WW 166: Oops! All Cupids (Sign-Up)

Welcome to Oops! All Cupids Werewolf, the game where every Wolf is also a Cupid??

You might be asking yourself, “Jam, what the hecc?”

And you’re right! This entire concept is the reaction to the fact that it’s really stressful to pick a Lover partner without knowing their alignment. So why not break up the stress amongst three people rather than just two? One?

Special Game Mechanics:

• Every wolf is a Cupid who is able to select two players other than themselves who will be in a Lover couple together. The twist? They won’t know who their fellow wolves Cupids are until the game starts!
• Couples formed by Cupids will be placed into paired QTs upon the start of the first day. If one Lover dies, the other dies too unless…
• TWO-TIMERS! In the event that a Player is involved in more than one couple, the death rules change. If the two-timer is targeted, both (or more…?) of their spurned Lovers will remain in the game. If a two-timer’s partner is targeted, then the two-timer will stay alive if any of their other Lovers are alive!
• RED-PILLER! Any player shot by the red-piller (SK) will die alone, regardless of their couple alignment. Any remaining Lover will become single.

Win Conditions!

• The game is over when the number of wolves makes up half or more of the Player population, or when all scum are killed.
• Traditional town vs. wolves win conditions apply, UNLESS!
• A Cupid and their Couple they created will share a victory over the traditional winning faction if the couple is the sole remaining couple alive when a traditional town or wolf victory is reached. That’s right! A Cupid may still achieve victory from the graveyard if they bet on the right couple. Couples will not know the identity of their patron Cupid.
• If the Red-Piller (SK) is alive in a town of singletons, they will win. This will be assessed upon the triggering conditions of a traditional Wolf victory.

[spoiler title=Roles & Death Flips]

Town:

• (18) 16 Vanilla Town
• 1 Private Investigator may each night learn how many couples a targeted player is part of
• 1 Paranormal Investigator may each night learn if a targeted player is Human or Cupid
• 1 Doctor may each night choose a targeted player to protect from death. Doctor may self-target, but may not target the same player twice in a row. The Doctor cannot save a Player from dying if their Lover is killed, but will prevent the Couple from dying if they protect the night-kill-targeted Lover..

Scum:

• 4 Cupids will each pick a pair of players they think can make it to the end together.
• 1 Red-Piller (a.k.a. Serial Killer): Any players shot by the SK will die alone. If their target player was in a couple, their other partner will live. SK will be told if they broke up a couple.

Special:

• 1 Sociopath is granted after all couples are formed. This player will not die if their (last/only) partner dies. This player may also be dual-roled (e.g. Sociopath Doctor, Sociopath Cupid, etc.) This player observes all the same win conditions as their default alignment and the Couple/Cupid alignment.

Death Flips:

• The number of couples remaining will never be explicitly tracked in the header but may be hinted at through the write-ups.
• Players will not be notified when the Sociopath has died.
• All other roles (VT, Private Investigator, Paranormal Investigator, Doctor, Red-Piller, and Cupids) will be announced at death and tracked.
