A Nancy Drew Mafia mystery :xbones:

There are 22 players in this game. The roles may or may not include, and may or may not be limited to, the following:

5-7 Black Skull Mafia
1 Cop (may investigate role of 1 player per night)
1 Doctor (may protect one player from being killed per night, cannot protect themselves)
1 Vigilante (may kill one suspected mafia per night)

All game play occurs during the daytime. Each game day will last a maximum of one week in human time. During the day, players will vote for people they think should be lynched. Votes must be in bold or they won't be counted.

When one person receives the votes of 50% +1 of the players, that person is lynched and night falls. If a week elapses with no vote majority achieved, the day will end with a no-lynch and night will fall anyway. Game play will immediately cease. There is no posting allowed on the thread after nightfall.

During the night, the mafia PM each other to determine whom they wish to kill, and then PM me the name of their victim. Any specials that may be in the game will decide whom they wish to target, then PM me their choice.

The townie PM reads, in whole or in part:

Townie PMYou are {insert name here}, a River Heights townie. Your only powers are the ability to post, vote, and think in the game thread during the day. You win the game along with the rest of the town when all the Black Skull Mafia are dead.

Mass role claims will not work. Everyone with something to hide will be provided with a townie alias. Should you chose to claim a role, quoting your PM verbatim is not allowed. Paraphrasing is fine.

Players (in alphabetical order):

For those of you who have not played here at :ff:

before, you can view all of one player's posts in order by clicking on their username and selecting "Show only x's posts." That will generate a thread that consists solely of that person's posts. The above list links to all of each player's posts in this thread, as will the player list in every vote tally.

Please change your profile settings so you browse in invisible mode. This will prevent any self-styled Nancy Drews from lurking on your profile to see what you're up to at night. Click on User Tools - Edit Options, check the "Use invisible mode" box and click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

Non-players, players waiting for dawn to break, and deceased players can observe the goings-on from the safety of the Peanut Gallery, but they cannot play the game there. That means no speculating out loud on who might be guilty, who might be what role, etc.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to PM me at any time. For general information about mafia, see the Mafiascum Wiki.

I am sending out the role PMs now. Please wait to post in this thread until I announce daybreak.
