Werewolves of the Dark Arts (No Reveal)
In the normal game, when someone dies, their role is revealed and everyone gets to see what it was they lynched, or what it was that got killed. In a No-Reveal game, the village is left with no such verification. When someone dies, they are silenced forever, and you have only their previous words to go by. The atmosphere that is created by such a mode is very intense, and as such, no new players will be allowed to participate for the first two games. This game will also be capped at 30 players. NOTE! Expect a 30-player No-Reveal game to last up to three hours. Leaving early is very unhealthy for the structure of the game, Villager or not!
