Admin Thread for LXXIV: War of the Wolves

[Loslote]

Well I heard there was a werewolf game
With Lottie-mod, and co-mod Hakon
But you don't really care who mods it, do ya?
Well it goes like this
Two packs of wolves
Wolf-Seers, -Rangers, -Unicorns
Like anti-hunters, sort of - Oh confusion!
Oh, confusion!
Oh, confusion!
Oh confusion,
Oh confusion.

When Unicorns die, another from the grave
Does rise, and with a borrowed role
Like a Wight, regains a sort of life
And more than that, the cobbler's tounge
Can not be stilled by anyone
The first Seer-Wolf to dream xem, then can pm!
Oh confusion,
They can pm,
They can pm,
Oh confusion.

Not only they, but Lovers two
A mid-life crisis, marital wars
They only ever speak on odd-numbered Nights
And long before, another longed
The anti-lover, scorned, wins at their deaths
And, though dreamed, can pm, only belongs to xyr own team
To xyr own team
Oh confusion!
They can pm,
Oh confusion.

Of course there are still three gifteds
A Seer, Ranger, Unicorn
And the Seer, dreaming of a fellow gift
Then they can Night-speak
And they try to save the clouded eyes
And muddled brains, but their demise, it approaches!
It approaches,
To their own team,
Oh confusion,
Oh confusion.

Well maybe there's a moddess to amuse,
But all I've ever learned from Werewolf
Was how to shoot somebody who you suspect
And there's a cry that you hear at Night
Now multiplied by two, since the warring packs
Each get a Night kill. Half-hour before 2 am GMT
They must send picks in,
For their own pack,
Night approaches,
Oh confusion.

Actual rules are here and updated!

Roles

Wolves. Six of 'em. Three to a pack. Each pack of wolves consists of a Seer!wolf and a Ranger!wolf, and either a WereUnicorn or a Hunter!wolf. The wolf packs can not share victory with each other or with the innocents.

The Seer!wolves receive one dream every Night. If the Seer!wolf dreams of a rival wolf, they are only told that the player is a wolf, not their gift. If the Seer!wolf dreams of a gifted, they are told what the gift is.

The Ranger!wolves can protect anyone during the Night phase. They can protect themselves but they cannot protect the same person twice in a row.

If the WereUnicorn is killed, one of the dead players is returned to life. The dead player used to be innocent and will then be an ordo.

If the Hunter!wolf is killed, xe may take one person with them. Xe is not a "smart" hunter; that is, xe sends me one name and that person dies regardless of role.

Lovers. They are nearly traditional lovers. They win if both survive to the end. If one dies, follows xyr lover into death. However, they can only pm during odd-numbered Nights (One, Three, Five, etc.) Neither lover knows who the anti-lover is.

Anti-Lover. This poor soul was scorned by one of the Lovers once. Now they live for revenge. The anti-lover wins if the lovers are killed but xem survives until the end. The anti-lover is not on anyone's side but xyr own.

Seer. The Seer gets one dream every Night. If xem dreams of a wolf, they are not told the wolf's gift.

Ranger. The Ranger can protect xemself. The Ranger can not protect the same person two Nights in a row.

Unicorn. Same as the WereUnicorn, except on the innocents' side.

Hunter. Xe is not a "smart" hunter, but sends in one name. That person dies when they do.

Ordos. They want to kill the wolves, and may lynched one person per Day. If killed, they may get a chance at a different role via Unicorn.
