Werecrow

The biggest server event since its inception in September of 2019, Werecrow has been a huge part of the identity of the server and works as both a fun game, and amazing source of entertaining memes. It is a monthly text based game founded by Remy, and has remained as one of the most infamous things in Crow's Nest.

What is Werecrow?
Werecrow is a mafia.gg variant game, that involves 2 parties working to take each other out. It's known as a game of deceit, information manipulation, and strategy.

Parties
The usual game of Werecrow will have 2 parties, Town, and Anti. Some games though, have a Third Unaligned Party, that can interfere with either Town, or Anti. The Town Party, are the largest party in a usual game, and have at least 1 Mayor role, 2 Detective roles, 1 Doctor role, and some Killing Role, such as One Shot. Anti on the other hand, is the smallest party in a game, consisting of usually 4-7 players. Anti roles usually have a Janitor role, Roleblock role, Troll role, and the controversial Alpha role. The Third party does not have a consistent role load out, but a Diddler role is the most common Third Party role given in the games. At the end of each day, all players must have made a Vote, in which the player with the highest votes will be executed, and removed from the game, revealing their party affiliation.

Goals
Both parties have the same goal, take the other party out. Town wins once every Anti has been killed in some form, and Anti wins once their Vote Power is equivalent to Town's (Vote Power is affected by roles, that either party may have). Third party roles all have their own separate goals, and are almost never the same.

Gameplay
The game is split into two phases, a Day phase, and a Night phase. Each phase takes up about half a real world day, meaning a full day in game is a full day in real time. During the day phase, all players can communicate and discuss the game, trading info, misleading others, giving up their role, or voting on a player they want to execute. By the end of the day phase, all players are locked from talking in the main channel, votes are counted, and the player is executed, starting the Night phase. In the Night phase, Anti can communicate with themselves and plan who to kill, while special Town roles, like Detectives, or Doctor, can use minor actions that will help the Day phase information trade. Players may not talk outside of game chats, nor can they give up information that could ruin the game (such as revealing who all the anti are, if you are anti). A full game of Werecrow takes up about a week and a half to complete.

Werecrow in Crow's Nest
Each game of Werecrow has had its own special theme, and different Game Master, or Werecrow Moderator, since November 2019, to help diversify the game, and give members a chance to try something new and refreshing. Because of this, each game has even had its own special gimmick from time to time. The following is a chronological list of games, with who moderated them, the theme, and what party won, and whatever special gimmicks they might've had.

2020 Games Special Gimmicks
Ghosty's game had a similar information mechanic, and a special haunting mechanic that involved dead players opening a chat with a living player, that if that player died, all the people in that players chat will transfer to whoever the newly dead player chose to haunt.

Salti's game added Items, that could be given or traded with players during their night actions. Each item had a special effect that changed the gameplay for the day phase in some way.
