Roles

Setting: The game takes place in Metropolis, a futuristic city where humans have created robots to perform all tasks. The robots live by the three rules and do not harm humans. Humanity seems to be at the peak of evolution and are enjoying a very rich, sedentary life.

Robots of Metropolis
The citizens of Metropolis are now robots. Humans remain in their virtual reality chambers pursuing dream worlds. They are protected by these robots. Robots are only able to discuss during the day and can vote for who they think are Shadow Faction members.

Shadow Faction (Werewolves)
The Shadow Faction is a secret underground group who think humanity has evolved into a lazy, hedonistic race dependent on robots for everything. They have threatened terrorist violence and there are reports of members hacking into robots and attacking humans but nothing has been confirmed.

The Shadow Faction consists of 5 hacked robots. During the day they behave like normal robot citizens discussing who may be members of the shadow faction and bolding votes, but at night they convene and choose a target for their terrorist acts. This target is "scrapped" and removed from the game unless acted upon by special forces. This will be explained later.


Oracle
The oracle is the original seer role. The Oracle is a bot who can hack into another robot and view that robot's true identity. I will reveal the player's role (i.e. citizen, Shadow Faction, special role, etc). If the Oracle is killed, they will still get the lookup for that night, and can reveal this role if re-animated.

Re-animator
The Re-animator is a new role. The Re-animator has figured out a way to re-animate a scrapped robot into a new robot shell by transferring it's soul module. Unfortunately, due to low funding in research, the Re-animator only has two limited functionality robots.

VC7R: The VC7R robot model is a discussion bot. It has been programmed to participate and contribute to any social discussion ranging from politics to whether it's more efficient to sit or stand when wiping. The robot can participate in village daytime discussion. The robot, however, does not have a voting module and can not bold votes.

DP99 The DP99 model is a voting bot. It lacks human discussion capabilities but can cast votes during the day. It can also rescind votes.

The Re-animator can capture any scrapped robot's soul module after Day 1. The Re-animator can only capture one soul module a night and only a total of two soul modules. One for each robot. If the Re-animator dies, the robots switch to battery power which only lasts "24 hours game time." I.e. If the Re-animator is killed on Day 5, the two robots will live until the end of Day 6. When a soul module is captured and placed into a robot shell, it will be announced to the village the following day. Everyone knows the re-animated robot's role (since they died). Re-animated robots can not be killed. The Re-animator must be killed to kill the re-animated robots.


Will Smith
Will Smith doesn't trust robots but he's a keeper of the peace. He's investigating recent disturbances that may be connected to the Shadow Faction. To do so without being observed, he has hacked into a robot and now controls it. He is the vigilante role and gets one kill every even night starting night 2.


End Game Rules

The robot citizens win if all Shadow Faction members are eliminated.

The Shadow Faction wins if there is an even amount of Shadow faction to regular citizens ratio. I.e. 3:3, 2:2, etc. The reasoning being that a majority can not be reached to lynch one of the Shadow Faction members.

These are the roles for the time being. There is more going on in Metropolis than meets the eye...perhaps things will evolve as time goes on...

NEW ROLES!!!!!!!! EXCLAMATION

I realize this is a lot of reading...but please reread this a few times before flooding my inbox with PMs. I will post updates/clarifications based on PMs I receive. Do not ask question in game.

The Infected

The infected are robots infected by the Shadow Faction's mutated virus. A player on night 2 was infected by this virus and is now his own team. The infected player was randomly selected from the entire player pool. This means a regular villager, special, or werewolf (shadow faction) could be infected. The infected player operates on the outside normally, but has a new win condition.

Infected Win Condition: All remaining robots in Metropolis are infected

New Village Win Condition: All infected robots and shadow faction robots have been scrapped

New Shadow Faction Win Condition: Infected spreading has been stopped (source is killed) and there are an equal number of shadow faction members to infected + regular members.

Gameplay Rules

The player infected on night 2 is the source. Every other player is simply an infected. I will not post the number of infected or when a player is infected on any given night (except for today with the source) but simply keep an orange "infected" player role among the specials until all infected have been eliminated.

Day time rules: Vote like any normal player.

Night time rules: Every night the virus will attempt to infect a random non-infected player. This will be determined by ME randomly choosing a target. Then the target is either infected, not infected, or a force hack is generated based on the following percentages:

Special player, re-animated robot, shadow faction:

30% chance of infection
60% chance of no infection
10% chance of force infection generated (to be explained shortly)


Regular villager:

60% chance of infection
30% chance of no infection
10% force infection generated

When a player is infected by the source, he is informed of the source's identity. However, the source does not know who was infected. Infected player's are not allowed to communicate outside of the game. The only piece of information they have is the source's identify. The source only knows how many total infected. He doesn't know whom he has infected. Therefore, he is focused on self-preservation.

If the source dies at any point in the game (day or night), the virus can no longer spread and a shockwave is sent throughout the network targeting every infected player. I will flip a coin for each infected player (50/50) for whether they live or the shockwave kills them. If they live, they continue to play the game trying to win as an infected but they do not know their teammates and they cannot spread the virus.

Force Infect: The source starts with one force infect. This can be used any night, like a vig bullet, and will automatically convert a player. If the Virus Hunter (explained soon) is targeted, it automatically kills the Virus Hunter.

Virus Hunter

The virus hunter is the player, randomly selected from the villagers (non special) who was almost infected but got a glimpse of the virus. He is on the side of the villagers.

Daytime play: Vote like a normal player

Night Play: The Virus Hunter gets a lookup every night. They can not determine a player's role, but they can determine whether the person is infected.

Since the Virus Hunter saw the virus moving in the city link when it tried to infect him, he can sense when a robot is infected. If a robot is infected on any given night, I will tell him "A robot was infected." I will not tell him who, or how many infected remain. It is up to him to keep count.

Remedy: The Virus Hunter also gets a virus remedy. When using a virus remedy on a regular villager, it does nothing. When using a virus remedy on an infected, it cures them of infection. When using it on the source, it kills the source. When the source dies, the shockwave will still be emitted, but this time with a 50% chance of curing the infected, and a 50% of killing them. If the virus hunter targets an infected with his remedy, he gets an additional remedy. If he uses it on a non-infected, he loses the remedy ability for the rest of the game.

Order of night operations now:

Virus Hunter > Infected > Re-animator > Vig > Werewolf

[bigred]

It's a beautiful day in Metropolis! Not that any of the humans would know; they're too busy exploring vast fantasy worlds in their virtual reality chambers.

Bikes, a very busy human, is far too busy to play games with his friends. In fact, he's far too busy to do anything because he's jsut acquired a copy of LadyBoy Party Ultra, the ultimate lady boy virtual fantasy.

"So many lady boys!!!!!" he yells with glee within his virtual world.

Bikes does not see the mysterious, metallic figure creep into his room. The bot plugs into his virtual reality chamber and uploads some hazardous code. The lady boys begin to morph into Eli Manning lady boys. Bikes is surrounded by hundreds of Eli Manning lady boys all trying to grab him.

"Nooooooooooo!" he screams. "Make it stop, make it stop!" Bikes' brain begins to overload resulting in a fatal stroke.

After examining the crime scene, detective robots determine it could be foul play. That Eli Manning code was not downloaded by the user. Only a robot could have done this, but...the robots follow the three rules. Could this be the work of the mysterious Shadow Faction? They must be found and brought to justice!

But who could be the culprits?

Nightgizmo, Sasquach, and BankItdrew are toilet cleaning robots. They were cleaning pee all night.

Gator and Warpe are extremely old models. They can barely run Windows 95 let alone hack into a person's VR chamber.

GMML and Boog are dealer bots at the RiverTurnFlop casino. Weren't they dealing bad beats all night?

Stacks, TLR, and Superman are love bots. Pretty sure they spend most of their time at Roseanne's palace.

Ongbonga and DanA are British hooligan bots and spend their time fighting other hooligan bots at soccer matches. Wasn't there a big match last night between Metropolis United and Laser Arsenal?

Rilla, JKDS, and Hoopy are fembots who paint nails all day in a salon. We know that the Rilla bot has an issue with crying all the time (doesn't even have a crying module) but no other malfunctions are known.

Supa, Lorax, and Dranger are jersey shore bots. They spend all night fist pumping at bars. I doubt it's possible for them to leave Club Situation when the beats start.

Wufwugy, the prophecy spewer bot, is always on the corner of Main St shouting about the end times. I feel like people would notice his absence.

Flomo and Lolz are not thinking robots. They spend the whole day picking up rocks. Surely they could not have done this?

It's up to the robots of Metropolis to thwart this growing threat before robots are destroyed for good!

It's day 1! 11 votes or majority holder gets lynched! I will impose time restrictions if necessary

[bigred]

JUST ONE MORE WARNING BEFORE I MODKILL NONTHINKING PLAYERS. PM ME ALL QUESTIONS REGARDING RULES.

[a500lbgorilla]

Alright wolves, make yourselves known

[bigred]

Just noticed I didn't add end game rules. Added to rules post.

[rong]

Sup!

[givememyleg]

hey there

[Sup3rM4N]

Supa, Lorax, and Dranger are jersey shore bots. They spend all night fist pumping at bars. I doubt it's possible for them to leave Club Situation when the beats start.

Enough reason for me to start lynching!

[a500lbgorilla]

Gator imo

With our re-animator we can aim for strong players (especially when they're wolves) because if we miss, they'll be value in the ressurecting pool.

[OngBonga]

A football hooligan I might be, but I wasn't at the Metropolis vs Arsenal game, there were some French fans at the Birmingham Megabots vs Paris Surrender Monkeys match that needed an iron bar round the head. There was some Canadian kid who asked me what this fighting was all aboot, so naturally I attacked him. I think it was fulksy, he's in a coma so he probably won't be around for a while.

2nd person to post is usually a wolf. OOOh look, it's Dan...

[rong]

Good thinking. But bear in mind that once reanimated they only really get one day before the wolves eat them as confirmed villagers.

[OngBonga]

Read the rules again Dan.

[rong]

Was th? at updated or did I just miss it?

[wufwugy]

eeeeeerrrrr eeeeeeewwwwaaaaaaaa booooooop beeep wapwapwapwapwap ererererer

i mean this is a real cool looking game. gj big to the red

[OngBonga]

Dunno, but rilla is brave suggesting the village swing for strong players because they can be reanimated. He raises a good point... and he's the strongest of players. Having said that, rilla is an epic villager, while gator is an epic wolf, so maybe gator is the better one, but I hate killing him or rilla on day one, so meh. Later on I think we should think carefully about it. Also, we have to be careful we don't kill the reanimator and a strong villager trying to be clever, so we shouldn't do this on day one.

Kill the towel.

[JKDS]

Rilla is absolutely right! lynch rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Rilla is absolutely right! lynch rilla

You guys set up wolf chat yet?

[a500lbgorilla]

[supa]

Does this Metropolis have a robot Superman?

[supa]

I feel right at home.

[dranger7070]

lynch BooG

I mean, he's a terrorist. LETS PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER

[a500lbgorilla]

after just a few hours of gameplay and a500lbwolf *thinks* the wolves are already collected and scheming

Doesn't take wolfchat to swing for the low hanging fruit.

"Oh, OB is unpopular and people want to lynch him for this reason? I also think he's unpopular and wish to lynch him for this reason."

[rong]

Lot of action, a lot of action.

[GatorJH]

I am sure There is good and bad to lynching better players but I need to noodle it around and don't feel like typing a shitton on my iPhone.

Btw, I am REALLY hoping one day to not either be old or blowing TT in one of these intros.

[TLR]

Tons of n
oobs and Flomo for day 1 lynch and the vets are at each other throat

Weird game

lynch nightgizmo

[rong]

I could lynch flomo. He's proved useless and/or gone awol in every game I can remember him playing.

[Sasquach991]

At first I was like, at least I'm not one of the old models and then I was like, wait I'm cleaning toilets, and then I was like, why do robots need toilets?

[supa]

ITT wolves are lynching OB

Yo, I aint takin' noez lip from noez 500lb fembot. I'z alwayz wanna lynch dat ong guy.

Seriously though, I can see 1 wolfbot jumping in there but for there to be more would be absurd. Actually I can't see any vets playing it that way so gizmo (not a vet?) would be the only one I could see being a wolfbot here.

Now youz getz your big metal ass over herez and givez me a snooky.

[lolzzz_321]

johnny 5 is alive

[bigred]

Gods from above approve of Supa's in character play and award him a . It's worth absolutely nothing but congrats!

[NightGizmo]

Actually I can't see any vets playing it that way so gizmo (not a vet?) would be the only one I could see being a wolfbot here.

Correct, I'm a noob. But would a noob wolfbot just jump onto the first player that has 2 votes early in the day? Probably not.

But what do I know -- I'm only a robot that cleans toilets.

[BankItDrew]

I'm pretty sure gmml is a shadow faction member. I can never trust that slimy bastard...

lynch givememyleg

[OngBonga]

This is as good a day one as I've seen.

lynch gizmo

[Sup3rM4N]

Does this Metropolis have a robot Superman?

Right here buddy!

[OngBonga]

after just a few hours of gameplay and a500lbwolf *thinks* the wolves are already collected and scheming

I wouldn't think you're this stupid if you're a wolf, thus you're probably a wolf too.

Gizmo and wuf so far. After just a few hours. Haha I hope the wolves are playing this bad already.

[BooG690]

I'm suspicious of Gizmo therefore lynch JKDS.

[Hoopy]

Finally started!

Reanimator role is interesting, need to have a think through but can already see some fun scenarios where the village has confirmed people early on.

Lots of new people + BooG, so many lynch options for day 1.

[JKDS]

God i am so sorry boog! I completely forgot our game

rescind onga, lynch boog!

[JKDS]

Guys seriously, boog is a wolf. I mean just look at him! Who else could have THAT much hair?

[NightGizmo]

Breaking the three-way tie for who gets lynched:

rescind ongbonga, lynch boog

[wufwugy]

Gods from above approve of Supa's in character play and award him a . It's worth absolutely nothing but congrats!

Everybody who posted after this is a damn wolf

Seriously, this looks like that "more than meets the eye" stuff. Whatever could it be?

[givememyleg]

retaliation lynch activated

[JKDS]

I bet boog's asleep now tee hee. Everybody lynch him! Go Go Go! Itll be funnnnnnyyyyy

[a500lbgorilla]

Lots of people putting in an anti-village effort. I suppose no other villagers recognized that they have a 1 in 4 shot of bingoing a wolf on day 1. If some villagers could demonstrate themselves, we could conceivably increase those odds greatly. Instead of joke voting and resigning yourselves to the false adage of day 1 mislynches are expected.

[flomo]

Gator imo

With our re-animator we can aim for strong players (especially when they're wolves) because if we miss, they'll be value in the ressurecting pool.

This actually makes sense to me.

We should have at least one strong player in the ressurecting pool.
Who are the strong players and which ones are looking wolfy?
I've missed the last few games so don't know who has been running strong lately. In the past rilla, gator,jkds and warpe have done good.

Really too early to see much wolfy behavior but every time I read the word noob in a post it makes me suspicious.

Does BID always flip flop?

[BooG690]

We lose less value from Gator or any other experienced player by lynching them now than in other games with these new rules, but we still lose a high-value player that will probably be active in conversation/discussion. OngBonga is a standard noob that seems to think this game (WW) is easy that probably won't add value to discussion with posts like these:

I wouldn't think you're this stupid if you're a wolf, thus you're probably a wolf too.

Gizmo and wuf so far. After just a few hours. Haha I hope the wolves are playing this bad already.

Just sayin'.

[rong]

Trying to come up with something constructive on day 1 is tricky. But lynching ong is stupid. He has proved useful as a villager but not so good as to plan to use him as reanimated.

Regarding the reanimated thing. If we lynch a strong player now for this purpose, is it with the intent of instantly bringing him back as a known villager who can't be killed by the wolves? If so, rilla is a good choice as he's often killed early by wolves due to the threat he presents as a villager.

[rong]

In fact, perhaps our first 2 lynches should be players regarded as strong villagers who are early targets for the wolves. That way we save them for a period of time, can trust their input and remove a dangerous wolf if they are wolves.

I agree that I would be a good choice. Especially if I could lock up the talkie-bot role. But I would prefer Gator for a few reasons.

- I know I'm a wolf, which makes him a 25% wolf. So on pure value it's a better choice.
- Gator is a strong villager, stronger wolf whereas I'm a strong wolf, stronger villager. (Though, I have had some poor wolf performances, I'm confident I could swing some good wolf play)
- I am more likely than Gator to be the target of a night wolf kill.

This is a bad idea. I'm not sure if I should explain why.

[a500lbgorilla]

lol I know I'm not a wolf.

[Hoopy]

So basically we'll probably have 2 confirmed villagers (assuming reanimator isn't killed) very early on this game. I like rilla's suggestion of lynching a strong player early then being able to take their advice later without worrying they might be a wolf.

Best people for this would be Gator/JKDS/rilla, all of them are hard to read and play well. Only problem is if we hit a special role though it's only 3/21 chance.

Flomo just made the longest post I've ever seen from him in WW and looks kind of like a villager, Ongbonga looks like one as well.

[dranger7070]

Pile on the BooG wagon errbody. It's the right choice!

AHA!

Rescind BooG, lynch manillarilla

I knowed mah awsum jersey detective skillz would get wun uf em.

[a500lbgorilla]

dranger playing worse that roidrage. Inconceivable.

[Hoopy]

I think it might be a better play to lynch/revive a good player on day 2 once we see what the night 1 action is.

The danger in lynching someone good early is the wolves killing another good player that night since there's only 1 revive per day. Also I guess it's much better to have advice from good players than just a vote (maybe not important though as both are confirmed).

It might be better to use the reanimator as a blocking weapon, so the wolves know that if they kill one of the best players tonight they're coming straight back tomorrow.

All good points. Hoopy putting in a good village effort.

We should probably assume that once a soul is locked into one of the bots, there's no procedure to replace it.

We can use the re-animator as a block to force the wolves to shoot towards the middle.

We also need the re-animator role to protect the seer as there is no angel. The seer should be reserved for the voting module unless the seer is also a strong player. With the voting module, the seer can still communicate his reads as villager or wolf by a simple interaction with the talkie-bot. i.e. have the talkie bot tell him to lynch each of his villager look-ups in succession and end with a stop rescind. Then lynch all of the wolf look-ups.

That way the seer won't have to do anything towards revealing his role in the thread and can more effectively blend into the village.
