RE: Werewolf XXII: The Reign of Terror - Day 1 Ends August 2nd
Based on the flavor, it's much safer to say that the scum are either the nobility or Marat, Robespierre and their revolution gang (funny, considering Marat wanted to kill Robespierre and vice-versa, but still). The Reign of Terror in the French Revolution is the bad ending of a great revolution, where a France fighting wars inside and outside borders began a relentless assault on pretty much everyone that was of noble ancestry (with a few exceptions, like the great Talleyrand). It's hard to assume who the scum team is, though, due to a contradiction. The ones with the power to kill were the revolutionary government. The ones wanted dead were the nobles. Usually, in a WW game, those with the power to kill are the scum who are wanted dead.
A possible setting could be that the revolutionaries (Marat, Robespierre) and the citizens (merchants, journalists, beggars etc.) are the townspeople, who vote/decide on who the nobles, aka the scum, are. The scum are the former French nobility, or people working for them in order to take out the revolutionaries and avoid death themselves. Finally, the indies could be people from other countries trapped in France and wishing to escape (survivor indies) or those French who considered the Reign of Terror extremism and wanted the leaders of the Revolution taken out (like the great Charlotte Corday, who murdered Marat) and their wincons involve killing/outliving certain players. Perhaps TheGuy can enlighten us more as to his setting, unless of course he wishes to hide it by troubling us over which roles are scummy and which aren't.
Celever said:What IS obvious is that the announcer will operate through that newspaper and that the werewolves are a bunch of rich tyrants. I don't really see room for a wolf here, but I also haven't done the French Revolution at school yet. I don't even know if I will!Basically I know nothing about the war itself so all assumptions on roles etc. wil be derived from the flavour.

##Vote: Reinforce
Just what are you trying to reinforce, anyway? Monarchy? Guillotine him!
And by the way Chaos Jackal, all that theorizing over the setup of the game was a bit frivolous - it's explained in the OP that the revolutionaries are the town and the royals are the scum.

Oh right, thanks for clearing that up, too! It certainly makes sense.
So, day 1... RVS... This is pretty boring, don't you think?
Oh right. Thanks for pointing it out to me, I didn't think to check the number of players. Although WanderingWolf might not be playing even now, so that would only be 2 people unable to vote. IDRK the situation on James,Cinesra said:

Oh thanks for reminding me. I will probably be "viewing" this thread a lot because I don't close tabs on my iPad. I almost always turn safari off (as in delete processes to it completely and utterly) but should I forget it'll show me as viewing this place.
