TWG 208: SIGN-UPS

[Hateandhatred]

Hello fellow FFR TWGers! This is my first time hosting a game, so please be gentle.

This will be an 11 players game in which everyone has power roles. In the voting thread, I gave general information about what kind of roles to expect, but here is the exact private posts players will receive upon game start.

You are THE INSPECTOR, MACHIAS REIGNITZ, son of the Governor. You are TOWN ALIGNED.



You are a bold young man whose morals are governed by effort and rigid lawfulness. Your personal background, in the context of this exercise, will allow you to act with jurisdictional authority and conduct inspections on your fellow classmates.

Every NIGHT, you take it upon yourself to VISIT any housing of your choice and learn of the occupant’s ALIGNMENT.

This character is a traditional cop. Each night, you may PM the host and ask to know the alignment of a player of your choice.
You win when all scum-aligned players are eliminated.
You lose if the character “Millium” is eliminated.

You are THE WIND WARRIOR, GAIUS WORZEL, a proud Nord tribesman. You are TOWN ALIGNED.



ONE OF THE SKILLS you have picked up growing up on the lush Nord Highlands is to understand what the winds can say.

Every morning, the winds will tell you WHO VISITED YOUR LIVING QUARTERS, if such a thing occured. You MUST tell the others about who the winds told you about.

If the winds mention SCUM visitors, ONLY ONE of them will be named.

Of course... You don't have to be tooooooo upfront about it... You can be creative, if you don't want to be outed.

ANOTHER SKILL you have is to simply take matters in your own hands and TARGET THE PLAYER OF YOUR CHOICE in order to ELIMINATE THEM. You can only do this once, however, and if you do, that night, the winds WON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO TELL YOU.

This character is a severely tweaked Emcee/Vigilante. Whenever someone does any action that counts as a “visit” to you, you will be told via PM on the same night. If multiple scum-aligned players “visited” you, you will only know of one.
YOU MUST mention the players you have been messaged about in your first post of the following day. Failure to do so will result in modkill. However, you may be creative in how you decide to mention them if you do not wish to out yourself entirely. All that matters is that you mention the 2 players the PM has mentionned in your first post. The rest is up to you.
Each night, you have the option to target a player and eliminate them. You can only do this once in the game, and on the night this power is used, you do not gain any info if you were visited.
You win when all scum-aligned players are eliminated.
You lose if the character “Millium” is eliminated.

You are THE RADIANT BLADEMASTER'S DAUGHTER, LAURA S. ARSEID, daughter of Viscount Arseid and heir to the Arseid school of swordsmanship. You are TOWN ALIGNED.



Nobody can last a second in a battle against you (among you and your classmates, at least), and your gentle, elegant and honorable demeanor certainly does not dull your blade.

Your warrior instincts will kick in should anyone visit your housing unannounced and I’m afraid that they WILL NOT SURVIVE the encounter.

You are aware of this of course, and you know you might very well hurt your allies should they inadvertently end up in your quarters, so each night, it will be up to you to decide WHETHER OR NOT YOU WILL SLEEP WITH YOUR SWORD. If you don't, you will be vulnerable, but you won't risk killing your friends.

Otherwise, the only way they can get to you is if they come for THE WOMAN BEHIND THE WARRIOR. Or if you're arrested (the rules are the rules, I'm afraid, and it's not like you can actually take on instructor Sara one on one). Unless she's coming to eliminate you, in which case... You can get out of it alive, if you slept with your sword.

Your character is a tweaked grandma. The main differences are that you can be jailed, you can be roleblocked and you can be chosen by the 3rd party player, and you also have the choice whether or not to activate your power.
Each night, you may PM the host “I will sleep with my sword tonight” or “My sword will be locked away for the night. In the former case, any player that will “visit” you will be eliminated, friend or foe. In the latter case, you will be a vanilla town. Failure to PM the host will assume that you are sleeping with your sword.
You win when all scum-aligned players are eliminated.
You lose if the character “Millium” is eliminated.
You are immune to the strongman skill.

You are THE MONARCH, JUSIS ALBAREA, son of Duke Albarea, head of one of the 4 great houses. You are TOWN ALIGNED.



You may not be the only student of royal heritage among your classmates, but you are certainly at the top of the monarch hierarchy here.

You can exert your sovereign birthrights in this town to a small extent : If the people desire it, instead of EXECUTING someone among your classmates, you may instead put someone on house arrest for a round of PRIVATE QUESTIONING with them.

Once the questioning is over, it will be up to you to LET THEM GO or to LET THEM LIVE. They will NOT KNOW who you are.

Make sure to act quickly. You have to arrest and question the person of your choice over the course of THE SAME LYNCH-LESS NIGHT. Your instructor will take care of the arrest, so you don't risk getting harmed in the process.

It would also be wise to use this power to keep MILLIUM out of trouble...

Oh, and one more thing: Just because you had someone put in jail doesn't make you safer. You CAN STILL BE HUNTED.

You are a tweaked Jailor. For as long as you are part of the game, during daytime, you may collectively choose to not lynch any target and instead let you pick a player to confine entirely for the night.
If town instas a target anyway, you do not get to do anything that night.
You will also have the opportunity to have a private chat with this player.
Make sure to decide on who to jail quickly, if you wish to have a chance to interrogate them.
You will also decide their fate (note that you may be roleblocked from eliminating the player, and if you are killed that night, you do not get to eliminate your prisonner).
You may jail on N1, but you will not be able to interrogate or execute anyone (it will act as a soft roleblock). Also, you may not jail the character “Rean” on N1, so if the player you pick is him, they will be unaffected.
The player you jail will not take any action that night, with the exception of the character “Emma”, who can still use her power.
The player you jail will also be kept safe from other players, again with the exception of “Emma”, who can use her power to affect the player you have jailed.
You win when all scum-aligned players are eliminated.
You lose if the character “Millium” is eliminated.

Here is the link to your interrogation chatroom:

You are THE MUSICIAN, ELLIOT CRAIG, an easy-going, fun-loving teenager who ended up in the military due to your father’s influence as General Olaf Craig. You are TOWN ALIGNED.



You have little interest in aggressive tactics and instead would rather spread positive things in the world. Maybe the military marching band would cater more to your personal morals.

Your music can heal, soothe and protect people you think are in need, and you can visit any of your classmates’ housings and keep them company for the night. While you are by their side, NOTHING CAN HAPPEN TO THEM.

Unfortunately, YOU CANNOT SELECT THE SAME HOUSING TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW, so you’ll have to go on a little tour instead. Or TAKE THE NIGHT OFF.

And naturally, you CAN'T SERENADE YOURSELF. I mean, you can. but you'll still be vulnerable.

Your character is a traditional medic. You protect your target from nightkills.
You may not select the same target on consecutive nights.
You cannot protect yourself.
You win when all scum-aligned players are eliminated.
You lose if the character “Millium” is eliminated.

You are THE ALL-KNOWING CHILD, MILLIUM ORION, the newest and most mysterious addition to Class VII. You are TOWN ALIGNED.



You KNOW EVERYTHING about everyone here from the get-go, a little perk from your background as part of the intelligence division of the Imperial Army. But other than that, you're a clumsy little girl, and I'm sorry to say this, but you won't be able to rely on Airgetlam for the duration of this exercise.

You will still take part in it, but you must stay out of trouble at any cost. Your friends will be there to help you, but they'll also be there to get you... And should you fail to stay safe, ALL OF YOUR TEAMMATES WILL FAIL WITH YOU. You have been warned, so take this seriously, MILLIUM.

Your character is a traditional Merlin. You will find the full distribution of roles below.
A special rule for this character is that if you are paired with the 3rd party character, you are not eliminated if he is.
You win when all scum-aligned players are eliminated.
You lose if you are eliminated.

You are THE FOREWOMAN, ALISA REINFORD, daughter of Irina Reinford, chairwoman of the largest heavy industry corporation in the world. You are TOWN ALIGNED.



You are very bossy by nature and you get away with more than you should (thanks to your good looks), as proof that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in your family. This somehow translates to an incredible sense of business and leadership.

In your position, you can restore order in discussion by stepping up and VOIDING EVERYONE’S CONDEMNING VOTE before limiting the options to TWO CLASSMATES OF YOUR CHOICE. Your methods may be questionable, but you can't argue with results. If you intend to do this, please keep in mind that you should give your classmates AT LEAST ONE HOUR just so they can properly assess their now limited options.

You may be a cutie, but you'll only be allowed to pull this off ONCE. I'm sure you would rub people the wrong way a little too much otherwise...

You are a traditional Pollster. Once per game, you can post the image below and every prior vote on that day will be nullified. On top of that, you must also name the two players the lynch vote will be split between.
Even if the character “Jusis” is alive, if you use this power, there cannot be a “No Lynch”, and if there is a tie, it will come down to Knife in the Box. You are therefore guaranteeing one of the two players will be eliminated from the game.
You may only use this power if there is more than an hour left to the day.
Posting the image if you are not the character “Alisa” will result in a modkill.
You win when all scum-aligned players are eliminated.
You lose if the character “Millium” is eliminated.

You are THE PLAYBOY, CROW ARMBRUST, one of the newer additions to class VII. You are SCUM ALIGNED.



You’ve actually been sent back a year to join this class, and even though the academy hoped you would straighten up, it seems you have no interest in doing so.

You may pull your load to help your team win, but all you’re really interested about is what’s under the schoolgirls’ uniforms, and that just about sums up your plans for the exercise. Heck, you’ll even hook up with the guys if it can help you pass the time. And you know you are sly enough to pull off the seduction with any of these impressionable chumps.

EACH NIGHT, you can convince anyone you want to come spend the night with you. They’ll be BLOCKED from doing anything else they might have planned on that night...

Also, your team can ask me to help you taking out a target of your choice. They can't do anything to stop me, of course, but I'LL ONLY DO THIS ONCE, so use this advantage wisely.

You are a tweaked hooker/roleblocker. You affect any character, with the exception of “Rean”. The character “Jusis” will still be able to jail and interrogate, but not execute.
To use your power, simply tell the host via PM or via team discord.
Your team has a single strongman hit (bypasses jailor and medic).
You win if the character “Millium” is eliminated.
You lose if you and all of your teammates are eliminated.

Here is the invite link to your team's discord:

You are THE JAEGER SENTINEL, FIE CLAUSSELL, a former child soldier. You are SCUM ALIGNED.



Being raised on the battlefield has sharpened all of your senses. It’s probably why you feel so cat-like.

This is why you know from experience when your cover is blown. And that fool MACHIAS doesn’t have a chance at investigating you or your teammates without you noticing. You will sort of act as a captain to them, since you are the most experienced in covert operations like this.

If he tries, YOU WILL KNOW WHO WAS INVESTIGATED.

On top of this passive ability, as captain, you have the ability to take someone out extra clean. If it ISN'T MILLIUM, you can DELAY A VICTIM'S CARDFLIP BY A DAY. You may also use this power to COVER THE IDENTITY OF YOU OR ONE OF YOUR PARTNERS for an extra day as well.

Also, your team can ask me to help you taking out a target of your choice. They can't do anything to stop me, of course, but I'LL ONLY DO THIS ONCE, so use this advantage wisely.

You are a severely tweaked informant. When “Machias” investigates you or one of your partners, you will be messaged about the fact.
Additionally, any nightkill you perform yourself will delay the cardflip until the following day.
You may also use this power on a teammate. If they are lynched on the following day, their cardflip won't happen until the next day.
You may also use this power on yourself. This will work even if you are jailed.
To use your power, simply tell the host via PM or via team discord.
Your team has a single strongman hit (bypasses jailor and medic).
You win if the character “Millium” is eliminated.
You lose if you and all of your teammates are eliminated.

Here is the invite link to your team's discord:

You are THE WITCH, EMMA MILLSTEIN, ace student with a supernatural background. You are SCUM ALIGNED.



You appear shy and bashful, but that is merely a ruse to conceal your origins. Instructor Sara knows you have special powers.

She won’t let you use all of them, but she’ll let you use at least one of your tricks : you can TARGET SOMEONE AT NIGHT and they will have to DECLARE THEIR IDENTITY IN THE FIRST POST OF THE FOLLOWING DAY. We can call this "hypnotism", but Instructor Sara knows what you’re really doing here...

Oh, and by the way... You only get to use your powers TWICE, AND NOT CONSECUTIVELY. We don't want to make it too easy for you! On the flipside, unlike your fellow wolves, if you eliminate an opponent yourself, you CAN STILL CAST YOUR CURSE ON A DIFFERENT TARGET. Also, DON'T USE IT ON THE FIRST NIGHT.

Oh, and one last thing. You CANNOT USE IT ON THE FIRST NIGHT.

Also, your team can ask me to help you taking out a target of your choice. They can't do anything to stop me, of course, but I'LL ONLY DO THIS ONCE, so use this advantage wisely.

You are a tweaked mesmer. You may select a target, and this target will have to reveal their rolled character immediately on the next day.
You may only use your power twice, but it bypasses the powers of both the characters “Elliot” and “Laura”.
You cannot use your power on N1. You cannot use your power on consecutive nights. The earliest you can use your two shots are once on N2 and once on N4.
Additionally, even if you perform the nightkill, you may still use this power on a different target, which is a trait unique to you.
To use your power, simply tell the host via PM or via team discord.
Your team has a single strongman hit (bypasses jailor and medic).
You win if the character “Millium” is eliminated.
You lose if all of your teammates are eliminated.

Here is the invite link to your team's discord:

You are THE PROTAGONIST, REAN SCHWARZER. You are a THIRD PARTY FACTION.



Why are you here, Rean? Instructor Sara told you, you are to observe this exercise and not take part in it. This is your duty.

Or is it? Maybe you have SOMETHING ELSE on your mind. And come to think of it, you always tend to butt in other people’s business. It’s just the kind of person you are.

What makes you special is the bonds you share with your classmates, after all. Maybe it’s not right to keep you on the sidelines…

Here’s the deal. I will allow you to participate, but you WON’T BE ALIGNED WITH EITHER TEAM. Instead, you will pick the housing of WHOEVER YOU WANT and team up with them to help them make it through this exercise unscathed. THEY WILL KNOW ABOUT THIS, of course.

If either of you two falls, it’s game over.

You are a tweaked Lover. You have to select a player on N1 (you will need to message the host the name of the player via PM), and you will be paired with them for what remains of the game.
Failure to do so will result in modkill.
Your fate and your partner's will be tied. If one is eliminated, so is the other.
If your partner is “Millium”, then they won't be eliminated if you are.
You win if you and your partner are alive at the end of the game.
You lose if either you or your partner is eliminated.

Here is the invite link to your team's discord server:

It goes without saying that this is a tremendous amount of information to learn and memorize just for one game of werewolf. You obviously will not be asked to do that, and in fact here's a compact TLDR paragraph that explains every single role dynamic in this game concept. You are free to refer to it and discuss it as much as you want through the game (and I encourage you to).

Machias: Checks alignment. Dies if visits armed Laura.
Gaius: Watches himself every night and MUST name the player he was informed about in the first post of the next day. Has a one-shot vigilante bullet (vulnerable to Laura), doing it cancels emcee powers for the night.
Laura: Eliminates anyone who visits at night (except Crow (if he's seducing only) and Rean, as well as Jusis) if she chooses to sleep with her sword. Immune to strongman kill (if her power is active).
Jusis: Can jail if there is no lynch. During the night, can anonymously question the player before deciding their fate. If he is killed or roleblocked, the jailing still happens, but the killing is cancelled.
Elliot: Protects the target (or dies to Laura). Cannot select the same target twice in a row. Cannot protect himself.
Millium: Knows everyone's precise flip, taking her out wins the game for scum.
Alisa: Can force unvote everyone and thunderdome the two players of her choice. (1 shot only)
Crow: Roleblocks the target (including Laura, but not Rean).
Fie: Knows if any scum-aligned player has been alignment checked by Machias. If she performs the kill, delays cardflip by a day (except Millium). May instead conceal a teammate's death (or her own) for a day.
Emma: Forces a player to state their identity on the next day. This does not count as visiting. (2 shots only, not on consecutive nights, not on N1)
Rean: Partners with another player of his choice and they both must survive until endgame to win (He joins the alignment of the chosen player as far as player count/alignment checking is concerned). One thing to mention: If Rean partners with Millium, Millium stays in the game if Rean is eliminated.
Scum team: Has a single strongman hit (ignores all nightkill protection).

While designing this game and making changes to ensure that it is balanced and viable, I went and gathered several opinions about it. There seemed to be one main misconception, so I will clarify it: You all need to be extremely careful about mass claiming and the role of this Jailor in this game. His protection is not meant to stack with the Medic very well. If you want the jailor to protect someone, you collectively need to decide not to lynch someone during the day. If you still decide to mass claim at some point in the game and lose because you misunderstood the mechanics in place, I don't want this to be on me, so I'm making it clear here.

Other Game info:

- Game starts on D1.
- “No Lynch” is ON, but only IF the Jailor is alive. Also, until the jailor is removed from the game, lynches MUST be insta. "Having the most votes" will not result in a lynch.
- If the Jailor is removed from the game, No Lynch is OFF, insta remains ON and knife in the box is ON as well.
- Out of thread communication (outside of specific role perks) is forbidden.
- 48 hours day phases, 24 hours night phases.
- Failure to commit to some role duties may result in modkills.
- Fake claiming, even pretending to follow host and role instructions, is a legal move.
- Minimum posting will be enforced (no less than ~5 game relevant posts per day)
- All 3 scum-aligned players can use their powers during the night, including the one performing the kill.
- Scum-aligned players can stack powers onto the same target.
- The nightkiller can only use his skill onto the person he is killing.
- All other standard FFR TWG rules apply.
- The scum team gets an a single-use strongman hit (ignores whatever prevents the kill).

Win conditions:
- Town wins if all scum are removed from the game (or nothing can prevent it).
- Scum wins if the merlin is taken down.
- Lover wins if they are alive with their partner at the end of the game.
- If the last scum player is eliminated on the same night as the Merlin, this results in a draw.

I've asked The Sun Fan to assist me with the hosting of this game, should it ever be necessary. The game will start within a few days (could be immediately after, but I am flexible) after the roster is complete and that there are at least 3 player reserves, although ideally I would want more reserves than this.

- Players -

If you have any question, comment, suggestion or anything, I would appreciate if you did it before the game starts.

**Important change**

A way to solve the game way too early was found, so the scum team was given a single strongman hit. Sorry about that!

Sorry if any of this is already addressed in the text-

Is the interrogation chatroom through a website? Or discord? How will the anonymity work?

Text within Rean's message says "You win if you and your partner are alive at the end of the day."
1. Do you mean end of the game with the above?
2. If Rean's partner was town (but not Milium) to begin with and then the wolves meet their condition to win because they eliminate Millium, is Rean considered to have survived still? Who are the winners of the game in this situation?
3. Does the partner of Rean's alignment change?
4. What mod message does Rean's partner receive on N1?

Thank you for your questions! I'll see if I can change things in my op to clarify some of this, but for now I'll just answer everything.

I've been browsing temporary chatrooms while designing this game. I have a few saved tabs of free websites that offer random anonymous chats. I haven't decided which I'll use yet since I made this game months ago, but yeah, it won't be discord for obvious reasons.

as for rean:

1. End of game, with the above. The one exception is if the game is solved and considered over. Even if his partner is still alive, if the game's solution involves an inevitable lynch of his partner, then he is considered lost. I'll edit the post, this is a lapsus while typing, I did mean end of game.
2. Rean wins even if town loses, so long as he and his partner don't die before the end of the game. His partner doesn't share his win con, they lose the game alongside town.
3. Rean's partner is relatively unaffected by being picked, other than getting to know they were picked and sharing the same fate (unless it's Millium, who doesn't really get anything from it). However, Rean's "cop check" does change to whatever his partner is. I know this isn't part of what you asked, but figured I should mention it.
4. I have a set of private messages meant to be sent to players during night phases, including the lover ones. I haven't included them because it's mostly flavor, but I'll just be messaging everyone involved directly (either me or sunfan if I can't for some reason)

Feel free to ask if there's anything else you'd like me to precise further.

[Lightknight924]

This seems kinda fun I don't have high hopes for myself but In anyways.

[star-crossed]

Can you give more information about what the person who is targeted by Emma's power exactly has to do? I am having trouble understanding why it is useful to Emma as written

[Hateandhatred]

Oh fuck, my bad. I meant they have to declare who they are specifically, not their alignment. Sorry! I will edit that.

I didn't perform very well in the latter half of the last game because of the moving situation, but I'm pretty much settled in now! I might not have as much time to check the thread because I still need to help my parents with stuff, but that's probably fine

I see a lot of familiar names! looking forward to playing with you all c:
