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.

Throughout the night a steady rain fell over the town, with the occasional rumble of distant thunder or the brief crack of lightning. Unfortunately, our beloved @Kimberlyn left her home to go for a walk in the rain, and was killed by lightning strike.*

The night phase has concluded, and it is now the beginning of Day #2. Discussion may now commence. Voting will begin on Sunday, April 8th, 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 exists purely for fun, and thus has no impact on the actual game itself.
 
Gonna come right out with it. Probably will die, but hey... it worked out for Angie last game XD I'm the Medium and I have some info to bestow from the late, great Dipper.

Oh? Do tell.
 
Ironically enough, he actually said to take a deeper look at you, Neobendium -- Mentioned to have the lookout and tracker do some digging. He didn't give me much more information than that, sadly :-P OH! And he was the detective (randomly picked his first investigation). So... Outlook and Tracker... if I die, please don't let it be in vain *LOL*
 
Who did he investigate N1 then? Because if it was Neobendium, and he got a bad result on him, then why would there be any further digging required?
He should have told you who he investigated N1, after all, if they ended up being a clear, then it'd be a person that we could also add to trust, right?

He didn't say. I'm not sure why... He said that he chose someone at random but not the name. If I manage to survive I can try to ask who he visited! My guess would be they were a townie, cause if he didn't mention a role either way.

I'm also confused about this. If he investigated me, and I came up as mafia, then wouldn't he just tell you to lynch me? Maybe he's suspicious that he died first, and since I was mafia last time, might want to check on me? I don't...I'm not sure why he'd say to check on me, unless he's just trying to make sure I'm not mafia again...which I'm not.

I may as well throw this out there now....I was roleblocked last night. I don't know if that proves my innocence at all, but I was roleblocked.
 
Would mafia kill one of their own? This being my third game, I legit have no idea if that's a thing... But if he was mafia could he be trying to throw me off? Ugh... I hate this gaaaame lol

Well I mean this is my second game and I was only mafia in my first game (which lasted like two nights XD) so I'm not sure if that's allowed or if they'd risk that....*shrugs* at this point I have no idea what to do and with the exception of myself suddenly being targeted by a dead guy, no one has been suspicious....aaaaaaaack
 
I doubt mafia would team kill tbh, it would eliminate 33% of their team for a dubious benefit. The information coming through is pretty unclear, so some clarification tonight would be helpful should you survive.
 
*LOL* Should I survive ;____; (save me Doctah! Save me!)
 
Sorry guys, I've been a bit distracted this week and the weekend isn't looking a lot better but I'll try to pay better attention to these minor issues of life and death.

Reading back through this, we have role block versus a detective speaking from beyond the grave. Elle, what's the format like for the message from ghost Detective? Do you get confirmation that he actually is that role, or could he be lying? Does he give any reasons?

And from your (marginally more) experience, does he have a reason to lie about his role if he's already dead? Or can we assume that's true?

Doctor or Lookout (or both) please focus on Elle, we need to get more information from the dead.
 
All I have is just his word to go off of, unfortunately - no confirmation. I don't actually know if they're ALLOWED to lie??

@Starlighter - that's a good question XD

As far as whether he would lie or not, I have no idea XD Dipper is a madman!
 
Pretty sure this entire game is based off of lying, and it's probably allowed even in Dead Chat. But the question is, what's his motive if he was lying? If he really was mafia, and his team killed him N1, it has the potential to be a next-level play. But if he's not lying, then I'm still not sure as to why he's targeting me? From what I know of him, I'm pretty sure Dipper would have just told you if I was confirmed as mafia.

As of right now, my only theory for as to why he's looking at me is that I was mafia last time and he wants to be sure I'm not mafia a second time in a row?

I guess we'll have to just see if anyone counterclaims Detective or Medium? I don't really know what else to do at this point.

I'm not entirely sure what your question is here, but the dead may lie to their hearts content; they are under no obligation whatsoever to tell the truth about anything. Does that help? XD

Ooh, this is where the deceit and backstabbing comes in? Sweet, cool to be in on the action for once.

Alright, so so far we have:
- Elle J. claiming to be medium claiming Dipper is detective and says Neobendium is maf suspicious
- Neobendium claiming to have been roleblocked, meaning they have a night action and the consort targeted them
- I claimed lookout and is not taking this seriously enough

Lovely, it's like stumbling in the dark.

Ok, for real. I wanna start with Neo. Neo could easily be mafia, either actually roleblocked by the consort to put up a guise, or just claiming to be. The detective being dead is great for the maf, but lookout/tracker can also easily identify maf with a little luck in choosing targets. Therefore, assuming Elle is telling the truth and Dipper wants people to investigate Neo, then they'd want to have an alibi. If they genuinely were roleblocked and have a night action, there's a 2/3 chance they're innocent, which sounds like a good alibi to me.

On the other hand, Elle would have little motive to claim medium if maf, besides to move attention to a target of choice. Though then she could just as easily be executioner. Honestly, that vague and cryptic suggestion from "Dipper" seems too unspecific to be believable, nor something I could hear Dipper say (or read, whatever).

Dipper, of course, could be maf as well. This kind of requires Elle to be medium, unless the actual medium decided to wait somewhat longer, and Elle somehow got the same idea. No, if Dipper indeed is maf, and is lying about Neo, then I have every reason to believe Elle indeed is medium.

Oh, and me? Haha yeah, I won't deny that I might have lied. In the spur of the moment, I wanted some action to happen. I will say this, though. However disorienting to the discussion it might have ended up, I am not maf.
 
XD If you want, I can actually post what Dipper said... IF that's allowed (I just didn't, cause I'm not sure if quoting the dead is kosher in discussion rounds??) It really was that vague and cryptic and I hate him for it XD
 
@Starlighter But that does bring up an interesting question. Mafia shares the same chat, correct? Is it possibl for mafia to kill/roleblock consort/mafia in this game?
