    Okay, I ran into this RP-esque thing on another forum. It was a tradition there that there was always a game of this running, so I am sure they would not mind if I stole/borrowed the concept.

    This follows all of the normal rules of the RP board. The game works best if you try to get IC (Actually empathize with your character).

    There is a limited number of spaces for this game. Only twenty slots. First come, first served.

    The shell of the story goes like this:
    You are all enclosed in an area. Two of you are werewolves. Every night, one person is killed by the wolves, one person is able to be protected and one person is killed by a silver bullet.

    I have decided to do the traditional one.

    The Village you live in is out of the way, in a dense part of the wood. You get by on your own resources, only meeting the outside world every two years. The village is a small gathering of around twenty people, as the self-providing life is not for everyone. Because the population is so small, everyone lives and sleeps in a communal house.
    Everything was continuing as normal, when one day a lone man in a tattered rag came out of the surrounding woods seeking shelter.

    Due to the great effort needed in crossing the forest, the village granted him sanctuary, secretly hoping that the stranger might stay. The man was a hard worker. Despite having traveled the woods, he put more effort into the harvest than the strongest in the village.

    That night, a noise awoke the village from its slumber. A howl echoed around the pitch black house, shaking all awake. A wolf was in the place of the stranger. It made to attack a man, but was engaged by the rest of the village. A ferocious brawl ensued, everyone attacking the beast. More often than not a blow would hit another village member, due to the lack of light. Despite the accuracy, the creature was soon dead. Everyone went back to bed, resolved to discuss the events in the morning, when they could see each other's faces.

    The morning brought much discussion about the wolf. It was agreed that it was the only one, and in future they would be more careful. Then the body of the wolf was examined, and a terrifying discovery was made. There was blood on the wolf's teeth. It was pointless checking for wounds, as during the fight many stray blows caused everyone to have a scar.

    The village Elder has brought forward a solution. Every night, one of their own would be killed by vote, until finally the village would be cleansed. The method of death would be a silver bullet from the village's most sacred weapon.
    Likewise, the killer would also be nominated. He would shoot the suspected werewolf, and no werewolf would dare to attack him because of the weapon.

    This is where you are now. The elder (Me) has just announced his wise choice.

    _________________________________________________________


    Rules:

    Every night you make a vote for who should be killed, and who should be protected. You may not vote for yourself on either of these, although werewolves may vote for each other.
    Every night, the werewolves will tell me via PM who they wish to kill. It must be a joint decision. They are then allowed to RP it via PM to me so their identity remains undisclosed. I will then PM the killed to see if they wish to have their character do anything, etc. I will then post it in the thread.
    Each voting period will take two days maximum (Although if all the votes are in, we will go sooner)
    Please do not join if you know you are unable to participate within the alloted time.
    No killing outside the gun and werewolf attack.
    Feel free to Role play, (Have your character run, whatever) but if (s)he is chosen (by wolves or the gun) then (s)he has to die.
    Once you die, you are gone. If you want, you can have a few posts as a ghost.
    No revealing the werewolves, please. If one wolf dies, be mature and do not ruin the game.
    No killing the elder (me) he is immune to all types of death, as he did not join in the attack on the werewolf, and he is under too strong protection.

    I will choose the wolves somehow... Perhaps a 20 sided dice, or maybe a japanese ladder chart.

    Oh, and the aim of the game for the wolves is to kill everyone, the village is to kill both wolves.

    Okay, anything I have missed? Ought to be fun!
