[Werewolf Varient] Long live the Soviet!

Post by CSL »

Welcome to the Soviet Union Comrades! Our glorious leader Stalin has declared that traitors are rife within the country, and as such they will need to be denounced! Now who has come to the meeting - a show of hands comrades!

Rules

Players

There will be eleven players.

Eight (8) are normal Soviet citizens, wishing to be left alone as much as possible and seeking to tow the party line and glorify their mighty leader - Stalin.

Two (2) are in fact fascist pigs, working with the Germans to procure vital intelligence before the start of Operation Barbarossa.

One (1) player is an undercover NKVD agent, tasked with uprooting suspected German spies.

Lynching

Contrary to the democratic ideals we see in a normal werewolf village any voting to lynch - or in this case denounce a citizen will not lead to his immediate arrest and execution. The NKVD agent will have the final say on whoever is arrested in the end.

Following every vote another member of the NKVD will interrogate each player in turn. This interrogator will not know the results of the voting and will require each player to once again select someone to denounce. These votes will not be made public in the thread. Please send them when you cast your in-thread votes. In addition to the name, due to persuation efforts they will also state their reason for being suspicious.

The information collected will eventually be given to the in-game NKVD agent - but due to intergovernmental rivalries the information he receives will be fragmented. What he gets will be incomplete, the answers will be anonymous and only contain parts of why denonciations were made.

Following this the agent will make his decision and arrest the man he believes is guilty of treason.

The Germans

Our two Germans have one objective, reduce the amount of loyal Soviets to their own numbers to win the game.

Each night they may kill one villager.

It's been a while. I'm in unless the rules are just insane. Plus, Cesare is a traitor to the cause.

Why not count me in... Sounds like a fun topic.

This is the first one of these that's been interesting, in terms of subject matter, since, err...mine.

I'm in. I'm also new at these. I'll try not to screw it up.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

If I have read this correctly the Agent will not be killed during the day as he gets to decide each time, yes? Sounds very weighted towards the "good" side. Very Soviet of you. :D

In though if there is still a slot.

Oh, sorry, forget this. OUT.

I thought this was going to be a game of denunciation, in which there was no fascist. Now you tell me there's not one but two.

Sorry. OUT.

IN if replacement player needed.

What if the fascists kill him in the night?

Did this game die when Tareeq decided he wouldn't play anymore?

Sorry. To make this game proper and authentic, everyone would have to be an informant, and no one would actually be guilty of anything.

Maybe we need to have a game in which 1 person is Czar Nicholas, 7 people are Whites, and 2 are Bolsheviks.

If the Bolsheviks find out and kill the Czar, they win. If the Whites root out the Bolsheviks, they win.

Thoughts?
