Werewolves
built 122 days ago
The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow is a very simple game (exactly the same as "Mafia") but it is blast to play. All the players are the residents of a village beseiged by werewolves. At night, the werewolves kill one player. During the daytime, the villagers debate and decide to lynch one player. The game ends when the villagers have eliminated all the werewolves or vice versa. Each player is given a card at the beginning of the game which tells your true identity, so you never know who is friend or who is foe.

Werewolves were a type of Wolf in the world of Narnia. During the Hundred-Year Winter, they served the White Witch and were present at Aslan's death. They ... fought for the White Witch's Army in the First Battle of Beruna. During the Narnian Revolution, a werewolf and a hag had tried unsuccessfully to convince Caspian X to summon the White Witch back to life to help rid them of King Miraz. This particular werewolf was killed shortly thereafter, but not before giving Caspian a bite. Werewolves appeared to have the ability to turn from a man to a wolf at will, and apparently as Caspian did not become a werewolf their bite does not turn one into a werewolf innless they are in full wolf form, as the one that tried to bite Caspian was killed halfway during his transformation.

Werewolves have forms besides their human one. There is a wolf form where he/she is an oversized timberwolf. The other is a half man-half wolf form where he/she stands upright on two legs, has a bushy, wolf-like tail, and is covered in thick fur (color depends on individual). Their eyes are yellow, their ears are pointed, and they have fangs in an otherwise human face. They ... have claws like a wolf on their fingers and toes. They do not wear clothing in either of these forms.

Werewolves in European tradition were sometimes innocent and God-fearing folk suffering from the witchcraft of others, or simply from an unhappy fate, and who, as wolves, behaved in a truly touching fashion, adoring and protecting their human benefactors. In Marie de France's poem Bisclavret (c. 1200), the nobleman Bizuneh, for reasons not described in the lai, had to transform into a wolf every week. When his treacherous wife stole his clothing needed to restore his human form, he escaped the king's wolf hunt by imploring the king for mercy and accompanied the king thereafter. His behaviour at court was so much gentler than when his wife and her new husband appeared at court, that his hateful attack on the couple was deemed justly motivated, and the truth was revealed. Other tales of this sort include William and the Werewolf (translated from French into English ca. 1350), and the German fairy tales Märchen, in which several aristocrats temporarily transform into beasts.

The Werewolves specialised in ambushes and sniping, and took the lives of many Allied and Soviet soldiers and officers -- perhaps even that of the first Soviet commandant of Berlin, General N.E. Berzarin, who was rumoured to have been waylaid in Charlottenburg during an incident in June 1945. Buildings housing Allied and Soviet staffs were favourite targets for Werewolf bombings; an explosion in the Bremen police headquarters... in June 1945, killed five Americans and thirty-nine Germans. Techniques for harassing the occupiers were given widespread publicity through Werewolf leaflets and radio propaganda, and long after May 1945 the sabotage methods promoted by the Werewolves were still being used against the occupying powers.

Werewolves were originally viewed as very sick people who no longer had control over themselves: werewolves were people acting without conscience. Many believe "that all human, indeed all animal, behavior is aimed at obtaining a maximum of pleasure and a minimum of pain, or even asserts that the desire for pleasure and the fear of pain are the main motives of all our actions" (Eisler 23). This is true for humans in the case of severe sickness and loss of mind. The werewolf in literature is the person who acts out in such a way, the way that a wolf would act [if the denigrating stereotype of the wolf were true].
