WW 206: Get a Clue Day 3

Dawn, again, and somehow you’re still alive; though you made progress yesterday in solving the murder of Mr. Queequeg by identifying the murder weapon as the lead pipe, questions remain: who dunnit? And where? And who is the mysterious accomplice the murderer must have enlisted to their aid?

But none of these questions are answered as you trudge warily down the stairs to breakfast. Modsworth has prepared a light meal in the Dining Room, and as the other guests filter in from the hallway, an uncomfortable silence descends on the room.

“Ahem,” begins Modsworth. “You’ll note that there are two seats still empty. During the night, the half-donkey was… well, let’s just say the half-donkey’s problems are over now. They died of fright upon waking up to see Mr. Bianco’s head on the pillow next to it.”

Silence follows.

“Oh, that reminds me,” says Wadsworth. “Mr. Bianco’s troubles are… over now, too.”

More silence.

“Er, well then. Perhaps we’d best finish breakfast and get back to work.”

JOSEPHUS has died. They were the 2-SHOT VIGILANTE. Their card was CANDLESTICK.

LINDSAY has died. They were the NEIGHBORIZER. Their card was STUDY.

The Game

Each player will be dealt a single Card at the beginning of the game via Discord. Each card will have a Category (Weapon, Room, or Suspect) and a specific Role associated with it. Player roles are determined by their Card.

At the beginning of the game, player cards are “face down”.

TOWN/INDEPENDENT (10 players – ? Weapons, ? Rooms, ? Suspects)

Town/Independent players will begin the game knowing the Category of their card, but not the Role associated with it. Each Town/Independent player will also be told one Card belonging to their same Category that theirs is NOT.

Town/Independent players will not know their Role at the beginning of the game.

Each night, Town players have two options:

  1. Submit the name of another player – if you have a Role with a Night Action targeting another player, the Night Action proceeds as usual. If your role does not allow you to target another player as a Night Action, no effect. You do not have to know your Role before choosing this option.
  2. Gather Information – you will be told a Card and a Role belonging to your same Category that you are NOT. This is not a Night Action, and cannot be blocked.

WOLVES (3 players – 1 Room, 1 Suspect + ?)

Wolf players will begin the game knowing the Category of their card, and the Role associated with it. Each wolf player will also be told one Card belonging to their same Category that theirs is NOT.

Each night, Wolves must assign one Wolf to carry out the night kill. This wolf may NOT use their Role’s Night Action.

The other Wolves each have two options:

  1. Use their Night Action (if any) as per their Role
  2. Gather Information – the player will be told a Card that they are NOT. This is not a Night Action, and cannot be blocked.

All players may share any information they have learned about their Card/Category/Role in the day threads.

  • 1-shot Paranoid Gun Owner – once per game any Night Action targeting this player for a kill will instead result in the death of the killer.
  • Lover1 – as a Night Action, may choose a player. If that player is Lover2, they will both immediately share a private Discord channel. Once this happens, if Lover1 dies then Lover2 will also die.
  • Lover2 – as a Night Action, may choose a player. If that player is Lover1, they will both immediately share a private Discord channel. Once this happens, if Lover2 dies then Lover1 will also die.
