(Apologies in advance for the rather lame intro-- the game thread's intro will be much better)

There is one beast that no man in all of Erebus can slay; Acheron the Red Dragon. It was born in Kaluge, an uncivilized Orcish stronghold. Acheron is rumored to hide a Hoard of gold so large in Kaluge that it is impossible to count in one lifetime. It goes without saying that every single soul on Erebus would kill to gain access to this stash of treasure. the Red Dragon threatens to scorch the frozen lands of the Doviello and bring utter chaos to the already hectic Sheaim nation, both of whom share a border with the City of Kaluge.
The dragon-slaying Grigori peoples have a long-standing army of mercenaries warriors. This army is known as the Grigori Champion's Guild. After negotiating passage through Doviello and Sheaim lands, plans are set for the slaying of Acheron, the Red Dragon. The GCG will soon move on the city of Kaluge.
However, whispers have circulated that the Doviello have enlisted Baron Duin Halfmorn, the original lycanthrope, to seize control of the GCG and claim the Dragon's Hoard as a Doviello possession. The feared Sheaim group known as the Ashen Veil also have their eyes on the Hoard, and the Gods know that an Ashen never surrenders.
If the Grigori Champion's Guild are to succeed, they must slay the Dragon and return with the Hoard, all while keeping the Doviello and Sheaim in check. Is it possible? Sure. Is it likely?
No.
This is Night of the Werewolves XLIV: The Root of All Evil! The rules are as follows:

Day/Night Cycles:
Day lasts 48 hours. During this time, participants may vote to lynch a players. Vote by bolding a name only; no "vote:" required.
Ex:
"Landlubber is obviously a werewolf! He should be executed immediately!"
Unvote by striking through your old vote.
Ex:
"On second thought, I'll give landlubber another chance."
Night lasts 24 hours. During this time, players may use abilities.

Itinerary:
The trip will last 11 days: 5 days to get there, 1 day in Kaluge, and 5 days to get back. Under certain circumstances, the game will not end after the expedition is finished. Rather, the game may enter a new second stage. "What happens during this second stage?" one might ask. I won't spoil the details just yet.

Sample Role PM:
coming soon, most likely tomorrow

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me and I'll edit them into the main post.

I'm in.

Leeroy Jenkins!!!!!

/joins

What is this, some kind of a read drag-in?

in please!

What must we do to defeat the dragin?

Let's do this thing.

The cat is in the bag.

Awesome! I'm excited that I've gotten so many sign ups in 24 hours! Let's keep the momentum going. :)

Finally! A new NOTW... haven't had one of these for ages :)

let me in

The love of money.

in ofc

The love of money.

I assume I should count this as an "in" right?
(@CH, indeed, the Dragon's Hoard can inspire all sorts of evil in all of the weak men on Erebus. Money is the root of all evil.)

It was a witty attempt at an in.

In As this game looks like fun!

Bump!

Thanks, Auto. Am I the only one that finds it strange that I got half the signups I needed in three days, but haven't gotten any since?

Want some advertising done for the game? I can handle that.

Yes please. :)

EPIC innage.

I will be in to boost your numbers.

this subforum is dying, that cannot happen

I'll join

Hopefully I wont forget the password to my account again :P

don't see myself on the list ;)

Thanks. Only 8 more now!

I'll join.

I'll join, I suppose.

Bump again.
If anyone could get some advertising/inviting done, that would be great. I'll send out a mass invite tonight, but until then, some help would be great.

6 spots.
I feel that you may have to cut some roles.

Gah, I'd have to rebalance heavily; this game isn't very keen on innocent roles, and cutting nearly a quarter of them isn't going to be easy...
Let's see how these next few days go and I'll make a decision.

Agreed, we cannot let this subforum die tonight!

I'll resurrect my "Let's all play Mafia" thread in the Civ 4 S&T area.

Thanks. :) Let's try for a few more, I could probably get rid of one or two roles.

I might be going on holiday in remote areas of Europe (lapland) until about Jan 6th so maybe you might not cut those extra roles anyway and just see if more ppl come?? I'll let you know if I do go...

I've decided that I'm going to leave the game open with all 28 signups for the time being. Why? Because I'm hoping that more people will be available after Christmas weekend. If we get to January without 28 singups, though, I'm closing the game, rebalancing, and starting it.

Um, damnit. I really thought this game would start earlier. :/ I'm completely unavailable for the first half of January, so you'll have to take me off the list. Sorry.

Sigh. I'm probably going to get a head start on the rebalancing, then. It doesn't seem like we'll get many more players, and, as much as I'll hate to start the game six players short, it's an option.

Would you mind being listed as a reserve, Olaf?

I wouldn't mind. I'll probably be here for the second half of the game. It's just being in the southern hemisphere, it's the summer holidays and I'm going camping (with no internet besides an internet cafe at the campground, for the use of which I have a grand sum of $0... might be able to get on once or twice)

Okay, I've added you as a reserve. I've also decided that if I don't get another player in the next few days, I'm going to close signups, rework the game for 22 players, and start.

Hmm... I guess I'm IN. Are there any differences between standard NOTW/Mafia rules and this?

Not really. Roleplay is emphasized more, and NOTWs are usually based in the Fall from Heaven universe. Besides that, nope. Thanks for signing up! :)

Roleplaying, you say? I'm available for these forums again.

Ok looks like I'm not going to the arctic :( do I'm available for NotW anytime!

Shall I count that as a sign up?

I thought I'm already signed up?

You already did, my apologies. :blush:

I've decided to close sign-ups. I'll finalize everything by Thursday at the latest. As soon as everything's done, PMs will be sent out. You can have all of Christmas weekend to be with your families and such. The game will start Monday.

Um...shucks. My internet access status is up in the air until the 29th and even then it's going to be a bit iffy. I wouldn't mind being inactive as a player for a few rounds, or I could be downgraded to a reserve, the choice is yours.

I'll vote:NinjaCow64 in that case, as Dear Leader Askthepizzaguy has explained that anyone announcing their absences is clearly scum.

I'd much rather just have you be inactive. You'll only miss one or two phases.

It is one of many "scumtells" that are complete and utter bullfeces.

Sorry about the delay. There were some major balancing errors that I caught, and I'm thinking of ways to resolve them now. PMs will be out by tonight for sure.

PMs are starting to go out now.

Don't tell me you think I take it seriously :(

All PMs are out. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. The game will start Monday.

I'm going to be unavailable from ~Monday/Tuesday until ~New Year's.

Do we play in this same thread?

Do we play in this same thread?

Nope, I'll create the game thread Monday when the game opens.

OK. Merry Christmas!

I'm going to claim now.

I got the role of Askthepizzaguy, which means I am going to be investigated, blocked, protected, and attacked Night One, by no less than six players, and then be lynched the next day and be unable to speak, and after this happens, I will once again ragequit CFC.

My victory condition is impossible to reach because I have a mission to eliminate an entire group of people and I have no nightkilling power or anything useful whatsoever besides a scan, and then investigation results on me will return false positives for being guilty. Sorry, wrong site. That actually happened though.

Anyway, I'll try to take whatever happens with good humor and hopefully 2012 will be better than 2011.

Sorry about that second paragraph, atpg. Happy new year!

vote:ATPG Might as well get that out of the way. :p

ATPG, not to worry. We love you a lot here, but we don't trust you enough. I, for one, welcome our---I, for one, do try to randomize my moves on Night One. So rest assured that you'll most likely be safe from anything that I have on Night One...usually.
