The Setting
It's the year 2018 and werewolf is running rampant. It has become one of the most famous games on parties and forums, played by millions. A real party game. As it happens in such cases, communities started bragging about their abilities and achievements and it didn't take long before seperate communities started competing. This led to the first ww world cup and much coverage across the media.
It was during this time that a former werewolf player and a hungarian billionaire named Daffius decided to do a 'reality show' with coverage across the world. TV channels immediately bought the idea and a plan was formulated. Daffius bought a small Island in the Indian ocean and created a small village by the beach. It was cramed with cameras with online streaming and he started the recruitment of the candidates to participate.
As can be expected, there were candidates from several countries and diverse skill levels. The grand prize was €1m tax free, but more importantly it was a luxury all included holiday on a beautiful Island. He hand picked 25 of those that would take part in his little game on the island. The players were then given their vaccinations, travel papers and transported to the little Island.
The first thing the players noticed was that the little village was abandoned. It could be seen that it was built recently, however there was noone there, no bartenders, no lifeguards, nothing, only them. The next strange thing was that the jeeps that brought them from the boat all had military personel with guns by their sides.
Upon entering the village the jeeps turned around and left towards the boats they came from without a word. An uneasy feeling decended on the participants as they stood in the town square with no idea what to do. Someone suggested to go into the neighbouring town hall, perhaps there is someone there that can give directions.
As could be expected the town hall was empty, however they did find an envelope on the table. One of the players openned it and read it out loud:
The players heart sank and they slowly made their way to their designated residence. The first night was dark and full of horrors.
Standard Big Rules
All roles will be handed out after the last person signs up, with all players receiving a private conversation containing the information they know of. The game will then proceed to a night deadline.
The game is divided into two periods, night and day. For practical reasons these two periods are run concurrently, from one update till the next. Each update is 24 hours apart.
Each day all players vote to lynch one of the players - the person they think is most likely to be a Werewolf. Each night the Werewolves decide who to kill. In each 24 hour period the village will lynch and the Werewolves will hunt. The players can try to lynch multiple people by creating a glorious, Lemeard-approved tie; and the Werewolves can also decide not to hunt anyone at all at night. Beware of Crovaxian slips!
Day time actions are carried out in the following order:
Werewolves will be divided into one or more packs, with one pack hunting each night. The order the packs hunt in will be known only to them. Also 1 wolf of each pack will hunt.
The Werewolves of a pack win if they eliminate all rival packs and, along with Sorcerers manage to reach parity with the rest of the village. The Sorcerers win with them.
The Villagers, Seers, Doctors, Padres, goodies win if they manage to destroy all the packs.

The Roles
Werewolves (Werewolf) and Vampires (Werewolf): Allocated to specific packs and cannot change allegiance. A pack may have any mix of Werewolf varieties within it. Each night one pack may choose a victim to hunt. The pack which gets to hunt is determined by an order known only to the packs. The victim is determined by the last order for that day sent by any Werewolf of the pack. The pack can chose the wolf to go on the hunt.
Evil Scientist (Sorcerer) : Win along with any one pack, and count towards parity for the Werewolves. Each night may scan one player. A Sorcerer will find out if they are a Werewolf, Vampire, FBI Agent or Religious Detective. All other players will appear as Villagers.
FBI Agent (Seer) and Religious Detective (Seer): Each night may scan one player. A FBI Agent will find out if they are a Werewolves; a Religious Detective will find out if they are a Vampire. All other players will appear as Villagers.
Doctors: May protect one person each night but can't choose to protect the same person two nights in a row. In case of an attack, the Doctor has a 100% chance of saving that person. The person saved will be unable to send in any votes or orders for the next day/night cycle but may also not be attacked directly while recovering. If the doctor is attacked, however, all patients are also attacked. If a patient wakes up again, he/she will remember one of the attackers. The patient does not learn the identity of the doctor.
Chaplains (Padre): Each night may choose one player to visit. If that player dies during the night the Padre will arrive in time to learn the name of one of those responsible. If the player was killed by the actions of a Secret Council, the Padre will learn the name of one of the players who voted to perform the action. Cannot protect the same player twice in a row and may never protect themselves.
Settlers (Villager): No special abilities other than traits and their own skills as players.
The Traits (choosable)
Werewolf Killer (Assassin): Once per game may choose one player to kill during the night. The Assassin's name is not revealed in the update.
One Eye Open: If attacked during the night one of their attackers has a 50% to be killed with them. If visited by the thief or the lover, has a 50% chance of killing them during the visit
Pathological Liar: Once per day may claim in the game thread any role or any trait except Blessed, Cursed and Secret Council Member, and send a quote of this to the Game Moderator by private conversation explaining what has been claimed. For the next update only they will be treated as having this role or trait and may use it accordingly. Exceptions to this are that claiming Werewolf will only change how the Pathological Liar appears to scanners and cannot result in them performing a hunt. Who the Pathological Liar counts towards for parity and their personal winning condition never changes. A particular role or trait may only be chosen once in the entirety of the game.
Plotter: May send their votes to the Game Moderator by private conversation. Any such votes will only be revealed in the final update, immediately prior to the lynch target being selected.
Paranoid (Spiritually Attuned): Has cameras all over his house. If scanned has a 100% chance to sense it occurred. They will then have a 50% chance to learn the scanner's role. If they succeed at identifying the scanner's role they have a 50% chance to learn the name of the player scanning them. They will not know if they were visited by the a mad seer or normal seer.
Lover: The lover visits players during the night. Whoever the lover visits cannot use their action that night. The visited will know that they have been visited by the lover, however they will not know the lovers name. Lovers can block hunts, if they block the hunting wolf the given night. Hunts on the lover will not fail.
Thief: A thief can steal traits (but not roles) each night, in which case the trait will be gained by the thief. If a role is 'stolen', the person that it was stolen from wil be demoted to basic goodie villager role, but the thief will not gain the role, wolves will remain wolves, sorc loses scan ability. Whoever the thief visits will become a rival to the thief. If the thief steals from a buddie, all other buddies will also become rivals. The update will only say if a stealing had occured. If the thief is lynched, all traits will be returned to their recipients, if however the thief is hunted, the traits are lost.
Framer: A baddie only trait. Can frame someone each night, if investigated, it turns up as a wolf.
Ghost Whisperer: Once during the game can get the planned action(s) of the person/people killed during the night.
Secret Council Member: Council will have 5 members and will be extremely powerful. You can get in the council by spending bidding points. The 5 people that had the highest bid will join the council. If more then a random selection occurs, points are not lost. Eg: 3 people bid 3 points, 3 people bid 2 points and 3 people bid 1 point. This results in the first 3 people who bid 3 points joining the council and from the 3 bidding 2 points only 2 will join the council (random), the third will be shortlisted and will be the first in line to fill in the next empty slot in the council seat. The 3 bidding 1 point will be randomly allocated the 2nd, 3rd, 4th empty seats in the council. If no further council members available the council will remain unfilled. The council will only function with a minimum of 3 people. If no more subs to the council and only 2 players remain, the council will be dissolved and this will be told in the update (the names of the remaining council members will remain hidden). An absolute majority is needed for the council to use their powers. Council will have undisclosed special powers that may not be among the rules.An example of one such power is; once during the game, the council can throw a party, where everyone is invited. The council will get a report on anyone that did not attend (aka: anyone using their power that night), but no their roles. The fact that there will be a party will be revealed in the update, so players will have a day to cancel their nightly orders if they so wish.
Tracker: Special rules apply. See spoiler below
CIA agent (Spy): special rules apply. See spoiler below
Traits (Not Choosable)
Blessed: If attacked by Werewolves will survive in the first instance. Any future attacks will succeed. A player might not be aware they are Blessed. Neither the cause nor the target of the failed hunt will be revealed in the update.
Cursed: If successfully attacked by Werewolves will become a Werewolf of that pack, of a variety determined at random. A player will not be aware they are Cursed. Neither the outcome nor the target of the hunt will be revealed in the update.
Mad FBI Agent (mad seer) and Mad Religious Detective (mad seer): If more than one player chooses seer roles, all players except one will become Mad. Mad seers scan completely randomly, they will scan the player but the result will be random. Mad seers will not be aware that they are mad.
Buddies: These are 3 friends who know each others alignment. If 2 of them gets killed, the third will become an Evil scientist (sorcerer) trying to revive them.
Rivals: Two players may start as rivals, in which case neither of them can win as long as the other remains alive. If both are still alive at game end, they both lose. If a player kills a rival, they will be granted a minor trait. The kill only counts if theirs is the first or last vote on the rival.
Special Spy Tracker Rules
Spieas and trackers have special rules. Each night the players (depending on role) roam around the village. The spies have a map of the village (see below) and have 3 options:
Option 1) They can visit any given player and follow the player during the night if he moves.
Option 2) They can visit any players house and try to find clues of their roles/traits
Option 3) They can visit any of the public locations and can spy on the players visiting those locations.
Note: Not all players will visit all locations that night. Players will visit at least 1 location during the night, these locations will be assigned at random. Spies can run into other players as well if they cross path during the night. Due to the RP aspect, spy reports will take longer to write and post, so expect delays in posting spy reports. Also due to the intensity of the spy reports (who went were and bumped into who) the GM exercises the right to a maximum number of spies during the game.
Trackers can also choose between option 2) and option 3). They will find out who was visited and have a 25% chance to discover by whome.
