Not open for further replies.
Town roles
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.

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" (@Eru) 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
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 8:00 PM CST. 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.
 
And then neo raised a red flag, probably because it was her first day too.

Then Dipper was really smooth but I still had to check after he was the reluctant voter *shrugs*
 
I think part of the problem was that in addition to Anguisette checking Cat, I put a lookout on Cat so I knew Anguisette had visited. So it became much harder for the mafia to discredit the detective because I was pushing the idea that Anguisette was legit, but was fully prepared to expose myself if it looked like the momentum would swing away from us. It was a vicious coincidence, because my Tracker buddy was dead, but would be able to confirm my identity to the medium. If it came down to it, the mafia could find out a lot of town power roles, which would help them, but all the power roles would know each other and be able to confirm each other.

This game could have gone other ways though. An executioner or jester counterclaiming the detective could have really muddied the waters early on. The night that the mafia attacked Elle turned out to backfire massively for them because the doctor healed Elle and I was roleblocked - if they'd gone for Anguisette it would've been a perfect assassination - and I would have probably never had suspected Dipper, since up to that abstain I had them pegged very highly as town.

I've gotta say though, if this genuinely is Anguisette's first game, I'm absolutely terrified of what she'll be capable of with a few games under her belt. Her reading and targeting was on point - I don't think I've ever seen a detective snipe out the entire mafia on three consecutive nights, so a real MVP performance there.
 
Completely agree, after Dipper’s discussion before the first lynch I was utterly convinced he was town and was probably going to knock on some quiet doors after neo was executed. It was only the abstain that had me suspect him for a second, and even then mostly to confirm he was a citizen.
 
There is no in between for me. I'm either suspicious or not suspicious at all.

Incredible.
 
XD why are you complaining if we win??

Tbh I kinda agree with this. I mean it's nice that we're winning and all, but it's been awfully easy.

Mafia is a game, and Taku ain’t the type to get satisfaction purely from victory. Experience matters most. Would’ve been more fun if Anguisette was pulling a double cross and killed her teammates to garner support, but oh well
 
I can confirm as someone who has been in mutiple games as town that the detectove is eitger lynched (G1) or is murdered (G2 and G3), this is the first game where mafia also had to contend woth detective
 
Alright - that makes me feel better haha XD I came in on the Halloween game, so the roles were a little wonky :{
 
I once ran a game where there were also cultists trying to make the whole town go insane, and insane people had their roles and alignments change. That game was wonky, lemme tell you.
 
Yeah, mafia games are usually NEVER this easy. O.o We just got damn lucky, honestly. Anguissette for MVP, though. And the doctor, whoever you are.

I am the medium, by the way. Can confirm that the maf got bamboozled.

You were actually who I was going to investigate on night 3 (because of Dipper’s hints earlier I think?) before the near-abstain.

Thanks for keeping Elle and I alive!

Great guessing :’3
 
This just goes to show how fantasmically skilled Angie is

also, wow! *takes off invisibility cloak* I'm here!

I checked you on night 1, mostly because I knew who you were :3

Except I guessed that if I confirmed you were innocent the mafia would kill you at once.
