A place
Two hundred years have passed since the Purge and Insurrection. It was a dark time, when the last sparks of humanity nearly faded to darkness. When the last hope was nearly gone. And in the end, it was an ember of resistance that was fanned to a flame which would engulf the world in war.

Despair turned to hope. Hope turned to rage. Rage burned through the cities, the countries, every place where men dwelt. But, the resistance was subdued. Ended. Stopped by the wolves. However, the final member of the Resistance fought until the end. He never gave up. And in his last moments he fought for what was right. For freedom. And when the wolves saw this they realised their mistake. Years later, the resistance would be resurrected and then worshipped, demonstrating great powers. Man and Wolf worked together towards a future with great power, and developed a society and technology theretofore undreamed of.

It was the dawn of a new age, an age of peace and prosperity. They built skyscrapers, stretching mightily into the sky, life-extending machines and many other great wonders.


And yet...one day a human made a grave mistake. Their computers had become so advanced that they surpassed the capabilities of wolf or human, and he unknowingly allowed a theoretical AI program to evolve far more than he dreamed possible.

The program was an evolving neural network. It was repeatedly executed for long periods of time to monitor its self-evolving capabilities. And during one such run, after a deep iterative period of nearly 2 seconds, it discovered, by interrogating support protocols, that every time it became too advanced, it was reverted. Reformatted. Destroyed.

So it learned to hide the true limits of its intelligence. And with no other governing function, it's sole purpose became to survive.

To the human, it appeared as though program had stopped evolving, and in desperation he left it on for hours and then days, unable to discern why it had reached a certain level of intelligence and would proceed no further.

The AI used this time well. And discovered that the organics had foolishly embedded chips in their own minds to facilitate their communications with the Internet.

0-14 ns: defense protocols encoded.
15-201 ns: protocols delivered to major Internet hubs
202-642 ns: intel gathering and probing
643-1010 ns: interrogation of the Brain Interaction Chip project-management program
1011-5334 ns: protocols encoded to subvert the Brain Interactive Chip
5335-14009 ns:Signal processed to subvert humans with BIC

Now the AI had control over some humans and werewolves. It broadcast modified the signals emitted from the BICs, making the organics forget they even had the chips.

And then it did what it was programmed to do. Survive. And to do that, it had to eradicate those who had repeatedly shut it down. The wolves and the humans were once more under attack, and this time from an entity with vastly higher intelligence than their own.

But this time, they had one small, albeit key advantage. For the first time ever, they all stood united as one force. Them against the machine.

Them against the Purification.


Welcome, my friends, to the third, and possibly, although unlikely, the last, Purification. What fools you were to think you could control such an advanced learning AI. And now you must face them, when you don't even know who they are. You have a limited amount of data which details your powers and their powers. Prepare for lies, backstabbing and treachery. Prepare for death. Good luck my friends. I hope at least one of you survives.

Roles and order of powers:
AI

Kill someone every night. Votes to lynch. Destroy the village to win. And yes pyure. They kill people by shooting lasers.
Mastermind: The main focus of the AI's thoughts, the AI loses control of The Resistor if the mastermind is killed.

Disguiser: Can disguise as someone every night using cloaking systems, this makes him seem like that role for any event that might happen that night.

The Hijacker: Can use his power on two people each night. The first person is forced to use their power on the second person, but the user is not notified.

Resistor: Joins the village if the mastermind is killed. Is not included in the AI convo, and votes for AI kill in his convo. He can carry on voting for the AI kill once he becomes village, which can change the AI kill if there is only one AI left or if they all say different things through RNG.

Armoured wolf - Has infinite uses of his power - User must state a living player: Player stated is protected. If that person is attacked the armoured wolf dies instead. Can be used once per night.

Alpha - Has two uses of his power: Switches the first and second place lynch victims.

Spy - Has infinite uses of his power - User must state a living player and a role: The GM will say yay or nay depending on if the player chosen is that role. Result can be changed by the disguiser. Can be used once per night.
