This is an offspring based on the mafia game concept. Note that if you experienced in forum mafia, then PLEASE read the below rules. This game is very different.
For folks that have played this set up before with me, then note that I changed the rules for private messaging a little bit. Once you meetup with someone, you can continue talking to them for the rest of the day phase, so the thread only gets one notification about the meetup, not a notification for every message sent.
RULES:
- There will be two factions, the good team (villagers) and the evil team!
The villagers will be the uninformed majority who don't know who each other are, and their goal will be to kill the demon and only the demon. The villagers will consist of townsfolk with regular abilities or outsiders with abilities that are not as helpful.
The evil team will know who each other are but NOT what their roles are. The team will consist of ONE demon and some number of minions who will assist the demon. The minions will know who the demon is but not the demon's role. This team's goal is to bring the game down to two alive players. The demon will be the role that is performing all or the majority of the nightkills. The demon will also be given three good roles that are not in play to help them bluff (but not the minions)
- There will be two phases, the day phase and the night phase. During the day phase, players will be able to vote out other players. The person with the most votes will be executed BUT only if they have the majority of the votes (based on alive people). The person who is executed will be considered dead by the end of the day phase unless otherwise specified. Any lynching is considered to be an execution regardless if the player ends up dying or not for role purposes. The day phase will last 48 hours.
In order to vote a player, that player must be nominated. Each player has the ability to nominate only ONE player per day phase. You do not have to nominate if you don't want to though. Once a player nominates, they cannot nominate anybody else for the rest of the day phase. You can nominate dead players. When you vote, you can vote anyone with a nomination. You CANNOT unvote, but you can vote multiple people. You don't have to vote the person you nominated, and you can vote anybody that has a nomination. In the event of a tie, nobody will be lynched.
During the night phase, everyone will be able to mail me their role actions through Torn or through Discord. If your ability requires an action during the night and you forget to submit a night action, then I will perform your night action at random. The game will start at night 0. The night phase will last 24 hours
- The players are allowed to talk during the day phase and the night phase. During the night phase however, avoid discussing how you will use your abilities. The players are also allowed to talk if they are dead. The only exception is that nobody is allowed to talk during night 0. The demons and minions will NOT be able to communicate with each other through any hidden means (as in there is no Discord mafia channel like in most mafia games). Any player can have private messages sent to other players though, regardless of alignment. To send a private message to another player, you INFORM ME who are sending a message to. When I am online, I will post that a player had set up a private meeting with another player. The players can also announce that they sent a private message to someone else in the forum. I TRUST that the players will be honest about who they are communicating with privately. If I suspect that someone is not sending private messages in accordance to the above, then I will remove them from the game. NOTE: Once you send a private message to someone, you may continue to talk to them for the rest of the day phase. However, once the next day phase starts, you must inform me once again that you would like to continue talking to that person, so that it becomes public knowledge, who is talking to who. You may lie about what you are messaging about in the forum though, just not who you are talking to.
- When a player is considered to be dead, their role will NOT be revealed. They will not be able to use their role any longer, and they will lose their ability to nominate other players. The dead players can vote but only once for the rest of the game, so don't waste it! The dead players can continue to talk in the forum.
- Some roles inflict a drunk or poison status effect. This means that for that night phase and the next day phase, they're ability will malfunction. You will think that your ability is working correctly based on my input, but your results will most likely be false or misleading.
- Some roles mention neighbors. This means that whoever is alive and next to you on the player list is your neighbor. Pairs are neighbors. If you are player number 1, then your neighbor is player number 2 and the last player at the end of the list, like a circle.
ROLES:
Below is the role list. You will notice that there will be more roles than players, so there is no guarantee that a role is in the game.
The number of players on each team will depend on the number of sign ups we get. I plan to close sign ups by Jan 25th I think and start the game around then. Most phases will probably end at 1:00 TCT, but I haven't fully decided yet. I can start the game earlier if enough people join in time.
Townsfolk
Washerwoman - You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Townsfolk. Librarian - You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Outsider. (Or that zero are in play.) Investigator - You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Minion. Chef - You start knowing how many pairs of evil players there are. Empath - Each night, you learn how many of your 2 alive neighbours are evil. Fortune Teller - Each night, choose 2 players: you learn if either is a Demon. There is a good player that registers as a Demon to you. Undertaker - Each night*, you learn which character died by execution today. Monk - Each night*, choose a player (not yourself): they are safe from the Demon tonight. Ravenkeeper - If you die at night, you are woken to choose a player: you learn their character. Virgin - The 1st time you are nominated, if the nominator is a Townsfolk, they are executed immediately. Slayer - Once per game, during the day, publicly choose a player: if they are the Demon, they die. Soldier - You are safe from the Demon. Mayor - If only 3 players live & no execution occurs, your team wins. If you die at night, another player might die instead.
Outsiders
Klutz - When you learn that you died, publicly choose 1 alive player: if they are evil, your team loses Drunk - You do not know you are the Drunk. You think you are a Townsfolk character, but you are not. Recluse - You might register as evil & as a Minion or Demon, even if dead. Saint - If you die by execution, your team loses.
Minions
Poisoner - Each night, choose a player: they are poisoned tonight and tomorrow day. Spy - Each night, you see the Grimoire. You might register as good & as a Townsfolk or Outsider, even if dead. Scarlet Woman - If there are 5 or more players alive (Travellers don’t count) & the Demon dies, you become the Demon. Baron - There are extra Outsiders in play. [+2 Outsiders]
Demons
Imp - Each night*, choose a player: they die. If you kill yourself this way, a Minion becomes the Imp Night 0 Order

This will be a closed setup, meaning you won't know what roles are in play until after the flips. Most people will be vanilla town. Mafia will also have powerroles, but they may or may not have mafia goons (mafia with no powerrole)
Day phases will be 48 hours and night phases will be 24 hours. Phase change will be at 1:00 AM TCT
I'm looking for 13-14 players with 16 being the preference. I'll also want to have a few replacements lined up
The setup I stole from someone else, so don't credit me if you end up liking it. (And DEFINITELY don't credit me if you hate it lol)
To vote, it must be in bold or in all caps. Ties will lead to a random lynch.
There will be no communication with other players outside of the thread with the exception of the mafia team who can communicate with each other. I will provide a Discord for mafia chat, but joining it is not required
DO NOT COPY AND PASTE YOUR ROLE PM and do not bring up any communication with the host. For example, if you have a question about how your role works and you ask me, you can NOT mention that you had to ask me for that info.
If you don't submit a night action when you are supposed to, then it will not be used. Nightkills are factional.
All other mafia rules are the same I guess. DM me if you are new and would like some details on how to play.
I intend to start the game Nov 2nd unless it is slow to fill

ADDITIONALLY: I intend to ask neutral questions throughout the game if I feel the activity is low, especially towards newer folks
I currently work at an inpatient mental health hospital. Fortunately, I went into IT and not nursing.
My craziest story is a bit sad, but a sister hospital which I wasn't there for had patients break out. The kids waited until all the staff were women, then rushed the doors until it broke. This triggered the fire alarm, which unlocks all the doors so people can escape in a real emergency. I think an adult patient knew this, so he started encouraging others to escape, independent of what the kids were doing. Most patients who left their units could be found within the hospital, but a handful did leave. Police needed to use dogs to find 'em.
Having quit a while ago and coming back recently I have to say I am a bit disappointed in how relevant FFScouter is. I feel stats being hidden made wars and attacking in general far more interesting. It was actually possible to underestimate someone and lose to them. Now there is no thinking required.
Why not just have our battle stats be public at this point? It basically already is for anyone aware of FFScouter
I've been playing without scripts because it is more fun, but it is a bit demotivating hearing every time someone else is getting an edge by using a script that tells them what to do
Same with the weav3r site. Just bring back bazaars as they were? Why do I need to go to another site for functionality that Torn used to have? And it's allowed too?
If gaining new functionality from a script is the norm then either add it to the game or get rid of it completely
Setup was definitely wolf-sided lol. Game was basically mountainous which on the other forum I play on is usually 3v12 and people say even that is still slightly wolf-sided. That is also with active people. That is 2 more mislynches than here
One benefit of the investigation mechanic though is that it got people talking more than usual day 1, which helped a lot.
