They came in peace. The year was 2042 when first contact was made. Our first colony on Mars triggered the event. Mankind had finally adventured out beyond its local space and the alien race, we simply called ET., chose to make contact. Communication was very difficult but it became apparent they meant us no harm. After one year they left in peace. Eleven years later, they came again. Wild rumors began spreading over the internet about abductions, and strange behavior. Governments kept dismissing it as fake news until one ET got too close to the president and it was killed. As the alien laid there bleeding something happened. A rather large creature ruptured from the alien’s body. It lunged for a security guard and was shot and killed. Autopsy showed it was a parasite that controlled the mind and body of its host. The aliens became more aggressive. Luckily they were a peaceful race and had very few weapons. It took more than a year but ever last ET was wiped out. But the parasite remained buried in human hosts. Detection was difficult as they would adapt by mimicking vital organs. Scans were near useless as everything inside the body would appear normal. No test was ever found that could detect the alien parasites presence except for death of the host. People had to always be on guard, sleep in locked rooms. Humanity lost hope, many accepted their fate as the next step in evolution but many still fought back. And that is where our story begins…

Zarathud investigates Remus West Your job as a reporter is to seek out the truth. Any little bit of a rumor no matter how farfetched is worth investigating. You have made numerous startling discoveries in your few years as a reporter thanks to your diligence at following leads. When you were looking through the latest police files you found something interesting. Remus West was reported missing two days ago but eventually showed back up to his house a day later. The case was closed. Why was the case closed? The police should have followed up with questions. You wondered if he was under surveillance. You decide to check for yourself. Towns these days were very small walled in fortresses with small groups governing the people. It did not take long to find Remus house. You stake out a position near his door. At 2AM you see him leave. He heads to a small park and you see him meet up with two other folks. The breakup and disappear into the town. They are up to no good. Remus West is being controlled by a parasite. El Guapo protects himself You’ve had an uneasy feeling all day, not sure why, but you always trust your instincts. You stay diligent throughout the night. You watch some TV, read a few more chapters of your book. A dog barks; you turn on the outside lights and check out the window for any movement. Something moved, was it the dog? Whatever it was, it is gone. You are not sure if you have wasted your time but you are alive another day. Remus West scans Archinerd The Alpha was successful in implanting two parasites before the third victim died. Won’t be long before the town knows what is happening. You decide to go on the offensive and try to find out what some of these folks do for a living. Your target tonight is Archinerd. You find his house and peer inside. It is dark and you cannot see much even with your enhanced vision. You check out his car and you see an apron and name tag. It’s from the nearby food distribution center. Archinerd works in the food industry and is no threat to you. Parasites target El Guapo El Guapo was your next target for conversion but after two successful implants with Grundbegriff and Remus West, the third attempt was a failure and Kenetickid died. The town will be alert to your presence when they find the body. You need to start killing them before they discover you. A successful implants takes at least 25 hours, and time is no longer a luxury. El Guapo must die now. You approach his house, ready to release the killer parasite when a dog appears from the bushes. It growls and begins barking. An outside light flicks on and you see someone at the window. Your cover blown you retreat. Your mission failed. 6:30 AM The public video monitors flashed the breaking news. Overnight authorities discovered a body, the entry wound in the neck an obvious failed parasite implant. The victim died during the attempted conversion. The body was identified as Kenetickid. Many of the town folk panicked and fled. A few remained to fight and save their town. They knew the parasite was still here, they never run. No player died during the night.

Newcastle is chosen As dusk approached many did not want to be outside in the dark. Many had trepidations about Newcastle but someone had to be tested. After Archinerd swung his vote away from Scoop to Newcastle, the town folk next to Newcastle grabbed his arms and held him down as the drugs were administered. Some were hopeful, Newcastle’s temperament was off, normally he’d be full of piss and vinegar, lashing out at folks but he was calm and subdued. Odd behavior indeed. As Newcastle took his last breath people stood back and waited. Remus West held the shotgun anxiously. Nothing left his body until his bowels released; that was not what they were looking for. Newcastle was not infected with a parasite.
As everyone heads off to their homes, RMC asks out loud. "Who gave Remus West the shotgun? I want a gun! I'm afraid he will use it on me" RMC remembers all the feuds with Remus over the past few years making him really nervous. "Relax," Remus says, "It's loaded with plastic pellets. Sure it would hurt like hell to us but it will shred the parasite to bits." "Hmph, may be true but I still don't like you having it." Remus shakes his head, "Someone else can have it tomorrow."

NIGHT 2
Remus West scan Zarathud
Is Zarathus hiding something? He remained in the background most of the day occasionally speaking up. You decide he is worth investigating. You follow him to his house and wait before approaching the house. AS you step from the bush his back door opens. You see him emerge and head off into the shadows away from the street lights. He’s up to something. You follow far behind. At one point you lose him but he reappears 30 minutes later and you see him head back to his house. Whatever he was doing you know it’s probably not something that you like. Zarathud is a special. Zarathud scans Holman You follow Holman to his home and wait. After a few hours he never leaves. You pull out your datapad and log onto the public notice site and see no records for Holman. You do a little more research and hacking but nothing comes up that seems out of place. Holman is not infected with a parasite. El Guapo protects Scoop You set out toward Scoops house. You don’t what is up with him. Maybe a parasite that is mentally challenged infected him. Are their special needs parasites? If he is not infected maybe the parasites will try to take him out because they are as confused as us. You know you probably have a big target on your head also, but first rules of being an agent is not to protect yourself all the time, you are here to help the public. You feel something on your leg then you feel many things on your leg. You stop and starting brushing your pants. You feel thing moving up your body like ants and then they are on your face. You start swiping and swatting rapidly. You feel them enter your ears and nose. They are inside you! Your mind races, “Oh no, I’m infected!” You lose your balance and collapse. You land face down in a cup of Salsa. A little splashes in your mouth. “Yum. That taste like Moe’s El Guapo Salsa. Oh this would be hilarious if I wasn’t dying.” You lose consciousness. You are dead. Parasites kill El Guapo Tonight you decide to be more careful as you approach for the kill. El Guapo must be taken out. As you approach you see him leave his house. That was unexpected. It is time for the little ones to do their job. You open your mouth and hundreds of tiny devastator parasites fly out. They land in the path of El Guapo and wait. You see El Guapo stop and start wiping his pant legs. Pretty soon he is thrashing about and then you see him collapse. Mission accomplished. El Guapo is dead. Grundbegriff blocks scan on himself To be safe you decide tonight you will make sure no one is snooping around your place trying to spy on you. You take position near your house and begin the war screech in your native language. It is a very intimidating sound and the humans have learned to avoid an area when they hear that sound. You do this several times throughout the night. If anyone was trying to spy on you they would have been too afraid to even approach your neighborhood. Morning-Day 2 As everyone gathers at the town center, dark clouds begin to gather on the horizon. A storm was approaching. Grundbegriff begins directing everyone into the Council Hall. “Come on everyone, get in before it starts raining.” As the last one enters Grundbegriff’s realizes two are missing. He looks around for El Guapo. Just as he feared, he is missing. “Who is missing besides El Guapo?” A murmur starts through the crowd. “I don’t see Scoop,” Zarathud blurts out. About that time there is a banging at the door. Moliere rushes over and sees a wet Scoop through the glass. Moliere unlatches the door. Scoop rushes in. “El Guapo’s dead. Found him face down on the sidewalk. I thought his face was ripped up but he had landed into this cup of Moe’s salsa.” Scoop hold up the crushed cup. “Not sure if this is a clue or not so I brought it along.” “It’s the parasites. I think we all know they killed him.” Punisher says. “he probably was just eating the salsa when he died.” Scoop nods, “Yea, probably so.” He licks his finger. “Hmmm, I think it’s the El Guapo flavored salsa.” Someone in the crowd snickers.

Yeah, I'm mildly surprised by the wolves as well, though to be honest I did not invest a *ton* of time analyzing after my successful self-protect, seeing as how I was going to be out of the game shortly (and was kind of busy IRL anyway).
Also kind of surprised that I was the night 0 target, even though that worked out fine.

I thought Zarathud may come out today since he had a wolf in hand and the wolves have a seer.

hey lassr - any chance of getting access to the wovles forum?
Also- I bet the wolves have this. If zarathud doesn't come out today, they will grab him tonight.
Tonight the wolves snack on zarathud
Tomorrow - the village should lynch grund, since he's not helping.
Tomorrow night - the wolves take out unagi
That will leave BB & Remus to toy with the villagers.
Also, i kind think that unagi was a bit harsh on scoop his little rant last night. Its truthful, scoop did do much harm to the village I think. El Guapo might have been able to hide another night (not sure depends on how the wolves read the situation).

I'll put this here to discuss as dead people show up.
This had crossed my mind before but it makes the protector super powerful so there would have to be some power to counter it on the wolf side. In this game situation, they could not target El Guapo the next night and he would be protected the third night. Not a huge deal at the beginning of the game but a game changer mid game or end game.

Maybe make it so that the protector can only protect 1 person per game; or once they protect that person they can't protect on the third night? So 2 nights protection; next night off.
Or maybe it leaves some trails as to who they are...ie the wolves can extra scan the following night and they can ask: is x (or 2-3 targets) the protector?
and the protector cant self protect?
