Assuming that we will eventually have a Mafialike victory condition, we should try to limit the effect of new players on Werewolf-Villager ratios. Plus we don’t want the new guys to have a free pass when we start lynching.
Add the following subrule, called “Spontaneous Lycanthropy,” to the rule “Werewolves:”
When a new Villager joins the game, or when an idle Villager who has not previously participated in this Dynasty reactivates, the Mayor may (within 48 hours) determine randomly whether this Villager is a Werewolf and alert him or her via email or some other means. The chance of the Villager being a Werewolf is (x+1)/2*y, where x is the number of Dead Villagers and y is the total number of active Villagers.
Should idling ever cause the active Villager list to lack any Werewolves at all, the Mayor may randomly select z new Werewolves, where z is the number of Living Villagers divided by 5 and rounded down. The Mayor shall alert these Villagers to their affliction via email or some other means.
