This game is an open setup. There are 3 different alignments in this game: Town, Mafia, and Third Party. All players of the same alignment share a win condition and win the game together. There will be 1 CPR Doctor, 1 Medic, 1 Parity Cop, 6 Vanilla Town, 1 The Iron Don, 1 Mad Physician, 1 Crossfire, and 1 Fanatic Groupie. There are no other roles in the game. Mafia will receive a QT; Third Party will receive a QT. All roles other than vanilla town are required to use their role; failure to use a mandatory role will result in the player's modkill, death and removal from the game.
Mafia KP Every night every mafia player must vote for a night kill. Failure to vote for a night kill results in an immediate modkill. If the Night Kill votes are unanimous, the voted player will be targeted with 1 KP; a non-unanimous vote results in 0 KP. Mafia players may vote for No Kill. Mafia KP is always 1 and is factional.
Alignments and Roles
Town:
CPR Doctor: During every night phase, you may pm the host to Resuscitate: PlayerName. If the resuscitated player is targeted with KP from any other source during that night phase, then you will protect that player from 1 KP during that night phase. If the resuscitated player is not targeted with KP from any other source, then you will deal the player 1 KP.
Medic: During every night phase, you may pm the host to Heal: PlayerName. The targeted player will be protected from 1 KP during that night phase. You may target yourself. You may not target the same player on two consecutive night phases.
Parity Cop During every night phase, you MUST pm the host to Investigate: PlayerName. On night 1, your investigation will receive no result. On each consecutive night, the alignment of player investigated that night will be compared to the alignment of the player investigated on the previous night; alongside the day post, the host will pm you that the investigated players' alignments are the "same" or "different". Town and Mafia result in different; Town and Third Party result in different; Mafia and Third Party result in different. You may target yourself.
Vanilla Townie x6 : You have no special powers.
Mafia:
The Iron Don: For as long as the Mad Physician is alive, you are immune to any KP during night (you can not be killed otherwise than being lynched). Every night you MUST vote for a factional night kill.

Fanatic Groupie: Once per game during the night phase, you may pm the host to Janitor: PlayerName. If the targeted player would die during that phase, they will flip neither alignment nor role; you will be sent that player's alignment and role. If Crossfire is alive when you die, you will remain in the game; you may not use your janitor power, you will not join Obs QT, you may not post in the Game Thread, and you may not post in Third Party QT. While you are dead and Crossfire is alive, during the day phase you MUST still vote in the Voting Thread; voting rules apply as normal.

Order of Operations
Roles and actions will be processed in the following order: - All that is needed to know is that whenever CPR Doctor's target is hit with 1 or more KP, they act first (if their target is hit with 1 or more KP, they always act as a doctor). Sample Role PM's: - you get your role (and if needed, teammates and possible QT) Reminder regarding roles: All roles (non vanilla town) are required to send in an action every night phase. The action must target either a currently living person in the game or noone. "Noone" is acceptable target for every role other than the Mad Phycisian.
