Most houses in the village have been abandoned for years, but just recently the largest house in the village, a stony, brooding castle, has shown signs of life. The locals are too frightened to enter and see for themselves, but late at night they can sometimes hear cackling laughter, and see lights flickering from the windows of the highest tower. Ever since the castle was occupied again, the village has changed. Reports of howling wolves in the woods surrounding the town have increased, and the town supply of garlic has mysteriously disappeared. Known Town Roles: Plain Townie - If bit by vampire/werewolf turns into vampire/werewolf Cop - Can investigate one person per night, dies if bit Doctor - Can protect one person per night, dies if bit Vigilante - Can kill one person per night, dies if bit Mayor - Has one-time ability to instantly force a lynch of his/her choice, dies if bit Results The Town Won.

I'd rather not, to keep a certain degree of secrecy in play. Suffice it to say, information will be given to those who need it.

Everyone gets to vote during the day, some people get to do different things during the night. The town is one team. The vampires are one team. The werewolves are another. EDIT: Individual roles will be explained on a need-to-know basis. In other words, your role will be explained when you get it. Edited by East Anarx, Jan 26 2009, 07:11 PM.

Instead of having a standard two-dimensional game theory, we will have a tree-dimensional game theory. Basically, it will triple the uncertainty...

Resident bureaucrat Posts: 2,268 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: December 23, 2003	You should reveal all the roles at least. I was looking the werewolves games on the ParadoxPlaza forum, and in each of them ALL the "possible" roles are revealed (I didn't check if all of them were really used). This is only to know what we should expect.

This is only to know what we should expect. I'd really much rather keep everything a secret. Just for the game that I happen to be GMing. What other GMs do I could care less. But I want to try this. That said, I added a poll. If a majority votes for me to reveal, then I will.

Pyrenees Republic Posts: 3,219 Group: Forum Mods Member #307 Joined: December 27, 2006	But then we don't know what can be done, if there is a doctor, if there isn't, etc. It severely screws with the ability of the townies to fight, especially if werewolves and vampires can PM each other their roles during the night. Townies at least should know their roles, if for nothing more than balance issues.

Legitimist Posts: 12,945 Group: Admin Member #19 Joined: January 13, 2004	I vote no to telling us everything, but I basically think it should be like Raf's games: we should know the basic roles that will be there (cop, doctor, mafiates, don,...) but still leave other things as surprises (like the serial killer in the first game).
