I used it on MasterBigCat on night 4.

For everyone else's information, the item was a one time use roleblock.

Alright, this was the final vote when Al almost bit the dust on day one due to Brock's random pick.  No wolves voted for him.  He and Alekx voted for NED....there has to be another wolf in there because they were nervous...that means NESking or Fluffy.
 

MasterBigCat almost always laid low and voted for no one in particular though....the only time he would jump in was when he was singled out or targeted....which is exactly what he did when he was a wolf in the Final Fantasy werewolf game. Hmmm....

Do we still have a shot to win?

We got an Indy last night.

Vote looks inevitable.
VOTE: alakhira



 

We still have a shot to win but its definitely down to the wire, hopefully we will get some more info to go on into the next day.

Well, at least one of those 3 has to be a wolf in my thoughts...maybe more than just one. You have good instincts GG...you can do it!

I have a D&D session tonight, so I won't be on for the rest of daytime.
**vote: Alakhira

Lucky I wanna play some DnD, my group hasnt played in a few months.  They got started on a World of Darkness campign while I have been working extra hours at work.  Thanks for the compliment, I will do my best to smoke out the other wolves.
 

When I die it should be evident that gadon is lying or his item was bunk. Just a word of advice to the town if it manages to survive.

Speaking of DnD is there anyway to play sessions online? I'd love to be able to play again. It's been an incredibly long time... Two decades I think?

I know for the longest time that there used to be games you could play through an online forum for the DnD magazine.  If not there I would try Wizards of the coast or searching for a forum for DnD fans.  I know I played a game online many years ago and it was alot of fun.
 

If someone wants to start a NA DnD group, I'm down to play. No more posting update coming soon.

Final Votecount Day 7
alakhira (7): GreatGadon, Generic, MasterBigCat, NESking80, Fluffy, Commander Santa, Limbofunk
Generic (1): alakhira
Not Voting: Red

Ch. 14




 
The crew surrounds alakhira and stab a wooded stake into his heart.  Alakhira clutches his chest as he falls over in agony.

Generic:  We did it.  Did we win?
Fluffy: I would be shocked if you did.

Fluffy places his hands on Generic’s shoulders sending 1000 volts into Generic’s corpse.  Commander Santa picks up a giant scythe from the set and chucks it at the rest of the crew.

Commander Santa: Think fast!

The giant scythe travels slowly and the crew splits up and runs in different directions.  Except for MasterBigCat who is cut clean in half by the deadly bladed weapon.

Limbofunk and GreatGadon manage to get away and barricade themselves inside the storage room.

Limbofunk:  Glad I am in here with you, you are the one I trust most.
GreatGadon:  Thank you for all the wonderful gifts!

GreatGadon picks up a hammer knocks Limbofunk upside the head.  Limbofunk falls onto the ground and GreatGadon bashes his skull in.

NesKing80 hears the screams of his co-workers and the manic laughing of the creatures.  His heart races as he takes the ivory box below the set, into the dark under-cellar.  He is surrounded by fog as he makes his way to the dark altar.  He looks out and see the blood red moon as he feels the bite of fangs on his neck.   Red opens the box and places the heart into his own chest.

Red:  Happy endings are so cliché’.

Dracula lives!  Wolves win.  Game Over.

Castlevania: The Movie recap

Background:
Halloween is my fav holiday, so I really wanted to do a spooky themed Werewolf round.  Considering Castlevania is so rooted in gothic horror, I wanted to try to bring that forward into present day.  I realize that has been done quite a bit too, but it is always like vampires take over New York.  Why not switch it up to the West coast.  Then I started thinking Hollywood since that has ties into vampire cinema and horror movies.

Originally I wanted to use a bunch of characters from Castlevania lore, but they didn’t really fit the roles I had in mind.  Instead I made everyone a crewmember of film crew which makes things a bit more ambiguous, since any number of staff could be on set.
A huge stumbling block has been getting majority votes in such big games.  So I tried a plurality voting system (person with the most votes is lynched.)  Simple to understand and kept the game moving.

Set-up
20 player game
4 wolves (creatures)
15 town (film crew) - 6 Power Roles, 9 Vanilla
1 third party (film critic)

Wolf/Creature  - Each night select one member of to perform the whack.  You may communicate with your fellow wolves in the thread provided.  You win when all threats to the wolves are eliminated or when no actions can be made to prevent this from happening.
Each wolf had an ability and it was up to the wolves who to send on the whack

Director - Recruiter.  Instead of the whacking a player you can turn them into a loyal creature.  You must be player performing the whack that night.  Can only be used once per game.  Recruited player loses all former powers and becomes a wolf goon.  A certain sub-set of roles may not be recruited. (wolves only started with 4, so they got to pick their 5^th wolf.)

Driver - Driver.  You submit the names of two players.  Their places are switched for that night, actions that affect player A will instead affect player B and vice versa.  (this role was a little too powerful)

Character Actor - Actor.  You select one player to visit during the night.  For the rest of the game you will appear as their character/role.  Can only be used once. (pretty much the alpha but they have to work for it a bit)

Stunt Guy - Strongman.   The kill cannot be stopped.  You must be the one performing the whack.  Can only be used once.

Town/Crew
Camera  - Cop. Each night you may select a player to follow find out their identity.

Star - Doctor. Each night you may select a player to protect from being killed.  You cannot protect the same person twice in a row.  You may only protect yourself once during the game.

Agent - Neighborizer.  During the night you may invite one player to the private chat thread I will provide.  DO NOT pm them!  Please pm me.  You can only use this power once during the game. (So sad this didn’t happen)

 Producer – Mayor.  In the case of a no lynch, the player the Mayor voted for will be lynched instead.  You must vote for someone every day.  Failure to vote will result in your death. (well I already changed the voting, but if for some reason a no lynch did still happen this was the backup plan.  This actually created a rather potent town role.)

Prop Master – Inventor.  Gets a new one shot item each night to give to another player. (this one got a bit weird)

Understudy – Universal Backup.  You may select a town power role from the graveyard to become your new role.  This can only be used once during the game.   You cannot select a new role and used its power in the same night

Crewmember – Vanilla Town.  You are a loyal member of the Film Crew.  You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.  (I revealed this in the first post of the game)

Third Party
Film Critic - Lyncher.  You hate the following players!  They all must die by lynch, whack, or other means before you, if this occurs you win and leave the game.  You can win along either side.  You lose if you die before they are all dead.

Hit List
- doner
- Fluffy
- wasg13
- dra600n
- write in (NES was selected)

Recap:
Day 1
NES has been getting some x-pac style heat lately and was lynched

Night 1
Brock was whacked by the wolves.  Phynn investigated Gadon

Day 2
Doner was lynched.

Night 2
Phynn had let slip he was the cop, so wolves whacked him

Day 3
Due to a tie vote, MasterBigCat’s power kicked and he voted wasg13 for the lynch.

Night 3
Gadon was recruited by the wolves.  Alekx lied about using the item from Limbo.  Dra600n took Phynn’s power becoming the new cop.

Day 4
Even though ne$ pimp claimed his role, there was a bit of confusion and town lynched their own doctor.  To be fair, much of this was the wolves pushing the vote, but town did little to stop it.

Night 4
Stryphos was whacked

Day 5
Limbo called alekx on his lie and town finally nailed a wolf.

Night 5
Dra600n too made his role clear so wolves had to deal with him

Day 6
GoldeneyeGamer lied about his role and the town felt they couldn’t trust a third party.

Night 6
You talk too much.  Brock was leading much of the conversation.  Wolves put an end to that.

Day 7
Gadon was pretty much clear so he lied and said he used the tracker item and framed alakhira.  Leading to another mislynch and wolf victory.  4 wolves vs 4 town means wolves control the voting block.

Team Reviews:
Third Party – Third party roles are often a real challenge to play.  Goldeneye did a good job and managed to knock out 4/5 of his list.  He lied in his reveal which caused town to distrust and ultimately lynch him.  So close.

Town – Clashing egos and poor communication were your downfall.  Very often town seemed content to just fight themselves, with little pressure being put on the wolves.  Town had a lot of power roles but many claimed way too soon.  You have to be a bit of a poker player if you have a strong hand or role in this case, and not let the wolves know so easily.  You guys lynched townie after townie and your power roles didn’t offer much help.

Wolves – D@mn near perfect con game.  You avoided being lynched during the day and made great use of your powers at night.  A sight to behold.  Congrats, you guys deserve the win.

Overall I think this was a pretty good round.  It was fun to host and watch.  Hope you all enjoyed it.  Let me know how I did.  Thanks for playing!

shit, i knew we should have gone for Santa first

GG! Great first game to play in!

gg guys this was alot of fun, defintely playing next year

Good game! Congrats to the wolves! I felt so helpless this game. I was as vanilla as a townie cluld get. No special abilities  

Thanks to Fox for putting this game together! I'm sure it's a lot of work. And thanks for being prompt in giving us updates.

Welcome.  There was a lot of thought and energy put into things.

You have your brain, your voice, and your vote.  Potent tools in the wolf hunt.

Also I invited everyone to the afterlife thread if you want to see what the dead said
