CREDITS AND MODDING

• This game has been designed by Gabethebabe.

During the day you can move by posting in bold red: Move to [Location]. Furthermore, during Night 0, you get to choose your starting location for day 1. If you don't submit a starting location, we will rand one for you.

MOVEMENT RULES:

• You may move only if you haven’t moved the last 30 minutes. So if you moved at 12:37, your next move can be at 13:07.
• If you move before 30 minutes out of your SOD location, you cannot use its location action. If you move to a location during the last 29 minutes of the day, you also cannot use that location action.
• At the start of the day you are in the location where you left the previous day.
• At the start of each day, timing is reset. E.g. you can move at :00 at SOD. You cannot complete a work shift over two days.

We recommend you read the location in the post below. If you are too lazy, at least read the Cliffnotes in this post.

LOCATIONS CLIFFS:

• Hog’s Head. Spend time/money to gain a track, watch or profession peek
• Classroom. Spend time/money to gain a Nightkill for Night 3 and/or 6.
• Kitchen. Buy food. You need to eat one meal/day to remain well-fed.
• Gringotts. Deposit money, withdraw 2 days later with 50% interest. Play the Goblin Lottery.
• Honeydukes. Work 11h, gain 100 Sickles.
• Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Work 9h, gain 0, 60, 100 or 160 Sickles, determined randomly.
• Ollivander's Wand Shop. Work 7h, gain 60 Sickles.
• Ministry of Magic. Spend 3h, choose one action

There are special locations that you cannot move to yourself:

• Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. Night location. Only if you have been invited, have accepted the invitation and paid 10 Sickles for the shelter.
• Azkaban. You don't want to be here. Move out ASAP. The Dementor can put you into Azkaban (you will be informed by PM if this happens to you).

Ollivander's Wand Shop
In the Wand Shop, you can work 7 hours selling wands and gain 60 Sickles.
During a work shift you have 10% to die of exhaustion, if you are starving.

Honeydukes
In Honeydukes, you can work 11 hours selling sweets and gain 100 Sickles.
During a work shift you have 10% to die exhaustion, if you are hungry and 25%, if you are starving.

Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
In Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, you can work 9 hours selling joke stuff. You will earn 0, 60, 100 or 160 Sickles, as determined randomly by the mod. The brothers sometimes pay you with joke money!
During a work shift you have 10% to die of exhaustion, if you are hungry and 25%, if you are starving.

Kitchen
To buy food. Everybody starts this game Well-Fed, but if you fail to eat EOD, your nurturing state will go down one step (Well-Fed -> Hungry -> Starving -> Dead).

• 1x standard meal. 20 Sickles. Prevents your nurturing status from going down at EOD.
• 3x standard meal. 54 Sickles. A special 10% discount offer. Good for 3 days of food.
• 1x Treacle Tart. 25 Sickles. This improves your nurturing status immediately (from Hungry to Well-Fed or from Starving to Hungry). You still need your standard meal at EOD.

Gringotts
To invest your money and to play the Goblin Lottery.

• When you are in Gringotts, you may deposit any even amount of Sickles
• This money will be untouchable for exactly 2 game days.
• After that you may return to Gringotts and withdraw with 50% interest.
• Your money will not grow further, but you can deposit again after withdrawing.
• In Gringotts you can buy Goblin Lottery numbers at 10 Sickles each. At EOD there will be a rand and the winner takes all + 10 additional Sickles.

The Hog’s Head
Spend time/money to try and gain a night action: Track, Watch or Profession Peek.

• While in the Hog's Head, you may PM the mod spending money.
• When you leave the Hog's Head, please PM the mods with an ordered list of the three available night actions (Track, Watch and Profession Peek).
• At the end of every day, night actions are handed out, depending on the amount of paying customers that day:
  • 0-3 customers: Nothing is awarded
  • 4-6 customers: one NA
  • 7-9 customers: two NAs
  • 10 or more customers: all 3 NAs
• Winner(s) will be decided by weighed rand, based on their [Time*Money] spent. Every customer participates in that rand.

The Classroom
In the classroom professor Severus Snape will be teaching Defense against the Dark Arts. The more time you spend and the more school material you buy, the better your chance to learn a killing spell!
While in the Classroom, you may PM the mod spending money.
At the end of day 3 a NK will be rewarded to a player that has visited the Classroom every day 1-3. The winner will be determined by rand and the bigger the sum of your [Time*Money] spent in those 3 days, the better your chances to win.
This process repeats day 4-6. For Night 6 also a NK will be rewarded.

Ministry of Magic
In this slow, bureaucratic office you can perform several actions. Each action takes you 3h to complete. You cannot perform several actions simultaneously.

• New profession. Cost = 0. You randomly receive one of the professions that has been randed out at the start of the game. Your previous profession will be lost forever (this will not be public info). The stock of professions is limited, no profession can enter the game twice.
• LITCUC (LIcense To Cast Unforgivable Curses). Cost = 10 Sickles. If you wish to cast an Unforgivable Curse, you will first need to get a LITCUC.
• Basic Health Insurance. Cost = 10 Sickles. Acquire health insurance for a day of your choice. If you are critically wounded that day and Poppy Pomfrey is alive, she will be forced to treat you that night (unless she chooses to treat another insured player).
• Premium Health Insurance. Cost = 30 Sickles. Acquire a premium health insurance for a day of your choice. If you are critically wounded that day, a medical expert from out of town will heal you.
• Paper Work. You can help with archiving documents and earn 20 Sickles. No player may complete more than one paperwork shift/day.

Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix (HQ)
This is a location that cannot be visited during the day and it will remain open for as long as Kreacher is alive. He shelters people in the HQ to make an extra buck for himself. It is a well guarded safe haven for the guests, unless the guests end up fighting amongst themselves.

• Kreacher gets to invite people (not himself) through the mod to spend the night in the HQ.
• You accept an invitation to the HQ, by paying 10 Sickles to Kreacher.
• The first 4 players that accept will be sheltered that night.
• Sheltered players can only target and be targeted by night actions from other guests, this includes the wolf team NK.
• Kreacher may target anyone in the game and only be targeted from outside the HQ.
• If a player is killed in the HQ during the night, Kreacher will be fined 50 Sickles. If he cannot pay, he will lose all his money and the HQ will close.

Azkaban

• You cannot move to this location, but the Dementor can put you here.
• Azkaban time is simply lost time. You should move ASAP after being allowed to leave.

You can buy spells any time of the day. To be able to cast Unforgivable Curses (AK, Crucio) you need a LITCUC. After buying a spell, you may cast it any day, by sending a PM to the mod with the name of your target. The first and last hour of the day no spells may be cast.

Be aware that the Spelltracker (Albus Dumbledore) will learn about cast AKs (Strength, time and name of the caster).

Spell	Price	Effect
Crucio	80 Sickles	18% critically wound
Very weak AK	80 Sickles	10% kill, 10% critically wound
Weak AK	150 Sickles	20% kill, 20% critically wound
Sectumsempra	200 Sickles	30% kill, can only be cast at night
AK	210 Sickles	30% kill, 30% critically wound
Strong AK	260 Sickles	40% kill, 40% critically wound
Very strong AK	300 Sickles	50% kill, 50% critically wound

• Cannot spend money

• Cannot gain NAs in the Hog's Head or Classroom
• Cannot start working
• Can move

a. Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
b. Ministry of Magic
c. Honeydukes
d. Ollivander's Wand Shop

Correct answer: c. The day has 13 hours and getting a LITCUC costs 3h. Cannot work 11h in Honeydukes

a. Dobby
b. Nearly-Headless Nick

3. A Crucio strategy becomes a valid option for the wolves, if which role is randed to them?
a. Albus Dumbledore
b. Poppy Pomfrey
c. Sirius Black
d. Fenrir Greyback

Correct answer: b. Crucios are quite inefficient, but with Poppy Pomfrey in their ranks at least the wolves know it is unlikely a villager will recover from being critically wounded.


4. The Classroom kill is a double edged knife. What is the biggest problem for the wolves to freely shoot a clear villager?

b. A villager gaining a Track in the Hog's Head
c. A villager gaining a Watch in the Hog's Head

b. A working strategy
c. Hoarding NA's in the Hog's Head and/or Classroom

b. If I get randed Seer, I hope to be Sirius Black, so spells have less % to hit me
c. If I get randed Seer, I hope to be Cornelius Fudge, so I can efficiently buy Health Insurance
d. If I get randed Seer, I hope to be Lucius Malfoy, so I can donate money to peeked villagers

c. Albus Dumbledore
d. Severus Snape

Correct answer: c. Wolves have uses for all abilities, except Dumbledore's. His ability is useless for them. Answer a became illegal with the late minute roleset change.

b. Pay 50 Sickles upon leaving
c. Pay 10 Sickles every hour
d. Doesn't matter at all

Correct answer: c. A decent answer is d and gets you 0.5 point. The best answer is c, due to the ability of the Dementor. To mitigate the impact of his ability on you, the best strategy is to gradually spend your money.

Phase ends in 12h56m.

<Beta v0.1.8>

really happy we have the amount of wolves given to us in the OP. this is the first bigger game weve played where it seems like almost a real WW game, not a kill fest

(those abyss spells really cost us last game, its why i told villagers to play for peeks not kills)

yo, not yet. have you been playing any poker? ive been grinding on black chip poker tournies since the world shut down. players seem bad... but i havent won in those high leverage flips deep in tournies, o well

I'm keeping a spreadsheet of everyone's moves, will share occasionally.

so im working for the next 11 hours to grind out my money, then im gonna get dinner at the kitchen and ill go gringotts and put my money in savings, i think that seems pretty ideal

Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people’s business.

And hi!

Nah, just working a lot and getting the house ready for the upcoming kid
