General Rules: (Stolen from Kairyuu, with modifications)
1. Do not discuss the game outside of the game thread unless your role specifically allows it. This is a modkillable offense.
2. Do not quote the mod. Ever. You have been warned.

Active Abilities
Investigate:
You have the possibility of being a
Cop
. As such, each night, you may submit an investigation target, and you will be told an alignment, which will be true in all scenarios where you are a cop.
Night Kill:
You have the possibility of being
Mafia
. As such, each night, you may submit a night kill. That player will be killed in all scenarios where they are town and you are the designated mafia killer. All scenarios where they are mafia with you will be eliminated.
Passive Abilities
Update:
At the beginning of each day, you will be given updated information about your status in terms of alignment, and the probability that you are dead. If, at any time, you have a 100% chance of being only one role, you will be informed what your role is.
Win condition:
Currently:
25% Mafia (you win when you outnumber the town or nothing can prevent the same)
75% Town (you win when all threats to the town are eliminated)
Right now, you have a 0% chance of being dead at the moment.
Please confirm via PM. The game will begin when all players have confirmed.
3. If you notice a mistake that I have made, please pm me about it or bold it in the thread: @Mod: I was voting player X, not player Y
4. Modkilled players become Neutral Survivors and automatically lose. (however, they will be collapsed normally, as in, it will be determined and announced what they would’ve been had they not been modkilled) In addition, a modkill either will or won't end the day depending on which will hurt the modkilled player's faction the most (scum modkill will not, town modkill will).
5. Do not post in
blue
. It is my color. Impersonating the mod will cause disciplinary action to be taken.
Voting, lynching, and death
6. Votes must be in bold:
vote: Magnus_Orion
7. You must unvote before you can place another vote.
unvote
and
vote: Kairyuu
but you do not need to specify who you are unvoting.
8. Voting for a
no lynch
is acceptable.
9. Lynch happens when a player reaches a voting level equal to 1/2 of living players + 1 rounded down.
10. At deadline, the required number of votes to lynch is 1/2 of the normal amount, also rounded down (if it would be 6, it is 3; if 5, also 3). However, once there are 7 or less players alive a full majority will be required to lynch.
11. Roles will be revealed upon death.
12. Once a player has been lynched they are allowed a single 'bah' post with no game related content.
13. Once a lynch count has been reached, the game enters twilight. During twilight anyone except the lynched player may continue to speak until I post a death scene.
Activity
14. By signing up for this game you have agreed to treat it as a commitment. I expect you to honor that commitment.
15. Day Phases will have a non retractable deadline of 3 real life weeks. Night Phases will have a non retractable deadline of 72 hours.
16. If a player has not posted in 48 hours then I will prod them. They will then have 24 hours to respond in thread or they will be replaced. I don't want this game dragging.
17. V/LA notes posted in thread or PMed to me will be honored.
Conduct
18. Play nice. If you can't kill each other without being polite then you shouldn't be here. That is to say, ad hom attacks will get you a warning, and then a second offense will get you forcibly replaced.
19. Have fun, and play to win.
Special Rules
20. This game operates in such a way as that every single role distribution possible is considered. As night actions come in, possibilities will be ruled out as a result. The setup is NOT determined in advance. The actions that take place during the game will determine the setup.
21. You are simultaneously every role in the game, therefore, your alignment is both town and mafia, and you have 2 powers, to night kill and to investigate. You submit both every night. You must submit a night kill choice, but investigation is optional. Your results are only true in the scenarios where you are the role relevant to the results. If your results become impossible, then you will be ruled out as that role.
22. Flips are determined based on probabilities and remaining scenarios. When a person flips, their alignment and role will be randomly determined based on the current probabilities, and then all scenarios where that flip is impossible will be ruled out.
23. Similarly, investigation results will be based on the probabilities related to the investigator. Ie. If, of the scenarios where player 1 is the investigator, player 2 is mafia in half of them, then if player 2 is investigated by player 1, there is a 50% chance player 1 will get a “guilty” result. All scenarios where the result is impossible will be ruled out. Ie. If player 1 gets a guilty in the above example, then all scenarios where player 1 is a cop and player 2 is town will be eliminated
24. Mafia kills are special. The mafia has a hierarchy: alpha, beta, and gamma mafia. As long as the alpha mafia is alive, they submit the kill. If the alpha mafia dies, then beta submits the kill, and so on.
25. Each player submits a night kill every night. Every scenario where they are the killer, and their target is mafia will be eliminated, as mafia cannot target mafia. In every scenario where they are the killer and their target is town, their target will be killed. This means it is possible to be “partially dead”. If your death probability ever reaches 100%, you will officially die and be removed from the game. As long as your death probability is not 100%, you may play as normal. Actions taken by “quantum ghosts” will not be rewritten in hind-sight (just because it turned out you should’ve died earlier (someone who killed you early on flips scum, guaranteeing you were killed by him, for example) doesn’t mean your previous actions/votes don’t count. It will however, result in your death probability going to 100% and you dying on the spot)
26. Every day, I will pm the individual probabilities of you being town, mafia and dead to you. I will also put up an anonymous scoreboard which lists those probabilities for every player in the game (but not their names). Further, the order of the scoreboard will be randomized, and will not be consistent between days (unless it is randomly so). The purpose of the scoreboard is to give players some idea of how the game is developing. If ever it is only possible for you to be one role, you will be informed that such is the case (in other words, if it’s impossible for you not to be the cop, you will be told that you are the cop). You will not be informed of your individual status on roles, however, only alignments.
27. The game ends when, in every possibility, the players have consistently fulfilled their win condition, and that win condition is the same in every possibility. (ie. if all the mafia are dead in every possibility, then the remaining players are all guaranteed to be town, but the cop may not necessarily be known. Those players would then be victorious).
28. This game is investigation-only night-start. That means that there will be a “night 0” where everyone may submit investigations, but not kills. This is to ensure that the probabilities for players are not all the same at the beginning, adding some variety to day 1.
29.
This game is highly experimental
. There may be unforeseen problems. Balance is questionable. You have been warned.
30. I will attempt to answer any questions as best I can. Feel free to contact me to ask me anything.
