POG Werewolf Rules

For more details, please see Werewolf Rules And Etiquette

• As long as the game is ongoing, you may talk about the game only inside the game thread
• You may post in the game thread only when it is DAY
• You may post only when you are alive
• You may not edit or delete posts in the game thread for any reason at any time
• You may not post screenshots of, or directly quote your role PM, seer peeks, or any other game-related communication that originated outside of the game thread
• 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.

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. You may abbreviate the name of the player, provided it is clear to other players (and the VOTE COUNTER) 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 before voting again.

At the given time for lynch, 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 on any day unless the game is at must lynch.

At Must Lynch (where if a villager is lynched the game is over) votes will be LOCKED IN. There will be no unvoting or vote changing. Make sure to vote wisely!

Day and Night Times

All times given are server time, which is also Eastern Daylight Time.

Start of Day: Day will usually start around 7:00 AM.

End of Day: Day lasts until 9:00 PM . The thread will close for one hour, and be re-opened at 10:00 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 thread the next hour.

Night Actions

All night actions are due by 6:00 AM. Any death scene(s) will be announced when day starts at 7:00 AM.

There are true Night 0 actions.

Wolf Chat

Wolves may communicate with each other by any means they desire during wolf chat. Wolves have 24 hour chat starting with the receipt of their Role PMs. You must add me (the moderator) to any and all chats.

Questions and Confirmation

Any questions regarding the rules should be submitted to me by PM ONLY.

Must Lynch

There will be must lynch in this game. Once you vote, your vote is locked, and you may not switch or unvote.

Basic Setup

13 of you are Minor Characters who vie for the spotlight (villagers)

4 of you are the Main Cast and make millions per year (wolves)

1 of you is a Traitor who thinks he deserves it more (hidden wolf)

1 of you is Larry David and can tell the difference (full seer)

Traitor Mechanics

Traitor: you are a wolf, with a wolf win condition. However, you are not armed with the knowledge of who your partners are, and they don't know you.

The wolves have ONE flip request at night to find the traitor. This request may be used as long as the Traitor lives. IF CORRECT, the Traitor joins the wolfchat as a vanilla wolf. IF INCORRECT, the chosen player will learn who the traitor is.

If the Traitor outlives the wolf team, he inherits the factional kill.

Wolf Setup

Wolf Roleblocker (N0+)
Wolf Odd-Night Vigilante (N1+)
Wolf Even-Night Vigilante (N2+)
Wolf Vanilla
Wolf Traitor (Hidden Wolf)

Village Setup

Village Full Seer (N0+)
Village Jailkeeper (N1+)
Village Odd-Night Vigilante (N1+)
Village Even-Night Vigilante (N2+)
10 Vanillagers

General Mechanics

• Odd-Night Vigilante means the user could shoot on N1 and N3, N1 and N5, etc. The Even-Night Vigilante operates in the same fashion.
• A Jailkeeper removes a target from the game during the night used. The jailed target can neither target others, nor be targeted by others. In this manner it is both offensive and defensive.
• When there is only one wolf remaining, the jailkeeper can block the factional wolf kill if the final wolf is jailed.
• If the last remaining wolf is a vigilante with a remaining shot, he can perform both a vigilante kill and the factional kill on the same night.
• Players are not specifically informed if they are roleblocked or jailed. For example, the Full Seer may receive [No Result] if jailed, roleblocked, or if targeting a jailed player.
• The Wolf Roleblocker supersedes the Village Jailkeeper.

Activity Requirement

Since we have willing and able substitute players, I will be enforcing an activity requirement. On D1 and D2, for each post you make, you reduce your chance of being replaced by 5%. Make 20 posts, you're fine. Make 10, you have a 50% change of being replaced; make 5, you have a 75% chance of being replaced.

If you feel you must leave the game due to time constraints, please PM me and I will arrange for your replacement.

Character Claiming

Character claiming is not allowed under any circumstances. You may not hint at or claim your character, and may not speculate as to the characters of others or which characters fit which roles. This is to prevent game breaking attempts. Any player breaking this rule will be modkilled.

Role Claiming

You may hint at or claim a role: e.g.. vanillager, vigilante, jailkeeper, seer. As usual, role PMs may not be quoted. Role PMs will be posted in full for death scenes.

All Role PMs have been sent. If you believe you have not received yours, PM me ASAP. Do not post before receiving your PM.

Any N0 Actions are due to me by 6:00 AM EDT.

Thread will open with Day 1 at 7:00 AM EDT. End of Day 1 will be at 9:00 PM EDT.

I strongly suggest you read the OP thoroughly as there are unique mechanics and rules which may result in your replacement or removal by modkill.

The series was wildly successful. 68 emmy nominations, 10 wins, tens of millions of viewers per episode; Jerry was even offered $5 million per episode to continue with a tenth season. The fame and fortune was overwhelming. But Seinfeld wouldn't be Seinfeld without its supporting cast -- those iconic characters that are oft quoted even today. Sure, Jerry could be funny, but they wanted a bigger slice of the pie. They thought it was their time to shine.

Welcome to Seinfeld Werewolf!



Add'l notes on character claiming: hinting at or claiming your character is not allowed, but I do expect some general banter about the series or timely mentioning of famous catch phrases from the show. You may discuss the show as long as such discussion is not intended to be a "breadcrumb" -- for example, if someone angrily said "NEWMAN!", that player could not later quote the post and suggest they were Jerry Seinfeld. Use your judgment. If in doubt, don't test the rule.

It is Day 1! You may post.

Frist

I'm a villager

Playing golf this morning.

See y'all later on

Second

Lil rascal made it. Sup bro

Your day sounds better than mine.

Not much, checking in before heading into work.

Seems awfully quiet in here. This may be the only time I'll be able to keep up with reading the thread.

Work sponsored tournament. Can't beat a day off on the golf course. Looking forward to it.

A day at the golf course and getting paid to be there doesn't get much better.

Yeah I don't think I've ever been first to post in bigger game. Kinda proud of that for some reason

Indeed.

Yeah, I've always seen it go crazy at the beginning. I'm surprised at the lack of posts at this point.

Sup people

Morning killer

I worked at a really nice golf course one summer and I literally went like 4 times cause we had to walk. I'm legit WOAT golfer too lol.

What's up Rascal? I don't think we've played together have we?

I never really got into golfing enough to be even decent. I cracked 100 I think only once. But only playing once every 2-3 months and not going to the range didn't help,y game.

I don't think so I haven't played much, mainly mish-mashes and one slow game and one turbo.

having a gimmick is hard

That's cool. I've never done one of these with the weird roles and stuff. Got some people I've never played with too so it should be exciting.

In b4 Rawrs thinks me being casual is wolfy.
