COVID-19 / Virtual Play Modifications
Modified Wording & Characters
In the rules and guides, any instances of the phrases of “tapped by the Narrator” (or similar) are implied to be replaced with “privately message by the Narrator”.
All players should check the chat upon waking up— for whatever reason they are waking up— to know if they are in love, charmed, etc. before making decisions.
Cupid: Once called, Cupid will private message the Narrator their request of two players to make in love. The Narrator will then private message each lover, letting them know who they are in love with.
Piper: Once called, the Piper will private message the Narrator their request of two players to charm each night. The Narrator will then private message a completed list of all charmed players to all charmed players. This is in place of the charmed playings waking up and seeing one another.
Gameplay
If you are out of the game, please turn off you camera.
When voting, please keep your hand clearly raised on camera until asked to lower it.
If your internet connection affects your ability to play fairly, you may be asked to rejoin for a future game after your connection stabilizes.
Don’t forget to mute your mic before the night phase— or as you see needed!
Chat
Players may private chat with each other over Zoom.
Texting using your phone is heavily discouraged and considered cheating— just like games IRL— and the use of group text threads is strictly prohibited.
Public chat from players who are dead or in jail is allowed, but the subject matter cannot involve the game in any way.
You may private message the Narrator at any point to clarify rules or character and item abilities.
Blighted
The Blighted is an innocent character, but is unknowingly spreading a terrible disease amongst the village.
This disease is a mutated form of lycanthropy that the player is immune to, but can still spread to others.
The infection is decided by a player’s name being drawn at random. Each night, right before sunrise, the Narrator taps who the Blighted has randomly infected. The day phase is the incubation period; no changes take place until sunset.
The results of an infection vary based on character:
Wolf Cub:
This player dies from the mutated lycanthropy. The death is announced at the sunset of the following day.
Village Elder, Village Idiot, or Peeking Girl:
These characters have a week immune system and cannot fight the mutated disease. These characters become a Werewolf the following night, secretly after sunset.
