A small but deadly criminal organization is terrorizing your innocent village (home of small, mostly defenseless newbies), and it's up to the nine of you to figure out whodunnit.
Of course, this would all be a lot easier if you weren't so sure that some of you haddunit. Two of you, in fact, though you're not sure who else is what. Here's the possibilities:
(a Mafia Goon) are part of the local Mafia crime family. Since your plot to quietly overtake the town has failed, you will attempt take it by force by eliminating the others until you outnumber the populace.
During the day, try to blend in with the normal Townies and attempt to get someone lynched.
During the NIGHT cycle ONLY, you may talk with your fellow Mafia (via QuickTopic, linked below) and choose another player in the town to kill that night.
One of you must send the moderator a PM with your choice of who to kill
and who is performing the kill
before the Night deadline.
The Mafia RoleCop has the ability to investigate another player and learn their specific role (Townie, Cop, Doc, or Jailkeeper).
One of you must send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to investigate (usually along with the kill) before the Night deadline.
If the Mafia RoleCop is blocked by a Town Jailkeeper then the RoleCop will receive a PM stating “No Result”.
You may communicate privately via QuickTopic with your fellow Mafia up until the game thread is opened (this is called Night 0). Once the game begins, all outside communication must cease until the night cycle.
Please do not communicate with each other outside of the QT.
You win when the number of Mafia equals or exceeds the number of remaining Town players, whether you survive to the end or not.
You are a prison guard, and it’s your job to ensure the undesireables are kept in their place.
Each NIGHT, you may send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to send to jail before the Night deadline.
If the jailed player attempts to use a Night action (Investigate, Protect, or Kill), their action will not resolve.
If the jailed player is the target of a Kill that action will not resolve. Any other actions (Investigate or Protect) will resolve.
Neither you nor your target will be made aware of whether your own action was successful.
You may not put yourself in jail.
At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.
Even though many games start with Night, Newbie Games begin with Day once everyone has confirmed that they understand their role. Scum are allowed to talk by PM in the pre-game stage, but no other "night actions" may be taken.
Rules:
Votes must be in bold for them to count, like this:
Vote: Bot
. Unvotes should also be bolded (
Unvote: Byte
) so that I can spot them easier, but it's not required.
A simple majority of votes (1/2 the number of living players plus one, rounded down) will achieve a lynch and end the Day. Unvoting after that point will not save someone's life. If deadline is reached (three weeks max) with no regular lynch, the required number of votes will be lowered.
Nights will last up to 72 hours, but may be shorter if all night choices are in before the deadline.
Dead men tell no tales. If you get killed, stop talking until the game is over
(a single "go <team>"-style post is fine)
.
Do not discuss this game with other players outside of this thread, unless your role PM specifically stated you could do so
(as scum, and then only at night)
.
Do not directly quote any PMs you receive; I have already posted the roles above, but this holds true for any future messages you receive from me as well.
If you see something you don't understand,
ASK!
Newbie games are here for people to learn and understand; either I or one of the other players will respond to your question. If it has to do with your role, feel free to PM me directly.
Treat this game as a commitment; if you're going to be gone for longer than 48 hours
(not counting weekends)
,
let us know
. I will replace severely inactive players, but your fellow players may choose to lynch you themselves first.
