I used to play a lot of #wolfgame on IRC and when the Fediverse came around my first idea was to re-create the wolfgame on fediverse. I started writing it in Python but gave up halfway through. The game engine is there, it communicates with Mastodon, but it needs content.
Wolfgame is a lot like Mafia that others may have played. Player starts a game, game is announced to people who subscribe to the bot, other players are given a chance to join the game. Once started the game simulates day/night cycle and allows players to vote for who might be a werewolf during the day.
During the night wolves can vote on who to murder.
There could be the same roles as the wolfgame on irc, assigned at startup and given special abilities. All that is really required to make this game work is public messaging and private messaging. Then everything else is just like the IRC version.
The IRC version can now be found in #werewolf@liberachat.
