WEREWOLF LITE CDXXV: בְּמִדְבַּר
(Or: God Hates Seers, Part III)
It is 717 BC. Five years ago, Sargon II staged a coup for the Assyrian throne with the aid of the Israelite slaves. In exchange, he ended their 120-year captivity in Nineveh, and allowed them to resettle their ancient homeland. Gathering their wives, children, animals, possessions, and various traveling equipment, the Israelites set out into the Syrian Desert. There was just one minor issue; nobody thought to bring a map. (Or: God Hates Seers, Part III)
For five years, the Israelites have wandered the desert, lost. Morale has cratered. Order is breaking down; murder, theft and orgies are at an all-time high, wolves and sheep are being pastured together, and it doesn't rain. Worse, a growing number think that this whole "Promised Land" venture was a stupid idea, and everyone should just pack it up and go back to Nineveh. Despite all this, not to mention God's going incommunicado for five years, many among the people still have faith. In order to resolve this crisis, the High Priest has gathered together the elders to use the scriptures to divine where Israel actually is.
Unbeknownst to him, but beknownst to us, some of the elders are in favor of going back to Nineveh. Will they succeed? Or will the Israelites find their way home? Will Assyrian kings or lustful pencils be involved again? All these questions and more will be answered by the conclusion of this game!
Rules:
There shall be seventeen (17) players. Special Roles will be handed out after the last person signs up.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 take place at the same time, from one update till the next.
Each day, all players gather and decide to lynch one of the other players - the person they think is most likely to be pro-Assyrian. Each night, the pro-Assyrians decide who to kill. In each 24 hour period, the pro-Israelites will lynch, and the pro-Assyrians will hunt. The pro-Israelites can try to lynch multiple people by creating a deck, Lemeard-approved TIE, and the pro-Assyrians can also decide not to hunt anyone at all at night.
The pro-Assyrians win if they reach parity with the pro-Israelites. The pro-Israelites win if they eliminate the pro-Assyrians, for certain values of victory, because the old world is gone, and life still sucks and probably will for quite some time, but hey, optimism costs you nothing, don't it?
Roles:
12 (9) X Pro-Israelite Elders: These elders are some of the few learned scholars among the Israelites, hoping to use their knowledge to find the way home.4 (3) X Pro-Assyrian Elders: These other elders think the Israelites were better off in Assyria, and thus want to go back. (Hopefully not as slaves, though. They're not that morally bankrupt.)
1 X High Priest: This is the leader of the elders. Every night, he may choose to sup with one of his fellows, and thus glean which faction they are a part of.
