Bay 12 Games Forum

Basic rules:
 - No PMing to anyone but me, the mod.
 - No Quoting of the mod in relation to PMs. You are free to quote anything in the thread. You may also paraphrase.
 - Semi-hammers in effect. Days last on a soft 72 hours, unless majority is voting for any player or No Lynch. If a player is hammered, there is to be no more talking. If you accidentally post something after the hammer, you can and should edit out the post.
 - Nights last 24 hours or whenever all the actions are sent in. If you do not wish to action, please send a PM stating so.
 - Extensions are only by mod discretion. Please be active.
 - Vote by putting player names in bold and red:  Bold and Red.
 - Use powers by sending a PM to the mod with the name of the player you want to target; scum can do this using their discord channel.
- Players are limited to one action per night unless otherwise stated.
- Mafia have a shared night-kill that one of them can use each night. This ability doesn't appear on censuses and cannot be swapped out or otherwise removed from a mafia player.
- Third parties will only appear in the setup when there are 11+ players. Roles won't be generated with unwinnable wincons. Third-parties leave the game when they win.
- Mode of death (poison, kill, arson etc.) is revealed on death.
- Ties at end of day are randomly resolved.
- Non-players can have spoilspec access to the dead chat, on request.
- Players are invited to treat each other with respect and help make the game a welcoming and fun experience for others.

Town: You win when all scum team members are dead and at least one town player is alive.

Scum: You win when all living players are of your scum team and there is at least one living player. You have a shared mafiakill which may be used by one of the mafia players if no mafia players are using a power which can kill (including poison, infect, consume, ignite etc.).

Third Parties: Custom roles that have a small chance of appearing in any setup. For example: "You are a third-party: you win and leave the game if [player name] is alive at the start of the third day.". "You are a third-party: you win if the town wins."

Players of all alignments may win after their own death so long as their win condition is met.

The powers in this version are based on Xylbot templates. If the ability just has the ability name, like 'copy', 'befriend', etc. it works as the ability normally would work from Xylbot.

- In general, players are not informed of whether they are successful in their action.
- In general, players are not informed of who targeted them. Befriend does inform the player of the befriender.
- If you're unsure what your power does, pm the mod: some of the powers generated are ambiguously worded and require clarification.
- Poison kills the target at the end of the next phase (i.e. a night-poison will kill the target at the end of the next day).
- Infect kills the target at the end of the next cycle (i.e. a night-infect will kill the target at the end of the following night.
- If a player is infected, anyone they target will also become infected.
- Players are not informed when they are poisoned or infected or primed.
- Cure removes poison and infect status; Protect prevents someone from being Killed or Ignited (but not primed).
- Frame also changes the alignment results in census and befriend actions.
- If a power gives half or a third of a list (of names, abilities etc), the number of items will be rounded down.
- A Role is a role name plus all abilities the player with that role name has minus their mafiakill, if they have one, and minus any lines related to the role owner's alignment.
- If an ability allows you to use it twice in a phase and you can pick your target(s) then you can change targets between usage.
- Unless a power states that it targets a random player or yourself, it normally cannot self-target. I.e. if your power is once per night you can block your target, you can't choose yourself.
- The actual player names will replace the dummy names in the "person" section of the source-code.
- The initial setup will be generated with an interesting and an attempt at a fair balance of roles, but any roles/abilities generated during the game (in gifts etc.) will be whatever comes up first on a random generation (providing it's legal for the setup).
- If a player is subject to a rule which says they appear as a third-party on flip or inspection, a specific and consistent 3rd party role will be generated for that purpose.
- Players can have roles which grant them multiple abilities, but unless they can double-act, they may only perform one ability per day or night phase. Auto-abilities don't count towards this limit. The mafiakill does count.

All actions happen simultaneously except where there could be a conflict, all conflict is resolved using the natural action processing order of resolution. Where conflict of interpretation remains, precedence will be decided randomly.

You can copy and paste the source intp this editor (overwriting existing text in the editor).  Let me know if there are obvious bugs.
