Game Play, Rules and RolesNew rules and roles appear in Red.
I have sent special role notifications that inform players of their role in the game. All roles have already been chosen, and were completely randomly selected with a random number generator. (Players' previous roles did not affect their selection this game; it's a completely fresh start, so if you played last game, don't bring your biases, alliances, etc, into another game.
)
The first night phase will then begin immediately. Once that has finished, it will switch to day; once a lynching (or none) has been performed, it immediately transitions back to night, and so on.
NIGHT PHASE:--
Narrator will post to recap the day's lynching, if any, and announce that it is night-time, then PM special roles with instructions.
--
Villagers cannot PM each other or post in this thread. Sleepy time.
All other roles' actions occur simultaneously and privately, with no additional communication allowed during night (ie detective/doctor can't PM villagers with their findings/choice).
--
Five Mafia members will chat via PM, IM, or any other method they choose, selecting a villager to kill. Once they unanimously choose a target, they (the Godfather) will notify me.
--
One detective will PM me with the name of the player they wish to investigate, and I will respond to tell them if that individual is a Mafia member or villager (detective does not "discover" any special roles of doctor, nurse, etc if applicable, only alignment).
--
One doctor will PM me with the name of the player they wish to protect from a Mafia killing that night only (one player per night, does not carry over to another night, and does not affect lynchings).
--If the Mafia and the doctor or nurse choose the same person,
that person lives that night. If they don't, I'll post about the death, and the game will move to the next day phase.
--Support Roles will PM me with their optional player responses. If I do not receive PMs from them by the time I receive PMs from the mafia, doctor and detective the sun will come up and the next day will start. These new roles will not slow down the game at all.DAY PHASE:--
Narrator will post to recap the night's events, if any, and announce that it is day-time.
--
All players still alive will decide which one player to execute on suspicion of being in the Mafia.
--Communication by players still alive is allowed during this phase, privately or in public on the thread.
--When you decide on your final vote, post the name of that player in the thread (along with any justification, etc, you wish). Please
post it in bold so I see it. If you want to retract or change your vote, please also post it in bold. (If it's not in bold and the thread explodes overnight, I can't guarantee I'll catch it.
)
--Vote retraction is allowed
as long as the player you're voting for doesn't have over 50% of the votes.
--Once a 50%+ majority has been attained, that player is immediately sentenced to death and vote retraction is no longer allowed. It is effectively night time until I post about the execution.
--A player who has just been lynched is allowed
one simple, sad "bah" post immediately, with no extra game play content, hints, pleas, threats, oaths, etc.
After that, you're not allowed to post here or PM players still in the game. You are out of the game entirely.
--Once the execution occurs, it immediately transitions to night again.
In both phases, I will generally stay out of it except when I feel a crucial rules clarification needs to be made, to answer questions posted publicly that won't ruin game play, to make judgment calls about rules if absolutely necessary (unlikely, though), and to make narrative death posts. I'm probably lurking and always available by PM, though. I may post occasional vote updates to give players an idea of where the village stands.
ADDITIONAL RULES:1. General: Do not take screenshots or videos of your assignment to prove what your role in the game is. Quoting the role PM you received is allowed for strategic purposes, however.
2. Executions (lynchings): During the day, once over 50% of the current players vote for a player to be lynched, that person is
immediately sentenced to death. Even if I'm not online, the person is still considered executed; no "vote retraction" is allowed to save someone after the balance has tipped. If you prefer, think of it this way: once the mob reaches that fury of over 50% crying for a lynching, there's no stopping the blind, blood-fueled rage from filling you. (Note: Vote retraction
is allowed
if a majority has not yet been reached.)
3. No lynching: If no majority vote is reached within 48 hours after a new daytime phase has been announced, there will be no lynching at all, and the game will move into the next night immediately. (in the event of a popular vote tie the Scapegoat will be killed to please everyone).
4. You may vote
No Lynch instead of voting for a player.

If you still have questions about your role, game play, etc, you can always PM me.
Have fun lying and lynching! ;D
To mix things up here are copies of all the positions PMs made public.
This is a game of deception and witty repartee, so feel free to lie about your role or come clean, trust what people say or distrust them, but remember... there are Mafia everywhere trying to deceive you, scheming, and watching your every move...
All other roles' actions occur simultaneously and privately, with no additional communication allowed during night (ie detective/doctor can't PM villagers with their findings/choice).
This is my signature achievement.
