WEREWOLF LITE CDXXXVII: Ant Mimics
Ant mimicry is a survival technique used by some animals to look like ants. Some animals use it as a defensive mechanism to escape predation, but there are other predators who use it to consume their preferred prey without getting swarmed by the ants. If things were difficult enough that the miniature ant kingdoms wage continuous wars against their own species (or other ant species), but today, four (4) ant mimic predators have decided to invade one specific ant colony. Up to this point, the drone ants have not noticed presence of these ant mimics, but the colony suddenly are on high alert when they notice some of their fellow drones go missing. Will the ants figure out who are the "wolves in sheep clothing" or will the ant mimics get away with several days worth of free meals.
Rules: (Stolen shamefully from Arkasas)
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 an ant mimic. Each night, the ant mimics decide who to hunt. In each 24 hour period, the ants will lynch (by swarming their target), and the ant mimics will hunt. The ants can try to lynch multiple people by creating a TIE, and the ant mimics can also decide not to hunt anyone at all at night.
The ant mimics win if they reach parity with the ants. The ants win if they eliminate the ant mimics.
Roles:
12 X Drone Ants: My, Earth really is full of ants. The regular workers of the ant colony, serving their queen as best as possible. Must use their wits to find the "fake" ants.4 X Ant Mimics: These animals use ant mimicry to allow them to hunt ants without being swarmed by them. Every night, the ant mimics will hunt the real ants. Wins when they reach parity.
1 X Soldier Ant: The warrior class of the ant colony. Every night, they will check the status of one animal and find out whether it is a drone ant or a mimic.
