Game Description
Essentially, the premise is that town (15 players) has one shot to lynch one of two mafia lovers on Day 1. If they do, great. they win. If they don't, then everyone is suddenly in it for himself, and gets to select one person they think is scum. If that person is scum, that individual wins. The mafia, on the other hand, win only if no one selects them.
There are some nuances that you can read about, but that's the basic game. With it, you'll know that once the game starts, you'll be done within 14 days. No fuss, no muss.
Just to emphasize, this is a very difficult game to win.

Game Specific Rules
Starting Setup and Day 1
This game will last from the start of Day 1 to the end of the game, 14 days.
The setup to start is 15 Town, 2 Mafia Lovers.
Day 1 will work as normal. Majority lynches. If town lynches either of the mafia members, the town wins.
Post Day 1
If town does not lynch a mafia member on Day 1, the mafia will via instant night select one of their members to
Flee
, thus removing from the game. This player cannot be accused.
At this point, every Town member becomes a
Third Party Independent Private Investigator
and will win or lose for themselves. The lynched townie is removed from the game, loses, and may not make an accusation.
At the end of 14 days from the start of the game, Independent PIs must have submitted via Google Form at least one accusation. The most recent accusation counts.
After the 14 day deadline, the game ends and the accusations are tallied.
If 9 players vote to end the game early, the game will end early. Players will have up to 48 hours but no more than 14 days after the game start to make an accusation. This will be the only vote count.
A Private Investigator who receives more accusations than any other player will not make an accusation and will automatically lose. Any player who receives 5 or more accusations (before accusations under this rule are disregarded) against him will not make an accusation and will automatically lose.
Both mafia players win if the remaining mafia member is not accused by any other player.
A Private Investigator will win if he or she makes an accusation against the remaining mafia player.
Mafia Bribe
The remaining mafia member instead of submitting a accusation submits a bribe. If the mafia member bribes a Private Investigator who in turns accuses the mafia member AND there are no other accusations against the mafia member, the Private Investigator is bribed, causing a win for BOTH that Private Investigator AND the Mafia. The Fleeing Mafia player does not have a bribe to use.
14 Day Deadline
The game will be played in 14 days from when the game is started, including Day 1 and any chat after Day 1.
Players will have 24 hours after the 14 day mark to make an accusation or up to 48 hours after the game is ended early (but not more than they would have had under the 14 day+24 hour scenario).
At the end of the 14 days, the thread will be locked and no further posts may be made.
This game is instant night. If the moderator takes more than 6 hours after the hammer to post the lynch scene, the deadline will be adjusted to increase it by however long the "twilight" period took.
If Day 1 lasts 14 days, then it will deadline with a no lynch, moving immediately to the Post Day 1 phase, and will not allow players to chat with each other.
