Proposal: The Power of a Wound!

Self-killed.  Brendan

Adminned at 09 Nov 2007 07:09:51 UTC

Change the text of the rule “Werewolf Attacks” to read:

A Werewolf may privately email the Mayor announcing their intention to attack a named Villager, in an email with the subject “Targetting [Villager Name] by [Method]” - upon reception of the email, this Villager becomes that Werewolf’s target. A Werewolf may also send an email with the subject “Targetting No One”, and upon reception of that email, no one is considered to be the Werewolf’s target.

There are two methods of targetting available to Werewolves - Murder and Biting.

If it is Nighttime, if two or more living Werewolves have the same target and their methods are both Murder, neither werewolf is Wounded, if those Werewolves have not killed or bitten anyone since the most recent Daytime and if their target is still Alive and not a Prisoner, OR if one living Werewolf has a target that is Wounded, if that Werewolf has not killed or bitten anyone since the most recent Daytime, and if their target is still Alive and not a Prisoner, then the Mayor may post a blog entry announcing that their target has been killed. That Villager is now Dead, and has been Savaged by Wolves.

If it is Nighttime, if a living Werewolf has a target, and their method is Biting, if no one has been killed or bitten by a Werewolf since the most recent Daytime, if the number of Werewolves is less than the number of Villagers divided by 5 and rounded down, and if the Werewolf’s target is still Alive and not a Prisoner, then the Mayor shall roll 1DICE5 if neither, or both the werewolf and the target are wounded, 1DICE4 if the target is Wounded but the Werewolf is not, or 1DICE6 if the Werewolf is Wounded but the target is not . On a result of 1, the Mayor shall privately email the target and tell them that they have been turned into a Werewolf, and that Villager shall become a Werewolf. On any other roll, the target escapes with a clue to the Werewolf’s identity. This clue consists of a single letter which is in the name of the Werewolf.

After a Werewolf has changed their target, they cannot change targets again for 30 minutes. A Werewolf may not target the same person for Biting for more than one consecutive Nighttime. While a Werewolf is in Gaol, it has no target.

Bolded the changes to make things easier for people to understand the idea

against Argh, I get the idea, but those bloated sentences are unreadable. If you’re having to upper-case the word “OR” to make it less ambiguous, I think the rule is in trouble.

LOL, well, if you wanna repropose with much more re-writing go for it.  I didn’t feel like completely rewording the rules, as I know I’d f them up.

If you like. I’ve got something else half-written, but I’ll take a stab at it when the queue clears.
