View Full Version : The "Who's the Werewolf?" game


Kalel21

For this game, 12 of you will be trapped in a snow swept mansion in the Carpathian mountains. One of you is a werewolf!!!!

You must deduce the identity of the werewolf before he kills all of you. This is made even more difficult by the fact that not even the werewolf knows who he is--he (or she) doesn't remember transforming into an animal and doing away with his (or her) friends.

If the werewolf is the only survivor, then he is the winner.

Here's how it works:

12 of you post that you want to play. First come, first serve. You'll be numbered 1 through 12.

I will randomly choose one of you to be the werewolf.

Then Player #1 posts the names of four players--he may include his own name. I will PM him "Yes" if one of those named is the werewolf (but will not specify which one). I'll PM "No" if none of them is the wolf.

It's entirely up to Player #1 whether to share the answer with the other players. He can even lie about it if he wants.

Then Player #1 can accuse one of the other players of being the wolf. If at least half the remaining players agree, the accused player is killed.

If the dead player is the werewolf, everyone else wins.

If the dead player is NOT the wolf, then someone else is randomly killed by the wolf. Then the next player in numerical sequence who still lives gets to submit four names, starting the cycle over again.

This continues until the werewolf is either killed or is the last surviver.

So, if at least 12 of you are interested, please join in.

Will Jack be able to buck the trend and finally NOT get killed in an AR game? Find out, faithful viewers!

You're all trapped in the mansion while a terrible snowstorm rages outside. That night, one of you becomes a werewolf and kills the kindly old caretaker.

Which of you is the werewolf? Not even the werewolf knows for sure!!!!

Splashy66, you may now post four names (including your own, if you wish) and thus accuse them of being the werewolf.

I've PMed Splashy to tell him whether or not one of his suspects is the werewolf. It's up to him whether to share this information (truthfully or otherwise). Splashy, please post whether you want to accuse someone specific when you can.

Sorry about the delay. We've had no internet access at work today until now.

I posted my last post in a hurry because I actually had work to do!!

To make sure I was clear on the next steps:

I have PMed splashy66, telling him whether one of his suspects is the werewolf. He may share this information with the rest of you, lie about it to you, or withhold it completely.

When splashy66 posts here whether he wants to accuse someone specific, we'll move to the next step in the game.

If you haven't seen it yet, the Zeferelli version of Hamlet is quite good, it's the one with mel gibson as hamlet. as always, act 5 is just fantastic.

Actually I really liked that

His interpretation of the line following Polonius' "What are you reading milord" of "words... (flips a few pages)... words... (cheerfully) Words!" makes Hamlet seem more funny in the head and less bored and disaffected like the traditional tired "words, words, words"

To be or not to be... a WOLFMAN!

So far, two of you have voted to spare KitsuShel's life. Remember--if you don't do away with her and she is the werewolf--one of you will be killed by her later on.

If you opt to do away with her, but she's not the werewolf, then one of you will be killed by the real werewolf. In this case, two innocent people go down.

If you spare her life and she's not the werewolf, then the real wolf will still kill one of you later on.

If you do away with her and she is the werewolf, the rest of you win the game and live.

Choose wisely.

JackAssterson
07/26/2007, 11:43
Assuming Splashy is telling the truth, the wisest thing to do would be to eliminate the four possibilities, because one of them IS the werewolf. Since even the werewolf doesn't know who the werewolf is, as per the game instructions, there is no reason I can think of off the bat for Splashy to be leading us down the garden path.

I reluctantly agree on Shel. We have to whittle the stack down. If I survive to do my investigation I'll be able to confirm whether or not we're dealing with a kosher list.

Kalel21
07/26/2007, 11:46
Splashy66 actually does have a motivation to lie. If none of his four suspects is the werewolf, then that means he MIGHT be. So he might want to divert suspicion from himself.

That's not a hint one way or the other--it's just my job as moderator of this game to sow suspicion and paranoia.

Anyways, 1 vote to whack KitsuShel. Two votes to spare her.

JackAssterson
07/26/2007, 11:49
That's true, but at this very early stage of the game I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm an early investigator, so if I survive to do so and actually see that none of the characters he listed are, in fact, the werewolf, we'd KNOW he was up to something.

I am open to listening to arguments from my fellow investigators, here.

Remember, only about 4 more hours (until 3 pm Eastern) to vote. Otherwise KitsuShel lives for sure and someone dies for sure....

What were the rules for surviving a horror movie?

You may not survive the movie if you have sex.
You may not survive the movie if you drink or do drugs.
You may not survive the movie if you say "I'll be right back."
You may not survive the movie if you ask "Who's there?"
You may not survive the movie if you go out to investigate a strange noise.

Did Shel do any of those?

Well, though several of you wanted to do away with KitsuShel, she lives.

That night, though, while the storm still rages outside, one of you again transforms into a werewolf and tracks down a victim.

The randomly chosen victim is:

So now only eleven of you are left alive:

Seeing as we already know that one of the following four:

3) KitsuShel
5) reddyeddy
7) BigSoph
11) Antipathy

is the werewolf (assuming splashy is being truthful, which I will verify after Shel should I survive) it's extremely doubtful that I'm the werewolf.

I vote no, I'm not the darn werewolf.

Manchine
07/27/2007, 13:17

JackAssterson

assuming the truth was told

It's a pretty big leap to assume that Splashy was lying at the beginning of the game, when there's a much better chance of him being normal than a werewolf, even if his result was all negative.

DocDoom187
07/27/2007, 13:32
hmmm, Jack raises a point though. I guess I don't want him dead,

I know Antipathy isnt h were wolf, so he's crossed off the list. Who we have left is Shel, Reddyeddy, and Bigsoph, so the next person has to trty one of those 3 with completely other people, and then the next with a different person, and eventualy we'll get it. So I UN-Nominate Jack to be killed.

Kalel21
07/27/2007, 14:19
Okay, so there's no one nominated to be killed off.

So we move on to the next phase.

The next night, while that darn snow storm still keeps you trapped in the mansion, the werewolf strikes again.


This time, his randomly chosen victim is:

Magnito

So now there's just 10 of you remaining alive:

1) splashy66
2) DocDoom187
3) KitsuShel
4) JackAssterson
5) reddyeddy
6) Magnito
7) BigSoph
9) biz567
11) Antipathy
12) batfink


KitsuShel, you're up as the investigator. Because of the reduced number of suspects, you may only pick THREE names to check for lyncanthropy.

Please post your three choices when you are able.

KitsuShel
07/27/2007, 14:32
I'll say:

KitsuShel
Manchine

JackAssterson
07/27/2007, 14:56
Assuming universal truth (and neither previous party had much reason to lie) we have a suspect list of:

3) KitsuShel
5) reddyeddy
7) BigSoph

Kit's list could clear her if it comes up negative...but it could also incriminate her if it comes up positive, in which case, as the werewolf she would have excellent reason to lie and say it's clear.

KitsuShel
07/27/2007, 15:19
Whoo-hoo! I was starting to doubt myself there.

NONE of the peeps I asked were the werewolf. Which leaves us down to Big Soph and reddyeddy. 50/50 shot.

I'm going with Soph since he knocked me out of the Mafia game. ;)

07/27/2007, 15:26

Kalel21
07/27/2007, 15:43
KitsuShel has nominated BigSoph as the werewolf. You can all have until Noon (Eastern time) tomorrow to vote whether he lives or dies.

The big question is whether she's lying about her list of suspects. As one of you already pointed out, she might have good reason to do so.

batfink
07/27/2007, 15:45
BigSoph should live.

KitsuShel, you're up as the investigator. Because of the reduced number of suspects, you may only pick THREE names to check for lyncanthropy.

Please post your three choices when you are able.

I'm really confused. Someone was nominated, then unnominated. Then I don't even get to have a say if someone is voted off and I am killed. Yet I'm still on the list of survivors. Huh?

My fault. I deleted the wrong person from the list. Manchine still on, but Magnito is killed.

Sorry, Magnito. It's just the luck of a D10 roll.

3) KitsuShel
4) JackAssterson
5) reddyeddy
7) BigSoph
9) biz567
10) Manchine

I just wish I would have had a chance to vote before I got offed.
Then again, since there was an un-nomiation it wouldn't have mattered.

Oh well, my angry spirit is going to continue to haunt the survivors for letting me die.

And if it is Kit, I am quite annoyed as I wanted to off her last round.

I hoping to think of a way to modify the game for future tries so that some players don't just get knocked out early with no chance to really do anything. I haven't come up with anything workable yet.

I'm starting to suspect me so I vote Big Soph lives. I always thought I look pretty suspicious when I look in the mirror.

Kill Him!


Yes Kill Him! :)

Kalel21
07/27/2007, 18:07
4 to kill him.

2 to let him live.

BigSoph
07/28/2007, 01:46
"I say we let 'em live"

"yeah, BigSoph is innocent"

"He deserves a medal or something"

3 votes to let BigSoph live!

Kalel21
07/28/2007, 19:44
4 votes for BigSoph to die.

3 votes to let him live.

I'd forgotten about the weekend when I set today for the deadline to vote. Anyone in the game who has not voted whether to BigSoph should live or die has until Noon Eastern time on Monday to vote.

Sure they all get lots of time, but when it was the one before I got killed, you didn't even give us a day.

DocDoom187, biz567, and Antipathy have until noon to vote. If we get 1 more vote for death (which would make for half the survivors wanting BigSoph dead) then he's a goner.

BigSoph lives by default.

But that night, the werewolf strikes again, taking down the next randomly chosen victim.

The hapless victim this time: DocDoom187. Nine of you are now left alive.

1) splashy66
3) KitsuShel
4) JackAssterson
5) reddyeddy
7) BigSoph
9) biz567
10) Manchine
11) Antipathy

JackAssterson, you're up. Name three people you suspect of being a werewolf.

Thats what you get for not voting. Now if the U.S. electorial college could
adopt the same procedure.

KitsuShel

Alright Jack, we know its either Soph or Eddy. If you leave one of them on your list and it comes up no wolf, then the other is toast.

:devious:

splashy

3) KitsuShel
5) reddyeddy
7) BigSoph
11) Antipathy

Answer: Yes.

DocDoom:

1)splashy66
2)DocDoom187
9) Biz567
11)Antipathy

Answer: No.

Kit:

Kit
JackAssterson
Manchine

Answer: No

The following people are probably NOT the werewolf:

KitsuShel
JackAssterson
Manchine
splashy66
Biz567
Antipathy

One of the following people probably IS the werewolf:

BigSoph
reddyeddy



As such, I will nominate one of the two remaining choices and two people I am sure are not the werewolf. If the result is positive, my choice is the werewolf. If the choice is negative, the remaining candidate is the werewolf. If both turn out to be innocent, it's probably KitsuShel, since Doom verified Antipathy's innocence and had no reason to obfuscate.

I will investigate:

reddyeddy
JackAssterson
Manchine

07/30/2007, 18:34
Okay, I've PM'd Jack with a Yes or No on his suspects. Next, he needs to nominate someone to be a victim of vigilante justice or choose not to. Once he makes the nomination, you can all have until 3 pm Eastern time tomorrow to vote "Thumbs up" or "Thumbs down" on his chosen victim.

JackAssterson
07/30/2007, 18:35
One of the people I named IS the werewolf. Since I named myself as one of them I have no motivation to lie.

reddyeddy is the werewolf.

I accuse reddyeddy of being the werewolf and vote for him.

splashy66
07/30/2007, 18:35
I second that vote

batfink
07/30/2007, 18:39
I also vote for killing reddyeddy.

KitsuShel
07/30/2007, 19:25
Man, I was hoping it was Soph. ;)

Alrighty then, lets string up Eddy!

Kalel21

One more vote to off reddyeddy will do him in.

I think it's him...

JackAssterson
07/31/2007, 00:56

Git 'im!

:angry:

biz567
07/31/2007, 00:59
Yeah!

*Whips out pitchforks and torches*

Jack, do you have a lighter?

Kalel21
07/31/2007, 01:39
Screaming for blood and revenge, you all fall upon reddyeddy and beat him to death with silver candlesticks.

That night, you all sleep peacefully. He was indeed the werewolf.

So you eliminate the werewolf after suffering only three innocent deaths. What's more, you didn't kill anyone innocent before getting the werewolf. Of course, a number of you wanted to kill an innocent suspect, but what the hey.

I pretty much made this game up on the spur of the moment. If anyone has any suggestions for how to improve it for future tries, please post your suggestions here.

I think Two Werewolf's could be very interesting.

07/31/2007, 06:06
I should come back as a vengeful ghost to haunt everyone who killed me. If Quentin Collins got to be a werewolf then became a ghost, it ought to work for me.
I mean you all could have rigged up a silver cage to throw me in on nights of the full moon. Sheesh, you all took the easy way out. Where's the tolerance? Where's the progressiveness? If alcoholism is a disease, lycanthropy ought to be you know. I mean in both cases you're possessed by demons. You all should have tried to help me work it through. Now I have to figure out how to tap into the powers of the Spectre so I can have Vengeance.

I wonder if it would be possible to do a "Thing from Another World" game, where one player is the shape-changing alien. Rather than killing the other aliens, he instead "absorbs" them and turns them into aliens as well.

That way, no one is eliminated. But the problem would be to give the players a fair system for figuring out who the aliens are before it's too late.

What if the alien only stands a 50% chance of absorbing a victim every turn? Each player could have a turn performing a blood test on another player to confirm whether he's human or alien. If he's alien--he's killed.

So Player #1 picks another player and performs the blood test. If he's lucky and hits the alien first time, then the alien is killed and the game is over.

If his test subject is human, then the alien has a 50% chance of turning someone else into an alien.

Then the process starts over--Player #2 picks someone to test. And so on.

Does that sound workable?

I might try something like this and make it like John Carpenter's The Thing

Remember the scene where they test the creature's blood?

To start you allocate turns, where for each slot of time you decide whether you eat, sleep, hunt or research/look for stuff

I would track values... go too long without food and sleep and you get weaker.

As the game speeds up, turns would get shorter (value, not real time)

I was thinking of that movie when I came up with the game. (I disliked the over-reliance on gore in that film, but enjoyed the premise--based on the old John Campbell story "Who Goes There"--a lot.)
