Setup:

Stack the Deck

1) Pre-game, I will randomize twelve roles:

9 Vanilla Townies

,

2 Mafia Goons, and 1 Mafia Traitor

2) Then, the two Mafia Goons will have 72 hours to choose up to three additional modifiers. Their choices are:

- Bulletproof
- Role Cop
- JOAT (1-Shot Strongman, 1-Shot Ninja)
- Day Talk
- Traitor Recruitment

3) Then, for every modifier chosen + two guaranteed, town will receive power roles randomized from this list:

- Goon Cop
- Roleblocker
- Tracker
- Vigilante
- Innocent Child
- Bodyguard

4) One slot may never receive more than one modifier.

5) Passive-effects, such as mafia daytalk, don't inherently belong to any individual slot.

6) Although the game is confirmed to always have at least two town power-roles despite any choices the mafia make, town-aligned players will all receive a vanilla town role pm to start with.

7) Mafia members may submit the night kill and one individual action on the same night.

8) If the traitor isn't recruited, they will inherit choice of the factional kill when and if their partners die first.

9) If the traitor isn't recruited, they cannot receive a role-modifier.

10) If the traitor isn't recruited, they have a 1-shot night kill immunity.

House Rules:

Site-wide rules apply at all times.
Have fun.
Play to win.
Do not edit or delete your posts. If you encounter a problem, bold a request for me to fix it and I will.
Do not quote communications outside the game thread (role PMs, quicktopics, etc.) in the game thread. Paraphrasing is allowed. If in doubt, ask.
Do not use cryptography, invisible text, tiny text, or any other form of text manipulation.
Do not use any form of provable randomness. Claiming to use dice and voting accordingly is acceptable—publically throwing the dice is not.
Do not impersonate the moderator. Royal Blue is reserved for me.
Pretending to break a rule is the same thing as breaking a rule.
No personal attacks, no insults, no making fun of diseases/conditions/handicaps. Swearing is cool, calling someone “fucking autistic” is not.
Breaking any of these rules will result in a warning, forcible replacement, or modkill, depending on the severity and context of the infraction.
I reserve the right to change the rules. I will notify you in thread if this is necessary.

Activity:

If a player goes 48 hours with posting, I will prod them. Prods will be announced in thread.
If a player does not respond to the prod within 24 hours, receives multiple prods during the same game day, or is prodded three times overall, they will be forcibly replaced.
If you will be V/LA for any period of time, simply alert me in thread via bold text.
Each game day will have a deadline of 14 days.
Deadlines will never fall on a weekend.
In the event that the deadline hits before a lynch is reached, a no lynch will occur.
Each night will have a deadline of 48 hours.
If a player has a night action and does not submit their action before the deadline, they will perform no action.
I may extend deadlines at my discretion, and will alert you in thread should this be necessary.

Voting:

Votes must be at the beginning of a new line and bolded or voted, in the format of

Vote: Desperado

or VOTE: Desperado
Abbreviations, missing punctuation, and misspellings will be accepted as long as I can deduce your meaning.
Unvoting is not necessary.
Once a majority decision is reached, it is final.
You may post during twilight until I officially lock the thread.
When you are dead, that’s it. No bah posts.

Persona 5 sounds like some alien planet. Is that your home planet? I trust no man who works for the aliens! You might not even be a man! Who is your leader, and what does he want from us!!?

Doubt it.

The hydra's name was Sup-Zero. Is there something about that that confuses you or is there another reason you questioned our back and forth?

[Aubrey]

OH! Well that makes more sense, LOL. My thought process was "

what the hell was he suppose to catch here

?" thinking "Zero" was the hydra name.

[Shinobi]

Sure.
Do you have any opinions on any of the other players here right now?
