WW 201: Oops All Cupids III (Day 1)

Spring 12

You wake up precisely at 6:00 to the sound of a rooster you’ve never seen. Another day in the beautiful Wolfdew Valley begins. A knife pins a sheet of paper to your door.

It reads “Egg. Tomorrow.” in Old Mayor Lewis’s gruff handwriting. You understand what the hatchet of a man means. It’s the Egg Festival tomorrow.

You stretch your scarred legs and prepare to hunt the most dangerous of game: painted eggs. You know deep down that any egg left behind becomes a landmine for a child to step on and stink to high hell for days.

Somewhere out there you hear two people holding hands. A shiver runs down your spine.

[spoiler title = “Special Game Mechanics”]

Non-Standard Rules:

• Every wolf is a Cupid who is able to select two players other than themselves who will be in a Lover couple together on Night 0. The twist? They won’t know who their fellow wolves Cupids are until the game starts on Day 1!
• Couples formed by Cupids will be placed into paired chats upon the start of the first day. Couples will not know the identity of their patron Cupid. If one Lover dies, the other dies too unless…
• Polyamory! In the event that a Player is involved in more than one couple, the death rules change. If a Poly-Lover who is the central “node” in their poly relationship is targeted, all of their connected Lovers may die. Any Poly-Lover will stay alive if any of their other Lovers are alive! Poly-Lovers will all share a private chat.

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.
• Wolves win if they make up half or more of the Player population.
• Town Wins if wolves are all dead. UNLESS!
• A Couple and their patron Cupid will share a victory over the traditional winning faction if they are the sole remaining couple alive when a traditional town or wolf victory is reached. A Cupid may still achieve victory from the graveyard if they bet on the right couple. Multiple couples still being alive will result in a Town or Wolf victory.

[spoiler title=Roles & Death Flips]

• ≤11 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 targeted Player.
• 3 Cupids (Wolves) each picked a pair of players they think can make it to the end together.
• ≤6 Lovers in ≤ 3 Couples.

≤ should be read as “up to”

Death Flips:

• All roles (VT, Lovers, Private Investigator, Paranormal Investigator, Doctor, and Cupids) will be announced at death and tracked.

Vanilla Town will have been notified in their discord DM by me: “For WW201: Cupids 3 you are VT!” Anyone in a couple are also “Lovers” in addition to their VT or otherwise roled statuses.

Twilight is at Noon EST on Saturday, 18 February 2023.

Lutair is helping me co-mod, as per usual. Our tags are @JamMoritarty:disqus and @lutair:disqus.
