5''Despair hangs over the tiny village as disappearances have become too numerous to ignore. Clues from the disappearances have all pointed to the same thing: Werewolves. Frightened, the Villagers must band together to find the werewolves among them before they're slaughtered one by one. But fear not Villagers because there is a hidden Seer among you!''

7The forum/party game Werewolf has a strong presence on the Platform/ComicFury forums. The game is simple: There are Werewolves among the players. The players have to figure out who they are and lynch them before everyone dies.
8
9During the day phase, the village chooses someone to lynch, and during the night, the wolves choose someone to kill. The game ends when either the amount of wolves is equal or more than the amount of villagers OR the villagers successfully lynch every wolf.
10
11Over time the games have expanded to include art work by the hosts to illustrate events in the game and fully fledged storylines (Mostly involving a [[BigBad wizard]]). There are multiple variants of Werewolf played on [=ComicFury=], presently including Werewolf and Mafia. Each game includes between fifteen and twenty five players.

131----
132!!''Comicfury Werewolf and Mafia'' contains examples of:
133%% * AcquittedTooLate: The fate of innocent villagers up for lynching after being accused of being a werewolf.
134%% * ArchEnemy: Many players have arch-rivals. Frosty/Ranger, Matt/Sprite...
135* AvengingTheVillain: In game-verse, the characters are all offspring of their previous games selves. This lead to awkward moments in Mafia II.
136%% * BackToBackBadasses: Cyborg and Sarge were this in Werewolf XII.
137%% * BackupFromOtherworld: The ghost has the potential to do this.
138* BadassNormal: Any village which manages to lynch wolves without the assistance of the seer, counts or--even more impressively--without the ghost, without the guardian, without the...
139%% * BatDeduction: Ranger's use of the word "logic" is...somewhat different from most players. He's well aware of it.
140* BlatantLies: "I'm not a wolf!" - Ranger, Werewolf XI, ''after'' he had been lynched, and Matthew in Werewolf XIV, after he had been called out as a wolf by the seer on night one and actually admitted it.
141%% * BloodierAndGorier: Everyone's death scenes by Xseraphiim in Werewolf XIX, and Sprite's non-canon ending in Mafia 13.
142%% * BolivianArmyEnding: Sarge and Cyborg died this way in Werewolf 12.
143%% * BookEnds: Werewolf 13 began and ended with Ranger being lynched.
144* BreakingTheFourthWall:
145** Players naturally refer to the current and previous games all the time.
146** The Metagamer role is an instance of this trope - they know they're in a game, and can break the rules accordingly.
147%% * BreakingSpeech: From the werewolves or mafia, after they have been revealed.
148* TheChessmaster:
149** Ranger developed a game-breaking strategy in Game nine by coordinating the town roles. In general, Ranger's analysis sometimes leads to this in games, and one of the most fun moments for Ranger was when he entered a mental battle against Ice in Game 6.
150** Ice OutGambitted Ranger in Game 10, having Chessmastered him the entire time, for revenge in Game 6. Ranger considers Ice to ''at least'' be his equal.
151** Ranger pulled it off, again. This time, however, [[spoiler: it wasn't as a member of the town.]] He was on his way to defeating Ice [[spoiler: as a wolf]], but at the last minute, was defeated by yet again being OutGambitted, thanks mainly to a new player unheard of before, helping Ice.
152** Game 12 was more [[spoiler: Magravan's]], given that he got Ranger and [=MatthewJA=] lynched, forced the wolves to sacrifice Tres and then directed many of the Wolves' moves after his conversion. While doing so, he also worked the Villagers to make sure that they didn't lynch a wolf or the Ghost (the one threat who could bypass his lynch kill) and successfully survived to the end. Stabbing the Alpha when he was village aligned and the Sheriff post conversion didn't hurt either.
153%% * CloudCuckoolander: Potsie's game-winning behaviour in Mafia VI.
154%% * CompanionCube: Ol' Lynchy is the trusty lynching tree that has been in all the Werewolf games.
155* CurbStompBattle: Werewolf VIII. All three wolves were discovered and lynched in the first three days. Only two villagers died.
156%% * DeadpanSnarker: Jimi in Werewolf II, Capps in most Mafia games.
157%% * DeathByGenreSavviness: Ranger, Sleepy and Matt are all well aware of their impending doom, and are ''all powerless to stop it.''
158* DependingOnTheWriter: The werewolves have gone through various levels of strength. With some, the most mundane things are just as lethal as they are to humans. Other times, they have superhuman abilities and only die under special circumstances. The roles themselves change also - the Seer was initially a far more powerful role, before it was downsized in early Werewolf games; the wolves were very powered-up in and since Werewolf XII; some games like Mafia XVI completely alter what some consider basic roles.
159%% * DetectEvil: The seer's power.
160%% * DidNotSeeThatComing: The final and unexpected revelation of who the mafia or wolves truly are!
161* DownerEnding: In Werewolf IX, the town finally wins... but the Wizard comes in and kills them all, anyway. While the mafia won in Mafia XIX, Orangelink ended up getting brutally killed at the hands of his idol.
162%% * DyingMomentOfAwesome: The seer often calls out a wolf or mafia before dying in a ''blaze of glory''. Other examples include Magravan's death in Werewolf X, Jrade's in Werewolf XII, and Matthew's in Werewolf XIV (from the wolves perspective, anyway).
163* EnemyMine: The end of Werewolf XII saw both the remaining wolves and villagers teaming up in order to try and kill the wizards. Most survivors in Mafia VI teamed up with the mafia to survive.
164* EpicFail: Werewolf I involved the back-to-back lynching of the Seer and Guardian, the mafia in Mafia I failed to kill a single power role, and the town in Mafia XXIII virtually crusaded against the town roles.
165%% * EvilLaugh: The mafia and wolves laugh evilly constantly.
166%% * EvilDuo: Espeh and Frosty in Werewolf X, Xseraphiim and Tylinn in Werewolf XVI, Sleepy and Magravan in Mafia XIII.
167%% * EvilGloating: Ranger in the epilogue of Mafia IV (although outside the flavour text, he totally denied himself of gloating).
168* FaceHeelTurn:
169** The traitor role. Additionally, Frosty in Mafia XX - who, after being converted, proceeded to lynch every single one of the mafia.
170** In Mafia XXIII, [[spoiler: Lee V. was a double agent working with the FBI and the Mafia. She killed Nightsky and walked off with Magravan.]]
171%% * FakeUltimateHero: Ranger in Werewolf X, who ended up being the main contributor to the town's demise. He also did a good job of misleading the town in Werewolf XIV.
172* FanWebComics: ''Wolfie Town'', ''Wolf Hunt'' and ''Werewolf: The Game'' were past webcomics about the game. ''Fun and Games'' is a still-running comic about the games.
173* FictionalPoliticalParty: Skrael (who is mayor) holds a one-woman re-election campaign in Werewolf IX. It is completely ineffectual, as the Mayor role is removed in Werewolf X.
174%% * FromNobodyToNightmare: Espeh became the alpha wolf on her first game in Werewolf X. Tylinn was also thrust into the role of head bad guy, in Mafia 13.
175* GambitPileup: Sleepy enlisted Frosty's help to defeat the mafia in Mafia XX... not realising that Frosty was mafia. But Frosty was actually manipulating the mafia to ensure he was going to survive until endgame. But Orangelink was both mafia and Sleepy's lover!
176* GameFace: In the event of a werewolf victory, said wolves will transform in public in order to kill the remaining villagers off just for the fun of it.
177%% * GodhoodSeeker: Ranger attempts this for Werewolf 13.
178* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Inverted: The traitor has been lynched in every game since it actually would be converted into a wolf. Before that, the traitor was still killed/lynched in almost every game as well.
179%% * HeroicBSOD: Ranger's speechless death in Werewolf X.
180* HiddenVillain: Nobody knows who the bad guys are until the game is over, except the mafia themselves. ...Although in Mafia VIII, even the mafia didn't know.
181* ImAHumanitarian: The werewolves ate other werewolves in Werewolf XIX, and Muffinman was consumed by the town after being baked into brownies in Mafia XX.
182* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Happened to both Hedge and [=BlackMageBrad=] via the means of a cliff in Werewolf VII. Sprite's long, hard, gelled hair is also a veritable impaling weapon.
183* ImprovisedWeapon: Throw custard at the wolves! That should stop them. Capps also used worms as a weapon in Werewolf XX.
184-->I... just... I'm so very confused... I mean, what possible reason do you have for thinking; "Oh, hey, the werewolves are coming. I'll just grab this here bowl of custard to defend myself with..." '''''WHY IS IT SO?!?!'''''
185%% * TheJailer: The role of the sheriff.
186%% * LockedRoomMystery: Jacob Gristwood is found to be in one of these upon his death in Werewolf VII. The solution was not presented. Deaths in Mafia XIV also involved this trope.
187%% * LudicrousGibs: Some of the death descriptions can be... messy.
188%% * TheMole:
189%% ** The roll of the fraud was basically this.
190%% ** [[spoiler: Ranger]], ironically as this very role, used the lynch of the corrupt vigilante to [[spoiler: his advantage, becoming this in game 11, where he managed to learn most of the power roles due to his favorable situation.]]
191%% * MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Werewolf X brought about the first instance of the Alpha Werewolf, in charge of the other wolves.
192* MurderIsTheBestSolution: The villagers solution to deal with the werewolf/mafia problem is to systematically lynch people until they get their guy.
193* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: In Werewolf XI, Espeh knowingly posed as the seer with the intention that if she were killed, the REAL seer would be alive to pinpoint the suspects as guilty.
194%% * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Common reaction to lynching roles like the Seer and Guardian.
195%% * MysteriousProtector: The Guardian.
196* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Pretty common rivalries have developed over the games. Most famous would be Ranger and Ice, but they are by far not alone.
197* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Werewolves that change everyday, are controlled by wizards & only kill, not infect? Totally not [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Jacob]]
198* PoorCommunicationKills: Mafia 8. Unexplained rules killed EVERYONE on day 3.
199* PowderKegCrowd: A popular tactic is to bandwagon onto voting for one player. Often, mafia and wolves will target easily lynched players on day one to avoid suspicion and push a lynch toward a townie. Once a bandwagon begins, it's very hard to stop. One example of it BEING swung is the first lynch in Werewolf XIV, Where everyone voted for [=MatthewJA=], and then he convinced them to switch to Onecanofsprite.
200* PoweredByAForsakenChild: The motive provided for the Wizard's antics is to gather HumanSouls for his BlackMagic.
201%% * {{Pride}}: Frosty and Ranger.
202* {{Pun}}: Salty's name resulted in this in Werewolf X. He was violently a-salt-ed by the wolves.
203* RedHerring: The Village Idiot must act like a wolf/mafia and get lynched.
204* RetCon: "Ol’ Lynchy had been with them for generations. It had helped them solve all of their problems. There were rumours of him being replaced with a set of gallows at one point, but the very idea was ludicrous."
205* TheReveal: After an individuals death, it's announced what role they were assigned to play.
206* {{Revenge}}: The first vote each game is generally a revenge vote for something that happened last game.
207* RevengeBeforeReason: After her conversion in Werwolf 16, Xseraphiim exacts her four-way revenge on Frosty, Onecanofsprite, Orangelink, and Spinnerlink all for various reasons in a game that Magravan hosted. It almost did not go as planned. She wasn't satisfied after she died in Game 17, to which she wrote her [[http://comicfury.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=9004&page=17 infamous]] death scene of Onecanofsprite in a [[CruelAndUnusualDeath terrifyingly]] nightmarish [[ColdBloodedTorture and gruesome fashion]].
208%% ** A few cases have existed throughout the games. Shaggers voted Antihero in Game 5, for their standing grudge. Jimi voted for Tobar in Werewolf 7 for revenge for ''Werwolf Two''. And, most recently, Ice specifically manipulated circumstances to get Perfect Revenge on Ranger in Werewolf 10.
209%% ** And in a more fitting example of this trope, Ranger tried to do the exact same thing as Ice did. And it almost worked.
210* RightForTheWrongReasons: Ranger's logic is often seen as wrong, but he's gained a reputation for being right often.
211* RivalTurnedEvil: Sort-of. Ranger had been known in previous games to be the rival of Ice. When Game 11 came around, Ranger for the first time was a Werewolf.
212* RuleOfFunny: In the first game phase of game 13, Ranger (the host) was chosen to be lynched. The Ranger that got lynched was really an illusion made out of frogs.
213* RunningGag:
214** Ever since Mafia V, Milanor been sleeping in holes.
215** Custard! For whatever reason, Sarge keeps getting ended in custardy deaths. It's pretty much the TrademarkFavouriteFood of the town.
216%% * SayItWithHearts: Xseraphiim takes this fur☆ther using☣ other symbols when Game☠16 ended~♥
217%% * ScrewDestiny: Ranger, in particular, has this attitude on odd-numbered games. [[spoiler: And in game IX, he finally succeeded.]]
218%% * SecretIdentity: The entire premise of the game is that the werewolves keep theirs hidden.
219* SeriousBusiness: PlayedForLaughs. "THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS, LEIKO!"
220%% * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Most famously done by Tezcatlipoca. Others have indulged themselves from time to time as well.
221%% * SlowClap: Mafia XIX had a variation when Fastbro was lynched.
222* SpannerInTheWorks: Four in Game 10, against two different people. [[spoiler: Sarge had a guilty against Espeh, throwing a wrench in Ice's plans. Ranger managed to nail Ice and Espeh on the last day, making town victory a real possibility. However, Ranger miscalculated the time of the deadline due to Daylight Savings Time, in addition to Kristy moving the deadline forward one hour, meaning he was actually two hours late. This gave Salty plenty of time to finish the game in the Wolves' favor.]]
223%% ** Someone's becoming a frequent victim of this. [[spoiler: Ranger]] had Game 11 pretty much as a sealed deal, [[spoiler: until the last day, where the seer, tres, made her move, having worked with Espeh to out-gambit Ranger.]]
224* SpinOff:
225** Of Wolf Hunt--Ranger created a Poem, Spirit of the Analyst, which he intended to make a full-blown short story. Instead, he decided it'd be best as its own webcomic.
226** Also, Mafia is technically a SpinOff of Werewolf.
227* SpiritAdvisor:
228** Rules forbid the dead from giving game information to the living, however, that doesn't stop them from commenting. The Ghost can technically fill this role, as there's never been a rule against talking to the Ghost, though it became restricted to the Medium in game 8 and different Seers in games 9 & 10.
229** Ranger is normally among these, for he continues his analysis after death. In a cruel bit of irony, he was alive towards the end of Game 10, watching the other dead players who knew when he himself had his doubts. [[spoiler: Turns out this was intentional. Ice wanted revenge against Ranger in Game 6, who figured him out well before he was lynched.]]
230%% * SuperpoweredEvilSide: By day, the werewolves are just like any other villagers. But by night...
231%% * TakingYouWithMe: Jrade attempted one in game 12, to no avail.
232* TemptingFate: Done plenty of times.
233-->And Ranger's gone in the first round? We'll be done in 5 pages! ''(17 pages later...)''
234* TheyDiedBecauseOfYou: Played to a T by Ranger in game 10. His analysis was, as always, a strong factor in the game's direction. [[spoiler: It was just unfortunate that he himself was being played all along by the werewolves, whom he'd gone out of his way to protect in game therefore helping to kill off a large part of the village in a roundabout way. While Ranger was able to figure out two of the three wolves before the end of the game, he made a series of unfortunate small miscalculations which ended up letting the wolves kill the Sheriff, Brad.]]
235* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: There is no way to tell who is a werewolf and who is a villager during the day phase from face value alone.
236* ThinkNothingOfIt: Ranger insists that people take this attitude towards his analysis when it's right, because he knows he's far from perfect. [[spoiler: Ranger semi-thanked Ice for quite nicely proving this point '''very''' well in Game 10.]]
237* ThisWasHisTrueForm: Subverted. Upon death, werewolves revert from humans to their wolf forms, not the opposite.
238%% * TonightSomeoneDies: Pretty much every night/day in the village.
239%% * UnknownRival: Has happened from time to time. Any Werewolf is technically this, after all. Most famously would be [[spoiler: Ice]] in Game 6 eluding Ranger...[[spoiler: until Ranger died, at least]].
240%% * UnwittingPawn:
241%% ** Ranger, in Game [[spoiler: 10, fell right into Ice's hands until the last day.]]
242%% ** In a cruel twist of fate, [[spoiler: Ice was this until the last day]] in Game 11, but [[spoiler: instead, Ranger was yet again OutGambitted and fell sucker to tres working with Espeh.]]
243* VillainousBSOD:
244** It wasn't made public, but when Ice was jailed on the final day of Game X, [[spoiler: He and Espeh pretty much gave up all hope and had resigned themselves to their fate. They'd even arranged to skip the next two phases so they could die together (whilst taking Ranger out, out of spite). Then [[IdiotBall Ranger unvoted]]...]]
245** ''Averted'' in Game 11. The wolves had two potential-BSOD-moments. The first is when [[spoiler: Ice PM'd Ranger]] and said that [[spoiler: Kristy]] was a wolf. [[spoiler: Ranger told the wolves that it could work out in their advantage.]] It did. The second time is when [[spoiler: Ice nailed the original wolf team--Ranger included, when Ice had consistently been Ranger's ally]] for most of the game. Once again, [[spoiler: Ranger insisted that it wasn't over until it was over, that they had a fighting chance, and were actually in a relatively-good position, all things considered.]]
246%% * TheVirus: Game 9 brings in some traditional werewolf lore, with this becoming a real possibility for those who survive a werewolf attack. They could be allies one day, and then the next...
247%% * WeCanNotGoOnWithoutYou: If one of the Lovers die, they both die.
248* WhamEpisode: Game 19 pulls this off when Orangelink and Sleepy were killed off in one of the night phases. It then turns out that Sleepy was the target for conversion, but it was too late when the Alpha targeted Orangelink to be killed, but Sleepy kills him instead and then himself.
249* WhosLaughingNow: [[spoiler: Ice in Game 10 got his revenge against Ranger from Game 6.]]
250%% * WillNotTellALie: This is typically how Magravan is known for playing. Because of this, what he says may be more twisted than what it seems...
251* AWizardDidIt:
252** Explanation for the existence of the werewolves since Werewolf VII.
253** The mafia games had Adesa, who served the same purpose as the wizard. As of Werewolf XX, the Wizard and Adesa are no longer used.
254%% * WorthyOpponent: Ranger has expressed considering Ice his. Super Pie also managed to completely stump Ranger for most of Game 7, even when Ranger was dead and had information from beyond the grave.
255* YouAreTooLate: Much to [[spoiler: Ranger's]] disappointment, it turned out that [[spoiler: he was wrong about the deadline, and came only after the game had ended, due to DLST and Kristy moving the deadline.]] He was ''not'' amused.
256* YouCantFightFate:
257** Odd games have always been Werewolf victories, Even games have always been town victories. Ranger_Brian_New noticed this in game six, and had no objection, being town. In seven, however, he screamed, "BREAK THE CYCLE, BREAK THE CYCLE!" [[spoiler: It didn't work.]]. [[spoiler: But then, the cycle was broken; Game 9 was won by the town. To restore balance, Game 10 was won by the wolves.]]
258** [[spoiler:Espeh]] has been a werewolf all but one of the games she's played, gaining her the nickname of 'werewolf queen' and 'damned wolf'.
259* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: In game seven, the wolves decided to kill off their own traitor after they figured he wasn't exactly too useful to them anymore. Was even quoted in the death scene.
