On the Subject of The Setup:

What's this, a Datisi mafia game? I'm sure it's going to be a blast!

1. the basics:

15 DATS Inc. employees (the town)
vs
4 GB Inc. infiltrators (the mafia)
.
closed setup.
all private topics will be open at all times.
DATS Inc. employees win when all GB Inc. infiltrators are dead and at least one DATS Inc. employee is alive, OR when DATS Inc. employees act as successful bomb defusers
8
times.
GB Inc. infiltrators win when all DATS Inc. employees are dead and at least one GB Inc. infiltrator is alive, OR when GB Inc. infiltrators act as successful bomb defusers
4
times.
GB Inc. infiltrators do not have a factional nightkill every night.
they start off with one nightkill. for every two successful bomb defusals performed by a DATS Inc. employee, they gain one nightkill. for every successful bomb defusal performed by a GB Inc. infiltrator, they gain one nightkill.
executions are compulsory. if no majority has been reached by deadline, the person with the most votes will be executed, with ties broken by seniority.

2. bomb defusals - selecting the participants:

there will be 2 bomb defusals on night 1, and 1 bomb defusal each following night.
each bomb defusal will consist of one
bomb defuser
(selected by the mafia), and 4-2
bomb experts
(selected by the town).
during the day, other than the usual voting to execute, the players may use
heal tags
to nominate someone to be a bomb expert that night.
a single player can simultaneously nominate as many players as they wish, but they cannot nominate themselves. hurt tags to un-nominate.
once the execution vote has been hammered and the day is over, twilight starts. the needed number of players who at that moment have the most nominations will be the night's bomb defusers.
during twilight, the mafia must select who will act as the bomb defuser(s) for the night. they cannot choose people who are to be the bomb experts.
during the night, they may not attempt to nightkill the bomb defuser.

3. bomb defusals - defusing the bomb:

once night starts, the bomb defuser will receive their bomb, and each bomb expert will receive a part of that bomb's defusal manual.
the bomb defuser and all bomb experts will be added into a private topic for the night.
the defuser's job is to describe the bomb, and the experts' job is to tell the defuser how to defuse the bomb, based on their description and the manual they have received.
an example of this can be found below.
besides that, the defuser and the experts are free to discuss the game as they wish.
if all the bomb experts give the correct information about the bomb, the defuser will successfully defuse the bomb, and will survive the night.
if any of the bomb experts give incorrect information, the bomb will explode, and the defuser will die.
please note: there is potential for needed mod influence.
if a bomb expert does not understand their manual, they are free to (
PRIVATELY
) ask me for help, and i will clarify it for them. i believe it would be against the spirit of the game to have them submit incorrect information if they didn't intend to do so.
there are no other bastard elements in this game.

4. miscellaneous:

on night one, each bomb will have 4 experts. from night 2 and onwards, each bomb will have 3 experts, until there is 7 or fewer players alive. at that point, each bomb will have 2 experts.
during the first 4 days, once someone has acted as a bomb expert, they are unable to be a bomb expert the next two nights, meaning they cannot be nominated. from day 5 and onwards, once someone has acted as a bomb expert, they cannot be a bomb expert the next night. this restriction is lifted once there are 5 or fewer players alive.
bomb experts are not allowed to provide information for the bomb before the defuser asks, and they're only allowed to provide the information for the part that the defuser asked for. this rule is in effect to prevent cases where the defuser demands the expert to give all of the info from their part of the manual beforehand. please play within the spirit of this rule.

5. an example of a bomb defusal:

sample bomb expert pm:

Datisi wrote:Gypyx, you are a bomb expert. your fellow experts are [names], your bomb defuser is Not Known 15, you may tak to them here: [link]

your part of the manual goes as follows:

On the Subject of Simple Wires

Everybody knows how to defuse this bomb. Just cut the red wire! Or was it "don't cut the red wire"...

Spoiler:

A wire module will have 3 wires on it.

Only the
one
correct wire needs to be cut to disarm the module.

Wires are ordered starting from the left.

If there are no yellow wires, cut the first wire.
Otherwise, if the last digit of the serial number is even, cut the third wire.
Otherwise, if there is exactly one red wire, cut the first wire.
Otherwise, cut the second wire.

sample pt correct defusal conversation:
