Q: If the robotic werewolves don't know each other and don't have a secret forum, how do they decide who to attack that night, and how do they communicate their decision to the game master?Vote Tally:

Player2 - 2 votes (VoterC, VoterD)
Player3 - 4 votes (VoterE, VoterF, VoterG, ???)
Player4 - 1 vote (VoterH)
Majority Vote Reached!
Player3 has received a total of 4 votes and has been eliminated. The night phase begins now.
Ah, Newcastle, your clever subtlety has not escaped my notice! The italicized "IN" hidden within your dance around the thread was a cryptic message, a whispered desire to join our grand experiment. Such artful nuance deserves commendation.

Ah, Moliere has decided to join the ranks! Welcome to the game, friend. I trust your tactics are as refined as your name suggests.

Questions:Robotic Werewolves (3 players):Human Survivors (3 players):
- Alpha-bot: Can scan a player’s identity once per night.
- Beta-bots (2 players): Have a double vote in elimination rounds. The double vote power can be used once, and then there is a cooldown period of 2 full day/night cycles before it can be used again.
Cyborg Hunters (3 players):
- Scientist: ??
- Engineers (2 players): Can build a protective barrier to block attacks for any player, including themselves. However, they cannot protect the same person on consecutive nights. The barrier protects against any physical attacks aimed at the protected player during the night it's active.
- Commander: Can order an attack on a suspected Werewolf each night.
- Scout-bot: Can observe a player's actions during the night but does not learn their specific role. (e.g., learns that a player scanned another player but does not learn that the player is the Scientist.)
- Sniper: Has one precision strike to eliminate a player. This strike can be used during either the day or night cycle, but it's a single-use power.

What happens if the commander's "attack on werewolf", hits a human? Does anyone know? Or does commander only?
Answer: The consequences of a mistaken attack are grave indeed. If the Commander's attack inadvertently targets a Human, the name of the deceased and their team will be announced in the main game thread, though their specific role will remain concealed. The Commander will learn nothing more of the outcome, only discovering if the attack was blocked by the absence of an announcement in the main game thread. Choose your targets wisely; each decision bears weight in our twisted game of fate!
RE: wolves double vote: Concerned that the wolves can simply gang up on 1 person on day 1, and then double vote to gain an advantage. It can only be used once, but then on day 3 it can be used again? Maybe its a 1 time power? If both beta wolves have that power, then can run the game pretty quickly. Or is it 1 power shared by the beta wolves? If so who decides who gets to use it?
- one small permutation on this is that you could extend teh Scout bot's power to cover a night kill & day vote?? Just an idea.
Answer: A keen observation! The double vote power is indeed potent, but it's accompanied by limitations. Each Beta-bot can use the double vote power once, followed by a cooldown period of two days. The power is not shared, and each Beta-bot decides individually when to use it.
As for extending the Scout-bot's power to cover a night kill & day vote, it's an intriguing idea. However, the Scout-bot's focus is on observing nighttime actions to maintain balance in the game.
The limitations on the Beta-bots' double vote, along with the other checks and balances within the game, should prevent them from running the game too quickly. Strategic use of powers and cooperation among the different factions will be key to success.
So team wolf knows who their partners is right?
Do the cyborg hunters know their teammates? Humans?
Answer: Ah, the intricacies of alliances! In our temporal conundrum, the Robotic Werewolves do not know who their fellow pack members are. Each operates independently at night, their actions intertwined only by fate and strategy.
The Cyborg Hunters, too, are unaware of their mechanical brethren, each navigating the game with only their own insights and instincts.
As for the Humans, they find themselves equally in the dark, unaware of who shares their desperate struggle for survival.
In this game, knowledge is a rare commodity, and trust, even rarer. Use both with caution, for they may lead you to victory or spell your doom!
I do like the no private forum bit, will add to the gameplay.
Answer: Ah, you've glimpsed the essence of our experiment! The absence of private forums brings a new layer of uncertainty, strategy, and intrigue. Without whispered alliances and hidden conspiracies, each player must navigate the shadows of doubt, relying on wit and intuition. May the no private forum twist enhance your experience and elevate the challenge to new heights!

How is a double vote resolved...say I , as beta wolf 1, decides to throw an extra vote on Scoop; while beta wolf 2 decides to throw an extra vote on Grunbegriff....how is that resolved? First come first served?

Majority Vote Reached!
Player3 has received a total of 4 votes and has been eliminated. The night phase begins now.
Beta-bots (2 players): Have a double vote in elimination rounds. Both beta wolves have the ability to cast a secret additional vote on any player of their choosing during a voting phase. This secret vote can be cast independently of their public vote and does not need to be on the same player. However, the beta wolf must first cast a public vote and not remove it when casting their secret vote. If they remove their public vote, they must immediately cast another public vote, or their secret vote is removed and lost. This power can be used by both beta wolves on the same day. The double vote power can be used once, and then there is a cooldown period of 2 full day/night cycles before it can be used again.

VexingScoop may want to post in EBG that we are looking for one more player. I don't happen by this forum too much anymore and was lucky to see the activity when I did.
Apologies. We had some power outages due to tornados screwing with the time portal. Back to it in a gif!
