Turf War - GAME ENDED

[Haruki-kun]

Red's Journal

This is our Street. There are a lot of things we are not sure of, how long we will be able to hold it, who our enemies are, and where they came from. But one thing we know. This is our Street. Our Turf.

They call me Lil' Red. I haven't been in this town for as long as some of the others, but no one denies that this is where I truly belong. I may not be the smartest, or the strongest, or the fastest, but this is where I belong. And if someone tries to take our turf? Well, me and my .38 Special will have something to say about it.

And so will my friends.

Good old Double B. He won't let them in. I'd trust him with my life and know it would be in good hands. In the middle of any street fight he would be the last thing his enemies ever saw... their dead bodies covered in yellow feathers.

Da C? Nothing will get past him. None of those bastards will lay a hand on us as long as he keeps a lookout for us. And with Double B by his side no one will put one finger on his blue fur.

And there's Amphibian. Why he's the meanest of them all. It's said his skin is actually green, but I wouldn't know. I've never seen him not covered in red.

We don't know exactly what they are or where they came from. Those hideous creatures.... the Tubbers, they call them. With their antennae sticking out of their horrible heads and those disgusting things on their stomachs that they communicated with. A strange race with stranger customs still. Rumors say that every day they would gather around a plastic wheel that spun with the wind and worship it like some pagan god. Others say they were led by a Deity coming from the sun. And yet others say they owned some kind of beast in their lair... that would devour anything in sight. A beast they couldn't control.

The thought sickens me. And as I sit here with my hand trembling, my other hand holding on to my loaded weapon... I wonder who of us will come back. But it doesn't matter. Because in the end we'll prevail.

This is our Street.

RULES:

Wolf roles:

Show

The Wink (Alpha Wolf): The mysterious Wink leads the team of Tubbers to take over the enemy turf. His equipment, carried with him at all times, makes him able to pass for a regular streetman. Scries as a villager.

The Sun (Devil): This enigmatic entity has been an object of fascination for the tubbers for ages. From his position above the Earth he can see the roles of anyone. The Sun can scry one person per night.

The Green Hatter (Beast): This gentleman Tubber is always well-dressed. His hat won’t budge no matter what, and he’s so fond of it, he’s been known to write songs about it. When the Hatter gets killed, he will designate one person to go down with him.

Tubbers (Wolves): Strange creatures from another planet, the Tubbers have a strange way of communicating with each other through transmissions through their antennae. Standard wolf role.

Villager roles:

Show

Da C, Mon (Seer): It’s said he can C everything. This well-known and respected member of the gang can instantly recognize anyone as friend or foe. Da C can scry one person per night.

Double B (Baner): This massive yellow-feathered man is known for being loyal and protective to all those he holds close. Using his great size he can protect any one person from being killed per night.

Lil' Red (Fool): He’s young and happy, but he’s naïve. He can scry one person at night, but will get a random result instead of an accurate scry. Lil’ Red will be told he’s the Da C by the narrator.

Amphibian (Invincible Llama): It’s not easy being mean. Having led a hard life avoiding his enemies, he has come to know how to escape to save himself. Amphibian will survive the first kill attempt made at him (not counting lynching).

The Accountant (Emperor): The Accountant knows how to make his opinions count. His vote counts as two.

The Extraterrestrials (Masons): Strange creatures of blue and pink who moved to the neighborhood and became an accepted part of it. They may not know who is or isn’t to be trusted, but at least they know each other to be trustworthy. The Extraterrestrials start the game knowing each other.

B&E (Lovers): Breaking and Entering. It is not known exactly what kind of relationship these two have, but what everyone knows is that you can’t have one without the other. If either one of these two players is killed or lynched, the other one will die as well.

Streetmen: This is our street, and we will defend it no matter what. Standard villager role.

Neutral:

Show

Groucho: A grumpy old man with no allegiances to either side. He would rather sit this one out, as long as no one drags him into it. Groucho will join the team of whichever scrier scries him first, even if it’s the fool. Groucho will be informed when this happens by the narrator. The second person to scry Groucho will be given a Wolf/Villager scry depending on who the first person was. The fool will get a random scry result if he is not the first person to scry Groucho. If Groucho isn’t scried, his goal remains as “survival”.
If Groucho is recruited by either team, he gets a one-time free scry.

RULES:

Show

Helgraf’s scry interference rule will be in effect. This means that if two or more scriers scry the same player on the same night, the scry will fail. The scriers will be given no information other than “scry failed” (They will not be informed whether the other scrier was the Da C, Lil' Red, Groucho, the Sun, or a combination of them.)

Da C will see only the allegiance of the person scried (Team Street/Team Tubber), not the precise role. The Sun will see the exact role.

A person who does not vote for three consecutive game days will be auto-lynched.

All role PMs will look exactly like this: “You are a(n) [ROLE].”

NARRATORS: Haruki-Kun and Wolfbane

New to Werewolf games? Read this!

Werewolf Games, commonly abbreviated as WW, are strategy games, where the players have to lie, trick, deceive and backstab as much as they possibly can.

The game works like this: Werewolf players are given a role via Private Message. This role is secret and is only known to the player and the narrators. The premise is to keep that role secret from the rest of the players.

There are two basic teams: The Wolves and the Villagers. The Villagers have as their winning condition to find out who among them are Wolves. Since everyone's role is a secret, it takes a while of guesswork and strategy to manage this. The Wolves, on the other hand, have as their goal to hide among the Villagers and make the villagers suspect each other while surviving until they eliminate enough villagers so that the villager number equals their own. (e.g. four Villagers left with four Wolves left in the game means the Wolves won)

The game is divided in two Phases: The Day Phase and the Night Phase. During the Day Phase, everyone, Wolves and Villagers alike, point at someone to vote on who is going to be lynched that day. As a general rule, this is done by writing the person's name in red text. The player with the most votes will be lynched, that is to say eliminated from the game. Day Phases generally last 48 real-time hours.

The Night Phase is for stuff that happens under the table. Some people have roles other than simple "Villager" and "Wolf". I'll get to specifics in a moment. People with these special roles usually have "night actions" that require targeting a certain player. This is done by PM'ing the narrator with the action. During the Night Phase, the Wolves send in an action to kill one player of their choice. The player's death is announced at the end of a Night Phase, and then the next Day Phase starts. Night Phases generally last 24 hours.

To sum that up: During the Day Phase ALL players discuss and vote on what player to eliminate from the game (lynch), Wolves theoretically try to steer the voting towards other Villagers and/or try to look as innocent as possible.

On Power Roles: As mentioned before there are several Roles. "Wolf" and "Villager" are the most basic of roles, but games usually include more. The basic power roles are:
A Seer, who sends in an action every night to the narrator to "scry" another player, one per night. The narrator will tell the Seer what role that player has.
A Baner, who protects one person from being killed each night.
A Fool, who is told he is the Seer, but actually gets results for scries at random.
A Devil, who is basically the Seer for the Wolf team.
The Masons who are a group of Villagers who start off knowing each other's roles. (They're all working together.)

Those are the rules of the Classic Werewolf game. Usually, however, games have several variations and other roles. The special roles and variations for this game are defined in the roles for each game section.

On another note: Players must vote, they cannot abstain. If a player fails to vote for a certain number of game days in a row, he or she will be automatically disqualified, known as an Auto-lynch. Typically, auto-lynches happen after two days of not voting, but this particular game is a little more lenient and auto-lynches after three days of not voting.

When a player is lynched, killed, or auto'd, his death is announced, he is removed from the game, and his role is made public. While players are allowed (and encouraged) to communicate with each other outside the main thread by PM or IM, dead players cannot be contacted and cannot attempt to influence the game in any way. Attempting to influence the game after you die, or attempting to get information from a dead player is cheating.

That explains the basics of Werewolf Games. I hope you enjoy this game!

[banjo1985]

Sesame Street WW? Colour me in!

[Lord Herman]

Been a while since I've played any structured games. Sign me up!

[Skippy]

This looks like fun. Every game narrated by Haruki is an instant winner.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'd like to be in.

[ThePhantom]

No Super Blue? Oh well. I'm in.

[BasketOfPuppies]

I'm in, seeing as how I was killed in Fears.

[Haruki-kun]

No Super Blue? Oh well. I'm in.

We couldn't figure out where to put him, and we REALLY wanted the current ones in. <.<

[Lady Serpentine]

He'd probably have fit as a neutral beast, or maybe a neutral voider? Did have something of a penchant for destruction/disruption...

[Jacklu]

I'm in on this one. Looks too good to pass up.

[Lex-Kat]

You too, Jacklu? I'm in.

[Haruki-kun]

He'd probably have fit as a neutral beast, or maybe a neutral voider? Did have something of a penchant for destruction/disruption...

Got so many roles already, though... =/

BTW, does your post mean you're in?

[Lady Serpentine]

Got so many roles already, though... =/

BTW, does your post mean you're in?

Heh, not as many as some games, but fair enough... And yeah, I'm in.

[UncleWolf]

Ruki and I already discussed the possibility of other roles. For now we're fine with what we have.

It's also great to see so many faces I used to play with.

[Count Dingdong]

Ah ah ah! One, two, two letters in "in"! Ah ah ah! Z Count is in!

This looks awesome!

[Ramsus]

Suppose I'll sign up.

[Cuthalion]

I am een.

[LoP]

In!

1 Question: if the baner successfully protects someone, will it be announced that the person was baned or that no one died?

2 Questions: Relate to the above: if Kermit I mean the Amphibian is selected for NK and survives because of his one-use ability, is anything announced?

3 Questions, ah ah ah!: Is the Accountant like the Mayor, in that he's elected publically? Or does he just secretly have two votes? a vote that counts as 2?

[Dallas-Dakota]

Well considering it's my street....

Gonna see how long I live in Fears 4 though, don't have the time to be in two games at once.

[Nonayer]

I'd like to be in as well.

[Reinholdt]

I'll be in.

[Haruki-kun]

In!

1) This is subject to change as Wolfy and I discuss it, but it will probably be "No one died tonight," so it may be because the wolves attacked amphibian, because the person who was attacked was baned, or maybe because the wolves all forgot to send in a kill.

2) Same answer as above.

3) No, the Accountant is a power role. He's just a person whose vote is multiplied by two. (He can't vote for two separate people.)

Well considering it's my street....

Gonna see how long I live in Fears 4 though, don't have the time to be in two games at once.

Do you want me to write you into the list, then, or do you want to hold on?

[Murska]

I'll join.

[Zjoot]

In of course.

[Recaiden]

Looks excellently straightforward.

[Penguinator]

This is too hilarious not to join.

[Yumori Zatsuken]

In. (randomthingsduetowordlimit)

[TFT]

I'm definitely in for this one.

[Gnrlshrimp]

Sounds fun. Count me in.

[EmeraldRose]

Ok...apparently I'm supposed to sign up for this thing.

[Meta]

I'm in!

Only my second game, be gentle
