Execution

Every day, the innocents will have a chance to execute one person of choice. This is done through a voting system; everyone in the game has one "vote" to use. To vote against someone, you just have to name them in your post and bold their name, and recently on the Bethesda Forums we have been using a white colour for votes, too. E.g. I vote for Wolfie McWolf!

The innocents can also choose to forego an execution if they feel there isn't enough evidence. This prevents a potential innocent from dying, but the wolves will still get their murder. This often occurs on the first day of a game, because more often than not day one evidence is not enough to be assured of a wolf.

Just like no executions can occur, there is also a possibility for multiple executions on one day. Double executions occur when the votes for two persons are tied, and a new trend in games has been to demand a certain amount of people to have voted for a double execution to be allowed; for example, 60% of the people has to have cast a vote AND the votes have to be tied for two persons. Triple executions have occured before, but they are very rare as the voting requirements for one to occur is very high, and the likelihood for three people to have tied votes is also higher at such high levels of activity.

Executions come in almost every form you can think of; they started off in typical "witch-killing" ways like burning on the stake, hanging or drowning. In more recent games however shooting is preferred over these methods. A nice example of out-of-the-ordinary executions came in Werewolf: The Incredible Cataclysm. Here, innocents were thrown before a pack of dinosaurs.
