Your visions tell you he's bad.

I'm confused now.

Look at the pms Iposted, wasgood was insane, got reversed roles. I think i messed up the setup, but I'll talk in detail about that tonight, or tomorrow.

[Dirty Harry Potter]

After night 1 PM from phelanpt, I thought I was a traitor role, ie. Human but wins with the werewolves. Later I thought the same as bert that we had all been given the werewolf role, and nightly killings was random or based on votes like daytime lynchings.

Random tidbit: Throughout the game I managed to only vote for wolves during nighttime. Clearly, I'm no good at this game. (Though, the first many nights was due to me thinking I got a traitor role, and that I had no influence on it anyway).
... On a related note, what happened Night 5? Did all the wolves decide not to vote? Perhaps due to a bert pl*n?

I voted for you and was attacked midway to your room. My theory is that the wolves all voted for other wolves

[bert_the_turtle]

And I tried to kill Xocrates. There must have been something in place preventing wolf/wolf kills. We could have used that to identify each other.

[Phelanpt]

Back home, finally.

Ok, to explain how the wolf votes worked:
If someone voted for a human, a human would be killed, depending on the majority of the wolves' votes(first one to vote got the kill, others heard a scream and went back to their rooms).
If you all voted for each other, the first to vote would attack his target on the way, instead of the cell, and there would be a werewolf fight, which would end with both going back to the cells. This was indeed to get you to know each other, one got to know that there were other werewolves, the other also got to know that his target was a werewolf.
That's what happened the only night no one died, and the night that Feud used the syringe*.

The idea of this was to get werewolves to have a chance to get together, but not too fast, and to avoid werewolves killing each other off too fast.
It might have worked with less wolves, but I think 5 was definitely too much.

I'll post the night choices and pms the wolves got after dinner.

*About the syringe: he had to pick his target before the end of the day, and excuse himself to go plant it. That's why he posted the "be right back"s.
It took effect as the target lay down on his cell bed, before they attacked, as Xocrates can attest.

Night choices

Night 1:
RabidZombie:Dirty Harry Potter
jelco: bert_the_turtle
bert_the_turtle:RabidZombie
Dirty Harry Potter: RabidZombie
Xocrates:GreenRock
Greenrock dies.
Xocrates gets this message:

You change and stalk towards X's cell, and manage to find him
asleep. Filled with hunger, you jump upon him! He wakes and screams,
terrified, as you slash and bite until he is dead. After taking your
fill, you drag him outside his cell, and run back to yours.

Other wolves get this one:

As you change and stalk towards Y, you hear a terrified scream
echo through the halls! Afraid someone will find you and suspect you,
you change back and run to your cell.

Wasgood checks bert_the_turtle, gets "good" result.

Random.org picked GreenRock for elexis.

Night 2:
RabidZombie: doesn't vote
jelco: bert_the_turtle
bert_the_turtle: ynbniar
Dirty Harry Potter: RabidZombie
Xocrates: elexis
elexis dies because Xocrates votes first.
Xocrates gets the same message.
Other wolves also, except for RabidZombie, that gets:

Since you didn't send anything...
You decide not to try and kill anyone tonight. You hear terrified
screams, and choose to stay in your cell to avoid calling
attention.

Wasgood checks RabidZombie, gets "good" result.

Night 3:
RabidZombie: doesn't vote
jelco: bert_the_turtle
bert_the_turtle: MrBunsy
Dirty Harry Potter: bert_the_turtle
Xocrates: Dirty Harry Potter
MrBunsy dies.
bert gets the kill message.
Other wolves get the scream message, except for RabidZombie, that gets
the stay in cell message.

Wasgood checks Feud, gets "bad" result.

Night 4:
RabidZombie: doesn't vote
jelco: RabidZombie
bert_the_turtle: Dirty Harry Potter
Dirty Harry Potter: bert_the_turtle
Xocrates: ynbniar
ynbniar dies.

Xocrates: Dirty Harry Potter
No one dies.
Xocrates gets this message:

You stalk towards Dirty Harry
Potter's cell, but while on the way you're attacked by a werewolf! You
sprout fur and fang and claw and fight him back for a while, until
there's a lull in the fight. You two start to back off, until you hear
a scream, and you both run in opposite directions. You go back to your
cell, still a bit hurt by the fight.

Dirty Harry Potter gets this message:

You change and stalk towards Xocrates' cell, but find him out
and about. You sprout fur and fang and claw and attack him, but are
surprised when he changes too! You two fight for a while, until
there's a lull in the fight. You both start to back off, until you
hear a scream, and you both run in opposite directions. You go back to
your cell, still a bit hurt by the fight.

This day, I gave Feud the Syringe:

You've just found a bottle half-full of Silver Chromate. Though you don't know what it was doing in the Asylum, you know what it might do for you: help kill werewolves!

Each Day, you can pick someone to plant a poisoned needle in someone's bed. Anyone whose bed you do this to will die, whether it's a werewolf or a human.
You should have enough for 2 doses.

To do this, you have to send me a pm with the name of the person, and post in the thread something to the effect of "I'll be right back".

He poisoned Xocrates.

Night 6:
RabidZombie: doesn't vote, gets attacked by unknown werewolf in his cell
Dirty Harry Potter: RabidZombie, meets him and fights in his cell.
Xocrates: Feud
Xocrates dies from silver poisoning


Like I've said before, I think I put in too many wolves, did not give enough protection to the human specials, and gave no hint at all to the nature of each of the roles. I wanted to write a small flavor text for each role that hinted at what was happening: for the seer like roles, a hint at their sanity, and for the werewolves, a hint that they were not alone, and probably working together(meds affecting your werewolf senses, not remembering who turned you).
I even thought about giving each of you an insane identity.

But then I got writer's block, among other things, and never managed to make it the game I wanted.
I want to congratulate your roleplaying, though, it was awesome.

Hope you enjoyed the game. I'll probably post a normal one next time.
