Basic* WW Part V
*With a twist.
Basic rules:
Roles will be randomly assigned and communicated via PM (except Drifting Souls). The village must identify and kill all players not aligned with the village before non-village players can satisfy their win condition(s).
Each day will consist of two phases:
Night phase (9:00pm – 9:00am Vic Bias time)
Players with night actions will nominate targets via PM during this phase. Actions can be placed in advance of the night phase. Nominations will not be accepted after deadline whether or not it has been announced in the thread. Each individual player has final say of their own action, but when in a faction does not have to specifically confirm the action. Providing no comment regarding a player's own action will be taken as agreement with actions already posted by other faction members.
Day phase (9:00am – 9:00pm Vic Bias time)
After the results of night actions have been announced all players will publicly vote to lynch a player during this phase. Votes will not be accepted after deadline whether or not it has been announced in the thread.
Voting:
All votes and change of votes must be bolded and have myself tagged. If your vote is not bolded/tagged it will not be counted. You do not have to provide a reason for your vote for it to be valid. I will react with the LOVE reaction on posts with valid votes.
Multi lynch is allowed. There will always be a lynch in each day phase.
Werewolf etiquette:
DISCUSSING THE GAME
While the game is running players are not permitted to discuss the game anywhere but in this thread, the Dead PM or PMs related to this game, if you have one. Posting any screenshots and direct quotes from PMs are prohibited. Players caught breaching these rules will be modkilled without warning and denied entry to the Dead PM.
Deleting or editing your posts in the game at any time will result in a modkill
OTHER MOD-KILLABLE OFFENCES
Failing to vote in any Day phase
DEAD PLAYERS
Players who are killed are permitted to post a farewell post provided that it does not impact the game (eg. “thanks for the game” or “good luck”). Dead players must leave the game immediately and are not permitted to post or like posts in the game thread or any PM they are a part of (except the Dead PM) until the end of the game.
