WWJ XII: "Oh the tangled web we weave..."

This is a game of body snatching. The storyline will be saved for the game start. It is the Third age, so Occupations should be fitting of that age. Players if you so want, we can make the game in r-p style to make it more interesting. I will take votes on the junior thread as to what would be liked. (remember you may be "snatched" at any time and become a Thing yourself!)
Roles:

3 Things (WW'S)

1 Seer

1 Weaver

1 Ranger

9 Ordinary villagers


The Seer will dream of one player each night. They will pm the mod (me) with this dream. They will be told the role of the said player. The Seer may not pm with the Weaver at any time. The Seer may re dream about any player as many times as they like. If the Seer gets "snatched" by a Thing, they do not become a Thing themselves, they die slowly over 24 hours just as the Weaver does.

The Ranger will pm me their choice nightly of who they wish to protect for the night, they may protect the same villager twice in a row, but twice only. They must then protect someone else for at least one night. If the Ranger is "snatched" by a Thing, they do indeed become one themselves.

The Weaver will ask the Mod (me) about 2 players each night (via pm). They will be told if their is a connection between the two or not. There will be a connection between the two if they share the same role. ie: 2 Ordo's, 2 Baddies. Or there will be no connection between the two if they have different roles. ie: Seer and Ordo, or Ordo and Baddie and so on. The Weaver may at no time pm with the Seer. The weaver may pick the same player to weave as many time as they like. Players may pm me if they would like this role.

The 3 Things work as follows. The Things may pm with each other at night only. They will be assigned a random # each night by the Mod(me) Ex: Thing #1, Thing #2 and Thing #3. This will change each night and the Things are unaware who is what #. Each night the Things will have two duties. They will first each pm me a Thing, either #1, 2 or 3 (remember they do not know who is what)The thing with the most votes "wins". They will then discuss who shall be their victim, and pm me the name. The villager they pick will not die. The Chosen Thing will instead snatch the body of the chosen victim. The chosen Thing will then in turn die and the chosen villager will now be a Thing. Ex: Ok so say Myself, Lommy and Nogrod are Things. We chose Thing #3 for the night who happens to be say, me. And we chose to "kill" Naria (Ordo) I would die that night and be replace by Naria who would be told of her transformation and let in on who are the other things. The Thing that dies will be known as an Ordo at their death.

The only way to kill a Thing will be during the day with a lynching. The Things may not make any new Things if one dies. They may only switch bodies. If the Things chose the Weaver or Seer to body snatch, they will be told they chose the Weaver/Seer,as well as the Weaver/Seer will be told they were attacked, but the Weaver/Seer is protected for this one attack, giving the Weaver/Seer time to share their info with the village, the weaver has 24 hours and then they die. They do not become a Thing. NOTE: WHEN THE THINGS CHOSE THE SEER OR THE WEAVER, NO THING DIES, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SNATCH THE GIFTEDS BODIES. THE GIFTED (-Ranger) DIE OVER 24 HOURS. THEY WILL BE TOLD THEY ARE DYING.
