Originally started in the Games forum by Guilt and then run by Zorg (Game 1, Game 2), Pie (Game 3 and Game 4), KevMan & Pie (Game 5), Pascal & Mohith (Game 6), Pascal (Game 7), AkuTenshi (Game 8), AkuTenshi & KevMan (Game 9) This is a game that is played from time to time and run by staff or select volunteers.
Start of Game
A thread will be posted in the Games Room by whoever is running the game, simply post a reply to join. You will then get a private message explaining your role when the game begins and a new thread will start in the Games Room. This thread will list all the players and what roles are being used (how many of each) but will not say who has which roles.
The game will then start with votes of who to lynch, the player who gets the majority vote in the thread will be killed and their role revealed. Once this happens the thread will be locked and go to night phase during which everybody with a night time ability will use it. After which point the thread will unlock and the events of the night will be explained before voting begins again.
The game will continue in this way until win conditions are met by a group or a single player is left alive.
Alignment
Each player will have an alignment either good or evil, if your role is good your objective is to kill off all the evil players leaving only good people remaining. If your role is evil you will have a personal objective explained in the roles list below.

Don't reveal you're an Elder unless you're about to be lynched. Other than that follow the tips for being a villager.

If the victim of the Master WW happens to be the Necromancer then both the MWW and the Necromancer shall die.

Win Condition: Kill off all evil players in the village.

SEER - GOOD
A more powerful version of the Sheriff, every night phase this player can reveal the role of another player. This ability is never wrong.
Win Condition: Kill off all evil players in the village.
Tips:
Target people you have the most reason to doubt, back up the sheriff if you know who he is in trying to double check anyone he finds to be evil. Again hide this role as best you can as most of the evil players will have you at the top of their hit list.

Win Condition: Kill off all evil players in the village.
Tips:
Make sure you're as positive as you can be that someone is evil before you poison them, make sure you're as positive as you can be that somebody is good before you save them. Best to save both potions for later in the game when the stakes are higher. Hide this role as best you can until both of your potions are used.

Win Condition: Kill off all evil players in the village.
Tips:
Defend the people who from the previous days voting appear to be the biggest threat to the werewolves / evil players as they are the most likely to be targetted during the night. Be very cautious about revealing your role as most evil players will want you dead.

Tips:
Play the game like a regular villager, just remember that you and you alone know which 2 players are acting in their own interests. Don't be too quick to kill them though as for all you know the 2 lovers could be 2 good power roles on your side to begin with.

Play along as if you're a villager, if the people you hypnotize start saying that they were hypnotized in the day time then you can hypnotize a couple of less talkative people and then pretend that you were one of those hypnotized so they don't suspect you.

Any other roles remain the same only they must find ways of killing off anyone previously on their side before the game ends.
Win Condition: Win if the only 2 players left alive are them and their lover.

This is highly dependant on what you are your lovers roles are, play along with whatever role you have and try to protect your lover as best you can.

General Tips
If you're a good power role be careful about who you trust, reveal your role to as few people as possible if anybody at all. As soon as the evil players catch wind of your identity you will die in the night phase. If you're an evil player lie and bluff your way through as many accusations as you can doing whatever it takes, claim to be forsaken, claim to be the sheriff or seer to call the identity of your accuser in to question, in short try to play the game as a good player while seaking your own agenda as secretly as possible.
Most games will not involve alot of the roles, be aware at all times which roles were in the game to begin with and which remain. Anybody could be lying to, unless you're a Seer you don't know ANYTHING for certain.
Win Conditions
The game will instantly end if any of the following conditions are met.
- All the players are hypnotized apart from the Piper (and his lover if he has one). Resulting in the Piper and any lover he has winning the game.
- All the players are dead apart from a sole survivor, that survivor wins by default.
- All the players are dead apart from a sole survivor and his lover.
- All evil alignment players are dead, in which case all good alignment players take the victory.
- The werewolves (werewolves, master werewolf and silencer) are in equal number to the other players in the game. So if there are 5 werewolves, 3 villagers, a murderer and a piper. The game ends and the werewolves win. The silencer shares the werewolves victory, the master werewolf does not.
