Yami Fenrir: Jan 25, 2015; Is it I that is insane... or the rest of the world?

Castle Adiart is the seat of the royal family. However, the old king passed recently, and their successor is a weak one.

Even worse, enemies of the Blue Dragon, the ruling faction in this castle, have infiltrated it, eyeing the throne for themselves.

Where will you stand, as intrigue turns to bloodshed and once trusted friends turn out to be enemies?

----

This is a role madness-ish game of Mafia for 16 people with a semi-open setup. A fair warning � this game will probably be quite a bit different from usual games, since it�s based on another game like the Town of Salem mafia was. It WILL include alignment changing, but pretty limited � there�s a hard cap on how many can be changed at any time, as well as a cooldown. Several roles are also immune to being recruited, or can prevent someone being recruited.

Days will be 48-72 hours in length. Nights will be 24 hours. These are flexible based on when I want to be up and doing things. We�ll be using a combination of googledocs and Discord to manage everything, so please make sure you have access to those for the game.

---

There will be several differences to standard mafia games. I will try to explain them here.

First off, this will be an open setup. I�ll have a short description of all possible roles in the second post. This does not mean all of them will appear, only that they might.

Secondly, there are some roles that are immune to roleblocks � they will also be immune to redirects. A few roles are also immune to poison or bleeding, and some are even immune to being recruited. Keep that in mind when you play.

You will receive feedback more so than usual, as well. For example, you will received feedback when being roleblocked, busdriven (you will be told who you were busdriven to, when attacked (even if you are bulletproof), and so on. Not all abilities do, however. I�m happy to provide answers on how abilities work while I�m around.

Perhaps the biggest new mechanic is Royal Blood � a passive ability that several classes have. This ties into the King mechanic.

At the start of the game, there will be a King, whose role is public knowledge, but the King�s alignment is not known to anyone but the King himself, not even the scum team if the King is aligned with them. In addition, the King cannot be investigated, or attacked by members of the Blue Dragon. They were a pretty powerful role to have, and you want to have them on your side.

When a King dies, there will be a vote on a new King at the beginning of the day. This is an opportunity for both Blue Dragon to get a confirmed member on the throne, or for the scum team to get a King elected.

It works like this: At first, members with Royal Blood can step forward publically (therefore narrowing the roles they can be, as only a few roles have Royal Blood). If said player with Royal Blood is the only one to step forward, they will immediately become King. If there are multiple, a vote starts, with everyone that stepped forward being a possible choice. You can vote for yourself in that vote.

If nobody with Royal Blood steps up for a real life day, the entry bar will be lowered and EVERYONE can step up to become the next King. A Serial Killer that becomes King will turn into a Psycho King, so beware!

If there�s a tie, no King will be chosen, and there will be another attempt to elect a King the next day. If there are less than 5 players still alive, no new King will be elected.

---

Other general mafia rules (that have broadly been stolen from somewhere):

1. Don't be poo poo to each other. This is a game, part of the game is having people react, but if you think you�re reacting badly, walk away, calm down, come back later.
2. If you post fewer than ten times across an ingame day, you will receive a warning. If it happens a second time, you will be modkilled at the end of the night.
3. Don't edit your posts.
4. Don't talk after you're dead. I'll send you a PM to an Obs doc if you want to chat poo poo.
5. Feel free to post after the hammer/during twilight about non-game stuff.
6. Don't directly quote any communication from me, including your role pm. If you have OOT communication with another player, the rule still applies.
7. Don't fake day actions.
8. Try to post while sober.

Yami Fenrir: Jan 25, 2015; Is it I that is insane... or the rest of the world?

Here is a list of possible roles that can appear in the game. It does not mean that all of them will appear, just that they might. Unless they have a number of Uses specified, assume they are infinite use.

Killer Roles posted:

Hunter (BD, Unique)
Lynchbomb. Kills the person who voted them up FIRST.
Roleblock Immune.

Night Abilities:
-Send a wolf to attack a player. They will bleed out in one night unless healed or immune to bleeds. Does not count as a visit. 2 Uses.
-Have a Bear guard you. You will be a bulletproof PGO that only kills attackers that visit (some attacks do not count as visiting). Recruiting attempts on you will fail while your bear guards you. 3 Uses.

Knight (BD)
Survives the first bodyguard kill.

Night Abilities:
-Defend a player, sacrificing themselves to protect them and kill their attacker.
-Kill a player. If they are Blue Dragon, you will not attack them and instead take your own life immediately. If you are redirected in any way, you will not attack or take your own life, no matter the target�s alignment. Not usable before Night 3.

Prince (BD, Unique, Unconvertable)
Immune to Roleblocks and Conversions.
Royal Blood.

Day Abilities:
-Jail a player.

Night Abilities:
-You can talk to your prisoner, and execute them at your leisure. Being executed in Jail bypasses everything, killing you completely immediately. You have 3 Uses of Execute. Not usable before Night 3, and executing a member of the Blue Dragon makes you lose your remaining uses.

Assassin (Unseen)

Possessor (SK, Unconvertable)
Immune to Roleblocks and Bulletproof.

Day Abilities:
