Werewolf Lite CCLI: A True History with Lycanthropes (and Apologies to Lucian)
Lucian's True History is a tale of fantastic sea-faring and space war. He warns his readers from the start that nothing in his story is true. Perhaps this clever dialogist feared that they would disbelieve the most incredible element of all, one that he had omitted. Among the companions on voyage were several shape-shifting lycanthropes. Does the True History lack an account of the return of protagonists because they met an unhappy fate at the hands of the despicable infiltrators? Or was the author simply too lazy to record the truth? Let's find out!
Standard Lite Rules
There shall be ??? players. Special Roles will be handed out shortly after the last person signs up. Everyone will get a PM, regardless of role.
GM will then declare the date of the first deadline.
The game is divided into two periods - night and day. For practical reasons these two periods take place at the same time, from one update till the next.
Each day, all players gather and decide 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 villagers 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 as well!
The werewolves win if they manage to reach parity with the villagers.
The villagers and seer win if they manage to kill all the werewolves.
