in particular knows?

 

[Leewilson]

One thing making me lean towards believing Lee and his circle of fucking trust

That was far too angry. You need a beer, stranger!

 

[Cardsfan]

There is a legend that they tell of a huge monstrous dog that stalks the people of East Anglia. Black Shuck is his name. In the summer of 1577 he attacked in the Suffolk towns of Blythburgh and Bungay. A storm raged off the Suffolk coast and the people of Blythburgh retreated to the church for safety. The largest thunder clap you will ever hear pierced their ears and a flash of lightning broke through the windows of the church and blinded them. The doors of the church flew open and a demonic hound stood over them. He ran forward and savaged a man standing with his young boy and left them both dead. The villagers tried to attack the hound but they struggled with his immense power. Eventually they forced him out of their church and their nightmare was over. For now.

At the same time the town of Bungay had also retreated to their church. They knelt silently in prayer as the great hound stalked up and down the aisles. The hound picked his victims and standing between them he placed his humongous paws on their necks and cleaved their heads straight off their body.

A giant dog or the devil? So many questions remain unanswered from that night. The image of Black Shuck still haunts the nightmares of East Anglian children but the true story has never been told. Black Shuck wasn't a giant dog or the devil. Black Shuck wasn't even one entity. No, a family of werewolves had taken up residence on the Suffolk coast and the summer of 1577 was when they fed. What follows is the true story of that summer in Suffolk.

Rules:

I'll run over the basic rules quickly, but if for any reason you are in any doubt what so ever on anything, feel free to pm or ask me for clarification. In this game, there are going to be between 25 and 30 participants. You each assume a role of a fictional character in a village, an unspecified number of these villagers will be werewolves. The role of werewolf will be completely randomly assigned, and it will be completely hidden from everyone. You will receive a PM at the start of the game that will outline your role and whether you are a villager or a werewolf.
The game works in day and night cycles. During the day, the villagers vote amongst themselves in this thread, by speaking, asking questions or whatever you may have to say, on who they believe to be a wolf, and thus who they will execute. At the end of the day, the person with the most votes is hanged, and it is revealed if they were wolf or human.

The days last for approx. 48 hours in real life. The exception to this is the first day which is only 24 hours. There will be no execution on the first day and the villagers will decide on who will take the role of the mayor. Days will end at 9pm, any votes after this deadline will not count even if I'm not around to count the votes at 9pm. Once a day ends there will be a period of night time. Night time ends when I declare the day to have begun, I will confirm the end of the next day at this point.

During the night, there is to be no talking amongst the villagers in the thread, and the wolves will PM me their choices of who to kill, with 3 names in order. 1st will be worth 3 points, 2nd 2, and 3rd 1, and which ever person has the most points from the 3 wolves combined votes, will be killed. That person is then out of the game completely and is not permitted to talk in this thread until the game is over, regarding any matter at all, you must just observe.
Wolves must also vote during the day, as during the day, they are just normal villagers.

There are some positions above just being a villager or a werewolf:
-There is a mayor position to be voted upon by the villagers, whoever gets the most votes becomes mayor (whether he be wolf or human is another matter entirely....). The mayor gets the deciding vote if the votes are tied for who to execute, if he or she doesn't respond in time, I will randomly choose. If the mayor is executed, or killed by werewolf attack, then a new mayor is elected the next day.
-There is a position of Seer to be allocated to a villager at random, again to be completely unknown to the rest though. This person can PM me once every day, asking the nature of a specific villager - i.e. werewolf or human. I will answer completely honestly, and then it is the seers decision if they want to risk being found out as the Seer (and being werewolf bait almost definitely) to save/condemn a player, or to keep quiet and try and sway the votes through charismatic and logical thinking perhaps.

-There are also individual roles within your character that may enable you to do something extra. Not everyone has these and some are one use only, some can be used a select number of times and others can be used every game day.

Please do not, under any circumstances try to ruin the game in anyway. Taking a screen shot to prove your innocence, or prove something else is forbidden, and ruins the spirit of the game. You can PM each other, but I'll simply have to trust that no one cheats. Do not reveal your aims, or goals or anything.

You can say whatever the hell you want, otherwise! In this thread, it makes the game far, far, far more interesting if you stay in character, and you are actively encouraged to lie at times. There is no penalty other than perhaps a possible execution! If you want to pretend to be the seer, so be it. If you want to say the seer contacted you, and said something, so be it. The game is about deception.

Please, no outsiders to the game to post in this thread.

Put your votes in bold. Any votes not in bold will not be counted regardless of whether I see it or not. You may change your vote as many times as you wish before the deadline. You may vote for no execution.

Winning
If the villagers are reduced to an equal number of werewolves, i.e. 3 villagers, 3 wolves, then the wolves win.
The villagers must eliminate all 3 wolves however, to succeed.
There are points allocated however, for personal gain as well. You may, or may not be assigned a personal goal which you can choose to achieve or not, it only affects your personal tally. Survivors of the winning team will earn +2 points. Every person who correctly voted for a lynch on a wolf will get +1 point, and as I said, there are also personal goals for some people.
