Cool Hunt The RINOs! A Politcs Werewolf Game



Friends,

We control the House, 29 Governors, and soon the Senate, the POTUS, and then the Supreme Court. God is on our side and we live in the greatest country in the history of the world.

I'm here to tell you though, this is no time for complacency. We have enemies; powerful enemies who are a threat to the Christian values the made the GOP the greatest political party ever and the USA the greatest country in the history of the world. I don't mean the Kenyan Muslim Usurper in the White House. Nor do I mean illegal aliens or the other terrorists who hate us for our freedom. No, our existential threat is far more insidious. It's a virus that has invaded our body and is growing, spreading, weakening us. I speak of course of RINOs: claimed Republicans who work for the devils. They alone can prevent us from fulfilling or God-given destiny.

Within this very room I know there are 7 RINOs, quislings plotting against God and Country.

Speak! so that we can see who is true and who is a RINO wimp. Purge them or perish!

It is night. Do not post!

Werewolf Rules
For more details, please see Werewolf Rules And Etiquette
  • As long as the game is ongoing, you may only talk about the game inside the game thread
  • You may only post in the game thread when it is DAY
  • You may only post when you are alive
  • If you have a role which allows you to communicate outside the game thread, then you may do so only when allowed by your role, and only with individuals specified by your role
  • You may not edit or delete posts in the game thread for any reason at any time
  • You may not quote, post screenshots of, or directly refer to private communications from the mod in a way that conveys the specific form or exact composition of the message
  • You are expected to participate
  • You are expected to be familiar with the rules, and you are expected to abide by them even if you think they are incorrect
  • You are expected to behave civilly


Werewolf is a game about lying and catching people lying. It's an adversarial game and arguments between players are normal and expected. Passion and Intensity are fine but excessively personal attacks or insults are not. Even in a werewolf game you must respect the forum rules about civility. Failure to do so may cause you to be infracted or temp banned, and repeated problems may get you perma-banned.

Werewolf is also a community and team-based game. While there are many styles and strategies and reasons for playing and you may choose your own, you are expected to be respectful of the time and energy others put in as players and as moderators. You are expected to play to win. Intentionally sabotaging your team, or choosing strategies with the sole purpose of trolling other players in the game is not allowed.
The Setup

Voting

Each day, each player is allowed (and encouraged) to vote to lynch a player. To do so, type the name of the player in bold; if you want to be sure the moderator sees it, you could be so kind as to write something like "vote: Zurvan", but it is not required.You may abbreviate the name of the player, provided it is clear to other players (and the moderator) whom you mean.

You may remove your vote by posting "unvote". You may change your vote simply by voting the new player; you do not need to unvote.

At the end of the scheduled game day, the player with the most votes is lynched, and his role revealed in the thread. If two or more players are tied for the most votes, one of the tied players is chosen randomly by the moderator.

Each game day ends at the scheduled time; there is no "majority lynch".
Day and Night Times
All times give are server time, which is also Eastern Standard Time.

I will open the thread every morning by posting "It is day." You may not post in the thread until I have made the morning post. Day will usually start at 3:00 AM

Day lasts until 9:00 PM. Posting at 9:00 PM is acceptable, and votes with that time stamp will be counted. Posting after that, even just a minute after, is not acceptable, even if I have not yet declared it night by posting "It is night." Do not post in the thread at any time, for any reason, between the end of the day and the opening of the trhead the next morning.

Weekends are different: There is not "night" Saturday night -- the thread remains open from Saturday morning until Sunday evening. There is no scheduled Saturday night lynch.

Wolf Chat
Wolves may communicate with each other by any means they desire during wolf chat.

Wolves may chat any time except the final hour of each game day (8:00 PM to 9:00 PM)
Questions and Confirmation
Any questions regarding the rules should be submitted to the moderator by PM ONLY. Questions in the thread aren't read.
It is night. Do not post!

Rules and Ettiquette

Any questions about rules, structure, etc., don't hesitate to ask me by PM to Oreos or skype: chipsahoy2p2. I don't generally read the thread so asking questions in posts won't work.

If you won't be available to post for a full game day, send me a PM in advance. If you don't, your team may suffer.

If you have a night action but you might not be around for night, you can send in preliminary or conditional actions at any time. Feel free to change them up until the deadline. If you miss the deadline, send it anyways and it might be accepted.
Regular villager PMs continue with:

Your Night Action:
You have no night action at this time.

Your Win Condition:
You win by eliminating all the wolves. You win as a team, whether you are alive or dead at the end doesn't matter.
Village seer PMs continue with:

Your Role:
You are a seer.

Your Night Action:
Each night you may pick a player to peek and learn which team they are on. On night zero (before the game starts) you may get a peek. That is a 50% random chance. A second PM will tell you if you get a night zero peek or not.

Night Zero Only: If you have a night zero peek and you don't submit it by the deadline, you may submit it within 10 minutes of opening this PM. Do not read the thread before submitting. If you fail to submit in time, a peek will be randomly selected for you from the entire player list.

Every other night you must submit a name to peek or else you don't get one.

Your Win Condition:
You win by eliminating all the wolves. You win as a team, whether you are alive or dead at the end doesn't matter.
Village vigilante PM continues with:

Your Role:
You are a vigilante.

Your Night Action:
Each night starting night one you may pick a player and they will be killed. If you die, this power will be transferred to a random villager.

This power will disappear once there are 13 or fewer players alive.

If you don't submit a name then you won't kill somebody that night.

Your Win Condition:
You win by eliminating all the wolves. You win as a team, whether you are alive or dead at the end doesn't matter.
Wolf PMs continue with:

Your Team Night Actions:
Each night you must pick a player to kill.

I will now rand() the roles and send the PMs. Please do not discuss the game outside of this thread. I'll call day at around 3am. Wait until I say it is day before posting.

Attention curious bystanders:

Some players will drop out of the game. I'd love to have some subs available. If you are interested in being on the substitute list, send me a PM.

Re: Hunt The RINOs! A Politcs Werewolf Game

All I know is that you can type things in bold. I have the "vote" that counts. But yeah, when I used to play this IRL, someone got, uhh, booted from the GOP on the first night so we had something to talk about (personal grudges, whatever). I guess now we're just supposed to speculate wildly and see what sticks? Hey, this IS like the GOP!
