Werewolf CCLXII: Trouble at Trinity
Trinity General School is the largest and wealthiest in Kivotos. Refined and cultured, Trinity students take their studies and classes seriously. A school with a grand Cathedral and magnificent buildings and architecture, it has the best facilities and the greatest resources, and its students are regarded as disciplined and rigorous. Unfortunately, troublesome tidings have begun to spread rumours throughout the school, even as Trinity moves to sign a new treaty with their longtime rivals, the barbaric and freedom-loving Gehenna Academy. Some people do not want Trinity to sign the treaty or want to see it destroyed- potentially even some ancient forces. Can the students root out the source of the problems before it is too late?

THE RULES
Welcome to the game of Werewolf, a fun game where you get to slaughter your fellow Paradoxians in cold blood! Theatricality and deception are powerful tools, and must be used wisely if victory is to be achieved! The GM should be included on all pertinent PMs. If you have any questions, send me a PM!
Also, shout out to marty99 and Panzer Commander, whose roles and traits and rules I have stolen quite blatantly, with some modifications.
THE BASICS:
The game is split into two sections, Night and Day. The Night happens after the deadline on each day, and orders for Night are given before the deadline. The game begins with a Night, the time when the Werewolves decide among themselves who to eat and special abilities are used. The Werewolves and the "special villagers" submit their choices/orders to the Game Moderator. Any orders not delivered in time will be IGNORED.
Day actions are handled in the following order:
0-Cloak of Invisibility
1-Votes
2-PM Votes
3-Brutals
Nightly orders are handled in the following order:
0. Cloak of Invisibility
1. van Helsing
2. Seer
3. Sorcerer
4. Priest
5. Hunter
6. Council
7. Robber
8. Werewolf (If multiple attack orders are sent from the same pack, the last order submitted is the one that counts).
9. Witness
10. Spy
11. Psychic
During the Day, the Villagers (including the Werewolves, who have assumed a human form) meet together to decide who is the Werewolf and therefore to be lynched for the greater good of the village. When a player has decided who to vote for, they type vote Player X in bold font and preferably at least size 3 (or clear from other text), this to ensure that your GM notices the vote. If they decide to change their vote, they type unvote Player X - vote Player Y.
Abstaining from voting without declaring absence three times during the game will result in autolynching (or being substituted by another player).
The deadline for nightly orders as well as voting is 1:00 GMT. Posts submitted 00:59 will count while posts submitted 1:00 will not.
No new players will be admitted into the game once it has started but it is possible to substitute for dropouts.
Spectators and Ghosts ("dead" players) may haunt, taunt and flaunt. They may not reveal any secret/inside information nor may they do voting records except for the current day. Anyone caught doing it risk being banned from later Werewolf games. When making a ghost/spectator comment, please use a non-white color.
Forged Private Messages (PMs) from players are allowed.
If you want to try anything you are unsure of, then ask the GM first, no exceptions. If I think something you did is against the spirit of the rules, then you get autokilled.
THE ROLES:
Trinity Student (Villager): A student at Trinity General School. Good. Has no special abilities.
Traitor Student (Werewolf): A student from another academy, secretly working to undermine Trinity. Evil. Can choose to hunt one person at night. More specific hunting rules might be given to the werewolves but will not be public knowledge.
The rest of the roles may or may not be used in the game.
Tea Party Host (Seer): The head of Trinity's ruling council. Good. May scan someone on occasion to see if they are a Werewolf or an apprentice.
Sisterhood Leader (Priest): the head of the Sisterhood, an ancient organisation in charge of the Cathedral with an extensive intelligence network. Good. Has the ability to scan for cultists, apprentices and sorcerers. Note that the van Helsing will scan as a cultist to the Priest.
Vigilante Head (van Helsing): The vigilante acts on their own to protect the Trinity district, even if it is a lonely job. Good. Has a one-time super-scan ability which reveals all roles and traits, and has the equivalent ability of both One-Eye Open and Hunter. Once his hunter shot is used, he loses his One-Eye Open trait. Scans as a cultist to the Priest.
Tea Party Traitor (Sorcerer): Unbeknownst to the other council members, a member of the Tea Party is working with the rival factions in order to get rid of the other members. Baddie - Has the ability to scan for cultists, priests, seer and apprentices.
Blackmailed students (Cultists): Students who have been or can be exploited to support other forces. Baddie; work with the wolves and count for parity if attached to a pack. Can only win if its pack wins and dies if the last wolf in the pack dies. Some cultists may start as part of a pack, but can never switch to another pack, unless all the wolves in that pack are dead. Some may start unattached, and may join a pack by sending a private message to the GM, as long as a wolf confirms this. They will not count for parity if unattached.
Justice Task Force President (Guardian Angel): The head of Trinity's security and defense and peacekeeping force, known as the Justice Task Force. Sends in a protection order once per night. Should the selected person be attacked by Werewolves, they will survive, and the update will tell the village no hunt occurred during the night. The Guardian Angel, aka GA, can never protect themselves, nor can they protect the same person twice in two nights.
Remedial Knights President (Doctor): No matter the hurt, the Remedial Knight President will strive to save the lives of the innocent. Sends in a protection order once per night. Should the selected person be attacked by Werewolves, the GM will roll a dice, and the selected person has a fifty percent chance of surviving the attack, and a fifty percent chance of death. Should they survive, they will not be allowed to post, vote or talk about the game in any medium with the players (much as if they were not playing/dead) during the day after the hunt. If the Doctor is attacked whilst a patient is recovering, they will both be killed. The patient, upon waking up after a day without posting, will remember the name of one of the werewolves that attacked them. They will not be told who saved them.
THE TRAITS
The traits may or may not be used in the game.After-School Sweets Club (Village Council Member): connoisseurs of the most delectable treats the district has to offer, and good friends with a few tricks up their sleeves. The Council will consist of several members- each member will know the names of the rest. The Council may have several finite miscellaneous powers it can use, at maximum one per night. For it to work, an absolute majority of all those who voted must vote for the same target. If the council goes below two players, the unused powers are rendered null and void.
Brutal: Prone to bursts of extreme anger, upon being lynched or brutalised, they may kill one person in addition to themselves.
Gacha luck (Blessed): You keep coming back to roll for more. If the blessed person is hunted by werewolves during the night, they will lose their trait, but survive. The update will say that no kill occurred during the night. Holders of this trait will not be aware of it at game start.
Rotten luck (Cursed): You always have a streak of terrible luck. Upon being hunted by werewolves, they will become a werewolf of the pack that hunted them, and lose their previous role. They will survive. The wolves will be informed of the cursed player when they are hunted. The Seer, Priest, and van Helsing, and any apprentices of them cannot be cursed. If a cursed apprentice becomes seer, they will stay cursed, and may change from a seer to a werewolf when hunted. The update will say no kill occurred during the night. Cursed players will not be aware they are cursed at game start.
Rival: The Player has a rival. The player only wins if said rival is dead at end of game, and they are on the winning side. In a quest to find some kind of meaning in life, these players have decided they must kill each other. Both players will be aware of the name of the other rival, but will not know their role.
Librarian (One-Eye Open): Members of Trinity's Library Committee, the largest library in Kivotos. If this person is attacked in the night, he will manage to kill one his assailants before dying. Holders of this trait will not be aware of it at the game start.
Justice Task Force Member (Hunter): One of Trinity's Justice Task Force. Has a one-time ability to shoot someone dead in the night. Their name will be revealed if they choose to do so.
First-Year (Apprentice): These students are young and impressionable. If an apprentice is scanned by a scanning role, i.e. seer, priest or sorcerer, they become claimed by said role. If their master who scanned them dies, the apprentice will succeed them and gain their role (and lose any other they had at the time). They will not lose any of their traits, except apprentice, when that happens. A sorcerer's apprentice, whatever their role, is considered a baddie and will count for parity, and hence baddie victory, with any pack. A claimed apprentice, including if there is one at the start, will be told his master's name and role. A scanner can have multiple apprentices, and if he is killed, the apprentice that was claimed first succeeds him, and the second (and any more) apprentices will become apprentices of the new scanner. Will not be told they are apprentices at game-start unless they start attached.
Kronos Watcher (Spy): Students who keep a tab on the pulse of the Kivotos media, and can get it. If a player has the Spy trait, he will have the ability to spy on another player, revealing clues to the role of that player, but never the role itself. Some clues may be useless, others not. The spy may spy on the same player again to try to obtain more information.
Prophetic Dreams (Spiritually Attuned): This student has prophetic dreams which give them premonitions of things which will happen. If scanned, will sense so. Has a 50% chance to tell the role but not the name of the scanner, a 25% chance to tell the role and the name of the scanner, or 25% for no further result.
Psychic: Once per game, may find out how many evil players are still alive.
Witness: By asking by PM, the witness may see the nightly hunt and record the name of one of the werewolf attackers. The chance of the witness recording the name of one of the wolves is the day number multiplied by 10% (ie. 0 night 0, 10% night one, 70% night 7, etc). Whether the ability is successful or not, upon asking to use their witness powers they lose their trait. Success of this trait does not depend on whether the hunt succeeded, unless the wolves chose not to hunt at all, in which case the witness roll always fails.
Tea Party member (Seerish powers): Having an understanding of the art of alchemy, giving insight into the nature of the universe. Once per game, may scan a player. He will be told if they are a werewolf or apprentice, and if they are neither he will be told they are simply a villager. After the trait is used, it is lost. He will not be told if an apprentice has been claimed or not.
Sisterhood member (Priestly powers): The sisters aide with the operation of the Church, and thus have access to some of its intel. Once per game, may scan a player. He will be told if they are a cultist, sorcerer, or apprentice, and if they are not he will be told they are simply a villager. After the trait is used, it is lost. He will not be told whether an apprentice is claimed or not.
Library Archivist (Sorcerous powers): Those who have access to Trinity's older, less circulated papers. Once per game, may scan a player. He will be told if they are a seer, priest, cultist, or apprentice, and if they are not he will be told they are simply a villager. After the trait is used, it is lost. He will not be told if an apprentice is claimed or not.
Wealthy (Plotter): This person comes from a wealthy family, and can use their connexions to get things done discreetly. May use PM to the GM for voting in which case the plotter's vote will not be revealed until the final vote count.
Third-year (Alderman): As an upperclassman, can use their status to have a little more clout in school decisions. Once activated (by PM to the GM) his vote is worth two votes for the duration of the game.
Credit card (Cloak of Invisibility): This precious item allows for many strange and mysterious things in Kivotos. A player possessing a cloak of invisibility may once during the cause of the game become invisible, i.e. scans of him that night will return "nobody at home", wolf attacks will fail as if the player was GA protected, hunter/assassin attacks will miss and the player will even dodge the lynch mob making the runner up lynched instead of him etc. However wearing the cloak will also block any other actions of the wearer for that day/night cycle such as voting, scans, attacks and even counting for parity etc.
Pathological Liar: Can each day claim publicly in the thread claim a role or trait (excluding hidden roles/traits - cursed, blessed, apprentice) from this post. Must then PM the GM quoting the post and claiming the use of the role/trait for the upcoming day/night cycle. Can only claim the same role/trait once for the cause of the game. For the Liar the following are considered the same role/trait: Seer/Seerish powers, Priest/Priestly powers, Sorcerer/Sorcerous powers, and Hunter/van Helsing. A Liar claiming wolf will scan as a wolf but will not hunt. If a Liar claims Zombie he will be susceptible to zombie hunting that night. Pathological liars cannot claim a Cloak of Invisibility.
Bank Robber (Robber): A student, somehow, who has experience robbing banks. Once through the course of the game the thief can choose a player and steal all their traits, including hidden ones. The robber's role, however, will not change. In the update it will be made public that a robbery has taken place during the night but not who the robber was or who was robbed. The robbed person will be notified of the fact that they have been robbed.
