Werewolf #5: Super Mario Bros + Duck Hunt
(https://wintreath.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ipged.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F08%2Fmariocrossoverpost.jpg&hash=3b383ffdb3bfaa3471604e9ce57a9d8b)

Story:
Quote
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, and it was also the annual Mushroom Festival.  Toads of all sorts were gathered in appreciation for the continued heroic deeds of the Mario Bros.  Princess Peach in particular was excited to present the brothers with a letter in the mail that read:

Dear Mario (and Luigi),
I've baked a lovely cake for you at our Mushroom Festival, and would be honored if you came by and had a slice.

Yours truly,
Princess Toadstool.
Peach <3

Mario, of course, was eager to visit the festival, dragging a reluctant Luigi (who was thinking more of Princess Daisy at the time) along with him.

As they arrived they were met by happy Toads who were singing and cheering, and were met with a red-carpet reception with Princess Peach at the very end, holding the cake with a pleasant smile on her face.

But as they approached, the sky grew dark as several warships with Bowser's insignia approached.  The evil King of the Koopas stood at the front of the largest one, making his presence known as his voice boomed.

“Mario!  You've been a thorn on my side for too long, but no more!” He boomed as he held a wand aloft.  “With this wand, I'll finally get everything I want!” he boomed once more.  He then waved the wand as everything began to sparkle and shine, and Mushroom Kingdom was engulfed in a bright light.

As it receded, chaos had began to spread throughout Mushroom Kingdom:  Ducks had suddenly appeared in a portal and had began attacking people, Princess Daisy was kidnapped by what seemed like a large ape that favored large areas that it could throw barrels from, and many of the Mushroom Kingdom inhabitants suddenly got the urge to get into the paper delivery business, only to be thwarted by random obstacles including other toads chasing them for breaking their windows.

There's also the sudden emergence of heroes seeking golden triangles, a new fascination with karate and flying space ships, toads chasing others with whips claiming they're chasing vampires, and homes being destroyed by blocks seemingly appearing from space (and then disappearing when they touch)...but those things aren't important!

All in all, it seemed Mushroom Kingdom was doomed.

Characters:
Princess Peach: Also known as Princess Toadstool in the older games, Princess Peach is the head of the Mushroom Kingdom, who habitually gets kidnapped by Bowser.  She's generally known for her keen insight (despite never seeing her kidnapping coming), and clever nature, in which she can generally see through disguises if she looks carefully enough.  During each night that she's not being held captive by King Bowser, she can use her powers of insight to look at a person's role.

Mario and Luigi: Defenders of the Mushroom Kingdom, it's these two brothers that are always responsible for saving it when it's in peril and rescuing the princess whenever she's kidnapped.  Using their strength, love for spaghetti, and valuable jumping skills (as well as the occasional fireball), these two brothers can each protect one person from evil's grips, provided that they haven't been touched by a poison mushroom and rendered incapacitated.

Lenny Koopa, Wendy O. Koopa, and Ludwig Von Koopa: Faithful children to King Bowser Koopa, its their responsibility to remove the competition and seize the day for clan Koopa.  During each night, the koopalings will work together with King Bowser to decide who they should remove from the field.  The Koopalings must be dealt with before King Bowser Koopa may be ejected.

King Bowser Koopa: The great big nasty himself, King Koopa routinely kidnaps Princess Peach for whatever reason may be, and he usually succeeds until he's foiled by the Mario bros.  For three nights, King Bowser may choose to kidnap the princess, rendering her insight useless for that night.  King Bowser Koopa may only be ejected from Mushroom Kingdom AFTER his Koopalings are dealt with first.

Duck Hunt Dog: Out of nowhere comes the Duck Hunt Dog, seeking to find the ducks which have scattered across the Mushroom Kingdom, causing trouble.  For a total of three nights, Duck Hunt Dog can attack and remove a player from the field, in attempt to capture one of the ducks.  Duck Hunt Dog can only share a win if the Ducks are gone.

Ducks: Much like the Duck Hunt Dog, these birds came in from out of nowhere and are continually causing chaos in the Mushroom Kingdom.   There can be a total of 3 ducks found within Mushroom Kingdom, each having a different power.  Duck 1 will do nothing but cause trouble for the good guys, throwing a poison mushroom each night and negating the victim's power for that night...provided they have one.  Duck 2 will throw Stars each night, giving the chosen person Total Defense from all attacks and all scans that night (if they're hit with a poison mushroom first, the star will negate that power as well as grant immunity).  Duck 3 will throw Mini Mushrooms for a total of 3 day phases.  Those hit by the mini mushroom will be immune to votes for that day phase.  Duck 2 and 3 cannot use their powers on themselves, but can use it on the other ducks.  None of the ducks know each other.

Toads: a prominent race in the Mushroom Kingdom, Toads are the virtually useless characters that are only good for two things: Being around when you really don't want them to be, and churning out equally useless advice that may be completely irrelevant to what you're doing.  They're essentially a normal people that will come out and speak in groups as to who they think the bad guys are, and may even vote together as a group to have one ejected from Mushroom Kingdom.  At night, however, they sleep soundly in their comfy beds in their little mushroom houses.

Rules
1. You must always vote to eject someone from Mushroom Kingdom.  You may, however, vote yourself as a loophole to that exception.

2. In the event of a tie, Donkey Kong will throw barrels at all people in that tie (IE, randomizer/dice roll).  Whoever the barrel hits will be ejected from Mushroom Kingdom.

3. The ducks must ALWAYS choose someone to empower and debilitate.

4. Depending on the number of players will dictate how the Duck role works: If there are enough players, there will be two ducks, distinguishing the two mentioned groups in their bio.  If there aren't, there will be simply one duck that will choose one player to Empower and one to Debilitate in the same night.

5. The Ducks will only share a win if the Duck Hunt dog is ejected/killed, and vice versa.

6. Princess Peach's power will be rendered void if she's kidnapped by Bowser.

7. If a power role is hit by a Poison Mushroom, their power will be negated.  If a Toad is hit, they'll just be angry that someone threw a mushroom at them.

8. If someone is hit by Star power, they'll be immune to any attack on them for that night. However, the power caused by the star will also shield them from being scanned by Peach.  If Peach scans a Star-powered player, she'll simply be told "The person you scanned has been granted with Star Power and is shielded from your sight."  If a player has been hit by the Poison Mushroom first, the Star power will cancel the effect of the mushroom as well as grant immunity.

9. The Koopas will win if King Bowser Koopa is still alive.

10. King Bowser Koopa can only be ejected/removed if the Koopalings are gone.

11. If a player does not vote for two consecutive phases, they will be forced to partake in the paper deliver service on a bicycle, be chased by an angry toad, and then thrown from their bicycle out of Mushroom Kingdom after running into a dog that will randomly appear in their path.

12. Day phases will last for 48 hours, and night phases will last for 24 hours.

13. The ejected may say a final goodbye and then proceed to talk in the “Rejected characters” PM.

If anyone has any questions/comments/suggestions, feel free to share them in here/PM.  Otherwise, signups will remain open until Saturday, June 20th at 10:30 PM PST. :)

The signups have been updated.  I appreciate the offer Aaron, but I should be fine with the game.  I gave myself plenty of time to get totally prepared for this specific one.

The king of Werewolf returns! :D

Given the interesting theme of the game, I will volunteer to be one of the first eliminated play. If you want to write something up to send to our embassies, let me know as well.

Well, we do have certain traditions to uphold! :P

They're probably going to try to pin your murder on me again. >.<

Actually, I already have an addendum ready to go (it just needs your touch of brilliance of course ;) ) and posted in the Orendi thread.  I made posted it seconds after I posted the sign ups.

Just if you want to not actually look for it:

Hey everyone, Pengu here!  It's been a quiet front for games on Wintreath for some time, but now we're coming at you with Werewolf 5: Super Mario Bros + Duck Hunt.  Here's what it'll be about:

Quote
Werewolf goes Old School:

(https://questerslog.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/np_november_c1.jpg)
Some of the odd characters that appeared in the Kingdom last night.

It's absolute chaos in the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom, as King Bowser Koopa uses a wand that opens portals throughout Mushroom Kingdom and alters the universe.  Now ducks are flying throughout and spreading trouble, an ape has taken to high places and throwing barrels while holding Princess Daisy captive, and many of the peaceful toads have developed a strange desire: to deliver papers on a bicycle while avoiding pointless obstacles and the occasional obstacle course...all while avoiding the occasional angry Toad coming out of their home and chasing them for breaking their window.

There's also the sudden emergence of heroes seeking golden triangles, a new fascination with karate and flying space ships, toads chasing others with whips claiming they're chasing vampires, and homes being destroyed by blocks seemingly appearing from space (and then disappearing when they touch)...but those things aren't important!

What is important is that Mushroom Kingdom is in danger, and it needs your help.  Can you do what it takes to stop King Bowser Koopa before the Kingdom is completely destroyed?  Or will it become a wasteland of retro proportions?  Stop by the castle if you wish to save the kingdom! (http://wintreath.com/forums/index.php?topic=2469.0)

Sound like fun?  Stop on by Wintreath (a link is provided at the end of the description) and sign up today!

If you don't mind, I think I'd rather send it out as a separate dispatch this week since sign-ups are already open and we need something to send out this week. :)

Signups have been updated.

At the moment, we have access to these roles:

*Princess Peach
*Ludwig Von Koopa and King Bowser Koopa
*The Mario Bros
*Five Toads

The more people that sign up, the more of the roles mentioned at the beginning that will make an appearance.  Likewise, characters with limited power usage may get more uses.

To give an idea, here's how it'd break down:

10 players: Basic game requirements met
12 players: Wendy Koopa is added to the fold
14 players: Duck Hunt Dog and Duck are added to the fold.
16 players: Lenny Koopa is added to the fold.
18 players: Duck 2 is added to the fold
20 players: Duck hunt Dog and Koopa gain an extra use, Duck 3 is added to the fold.
21+ Players: New Character Link, the "Guardian" appears.

I'll be perfectly happy with whatever the player count is, but that's a breakdown of how it'll progress.

You didn't include me in your list. I think we have a good number of players considering that invites haven't even been sent out yet. I'm sure we'll get more. :)

I hope my forgetting you wasn't an omen that you're going to be first.

Perhaps I should make a rule that you have to survive at least until day 3.  :P

I will say that I won't turn down help on advertising it.  I think this has potential to be one of the best that I've hosted (or worst, but I'm an optimist), so getting as much people to play is always essential to having it be a truly great game.

Is this being sent to other regions?

Post by: Laurentus on June 15, 2015, 06:59:13 AM
Yes, traditionally Werewolf has been a great multi-regional event. @aternox, for example, is here from 10 000 Islands.
Title: Werewolf V signups
Post by: Michi on June 15, 2015, 03:52:40 PM
What Laurentus said.  It's something we advertise to all regions that we have relations with, because it's a great way to bring people together for something fun.

Alright, I gave this a little extra time for people to sign up, but since it's Monday, I'll close this.  The thread will be posted sometime after I get off work tonight, and I'll PM people roles during that time as well.
