POG 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 - DON'T DEAD POST, ANY DEAD POSTS WILL LEAD TO SEVERE PUNISHMENT TO YOUR TEAM
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

There is no post restriction, but please be sensible

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

This is a mishmash, so it's a secret I'll reveal some stuff in later posts. Here is the village win condition though:

Quote:

You are a Villager. You win the game by eliminating the wolves and, if they should exist, any other threats.

Do not talk about PMs in the thread. If you have not received your role, please PM me as soon as possible.

There are some n0 actions

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.

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 7:00 AM

Day lasts until 9:00 PM. Posting at 9:00 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 thead the next morning.

This includes weekends!

Wolf Chat

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

The wolf team has 24 hour chat.

Notes:

Three Kingdoms

Yes, this is a game based on the three kingdoms era, that said, there aren't "three equal factions" or anything. It's still primarily villagers vs. wolves. So, here is how the kingdoms/forces correlate:

Wei = Wolves
Wu = Village
Shu = Village
Other? = ???

So basically it doesn't really matter whether you're from Wu or Shu, aside from for flavour purposes.

Deadposting/Deadchatting

There is an absolute zero tolerance policy for this. Once you die, you can't deadpost (not even a 'gl villa' post), and you can't discuss the game with other dead players/live players/anyone at all. I know this sounds strict, but there may be certain mechanics in place that makes upholding this rule of the utmost. I will be punishing any transgressions severely.

Duels

Every day starting from day 2, there will be duels that run at 6PM EST. In order to participate in a duel, before 5PM EST you must bold red 'challenge [playername]' and then also PM me with who you've challenged. You may only challenge one player per day, so choose wisely. If you wish to accept the duel you must bold red 'accept [playername]'s challenge' and also PM me with the relevant info.

Be warned, you can get forced into duels against your will.
I'll probably run a few practice duels on day 1.

The Setup

Rules:

As the more perceptive amongst you may have noticed, in your role PM you received a few 'stats': War, IQ and HP. These are all vital to dueling.

War: A measure of your physical strength/co-ordination/ability
IQ: A measure of your intelligence/cunning
HP: Hit Points

In the duel itself:

You have four different 'attacks': Normal, Strong, Feint and Confusion

Normal: Just your everyday run-of-the-mill hit
Strong: Deals twice as much damage, half as likely to hit - choosing this attack will make you more vulnerable to normal attacks
Feint: Does a little less damage than normal, but you have a 50% chance of your opponents attack not working next turn. You always act second
Confusion: Convince your opponent to hit themselves. You always act first, choosing this attack and failing will make you more vulnerable to all other attacks.

There is a chance of landing a 'critical hit' which does more damage, obviously.

Your War stat is primarily used to calculate normal and strong attacks, your IQ stat is primarily used to calculate feint and confusion attacks.

At any point in the duel you may decide to flee, with a (IQ/2+25)% chance of success, however if you fail you will be cut down from behind and die.

You die when your HP reaches zero (I know, shocking right)

It's a duel of infinite rounds, you either win or you die (or you flee I guess :P ). Each round please PM me your choice of action.

But wait, what if I'm not around?

Never fear my friend. From as early on as now onwards, you can send me a PM with your preferred attack pattern, and it can pretty much be as simple or complex as you wish (eg. Use Strong attack until enemy is <half HP, then use normal, flee when own HP is <20 assuming opponents is still >40 --- eg. Alternate between feint and strong attacks, never flee) etc.

If you don't PM instructions and you're afk the mods will only use normal attacks and you'll flee at <25% HP - so it's important you submit if you anticipate being away. Remember that you can be forced into duels against your will.

Items

There are also some items floating around in the game. These items are Swords, Armour, Scrolls and Horses.

Swords: Will increase your War stat by 3 (unless otherwise stated), swords also increase your chance of performing a critical hit
Armour: Will increase your HP stat by 30 (unless otherwise stated)
Scrolls: Will increase your IQ stat by 3 (unless otherwise stated)
Horses: Will increase the likelihood of you successfully fleeing a duel by 10% (unless otherwise stated)

In general, items are non-transferable. However if you kill someone, you will inherit any items they carried

On Claiming

You may claim your role/powers
You may claim your name

However I advise against it because there are anti-claim mechanisms in place and it may not be pretty. Claim at your own risk

Night/Day

In case you missed it in the first post:

Day will generally be called at 7AM EST
Night will fall at 9PM EST

Day 1 will begin at 8AM on the 4th of September EST

Question: If someone dies via wolf team kill, do their items go to the wolves?
Answer: No.

Please read the rules on dueling and items in detail and ask me any questions via PM. It'll be much much easier for me to answer questions/clarify the rules now rather than while the game is running. Thanks.

captain binkles · 09-04-2012, 03:39 AM

Question: If you lose HP from one duel, is it still lost in your next duel?
Answer: No, it goes back to 'full' between duels

Question: Do others know what my War/IQ/HP stats are?
Answer: No

Question: If you duel someone is going to die unless one of the duelists successfully escapes, correct?
Answer: Correct

Also, please only use bold red text when you challenging or accepting a duel

---

So I've received a few PMs about dueling, but not too many. Either you guys are all really smart of just tl;dr'd it, I'm hoping for the former :P

Anyway, here is hopefully a more concise explanation of dueling.

There are three main stats, War, IQ and HP.

HP is basically how many attacks you can withstand (so your attacks will generally reduce someone's HP by 'x', once it reaches 0, you're dead).

War is your strength/fighting prowess, this will generally determine how strong/accurate your attacks are. This will be a number between 1-100.

IQ is how smart you are, this will generally determine how able you are to do tricky things. This will be a number between 1-100.

Action	Benefit	Drawback	Mainly Requires
Normal Attack	N/A	N/A	War
Strong Attack	Twice as much damage done	Half as accurate - you are also more susceptible to normal attacks	War
Feint	50% chance your opponent can't act next round	Less damage than a normal attack	IQ
Confusion	Your opponent hits themselves instead of you	If it fails you are more susceptible to all other attacks	IQ
Flee	If successful you run away and avoid death	If it fails you will automatically die	IQ/2+25

The duel compromises a number of rounds, where you will choose one of the actions in the table above (via PM to me), and so will your opponent. You will each hit (or miss) to do damage which will reduce your HP.

If your HP reaches 0 first, you will die. If theirs does, they will die.

You, or your opponent, can flee at any point, but because failure leads to instant death, it's recommended that you only use it as a last resort.

If you think you won't be around at 6PM EST, please PM me with a dueling plan. Remember there is a chance that you end up dueling even if you don't challenge/accept in the thread.

Also remember that there are no real duels on d1, I might run some practice duels.

The thread should open in a little over 4 hours, get excited
