Werewolves Revamped

Hellhound [Werewolf Group]

Basics

All the Hellhounds have a secret channel where they can communicate with the other Hellhounds securely.

Details

Hellhounds are the werewolf version of bakers. These werewolves know from each other that they are Hellhounds, and they can use and share this information in their battle against the white werewolf. Sometimes it is, and sometimes it is not, in the interest of the werewolf team to immediately inform the rest of the werewolves that they are Hellhounds. If a Hellhound betrays the group in any way (by changing alignment or role) the Hellhounds are immediately disbanded.

@Jimrah (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ are you already familiar with the basics of werewolf/mafia?

yeah i am i have played it irl before but there was not as many rules and roles and i have also played a little town of salem

alright, so this time you're a wolf. Based on the role list in #information (which unfortunately isnt very useful to you as you dont know the roles yet) you know that there cant be any wolf traitors in the game, this means you can completely trust the people in #wolfpack

22:08

Those are most (but not all) of the other wolves

22:08

Under no circumstances leak who is in that channel. For advice on strategies and such that is the channel to go to

22:10

Your role is unfortunately rather useless. The Hellhounds are usually another group within the wolfpack which is only relevant in games where there can be wolf traitors (however this time there can't be any). This may raise the question why this role would be put in the game when its useless this time (maybe the other wolves have an idea)

22:10

You can look up all our roles with the . command which gives you a simplified summary, e.g. .citizen

So i am guessing that it is ok to tell the other wolves that i am a hellhound?

It is!

you can trust them with any information this time

22:12

the other wolves have already shared their roles too

22:13

usually one wolf will start compling a list of what role everyone says they are, this hasn't been done yet by anyone so you just need to go through the messages in #wolfpack but its not a lot yet anyway

idk if i am blind but i looked in the rule book and it says there is always more than one Hellhound is this true? it looks like i am the only one in the hellhounds channel

This is usually true, however this time you're alone

22:16

This means your role pretty much does nothing. The only functional difference this time is that Hellhound is considered a WG (Werewolf Group) role instead of a WM (Werewolf Miscellaneous) like the vanilla Wolf.

22:16

These categories are listed in the role list in #information

22:18

Most of the time we share the full role list, but this time only some parts are shared. "TG", "TI", "WG", "UAM" etc are all categories of roles (these categories can also be looked up via a command like .tg which gives a list of roles in that category)

ah ok thank you this is a lot of information but i will try my best to remember it

If you have any questions at all you can always ask us here in this channel

22:22

And for strategy advice you can also try asking your team in #wolfpack

I will and one last question what is the poll for in the wolf chat and why do people want to vote random

Each night the wolves can kill one player. Its the first night now. The killing is done via the poll, whoever gets the most votes will be attacked by the wolves (and likely die)

22:25

Attacking random is a bad strategy, but oftetimes the wolves don't have anything to work with and attack randomly in the first night

ah ok makes sense so voting random is only an ok thing to do first round when you have no info

its usually better to try to gather information, but the wolves often are too uncoordinated to do this in Night 1
