Step-by-Step Guide
-
Step 1: Understand how the game works.
There is a night and day cycle.
At night, the wolves pick whom to kill, while everyone else "sleeps".
Then, when they wake up, the villagers discover that one of them has gone missing or died, so they will discuss who might be the wolf.
The villagers lynch their guess, hoping it's a wolf.
The villagers win if they kill all the wolves; the wolves win if there are the same number of them as villagers. -
Step 2: Now that you've found out how the game works
In the daytime, you lynch (or vote on who to kill).
You try to narrow down who the wolf(s) is/are.
To vote for a lynch, enter the following into the chat: !lynch namehere.
The bot will also accept part of the nickname.
Village Drunk
- Only role is to serve as an identifiable villager.
The village drunk does not have any special commands.
Harlot
- The Harlot has the ability to visit people each night, to verify that someone is not a wolf.
If you visit a wolf, or if you visit someone who gets killed by a wolf, you will die.
You will not die if the wolf tries to kill you and you're not home.
Watch for a query from pywolf detailing instructions to follow.
Type !visit <name> in a private query to pywolf (not the IRC channel where the other players can see what you say).
Seer
- The Seer is one of the most valuable roles in the game, either to kill or keep alive.
When you're Seer, you can have a vision every night, to see the role of any other player.
To see someone, type !see <namehere>.
However, the seer will see a cursed villager as a wolf and a traitor as a normal villager.
Gunner
- The Gunner has two bullets.
You can chose to shoot during the day, and see if you shot a wolf.
To shoot, just type !shoot namehere.
You may do this in the IRC channel, so other people can see that you're not the wolf because you have bullets! Traitor
- When all of the wolves are dead, the traitor becomes a wolf.
Guardian Angel
- (GA) The Guardian Angel can save someone each night, but if he or she saves a wolf, he or she could die.
Detective
- (det) The Detective is similar to a Seer.
This player can see roles of other players in the day.
The Detective can see who is the traitor and cursed villager, but there's a chance he or she will reveal to a wolf when using his or her powers.
