Setting: the near-future.
Reviled by some, championed by others, the “Hobbit" movies certainly bring one thing in their wake: a new plague of spambots to trouble the unhappy Downs.
But these are no ordinary webcrawlers. Somehow, through some unintentional fluke of coding, they have become...
self-aware. 
When the mods try to ban them, the evil AIs fight back– and conquer the entire forum.
In the process a group of Downers are sucked into cyberspace. While, in the real world, their bodies remain comatose, their minds are trapped in the terrifying virtual wasteland that was once a thriving fan site.
Their only hope: to find some way back into the real world.
But the evil AIs are not going to give up their human slaves so easily...
Rôles:
Infiltrators (Wolves).
In a dimension where bodies are really just mental projections, how can you tell whether your “friends” are human– or AIs spying on your plans for escape? Answer: you can’t.
Worse, the humans have a traitor in their midst–
The Hacker has always found computers easier to understand than other human beings, and he believes he and our new spambot overlords have much to offer each other.
Luckily, spambots are not alone in developing sentience– a trio of self-aware security programs have come to our aid.
S.E.E.R. (Sentient Electronic Evaluation Resource) is able to identify AIs masquerading as humans.
R.A.N.G.E.R (Radical Advanced Nocturnal Guardian Experimental Robot) chooses a different person to protect each night. Cannot self-protect. (Role changed slightly in view of the small numbers.)
H.U.N.T.E.R (Heuristically-programmed Upgradable Non-logical Troubleshooting and Elimination Robot) automatically strikes back if attacked. Unfortunately, due to programming limitations, H.U.N.T.E.R. is never able to distinguish between malevolent AIs and the humans it is supposed to be helping.
Note: in the event of a tie, the
first player to reach the total will be lynched.
