On Thursday night at ZenKaiKon, upon our room reaching critical mass, one Dan Howard decided that the room would play a rousing game of Werewolf. We, being a rowdy and quite game bunch, agreed. Many of us were also drunk. Your humble narrator was already fully in the bag, and about to get even more so. And so almost the whole room joined in and put their heads down. Or rather, most of us. Mr. Ellis was heavily engrossed in a game of FTL at the time and so only had to spin his chair around. Pay attention to that fact, it'll come in handy in a moment.
For those uninitiated, a game of Werewolf goes like this: First, the Narrator deals out a bunch of cards. One person is the Werewolf, and one person is the Hunter. Everyone else is Townspeople. The Narrator begins telling their soon-to-be blood-soaked story and instructs everyone to put their heads down. Then the Narrator instructs the Werewolf to rise and point someone out to be killed during his story, and instructs the Hunter to rise and point out one person to investigate. The Hunter is then told that the person is the werewolf, or that they are not. Then everyone puts their heads up, the person who has been "killed" is out, and everyone begins accusing and voting on who is the killer. If a consensus is reached, the players have "lynched" the person they voted for, and they are also out of the game. If said lynched person is the Werewolf, the game ends. If said lynched person is the Hunter, they've just made their job harder. Anyone else, and the game continues. So here goes:
