Roles

This is an semi-open setup. Roles will be disclosed, but role counts will not. Read this section carefully, as the roles may be different from what you are familiar with.

Townie
You may just be a normal player but you are the backbone of the town! Your goal, with the special roles of the town, is to help bring the Mafia to justice. You get no special powers but the ability to vote during day. Blue Roles may look pretty but the real power lies with you!

Detective
You have the ability to make night investigations. Once per night, starting on Night 2, you may ask for the role of any player. I will PM you the results at the end of the night (the results will reflect that night’s recruitment).

Jailkeeper
You have the ability to prevent all night actions on a player of your choice during the night. This includes DT checks, bombs, night hits, and recruitment. It does not prevent roleblocks. You may not protect yourself. No one will be notified of any results. Jailkeeper can protect someone the night she/he gets killed.

Mad Hatter
You have the ability to lay bombs on people at night. Once per night, you may place a bomb on a person, or switch a bomb from target to target. If you happen to die for any reason, the person (people) upon who you have placed the bomb will take a hit, and will die unless they have protection. You may place up to two bombs maximum. If a person with a bomb upon them is lynched, the bomb is not refunded. Your bombs go through extra night lives.

Veteran
You get two night lives instead of one! This means it takes at least two successful hits in one night to kill you, or one hit on each of two separate nights. A veteran will be told when they lose one of their night lives. If you get lynched, you die, regardless of whether you have an extra night life remaining.

Roleblocker
You have the ability to prevent a player from performing a night action. You must inform me of your roleblock target before the night begins, and your target will be blocked for that night. Your target will be informed that they have been role blocked only if they can perform a night action. You may not roleblock the same player more than twice in a row. You do not lose your ability upon recruitment.

Coroner
You have the ability to reveal the true identities of the dead once during the game. Your ability can be activated at night and used on that night’s and all previous deaths. In the following beginning-of-day post, it will be mentioned that your power (your name will not be specified) was used, and I will reveal all of the true roles / identities / alignments of the dead players.

Dream Catcher
You start out as a regular townie. But if any blue role gets recruited by the mafia, you will be given a random blue role (Detective, Jailkeeper, Mad Hatter, Veteran, Roleblocker, or Coroner). If you are recruited at any point, you lose whatever role you have.

Traitor
You are a townie who is tired of the injustice towards the so-called mafia. You have no abilities but you want the Mafia to exterminate the town. You do not know who the Mafia members are, and the Mafia do not know who you are. You do not affect the Mafia's KP, even if they find you. If the Mafia win the game, you win as well. You show up as Townie to rolechecks and count toward town population. Note: Traitor is NOT a third party / mafia member. You stop being a 'Traitor' if you are ever recruited (but you become a real Mafia lolol).

Mafia – (starting 0, Max 5)
Your goal is to eliminate everyone else in the town. Your ability, as a group, is killing off whomever you decide on at night and being able to communicate with each other outside the thread. You may kill your own members. You may choose to kill no one. No one will be killed if you do not send in your night action.
Mafia will be informed of their new member every night, if there is one. They are never informed of who the Godfather is.
If any mafia member is roleblocked, all mafia lose their killing power that night.
Starting Mafia KP: 1.

***The Godfather***
You are the head of the mafia, but none of them will be informed of who you are. You control them from a distance, and have the ability to, each night, recruit one person. At the end of the night, that person will join your team of mafia. You have two night lives. The Godfather cannot be any secondary role (Free Mason/Lover).

More about recruiting: The maximum number of mafia at any point is 5. Send your choice in to me every night (do so every night to be safe) – if there are already 5 mafia (if one will die that night, it still counts), the recruitment will fail. Any recruited blues lose their powers, unless otherwise stated.
If you try to recruit a Free Mason, that person will remain a townsperson (will not become mafia), and no new mafia will be recruited for that night. They will notified that the Godfather tried to recruit them that night.
You will never be notified the results of your recruitment .

The Godfather will recruit a new mafia member before the game begins (after role PMs). No other night actions will be carried out on “Night 0,” and the mafia member will be notified of his status before the game begins. For this reason, role PMs will be sent out 24 hours before the game begins. If the Godfather fails to PM me during Night 0, no one will be recruited.


Secondary Roles: (Godfather may not be either)

*In addition to the roles above, you may also be one of the following roles:

Free Mason
There are two of you. You have the ability to PM each other. You may not be recruited as mafia, but will be notified if someone tries to recruit you. If a Free Mason is roleblocked and recruited by the Godfather on the same night, he/she will become a member of the mafia, but will still be able to PM his fellow Free Mason.

Lovers (codename: Romeo & Juliet)
There are two of you. You have the ability to PM each other. If one of you dies, the other will also die (or “commit suicide” if you prefer).



Other Game Rules:

No PMs except if your role allows it. Play to win. Don't play against the spirit of the game. No cheating. Do not quote your role PM or even refer to it in any manner. Don't screen shot or copy/paste it either. Mods have the final say in any matter. If you have any questions or assumptions it's best to ask a mod before taking action.

Double Lynch
Usable twice per game, the town lynches two people instead of one. This means on the next day everyone gets two votes to distribute between two different people. The double lynch is activated by voting for it in addition to a player (or players if a double lynch is currently activated). The vote must exceed half the number of players voting that day. IE: If there are 20 players voting then the town needs 11 votes to use a double lynch. Double lynches may be voted on starting Day 2. Double lynches may be used on consecutive days. Players cannot place both of their votes on one player when a double lynch is in effect.

Regarding Mod Day/Night Posts: No information will be revealed about the people who die, except that they, well, died. I may or may not choose to include funny stories about how they died, but these stories will not contain any clues of any sort – they will solely be for my (and your) entertainment.
Example: DarthThienAn has died.

Death Post: When you die, you are allowed to post one of the following: a player’s name, a player’s name backwards, or a role. A name implies that the person is innocent, a name backwards implies that the person is not innocent, and a role is assumed to be a death-roleclaim from you.

You are free to lie or say nothing if you wish but must maintain the correct “format.” If you plan on making any other death comments such as “Good luck town!” please post it separately, and after your Death Post. Your Death Post should be completely isolated from anything else, and should be one word, unless it is a role that consists of two English words (such as “Free Mason” or “Mad Hatter”). You may not post a combination of names and roles of any sort. PM me if you have any questions about the validity of what you plan to post.

Example posts (bold helps): “Qatol.” “lotaQ.” “Medic.”


More on recruiting/cheating: Anyone can be recruited to join the mafia team, except for Free Masons (see exception under Free Masons). **If you are recruited as mafia and play against your new team, you will be modkilled, banned from all of my future games, and banned as per the Strategic Rule Breaking clause. This would be an example of betraying your team. Playing for the town when you are mafia is unacceptable. In the same way, townies should play for the town, even if they might get recruited later. For an example, I do not want a repeat of what happened in Caller’s Three Kingdom’s Mafia game.

Furthermore, there are to be no deals made by or with the Godfather along the lines of “I’ll help the mafia if you recruit me later,” or anything of that sort. The Godfather is not allowed to PM anyway, so this shouldn’t even be able to happen.
