RULES & ROLES

Overall Policies

Do not discuss the game with other players outside of the in-game PMs and day phase thread, at all. You are free to discuss it with people who are not playing.
Do not edit or delete posts. No, not even to correct typos or to remove double posts. While I know that this is frustrating, it is too easy to cheat otherwise. If the current "hall monitor" (@Shizuochan) or I catch you editing or deleting posts, we will revert your edit or undelete your post.
Do not talk in night chats during the day phase, and vice versa. This should be fairly self-explanatory.

Inactivity

Inactive means no activity in the day thread or responding to night action reminders.
If you are inactive for 1 full cycle, you will receive a warning.
If you are inactive for 2 full cycles, you will be roleblocked.
If you are inactive for 3 full cycles, you will be killed. I will state at the beginning of the discussion phase that you were removed for inactivity. If you have a power role and there are any vanilla team members alive and active, one of them will randomly receive your role.

The game will start with me using a RNG to assign roles to players. I will then PM each player to let them know what their role is and ask them for their first night action if they have one. Once you receive this PM, the game has officially begun.

The game consists of three phases: the night phase, the discussion phase, and the voting phase. The discussion and voting phase are referred to collectively as the day phase. The night phase will take place solely in PMs, while the discussion and voting phases will take place on a public thread. Each phase will be 72 hours long, starting and ending at 5:00 PM MDT. A maximum of two single-day extensions each may be requested for the discussion and voting phases. The discussion phase will also end early if requested. I may also extend or end the day phase if I believe discussion is still active or has ended, respectively. You are still allowed to discuss during the voting phase.

At the start of the night phase, I will PM each person with a night role asking how/if they would like to use their night action. Once the night phase ends, the night actions will resolve and I'll enact any results. For example if person X is killed, then at the end of the night I will inform X that they have been killed, and add/remove them from any PM chats as necessary. Most PMs are between the player and myself only, however some players have the ability to communicate with others at night: if this is the case, it will be stated in their role description.

Next comes the discussion phase. Every discussion phase will begin with me announcing who (if anyone) died the previous night, that it is now the discussion phase, and when the discussion phase will end. In the discussion phase everyone is able to talk about who they think is what role, who they want to lynch, and whatever else may be relevant to the game. I may jump in with rule clarifications if I believe someone is confused about the rules. At the end of the discussion phase, I will announce that the discussion phase is over and that it is now the voting phase, along with when the voting phase will end.

In the voting phase everyone may vote on who they want to lynch. In order to vote you must publicly announce in the day phase thread that you are voting to lynch X player. People are allowed to cancel or change their vote, but keep in mind that you are not allowed to edit or delete posts. If someone is voted on by the majority of players (majority = (Total Living Players/2)+1, rounded down when total players is odd) before the end of the voting phase, then that player will be lynched. I will post announcing that X player has been lynched, state their faction (town, mafia, or neutral), and add or remove people from PMs as necessary. If nobody receives a majority of the vote before the end of the voting phase, I will announce that nobody has been lynched. When either somebody has been lynched or the voting phase ends, I will announce that the voting phase has ended and the night phase has begun. I will also state when the night phase will end.

Any questions people have during the game can be asked in this thread, in the day phase thread if it is currently the day phase, or via PM. I would prefer that you ask any role-related questions via PM to prevent cheating, though this is not strictly necessary.

The game ends once either all the town or all the mafia are dead. Once this happens, the game will end and I will announce the results in the discussion and voting phase thread. The results consist of who won and a complete role list. After the game is over, the discussion and voting phase thread will be archived, and players may discuss their thoughts on the game in this main thread. We will generally start planning the next game and pick the next GM and "hall monitor" at this time.

Mayor: The mayor may reveal themselves anytime during the day phase. After they are revealed, their vote counts as 3 votes.
Detective: The detective may visit one person every night. They learn the faction--town, mafia, or neutral--of the person they visit.
Doctor: The doctor may protect one person from being killed every night. They have two self-heals.
Medium: The medium can communicate with the dead. They will be part of the dead chat. While they can always see the dead chat, they are only allowed to talk to the dead at night. After they die, they will be able to send one message. They may choose who to send this message to at any time. The message will be sent at night.
Lookout: The lookout may visit one person each night. They will see who visits that person. The Lookout has a night chat with the Tracker.
Tracker: The tracker may visit one person each night and see who that person visits. The Tracker has a night chat with the Lookout.
3 normal townies

Mafia and Neutral
2 Mafiosos: The mafia vote on who to kill each night. They may decide who visits the target. If they do not choose, one of them will be randomly picked.
Consort: Mafia-aligned. The consort may visit one person each night. The person they visit can not use their night ability and will be told that they were blocked. If there are no other mafia alive, the Consort becomes a Mafioso.
Executioner: Neutral. The executioner gets a randomized town-aligned target at the beginning of the game. Their goal is to make sure that person is lynched. If their target dies at night, they become a Jester. The Jester's goal is to be lynched. Both the Jester and the Executioner are immune to night kills.
Survivor: Neutral. The survivor's goal is to survive throughout the game. They get three self-heals that they can use at night.

I hope we are right on our vote.. *waits for @Starlighter to write the lynch result*
 
I merely pointed out what you were doing when we came with evidence incriminating you, in no way referencing what this means. Don't change what I said halfway through an argument.
Au contraire.
Our intel is directly incriminating you, and a maf needs to keep their cover.
Might be because I've just half-mindedly kept my attention on this thread, but I've... kind of forgotten your main arguments. I would go looking, but I'm going away pretty soon, and staying away from internet for the whole weekend. A summary would be lovely.
What? No, read them, it'll just take a few minutes.

It looks like the town's about to lose, then. Unless people change their votes to Joan in these last few hours, mafia shall have their way with the town and murder both Angui, and one more of our side. I implore anyone reading this to change their vote to her, lynch her, and then Pen afterwards. Do it, or we all die.

You know, that seems very suspicious to me and more of a scare tactic. Also, it's not over yet. There are always variables to consider. The mafia could hit a vested survivor, doctor can heal the person, Mayor can be alive and swing the vote. ( Reminder, revealed mayor has three votes), mafia can hit the jester/ executioner. To say that it looks like we are going to lose based on one vote is ignoring the very complexity of this game.
 
Au contraire.
Ugh, my focus is terrible right now. I did not say that you retaliating to my accusations is damning, I said that you retaliating was to be expected, maf or not.

We're talking about the optimal way of playing, which is not how everyone always plays. We're all human, after all. I'm not willing to discount a bit of a fuckup, or a poorly thought-out tactic to snipe someone by making them (me) claim against you, and then you convince everyone by being two people's words against the one person's alone. Heck, that's actually not an awful tactic to get someone lynched.
Heh. I'll admit that would be a good strat. However, there is little, if not nothing, that points to this actually being the case.

@7.39 has neither voted guilty nor abstained.

@The_J and @Anguissette have voted guilty for @Joan

@Joan, @Kiilgore, @CloudyBlueDay, @LuckycoolHawk9, @IntrusivePenDesperateSword, and @Lusterine have voted guilty for @Anguissette.

With a clear majority of the town in favour of a lynch, @Anguissette is arrested and escorted to the hanging tree outside of town. With the sun going down and the night swiftly approaching, the execution is performed quickly, the accused being allowed neither a chance to speak their last words nor a final meal. When the deed is done, the town discovers that Anguissette's faction was that of the mafia.

Day #4 has ended, and it is now the night phase. Please do not reply to this thread until the next day phase is announced. The night phase will end on Tuesday, May 1st, at 5:00pm MDT or when I have received confirmation of night actions from all players.
 
@Joan
@CloudyBlueDay
@IntrusivePenDesperateSword
@Kiilgore
@LuckycoolHawk9
@The_J
@7.39
@Lusterine

The sun rises in the east, as bright and warm as any other pleasant spring day. Birds chirp, neighbors call good morning to one another, and at first, it seems as though all is well. But soon, the initial joy of the day is sapped by the discovery of @Kiilgore's body at the bottom of the town well*...

The night phase has concluded, and it is now the beginning of Day #5. Discussion may now commence. Voting will begin on Thursday, May 3rd, at 5:00pm MDT. A maximum of two single-day extensions each may be requested for the discussion and voting phases. The discussion phase will also end early if requested. I may also extend or end the day phase if I believe discussion is still active or has ended, respectively.

*Flavour text is irrelevant, and simply exists as a stylistic choice. It has no correlation to anyone's alignment or night activities.

Well, that can only mean one thing. One of our two quiet members are mafia. If I was a betting man, I'm leaning towards @7.39 for the mere fact that they never voted guilty or at all both of the times the mafia have been up. If we believe everything, that means we know everyone else expect him and Cloudyblueday.

Yeah, how Neo begged for The_J to be lynched instead in their final hours kinda irked me. Fair to say we know why now though, they're not maf.

Hm. This is gonna take some investigation.

Reactions: LuckycoolHawk9
I'm vanilla townie. i have voted each time for the guilty, I am not the mafia.
 
@LuckycoolHawk9 Could we see that claim chart again? Could help narrow this down.
 
I'm very glad we can all agree that I'm not mafia. It makes a nice change.

There's no point keeping up the act, at this point. I'm very sorry for all the chaos I've caused, making people suspicious of Joan and Pen and whatnot. I've been the jester ever since poor Kimberlyn got killed, and I've sadly failed the walk the right side of the line of suspicion since I've apparently been made.

Now, however, our desires do not have to be mutually exclusive. You want the last mafia dead, I want to be lynched. Well, what say you to the idea of you lynching me first? I know you have no reason to trust me, however, I implore you. I have no reason to want to screw over a town that actually helps me die. Just tell me who you want dead and I swear on everything I hold dear I will do it.

I do think we should do a roleclaim for the remaining alive. Let's get down to business here folks.

@7.39 and @CloudyBlueDay might as well contribute or be lynched.
 
Okay, here is the role list for everyone so far, both living and dead and their current status.

Elle Joyner: Medium Status: Dead
@Joan: Lookout Status: Alive and trustworthy
Kimberlyn: Was town, either Mayor or Doctor. Status: Dead
@CloudyBlueDay: Vanilla townie claim. Status: Alive and mostly trustworthy
Dipper: Detective Status: Dead
RJS: Mayor or Doctor. Status: Dead
Anguissette: Consort/Mafioso Status: Dead, hung by town
@IntrusivePenDesperateSword: Tracker Status: Alive and trustworthy
Kiilgore: Vanilla townie claim when alive Status: Dead
neobendium: Mafioso Status: Hung by town, first death
@LuckycoolHawk9: Vanilla town. Status: Alive and used to making these.
@The_J: Executioner turned jester. Target was Kimberlyn. Was watched by Pen to confirm. Status: Alive and suicidal. Wants to die
@7.39: Suspect of being mafia. Do not hang or vote to hang neo or Ange. Has not interacted with town outside of the rare interaction. Was forced to talk by kiilgore yesterday when asked question. Status: Alive and suspect of being scummy.
@Lusterine: Survivor claim that seemed to be backed by lookout. Status: Alive and trustworthy

Those are my reads so far on what we know.
 
Gah, Did not. That should say did not.

Yeah, see, trick is we have little idea. Sure, there are some possible targets with somewhat suspicious behavior, but honestly? We know very little. If you wanna stay around and help investigate, I know I'd love to have you around, but remember the game ends when we kill that last mafioso. You lose if you're not lynched by then.

Good to know. If we can reliably figure out who our final mafia is, I'll go ahead and help vote you up. You're too damn good at this, quite honestly, and it'd be a shame for you to lose now. tho pushing to lynch me whai ;.; jk,
I understand

Thanks, much appreciated.

Doing math in my head for if we mislynch tonight...assuming worst-case scenario:
-We'll have five people left. Two will be town, one will be mafia, and the other two are jester and survivor. At that point, I do not like our chances at all. By your chart, Pen and I are the only people with night actions left...

Pen and I may have figured out that J's not mafia and avoided a potentially deadly lynch, but other than that, our intel is zilch. We have to rely on reads.

I'm asking everybody, and I mean everybody, to pitch in on this. Who do you think reads as most likely mafia? Currently, the only living people with confirmed roles are me, @IntrusivePenDesperateSword, @The_J, and @Lusterine. I'm sorry, @LuckycoolHawk9 and @CloudyBlueDay, but a vanilla town claim is not confirmed, as much as I want to trust you.

I want to wait to see what @7.39 claims before I make any decisions. All I know about them so far is that they are not truly inactive, or Star would have told us, and while that raises some suspicions, it's not enough for me to make a judgement.
