Re: [pbmserv-dev] Werewolf!

Is it possible to have two "chats", one chat everyone subscribes to, 
the other chat only the werewolves can subscribe to.  Call one chat
VillagerChat  and the other chat  WerewolfChat.  The werewolfs would
have to be very careful not to mix up the two chat functions.  
The big problem I see here is that the werewolf would know that they
are a werewolf even during the day.  Actual werewolfs wake up during
the morning with a headache and they don't remember what they had done
the night before.  (doesn't *that* sound familiar! ;-)
As far as voting, the werewolfs get a special function for their voting
and the villagers get another function where each player can see who
voted for who during each round of voting until a majority is reached.
As far as the actual killing act is concerned; have a special function
where the werewolfs can send anonymous email messages to the victim that
a majority has chosen.  They can taunt the victim for awhile until they
close in for the kill.  (of course, a copy of the messages would have to
be saved for Richard just in case anyone playing a wolf would get
out-of-hand with their anonymity)   Better yet, have the anonymous messages
broadcast to all the users - have the werewolfs be given the ability to
use the VillagerChat function anonymously.  :-)

oh-oh, a full moon is raising...  gotta go!
