It’s awfully hard for a Townie to “protect” a Townie in any meaningful sense. The value of a protection of this sort would be worth way less than the risk entailed in choosing to bite. Under this rule-set, the Vampire would be best suited to mostly not bite - except, perhaps, to target the Detective if he is uncovered.
I can see a few other problems, but I think maybe I shouldn’t mention them until further clarification arrives.
Also, let’s try to keep a lid on analysis until roles have gone out please. But you can feel free to PM either mod or both with questions/ concerns. Just keep it out of the game thread for now.
Players who are bitten by Dracula will become Vampires and will investigate as such by the Constable. They will be told the identity of Dracula. Vampires cannot discuss strategy at Night.
No, vampires are vampires. Town is town. Werewolves are werewolves. If you change sides (become a vamp, revert to town) you will be informed. Let me check with USC on one other fact about vampires that I think we left out of the basic description.
Like I said, we will repost claified roles/rules with the color of the game. Once they are set I will put them all as my sig so you can reference later.
The Werewolves win if their number is greater than or equal to the number of Town players at the end of the Day and Dracula is dead.
Vampire: Continues to act as a Townsperson during the Day. Knows who Dracula is, but not the other Vampires. Reverts to their original role if Dracula is killed.
USC and I just talked and agreed that it wasn’t made clear how the win conditions work.
In order for the werewolves to win all non werewolves must be eliminated (or it becomes a mathmatical impossibilty for it to be otherwise, i.e. they reach majority and Dracula is not in the game to achive his own win condition.)
For Town to win all non town must be eliminated.
For Vampires to win they have to reach majority by the time the wolves or town are all eliminated.
They are functionally equivalent.
If W >= T+V and V is non-zero, then there is no way for Town or Dracula to stop the werewolves. It would just be a matter of time for W to kill off everyone else (i.e., the Wolves control both the Day Lynch and Night Kill).
