Manchu Presents ~
Werewolf: Terror In Dakkadorf
Ripening clusters of hops and stalks of barley shudder in the chill autumn winds. These crops and the delicious, malty beer made from them are the lifeblood of Dakkadorf. Truth be told, beer is the only thing going for Dakkadorf. If Dakkabräu beer was not the Count's favorite, the village would be in terrible straits.
And so of course disaster would strike just before the Count's annual thirteen barrels of beer can be brewed and delivered!
This morning, you villagers found the Bräumeister dead in the barley fields. Actually, some of him was in the fields. Another chunk was left outside the threshing barn and another ... ah well, you get the idea, yes? And those monstrous tracks ... These things are not unheard of so close to the Black Forest.
Decades ago, a pack of werewolves came down from the woods and terrorized Dakkadorf. Despite the best efforts of the village elders, it seems they failed to stamp out the curse. And now one or more of your neighbors is actually a ravening beast.
What a time to be leaderless! The first order of business must surely be choosing a new Bräumeister, if anyone can agree on who should be given the honor. If the thirteen barrels can be made, the Count's knights (having an almost supernatural sense of when beer is ready to haul away and drink) will surely come and kill the beast. Or perhaps you villagers should also take matters into your own hands in the meantime, lynching the more suspicious among you?
To make matters worse, there is a rumor that someone in town is an outlaw wanted by the Count. Such a man would surely do anything, even kill, to forestall the arrival of the Count's knights. The knights would at the very least haul him off to the dungeon and at worst kill him on the spot. But perhaps if this man killed a werewolf, his crimes would be pardoned and he could rejoin society.
These are strange times indeed. Some say it is possible to have visions about the true nature of others' hearts. It is also whispered that the spirits of those who met a violent end walk the village at night and one can hear them if one listens at the door. Could such superstitions be of some use in the ominous days ahead?

Ye Olde Rules
Alignment & Victory Conditions
There are three alignments: Villager, Werewolf, and Hunter. Only you know your alignment at the beginning of the game.
There is at least one werewolf. There may be one Hunter. Everyone else is a Villager. One Villager may also be a Mystic.
The Villagers win when every werewolf is dead or when they have brewed thirteen finished barrels of beer.
The Werewolf/werewolves win when the number of living Werewolves equals the number of living Villagers (not counting the Hunter).
Until the Hunter kills a Werewolf, he wins by preventing the Villagers from brewing thirteen barrels of beer until Werewolf victory (assuming he survives). If the Hunter kills a Werewolf, he becomes a Villager including for the purposes of victory conditions. Note: this means the Hunter and Werewolf can both win.
Day, Night, and Lynching
Each turn is split into a Day phase and a Night phase.
During the Day phase:
- all living (not yet eliminated) players may post in the thread
- no dead (eliminated) players may post in the thread
- all living players participate in electing a Bräumeister (by a 60% majority of votes, rounding up)
- all living players may vote to lynch any living player (by a simple majority of votes)
Note: only a majority (whether simple or 60%) of votes actually cast and NOT players able to vote is necessary.
The Day phase lasts for 24 hours in real time. At that point, the moderator will tally votes (if any) for lynching and electing a Bräumeister. The moderator will announce the results, at which point the target of the lynch, if any, will be considered dead (eliminated). The moderator will announce the alignment and role of the lynched player. If a Bräumeister has been elected he may then send a PM to the moderator appointing any living player as a Guard for any other living player (see below).
During the Night phase:
- all dead players may post in the thread
- no living players may post in the thread
- the Werewolf or Werewolves must send a PM to the moderator with the name of the living player they want to kill that night (one per night regardless of the number of Werewolves); if the moderator only receives one PM, the player named in that PM will be considered the target
- the Mystic, if any, may send a PM to the moderator with the name of the living player he wishes to investigate (see below)
- the Hunter, if any, may send a PM to the moderator with the name of the living player he wishes to kill (see below)
The Night phase lasts for 24 hours in real time. If a Bräumeister was elected during the previous Day phase, he must PM the moderator about Guard appointment by the end of that Night phase or forfeit the appointment.
The moderator will announce who, if any one, was killed during the Night phase at the beginning of the next Day phase. The moderator will only reveal if the Bräumeister appointed a Guard if the Guard is killed.
The Bräumeister & Brewing Beer
If a Bräumeister is elected, each living player other than the Bräumeister must declare that they are harvesting either hops or barely during that Day phase. Each player harvests one point of that ingredient for that Day phase. Note: only declared harvesting generates points.
At the end of the Night phase, the moderator will subtract any points harvested by a Werewolf, by the Hunter if he killed during that Night phase, and by anyone appointed by the Bräumeister as a Guard during the previous Night phase. Of the remaining points, each matching pair generates one finished barrel of beer at the beginning of the next Day phase. Unmatched points (leftover ingredients) persist.
The Villagers win (and the Werewolves and Hunter lose) if there are thirteen barrels at the beginning of a Day phase before a Werewolf victory.
If a Bräumeister is not elected, no resource points can be harvested during that Day phase. The Bräumeister cannot harvest resource points. The Bräumeister must be re-elected every Day phase but the same living player can be elected multiple times in a row or otherwise.
The Guard
At the beginning of the Night phase, the Bräumeister elected during the immediately preceding Day phase may secretly appoint (by PM to the moderator, as above) any living player as a Guard protecting any other living player during that Night phase. If the Werewolf or Hunter attempts to kill the protected player, the Guard dies instead. If the Guard is killed, the moderator will announce his death at the beginning of the following Day phase along with the identity of the player he was assigned to protect. The Werewolf or Hunter may kill whoever is appointed Guard as if that player was not the Guard.
The Guard cannot generate harvest points on the Day phase following guard duty.
The Mystic
This is a secret role; only the person assigned the role knows he has this role until he is killed. Each Night phase while the Mystic is still alive, he may send a PM to the moderator with the name of one living player. If the Mystic survives that Night phase, the moderator will send a PM in response with the alignment and role, if any, of that player. This includes the Guard role.
The Hunter
This is a semi-secret role; only the person assigned the role knows he has this role until he is killed or his identity is revealed. Each Night phase while the Hunter is still alive, he may send a PM to the moderator with the name of one living player. If that player is not being protected by the Guard, that player will be killed and his alignment revealed the following morning. If the Hunter kills a Werewolf, he immediately becomes a Villager and his identity as the Hunter is not revealed by the moderator. The moderator will reveal the identity of the Hunter at the beginning of the Day phase following the death of the second Villager the Hunter kills. If the Hunter kills, the resource he collected does not count.
Alignment and Role Revelation
The moderator will announce the alignment and role, if any, of a player at the beginning of the Day phase after the he is killed.
Questions
Living players may only post a question to the moderator in the thread during the Day phase and dead players may only post a question to the moderator in the thread during the Night phase. Any players may send a PM to the moderator with a question at any time.
I have PMed everyone their alignments and roles, if any. Please take some time to read the rules above. Remember you can PM me with a question at any time but non-eliminated players may only post ITT during the Day. Night starts 24 hours from 13:04:51 EST.
Who am I to stand in the way of a good lynch-mob? Is this a 'bring your own torches and pitchforks' affair? Or will they be passed around when we get to Kronk's house?
On a more village-oriented matter, can whoever keeps pissing on the outhouse seat please clean up after themselves, and would it kill you to replace the bog roll when it's empty?
You're not the only one who gaks themselves every night.

It's not actually. The stuff that is relies on it.
This is pointless. We Lynch Kronk and vote for Whitey. He will lead us to the truth!
- I vote for _____ as Bräumeister.
- I think we should lynch _____.
- I will harvest _____ today.
You don't have to it exactly like those examples and I know there's incentive to seem ambiguous. I'll do my best to read your intentions when they're not totally clear but appreciate anything you can do to clarify in the meantime. And no, votes/declarations by PM don't count.
Oh. Yeah. Well, I guess I am a traitor. It's just that Purplefood is even more of a traitor than I am. Burn the more treasonous person! And I never pee in that outhouse. I use the bush.
What be with this talk of lynching of the Kronk? I'm a simple drunkard. My father was a drunkard, my father’s father was a drunkard, and my father’s father’s father was a sheep fether. But we don’t talk about him no more. I have sampled d-usa’s wares and they’re a travesty. I’d rather drink from a bull’s udder than have a pint of what he’s a brewin’, if you take my meaning!
MrDwhite’s family, on the other hand, has been friendly with my family for generations. Ever since my father’s father’s father’s father began a drinkin’ their beer on account of his son being a sheep fether. But we don’t talk about him no more. Anyway, I vote for MrDwhite as braumeister.
Additionally, I think we’re all a bit quick on the draw to be pointing fingers at people. You so and so’s don’t have any account with me, nor me with you. So feth off. I think we should lynch no one. Now if you sheep fether’s will excuse me, I for one, will do something useful and harvest hops today. N’ you can all kiss my backside.
His frikken Avatar is saying he is not a Werewolf and a legit guy, Avatars never lie, are blue and have sexy side bluwbs. Avatars can also master all the elemens of fire, air, water and earth bending. A fire bending Avatar is an Avatar of Khaine, Khain was eaten but didn't like it, ergo he wouldn't want to eat other people.
I vote to lynch kronk - It's the only thing we as a village are agreed upon.
I vote to appoint MrDWhitey as braumaster I shall gather some barley should a Braumaster be elected.
I vote to lynch kronk's lynched corpse to send a message that we are not afraid to defend ourselves, but we might need a change of underwear afterwards.
Kronk says Lynch d-usa. The man makes ginger beer. GINGER! I'd rather go to one of them fancy restaurant type places that makes you eat raw fish with a pair of sticks than have ginger beer.
I feel quite lonely being a cider drinker in this thread
At least I'm not from Somerset
For this day cycle I vote:
MrDWhitey as Braumaster Hopefully it won't be too tepid
Lynch Purplefood the man doth protest too much for my liking
I will harvest Barley if there's a Braumaster
If I was the werewolf, why would I start accusing everyone of being the werewolf? Wouldn't that be too obvious of a strategy to throw attention off of myself?

Unless you assumed we'd think it was obvious and do it to try and fool us.
It's a double bluff!

Death to Kronk!
Death to the Great Betrayer!
Death to the False One!
Kronk is also a cider drinker. Angry Orchard is the bee's knees.
However, we all want Mr.DWhitey to be the brewer and kill d-usa because he hyphens his name like a pretentious woman that won't take her good husband's name!
Also, *hic* how mush, mucho, much of these damn hops does a man gotta harvest?
Please ensure that all doors and windows are firmly secured, and that you have fresh underwear at the ready for any accidents that may occur during the course of the night.
The Count Protects [or at least he will when he get his sodding beer done...].
In the waning light of dusk, the villagers gather round a great oak tree at the edge of the fields. A thick rope is tied around one of its sturdy boughs. The other end is looped into a noose around the neck of the local drunk. The crowd sneers and yells for his death. Someone darts foward and kicks out the fat log the poor drunkard is standing on but not before he lets out one last hiccup. There is a merciful snap. The crowd is quiet, leaning in, waiting to see if the body tranforms into that of a terrible beast.
But nothing happens. The villagers have murdered one of their own.
Kronk has been lynched. He was the Mystic.
MrDwhitey has been elected Bräumeister.
Remember -- only the dead may post during Night.
It's time for the living to go home, lock their doors, and pray to see the dawn ... or slip out into the dark for dark purposes.
MrDwhitey: please PM as to whether you will appoint a Guard tonight -- who is the Guard and who are they appointed to protect?
You fething feths! See! See! I was just a harmless old drunk trying to do good for my fellow man and harvest oats or wheat or something for the festival. I dunno. Someone just gave me a bushel and pointed!
BUT NOOOOOO! You had to go an hang me! Me? Lovable, affable Kronk!
And let's start at the top!
The very first post in the thread, before people are assigned their tasks: Purplefood throws me under the bus! Just like that! Without a howdy or a hello! I'm haunting your dreams! Here I am, up in your noggin, chasing you down a deserted highway with an 18-wheeler!
Spoiler:
purplefood wrote: I assume we can't just ask you who the werewolf is?
If we can. Is it Kronk?
Notice how someone quickly darted forward to kick out the log? Almost as if he wanted me out of the way. A shifty fella, if you ask me. Someone with something to hide. Get it? Wolves have hides! Also, note that it takes anger to kill someone. Perhaps angry that for generations, my family has passed his pub time and again for MrDwhitey's Family stocks! You know what type of person can't control their anger? Gingers! You know what kind of beer d-usa makes? Ginger! You know who kicked the log from beneath me feet? No? Because you're a bunch of slack jawed yokels and you weren't paying attention!
Now then! Let's see who else had something to gain from my demise! Someone whose family is so poor they have to beg for torches and pitch forks! You know what else torches can be used for? That's right, sticks! You know who likes to play with sticks? fething dogs!

Hmm? Hmm? Pretty sharp for a drunkard, no? And another thing! He admits that the werewolves are from London!

Furthermore, he admits that werewolves found in London are American 100% of the time! You know who else is American and has been to London?

How else would he know that British people "Really do drink their beer warm"? Fact 1: He's been to London. Fact 2: He's an American Fact 3:...He's a fething werewolf!
Given that I have all the information necessary to begin Day One and that the shade of poor kronk (so far but not for long the only dead player) has delivered his wrath unto the cold stars of the night sky, we shall end Night One early ...
Day Two
Could anyone have slept through that night?
Some lay awake tortured by their consciences, the thought of an innocent drunk swinging from the great oak tormenting them -- and that wind! Howling through streets like the wails of an angry ghost ... or the gleeful howl of a ravenous beast? Perhaps both? Yes, the wind howled, howled and screamed through the humble village of Dakkadorf. Screams in the night ... and screams at dawn when the bodies were discovered ...
Remember: only the Living may post during the day.
Hlaine Larkin mk 2 has been killed. He was the Hunter.
TheCustomLime has been killed. He was a Villager.
One barrel of beer was finished under the auspices of Bräumeister Dwhitey.
Three bushels of hops remain unused from Day One.
- You may declare which item to harvest. - You may vote to lynch another player. - You may vote to elect today's Bräumeister.
He might not have been a wolf, but I am sure he prefers death to a lifetime of drinking the crap Whitey brews. Have you heard that WhiteyBräu is so toxic that it will give you hallucinations? That poor drunk fool thought he was a mystic because he heard so many voices from all the horrible stuff Whitey puts in his 'beer'. We are all doomed when the Count starts hallucinating from his swill. But don't listen to the Bavarians, it's not like we are the only people ever smart enough to throw Hitler in jail.
I vote for myself as the B-Man again, it's the only hope we have. Harvesting some barley as well, although it's a shame to have such fine a grain wasted on a horrible beer...
Okay, we need a reality check here: there are only 8 of us left, including at least one oversized mutt with bits of Larkin (unless the hunter can elect to kill himself overnight /shrug) in his teeth.
We have only one barrel of Dakka's Finest* ready, and we're still fighting over the position of braumaster. I admit that I first took d-usa to be the Hunter, given his insistence upon stalling the brewmaster election, but now, in the hour of our direst need for comradeship, he once more attempts to seize the power not only over the brew, but over our lives!
The Count cares not about quality, only that he has thirteen barrels - 13 barrels in exchange for protection. Is d-usa so uncaring that he would seek to jeopardise all our lives for a title that will hold no meaning when we are all dead and eaten?
I pose two possibilities: that d-usa join us in a show of solidarity, or that he cements his position as an enemy of the village, a potential werewolf, and is lynched for all our sakes.
Until such a time as d-usa proves his intent to lend his aid to the cause of the majority, I vote for his lynching. I also give my continued support to the braumaster striving to give us a means to our protection, MrDWhitey, and elect to repeat my collection of barley.
In light of d-usa's willingness to support the village's course, I withdraw my vote to lynch him, and at this point shall abstain from voting. I do not believe in rash decisions to hang valuable members of our village.
I stand by my earlier vote for MrDWhitey for Braumaster.
Three votes have been logged for d-usa's lynching; a fourth vote will see him hung high - as I am abstaining from such a vote, as I promised to him, assuming all seven of you vote then four will see a majority.
The night draws close, and despite his prior opposition, I fear at the start of it we shall have yet another innocent man swinging from the rafters.

**OOC** Just needed to say i will be away all of tomorrow and all of Sunday morning due to having to go camping for Duke of Edinburg. I sincerely apologies, they moved it forward from next week.
Do try not to hang me while i am gone, i will be most displeased.
WarOne should be standing here with this itchy role around his neck! Truly there could not be another that is as likely to be the werewolf. I saw him walk past kronk once while the drunk was passed out. His arse was sticking out of his pants and was white as the full moon. When WarOne walked past this "moon" he got really sweaty like and kept on staring at his hands as if he was worried they might change. I saw the face of a scared and guilty man that day, it's not too late to reconsider and let me off this stool!
I'm a humble peddler of half arsed history of the far future and nothing more. I may be condemned for sending billions of fictional female virgins to their doom, but I'm currently a harvester of barley and nothing more.
Another stands on the fat log beneath the great oak, tied to the sturdy old tree by a noose-knotted rope like some kind of mobid, reverse umbilical. He has said his peace, begged mercy from his neighbors, but none of his fellow Dakkadorfers seem moved in the slightest. Again, the fat log is kicked out from the doomed man's feet but this time there is no merciful snap signifying a quick end. There is a terrible twisting and kicking and gurgling but for naught. Soon the taut rope swings silently.
A diminished host of narrowed eyes searches for a sign of the beast-change ... but no, another innocent has died at the hands of the mob. Shamefacedly, the crowd look to one another. Surely a werewolf could not contain his mirth at the village's misfortune. But no eyes betray a feral nature as the sun sinks once again and the terrible night draws near. Time again to fasten the shutters, bolt the doors, and pray for another breath at the dawn.
You have lynched d-usa, a Villager.
You have re-elected MrDwhitey as Bräumeister.
Remember: Only the dead may post in this thread during the Night phase.
Please send all PMs before night ends, approximately 24 hours from the time of this post.
I hope the count makes you all choke on your gakky beer you fethers! I tried to earn us favors from the count by brewing the finest beer there ever was, but instead you keep on electing a fool that has never heard of the Reinheitsgebot and a man who pours who-knows-what in his beer. A pox on all of you.
I wanted to make the best beer so the count would not kill us all, but I still collected the ingridients for this piss water and what is my thanks? A too-long time of chocking on the end of a too-short rope. Not only do you guys suck at making beer, you suck at lynching people! At least I get to watch WarOne kill one of you fethers tonight in your sleep!
Now where is kronk, he might have horrible taste in beer but I need a drinking buddy tonight.
Now where is kronk, he might have horrible taste in beer but I need a drinking buddy tonight.
I would, but your beer sucks! Poor me some of MrDwhitey's brew and I'll sit for a spell with you and tell you all about being dead.
"First off, you get to watch people shower ALL THE TIME! It's great! Hey, guess which town elder wears women's undies! It's..."
Also, feth all of ya'll that hung D-USA! Yes, his beer sucked! Yes, he talked so differently from the rest of us that you wouldn't let your daughter's near his home. And YES, he smelt of cabbage and brats. But hear me out. He was. Uh. That is to say. Hmph. At least he weren't no baby killing werewolf!

Werewolves don't care what you do. Whether you're a crappy brewmaster, a cheap harlot, or a rich bishop. They kill just for spite. And food. And sometimes revenge.
Also, I'm no longer pissed off. I just got my email from forge world saying that my Horus mini, my FWHH Book 3 collectors set with box and gak, and a few odds and ends just shipped.
I don't trust Alex. I dated an Alex briefly. A SHE-ALEX. An Alexandra, for those keeping score at home. It ended badly. Thus, ALEXisAWESOME is trouble.
What gets me is just how mindless these killings seem to be. There have been no guard reports, and no attempts on the life of the braumaster, his most vocal supporter, or one of the main people involved in getting this village together - myself.
In fact, only those opposed to Whitey's braumastership have been taken out, but each time shown to be but humble villagers.
It seems to me that a campaign attempting to pin whitey, and the supporters of this village's continued existence, as being werewolves has been started - it's easy; the werewolf can throw all accusations at those who have the most to gain from the werewolf's strategic kills.
If the werewolf can have whitey lynched, then the villager will be without a braumaster, leadership, and another - in my honest opinion - innocent villager. With the braumaster dead and the village in disarray, nobody will be guarded, and either purple or me will feel the werewolf's teeth on their neck during the next night. With four people remaining, the werewolf can pin the murders on the last remaining follower of whitey, claiming that he had the most to gain from eliminating his fellows by focussing the village's ire, and reducing its innocent leadership to nothing. One final lynching, followed by one final murder in the night, would be all it takes for the werewolf to have outsmarted all of us by turning us against ourselves!
I say to him now, wherever he may stand amongst us, that I shall not stand for this! Under Whitey's leadership this village has stood firm and loyal to the Count! We - and the Count by extension - shall not be made fools of by an overgrown hound! Suspicion may very well fall upon Whitey and his supporters, but why not upon his opposition? Why, after all these deaths of Whitey's foes, do those that remain feel so safe in opposing him? The werewolf's mistake has been his own cockiness! Whitey offers us some semblance of safety - some small glimmer of hope - and yet still he faces enemies who are seemingly ignorant of the fates that befell their fellows.
Look not towards Whitey for treachery; look towards those who believed that Whitey's way was not the true way, and appear blissfully ignorant of the fates that met their fellow believers. There is no fear in their eyes, no doubt, only something that makes them think they are safe. The truth is that nobody here is safe, nobody but the werewolf, and he has made his final mistake by betraying himself through his arrogance.
WarOne has yet to claim allegiance to a master, perhaps because he needs no master, for he is his own. WarOne, stand you with us? Or stand you against us?

He claims his legs are broken, and yet also claims to be harvesting our crops from the land. I am sure if the braumaster tallied our harvests he would find anomalies that match WarOne's alleged 'harvests'.
I find myself more and more suspicious of his true intentions.

I challenge your legs to become Land Raiders, and further challenge any among us to don terminator armour, wield a multilaser, and stand legs akimbo atop both land raiders at once, doing the occasional backflip.
IN THE PROCESS CONFIRMING THAT THEY ARE IN FACT A WEREWOLF!

I am simply a humble poet laureate and Noble prize winning author, who is also harvesting barley.
I challenge your legs to become Land Raiders, and further challenge any among us to don terminator armour, wield a multilaser, and stand legs akimbo atop both land raiders at once, doing the occasional backflip.
IN THE PROCESS CONFIRMING THAT THEY ARE IN FACT A WEREWOLF!
I see the misconception for the misidentification, as the newly minted land raider legs are Space Wolf Land Raiders and as you can see in the blistering light of salvos of mutlilasers going off while back flipping terminator armor style, the iconography of the Space Wolves may lead to easy confusion.
I now have some interesting writings to share about Macha. Would you like to hear the good word?

In fact, only those opposed to Whitey's braumastership have been taken out, but each time shown to be but humble villagers.
It seems to me that a campaign attempting to pin whitey, and the supporters of this village's continued existence, as being werewolves has been started - it's easy; the werewolf can throw all accusations at those who have the most to gain from the werewolf's strategic kills.
If the werewolf can have whitey lynched, then the villager will be without a braumaster, leadership, and another - in my honest opinion - innocent villager. With the braumaster dead and the village in disarray, nobody will be guarded, and either purple or me will feel the werewolf's teeth on their neck during the next night. With four people remaining, the werewolf can pin the murders on the last remaining follower of whitey, claiming that he had the most to gain from eliminating his fellows by focussing the village's ire, and reducing its innocent leadership to nothing. One final lynching, followed by one final murder in the night, would be all it takes for the werewolf to have outsmarted all of us by turning us against ourselves!
I say to him now, wherever he may stand amongst us, that I shall not stand for this! Under Whitey's leadership this village has stood firm and loyal to the Count! We - and the Count by extension - shall not be made fools of by an overgrown hound! Suspicion may very well fall upon Whitey and his supporters, but why not upon his opposition? Why, after all these deaths of Whitey's foes, do those that remain feel so safe in opposing him? The werewolf's mistake has been his own cockiness! Whitey offers us some semblance of safety - some small glimmer of hope - and yet still he faces enemies who are seemingly ignorant of the fates that befell their fellows.
Look not towards Whitey for treachery; look towards those who believed that Whitey's way was not the true way, and appear blissfully ignorant of the fates that met their fellow believers. There is no fear in their eyes, no doubt, only something that makes them think they are safe. The truth is that nobody here is safe, nobody but the werewolf, and he has made his final mistake by betraying himself through his arrogance.
WarOne has yet to claim allegiance to a master, perhaps because he needs no master, for he is his own. WarOne, stand you with us? Or stand you against us?
So lynch Purple or did we already hang him? I missed a day cause time zones and stuff.
I think most people are past caring. I take my scythe to the barley fields every day, and can do nought but sigh as people ignore our stockpiled hops in favour of harvesting yet more. It's as if people are resigned to a fate that they do not realise they can fight against, and that is what the werewolf is counting on.
The pen doth make the weak strong but if my lore is to endure, we must take action against those who would smite the unwary and cull us before we had a chance to put a legacy in place.
Even given proof of n0t_u's dubious actions, you would still sooner have nobody hung?
How many times must I sigh at such treachery? It seems to me that the werewolf is, or has a valuable ally in you, War(d)One.
It is with a heavy heart that I must condemn another villager to death for the crimes of being and/or aiding a dangerous beast. n0t_u shall answer soon enough, but for now, we must remove those who would stand against a united village.
War(d)One, despite your believable claims to humanity, your actions speak of a higher purpose than the survival of yourself and your fellows, and so I must vote for you to by lynched. May you pickle in the Count's Great Halls soon enough.
I will harvest barley as normal.
Whitey has my vote for Braumaster, for without him we are nothing.

As dusk draws near, only a few Dakkadorfers have the courage to get the lynch together. It's been a run of bad luck so far. Perhaps the others are too ashamed to participate?
In any case, the fat log is resolutely tipped and the stony-hearted few who gathered to do it find that once again no beast-change occurs. They have killed yet another innocent.
One begins to wonder whether the days aren't darker than the nights ...
It appears for all his sins writing the any codices of power he was still just a plain old human, not a furry
And both "Beta" targets are still wandering around, sorry CustomLime
Not only did you kill war(d)One, you also killed the Force Org Chart.
Fethers.
I think I saw all the British villagers participating in some sort of werewolf orgy. Or a furry orgy. Either way, stuff like that has to be cause for death...

I'm glad the werewolf got me when he did otherwise I might have lost a few Sanity points
Upon advice from the gallery, I am ending Night now.
Day Four
What a terrible racket in the night! The surviving villagers fairly ran to the town square to look for some explanation. There by the fountain lay another of their number dead. But what's this? A sword in his hand stained with blood? He must have fought it or them off! Someone was lucky last night but it wasn't this poor man.
The Braumeister appointed n0t_u as Guard and he died in the line of duty. He was a Villager. He was appointed to guard purplefood.
One additional barrel of beer has been finished, bringing the total to four. One bushel of hops remains from the previous days' harvesting.
So MDW, you wanted the wolf/wolves to win? That explains your posts. But it doesn't explain why people voted for you. I was so confused by the villagers' play style in this game ...

Not surprisingly, several of those who banded together are friends/frequent online chat buddies/DOOMFART associates.
Manchu wrote: Why did you guys vote for the werewolf cultist?
I voted to harvest barley.
It was too late I figured out purplefood was a werewolf.
The most votes for MrDWhitey occurred due to them being associated outside the forums.
Simply put the more cohesive group "won" the game.
Neither I nor Purplefood were werewolves.
For all intents and purposes though, sabotaging the game for the werewolf side counts you against the rest of the group. Not much better than the werewolves.

Of course, its all a game and we move on !
In all fairness, they didn't know I was a werewolf until last night, when we'd already won. I simply used their plans to cover our tracks.
JB wrote: I knew that it was possible to have two werewolves but the low body count lulled my suspicions.
There was probably little chance that anyone but Dwhitey was ever going to be the Braumeister.
It actually benefits the Werewolf(s) to not attack every night. Yes, killing people gets you closer to winning the game, but it also depletes your buffer of suspicion.
Indeed, Alex and I take that crown. *performs stage bow*
You'd be correct in your assumption.
His going away for the weekend really helped both throw suspicion off of him and lend credence to the belief that there was only one werewolf.
Nobody having read this part:
the Werewolf or Werewolves must send a PM to the moderator with the name of the living player they want to kill that night (one per night regardless of the number of Werewolves); if the moderator only receives one PM, the player named in that PM will be considered the target
of the OP helped a lot, too. For those in game 2, 1 kill does not = 1 werewolf.

You are correct in assuming that I missed that part.
Now that it's over, I assume us normies can post here...I suspected Whitey if being a werewolf from the beginning: anyone who called him turned up dead. It was too suspicious, and maybe that's why everyone let him slide: he was so obvious that it couldn't be him. I still would have lynched him day two.

Read the DCM thread, there's a reason for that.
Also, vote me Braumaster for the next town, I have halberds and pole arms for our guards and not wimpy swords that require you to get within reach of stinky dogs!
JB wrote: There was probably little chance that anyone but Dwhitey was ever going to be the Braumeister.
There was no rational reason for this but no even attempted to argue that.
It was important that he stayed braumaster, mainly for the continued existence of mine and Alex's cover. He always had at least 4 votes (himself, purple, alex, and me) and we relied on the complete lack of organisation amongst the other villagers to keep him in. So long as we voted in a braumaster and harvested crops, we'd instantly be under less suspicion. Losing three villagers in the first day/night pretty much sealed that entire part of the plan. A braumaster wasn't necessary, but whitey and purple's continued existence was, for whitey could be voted in again later. With the three deaths in the first day/night, and 4 votes secure on whitey's side, neither he nor purple could ever be hanged unless alex and me withdrew our support. We controlled their existence.
Avatar 720 wrote: the complete lack of organisation amongst the other villagers
This is what baffled me.
Some of us simply wanted to do our own thing for the sake of the thing. I was so enwrapped in pretending to be a horrible writer and harvest of barley that I barely paid any mind to the politics of the village.
kronk wanted to be drunk.
2 others died way too early to have any impact.
Let that be a lesson: vote or be lynched/mauled by werewolf.
I mainly hoped that people would immediately think d-usa is in on something because he opposed what was, at the time, a majority vote for braumaster, and would instead vote for whitey to secure the position. With CustomLime - d-usa's most vocal supporter - ending up dead, it seemed fairly logical that people would assume that siding with him meant death. After day/night 2, whitey's vote for braumaster could never fail.
EDIT: To add to the siding with d-usa = death, it was clear that the hunter had his eyes set upon d-usa's side, too, since he was the one who offed CustomLime. That couldn't have lent them much legitimacy.

They didn't have time to gel. You always have a storming and then norming period in any new group. Whitey, Purps, and Avatar had a first mover advantage because they already are well known to each other. While they didn't know each other's thoughts, they did know their predilections and could reliably depend upon the others not to vote (kill) them off the island immediately.
JB wrote: Marcus had supporters? I thought he got left (unfairly) high and dry.
He had Lime on day one, and by the end of night one anyone who might have voted for him could've changed their minds instead of making themselves look like part of what seemed to be a guilty party.
I'm just going off assumptions I consciously and subconsciously made, along with hoping for a fairly sizeable chunk of luck.
Whitey wasn't in cahoots. He and Purps were just being true to themselves, which is exactly what Avatar (AKA CdM) expected.
I suspected ALEX and not_u early on because they were so dang quiet. But I thought only one person was a werewolf and I could not decide which one of them it was.
Manchu, I, too would like entrance to the third game. Should be fun and eat up time during work (I can post during the work day, and my dad brews his own delicious beer and has passed on some knowledge to me, just saying)

We have played stuff together long enough we take cues from each other very easily.

Forgive this breach of posting rules, as I wasn't in the game, but I would also like to take part in game 3 if possible I didn't see a sign up thread for game 3, so... yeah.
I promise to increase the villager's IQ total by two, and shamelessly suck up to the Brewmeister
Presuming as this is over, it's fine to post here?
Any chance of more of a break between the starting of a new thread, just missed the sign up to the new one?
Also, quick lynching seemed to be a problem. I'd thought about a solution to this... The Alchomancer...
It has long been known that deep below the town many ancient crypts, cairns and tombs form a great labyrinth of the dead. While none have ventured into these dark places in centuries it is rumoured to be the home of one bitter necromancer. Barred from all the taverns across the land by decree of the Count he dwells within the labyrinth, waiting for the chance of vengeance. His powers are not terribly strong and he can only rouse the freshly deceased and even then he is limited to mostly intact corpses. For each innocent lynched, or murdered by the hunter, the Alchomancer gains servants by which to brew his own tasty beverages. The Alchomancer is his own Braumiester and may use his zombie minions to gather the ingredients when night falls. The Alchomancer's goal is to brew more barrels of beer than the living brewers and have the Counts Knights take his Necrotic Beer instead. What dire purpose this is for is unknown, but a evil fate awaits those that drinketh that concoction
Doesn't need to be a player, but perhaps just an automatic entity. Every two zombies he has means he'll be producing one barrel of beer per night.
Basically either can outbrew the living by reaching 13 barrels, or have his own beer taken away at the end of the game by having more barrels brewed. Perhaps influencing another tale...
Just a daft suggestion, keeping it fairly tongue in cheek while allowing the story to progress.
To be fair, ALL of the credit should go to Avatar, he was planning this thoroughly from the very start. I honestly was just going to eat people, but he was the man with the plan!
I also really, really want to apologies for having to go away last weekend. My D of E wasn't meant to be until this weekend but it was forcast for rain so they moved it forward. If it makes you all feel better about being pawns in Avatar's Master Plan it did end up raining and i had to walk around the Welsh country side all weekend in the pouring rain and my tent had a hole in it.
Wow, Karma's a B*tch.
Anyway, thanks for letting me eat your intestines!

How can we hate and demonize you when you're being so nice
I didn't see a sign up thread for game 3, so... yeah.
