HNZ Birthday Werewolf 🐺

Welcome to a twist for the Birthday Werewolf!


If you are not going to be active on the board during the play, don't sign up. We need people to talk!

This is the forum variation of the game "Werewolf"/"Mafia".


The Story:
It is a small town of Obsidian Harbour, close to New Zealand. The townsfolk are enjoying the time while their children and relatives are at Hogwarts New Zealand. Everything seems to be going well until they find a mysterious ring near the pier. It was an Ouroboros ring. There was a new threat looming.

The next day, cloaked people stood in the square, making their presence known. The Scitorari have descended, and they seek to rid all the good doers of Obsidian Harbour!

Team Ministry: You will need to find and lynch the Scitorari members, and survive!
Team Scitorari: You need to kill all the ministry folk without getting caught.

How to play:
  • Sign-ups will begin immediately and close in a week - 5/5/25. Once closed, PM's will be sent out to each player with their roles and/or instructions if required.
  • The game will begin on 5/6/25 with the night phase. During the night, no one must talk in the forum. The ministry folk will be sleeping. Anyone with night roles, you will need to PM me with your action - if you so choose to.
  • When the sun raises, I will reveal the outcome from the previous night, and all players can discuss who they believe the Scitorari members are. You should decide between yourselves on who to lynch. Dead players cannot talk. You can lie and deceive all you wish, but you absolutely cannot share your PM with your role to any player.

And now, the roles!
  • Scitorari- You are the enemy. Each night, you may choose one person to visit and kill. If/when you are killed/lynched, your role will show up as a Scitorari member.
    • Additional Scitorari - First is at 11 players, second at 17, third at 23
  • Ministry Officials - You do not have any special powers, but your role is very important. Lynch the Scitorari, and survive!
  • Seer - Once per night, you may look into your crystal ball, and see the role of one person
  • Faux Seer - You think you are a seer, but your use of tarot cards and scrying leave you with uncertain answers. Once per night, you may draw the cards and see a role of one person, but the roles are random. They may or may not be correct. Upon death, you will show up as the seer. You will not know you are a faux seer until the end of the game.
  • Healer - At night, you may visit a player to heal them if a Scitorari attacks them. You may also protect yourself once per game. If you try to heal a Scitorari member, you will die.
    • Additional Healer - Second at 15
  • Minister of Magic - You lead the ministry officials. Your vote to lynch off players will count as 2 votes.
  • Azkaban Guard - Once per night, you can block a player from using their night action.
  • Ghost - You will not know that you are a ghost until you are lynched/killed. Your role will be tole that you are a ministry official. However, once you are lynched/killed, you can choose to take someone down with you for revenge the following night.
  • Curse Caster (at 12 players) - Once per night, you may visit a player and cast a spell to take their voice away. Your target will only be able to communicate with GIFs, except with choosing a name to lynch.
  • Auror (at 14 players) - You cannot be killed by the Scitorari at night.
  • Hit Wizard (at 16 players) - Once per game, you can choose a player to strike down who you believe is a Scitorari member.
Additional Notes:
  • During the day phase, bold your votes. If you are changing your vote, be sure to put that in there as well.
  • The game is OOC, so one account per person. Use it during the whole game, so it might be best to use your main account.
  • If there is a tie with the lynching votes, the death will be settled with RNG.
  • Since we have a lot of time zones, each phase will last 24 hours. This should give everyone ample time to plot, discuss, murder, lie, etc.
  • All game discussion will need to be in the thread, or via PM with the Scitorari members. Do not communicate outside the thread!

May the best team win!


Special thanks goes to ElementalAlchemist from IF/ZB Support, who showed us that this game could be played on a forum, has worked out a good number of kinks in it, gave us the code to generate game roles and (most graciously) let us copy his summary of a number of the game roles from his post in previous games verbatim. Thank you!

It's pretty crazy but it's also crazy that we have so many unique roles alive and so many ministry officials dead by day 2 haha!!

@Professor Killian Borisyuk - if the guard blocks a Scit, and the Scits attack the guard, what happens?
Uh, good question. Either coin flip or whoever messages me first
 
A full role reveal tomorrow works too I think. Either I'm gonna be targeted tonight, which means the guard gets to block someone (potentially saving me or confirming another innocent person), or the wolves will go for someone else, hoping to find the guard, which means I get to look at another role

Edit: Sorry Marga that's basically what you said yes, I'm sleepy =))

Btw the second person I looked at was Marga, who came up innocent, but bear in mind that even the fool sees the right roles sometimes, so even if Daphne is a Scit I could still be the fool

Zazz jumping to Daphne's defence and adding another vote for Marga right after I revealed Daphne has a 50/50 chance (or better) of being a Scit is still just incredibly sus to me, and I'm sticking by my theory they're working together and that I'm the real seer

Edit: Even if Daphne turns out to be innocent, it confirms that the other seer is the real seer, so we learn something (apologies Daph if you are innocent)

I'm trying to desperately piece together what to do. I am simply going off on Claire's theory and voting Amber Chou Wilson because it makes sense to me. (I pray to god this is the right choice... Claire if ur scit and playing us all rn i will cry)
 
=)) I promise I'm not

Also Daphne has claimed Ministry Official, so even if she's not a Scit, lynching her gives you guys a better chance of narrowing down the Scits tomorrow in a unique-role reveal, as every single player will have a unique role and the Scits will have no choice but to double-claim one :shy:

(I'm so sorry Daphne I REALLY hope you're a Scit HAHA)
 
Ok well. I guess I have no reason not to vote for Amber Chou Wilson given the information in front of us right now.

I think we will learn a lot 'overnight' lol.
 
Oh gosh bear with me while I puzzle this one out HAHA

I guess the night gifs are like night 2 and so on?

6 could be Minister for Magic (unclaimed) or Verity depending on what list you're looking at
9 could be Ministry Official (June Davenport) or Demetrius Wagner
11 could be Ministry Official (Geovanna Adler) or Cyndi

Am I anywhere near close? =))

Quoting your post because in changing it to BB coding I can see there's a deliberate line break here

But there's only been 2 nights so far, did you mean night 1 and night 2?

I mean, thinking about this logically.... there are only 2 ministry officials left, everyone else has a unique role. I'm not saying we SHOULD claim roles... but if we did, we'd already have up to 6 pieces of evidence to confirm them (2x seer ability, 2x faux seer ability, 2x guard blocks)

((lI hope i am allowd to quote messages if not let me know))
 
I'm about to head to bed; it's been a loooong week so going to vote now. I vote for Amber Chou Wilson too.
Ha! Mia, I thought the last gif in the Scooby Doo was you saying everyone was suspicious. I didn't even catch the Daphne call out (and I've never seen Bridgerton so that one definitely went over my head) xD
I still think Marga is hella suspicious, which if she is innocent like Claire seems to believe is not super helpful for the village so it'll be interesting to see what tomorrow brings.
 
Voting Episode 4 GIF by The Simpsons

I vote for Amber Chou Wilson
 
OH MIA!! Haha, were you maybe saying that if after 2 nights, we have 6 pieces of evidence, then after 3 nights we'd have 9?

I still can't figure out the 11 though =))

I also missed the scooby doo daphne reference :lol: genius

Also, if I die tonight, it was a pleasure knowing you all, good luck!!!!
 
then after 3 nights we'd have 9?
Even if we didn't do a role reveal today, I think it's unlikely since there's more special roles left than there are ministry officials so while we have higher chances of taking out a wolf, there's also higher chances of them figuring out which ones have special roles. And like Claire mentioned, evidence dies with special role unless we can pick up breadcrumbs left behind in previous posts
 
Look marga i trust your math, but you know that, so you know i would trust anything you say regarding math!!! i know this is unhinged but i swear your guilty

edit; i can see the merit in voting off daphne, but it would be suss now of me to change my vote, it’s also suss not to change my vote but i still feel like daphne is not guilty. i have my reasons there. marga seems so suss to me it’s not funny, also for reasons.
