Another Point of Singularity

Now that's something you don't see every day.

I love the party/deduction game WEREWOLF, which is a game you can create and play for free or with nothing but scraps of paper, even though there are several commercial versions available to play with. I like the Da Vinci games version the best out of the commercial games, and have actually made a set of cards myself that you can find HERE

Joe Steadman has been pushing playing WEREWOLF on the podcast (Dice Tower) that he and Tom Vasel do routinely from their evil headquarters in South Korea. So I thought I'd give it a try. Among the listings for game openings on the PBEM forum on Boardgamegeek, I noticed this one:

WEREWOLF: THE MUSICAL

With this description.

All posts must be in rhyme, or must be quotes from song lyrics. Song lyrics may be scrambled to make them fit what you want to say (Example - Melissa's 'Just hoping no one knows / that I've been turning to a werewolf'). Keep it PG however. Anyone posting ANYTHING that is not in rhyme, their vote will not count for that day. They still must vote, but it will not count.

PMs do not need to be in rhyme. You may PM the moderator at any time. You may NOT PM other players unless you have been specifically told that you may.

Lynch time is 7PM BGG time, with nightfall following immediately afterwards. Daybreak will be the next morning between 5 & 7AM (depending on when I get up & get to my computer). You may sing, and vote, during the night.

In case of a tie for the lynch, the longest held vote will be the deciding factor.

EVERYONE MUST VOTE EVERY DAY. If you do not vote, you will be removed from the game and replaced with an alternate.

Night actions may be PMed to the mod ahead of time. Anyone who has a night action & does not get their order in by 5AM BGG time is out of luck.


ROLES & NUMBER OF PLAYERS - Number of players is determined by how many people sign up. A few days before the game starts I will close the list & accept only alternates after that. I may add more roles if a lot of people sign up.

MINSTREL - good role - more than one in the game - this is the role of villager for this game.

BANSHEE - evil role - more than one in the game - The cry of the banshee foretells someone's death. Banshees get to decide as a group every night to kill someone. Banshees are allowed to PM each other.

BARD - good role - The bard's extensive training allows him to peer into the hearts of men. Once each night, the bard may PM the mod and request to know whether a player is a minstrel or a banshee.
