A minor clarification about the baner and the gravedigger. The gravedigger can choose once during the game to bring back a vampire from the dead. This doesn't work on the gravedigger himself, nor does it work once the gravedigger is dead. If the baner banes the wolves' target or banes a wolf when there is only one wolf remaining the kill doesn't happen. If the baner banes a wolf when there are still two wolves left, then there is a 50% chance for the kill to happen. Oh, and in case it wasn't clear, there are 2 wolves.

The night passed without further incident. Vampires drank the blood of humans, killing some in the process, but that was the way of things. It was dawn. On a hill overlooking the town two figures could be seen silhouetted against the rising sun. "It's time," one of the figures said. A female voice, but deep and throaty. "Give it another fifteen minutes. Time for them all to take their daily sleep," replied the other, in a soft, almost sensual male voice. Three hours earlier in the waning hours of the night, when the Kindred still roamed the streets an anonymous note had been slipped inside an anonymous letterbox. It troubled the two figures on the crest of the hill that someone knew where the Society of Leopold had set up in Goldendown. But the fact remained that this someone had given them the location of the Prince the previous night. And this night, the writing on the slip of paper could not have been simpler. Victoria Rowan 24 Westham Road in the attic A mobile phone rang, and the male figure on the crest of the hill replied. "You're ready? Good. Have the mercenaries also arrived? Tell them to meet us outside 1 Westham Road. We'll move in from there." He replaced the phone in his pocket and then turned to his companion. "Let's go." One might say that disturbing a vampire in its sleep is taking an unfair advantage of circumstances. But then again, when a mortal wants to kill one of the immortal, it is wise to take every possible advantage. Victoria Rowan was unable to put up such a fight as the prince had during the previous night. Still, three of the twelve mercenaries died. "Here's your payment, Mr. Jones." The leader of the mercenaries took the offered suitcase, then looked on in surprise as another bundle of cash was being handed to him. "This is for your silence about what you saw here tonight. I might be calling you again tomorrow." For the three remaining Society of Leopold members it was time to pray. As soon as the mercenaries left, they fell to their knees and thanked their God for the strength he gave them in their continuing struggle against these unnatural creatures. "God! Let faith allow us to cleanse this city of their filth!" OOC: It is now nightphase again. You have 48 hours from the timestamp of this post (knowing that I won't be too punctual with the ends of phases ) to vote, backstab and decide on who you want to lynch. If anyone wants to make a request that in the eventuality of their death they want to write their own demise, be sure to PM me.

I haven't heard back from Lilac yet, so the roles have just been sent out. If I don't fall asleep I'll start the first nightphase (which is lynching phase in this game) soon.

Happy birthday Tanny! *pouncetacklehug*

Game thread is up! Roles shall be PM'd in 24 hours, until then feel free to RP freely. Current ingame time is about 10-11 pm. Players are: Tanuchan - Lilah Lestrand - Tremere Mithrandin - Osidian - Assamite Finnius - Francis - Malkavian Merelas - Sylas - Nosferatu Venefyxatu - Andreas Giovanni - Giovanni Savage Dragon - Simon Hopkins - Brujah Gryphon - Billi Zane - Ventrue Mardrax - Francesca San Gioveto - Lasombra Lilacflame (?) (PM'd her)

The primogen, Elders of the city did not take long to arrive. Each of them flanked by one or two bodyguards, they rapidly assembled. It seemed that after just half an hour the death of Milosh Maundrell, the previous, Toreador prince, great lover of arts and collector of Picasso paintings, was already public knowledge among the Kindred of Goldendown. Stepping over a torn Picasso painting, the frame shattered next to it, the Ventrue primogen was the first to speak. His voice was somber and measured, as aristocratic as all the stereotypes about clan Ventrue led to believe. "The wretched vampire-hunting Kine dealt our city a great blow today. We, the Elders wish for a rapid succession, to have a new prince as soon as possible. The Masquerade must be upheld and the power vacuum might attract the damned Sabbat. Candidates shall have to prove themselves in the coming days. We shall make our decision after a certain time." The vampires dispersed slowly, leaving alone or in groups of two. The police would arrive soon and they did not want to be around for when they arrived.

Really enjoyed reading this first part, Mynx. Skielah goes from helpless female to powerful killing machine and it was really interesting to see you write the transformation. Eagerly looking forward for more.

Happy belated birthdays!

Happy birthday Reverie! Hope the day was great!

Welcome back! I hope your journey went really well!

Found a free WiFi network at Geneva airport! Your playing is definitely worth explanation time Lilac! Tanny beat me to pointing out the rules of the WW games in general, if you still have any questions (or are still lost) feel free to shoot a PM my way and I'll reply as soon as I can.

Great character description Finnius! I'll be gone until thursday evening, travelling back to Hungary for our spring break. I'll answer any questions when I get back home.

If you know little of the setting feel free to prod me in MSN (patrick (at) windbringer (dot) net) or via PM. Edit: or on IRC under Patrick.

Yep, that's right.

For those who don't know much about the setting, here are a few useful Wiki links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_The_Masquerade http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clans_in_Vamp..._the_Masquerade

Werewolf XXXIII is hereby open for signups! There shall be three (or four) special roles in this game: -wolf: wolf(ves) are vampires who act outside the normal rules and who hire mercenaries to kill their opponents during the daytime, when they are sleeping -baner: the baner is a vampire who wants to avoid or at worst lessen the chaos caused by the succession and thus tries to prevent killings -gravedigger: the gravedigger is, through a trait of blood passed down from Cain himself, able to bring a vampire back from the dead once during the game. -seer (if 7 or more players): practicing arcane magical arts, the seer is able to find out the true motivations of a vampire. Non-Camarilla vampires/clans are also allowed, their objective shall not to be the new prince of Goldendown, but to weaken the Camarilla sufficiently to be able to establish a foothold themselves in town. PM alliances are allowed, but CC all PMs (alternatively MSN or IRC logs) to me so that I know what is going on behind the scenes. Roles shall not be revealed when someone is wolfed or lynched. The game shall end when only two players remain. The prince and his most trusted advisor shall be chosen from them. Or if a non-Camarilla vampire is among the winners, then the town might not have a prince or be split amongst the new prince and the non-Camarilla. Also due to the nature of vampires, day and nightphases are inversed. Lynchings occur during nightphase, while the specials actions happen during the day. Sign ups shall be open until Sunday night. Edit: just for clarification: votes during lynchphases are public and not PM'd.

Congratulations to the villagers!
