2025 Election Werewolf
NB - Democracy sausage not included.
The country is in crisis. Again. Or still. Frankly, it's hard to tell. As May 3rd comes ever closer, the polls are tighter than a marching drum (like the ones they play in Communist China, maybe?) and the only thing more cooked than the preference deals is your uncle's Facebook feed.
Behind the scenes, the usual suspects are at it again. The Liberals are too busy fighting each other to fight the migrant crime they dogwhistle seemingly every election. The ALP is promising everything to everyone and praying no one reads the budget. The Greens are threatening to chain themselves to Parliament House until they get a vegan sausage option. And Pauline Hanson, Clive Palmer and Bob Katter are trying to say something more outrageous than each other every day of the campaign.
Any excuse to post this video haha.
But beneath the surface of smiley sausage sizzles, baby-kissing and marginal seat cash splashes, a far more sinister campaign is underway. Shadowy operatives are infiltrating the party rooms. Whispered deals are being made behind closed doors (and in dimly lit pokie rooms). Someone’s buying votes, someone’s burning ballot papers, and someone’s definitely not declaring all their donors. But they don’t care about safe seats or bloody Eden-Monarto - they just want chaos, control, and maybe a cushy spot on the ABC panel show circuit.
Do you have what it takes to survive the smear campaigns, survive Question Time, and resist the temptation of free wine at the Canberra Press Club? Or will you sell out faster than an Independent on Sky News?
It's time to join a party, make some promises you’ll never keep and vote below the line, because in this campaign, you can't trust anyone.
Roles will be randomly assigned to all players and will be communicated before the start of Night 1 via PM (Private Message), except for Villagers. The Village must identify and kill all of the Werewolves, Mafia and Neutral roles before these players can kill enough players to satisfy their own win condition.
Each day will consist of two phases, starting with Night 1 on Monday 30th April:
Night phase (9pm – 8am AEST)
Players with night actions will nominate the targets of these actions via PM during this phase. These actions must be bolded and clearly stated to be valid. Actions will not be accepted after 7:59am, whether or not deadline has been announced in the game thread.
Day phase (8am – 9pm AEST)
After the results of night actions have been announced, all players will publicly vote to lynch one player during this phase. Votes will not be accepted after 8:59pm, whether or not deadline has been announced in the game thread. The player with the most votes by the time of the deadline will be lynched and their role revealed in the game thread. In the event of a tied lynch, there will be a multi-lynch i.e. all the leading vote-getters will be lynched.
VOTING
Votes must be in the game thread and must bold the player being voted. Tagging the moderators is not required. You do not have to provide a reason for your vote for it to be valid.
FAILURE TO VOTE IN ANY DAY PHASE WILL RESULT IN A MODKILL

OTHER REASONS FOR MODKILLS
- Failing to nominate a night action on TWO separate Night phases (explicitly choosing to not use an action is fine)
- Any communication about this particular game of Werewolf outside of the game thread, except for those that have an allocated PM group
- Any deleting or editing posts from the game thread
- Posting screenshots of BigFooty of any kind in the game thread
- Directly quoting any PMs from me as moderator in the game thread
And once again outside of spoiler tags:
