Werewolf Lite CDXXVIII - Fire in the Lake
The year is 1968, and the Vietnam War shows no sign of ending. With the Tet Offensive having come and gone, morale on the home front has reached an all-time low, however, in the fields of Vietnam, no reduction of military personnel has yet to occur, and it seems unlikely to occur for some time.
You are a soldier in a US platoon during these dark times, and while you wish more than anything to return home safe and alive, there are those among you who wish to get out of Vietnam sooner, and reason that if casualties in your platoon get high enough, high command might decide to pull the survivors out before the entire platoon gets destroyed. Of course, waiting for the next Vietcong attack to do the job for them will take too long, so they've decided to grease the wheels, so to speak, and make sure some of their comrades die in "accidents."
Unbeknownst to them, however, one of you is an Army disciplinary officer, and has orders to find such people who seek to get out of Vietnam in underhanded ways, and court martial them, with the strictest punishments assigned to those found guilty.
Will you survive Vietnam?
Rules:
17 players will be taking part in this game. There can be no more than 17 players and sign ups will be closed once the number of players reaches 17. However, it is also possible to have the game start with less than 17 players should the GM deem it necessary - in this case arrangements will be made to accommodate the restricted number of players.
The game will start once the GM says so in the thread, and only then. The game will only be officially started once every player has received their role. Night 0 will fall on the first deadline after the game start, with a minimum of 24 hours before game start and Night 0.
The game will then proceed with a day/night cycle. During the day, players will vote to lynch one of them. The player with the most votes at deadline this day will be lynched. Should several players have the same number of votes, all will be lynched. Any vote posted at or after the time specified as deadline will not be counted.
The night deadline falls at the same time as the day deadline. Before the deadline, players whose roles can act during the night can contact the GM to tell him which action they wish to do that night. Any order given at or after the time specified as deadline will be ignored.

Possible roles:
US Army Soldiers (12): Desperate men who just want to live long enough to see the job done and get home safely, preferably with as many of you alive as possible. While unable to determine which of your comrades' opinions are dangerous, and which are just common thoughts you all share, they are able to work together to single out one person to have court martialed, and hope that it is one of the insane members of the unit.
Insane Killers (4): These men have been through one too many Vietcong raids, and are now desperate to leave Vietnam, no matter the cost, and if that cost is the deaths of their brothers in arms, then so be it.
May design each night one villager who will die.
Disciplinary Officer (1): This officer is dressed as a plain-clothed Army Private for his current mission of determining which soldiers in the platoon might secretly be plotting to get out of Vietnam through underhanded means like purposely getting themselves wounded... If only he knew what those men were really willing to do.
May design each night one villager to know his role (US Army Soldier or Insane Killer).
Victory:Insane Killers (4): These men have been through one too many Vietcong raids, and are now desperate to leave Vietnam, no matter the cost, and if that cost is the deaths of their brothers in arms, then so be it.
May design each night one villager who will die.

If only he knew what those men were really willing to do.
May design each night one villager to know his role (US Army Soldier or Insane Killer).
The US Army Soldiers and Disciplinary Officer win once every Insane KIller is court martialed (lynched), ensuring that the rest of the tour of duty can proceed quietly (or as quiet as a tour of duty in Vietnam can be).
Insane Killers win once they are exactly half of the remaining players, or greater, at which point they overwhelm their remaining comrades to gain victory, and get that redeployment they desire.
