RULES and ROLES
Werewolf
The Rules
At the beginning of the game each player is given a 'role' at random and in secret by myself, the moderator, via PM. Those roles are Villager (good) and Werewolf (evil).
The villagers will greatly outnumber the werewolves — in a 21 player game for example there will only be 3 werewolves — and the aim of the villagers is to identify and kill all the werewolves before the werewolves can kill enough villagers so that ( # of wolves = # of villagers).
How are players killed?
Each 'turn' of the game will last 24hrs or so 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 (12am - 9am) - When the werewolves secretly decide amongst themselves, via PM communication, which villager (one per night) that they shall slaughter and kill and then each inform the moderator of their vote via PM.
Day Phase (9am - 12am) - After the slaughter has been announced, everybody, villagers and werewolves alike, discusses and ultimately votes upon which player (one per day) that they shall lynch and kill.
Obviously during the day the villagers will want the group to vote for and lynch a werewolf, whilst the werewolves themselves will want not to be lynched; herein lies the fundamental strategy of the game ; can the villagers identify the werewolves whilst at the same time convincing the rest of the group that they're not themselves a werewolf? And can the werewolves convince the group that they're not wolves 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.
KILLED 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 tolerate bantering but please do not post anything that could influence peoples decisions.
THERE MUST BE NO PRIVATE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PLAYERS EXCEPT BETWEEN WEREWOLVES
Between non-werewolves, sending PM's or other forms of private communication concerning the game is not allowed.
Anyone found to be breaking the above rules will be banned from the next game, and repeat offences will result in being banned from all future games should there be any; please follow the rules and keep the game legitimate.
Voting
During the Day Phase players must vote for who to lynch, your vote must be done via PM. If you already don’t have a personal PM with me, you must create one, labelled with your username
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.
If a tie in voting occurs, we will go to rocks. This means that both players that were tied for the vote, are immune, and the moderator will use a randomizer to eliminate someone
During Night Phase, werewolves must PM the moderator their vote before the deadline (before the start of the following Day Phase). Again, if they fail to do so, or do not agree and votes are tied, the player slaughtered shall be chosen randomly by the moderator.
The Seer must inform the moderator of their day's 'target' via PM, if they fail to do so then they simply miss the opportunity.
The vigilante and chief guardian will also need to PM the moderator their kill, failure to do so will mean they miss their opportunity.

Individual Immunity Challenge - Along with the daily night recap, there will also be individual immunity challenge in one of the subsequent post after. The first person to complete the challenge, in the game thread, will receive immunity for the lynch and following night phase. This means that you cannot be voted for on the day of winning the challenge as well as during the subsequent night phase. If you do wish to give Immunity to another player, make your decision by 12pm AEST to give others a chance to vote in accordance to this decision. For more information on this, click here.
Hidden Immunity Idols (HII) - Hidden Immunity Idols can be found throughout the thread in moderator posts. If you think you have found a HII, please PM the moderator to confirm that you have found a HII. HII can only be played during day phase, and must be played prior to the deadline for lynching. This is to be done via PM. Playing a HII will result in you being immune for the next lynch and night phase. If you do play a HII, it will be revealed at the end of day phase. Once a HII has been found the reference will be removed from the post. For more information on this, click here.
tl;dr:
- 9am to 12am day phase, 15hours long
- vampires
- Individual Immunity Challenges.
- Hidden Immunity Idols
- If there is a tie, the vote goes to rocks
- All voting will be done via private/personal PMs
