Mechanics

Town Composition

There will be a maximum of fifteen non-traveller players, and a minimum of five. Those players will be assigned to one of four character types. Players that start as Townsfolk or Outsiders are on the Good team, while players that start as Minions or Demons are on the Evil team. Players cannot change alignments or characters unless stated.

The number of players to the amount of character types in play is

Total Players	Townsfolk	Outsiders	Minions	Demons
5	3	0	1	1
6	3	1	1	1
7	5	0	1	1
8	5	1	1	1
9	5	2	1	1
10	7	0	2	1
11	7	1	2	1
12	7	2	2	1
13	9	0	3	1
14	9	1	3	1
15	9	2	3	1

No two players will have the same ability at the start of the game, unless explicitly specified.

Starting Evils know each other’s identities and character types, unless specified.
The abilities of certain characters modify the game setup, by adding or subtracting certain characters or character types. These are denoted in [square brackets], and only have an effect if the character is present at the beginning of the game.

Characters

All players start with exactly one of the following abilities, depending on their character type. Townsfolk and Outsiders are good characters, while Minions and Demons are evil characters.

Night* (with an asterisk) in all contexts means “Night, except the first.”
**-Ability must be claimed to have an effect on the game state.

	Possible Townsfolk Characters
Steward	You start knowing 1 good player.
Preacher	Each night, choose a player: a Minion, if chosen, learns this. All chosen Minions have no ability.
Fortune Teller	Each night, choose 2 players: you learn if either is a Demon. There is a good player who registers as a Demon to you.
Town Crier	Each night*, you learn if a Minion nominated today.
Innkeeper	Each night*, choose 2 players: they can’t die tonight, but 1 is drunk until dusk.
Gambler	Each night*, choose a player & guess their character: if you guess wrong, you die.
Exorcist	Each night*, choose a player (different to last night): the Demon, if chosen, learns who you are then doesn’t wake tonight.
Gossip	Each day, you may make a public statement. Tonight, if it was true, a player dies.
Alsaahir	Once per day, if you publicly guess which players are Minion(s) and which are Demon(s), good wins.
Seamstress	Once per game, at night, choose 2 players (not yourself): you learn if they are the same alignment.
Huntsman	Once per game, at night, choose a living player: the Damsel, if chosen, becomes a not-in-play Townsfolk. [+the Damsel]
Ravenkeeper	If you die at night, you are woken to choose a player: you learn their character.
Cannibal	You have the ability of the recently killed executee. If they are evil, you are poisoned until a good player dies by execution.

	Possible Outsider Characters
Puzzlemaster	1 player is drunk, even if you die. If you guess (once) who it is, learn the Demon player, but guess wrong & get false info.
Tinker	You might die at any time.
Plague Doctor	If you die, the Storyteller gains a Minion ability.
Damsel	All Minions know you are in play. If a Minion publicly guesses you (once), your team loses.

	Possible Minion Characters
Summoner	You get 3 bluffs. On the 3rd night, choose a player: they become an evil Demon of your choice. [No Demon]
Witch	Each night, choose a player: if they nominate tomorrow, they die. If just 3 players live, you lose this ability.
Assassin	Once per game, at night*, choose a player: they die, even if for some reason they could not.
Godfather	You start knowing which Outsiders are in play. If 1 died today, choose a player tonight: they die. [-1 or +1 Outsider]

	Possible Demon Characters
Kazali	Each night, choose a player: they die. [You choose which players are which Minions. -? to +? Outsiders]*
No Dashii	Each night*, choose a player: they die. Your 2 Townsfolk neighbors are poisoned.

Storyteller

The Storyteller is the key moderator for the game; All ability uses at night must be sent to the Storyteller via private message, and Storyteller will have the final say on any open-ended ability behaviors. The Storyteller’s goal is to keep the game both fun and balanced, and they’ll often be trying to make it last as long as possible; however, the Storyteller may not alter any existing rules to accomplish this.

The Fabled

The Fabled are special modifiers that the Storyteller can put in play to tweak the game. Fabled will always be announced when they are in play, along with their effect upon the gamestate. The fabled that I may put in play are the Hell’s Librarian to prevent night talking, the Fiddler if both the demon and the town refuse to kill, the Djinn to indicate there are characters jinxed with each other and the Bootlegger to indicate custom rules in place.


Fiddler	Once per game, at night, the Demon secretly chooses a player of an opposing alignment; All players then vote which of these two wins the game.
Hell’s Librarian	Something bad might happen to whomever speaks when the Storyteller calls for silence.
Djinn	Use the Djinn’s special rule. All players know what it is.
Bootlegger	This script has homebrew characters or rules.

Malfunctions

Malfunctioning is the main source of interference with abilities. A malfunctioning character is not directly told that they are malfunctioning and cannot affect the gamestate in any way using their ability, primarily killing. If a malfunctioning character would receive information, then the information they receive is arbitrary, which means the host can decide whether or not to give true information. The malfunctioning status lasts indefinitely unless stated otherwise.

Nominations and Voting

After twelve hours, the nomination phase will be opened. Players must be nominated before they may be voted on that day. Each player may only be nominated once per day, and each player may only nominate once per day.
When a nomination is opened, the storyteller begins to track votes for that nomination. Votes do not lock. Votes are cast using the standard voting system, and the first “vote” on someone is seen as a nomination on them.
Any votes that are not cast by the end of day, after forty-eight hours of the day starting, will be considered votes to pardon. If the count of votes to execute is half or more of the number of living players (not half+1), and is the highest count of votes against any player that day, the accused will be considered “about to die”. At the end of the day or when all votes on all nominations have been cast, the player who is “about to die” will be executed. If there is a tie between two or more players for the highest count of votes, the day will end with no execution. The Storyteller may only declare an early end to voting if it is no longer possible to tie or exceed the highest nomination.

Whispers

Players may whisper each other in-game through private messages (only including the host account @MotherPoppo). Whispers must be publicly announced, by requesting permission to whisper using the format /whisper [Player]. Once a whisper has been declared and accepted, the two players may whisper via private message until one of them speaks publicly in the game chat, at which point the whisper is considered broken and the players must declare whispers again if they wish to whisper. You may whisper several players at the same time, announcing all the players in the whisper and having all of them confirm
Whispers are allowed for the 1st 24 hours of the day, and are unlimited for each player.

Each player may, in addition, make a whisper per day to each neighbour of up to 15 words without announcing this in thread.

If your ability requires you to privately speak to the storyteller during the day, you must declare it publically by saying /whisper Storyteller. You may choose to declare this even if you do not have one of these abilities.

Death

When a player dies, their role and alignment aren’t revealed, but they continue to be allowed to speak in thread. They can’t nominate or call for the exile of travellers and have only one “vote token”, which they may expend on a nomination to cast a vote, losing it afterwards. When player dies, unless otherwise specified, their ability stops working, which means that a player killed before they would perform their ability will not perform their ability (check Night Action Resolution) and any ability with a constant effect will cease.

Victory

Good wins if all Demons are dead.
Evil wins if only 2 players (not counting Travellers) live.

In the rolecards, it will be phrased as:
Your team wins if all Demons are dead.
Your team wins if only 2 players (not counting Travellers) live.

In the event of a tie, the good team win.
Alternate routes to victory or defeat may exist as detailed by characters’ abilities. The list of all possible characters is above.

Travellers

Jinxes

	Djinn’s Jinxes
Summoner + Preacher	If the Preacher chose the Summoner on or before the 3rd night, the Summoner chooses which Demon, but the Storyteller chooses which player.
Summoner + Kazali	The Summoner cannot create an in-play Demon. If the Summoner creates a not-in-play Demon, deaths tonight are arbitrary.
Summoner + Puzzlemaster	If the Demon is summoned onto the puzzledrunk player, the puzzledrunk is moved to another player.
Kazali + Huntsman	If the Kazali chooses the Damsel to become a Minion, and a Huntsman is in play, a good player becomes the Damsel.
