Anyways here are the rules and the roles and everything else I might include in the game!
Rules:
- [+] SPOILER
- I just copypasted them from the last thread so you might not really need to read this:
- During the Day Phase, each player discusses with all other players on one person to lynch for suspicion of being Mafia. Each player may only vote for one person each day. He may abstain if he desires. A player requires 50% of votes in order to be lynched. Once a player has reached 50%, he has been hammered and is automatically lynched. For example, if there are ten active players, anyone who receives 5 votes against him immediately dies.
- During the Night Phase, each player with a power role may send me a Private Message on who they will use their ability on. No one may post anything during the Night Phase. All discussion is prohibited.
- There are a specific number of Mafia in the game, as well as one Cultist who can recruit other Cultists every night. If you are a Townie player, it is your task to eliminate all Anti-Town players. You do not win until they have all been eliminated. You heavily outnumber them both, but do not know who each other are.
- If you are a Mason player, you are technically considered part of the Town and must also eliminate all Anti-Town roles. However, as an added benefit, you will be able to converse with other Masons at night and plan your actions accordingly and as a group.
- If you are a Mafia player, it is your task to outnumber the Townies. You do not win until you occupy 50% of the population, at which point you trivialize the rest of the game. You are ridiculously outnumbered, but know who each other are. Aside from this, you are capable of performing the Factional Nightkill, which basically means you as a faction may decide on one person each Night to kill.
- If you are a Cult player, it is also your task to outnumber the Townies. Like the Mafia, you do not win until you occupy 50% of the population. You start off alone, but have Factional Recruiting at your disposal, where you may choose one person each Night to convert to a Cultist. Conversion only works on Townies, but they keep all their past roles.
- If you are a Self-Aligned player, it is your task to eliminate all other players. You win only when you are alone, no exceptions. You must leave no survivors.
- No one may send each other private messages regarding the game. All discussion must occur in this thread. Exceptions apply to the Mafia, Cult, Masons, and anyone stated otherwise.
- Once you have died, you are allowed to post as much as you want, though it's heavily discouraged. Just make sure you don't tell anyone anything you know, put suspicion on anyone, or even flat-out contribute to the game. You can fool around and post whatever, but don't mess with the other players. Seriously.
- Anyone who disobeys the rules twice will immediately be mod-killed (removed from the game).
- It's very difficult for me to see who everyone votes for. So I ask that you do all your votes in this manner:I wrote:Man, BBB sucks so much that I think he's scum. He probably isn't but we should get rid of him anyway. I mean, I know this is a horrible reason to vote for someone, but he's BBB so it's okay.
VTL: BBB
"VTL" means "Vote to Lynch." Basically, keep all your votes in Bold, and be sure to separate it from your main line of text. The point here is to make your vote stand out, so I can easily see who you're voting for and won't have to scour through your whole post.
- If you are suspicious of someone but don't want to vote for them immediately, you may alert the rest of the Town in this format:I wrote:Man, I know, right? BBB really probably is Mafia, on the grounds that he is a nublet human being. But I am an amazing pacifist and a follower of Master Champion Champion Master Champion Empress Queen Master Champion Juice Box, and thus don't want to vote for him yet, so here you know whatever.
FOS: BBB
"FOS" means "Finger of Suspicion." Like VTL, keep the Finger of Suspicion in Bold and separate it from your main line of text.
- If you, for whatever reason, want to change your vote, then do it in this manner:I wrote:Man, you know, I voted for TaTs a few minutes ago, but now I feel bad about it and want to change my vote to BBB.
Un-VTL: TaTs
VTL: BBB
Just yeah. Make sure I see it. Really. Counting votes is harder than you think.
- You are allowed to gambit. A "gambit" basically means a high-risk high-reward scenario that can bring you and your plans to further fruition. An example would be something known as Fong's Gambit, which consists of a player voting for himself in hopes of Mafia leading on and voting for him, as well, potentially spotting and tracking out other Mafia. Another example is the No-Kill Gambit, where Mafia actually choose not to kill anyone, in hopes of sparking interest between Townie Doctors and Townie Jailkeepers:I wrote:Doctor: I claim Doctor! I protected John last night and there was no Nightkill. Assuming the Jailkeeper didn't target the Mafia killer, that must mean John is a Townie!
John: *silently cackles in glee because he is actually the Godfather*
Jailkeeper: I claim Jailkeeper! I stopped Bethany last night and there was no Nightkill. Assuming the Doctor didn't save the Nightkill target, that must mean Bethany is a Mafia!
Bethany: *loudly exclaims outright sorrow because she is actually the Detective*
There are also things like the Slayer's Gambit, which pertains to a Townie actually acting like he's Mafia in hopes that the actual Mafia will jump into the Bandwagon and vote for him immediately, hopefully fleshing out targets. There's also bussing, where you are Mafia and actually help get one of your members lynched, in hopes of assuring your own status as a Townie. There are tons of other gambits, but do note that even though these things are high-reward, they can also potentially get you killed. Getting killed sucks, obviously, so be careful.
- Lol there's a gambit named after BBB which is also known as possibly being the worst gambit, because lol BBB your gambit sucks.
- You are allowed to say your role. Do note that roleclaiming can put you in considerable risk and bring you to potential danger, so think about that before proceeding. If you desire, you may attempt a Softclaim, which basically means you hint at your role without explicitly stating it.
- You are allowed to lie, bluff and deceive other players. This means if you want to claim that you are a Vanilla Townie when you are in fact not, then you may do so. If you want to say that you are a Detective and have reason to believe a specific player is Mafia, when in fact you are the Mafia Godfather, then you may do so. Just don't cheat.

Anyways, comment here and PM me a list of roles you might want to be if you are in joining.
For example,
1)Government
2)Sabotage
3)Assasination
......
4)Lynching
If you, for example, gave me that list, then I'll give you government role priority. But if all the government slots have been taken, then I'll have no choice but to give you a sabotage role. And if that's taken, then assasination's next, etc etc, until you reach a role type with a free slot. Gots? :b
Anyways, I'm looking forward to this TvMvCvSA. Are you?
