Roles:

Four (4) Lover teams:

Werewolf / Werewolf's Lover

Werebear / Werebear's Lover

Werecat / Werecat's Lover

Werebird / Werebird's Lover <-- Lovebirds, tee hee

One (1) Ranger

One (1) Watcher

At least ten (10) Ordinary Villagers

The Lovers are composed of one werecreature and one lover. They are allowed to PM each other at Night and get one (1) kill per night. Each team operates independently of the others and does not know the identities of the other Lovers. It is possible for one team to kill a member of another team. When one member of a team dies, the other dies as well, in traditional Lover fashion.

The ordo lovers comes up as innocent to the Watcher.

The Watcher is a combination of a Ranger and a Seer. Each night the Watcher is granted one (1) dream and one (1) protection. The Watcher may dream first. The Watcher may not protect the same person two nights in a row, but they may protect the same person on non-consecutive nights. The Watcher does not know the identity of the Ranger and may not PM the Ranger at any time.

The Ranger may not dream, but is allowed one (1) protection each night. The Ranger may not protect the same person two nights in a row, but they may protect the same person on non-consecutive nights. The Ranger does not know the identity of the Watcher and may not PM the Watcher at any time.

The Goal for each Lover team is to be the last team standing. The last team standing beats the other teams even if they are defeated by the Innocent Villagers in the end. But if they can manage to be the last two players alive, they win the overall game as well. They win if they can reduce the number of innocent Villagers to two (2). In this case, and this case only, the Ordo Lover counts as a werecreature.

The Villagers' goal is to kill every last Werecreature/Lover.

Ideally, I would like a minimum of 20 players for this game. There will be 8 werecreature/lovers and 2 innocent gifteds, and with less than 20 players that would leave less than half the village as ordos.

The game will start as soon as I can get 20 players, though I would welcome more if that were at all possible.

If I am not able to get enough players, I have two options:

Relinquish the next game to someone else with smaller plans, or myself run a smaller game. I have a character called the Basilisk in mind for a non-Lovers game (the Basilisk is a character which, if dreamt of at night, results in the Seer's immediate death). So I wouldn't be opposed to running that smaller game.

You can sign up here, or ask questions about the roles/gameplay for this game, etc. I would hope to start in a week or so, though if getting enough players requires a slightly longer wait, it's all the same to me, as long as others don't mind.

I love it that you actually took the reins to your hands and decided to mod the next game.

Sounds interesting, yet chaotic. Count me in.

I planned to take a rest from werewolfing now, but Ah! this sounds waay to much fun to let it pass.

Count me in.

I swore I'd never play in a Lovers game again (I tend to get betrayed

) but this just looks so interesting I can't resist.

Sign me up!

A question for you, Di: Will you be having homosexual lovers? Or will you reduce participants so that half are female and half are male? Or will you just say it doesn't matter if the start is unequal?

Diamond18 · 10-17-2006, 05:15 AM

Yay! Players!

As of right now it's my plan to have male/female parings... from the discussion before Cailín's game it seems that the majority would rather not having same sex lovers. And I need all the players I can get.

I don't think it'll matter if I don't get an exactly even half/half ratio... however if there's a heavy shift one way or the other, same sex pairs may be required out of sheer necessity.

Oh, and the deadline will be 9 PM or 7 AM, depending on my what my schedule is by the time the game starts.

Edit: that's my time. The timestamp on this post is 6:15 AM.

Another edit...

Ah, but in this game, the were and lover have no one but each other, so not much room for betrayal. It's going to be so romantic.
