In the days of yore, we used to play Werewolf/Mafia (and our own variant, Genestealer) here on Dakka pretty regularly.

For those who don't know, Werewolf is a party game where one or two players, the werewolves, try to kill the rest of the players, the villagers, before they can find and kill the werewolves. The roles are secretly assigned by a referee at the beginning of the game. Each turn is split into Day and Night. During the Day, the players argue among themselves about who is a werewolf. Once per day, they can vote to lynch someone before Night begins. At Night, the surviving werewolves pick someone to kill.

The werewolves win if there are as many werewolves as villagers during a Day phase.

The villagers win if they manage to lynch all the werewolves.

There are also special roles that allow players to shield one another at night or investigate other players' roles.

So is anyone interested in playing?

I am looking for between 7 and 11 players. If we can't find 7, we won't have enough for a really good game.

I'll join. Sounds interesting.

Great - glad to have you aboard. Let me know if you have any questions.

Here are some of the old game threads. Now these were heavily modified versions of the game but we will plays something a bit more basic:

Genestealers 1

Genestealers 2: Lost In Space

Heretic! Honoris Causa

Sounds like fun, a bit like wink wink murder we play in Drama Class. Count me in! *wink*

Welcome Alex ~ never heard of that one but there will be murder in this one

As the penultimate authority of Matt Wardianesque fluff this intrigues me.

I volunteer for tribute!

Well, let me know if intrigue becomes desire to join in the murder fun.

I'm in!
Is this going to be Werewolf or Genestealer btw?
A 40k themed version sounds fun even if it's only name changes for jobs...

I am in.

Edit: also totes not a wolf. Or Gener.

This sounds interesting, mafia usually is good fun. Count me in if there's space

We're only one person away from having a game!

This particular game will be bog-standard Werewolf but I am up for a customized, 40k-themed game (like the old days) after this one. If you want to see just how weird it can get, check out the Honoris Causa thread above ...

I'm up for it.

I already know Purple's the spy.

Excellent! That means we have a game. Now, let's see if we can fill up to eleven. I'll give it until tomorrow at 2200 GMT/1800 EST or until all remaining slots are taken.

At which time ... the hunt for the wolves ... or is it the wolves' hunt? ... will begin.

I volunteer to eat the humans/slaughter the wolves/whatever needs to be done.

Welcome aboard!

One of these again. I'm in if I'm not too late.

Wilkommen ins Werewolf, not_u!

I'm looking for one more player here folks. Let me know if you're down to kill or be killed!

I'm in!

And so you are my good sir!

Registration is closed.

Awesome!

Since almost all of our players are currently online, we will begin at 1300 EST/1700 GMT. I will post the game thread separately and post a link to it here.

My body is ready...

Once I know what kind of body it is...
