The Nonary Werewolf Games

Hello? I know you can hear me now. I know you don’t know me, but I need to tell you about this universe. Well, that’s not quite right. Universes would be more accurate.

I know the many Nonary Games have left you with a shock, and you may not know what I mean now, but I really must emphasize that any reality can occur. Even though you may be familiar with a few universes, we will never know which one we are in until you open the box. Who will be alive or dead? Do we exist in an infinite state of both? It’s time to take a look inside.

Setup Information
The Nonary Werewolf Games is a semi-open setup for 9 players. Unlike most semi-open setups, The Nonary Werewolf Games has an incredibly high number of iterations.

Here is how The Nonary Werewolf Games is rolled:
-First, a row or column is determined. The host will roll a number 1-6 to determine if the setup is comprised of one of the three games (rolls 1-3) or one of the three states of Dimensional Flux (4-6).

-Dimensional Fluxes occur when universes collide and personalities from each game are misplaced. There are no duplicate participants in Dimensional Fluxes.
-After a row or column has been determined, the host rolls each player a character.
-After characters have been determined, the host rolls alignment. Here is the alignment distribution:
-2 Town Power Roles
-2 Wolf Power Roles
-5 Vanilla Town
-One town power role and one wolf power role will be permanent abilities. Permanent abilities can be used every night.
-One town power role and one wolf power role will be one-shot abilities. One-shot abilities, as the name implies, can only be used once per game.
-All abilities are based off of which character has been rolled. Refer to the chart below to see each characters’ abilities for either alignment.

-The four players rolled as power roles will be informed of their character and their ability (permanent or one-shot).
-The five players rolled as Vanilla Town will only be told that they are Vanilla Town and not which character they are.
-Any character that has been rolled as Vanilla Town will be name flipped upon death.

Power Roles

With only a few exceptions, powers can be rolled as either alignment within this setup. Below are the power roles in convenient alphabetical order.

Accuser: At night, a target of your choice will show up to the night kill and show up as red if checked by the Colour Cop.
Note: You may not choose the same target two nights in a row.

Brainshocker: At night, a target of your choice will have any abilities they use carried out on themselves (i.e. a Cop will instead check themself).
Note: You may not choose the same target two nights in a row.

Bus Driver: At night, select two targets. Any action placed on one target will instead be applied to the other and vice-verse.

Colour Cop: At night, select a target. You will receive a report in the morning with the colour of your target. Reports will be in this format:

In the night, you discover [Target] is [green/blue/red].

Coverup: At night, select a target. Target player will be untrackable/unwatchable and show up as green to the colour cop.
Note: You may not choose the same target two nights in a row.

Doctor: At night, select a target to prevent a single kill attempt during the night.
Note: You may not choose the same target two nights in a row.

Friendly Neighbour (1-shot only, alternate of Innocent Child): At night, select a target. In the morning, they will receive the following report:

[User] is a Friendly Neighbour. Howdy!

Gunsmith: At night, select a target to give them a gun. The recipient of the gun can use it to kill another player at any time during the next day phase by sending a message to the host with their target.
These guns are brittle and will disintegrate if not used by the end of the day phase.
The recipient will get the following report:

You have received a gun! You may fire the gun at any player of your choice once during this day phase, killing them. Message the host your target.
You find a small inscription on the barrel of the gun: Will disintegrate if not used by the end of the day phase. You’ve been warned!

Innocent Child (permanent only, alternate of Friendly Neighbour): At any time during the day, you may post the following image in the spoiler below.

The host will confirm you as the Innocent Child to the whole thread upon seeing the image. Anybody else that pastes this image will be instantly modkilled and probably face punishment.

Interceptor: At night, select a target to receive any reports sent to them.
Reports will be in the following format:

[Target] received the following report: [Report]

OR

[Target] did not receive any reports.

Note: This role cannot exist in a setup without reports.

Jailkeeper: At night, select a target to roleblock (prevent from doing a night action) and prevent them from dying.
Note: You may not choose the same target two nights in a row.

Light Sleeper: At night, any actions carried out on you will be revealed to you, but not the user of the power. Reports will be in the following format:

In the night, you have been:
[Bus driven/Colour checked/Doctored/Friendly Neighboured/Gunned/Name checked/Tracked/Watched].

Note: You will not be notified of jailkeeping actions.

Name Cop: At night, pick a target to learn the name of their character. Reports will be in the following format:

In the night, you discover [Target] is [Name].

Roleblocker: At night, select a target. That target cannot perform their role ability that night. Any role that receives a report from the host as a part of their action will be informed of any role blocking that occurs. They will receive this message:

You have been roleblocked!

Note: You may not choose the same target two nights in a row.

Role Cop: At night, select a target. In the morning, you will receive a report on the role they possess, but not how many charges of that ability. Reports will be in the following format:

In the night, you discover [Target] is a/an [Bus Driver/Colour Cop/Doctor/Friendly Neighbour/Gunsmith/Jailkeeper/Name Cop/Tracker/Vanilla Town/Vigilante/Watcher].

Strongman: At night, select a target. Any killing action on that target will pierce any protective abilities.
Note: You may not choose the same target two nights in a row.

Tracker: At night, select a target. In the morning, you will receive a report telling you any and all players your target visited in the night. Reports will be in the following format:

In the night, you discover that [Target] visited [Player/nobody].

Vigilante: At night, select a target to kill. Bang!

Watcher: At night, select a target. In the morning, you will receive a report telling you any and all players that visited your target. Reports will be in the following format:

In the night, you discover that [Player(s)/nobody] visited [Target].

Power FAQ and Notes
-Powers follow Natural Action Resolution.
-Any role that receives a report from the host as a part of their action will be informed of any role blocking that occurs. The report will show up as:

You have been roleblocked!

-Accuser, Brainshocker, Coverup, Doctor, Jailkeeper, Roleblocker, and Strongman cannot target the same player twice.
-The Interceptor role cannot exist in a setup that does not generate any reports.
-The Light Sleeper role will not be informed if they are jailkept.
-A player can visit multiple targets in one night. A player under the affect of the Accuser power will carry out their normal action (if any) and visit the night kill.
-Any investigative action that is redirected will be informed on the redirected player. (i.e. Colour Cop C checks Wolf W, but they are redirected. Colour Cop C will receive the report "Colour Cop C is [Blue]").
-Wolves must designate which member is carrying out the night kill. A wolf can use their power and carry out the kill at the same time.
-There is a guide to follow when a bus driver drives another bus driver, but hopefully we won’t get into that situation. sunfan made a post breaking this down, I believe.

Same, also gotta get hype to play the champs game, I haven't played in so long I'm gonna be rusty...

[Hakulyte]

Hello! I am here. Gonna state a few obvious things.

This is a setup that solves by itself the more we see flips.
There shouldn't be any reason to talk about setup stuff until next phase.

I've been on the edge for staying in this game due to work.
I don't work tomorrow thanks to Easter, but it's definitely going to affect my activity. So, let's try to make it count.

If anyone else will struggle with time for any reasons, I think it would be cool to know now.
It might help organize the game to have the right interactions at the right time.

That's pretty much all I have in mind for now.
It's been a while.

I MIGHT struggle with time... I'll be around mostly at night as usual, unless work decides "Oh hey Lewdy you're training someone for the next while...Oh, you didn't know? Too bad, you're doing it anyway!" Like they did a couple weeks back.

'tis a perfect time to unrust with this game

[T-Force]

Popping now to say:
- I will be available for EoDs, but only a handful of hours. Work will have me home between 5 and 7 PM server time, and more often than not, it's the latter.

- I will not be checking the game while at work. Not enough time to do so, and focus needs to be on getting my stuff done before I can have the fun.

- If anyone decides to sus me for activity despite these, I will assume you did not read this post, ergo didn't read any other post this game, and thus, bad.

That is all.

Zero sux.
