RECAP:

There have been a lot of strange things on the news channels the past few months, haven't there? A government facility called Biological Threat Assessment Centre (BTAC) was forced to lock down in April with innocent people rumored to be trapped inside. The government agents that searched BTAC never released what was found inside. BTAC was not reopened after the incident, rather they packed everything up and moved to a different location. A nice house party in the woods tuned into a slaughter; over-sized apes were reputed to be the cause, and yet no one could say for sure who burned the house down. A string of gruesome murders at a music festival left only a small amount of survivors who refuse to speak on the events that occurred, and the murderers were never found. Eleven people disappeared from their homes in late June, and only one returned. He awoke in a hospital from a dream in which he and ten others were trapped in a dark room with a werewolf picking them off one by one. Twelve online friends met for a camping trip in mid July, and only four came back alive.

Humans don't understand what's going on when they hear these reports on TV, but the ones responsible do. Lycanthropes understand those confusing reports. It's these inhuman beasts that have integrated themselves into human society for their survival but continue terrorizing humankind in secret that are the cause. Not every lycanthrope stands behind this behavior however, it's cruel and it's dangerous. Should the humans learn of their existence, chaos would ensue, and certainly some of human kind might think themselves doomed. However, fortunately for them, they have a secret warrior of their own to even the odds. A hidden race among them, built from the ground up by magic casters of long ago to fight the scourge of lycanthropy. The Ánleifr.

ROLES:

Therianthrope: This is the “innocent” role for this game! Your job is to weed out and eliminate the threat of the Ánleifr hidden among you.

Ánleifr: This is the “wolf” of this game. Each round they'll PM me with their choice of whom to kill. Since they cannot bite a lycanthrope and make it a magical human, they have a spell for just such an occasion.

Shawolf: This is the “gypsy” role. It's common knowledge that lycanthropes are magical creatures by nature, but in your case, you were born with more magical ability than most of your brother and sister lycanthropes. Due to this, each night you can call up to the Goddess Diana for guidance in finding the Ánleifr hidden among you, and she will guide you.

Bölverk: The Tribe Leader's Enforcer. Abilities of this role will be known only to the Bolverk until the end of the game!


As you post your phrase to indicate your participation, please include the strain of lycanthropy you would like to play for this game. :D Sign-up closes at 6:00 PM Mountain time on August 14th 2011, and Round 1 should begin immediately, barring any players joining really late. Hope to see you in the fight!


RULES:

Each player has one no vote and one abstain (or two no votes in a row) for this game before you will be removed due to inactivity. Should a special role player be removed due to inactivity, a new one will be selected. The Ánleifr needs to select a victim each night; if they miss one, I will select a victim for them, if they miss again, they'll be replaced as Ánleifr. The Shawolf and the Bölverk are not required to play their roles, but that would be pretty lame for the rest of the players, wouldn't it?

A non-wolf werecreature is a therianthrope. :p

Did you know "panther" isn't a cat, but a coat color? :D

Didn't know that. And it's odd because the Panthera family (cats named panthers) have varied coat colours from the typical tan colours like lions (Panthera leo) to actual black (black panther - technically just black leopards) and some being mixed like the leopard (Panthera pardus).

Panther is usually used either: cougar/mountain lion (Felis concolor), black leopard, or any member of the Panthera family.

So, it doesn't really make sense that the Panthera cat family is named for a coat colour that many members of the family don't have. O.o :confused:

Oh well, learned something new! :)

I'm going to go against my normal pick for a wolf and be a wereowl (snowy please). :)

You broke the cat theme we had going on! :mad:

Sorry Darkie about breaking the big cat theme, but I had a stoner epiphany.

I'm going to fulfill my lifelong dream of playing a Werejackal.

DarkWolf
08-08-2011, 11:12 PM
You're both evil and I hope the descendent (Ánleifr) gets you! :p

Lipski
08-08-2011, 11:13 PM
Love the idea, I'm definitely in. I have no good creature in mind, though.

EDIT: Werehyena!

BTR
08-08-2011, 11:31 PM
Sounds like fun, and I guess I'm going to go with being a were rook, it's a type of crow.

You can definitely count me in as a weregorilla! :D

TheXeeroT
08-09-2011, 12:13 AM
I'll be signing up, too, and will be joining DM in the primate area as a weremarmoset! :rockon:

Black Widow
08-09-2011, 12:18 AM
Count me in, too! As for my strain...I'll join the monkeys as a wereorangutan!

Rylias Shadow
08-09-2011, 12:18 AM
You'll be very small, TheXeeroT. Lol. :-p

Black Widow
08-09-2011, 12:19 AM
Looks like the primates are the most popular at the moment! Take that, you kitty cats! :p

TheXeeroT
08-09-2011, 12:20 AM
You'll be very small, TheXeeroT. Lol. :-p

I'm aware. Beware of adorable evil!!

BTR
08-09-2011, 12:22 AM
I'm predicting DOOM!...

With a slight chance of rain.

Xavious
08-09-2011, 01:28 AM
Got it, make me a were-thylacine!

Rylias Shadow
08-09-2011, 02:06 AM
This game is going to be really hard to write with all these strange strains you're coming up with. :p Lol. XP

But hooray! First official Weregame ever for Rylias!!

EDIT: I've also decided that, like GoddessWolf, I will add a special role if we can collect 15 players! :D

Fenris_brood
08-09-2011, 02:51 AM
Damn you GW, I called wereowl in the chat! Given this, I'm a wererat for this game. Stinky little bastard that I am.

Chriz
08-09-2011, 04:47 PM
I'm in. Werebear (polar, of course).

BTW, this is almost identical to a concept I was going to do for my next game. Ah well, back to the drawing board... :)

txwolf
08-09-2011, 05:33 PM
I'm in too. Thought about a werepenguin, a werewombat, a werepterodactyl, a werepig, a weregoat, a were-armadillo, a werechupacabra, but I think i'll go with werecoyote.

I'm so glad you picked that one! XD

Although after the appropriate research, I'm less worried about portraying you all accurately. :) I will probably have to take a few creative liberties with the Tazmanian Tiger, as not much is known of the nearly extinct beast. Hope you're OK with them! :D

2 more players, and you guys win a secret special role!! :beerchug::rockon:

P.S. Sorry about taking your idea, Chriz. =/ I hope your history makes up for it! :D

Were primates are just weird cause they are already close to humans. Just seems like not much of a stretch.

Beraias
08-10-2011, 01:51 PM
Count my ass in as a Were Fox (Fennec style baby!) I'll either play an innocent or Gypsy type role, both work for me XD

The assignment of roles isn't up to you, though. That's for Rylias to decide.

Rylias Shadow
08-10-2011, 04:57 PM
Lol, honest mistake, DM. :p

One more player for the special role! :D

Beraias
08-10-2011, 05:45 PM
Just a telling her what I know I can play is all Props to Awsome M'lady ^^

Demon Kat
08-13-2011, 04:27 PM
I would like to join this game, if it isn't too late. :D

EDIT: Oops! Sorry! I think I'll be a werelioness. :)

Rylias Shadow

Not too late at all!

Just please include the strain of therianthropy you'd like to play for the game! :D

BTR

You could even go with the old classic and be a werewolf.

Or, even better, a selkie, or wereseal.

demonic_monkey
08-13-2011, 09:23 PM
Houston, we have an extra special role... :D

Rylias Shadow

Houston, we have an extra special role... :D

Almost! I'll need a strain first. Although, if Demon Kat doesn't pick a strain in time, I'll just make him/her a werewolf and run with it. No one should miss their first Weregame due to a technicality. :)

NOTE: Due to complications with Monday, I'll be cutting the sign up short by one day. Meaning the game starts one full day early! Revisions and secret special role updated in the first post! ;-)

She edited her post to say were lioness.

I only saw that waaay too late lol. FIXED!

w00t!

I agree! Can't wait to start tomorrow!

Lipski
08-13-2011, 10:05 PM
What a mysterious role . . . . I'm utterly intrigued.

fenrir
08-13-2011, 10:16 PM
Is Bolverk an actual term? The only information I've found on it is about a figure from Norse mythology with that name.

Anyway, and I really shouldn't be doing this with so much on already, but if it's not too late I'd like to sign up. I think I'll be a Weresnake, Anaconda specifically.

Rylias Shadow
08-13-2011, 10:32 PM
Well, there's this; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_names_of_Odin

I don't know how accurate Wiki is lol, but it is a Norse term.

It's also a term used in the Anita Blake vampire hunter series for "the Ulfric's enforcer" that I'm borrowing.

And done!

Rylias Shadow

I'll allow it because I've allowed many other strange things lol. But you've found the line, sir! Lol.

BTR
08-14-2011, 01:33 PM
And I believe that's saying something.

Chriz
08-14-2011, 03:02 PM
If this game gets to 20 players before the current deadline ends, I'll make a new artifact for running a 20+ player game.

Good thing I didn't pick a werejellyfish then right? lol

I might have had to strangle you with your own legs, er, tentacles. :) Once I found your throat >.>

Jk lol. I'm pretty goofy.
