Werewolf - A New Hope: Lounge

[Previous]

It's true.

So, who should we kick out today? There's about a 50% chance of anyone we pick being a filthy evil person,
we could pick pretty much at random and still have a decent chance.

I'm willing to jump on pretty much any bandwagon at this point, really.

[Hoeloe]

If you think about it in a story context it does make sense because why would the host just let the baddies win?

I have a way of handling it in the story that makes it work.

[Shade]

Sorry for the inactivity everyone!
My internet connection has been out since the 3rd, and I've just gotten it back a few minutes ago!

[Sol]

At which point Sol might have freaked and gave that really awkward defending post with two "haha"s in it.

I do say "haha" a lot.

[Kami]

In my defense, I'm kind of an asshole. ...Wait, that's not an excuse. Crap.

I just got what that meant.

[Hoeloe]

I wonder if anyone noticed the Majora's Mask references I've been slipping in...

[Zadaben]

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but may I host the next werewolf please?

[Sorario]

Huh.

Well hopefully that clears things up to some extent. GL innocents.

[Hoeloe]

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but may I host the next werewolf please?

Well, it's pretty much first come first serve. I'd play it.

[Sol]

Well

I'm tempted to go flip a coin now.

I don't think they make three-sided coins, though.

[Kami]

Well

I'm tempted to go flip a coin now.

I don't think they make three-sided coins.

They all have three sides, it's a three-dimensional cylender after all.

[Hoeloe]

The tension here is killing me. It's especially interesting since I know which of them is the Recolourer.

[Vipershark]

gonna laugh hard when mutsukki is evil

[Kitsu]

Well

I'm tempted to go flip a coin now.

Good game, guys. Nicely played, and wonderfully dramatic. Well done to the innocents!

Role Sheets:

Member

Role: Member
Alignment: Good
Winning Conditions: Destroy the garbage members

You are a simple member of tSR, struggling to find something decent among all of the horrendous posts around the place. You have been given a chance to remove them, but the only weapon you have is your own head. Use it well, and good luck!

Goldminer

Role: Goldminer
Alignment: Good
Winning Conditions: Destroy the garbage members

You are a member of this site who finds hilarity in other people's stupidity. You spend your days browsing the good old garbage of the past, when people were laughed at for such posts. In the archives of the goldmine, you see how the users used to be able to deal with trolls and flame wars in the past.

Powers:

Laugh it off: Once a day, send me a list of 3 players. The topmost member of the list will be protected from the powers of Trolls for that night.

Spoiler Tagger

Role: Spoiler Tagger
Alignment: Good
Winning Conditions: Destroy the garbage members

You love funny pictures. See that hilarious rage comic? What about that amusing Photoshop? Fortunately, you're considerate enough to use spoiler tags for large images, or ones with NSFW content. With a bit of luck, you might just be able to spread your good habit around the rest of the site, and it might just help protect those in need from some of those dreaded, eye-burning images...

Powers:

Spoiler Alert: Once a day, send me a list of 3 players. The topmost member of the list will be protected from the powers of Recolourers for that night.

Harsh Critic

Role: Harsh Critic
Alignment: Good
Winning Conditions: Destroy the garbage members

You're not here to make sprites yourself, you just love to make sure other people do it properly. Even the slightest flaw is enough to make you leave a novel-sized post, or at least a good paragraph, on how to improve it. If you see something major, like a stolen sprite, well... then they're really going to hear about it!

Powers:

C+C?: Once a day, send me a list of 3 players. The topmost member of the list will be protected from the powers of Sprite Theives for that night.

Post Editor

Role: Post Editor
Alignment: Good
Winning Conditions: Destroy the garbage members

You aren't just a normal user, you actually have mod powers! However, you're cautious. You won't use your powers to ban anyone, not if there's even the slightest chance they could be good, so instead you use your powers more sneakily. You'll creep into their topics and edit the content of their posts, just enough to improve it slightly, but not enough that the garbage mods will notice. You work hard to improve the quality of the site, but alone, you are not powerful enough.

Powers:

Edit Content: Once a day, send me two lists of 3 players. The topmost member of the first list will have their power directed at the second list that night.

Lurker

Role: Lurker
Alignment: Good
Winning Conditions: Destroy the garbage members

You don't post much here. Instead, you prefer to observe. You take great care to look closely at other people's posts. In there, perhaps you might see what others don't...

Powers:

Lurk: Once a day, send me a list of 3 players. The topmost member of the list will be followed, and you can find out which player they targeted with their powers that night. If they had no powers, or did not target anyone, your search will come up with nothing.

History Searcher

Role: History Searcher
Alignment: Good
Winning Conditions: Destroy the garbage members

You don't spend much time posting here. You don't even look in the archives reminiscing over a forum that used to be. You like to find out about people. Look at what they've done, where they've posted, the topics they've made. If they ever wrote anything inflammatory, you'll be the first to know.

Powers:

Stalk: Once a day, send me a list of 3 players. You will be told whether or not the topmost member of the list is a Troll or not.

Hue Shifter

Role: Hue Shifter
Alignment: Good
Winning Conditions: Destroy the garbage members

You may not be the best spriter around, but you're a whizz with colour. Colours dance before your eyes and you can neatly stack them in the right order. It makes you feel physically sick to look at someone's half-baked attempt at a recolour, and you have a special eye for these things.

Powers:

Palette Cleanser: Once a day, send me a list of 3 players. You will be told whether or not the topmost member of the list is a Recolourer or not.

Sprite Submitter

Role: Sprite Submitter
Alignment: Good
Winning Conditions: Destroy the garbage members

You're not here for the forums at all, really. Your time is spent among the main site, browsing through all the different submissions the site has ever had. You've contributed to a fair few yourself over the years. NES, Gameboy, Genesis, you name it, and you'll know it on sight.

Powers:

Crackdown: Once a day, send me a list of 3 players. You will be told whether or not the topmost member of the list is a Sprite Theif or not.

Private Messenger

Role: Private Messenger
Alignment: Good
Winning Conditions: Destroy the garbage members

You'll post on the forum now and then, sure, but you really enjoy a closer connection with a few users. You spend a lot of time using the Private Messenging system. You'll send single messages, and group ones, to have more personal conversations, without the garbage posters butting in. With the right amount of luck, you might just be able to warn someone if their life is in danger, but you mustn't send too many messages out there, or the garbage posters will find a way into your private haven...

Powers:

Forewarning: Once during the game, send me a list of 3 players. The topmost member of the list will be protected from being voted out the following day. You can only use this power once. Make it count!

Super Mod

Role: Super Mod
Alignment: Good
Winning Conditions: Destroy the garbage members

That's right, you're a mod! One of the few good moderators left on this site. Unlike some, you're willing to crack down on the garbage posters. However, you mustn't be too forceful, or they'll be sure to find a way to ban you, and you'll lose your advantage over them!

Powers:

Instant Ban: Once during the game, send me a list of 3 players. The topmost member of the list will be banned the following night. You can only use this power once. Make it count!

Requester

Role: Requester
Alignment: Neutral
Winning Conditions: Survive to the end of the game

You're new here. You don't really know how the site used to be. A friend of a friend recommended it to you, and you've found yourself in a garbage heap. Tentatively, you try to ask them for help ripping some sprites from your favourite obscure game...

Powers:

Request: Once during the game, send me a message that you'd like to use this power, and night will not occur, cancelling any powers (including kills) that would have been used.

Troll

Role: Troll
Alignment: Evil
Winning Conditions: Destroy the other members
Team Members:

You're not a nice person. You enjoy seeing other people squirm, and laugh when they make themselves seem like fools. You intentionally post garbage and nonsense for the pleasure of seeing other people get angry.

Powers:

Spokesperson: By the end of the first night, your team must decide on a spokesperson. You will all have an equal say on who the target should be, but the spokesperson is responsible for sending me the list each night. If the spokesperson dies, or cannot continue being the spokesperson for out-of-game reasons, a new one will need to be chosen.

New Thread: Once a day, your spokesperson should send me a list of 3 players. The topmost member of the list will be banned during the night. Make sure you agree on a target.

Flame War: Once during the game, your spokesperson should send me a list of 3 players. The topmost member of the list will become a Troll the following night and join your team. Make sure you agree on a target. You can only use this power once, make it count!

Recolourer

Role: Recolourer
Alignment: Evil
Winning Conditions: Destroy the other members
Team Members:

You like to make sprites, but you really don't understand why people both making them from scratch. I mean, why even bother drawing new sprites at all? You can get on perfectly well by just changing the colours of existing ones, right? I mean, everyone loves Spike the Hedgehog and Suigi, don't they?

Powers:

Spokesperson: By the end of the first night, your team must decide on a spokesperson. You will all have an equal say on who the target should be, but the spokesperson is responsible for sending me the list each night. If the spokesperson dies, or cannot continue being the spokesperson for out-of-game reasons, a new one will need to be chosen.

Recolour: Once a day, your spokesperson should send me a list of 3 players. The topmost member of the list will be banned during the night. Make sure you agree on a target.

Sprite Thief

Role: Sprite Theif
Alignment: Evil
Winning Conditions: Destroy the other members
Team Members:

You don't care about making sprites. You really hate putting effort into it. You want to be known for spriting, but can't be bothered to learn. The solution? Take the credit for other people's work, obviously! You'll steal sprites left and right, wherever you think you'll get away with it.

Powers:

Spokesperson: By the end of the first night, your team must decide on a spokesperson. You will all have an equal say on who the target should be, but the spokesperson is responsible for sending me the list each night.

Sprite Theft: Once a day, your spokesperson should send me a list of 3 players. The topmost member of the list will be banned during the night. Make sure you agree on a target.

Honourary Troll

You find yourself browsing tSR. You're looking through the General Discussion forum, when a topic catches your eye:

"CREATIONSM IS WRITE U ALL SUKKK!!!111!!!"

You click on this topic to find the following post:

"IM A CRETIONIST ND GOD IS GREAT AND YOUR ALL RONG BCAUSE GOD MAYD EART IN SEVN DAYS AND HOMOSEXLS ARE EVIL AND I THNK ATHISM IS GAY ND UR ALL GN TO HLL BCAS VIDEO GAMES ARE PUT HER BY SATIN AND UR ALL SINNERS ND GOIN TO HELL!!!!11!!!! DNT BLM ME IM JUST TRYN TO SAV U!!!11!!!!"

You are infuriated by this, and rapidly respond. You search Wikipedia, news sites, science sites, wherever you can find a credible source to prove this cretin wrong. You look smugly at your perfect work. A glorious post, filled with solid data and strongly backed up facts. You click "submit" and wait. Ten minutes, later, you read the reply:

"LOLOLOL UR N IDIT OBVS ITS JUST SATIN TEMPTING U 2 SIN UR GOIN 2 HLL!"

You are seething as you find even more evidence to the contrary, but to no avail.

You continue this heated debate, throwing more and more at him, and it feels as though it's just bouncing off. None of it is going in.

Then it happens.

You run out of things to say, so you do it.

You know you'll regret it later.

But you do it anyway.

You mention Hitler.

It's only then that you realise two things:

1. You're no better than the original poster. You were drawn into his trap and lost all your self respect and dignity, sinking to ad hominems and straw man arguments, and just blowing everything out of proportion.
2. You enjoyed every second of it. You loved feeling above others, and watching them squirm with your increasingly flawed arguments. You smile a dark smile, and click the "New Thread" button.

YOU HAVE BEEN CONVERTED!

Your role has changed. You are no longer a/the -insert role-.

Your role is now as follows:
