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:
2 people are
Mafia:

During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched (if that someone is not your partner or yourself, that will make things much easier). You may talk with your partner when it is not Day, and send me a choice via PM of who you wish to kill.
Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no kills will happen until Night One.
Either 1 person, or nobody, is a
Doctor:

Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (the person they protect will never die on the night they are protected). You may not protect yourself.
Either 1 person, or nobody, is a
Cop:

Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues). You cannot investigate yourself.
The rest of you (3, 4, or 5, for those keeping count) are
Townies:

This is commonly known as the
setup, for reasons mostly known to Norinel.
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.
- Votes should be in bold for them to count, like this:
Vote: Peter
. Unvotes should likewise be bolded (Unvote: Paul
) so that I can spot them easier. - 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 a deadline is imposed, the required number of votes may be lowered, so be careful.
- 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 "Bah!' post with no game information is acceptable).
- 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 from me; 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. - Have fun; don't be an ass;
participate
!
