Please do not sign up to play this game if you won't be active on the board during play.
This is a forum variation of the popular table/party game "Werewolf" (or "Mafia", "Assassin", etc.).
The Story:
Players have been invited to HNZ's birthday party... as a circus troop for HNZ's entertainment. It's a multi-day festival and as they all leave the clown car and go in to their circus tent they realize they've already lost one of their number, and a smear of red and white makeup indicates it's one of the clowns that has turned against them.
The circus-people play to make the wereclown leave the party (what a sad clown he'll be then)!
The wereclown plays to make all the other performers disappear so he can take out HNZ with nobody standing in his way!
Who will win in this epic struggle?
How We'll Play:
Signups will begin immediately and close once we have enough people to play or sometime next week
.
Once signups are closed, every player will be sent a PM with their role in the game and, if needed, instructions on how to play their role.
There are two phases during play.
Day Phase:
During the day, players talk and discuss suspicions as well as vote for who they want to make leave the party. The player who most of the players vote for is exiled; never to enjoy the birthday cake! Exiled players cannot talk during the day. You're allowed to lie all you want, though no player may at any time "prove" their role by sharing the personal message sent to them. It's all in how you talk.
Night Phase:
Everybody goes to sleep - except certain players who go about business at night. Nobody should talk in the topic during night phase.
What are the roles?!
[ul][li]Wereclown - You are the enemy in the game. Each night, you are allowed to kill one player. (I will forbid you from killing another wereclown.) During the day you must blend in with the villagers in order to survive to the end of the game.</LI>
[li]Gypsy - You are a performer with a very special power. Each night, you are allowed to see the true nature of one player.</LI>
[li]Strongman - You are a performer with a very special power. Each night, you are allowed to guard one player from the wereclown. If the clown attacks the guarded player, the attack will not occur. However, if you guard the wereclown, the clown will kill you instead of the target.
[li]Ringmaster - You are a performer with a not-so-special power. You are "automatically guarded" each night--you cannot be killed by the wereclown, regardless of whether a strongman guards you.
[li]Bearded Lady - You are a performer with no special powers whatsoever. You don't know you are the Bearded Lady (perhaps you've never looked in the mirror?). However, to the Gypsy you will appear to the wereclown. Gypsy, beware!
[li]Performer - A player with no special role. You hunt down the wereclown.
[li]Other roles:[ul]<LI>[li]Knife-thrower - 11 players. Is a regular performer, but may kill one player the night after he/she dies.
[li]Juggling Master - 13 players. The Juggling Master is a regular performer, but chooses two players the first night. These two players will be taught to be juggling partners. When one partner dies, they both drop the knives they've been juggling with each other and the other passes away, too!
(Strategy tip: The two lovers should form a team.)
[li]Con Artist - 14 players. The Con Artist acts like the Gypsy, but receives random roles instead of the real ones. Each random role may or may not be correct.
[li]Gypsy Clown?! - 22 players. The Gypsy Clown can also see people's true nature, but wins with the wereclown rather than the other performers - he's trying to destroy the holidays!
[li]Extra wereclown - second with knife thrower at 11, third at 17, fourth at 23.
[li]Extra strongman - second at 23.[/li][/ul][/li][/ul]
Other Notes:[ul][li]When voting during the day, please make it clear who you are voting for. "<player name> is a wereclown!"
[li]If you want to change your vote, please do so in a new post and indicate you've changed your mind. "Changing vote to <player name>."
[li]This game is out of character. So OOC people sign up, not accounts. So you can only be playing this game as you.
[li]To make this easier on everybody, it would be ideal if you only used one of your accounts during gameplay. Otherwise, ensure any account you post with during play has the exact same OOC name (and the OOC name field filled out).
[li]Updated! Because we've had such time zone-y troubles: each phase will be 24 hours long. This means that there should be no time zone complaining from anybody about not being able to eat people/vote/etc.
[li]Special thanks goes to ElementalAlchemist from IF/ZB Support, who showed that this game could be played on a forum, has worked out a good number of kinks in it, gave me the code to generate game roles and (most graciously) let me copy his summary of each game role from his post in previous games verbatim.

or is HNZ lagging with its creaky joints of nine years old? 
Silly reasonings, I assure you, James. This early in the game, it would be near impossible to really rule out anyone. The first few rounds are pretty random, given the previous games.
