HOW TO PLAY
Alignments -
To put things in mafia terms, there is an uninformed majority, whose win condition looks like this:
And there is at least one informed minority, who's win condition looks like this:You win if you survive.
There may or may not be a second informed minority, who's win condition looks like this:You win when everyone not in {INFORMED MINORITY GROUP NAME HERE} has been killed.
There may or may not be third party roles with win conditions like the examples, or with win conditions totally unlike anything you've ever seen before. Play to fulfill the win condition you have received.You win when everyone in {INFORMED MINORITY GROUP NAME HERE} has been killed.
Phases -
This game progresses in two phases: movement, and bloodbath. Each movement phase will have a deadline of one week
and each bloodbath will have a deadline of three days
.Movement Phase
- You may move through up to three adjacent rooms during any movement phase. Climbing a ladder/flight of stairs/laundry chute does not use up any more of your allotted movement than stepping through a normal doorway would. Once you have moved through three rooms, you will not be able to move again until the following movement phase.Bloodbath Phase
- In the bloodbath phase, you will have the option to SEARCH, ATTACK, USE ABILITY, USE ITEM or HIDE. Searching
- As a corollary to searching, you may be able to search specific features of a room or area. For example, you may attempt to SEARCH FOUNTAIN or SEARCH WARDROBE, and if that is an option you will do so. If not, you will simply search the room as normal and won't be penalized for trying. If you find anything of note you will be able to interact with it. The ways you may interact will be described in your search results. Some examples from this game are TAKE ITEM, PULL LEVER and FEED GOLDFISH.Abilities -

This is a Haunted MansionTM game. Anything and everything, from BOOBY TRAPS to SANITY-JARRING ENCOUNTERS WITH ELDER GODS is possible. If you lose and don't think the game was fair, it probably wasn't. Just try to have some fun.Disclaimer

ACTIVITY:
If you haven't used up your movement are not active for 48 hours, I'll poke you. If you don't respond to the poke within another 48 hours, you'll get replaced. If you fail to submit a bloodbath phase action ever within the deadline, you'll just get replaced, no poking.
