Roles


2 people are
Mafia:
The Mod wrote:You are
Mafia
, along with your partner _________. Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only you remain; you win if this happens. 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:
The Mod wrote:You are the
Doctor
, and you can protect people from harm. Each Night, you may send me a choice via PM of who to protect; if they come under attack by the Mafia, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correctly during the Day.

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:
The Mod wrote:You are the
Cop
, and you can tell good from bad. Each Night, you may send a player's name to me; I will let you know if your investigation shows that they are Mafia or Town. You win if the Mafia are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.

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:
The Mod wrote:You are a
Townie
, and you've got no special powers at Night. No investigations, no protection, no gun to shoot people. Your only powers are the ability to post, vote, and think. Help lynch Mafia during the Day, and you will win the game, along with the rest of the Town.
This is commonly known as the setup.

Newbie games begin with Day once everyone has confirmed that they understand their role. The Mafia are allowed to talk by PM in the pregame, but no other "night actions" may be taken.

Rules


[01] Votes must be in bold. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
[02] Please be attentive and unvote, if necessary, before casting a new vote. This is not required, but I’d appreciate it.
[03] Lynching will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, their pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. Feel free to post in twilight, though.
[04] You may vote: no lynch. Majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
[05] If I impose a day deadline on Day 1, lynching will require at least 3 votes at deadline. In case of a tie, first come first served. Once we are down to six players or fewer, only lynches with a regular majority will occur.
[06] When I set a day deadline, the deadline lasts until I actually lock the thread.
[07] The game is not to be discussed outside the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so – and then only at night.
[08] Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing. Not even a “Bah!” post, please. Save it for after the game is over.
[09] No small or invisible text. Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts either.
[10] Don’t quote any PMs from me. If you do, I will destroy you.
[11] If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you. If you do not submit a choice to me, I’ll make it for you and you won’t like it.
[12] If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
[13] Unlike other mods I am fallible. Please point out any mistakes I make gently. In particular, if I post a vote count that does not accurately reflect your vote, it is your responsibility to correct me. If you don’t your vote may be treated as it appears in the vote count.
[14]
If you have any questions at all, please PM me or post the question in the thread.

[15] Remember, it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun. Be nice to your fellow players and your mod. I have zero tolerance for abusive posts.

All confirmations are in -- with seven alive, it'll take four to lynch.

Get to it!

Because it sparks discussion.

Discussion is (almost, there are few exceptions) always beneficial to the town.

I think that might have been sarcastic.

But then who knows?

You'll all be thanking me if it turns out my initial joke hunch was correct.

Also Arventis, that's big talk from a guy with no votes yet.

My response was as much a joke as his message. Notice I didn't change my vote, you son of a witch.

At what point do we mvoe from joking around, as much fun as it is, to looking for a made man to lynch?

It seems like someone has to be lynched off the back of wild speculation or a misunderstood joke on the first day. :(

Give it time. It's true that Day 1 lynching is more shot-in-the-dark than the endgame, but I've seen scum screw up on the first day before. Usually Day 1 ends with the town lynching whoever irritates them the most. Because newbie scum players often feel "under the gun," they sometimes act in strange ways that either gives them away, or pisses off the town enough to lynch them.
