Roles, Rules and Replacement

[The Setting Sun]

Roles

Prior to the game beginning, some or many of the items on this page may be removed or altered to reflect the number of players.

Informed Minorities

Monsters

Dracula - Able to kill, investigate or turn a player at night. Only gets one turn attempt. Also masons with Satan.
Olrox - Becomes Dracula if Dracula dies.
Interceptor Werewolf - Kills his killer (last voter or otherwise).
Werewolf Framer - Disguises his team's kills however he wants.
Devil - Counts as an inno for win condition calculation purposes. Has a night scry. Doesn't know who his teammates are to start, but joins their chat if he finds one.

The Monsters win when their team equals or outnumbers the other living players at dawn, or when nothing can prevent that from happening, unless the Secret Boss is alive, and then he wins instead and the Monsters lose.

Mobsters

Satan – Has a nightkill. He can predict one death each night (to occur before the next nightphase) and if he stocks two correct predictions, he gets another kill. The predicted deaths must be nightkills by non-Mafia players, or lynches. Also masons with Dracula.
Fogger - Makes all learned information useless for one player.
Forger - Causes a player to appear to be Mafia for the night.
Bomb - Kills killer (last voter or nightkiller).
Scrambler - Permanently scrambles one player's powers once per game.
Limiter - Once per game, may elect to have the following day truncated by 24 hours.

The Mobsters win when their team equals or outnumbers the other living players at dawn, or when nothing can prevent that from happening, unless the Secret Boss is alive, and then he wins instead and the Mobsters lose.

The Secret Boss

Weretiger - Only dies by the lynch at majority. This role stacks with all other roles/powers. On odd nights, gains these powers: A night kill, and he only appears guilty on nights he kills. On even nights, gains these powers: Only appears guilty to the Rolechecker's scan.

The Secret Boss wins when another team's victory condition is fulfilled and he's alive. In that case, the Weretiger wins instead of that team.

The Uninformed Majority

Brontocents

Little Girl - Hears all PMs between badguys sans player names.

Batman - Can leave notes for the town.
Vampire Slayer - Kills a vampire once any time.

AH Owner - Determines AH lineup. Gets 5% if >1/2 of all remaining money is spent at night.
Fool - Wins if lynched.
Oracle - Learns the alignment of another player each night.
Guardian Angel - As long as he's alive, roles are revealed upon death.

Rules

Moderation

1) Breaking the letter of any law will result in an instant modkill. The spirit of the law is open to bashing like a cute baby seal, of course.
2) There is no talking about this game outside of the game threads specifically denoted by your role PM as being yours to post in.
3) Do not directly quote more than two words in your role PM within a single post, or use any method such as photoshop or screencaps to prove your role to anybody.
4) No editing or deleting posts.
5) Blue is a moderator color. Do not use blue text for any reason.
6) If a player has not posted within a reasonable length of time they may be prodded. Prods are cumulative, and three prods result in replacement. Giving a public notice of absence grants immunity from prods.
7) Nights have no time limit. Even days end after 72 hours. Odd days have no time limit whatsoever.
8) After the final night action is in, there will always be an unrevealed length of time before the game resumes to avoid metagaming based on login times.
9) Roles are randomly assigned by die roll.
10) The order of powers resolutions is: Monster conversion attempts, Mafia kills, Monster kills, Roleblocker (Protection Items, Baner, Shield), Conversions, Other murderers' kills, Investigator (Cowboy, Indian, Rolechecker, etc.), Other types.
11) The order of phase operations is: Night 0, day 1 hammer vote, end of day post, auction resolution, lynch, night 1, day 2 start post, day 2 plurality vote, end of day post, auction resolution, lynch, night 2, day 3 start post, etc.
12) We can change the rules but will avoid it all all cost.
14) Players are expected to use only the accounts they've been given to play the game. Maintaining anonymity is the onus of the individual.

Communication

Each team with night chat will have a separate thread to play and talk in. In addition, the VIP Room will be a link sent to non-players who request it with links to each of those threads, so that observers can peruse the whole game at will and comment in the VIP Room thread.

Day/Night Phases

Day 1 - Majority votes needed to lynch.
Day 2 - Plurality of votes lynches after 72 hours.
Day 3 - Majority votes needed to lynch.
Day 4 - Plurality of votes lynches after 72 hours.
etc.

Power Chaining

Two players start empowered, with a third nominated for empowerment. Should an empowered player die, the nominated player becomes empowered and a new nomination is made. Non-empowered players are vanilla innocent townies. Empowerment and on-deck status are displayed in the first post of the main game thread.
