WW58: Sinister Sign ups

[Dominion of Compassion]

Hello all!

Sign ups have now begun! I’ll leave them open for two weeks from today, maybe less if we have a ton of people sign up right off the bat!

See you guys soon!

DoC

Ps- more info coming this evening regarding this particular game!

[Ater Nox]

I'll sign up to this mysterious game.

[Dominion of Compassion]

A new family just moved in next door. A man, a woman, and one son. Unbeknownst to the neighborhood, a terrible curse has moved with them.
*******************************
At the welcome party for them, hosted in their home, you get aquatinted with the mother, Courtney. Secretive and protective, she hints at a traumatic event at their previous home. You meet her husband, and who is referred to as ‘Deputy.’ He refuses to discuss the moniker with anyone. The child, Dylan, meets you as well, and by his face, you can tell he carries a heavy weight in his heart.

Suddenly, during the celebration, the lights go out. An old fashioned projector reel, that no one can recall placing there, turns on, and displays an unnerving video of a boy who looks just like Dylan, but not identical, staring silently at the camera while not speaking, eerie music overlaying the scene. Dylan whispers “No! Not again...” Deputy calls for a complete rollcall of people in attendance.

The neighbors and Deputy’s family (village team) reply:

Nancy, Bill, and their son, James- villagers

Juliet, Ben, and their daughter,Tiffany- Masons (they start out knowing each other in one game thread. Can communicate.)

Courtney- defender, can defend the same person multiple nights if she chooses.

Deputy- investigator, will get three possible roles when he scans a person.

Dylan- seer, can scan one person each night and glean their role. If he scans his brother, Zack, Zack crosses to the villager team. No official seer’s army, but can compile a message thread if he chooses.

Unseen, Zack, the boy from the screen, steps into the room, and watches the proceedings. He knows no one can see him anymore, except his brother, Dylan.

Neutral roles-

Zack- Dylan’s brother who was corrupted by an evil spirit. His only shot at redemption is to be scanned by Dylan before Milo finds him. If Dylan finds him first, he becomes a living villager again. If Milo finds him first, he becomes totally corrupt and can’t be redeemed. When Zack is scanned by either, he gains the ability to kill one person each night. Defender can still block him.

The professor- a friend of the Deputy, he brought a collection of Home movie reels from a cursed box in the last home he investigated, along with reels that can undo the curse. Sadly, he mixed them up, and will have to randomly give them to people. As curator, he can hand a random reel to people, and they suffer the effects, for ill or for better. Some may cleanse the evil ghosts, setting them free to the afterlife, or they can curse the living with side effects that make them seem suspicious. Has 6 reels total, 3 good, 3 bad. If the Boogieman get one, it will have no effect.


In the attic, Milo and his horde of ghost compatriots wait menacingly for their master, the Boogieman.

Evil roles:

Boogieman- hidden until Milo is dealt with. If scanned by the deputy, he will register as only good roles, until Milo is gone. Dylan can see through his camouflage, however, but no one will believe him if he tells them before Milo is gone. (Dylan will have to hold the information.) If Zack is converted to a villager, Zack can dispatch the Boogieman at any time, because he always believes his brother (Dylan can confide in Zack, even if Milo is still present.) Boogieman can only be lynched after Milo is gone.

Milo- one of the children corrupted by the Boogieman. He acts in his stead, and can convert Zack if he finds him before Dylan does. (When scanning, the only answers he will receive are “It’s Zack” or “it
isn’t Zack”)

Emma- having killed her parents in the snow, she can freeze one person for the night, blocking them from using their roles. When she does, that person cannot be killed by the ghost team.

Good luck!

[Dominion of Compassion]

Rules:

Wolf team (the ghosts plus Boogieman) start off knowing each other in one thread. They vote on who to kill each night.

Masons start off in one thread as well.

No posting screenshots of roles! Ejection is the punishment for that.

Feel free to role claim.

Feel free to PM, just include me in all PM’s.

Ghosts win when the people are tied with their number. People win if they elimate all enemy players. Zack can win by winning with whatever team he gets scanned to, or by remaining neutral and alive until the end. Professor can win only by making it to the end.

Happy hunting!

*Depending on the number of people who sign up, we can add more town people.

I was about to ask the same thing.

Also, in.

[Ater Nox]

Maybe the game involves time travel

[Elite]

XKI's WW franchise has been bought by Disney, so we've had to overwrite some of the canon to keep the new overlords happy.

Do they issue stocks? I'm sure if I buy those, I get filthy rich.

[Hahiha / USSR]

I'm in.

[Aersoldorf]

In

[The Community of Goldenfyre]

wow this looks REALLY good... I mean like, amazing.

But I don't think this wherewolves thing is my thing... I don't think I'd be anything for the game, as i never have been... and I finally know Werewolves is just not for me.

So I will have to pass, great idea though, hope yall have fun <3

[Palman]

I'll be in, DoC. I would like to clarify:

In the attic, Milo and his horde of ghost compatriots...

Emma is not much of a "horde", am I to assume there are other ghosties, but only Milo and Emma have role powers? Or is this something that will be determined after we know how many players there will be?

Second question: what rule will you being using for tie breakers? What rule will you be using for voting "no lynch/abstain"? Is there a rule for punishment for failing to participate (posts quota, vote requirement etc.)? That was... more than one question...

The full amount of townies and non powered villain roles will be decided once we have an accurate player count, i purposely left them a little small so we could add more depending on how many joined!

No lynch is free on day 1, other than that, no no lynch voting. Abstain will cause the next highest to be lynched. After three day phases of no posting, that person will die. They don’t have to vote, but they do have to post at least once a day. I’ll allow a mayor to be elected to break the ties.

[The Olog-Hai]

Sure why not, I'll join. Seems like it'll get a little complicated, but...

[SweetHaven]

Thanks for the invite, but I am going to pass.

Have fun everyone

[Aersoldorf]

Need. More. Victims.
