Whispers

in

the Woods

Small towns

are, well, small towns. Practically nameless, and of little value. Nothing truly important comes or goes from them, but they are not without their turmoil.

E

very town (especially a smaller one) has its secrets. Rumors, superstitions, whispers in the dark about things out of this world, and yet originating from their own. Most of the time, these are nothing but paranoia and pointless witch hunts which slander and shame innocent folk, with the alleged supernatural events quickly passing.

H

owever, on some rare occasions...these events of folklore and legend turn out to not be mere myth. And like many older, darker portrayals of these fairy tale creatures, they prove to be dangerous. People learn to live in an uneasy peace with monsters capable of tearing them to shreds, avoiding that unpleasant by taking passive counter-measures they can only pray keep them safe, if only for a while.

S

uch defenses can last for mere days, others may stand for decades, yet always, something disrupts the balance, forcing conflict. In those unfortunate cases, there is no resolution except aggressive retaliation, forcing an all-out war between the rabble and the hidden unknown.

I

n a small town at the edge of a much-feared mystical woods, this scenario has regrettably manifested: long has been the time since the

werewolves

have made themselves known, however, recently, attacks have resumed, and now a meeting of the hamlet's eleven leaders has been called.

A

s if deliberately sending a message, two of them never make it. Coming from abodes at opposite ends, the poor souls perish before their arrival, both at similar times. The intent could not be more clear: "We are two, and we are among you."

   , the titular
   Whispers in the Woods
   . It works as follows:
   1. At
      any time
      , day or night, you may PM me the name of
      one or two players
      you wish to talk to in private.
   2. As soon as I receive your request, I will create a quicktopic for you and that player(s) to talk in. This topic will be open for the rest of the game.
   3. You cannot add people to an existing topic. If you wish to talk to someone else, you need to create a new topic including them.
   4. There is no limit to the number of topics you can create.
   5. Please note this is still moderator-provided communication.
      This means the same rules which apply to mason/neighborhood/mafia/etc. topics apply: no sharing the link, no direct quoting from it, etc., not even to another topic. (Exception: mafia can quote any private information from a topic they share with a townie into their official mafia topic.)
      • As this is moderator-provided communication, attempts to circumvent/shortcut are disallowed: you cannot create the topics yourself, nor can you communicate via PM/instant message/etc. These, just like in a normal game, are modkillable offenses. Have patience and wait for ME to make the topic for you.
