Hey there. Anyone out there interested in playing a game? I've run games of Werewolf before in an Internet forum, and I think it will work here. I will serve as the moderator and judge.

What is "Werewolf"?
Werewolf is a social deduction parlor "whodunnit" mystery game. Two members of the village are secretly Werewolves, unknown to any of the villagers. The goal of the wolves is to eat all of the good players. The goal of the villagers is to find and kill the wolves.
Normally it's played in small groups in a face-to-face game. However, it can also be played in a forum, like where we're at right now! We'll use the forum, and use Discord to allow me to send secret information to the players.
For this initial trial run, I will have a maximum of 11 players.
- 2 will secretly be Werewolves (on team "Evil")
- 10 will secretly be Villagers (on team "Good")
- 1 will secretly be a Seer (on team "Good") who counts as a villager in every other way.
Winning the game.
The game takes place in alternating phases until one team wins.
- The wolves win if there are ever an equal or fewer wolves than villagers.
- The village wins, if all of the wolves are discovered and destroyed.
Day Phase
We start off during Day. The players work together to try to discover the wolves, however the wolves are trying not to be discovered. The day ends when the players vote on one player to be "lynched" - that is, removed from the game. Everyone votes: Village, Wolves, and Seer!
Vote by putting that action bold and in [brackets], like [vote @Yekrats], and you can unvote them by saying [unvote @Yekrats]. If there is ever a majority, that player is voted immediately. Otherwise, the player with the most votes at the end of the "day" period will be the lynched candidate. I'll let you know when the deadline is.
Night Phase
During the night, the Seer privately asks the moderator (me) to have a vision about one of the remaining players. The moderator will tell the Seer whether that player is a wolf or not!
Also, during the night, the Werewolves decide on one player to "eat" and remove from the game.
The moderator will announce the results of the night, and we go back to doing a new day phase.
After you die...
Please don't post any more, but you can watch the festivities!

Just came across this post recently and thought it would be interesting to add to the collection of games on @newbiegames and let the #newbieresteemday initiative tell more people about it :)
Thanks, I will try again with those hashtags!
