Hi. I’ve never seen any of the Purge movies. Then why, you may ask, is this werewolf game called “The Purge”? Consider it a Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans situation: same name but only very loosely related to the original.
This will be an experiment. It may be a mess. Hopefully it will be fun. Day Two of the game will be Purge Day. Everyone will get a vig shot with a 15%1subject to rebalancing and other surprises chance of success, which can be used during either of two one-hour time windows during the day. You use your shot by saying, in the game thread, who you want to shoot. Dust off your grudges, here’s your chance for revenge!
Other than The Purge, this will run like a fairly normal werewolf game. I’m planning for ~20 players (5 wolves, 15 town, no SK), but I can expand and rebalance if needed. Current list of roles, subject to rebalancing:
- 1 Wolf Roleblocker
- 1 Town Doctor
- 1 Town Cupid (Lover, but they “recruit” their partner Night One. There are no restrictions on who they can recruit, and it can’t be blocked)
- 1 Town Neighborino (Each night, they can choose a player to reveal their alignment to. I also thought it’d be funny to bring Flanders into the Purge universe)
- 1 randomly-assigned Fruit Vendor (Each night they hand out fruit. The fruit does nothing)
- 1 randomly-assigned Mail Carrier (Each night they can send a message)
- 1 or more randomly-assigned Watchers or Motion Detectors, not sure yet
Notes:
- I’ll use Slack for individual communication, if you’re not on there or would prefer a QT that’s totally fine. All group chats will be a QT (wolf chat / lovers / graveyard / etc).
- I’ll be running my usual vote spreadsheet for the game.
- I’m planning for all twilights to be at 2pm Central. I’m also going to try out having pre-defined day/night lengths. To start with they’ll be roughly 36/10 (giving me a little wiggle room for writing headers).
- In real-world time, Purge Day will likely be sometime over the weekend. Hopefully we can set times when as many people as possible can be in the thread.
