THE RETURN OF WEREWOLF PRETHREAD

So this Mafia thing still seems to be going strong here. That is good...good.

Okay, for those of you who didn't play or know about it way back when, I used to run a bot on IRC that automated games of Werewolf (a Mafia variant) that people could just jump into and play any time they wanted. It's quicker and less strategic than forum Mafia, but when it's quicker it's a LOT quicker. Plus I can pretty much add any roles or flavour anyone wants and they don't have to wait around while the mod gets things ready or figures out what needs to happen when, it's all done for you.

Now this bot is no longer active, but now that I'm back here I want to bring the bot back as well. I'm probably going to do this even if nobody wants to play because I love IRC scripting and it'll give me something to do in my downtime, but what would be just marvellous would be if there were people who were going to take advantage of my hard work in the name of fun.

What am I asking of you? Basically come and try out the game, when I get it back up and running. I'm going to do a new version of the bot from scratch (again) so things'll be rough around the edges for a few weeks, but you can all feel free to suggest any special rules, roles, flavours, or game commands you want. As long as it's within my power to code, I'll add it.

Feel free to pop into #werewolf on irc.dynastynet.net; the bot isn't going to be working immediately but I'll need testers throughout the development process anyway.
