SMALL TOWN SALEM: A TOWN OF SALEM FLAVORED GAME OF MAFIA
Game Rules
General Rules/Game Etiquette
Obey all Site-wide Rules. I don’t know why you need to be told this, but you do. Got it? Good.
Talking outside of the thread ain’t allowed, unless there’s somehow 2 mafia, which there isn’t, so don’t do it. Don’t talk about this game with your mom or dad, your friend, your co-workers, your teacher or even your dog. I’ll throat-punch you if you do. (Throat-punch = Mod-kill).
Don’t quote private chats. This includes whatever I tell you, even if it’s fake, and you're doing it for your ego. Paraphrasing for a role-claim is fine.
Do not use flavor as an argument. The avatars attached are just simply for me to me to keep the theme of the game going. An avatar that has been associated with a role may or may not be attached to said role. Make a flavor argument, and I’ll throat-punch you. (This means that Sherlock Holmes (Investigator), may or may not be the Investigator. They could be what I used for the godfather because I'm a dick.
Activity/Prods (AKA: Paddling)/Replacements
Don’t post something productive in 24 hours, that’s a paddlin’.
If you get paddled and don’t reply within 24 hours of that paddlin’, I’ll search for someone to replace ya. You may re-join if nobody else wants your slot because it's scummy, or something.
If you are paddled 3 times, I may decide to randomly replace ya.
If you think you won’t be around to avoid getting paddled twice, tell me in PM or declare V/LA in thread.
If you’re requesting an extensively long V/LA, I may force-replace ya, because phuck you.
Deadlines
96/24 hour phases, (day/night).
If it’s an extreme circumstance, the day/night may be extended at my choice.
If you can do stuff at night, make sure I know it by the end of the night phase otherwise I’ll assume you slept in like the lazy bum you are.
Player Actions/Voting/Player Death
Simple majority of everyone alive has to agree to lynch one person by voting to lynch them. (½ # of living players +1, rounded down is majority). If you guys can’t agree on who to lynch by the end of day, nobody will be lynched.
Bold your votes or use the [.vote] tag, otherwise I won’t count it. (e.g.
Vote: Korina
or VOTE: Korina).
You don’t need to unvote before changing votes, however it’s nice.
No lynch is an option, majority is required for it.
Shorthand/abbreviations or nicknames are allowed for votes, make sure it’s obvious who you’re voting. Fake vote gambits should be done at your own risk. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote. Capiche?
Possible Roles/Info About Theme/Investigative Results
For the record: Scum are given fake-claims, Arsonist's douses do not change a player's investigative result.
The theme (if it wasn't obvious already) is Town of Salem. Vanilla in this game is the standard Town of Salem roles, (with no Coven expansion included).
Last Wills, Death-notes and whispers are allowed. Please title them accordingly to me. (IE: 787 Whisper/Last Will/Death Note. These were included otherwise one result is really town-sided. You may only whisper 3 people each day, and your LW/DN may not contain more than 1,000 characters. Whispers must also have the player you want to whisper in the subject line.
Executioner also now acts like a Lyncher, and once they win, they leave Town.
Vampires, Vampire Hunters and Forgers are not in play.

Example rolecard:
Spoiler:
Miscellaneous
I will use
this dark turquoise color
(#006769) for Mod posts. Don't impersonate me, or get throat-punched. Don’t make your text invisible, small or encrypted. I’ll build a bridge out of you if you do so. (Brownie points for anyone who gets the reference).
Side note: If you can write a double spaced, MLA format, 2 page essay on why I'm the best FM player ever, I will allow you to use #006768. I will actually read it, and if it's good enough, I will allow you to post in that color for any game I host from now on. You must also use citations.
Anything not explicitly covered is subject to my discretion and will be handed as what I think is fair on a case-by-case basis.
Special Mechanics: If you can guess the entire rolelist exactly by the end of d1 in a PM using a single guess, I will give you the win after the game is over, even if your faction loses. If you are a double-winner, you get nothing, except my applause. (This is also arguably bastard, and for our purposes, it will be counted as such. No other bastard mechanics exist).
gl hf, this is just a game, so treat it as such.

Rolecards are coming out now. Game will start once Ari gives me the game number, (ffs Ari, give me it), and basically everyone confirms their slot. (3/5 to 5/5 required).
Please confirm it by reading your rolecard.
Everyone has confirmed their slots and Ari gave me the number for this game! LESGO! Before we begin, if you haven’t already done so, please stow your carry-on luggage underneath the seat in front of you or in an overhead bin. Please take your seat and fasten your seat belt. And also make sure your seat back and folding trays are in their full upright position.
Sorry, had to make the joke.
Anyways, it was a quiet day in Salem, the airplane. Because this is now an airplane. They woke up with their carry-on luggage underneath the seat in front of them or in an overhead bin. Their seat-belts were fastened and their seatbacks and folding trays were in their full upright position. They all unbuckled themselves, knowing one thing: You can't trust anyone. Not even yourself. You're somehow flying, that's black magic! They should build a bridge out of you!
It was silent, until someone shouted, "J'ACCUSE!"
The captain then came over the intercom saying, "If you have a gun, please leave it locked and take a complementary knife instead for murdering your friends! They will be available at night."
Day 1 Begins! It will end once majority is reached, or the timer expires.

So, I was thinking a bit on this game just now. Especially in this early RVS, we do not want to put someone at L-1 right now.
I'm also pretty sure we can have at most 2 non-town killing roles, otherwise a single mislynch would end the game. That being said, seeing as how we do not have a role list, and it is likely that we have a Town Investigative who will be much more effective Day 2, I think the right answer today in this setup exclusively may actually be a day 1 no lynch. Any thoughts on that?
Forgot to mention this in the OP, doing it now since I’m on mobile: If you can guess the exact rolelist by the end of d1, in 1 single guess, I will give you the win automatically, even if your faction loses. I will not say if you were right or wrong until you are dead/the game ends. Please PM me your guess if you want to take a shot. No consequnce for guessing wrong, unless you count me laughing at you, if you’re horribly wrong.
Edit: All possible roles are listed within the investigative results. Use common sense for some of them.
I'm being really metagamey here, but I think the only way a 5 person game works without being just one day to win probably has no Neutral Evil slot, maybe a witch but even that is a stretch.
My purely numbers game based distribution would be: 3-4 town, 1 non-town killer (Mafioso/Arso/WW/GF/SK), 0-1 Surivor/Amne/Witch.
I think we have at least one out of Citizen/Survivor.
We probably have one of Investigator/Sheriff/Lookout.
I think Jailor/Escort/Doctor is another grouping to put in for the possible third slot of definite towns. I would hope we have at least one of those.
We might have Vigilante/Veteran/Bodyguard.
I'd say if there is a sheriff rather than an investigator, we would probably not have a Godfather in our midst, my guess is a mafioso in any situation, really. Maybe a Werewolf or SK.
I'm going to amend my list to say that Amne is unlikely, as is Retributionist or Medium.
Also, Framer/BMer/Janitor/Disguiser/Consig/Executioner/Jester are all right out the window for me, since I do not think that town could win if we had one of those in our midst.
Just a reminder that this is a blitz game so if anyone else wants to jump in and start participating in the attempts to game solve, you should do so early in
It's either that everyone trusts me and gives their roles. After All if everyone is honest we all win. What's the point of lying? Unless someone thinks it's fun which I find dumb. Otherwise we forget even trying to get the setup imo.
