So, a couple of starting rules for a Mafia/Nomic hybrid, which should prove to be interesting, or at least interestingly broken. We’ve already had a gangster and a shapeshifting alien dynasty, so I went with Andrew Plotkin’s werewolves - rather than alternating between day and night, the Werewolves can agree to kill one Villager per day, and the Villagers can put forward as many lynch (or prison or wolfsbane or anything) proposals as they like.

Enact a new Rule, “Life in Zahndorf”:-

The Villagers of Zahndorf are a simple folk. They can either be Alive or Dead (tracked in the GNDT), and all Villagers start the game Alive.

If a Proposal title includes the phrase “Call To Action:”, then it represents a physical activity within the village (such as a barn raising or a lynching). A Dead Villager may not vote on a Call to Action, and Quorum for a Call to Action’s enactment will be calculated as half the number of living Villagers, rounded down, plus one.

The Mayor may Veto any Call for Action which he considers to be physically impossible, or otherwise inappropriate. (If the Mayor is Dead, he is still able to Veto Calls for Action, representing the intervention of collective municipal government.)

Enact a new Rule, “Werewolves”:-

Some of the Villagers may be Werewolves - although they have lived in the village in human form for years, they have the power to transform themselves into savage wolves, and can roam freely through the streets and surrounding woodland of Zahndorf.

The Werewolves’ identities are not tracked publicly, and are initially known only by the Mayor.

A Werewolf may privately email the Mayor announcing their intention to murder a named Villager, in an email with the subject “Targetting [Villager Name]” - upon reception of the email, this Villager becomes that Werewolf’s target.

If all living Werewolves have the same target, if they have not yet killed that day, and if the target is still Alive, then the Mayor may post a blog entry announcing that their target has been murdered. That Villager is now Dead.

Enact a new Rule, “Bad Moon Rising” (we should wait until a few more players join or unidle, before deciding who’s a werewolf):-

As soon as Zahndorf has ten or more Villagers in it, the Mayor may select two random Villagers (excluding himself) to become Werewolves. He shall alert them to their affliction through email or some other means, and each Werewolf shall be told the identity of the other. The Mayor shall then repeal this rule.
