Nicely done. Few here have gone to such lengths to stay in character.

VOTE: Generic

Agreed. Very well played. I wish I could play a role a tenth as well as this. Bold strategy as well.

Paging Claybird or Zeldafan to come finish this off.

Glad I wasn't lynched the first day, surprised they kept me around all this time

Thanks guys. For old times' sake....

VOTE: doner24

too funny....

Vote for Generic and finish this off!

No, vote for doner.

Join me on the dark side...

Wow...
VOTE:GENERIC

Looks like that's a wrap.

Paging Mitch the Kokiri!

I'm ready, Overlord Kokiri. Take me to the gallows...

Holy crap! A lot went down while I was at work! But it looks like the last wolf has been taken out! Great job stinker.

By the way is that 4 votes for generic?

Don't get it wrong, Link. I'm not a wolf. I'm far superior.

Thank you but the credit doesn't go to me. doner24 was the one who made the discovery.

Just looked back on the computer and saw my mistake haha my phone makes things a little harder to read.

Ok Generic, you were on a roll taking us all down, but did you have to take down Kokiri as well?

One way to win the game I suppose!

Alright guys, that's enough to lynch Generic but I'm in Copenhagen this weekend witb no compiter so the updates gonna have to wait until Monday. Apologies all around for the suspense this will cause.

Bump

Well, he didn't say which Monday did he...............

lol

It took the village a considerable amount of time before deciding what to do. There were so many questions remaining in the air, and no mistakes could be afforded. The villagers looked at each other restlessly. Finally, doner24 came forward and expressed his extreme suspicion of Generic. “He’s been really very shady, many signs point to him…”
 
Generic immediately came on the offensive, calling out doner24 and explaining his own suspicions: “Listen, doner has truly done nothing to prove that he’s Town at all. What did he do? Role claim a vanilla townie? I honestly believe doner to be a killer. What about that ash you woke up in? Has everyone forgotten about that!?! Why is everyone just letting it go? Odds are you have a night ability.”
“But wait!” piped up another villager, “doner has led the charge against nearly every wolf so far.”
“Doesn’t matter,” responded Generic, “I don’t think he’s a wolf. I think he’s a vigilante. He doesn’t care who dies!”
Everyone gasped, and turned towards doner slowly. “Listen you guys, he’s trying to trick you! I’m telling you it only makes sense that Generic is a wolf! Why else would he have been on MrWunderful’s list of Townies?” 
This was a fact even Generic would have trouble responding to. “And stinker too! They’re the ones who are suspicious!!” yelled doner, now beet-red in the face.
“Actually…” came a small voice, and so stepped forth stinkerhubbin, the quiet but ever-present player, “I have a confession that needs to be made. Generic, will you do the honors?”
“Me and stinker are Neighbors. We’ve been communicating for a while now, and can vouch for one-another.” Stinkerhubbin slowly nodded in agreement. Well…this surely made things interesting.
“Well,” spoke buyatari2, “we know now that Generic and Stinker are neighbors, and myself and ZeldaFan are masons. That leaves doner24 and CLAYB1RD. We’ve already heard doner’s arguments, CLAYB1RD, have anything to say?”
CLAYB1RD stepped forward, “I feel it is time I come forth with my role. I am Link, and I am the one who brought back dra600n.” No one could claim otherwise, making it very convincing that he was telling the truth.
A villager then spoke up and claimed that everyone should say who they are, to weed out the liars. “I’m the Zora diving instructor” claimed doner. “Nabooru, the Sage of Spirit” said ZeldaFan. “Aveil” was buyatari’s reply, while stinker claimed to be a Kakariko Guard, and Generic claimed to be Malon of Lon Lon Ranch. “Hmmm…” said buyatari2, “No one seems super unbelievable, but here’s a crazy theory…” everyone leaned in close to listen. “What about SAG? We never found out his role…what if he was Link and CLAYB1RD is lying?”
“Impossible” someone snapped back quickly, “he claimed to be Rauru, the Sage of Light. It would only make sense, seeing as all the other Sages are accounted for.” That was true…
“Well then one of the groups is lying…the only question is who…”
 
The Townspeople were extremely anxious at this point, not sure who was lying. The trail of deceit had been uncovered, but what lie at the end remained a mystery. “I’m gonna take a walk…” said doner, maybe some fresh air will clear by mind a little.” And off he went.
Meanwhile the other Townies continued to talk to one another. “Hey, I just thought of something” said buyatari, “ZeldaFan and I are positive each other are Town, we were given confirmation of that fact, but stinker, you said Generic and yourself have no knowledge of each other’s roles, correct? Maybe one of you is evil, while the other is good!”
“As possible as that may be, I have no reason not to trust Generic” responded stinker, “he has been a loyal friend and good colleague.”
 
Meanwhile on doner24’s walk through the field…
 
Doner wasn’t sure what to think. His head was swimming, but no matter what way he thought of it, his reasoning kept coming back to Generic. It had to be Generic, but how could he prove it to his fellow Townspeople? “Ugh…” he grumbled under his breath, exhausted from thinking so much. “WOAH!”
Doner toppled to the ground. In his heavy thinking, he hadn’t been watching where he was going and tripped over something. He rubbed his head, and look at what he tripped over. His mouth fell agape and his hands shook. HIS PROOF!
 
Back in the Town center…
 
The debate had ceased to end, and thus did continual fights that went in circles. It wasn’t until doner came running back to camp holding a bundle of rags, upset and furious, did people’s attention draw to something else. “Doner? What’s the matter?”
Doner gently placed the bundle of rags on the ground, and pointed a vicious finger at Generic, “It’s you! It’s ALWAYS been you, hasn’t it!”
Everyone became very interested and also scared at this point. Doner was practically screaming, like everything he’d ever wanted to say was finally flowing out at once, the cork on the proverbial champagne bottle ejected at lightning speed. “WHO DID YOU SAY YOU WERE AGAIN?” Generic just stared, flustered as hell.
“WHO ARE YOU GENERIC!?! WELL?!? I’M WAITING!!!”
“I already told you! I’m Malon, from Lon Lon Ranch!” Doner had a smile so big it could be used as a Halloween mask. “THEN EXPLAIN THIS!!” and with a woosh of the bundled rags on the ground, doner exposed the dead body of Lincoln, or rather, the real Malon of Lon Lon Ranch, who had died several days before. Her body was cold and rotten, an extremely sad image.
“I think you have some explaining to do…”
Stinkerhubbin looked up at Generic with wide, wet eyes, heartbroken and shocked. “Generic…how could you…”
 
Generic bolted. Soon every member in the village was on his heels. He tried to escape, but it was to no avail, doner ran as fast as his legs could carry him and tackled Generic to the ground. Realizing his defeat, Generic began to laugh maniacally.
“Any last words?”
Generic looked up at his fellow villagers… “Do you know what it’s like to be a puppet?” (Cue Generic’s ultra-super awesome monologue)
 
After he had finished, Generic’s glowing, yellow eyes stared directly into doner’s. “Good riddance…”
SHINK! Before the Townspeople could string him up, two metal blades suddenly pierced through Generic’s body. Generic looked down slowly at his now profusely bleeding torso. Doner let go of Generic instinctively, and just stared in amazement. A dark, black portal suddenly opened out of nowhere, seemingly ripping apart a place in space-time. The portal had a vacuum-like effect, and heavy pressure (what could be assumed as gravity) started pulling towards it. Weirdly enough, however, it only seemed to be affecting Generic. Generic flailed and flailed, screaming as blood continued to flow from his dying body. He slowly got sucked into the portal, as he clawed at the grass and whatever else he could touch, trying not to be pulled in. “NO! PLEASE! NOT THERE! ANYWHERE BUT THERE! I CAN’T GO BACK! NO! NOOOOOO!!!!!!” His attempts being for naught, Generic was soon entirely inside the dark portal, before it closed with lighting-fast speed, generating a fairly large shockwave that threw the villagers off of their feet. The five of them looked up with Generic nowhere to be found…

Generic
 
You are Phantom Ganon, an Independent Player.
 
You are a phantom beast who was created by Ganondorf in his own image. You reside within the Forest Temple, guarding it solemnly. Now, Ganondorf has enlisted you as a member of his Wolf pack to destroy Hyrule! However, you are tired of living your life as a pawn, and that is why you have turned traitor.
 
Role: Betrayer / Neighbor. You are a Double Agent Wolf. This means that every other Werewolf believes you are a normal fellow Werewolf, and you may talk at any time during the game with your fellow Wolves in a separate private topic. Your fellow Wolves are Ganondorf, the Alpha Werewolf (Dragonite31533), Volvagia (Commander Santa), Morpha (attakid101), Bongo Bongo (JaxsBox), and Twinrova (MrWunderful). During the Game Night, you and your fellow Werewolves must come to a conclusion on who to kill.
 
However, you do not have a Wolf win condition. Your goal is to kill every other player besides yourself. Also, while you may aid the Town in any way you wish, you must never claim who the Werewolves are in the public thread (e.g. “So and so are the Werewolves and I can prove it!”), for if you do your fellow Wolves will pull the plug on your Phantom life and put you into the void between dimensions (killing you.)
 
You are also a Neighbor with a fellow player, stinkerhubbin, (who is not a fellow Wolf.) You may communicate with them at any time during the Game Day only in a separate private topic. You are secret pen-pals with this player, and know nothing about them, including their role, abilities, and alignment. You must also not mention anything directly about the Werewolves’ identities in your secret conversations with this Neighbor, or both you and the Neighbor will be killed instantly.
 
Lastly, you will gain an additional hidden ability if and when you remain alive while all other Werewolves have been killed….
 
Hidden Ability: Vigilante. You are now a full-time Vigilante. Each night, you may PM me the name of a player, and, unless otherwise blocked, you will kill them. This attack is counted as a vigilante kill and will not connect you with the Werewolves in any way. You have henceforth lost your ability to Wolf kill, and will use Vigilante kills now instead. You still have your other abilities, such as your Neighbor ability. 
 
Win Condition: Kill all other players.

As the five townspeople collected themselves, they noticed one Townsperson, ZeldaFan042, to be holding the two blood-soaked swords. Everyone gasped, especially buyatari2. “ZeldaFan, I don’t understand… we’re both Townspeople… why does it look like you’re a vigilante?”
“I have some serious explaining to do” said ZeldaFan. “I am a vigilante. But I’m a vigilante for the Town! If you look back at my kills, they were very sporadic. That’s because I could only bring myself to kill someone when I felt like I had a good idea of what I was doing, such as after we lynched a wolf. I tried to kill suspicious people, such as Ferris Bueller and Vectrex… I’m sorry if I scared any of you with my killings, and I’m also sorry I’ve kept this a secret for so long, I just knew that if I came out with the ability you guys would kill me instantly.”
 
Buyatari2 came forward and put a hand on ZeldaFan’s shoulder. “It’s okay. As long as you’re a Townie, that’s all that matters.” ZeldaFan looked up at his mason partner happily, “Thanks partner.”
“But wait…” said doner24, slowly stepping forward, “if you’re the other vigilante, then does that mean…?”
There was suddenly a large, booming light, like a reverse lightning bolt, that shot towards the sky. Fantastic, glowing bulbs that looked like fireflies suddenly rained down on the remaining villagers. The next thing they knew, knowledge and memories came flooding back to them, like a dam was suddenly broken and the river continued to flow all at once, everyone’s facial recognition came back to them, the memories of Hyrule, the senses they were once used to. The spell had been broken. The villagers looked at each other and started breathing heavy, as gasps of relief filled their lungs. They recognized each other all right, and everyone around them was surely good.

Soon after, it finally hit the villagers: it was finally over. The nightmare was over. The memory of SAG26 also came back to the Townies, may the goddesses let his soul rest in peace.

SAG26

You are Rauru the Sage of Light, a Townie.
 
You are a Hylian sage that protects the Temple of Time, now that the Goddesses need you, it is time to do your duty.
 
Role: Detective/Old Man. Each Game Night, you may PM me the name of a player. There is a 50% chance you will receive all information about that player’s role, including an exact copy of their role card, their nightly abilities, and alignment. However, if you attempt to discover a player’s role and fail, a public announcement will be made during the next Game Day’s update explaining your failure with a clue that may assist other players in discovering your role. Please note that you do not need to use your nightly ability if you do not wish to do so.
 
Secondly, you are the Old Man. By the end of the third Game Night, even if you are still alive, you will die of old age. If you remain alive by the morning of the fourth Game Day, you are allowed 24 hours to make one final post (these are your last words). As soon as your last words are spoken or 24 real-life hours pass in the fourth Game Day (whichever occurs first), you will die.

HIDDEN ABILITY: Spectre
Once dead, you may send one message per Game Night of 20 words or less to Link, a fellow Town-aligned player. That player will be aware of who you are while receiving these messages.
 
Win Condition: Town Win. 
 
Moderator’s Note: Because SAG26 was killed by the Wolves instead of his natural Old Man death, he was unable to use his Spectre ability or post any last words. SAG was completely unaware that this hidden ability ever existed, due to his untimely death.

 A large booming voice, the voice of the Goddesses, suddenly fell over the five remaining villagers. “Congratulations, young heroes, you have successfully ridden our world of evil. You have saved our creation, and for that we are truly grateful.”
Some villagers went to speak back, but before they could get a chance, their vision was blurred by an extremely powerful source of light. The next thing they knew, they were back in the Temple of Time. The five of them, standing there, back in the real world, Ganondorf and the evil threat gone, the nightmare of the past eight days, finally over. They were obviously happy to have survived, and glad that they were able to stop the evil from consuming the world, but there was still a sense of solemnity to the picture, for 20 people had just died, either directly, or indirectly, by their hands.
ZeldaFan042, or rather, Nabooru, the Sage of Spirit, was the first to speak. She approached CLAYB1RD, or rather, Link, slowly. “I’m assuming the people will expect you to lead them now, after such a disaster…you are the Hero of Time after all…”
“Yeah, I suppose so…” Link responded.
Nabooru was almost in tears. “I…I’m just so sorry…Ganondorf was one of us…and he…he did all of this… I just pray you can find it in your heart to forgive my people…”
Link grabbed her hand gently and reassuringly. “I don’t blame you Nabooru, I am simply glad to have you on my side. Ganondorf was an evil man, there’s no way you could have predicted what he was going to do…”
“Thank you, hero… I just wish there was some way we could make this all go away…and go back to the kind world we once knew…”
The other three villagers nodded in melancholy, universal, agreement.
Suddenly, there was yet another flash of bright light, and the villagers gasped as a symbol of the Triforce, that is, all three golden triangles, suddenly appeared and began to glow on the back of Link’s hand.
The Triforce…
Link suddenly smiled widely, remembering the power of the Triforce… it may grant the wish of any who poses it. Those with a righteous heart will bring Hyrule into an age of prosperity…
Link’s heart fluttered with joy before he reached a hand out to shake Nabooru’s.
“Maybe we can bring it back…” he said with a laugh.
 
THE END. THE TOWN WINS!
 
Congratulations to doner24, buyatari2, ZeldaFan042, Stinkerhubbin, and CLAYB1RD, as well as the rest of the Town, on assuming a Townie victory!
 
I just want to thank everyone who took the time to play this game of Werewolf. It wasn’t the smoothest of rides, so the fact that you all stayed with it to the end was very kind of you. I noted in the Graveyard thread that I expected this game to end weeks ago, but due to unfortunate circumstances it got pushed into my semester abroad, which exponentially increased the time it took to get the updates out. It is a lesson learned on my part and I will make sure to give myself a time cushion in the future so that this doesn’t happen again. Even so, I felt that this game was an extremely successful one, one with a lot of interesting moments for sure. Feel free to discuss the game here and let me know what you thought of it. I added a lot of new roles and changed other ones, so I’d like to hear feedback on what I should definitely keep and what I should remove for future games. If there is interest, I hope to host a third game in the summer, probably around early June. This will give me several months to prepare the game, and since it will be summer we most likely won’t run into the horrendous time problems we ran into this time. Anyway, I’d just like to thank you all again for making this game as fun for me as I hope it is for you. Cheers!
 
-Mitch
 

I've added all players to the Graveyard thread as well

Yahhhh we did it! Lol zeldafan u only killed townies!! its all good, i bet that role was awesome to have. It was so hard to watch no one noticing generic's mistake but thank u doner, what a relief. I wasn't expecting the mental toll this game has, ill have to prepare next game and i cant wait. Thanks kokiri! Oh also can we have access to the werewolf thread???

It was tough traveling for work the last two weeks while trying to play the game. The day to day talking was easy, but it was harder going back and analyzing previous days.

Woooooo! Good job townies!
