I just had a strange thought, this game mode would probably take the least amount of work to implement out of all of the gamemode rework suggestions.
All the other suggestions have massive reworks and otherwise massive work to implement, with huge tangled spell trees or numerous interactions to work out. The werewolf has a small handful of spells (which might actually be a small point of contention in programming.) that only need a few tiny sprites optionally added. Granted, there might be odd hiccups like creating a hidden disease system to allow for the transformation. This is literally on the scale that a non-admin coder could attempt to make a patch for it, though that might be shoving too much onto someone.
I basically really like this concept at the moment.
That said, I think I finally managed to think of the largest problem with the gamemode: Werewolves might rather die than give up their powers. I can think of how much people would actively try to become an antagonist, and how at the same time people are unwilling to give up their antagonist roles. This might cut short a lot of intended madness. This might actually heavily rely on other players attempting to become the werewolf themselves, because otherwise most werewolves will just end up executed before they're willing to give up.
