editz: Irwin is willing to donate $100, so whoever wins (the humans or werewolves) will be able to split it. Bella1986 has also donated.
Okay, this is how it is played:
Start signing up!The structure of werewolf games.
Overview of Game Play
The players are divided into two groups: Werewolves and Humans. Each round consists of a day and a night. During the day, everyone discovers who was eaten during the previous night and discusses who they think is a Werewolf. At dusk, a vote is taken and one player is shot with a silver bullet (the only way to kill a werewolf). During the night, the Werewolves pick one Human to eat. This player is out of the game and the round is over. The game continues until all the Werewolves have been eliminated, or until there are an equal number of Werewolves and Humans, at which point the Werewolves eat everyone.
Identities are distributed randomly at the start of the game. There will be roughly 4 Humans for every 1 Werewolf.
During the night, everyone is asleep, so nobody is allowed to post messages to the game.
Werewolves
The Werewolves know who the other Werewolves are, but their identity is a secret from the Humans. If you are a Werewolf, you don't want the Humans to find out.
During the day, a Werewolf should act like a human. At the same time, they should try to protect themselves and the other Werewolves from being shot with the silver bullet. A Werewolf will vote, along with the Humans, to select someone to be shot with a silver bullet.
During the night, each Werewolf transforms into their animal form. A secret vote is taken and the Human with the most votes is eaten.
Humans
The Humans do not know the identity of anyone else in the game. Through discussion, it is the Humans goal to identify the Werewolves and eliminate them.
During the day, everyone discusses who they think is a werewolf. A vote is taken and one player (hopefully a Werewolf) is shot with a silver bullet.
During the night, the Humans sleep. When everyone wakes up, one Human will have been eaten.
Seer
One of the Humans is a powerful Seer who can divine the identity of one player per day. During the day the Seer may select one player to magically identify. If the Seer survives the night, they will be given the identity of that player during the next morning.
The Seer votes along with everyone else. If the Seer is eaten, they are out of the game and their divining abilities are no longer available.
Voting
During the day portion of each round, everyone votes for a Werewolf to shoot with a silver bullet. All voting is done in public, so everyone knows who everyone else voted for. You may change your vote at any time before the voting ends. The voting will end instantly as soon as any player has a majority of the votes. If no majority is reached by the voting deadline, the player with the most votes will be chosen.
During the night portion of each round, the Werewolves vote to eat one person. This voting is done secretly. The werewolves are not allowed to talk to each other and they will not know who the other werewolves voted for. Each werewolf will pick the top 3 people that they want to eat. Once all the votes are in, or the deadline has been reached, the votes will be tallied and one Human will be eaten.
Because of the "online now" list at the bottom of the website, the end of the night round will be delayed by several hours to prevent players from figuring out who the Werewolves are based on who is online when the round ends.
In the event of a tied vote, someone will be chosen at random.
Winning
Werewolves Win: This happens when the number of Werewolves is equal to or more than the number of Humans.
Humans Win: This happens when the last Werewolf has been eliminated.
