Silent Hill Werewolf Game Thread!

We took our lunch in a beautiful rest area where a local café served the most delicious sandwiches and coffees. A couple of people expressed an interest in exploring the local woodlands and asked Billy as to the possibility.

“ I have to keep to my schedule”, he said. “But there is nothing to stop anyone who wants to stay here for a day and catch the next bus that comes up to the resort. A different bus travels up and down this road every day. If you want to stay here for a while, you can catch the next bus tomorrow.”
And with that he pointed to a timetable on a post near where our own bus was parked.

A few people opted to stay and the rest of us continued on our way.

The next local village was built at the mouth of an estuary of a river that emptied out into the ocean and we dined on the most delicious seafood. Necro, Kolido and I saw a nearby bar and an incredible thirst overcame us. The beers were wonderful and we each looked at each other as if to say, we can ski tomorrow.

I went over to Billy to inform him of our decision and he was quiet. He seemed almost a little worried and was staring into the distance to the road ahead. In the dusky evening light I could see a deep fog starting to settle on the road and when I asked him about it, he smiled and cheered right up.
“Nothing to worry about!'', he said and placing a firm hand on my shoulder wished us a pleasant evening.

The rest of our party boarded the bus and we wished them a fond farewell and to see them tomorrow. The bus pulled out of the village and headed into the thickening fog. It wasn’t long before it had disappeared from view and we went right back to the tavern.

As the bus rode into the fog, Billy started to slow his pace. “Electricity is not good on this stretch of the road, so we don’t have any street lights for a short while. The terrain is too rocky, so I’m going to slow right down as we drive for the next few miles“. There was an eerie kind of feel to the fog and some of the passengers almost thought they could see shadows and shapes in the fog staring out at them. A small bead of sweat glistened on Billy’s furrowed brow and the knuckles of his hands were white from how tightly he was gripping the steering wheel.

“Just a couple more miles and we’ll be through” he mumbled under his breath.

A dim light appeared in the distance on the left hand side and a sign saying the name of a town, could barely be seen in the fog as they passed by. Just then, there was a loud bang and Billy started to lose control of the bus a little. He slowly applied the brakes and pulled the bus into the side of the road. He got out of the bus to investigate and saw that the front left tyre had blown. There was no way to change it there and then and so Billy was going to have to go get help.

“Cell Phone reception on this stretch of road is pretty much impossible.” he said. “But don’t worry, I’m pretty sure I saw us pass by a town just a moment ago. I’ll head back there and see if I can get onto a landline phone for some assistance. “

Billy opened up the glove compartment and took out a pocket torch. “Nobody leave the bus. That town is no more than 500 metres behind and I will be there very soon. I’ll be back here in no less than 30 minutes with help.”

He trudged off into the fog and was gone in the blink of an eye.

General Game Rules:


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. There will be a time for review and discussion after the game is complete. 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 Rikand, Necro or Kolido 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 PMs from the game mod or referring to the content of them. No screen-shots, quoting from backroom threads or naming of rooms anyone may or may not have are permitted.

3. Game schedule and voting rules: The game begins as soon as the mods say IT IS DAY, with lynch thread opened immediately thereafter. Note that voting is live and will be conducted in the separate Silent Hill WW lynching thread. Lynches take place at 9pm, Munches will take place somewhere between 9 and 10AM (depending on work for the game mods). All Night Actions are due by 8am every morning. The first lynch is Monday at 9pm

To vote, please state clearly on the designated thread with the format '##Vote XXXX' - where XXXX is your chosen party to vote for in that lynch. The format is very important as I am trialing a vote counter application and the format needs to be written like that to count. Vote counts will also be posted periodically on the game thread, from the lynching thread. You may vote as many times as you like but only your last vote will count.



There will always be the option for players to vote for 'No Lynch'.
Game mods also wish to inform players that there is a 5 post minimum requirement per cycle, which will begin from Monday morning at 10am.


There will be no missed votes in this game. Failure to enter a valid vote by the deadline will result in a penalty vote against yourself in that lynch. Failure to meet the posting requirements in a cycle will also result in the same punishment, a penalty vote against yourself in the next lynch. This will increase incrementally as follows:
1 missed vote OR missed posting requirements = 1 self vote
2 missed votes OR missed posting requirements = 2 self votes
3 missed votes OR missed posting requirements = 4 self votes
4 missed votes OR missed posting requirements = 8 self votes
etc.

4. Lynch rules: The votes WILL be published in this game, the data is also available in the lynch thread for players to analyse and interpret freely.

In the event of a tied vote: the lynch will be resolved by the game mod

5. Are you dead? People are free to post in the thread until kills are announced. You are not dead until a post in the game thread announces it. 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 dead room where you can discuss the game.

6. Policy on Abuse: Boards has a no-abuse rule in place that is in effect in this forum as well. By all means, call people on dodgy behaviour, point out if they are being silly or behaving strangely, be aggressive in your approach; but DO NOT abuse another player. If you feel another player has stepped over a line, the first step is to ask them to stop; if they do not, please PM a forum mod (Sullivlo/Baggly/quickbeam) or use the report button on the post in question. Forum mods will investigate and action any issues at an appropriate time, keeping the game mods informed of any actions as needed.

7. Stay in the game world: This game takes place in Silent Hill, a fictional town, on a fictional island, surrounded by a fictional body of water. Immerse yourself in the world of Silent Hill and try to forget about everything going on in the outside world. To this end, most people have received a Vanillaized PM without a character name or character image. I dont want people to be able to clear themselves by mentioning their character name. I want people to be able to clear themselves by playing werewolf Do not mention your character name even if you have been given one.

Win Conditions:

Keep playing until you are told otherwise - The game is secretive by intention. You will have to solve everything as you go along
