** RULES OF NORM MAFIA **
-General-
1.Players receive roles at the start of the game.
2.Roles are randomly selected.
3.Mafia are told the identity of other mafia, but townspeople are given no additional starting information.
4.The games alternates between Day and Night (game time, not real time). The game begins at day.
5.You may communicate in whatever way you like. Feel free to lie, cheat, and trick people in order to come out on top.
6.Dead people may still post, but are not allowed to post as a living person for example, talking about clues, trying to vote, giving away information that a Dead person wouldn't be able to give.
7.One may not request or volunteer screenshots, videos, etc. of another role screen or someone's password via the thread, a PM, or any other method. The game is intended to be won via behavioral analysis, special roles, and praying a lot. You will auto-lose if I find out you've been partaking in these ancient acts of evil.
-Night-
1.This is the time that Mafia are allowed to place hits.
2.If you have night actions, you may also use them at this time.
3.Night has a time limit set by the host. Once night is over, a report is posted.
Note: To send a night action, PM it to me in the following form:
Quote
[action name] : [action target(s)]
Quote
Night hit: eVILdesk
Please write the names fully and correctly. Note that if a night hit was submitted and then changed, the new hit is moved to the end of the hit list.
Note: This is the order of night actions (Not necessarily reflected in game posts).
-Doctors protect, townies dodge/save, and other non-hit effects take place.
-Mafia hits
-Non-Mafia hits.
-Any Investigations that may occur.
-Day.
If you send in a Hit, but change your target afterward, your hit will be sent to the end of the list.
-Day-
1.All players gather for a "town meeting" to discuss amongst themselves who might be Mafia.
2.Every player may place a vote to select a player to be lynched and killed off.
3.Players may abstain in order to be accounted for, but not vote.
4.Players may vote for a NO LYNCH instead.
5.You must place your vote in this topic. Make it easy to tell who you're voting for.
6.You cannot vote for yourself, dead people, or people not playing.
7.If a tie happens, whoever was voted for lynching first will be lynched.
8.You may change your vote until the day is over.
9.The lynched person alignment and role is revealed upon death.
-Victory-
1.The day and night cycles repeat until one side is victorious.
2.The town wins when all mafia have been killed.
3.The mafia wins when they outnumber the townspeople.
4.In a case where one mafia and one townsperson remain, the mafia wins.
-- SIGNING UP
If the game has not started, you may sign up by posting in this thread and I will add you to list. There is no maximum amount of players.
Take note of the following:
1. A non-default avatar is required to play. If you wish to play, make sure you have chosen a unique avatar.
2. If you won't play without a special role, don't play at all. If you won't contribute jack shit to the town, don't play at all. Useless and inactive townies ruin balancing and ultimately, the game itself.
3. If you plan on being away from the game for more than 3 days at a time during the game, it is better that you do not play and sit the round out.
4. Please note you will be restricted from editing certain aspects of your profile once the game starts. This is because clues may be based off such things. You are aware of this and agree not to ***** about it.
5. If the game has already started, you must wait until the next game. People always tell me to sign them up during the game. They then become inactive or I forget to sign them up. To prevent this problem, I ask all those who wish to play to wait for the next round.
7. By signing up to play, you agree that you have read and understood the first post(s) containing the rules and setup of the game. Failure to show understanding of the information provided in the first post(s) at any time after signing up may result in a ban from the game.
If you have any questions, PM me or post in the thread.

** ROLES **
TOWNSMAN - The average, ordinary townsman. Their limited powers include the power of persuasion, power of intellect (clue interpretation), and the one-time dodge/save ability.
Power: Dodge - Allows the Townsman to dodge one night hit placed on them that night. May only be used once per game, if and only if Save has not been used previously and is not being used the same night.
Power: Save - Allows the Townsman to prevent one night hit placed on the target of their choice. May only be used once per game, if and only if Dodge has not been used previously and is not being used the same night.
KING – The King is known to all players, and his vote shall count as twice the weight of the average townsman. He cannot be hit for as long as at least one ROYAL GUARD is alive. He has the special power to save someone from being lynched once during the game. If he somehow finds himself being lynched, he cannot save himself.
Power: Pardon – When the power is used, the person who is to be lynched on that day shall be set free. This power may be used only one time during the game.
HERETIC – Heretics appear to be regular townsmen during the day, but at night they are able to use their power to kill one person of their choosing. The Night hit takes one life from the player affected.
Power: Night Hit – The person targeted by this power will die.
HERETIC MAGE – Like a normal HERETIC, except they can only use magic to get things done. The heretic mage may cast one magic spell per night.
Magic: Lightning – The person targeted by this spell will die.
Magic: Protection – The person targeted by this spell will be protected from one hit.
DARK AVENGER – Like a normal HERETIC, except he gains one night life for each one of his fellow heretics that die. At any time that he has at least two night lives, he may convert them to additional night hits. He may use these additional night hits during any night by either targeting more than one person, or targeting a '+1' or '+2' night hit at a given player for double or triple effectiveness. When the DARK AVENGER dies, he appears to be a normal Heretic.
ROYAL GUARD – Defenders of the KING. The royal guard has two non-regenerating Night lives. He has the ability to save, but he cannot dodge.
Power: Save - Allows the Royal Guard to prevent one night hit placed on the target of their choice. May only be used once per game.
BLACK WIZARD – He practices the dark arts. Aligned with the town, he may cast one Magic spell per night.
Magic: Lightning - The person targeted by this spell will die.
Magic: DBL Lightning – When successful, this spell will always make contact with it's target. It is also twice as deadly as regular lightning. You may only use this spell one time during the game.
WHITE WIZARD – He practices the light arts. Aligned with the town, he may cast one Magic spell per night.
Magic: Protection – The person targeted by this spell will be protected from one hit.
Magic: Shield - The person targeted by this spell cannot be the target of any other spells for that night. In the event that the player has already been targeted by a spell from another player, Shield has priority.
PRINCE – The prince's identity is a secret for security reasons. He has one additional power that can only be used during the day, but otherwise plays like a normal TOWNSMAN.
Power: Dodge - Allows the Prince to dodge one night hit placed on them that night. May only be used once per game, if and only if Save has not been used previously and is not being used the same night.
Power: Save - Allows the Prince to prevent one night hit placed on the target of their choice. May only be used once per game, if and only if Dodge has not been used previously and is not being used the same night.
Power: Memory – During the day, the prince commits one person's face to memory during the town meeting. If the King is hit, the prince will be there to see it. If the prince recognizes the killer's face, he will avenge his father before the night is over.
BARD – If he is lynched, he will sing a song so sad that the people who voted for him will be too grief-stricken to participate in the next lynch vote. Alternatively, if he is hit at night, he will sing a song so sad that the person that attacked him will be too grief-stricken to use any actions on the next two nights.
CHANNELER – The most talented Wizard. He is town aligned.
Magic: Channel – Channels all spells targeted at a player of your choice to another player of your choice. For example if Roy is being targeted by lightning, this ability will allow you to take that lightning spell and make it re-target a player of your choice. May be used once per night.
Magic: Silence Spell – The person targeted by this spell may not vote. If the spell is cast during day and the target has already voted, it will still be counted, but they will not be able to change their vote. This spell may be used three times during the game at any time.
GHOST – The ghost is not aligned to the town or to the mafia. He has two regenerating Night Lives. As long as the ghost stays alive, he will win the game along side of the winning team. However, if he is lynched, then one fallen Townsmen will be randomly chosen to revive. The ghost's power affects the targeted player either until they die, or the ghost decides to switch the target.
Power: Haunt – The person targeted by this power will fail all attempts at using a Magic ability.
Warning: I will keep an eye on the thread and will try to keep you guys straight. Well, I guess I just hope you guys can play fair, that's all.
I also happen to play the role of "God". My judgment is used where I deem it necessary. Divine intervention via lightning bolts may occur. If you are not monotheistic, you are now. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
