THE RETURN OF THE RETURN OF THE RETURN OF THE RETURN OF IRC WEREWOLF.

So if you go over to irc.synirc.net today you're sure of a big surprise!

For those of you who used to play it, Werewolf is back! For those who didn't:

Werewolf is a Mafia variant. It's a party game where you have X players and a third of them are Mafia (Wolves). The game is split into day and night phases; during the day, players discuss who they think the mafia are and can vote to lynch a player. If a player gets majority, they will be lynched and their alignment revealed. One villager is secretly the Investigator (Seer) and can scan players at night to find out whether they're a villager or wolf. If all the mafia are killed, the town wins. If the mafia numbers ever exceed or equal that of the town, mafia wins.

I have created a bot that automates the game; you just have to join the channel and type !play to begin a game. It needs a fair bit of testing at the moment and a lot of the flavour text is placeholder right now. I really just want to stress test the core scripts and find any remaining bugs before I start adding power roles (additional villager/wolf roles that make the game more interesting).

So please, if you've got the time head on over to #werewolf on irc.synirc.net and help me kill some wolves!
