Welcome to Hogwarts, the chosen location for WW 32: Harry Potter. Your hosts for the game are Madame Irma Pince (averly) and Madame Poppy Pomfrey (Pickles).
Your goal will be to survive. Whichever team is still around at the end of the game will be declared the winners. Every player will receive unique roles, both good and evil, which will influence the game.
Voting and Executions: Everyone has the chance to have a say in who is executed. Each day, you have two votes. Consider who you vote for carefully, as you do not want to kill the wrong person off! No execution votes are permitted.
Older witches may not want to admit it, but we do require a little emphasis on things you really want us to see (namely your votes), so please post them in bold, like so:
Vote: Pickles and averly
If you do not post in bold, your vote will be ignored.
You may change your mind about who to vote for, which is OK. To confirm that you wish to remove your vote for them, please unvote (also in bold) as so:
Unvote: Pickles
Once you have unvoted, you may vote for a different person. If you do not unvote, and vote for a new person, your original vote will be the only one to count.
Executions will be decided by majority. If 51% or more of the live player vote for one person, that person will be executed. Double executions are possible. In order to obtain a double execution, one person must have 76% of the vote on them, and the second, 51%. Double executions and double votes will be removed once the game gets smaller.
Death: Many people will die throughout this game, in a various assortment of ways. Once you have died, you may not post in the active game thread. A separate thread for the dead and those not playing the game to post in will exist. Additional rules will be posted in this thread. Please keep in mind that it is possible to be resurrected after you have died, and be brought back into the game. If this happens, you will receive a PM to let you know.
Roles: Everyone will receive unique roles that will allow them to change bits and pieces of how the game flows. You may not quote your role to anyone, but you may discuss it openly if you so choose. You may not reveal any teammates you might have.
Special Powers (SP): You might receive or stumble across a special power during the game. You may not discuss what this power is until after you have used it, but you may mention that you have a special power.
Shields: Everyone starts with a shield. Your shield is your protection against death. If you are executed and survive, your shield will go down 30%. If you survive a night or day attack, your shield will go down 15%. It is possible for your shield to be raised by various powers.
Day: Days will be from approximately 10:30PM CST (8:30PM NST, 3:30AM GMT) (after night is posted) until 10PM CST (8PM NST, 3:00AM GMT). During this time, you may discuss as much as you want, vote, uses role abilities or special powers, and submit your lists (including locations).
Execution: Executions will be promptly at 10PM CST (8PM NST, 3:00AM GMT). Just as a reminder, executions will be based on only the bolded votes.
Night: Night will be posted at approximately 10:30PM CST (8:30PM NST, 3:30AM GMT) Once night is posted, the next day begins.
There will be no break for weekends (the day/night cycle will continue as normal).
Lists:Many roles require nightly action. All lists must be submitted by Execution time (10PM CST, 8PM NST, 3AM GMT). Any lists received after this time will not be counted. The sooner you can turn in your lists, the better. Lists should be submitted to BOTH Pickles and averly. Because Lists are important to the game, they are taken seriously. You will be granted a pardon for the first missed list, but if you miss a second one, your shield will go down 5% and you will be warned. If you miss a third one, you will be modkilled.
Locations: Everyone will be required to select a location every night to stay, whether or not they are required to submit a nightlist. Locations can have an effect on the game, so are mandatory. If you do not have a nightlist to submit, submit a PM with the following title “WW – your name – Location - Night X” and include where you would like to stay for the night. Otherwise, include your desired location in your nightlists. Similar to lists, the three-strike rule applies. Locations should be submitted to BOTH Pickles and averly.
Available locations are: -Great Hall (default) -Quidditch Pitch -Prefect's Bathroom -Library -Owlery -Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom -Hospital Wing -Dormitories
Items: There will be a small assortment of items available during the game. They can be passed between players along with nightlists. If you end up with an item, and wish to give it to someone else, simply include it in your nightlist. You may only hold one item at a time.
Inactivity: While not posting or voting will not get you modkilled, it will likely not make the other players very happy with you. However, your nightlists are imperative. Once again, 3 missed lists, and you will be modkilled. If you will be inactive for a short period of time, please PM both of us and let us know ahead of time if possible.
Miscellaneous rules: -Obey all forum rules. -You may not quote anything I have PMed you. -You may not quote private conversations with other players unless all involved PM me their consent as well as the conversation in question. -All posts from avelry and Pickles will be in dark green to distinguish from regular posts. Please do not post in this color. -Scenes will be posted in spoilers. Please be careful what you say on the board, as you don’t want someone lurking to have any part of the books spoiled for them. Please use spoiler tags if you want to say something that might be considered a spoiler.

What seemed like a normal Quidditch match had been abruptly interrupted by a piercing scream. Fzun pointed into the sky at the ominous dark mark now hovering over the castle turrets. Mass panic ensued until averly (Madame Pince) took over the loudspeaker and ordered everyone into the Great Hall. Pickles (Madame Pomphrey) awaited their arrival, checking each person as they entered to make sure there were not injuries. Once everyone was inside safely, she closed the doors with a loud bang. Princess Miyu jumped at the sound, and everyone’s eyes followed Pickles as she joined averly at the podium. “I’m afraid there’s bad news,” Pickles announced, looking about the room. Dyl winced and Siniri shuddered. “We found Cho Chang’s body in the hall. She has been murdered.” A collective gasp rose from the group. averly looked around. “It would appear that there are murderers in our midst. It’s up to you to figure out who they are. We will have daily executions, held in the Room of Requirement.” “During the days, you are free to roam the castle and grounds, but at night, you will need to select one of the locations that has been set up and stay there,” Pickles continued. “Good luck,” averly concluded. “You’re gonna need it.”
Roles have been distributed. Please notify myself and averly if you have not received yours. "Daily Location Required" is just a reminder that whether or not your role requires nightly lists, it does require you to pick a nightly location.
