Werewolf XVIII - Buffy The Vampire Slayer

"Into every generation a slayer is born: one girl in all the world, a chosen one. She alone will wield the strength and skill to fight the vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their number. She is the Slayer."

The year is 2017. Having absorbed the life force of Ethan Rayne, the evil conjurer, The First Evil uses this to cast a spell across the town of Sunnydale, casting the town into eternal darkness and blanking the minds of its remaining citizens. No one is safe, or even remembers who they are save for the small few who have the magical ability to counteract this darkness.

This magical ability also has had an effect on the First however. For the first time ever, The First Evil is now vulnerable. Trapped in the town, The First has rallied the surviving vampires to its cause to finally end the threat the Slayer poses once and for all, and wipe out the remaining citizens in Sunnydale, or convert them to their cause. With all the chaos, there are several factions vying for superiority, from the villagers (good) to the vamps (bad) to Adam (chaotic bad). The spell has meant that old affiliations are not all in place. Some in the village have lost their memory of whom is whom, and some are not able to speak directly to those who once were close allies.


Under the guise of anonymous usernames, these forces will collide in the final battle between good and evil. Trust no one. Fear everyone. The time is now. Let battle commence.






The town of Sunnydale is now enveloped in darkness. It is now time to introduce you all to the main movers and shakers who will play a major part in shaping the future of the world.

Will the vampires win out and shroud the world in eternal darkness?

Will a hidden Serial Killer wipe out the entire town - Vampires and Villagers alike?

OR can the villagers band together and end the threat of the vampires and evils once and for all….






The First Evil – Alpha Vampire.
Leads and guides the vampires through a shared communication room. Can Kill or Convert one villager to the vampire cause each night, providing they complete an on-thread task each day. Some players are immune to conversion and a conversion attempt will fail if they are targeted.

The power of conversion dies when The First Evil dies as they and only they are able to convert villagers.



And its underlings.....

Spike –
Underling to the First Evil. Spike and his fellow vampires can communicate together in a shared room.

Drusilla –
Underling to the First Evil. Drusilla and her fellow vampires can communicate together in a shared room.

Drusilla also has an ability to peek other players where she will be told their role, but she must rest after each peek and so can only perform this action every second night starting with night 2.

Kakistos –
Underling to the First Evil. Kakistos and his fellow vampires can communicate together in a shared room.


The vampires will have one kill per night, regardless of the alpha task.

The First Evil/Alpha Vampire will be able to earn a second kill OR a convert providing they complete the task. Only the Alpha Vampire can convert a player to the vampire team.




The Serial Killer:

Adam –

A vicious, human/demon hybrid. Adam wants nothing but the destruction of both the human and demon races. Adam kills after every lynch but both actions happen concurrently – if Adam is lynched he will still get his kill for that night.


As Adam is a hybrid, he cannot be converted by the vampires OR killed by the vigilante.

Adam can also recruit his creator to assist him in his actions – Professor Walsh by means of a task. Should he succeed in recruiting her they will be able to scheme together in the laboratory beneath Sunnydale University.




The Scooby Gang – Team Good



Buffy Summers –
Buffy’s abilities in Sunnydale have been tempered by the ever growing darkness surrounding her, however, Buffy has the power – 3 powers, in fact. As Slayer it is her decision how to use these powers.

Her powers are as follows:

1. The power of resurrection from death for HER ONLY - for 1 turn.

2. The power of the scythe – Buffy can choose to use the scythe to kill a player at any one point in the game.

3. The power of ultimate judgement – Buffy can overturn a lynch at any point in the game and instead nominate her own selection to be killed. She must do this by 8.59pm on her chosen lynch day.

Buffy should also bear in mind she can only use one singular power on any player within the game: Example, she chooses to save Necrominus from the lynch. She cannot then turn around and use the scythe on Necrominus later in the game (no matter how many gifs he may or may not post) . This also applies to herself.

While there are three incredible powers on display, Buffy should only ever choose 2 to use in the course of the game. To use the 3 would have devastating consequences.....

Buffy CANNOT be converted by the vampires.




Giles – The Watcher/Seer.


Can check the status of one player each evening after the lynch. This will be returned to Giles in the form of ‘Evil’ or ‘Not Currently Evil’.


Giles CANNOT be converted by the vampires.




Willow - The Witch.

Has two one-time powers, one which will heal who is attacked and one to poison a player at any time she chooses.

If she chooses to heal she must submit this action within a 10 minute window after a death.

Her power to poison can be used at any time. The player poisoned will die the following morning at the munch. If the poisoned person is killed by the vampires that night, the vampire submitting the order will die 5 hours after the munch takes place (or less on speed days).

Willow will be able to communicate with Tara on completion of Tara’s task.

Willow CANNOT heal a person who is lynched.




Angel – The Bodyguard.

Each night Angel will select one person to protect from attack. They can choose to protect themselves if they wish but cannot choose the same person on consecutive nights.

Angel’s fate is closely linked to his true love Buffy, and her decisions will decide whether Angel will stay on the side of good or lose his soul and revert to the demon inside known as Angelus.

Angel CANNOT be converted by the vampires.



Faith – The Vigilante

Vigilante with 2 stakes for use on vampires at any time. If Faith tries to stake Adam, it will fail and she will lose one of her stakes.

If Faith attempts to kill a civilian with one of her stakes she will turn evil and become a second serial killer, with a kill each morning at 10am. If this happens she will lose any additional stakes she has remaining.


Faith CANNOT be converted by the Vampires.



Xander – The One Who Sees

A normal villager with a big heart, Xander has the ability to send 1 message each to Buffy and Willow, provided he completes a task for each message.





Professor Walsh –

A normal villager who plays for team village until Adam completes a task to recruit her OR she is converted by the vampires.

If Adam recruits Professor Walsh she CANNOT be converted from this point onwards.

Likewise if the vampires convert Professor Walsh, Adam will lose the ability to recruit her.

Professor Walsh will not know her true identity unless Adam converts her.


Tara –
A normal villager who can communicate with Willow in their cosy coven. What they get up to in the confines of the coven is entirely their decision.

However, in order to enter the coven, Tara will first have to complete a task.



NB - There are also some hidden roles not included in the OP. Who and what they are, that will be up to the players to determine during the course of the game.




1. Respect the mods: The decisions of the mods are final. Mods will not enter into discussion or arguments on thread about mechanics of the game once the game has begun. The mods have some secrets, but all players have been provided with the information they need to play the game. If you have any questions, please PM WerewolfGM OR Necrominus, Pter, sKeith or Drumpot and we will respond as soon as possible.

2. Don't cheat: This is a game that relies heavily on the players having integrity. No PMing other players in the game, and no chat about the game outside of this game thread and designated back forum threads. No posting of any PM's from the game mod or referring to the content of them. No screen-shots or quoting from backroom threads are permitted. No mass reveals, thanks.

3. No editing: DO NOT EVER EDIT A POST. IF YOU HIT THE POST REPLY BUTTON THEN LIVE WITH IT. YELLOW CARDS AND RED CARDS WILL BE HANDED OUT TO PLAYERS WHO EDIT POSTS

4. Be active: Please all try to reasonably contribute to the game thread and always remember to get a vote in as a minimum. Mods can also kill off inactive players at their discretion. Substitutes will be subbed in where available.

5. Game schedule: Game starts with a slaughter to be revealed at 10am on Monday morning. Slaughters will be revealed at 10am, lynch votes will be revealed at 9pm.
From Wednesday/Thursday onwards, if the game is still active, the game enters speed mode. During speed mode, the following schedule will apply: 10am munch; 4pm lynch; 5pm munch; 9pm lynch. Timings may change at the mods discretion.

6. Voting rules: The lynch form will be opened then and players can vote until 08:59:59PM. You can change your vote as many times as you like, but only your last vote will count. Do not share your vote form password with anyone else. All votes for the lynch have to be made by yourself. Two missed votes will result in a modkill.

7. Lynch rules: The votes will be published when the Lynch is announced. They will be posted in order of who received the most votes and then in chronological order but with no timestamps. If Buffy chooses to use her power to over-ride the lynch, results will still be posted after the kill.

8. Are you dead? People are free to post in the thread until the lynch and slaughter are announced. You are not dead until a post in the game thread announces it.
Please note: Even with the 10 minute window applied throughout this game if you are dead, you must stop posting until the mods say you can post again.
Once you are dead, please don't post in the game thread again. Dead players are also asked to NOT THANK POSTS IN THE GAME THREAD AFTER DEATH. You will be granted access to the deadroom where you can discuss the game.

9. It's only a game: Don’t be a sensitive soul. While boards own forum rules clearly take precedence over any in-game rules, this is a game where people will be insulted, there will be some bad language and people will try to provoke a reaction out of each other. Please accept this is part of the game and don’t go annoying the mods with the report post button unless really needed.

10. Stay in the game world: This game takes place in Sunnydale and players are encouraged to get on board with the theme. You don't need to reveal your character, but refrain from talking about real life or the world outside the Buffy Universe during the game. Have fun, make meme’s, take the piss and try to enjoy the game. THERE ARE TASKS ON-THREAD, BUT THEY WILL NOT INVOLVE MEMES, GIFS, VIDEOS OR ANY GRAMMATICAL BASED TASKS (ie mis-spelling etc)

11. This is an anonymous game - PLEASE POST IN THE ACCOUNT ASSIGNED TO YOU AT ALL TIMES. Non-adherence to this rule will result in a paddling, and also completing an embarrassing apology on thread in front of the world.

12. In it to win it: No matter who your character is, good, bad or indifferent, you must play in your character's best interest at all times. This is especially important in this game as characters like Faith, Professor Walsh and a host of others could end up on another team. PLEASE PLAY IN THE INTERESTS OF THE TEAM YOU ARE REPRESENTING AT ALL TIMES

13. Role Reveals: On death, exact roles of the dead will be revealed on thread. While Willow has not used her heal power, there will be a ten minute delay between death announcement and role reveal. There will be no delay in role reveal after a lynch.

14. No meta-gaming: Please try to forget everything you know about previous games and players and approach the game with a clean slate. Don't use information such as online status or other external factors.





SK Win - the SK (or team SK) gains parity with the village AND eliminate the other evil teams. (either 1v1 or 2v2, depending on if the SK has converted someone and they are still alive).

Vamp Win - The Vamps gain parity with the village AND eliminate the other evil teams.

Village Win - All Vamp and SK teams are exterminated.

There are no joint winning conditions - only 1 team can win, so the game continues until 2 teams are gone, or 1 evil team achieves parity with the village and the other evil team is dead.
