WEREWOLF
Welcome to the Wasteland. The year is 2287. What's left of Boston, and the broader Massachusetts area has become a fierce battlefield for whoever, or whatever, is left standing all these years after the bombs that ended the world first fell.
Deep in the heart of Boston, ruours of a mysterious secret weapon that could turn the tide of war in the part of the world now known as the Commonwealth have surfaced from a myriad of sources with their ears to the Wasteland. Anyone and everyone with a vested interest in the future of new civilisation have been gathering their strength in the City, trying to fight their way to supremacy, in wake of these powerful factions and figures, the rest of the Commonwealth has been swept along in the madness. Bring your most trustworthy Pipe pistol, a hefty supply of Nuka Cola and maybe even some Deathclaw Steak.
Boston after dark is a scary place.
Basic Rules:
At the beginning of the game each player is given a 'role' at random and in secret (via PM) by the moderator.
The aim of the Villagers is to identify and kill all of the Mafia and the Wereboncers before the evil factions can kill enough villagers so that (# of e.g. Werewolves = # of Villagers). Only one faction can win.
How are players killed?
Each 'turn' of the game will last approximately 24 hours and also represents one 'day' of game time, thus a game will go on for several days before it is concluded. There are two 'phases' to every turn of the game;
Night Phase (7:00pm – 10:00am):When evil factions secretly decide among themselves, via PM communication, which Villager (one per night) that they shall kill and then inform the moderator via PM. Others with a Night action also enter their actions now via PM to the Mods. Decisions for the night phase are to be in no later than 10am.
Day Phase (10:00am – 7:00pm):After the results of Night actions have been announced, everybody, Villagers, Mafia, and Wereboncers discusses and ultimately votes publicly in the game-thread upon which player (one per day) that they shall lynch and kill. Votes for the day phase are to be in no later than 7pm.
Obviously during the day the Villagers will want the group to vote for and lynch an evil player, whilst the evil players themselves will want not to be lynched; herein lies the fundamental strategy of the game:
Can the villagers identify the evildoers whilst at the same time convincing the rest of the group that they're not evil? And can the evildoers convince the group that they're not evil at all and thus avoid being lynched?
Werewolf Etiquette:
There are two main rules which everyone must follow in order for the game to run successfully;
DEAD PLAYERS MUST LEAVE THE GAME
If you are killed at any point during the game then you are no longer allowed to participate although I will allow a farewell post, but that post cannot impact the remainder of the game.
THERE MUST BE NO PRIVATE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PLAYERS EXCEPT WITHIN THE GROUPS LISTED BELOW
Except for the below-mentioned groups sending PMs between themselves, other forms of private communication concerning the game are not allowed.
Anyone caught sending screen captures of BigFooty of any kind in this thread will be mod-killed instantly with no warning.
Anyone caught quoting PMs from the mods will be mod-killed without warning.
For this game we will not be using the Reason for Lynching rule.
Voting:
During the Day Phase players must vote for whom to lynch, your vote must be formatted in bold like this: Player Name.
Upon the voting deadline (end of day-phase) the votes will be tallied by the moderator and whoever has received the most will be lynched and be out of the game: remember, once killed you cannot take further part; do not reveal your roles to anyone until the game has been concluded.
Any ties in voting will result in both players being lynched.

Dr. Madison Li, Head of Advanced Systems
Dr. Madison Li has seen some serious stuff go down in the Wasteland, and upon finding The Institute, an organisation driven by the pursuit of knowledge, has found her home. Able to BLOCK ONE action of a player each night. In addition, can BLOCK an action targeting a member of her faction ONCE. If Dr. Li is seered by the Brotherhood, they will be given the chance to allow her to defect from The Institute and join The Brotherhood instead.

With access to the deadliest weapons in the World, merciless robot killers known as Coursers, since the Big Bombs fell all those years ago. Dr. Ayo is able to KILL ONE player each night phase.
Dr. Clayton Holdren, Head of Bio-Science
Dr. Clayton Holdren is responsible for ensuring The Institute is well resourced and survives to strive to fix the World for the good of The Institute...or is it all of man-kind? Whilst the technology in The Institute is second to none in the Wasteland, powering it sustainably is a massive problem that the generators can't quite solve. Helps carry out night actions.
Win Condition, Eliminate The Railroad, Brotherhood of Steel, The Minutemen and have as many members left as The Wasteland.
BROTHERHOOD OF STEEL
Elder Arthur Maxson
Leader of the Brotherhood in Boston, and a traditional ancestor of the BoS founders, Maxson is a strict upholder of guarding the secrets and exclusivity the Brotherhood promote within their organisation. One of the bravest fighters in all Chapters of the Brotherhood, he leads the East Coast Chapter from their air ship The Prydwen. even probably it's entire history, Maxson can KILL ONE player each night and is IMMUNE to night kills.

Proctor Teagan, Order of The Sword
The Quartermaster and cataloger of all Brotherhood Weapons and Armour, Teagan makes sure Food is well stocked and assists Elder Maxson with night kills.

Good?
THE RAILROAD
Desdemona
Leader of the secret organisation, 'Des' is hell bent on protecting the lives of Synths who are exploited and manipulated by The Institute whilst feared and killed in the Wasteland. Cannot be killed at NIGHT.
Deacon
The charming, inconspicuous stealth man of the Railroad has been on the trail of too many people to count, and none of them have had the slightest clue. Deacon is a master persuader and can BLACKMAILONE player each night to vote for the person of their choosing in the corresponding day phase.
Glory
The self professed 'Heavy' of the Railroad, Glory is a heavy weapons specialist, and the best fighter of the small, secretive society. Glory can KILL ONE player every night phase.
Tinker Tom
Tinker Tom is a crazy inventor, one parts genius, one parts addicted to all forms of substances, all of him is crazy paranoid. Tinker Tom will KNOW when he has been seered, and every TWO nights can give Desdemona one of the THREE inventions he has been working on. Which one will be decided by chance.
Win by eliminating the Brotherhood, the Institute, the Minutemen and having the same number of people left as the Village.
THE MINUTEMEN
Preston Garvey
Can't be KILLED at night...dammit. Can KILL ONE person each night phase.
Mama Murphy
Once a fearsome warrior lady of the Wastelands called Murphy the Madwoman (apparently), too many Chems has given the nickname Madwoman for other reasons...
Mama Murphy proclaims to have the 'Sight' and can SEER ONE player each night phase. If she finds some more CHEMS for her habit (explained later), Mama Murphy could have a stronger vision and be able to SEER TWO people in the same night phase, however, the effort will leave her with a 50/50 chance of seering the correct role of the player chosen the following night.
Sturges
The fix-it man of Garvey's patched together group, Sturges is a capable mechanic and computer hacker, and will back up his saviour Preston to the end. Can BLOCK the action of one player each night. Has an additional BLOCK of ONE action targeting the group during the whole game. If Sturges can get his hands on some CHEMS, he can work on the Minutemen machinery without pause, and BLOCK two actions in one night, but will be unable to do anything the following night.
Chems
If the Minutemen kill a Wastelander, there is a 1/2 chance the group will find Chems on their dead body.
If they kill anyone else there will be a 1/4 chance.
Eliminate all other factions and have a higher number of people left than the Village
CLARIFICATION: Whilst Groups in this WW Game fall into loose categories, really all groups have the moral ambiguity of the Factions in Fallout they are based on, are any really good? or evil? Or are they just striving to ensure the future they believe in, much like the village...

- The Sole Survivor will find out the Role of the person, as he actually has a real SEER each night.
- Each neutral is not yet part of a Faction until they find one, and therefore help make up the Village until such time

- Lone Wanderer can recruit regular villagers with no powers
Danse
