Jury Duty '76 - A courtroom drama themed Mafia game for 12 players.

Order! Order!
Listen up, reprobates, it's summer 1976 and as Mayor, I'm tired of all the crime in this God drat city. Jonny Falcon has been found dead at his apartment and I know that each and every one of you were at his fateful Saturday night party. I know that three of you are responsible, but which three? Hell if I know!
Justice cannot wait and I don't have time for fancy-pants judges, so here's what's gonna happen: You're going to decide among yourselves who the culprits are and, damnit, you'd better get it right!

What could possibly go wrong?

This is my first time running a game. Bear with me and have fun! If you need clarity on anything, please ask!!

Game Rules

There are no nights, only days - this is a 'temple' style game.
Players are divided randomly into 4 groups of THREE.
There is one masonry per team and no dedicated scum-chat. You MUST be willing to use Discord so you can communicate with your team.
If no majority has been reached by deadline (24 hrs), the player with the most votes will be escorted to jail (removed from game). In the event of a tiebreak, a coin-toss/dice roll will determine the fate of one of the those in the tie.
The ONLY at-risk players are those on the stand - that's the TEAM that's called to stand AND the PERSON (individual) that called them.
Example: Player A from Team-3 calls Team-1 to the stand. All players in Team-1 AND Player A are now at risk.
Any player within a team can call ##objection and ##movetostrike - but once that command is used, it's gone for the team.

Note 09/11/2020:
A team member can call their own team onto the stand. If they do, only the members within that team will be eligible for being voted against.
Eg, Player B from Team-2 calls Team-2 to the stand. The only players at risk are those in Team-2.

Player Rules

Standard mafia rules still apply
Try to not be a dick. Things might get heated - If you're losing your poo poo, take a break and come back later.
Don't edit your posts (that includes discord).
Don't talk in thread after you're dead. You'll be moved to the dead channel in Discord to talk with other dead people/spectators if you want to!
Don't use fake commands and don't use secret hidden syntax etc to manipulate votefinder
No replacements after D2.
Don't directly quote any communication from me verbatim, including your role pm - even if this is in your masonry chat.

Actions/Commands:
##calltostand team-x
Brings that team to the stand, each team member within that team AND the player that called the command are all up for judgement! (24 hours on the stand, player with most votes is escorted to jail - ie, removed from the game/lunched).

##objection team-x
Can be used once per team in the entire game by the team presently on the stand. The team calling ##objection will be removed from the stand and replaced with the team they specified in the objection. The 24 hour deadline re-starts. The original individual on the stand does not change. Individuals cannot use this command.

##movetostrike
Can be used once per team in the entire game to increase deadline by 24 hours. Any team can use this whether they are on the stand or not.

##vote player
Vote a player on the stand - works as normal, anyone can vote but only against those on the stand.

Cloner I can�t help but notice there�s nothing in the rules that says the only way to call an Objection is by using the �Objection !!� card from Phoenix Wright?
