The vast majority of you will get mail saying:
You are a VILLAGER
Amongst your fellow VILLAGERS are an indeterminate, minority number of werewolves.
You are at risk of being eaten each night. Each time night occurs, a VILLAGER will be eaten by a WOLF. When that happens, they are out of the game.
It is up to the VILLAGERS to vote en-masse the next day for who they think was responsible for the killing, and who is to be lynched (also out of the game).
The WOLVES will of course masquerade as VILLAGERS and try to swing the vote to protect themselves.
An unknown number of you will get this instead:
You are a WOLF
Your fellow wolves are:
*snip*
As a WOLF in the game it is your role to plot in secret with your fellow wolves about how to slowly pick off the VILLAGERS.
Each game-night the WOLVES will contact me by mail with the decision of who to kill. The WOLVES will then hide in plain sight, pretending to be VILLAGERS, and voting as normal.
The WOLVES win if they manage to kill every VILLAGER with at least 1 WOLF left alive.
One or more person(s) will get this:
You are a SEER
Unlike an ordinary VILLAGER, each night you can ask me to reveal to you in secret what one person's true role is.
You will start masquerading as an ordinary VILLAGER, but it will be up to you if you reveal your powers.
It becomes complicated 'going public' because, for instance, a WOLF may well claim that they are a SEER and you in turn may raise suspicion amongst your fellow players. In any case, you will be picked off quite quickly if you tell people what you are.
One or more person(s) will get this:
You are an ANGEL
Unlike an ordinary VILLAGER, each night you ask me to in secret to protect a fellow player.
You will start masquerading as an ordinary VILLAGER, but it will be up to you if you reveal your powers.
It becomes complicated 'going public' because, for instance, a WOLF may well claim that they are an ANGEL and you in turn may raise suspicion amongst your fellow players. In any case, you will be picked off quite quickly if you tell people what you are.
Be careful - there may be a situation where you accidentally protect a WOLF.
One or more person(s) will get this:
You are a VIGILANTE
Unlike an ordinary VILLAGER, you have two bullets, and can shoot any player of your choosing at night.
You have two bullets for the whole game, so you can either use them immediately, to make the most of them, or save them, but risk dying before they are used - it's your choice!
Be careful - there may be a situation where you accidentally shoot a special villager!
One or more person(s) will get this:
You are a MUSE
Unlike an ordinary VILLAGER, you have a one-time ability - to copy another player.
If that player has a special role then, if you out-last them, then at their point of death, then you will take over their role. You can fire straight away, as a blind guess, or wait until you have a bit more information and make an educated guess - it is up to you. If you copy a VILLAGER, then you immediately take their role too.
Be careful - there may be a situation where you accidentally copy a WOLF.
