Behind the mask: Illusions.
Hosted by Marluna and ElizaThePsycho.
General Basics:
-keep the forum roles in mind.
-Every PM in this game should include both Marluna and ElizaThePsycho (and not this account.)
-The last player standing is the victor. There can only be 1 survivor.
-A player’s role is not revealed when they die (of course, if their role was guessed you might know it).
-Each player will have a different role.
-dead players are allowed to communicate in the game thread.
-every role which reveals their action to the public acts at the end of their respective phase. (aka MAA killing someone will be announced at the end of VP, and so on.) The only exception from this rule is the Sorcerer.
-after the first player dies, everyone can pick a player to sponsor, until the end of the next phase. (You cannot pick yourself) They win if their sponsored player win. (if someone doesn’t pick, their pick will be randomized.)
-If a dead player has charges left from their ability, once per game they can give their ability to any living player, for a single phase.
Dead players need to PM me, before the phase starts, if they want to give their ability to someone. (if their power is useful in VP, they need to choose giving the power during AP.) The targeted player will be notified and have a single phase to decide what to do with it.
Gameplay:
The game have a 4 phase cycle, challenge phase, preparation phase, action phase, voting phase.
After Voting phase starts the next challenge phase, and the cycle repeats until there is a sole Survivor.
Challenge Phase
The game starts with a Challenge phase
The Challenge Phase lasts at least 24 hours or until all player submitted a challenge.
-The game begins on this phase.
-Players may challenge other players to dances, duels or intellect battle in the first half of the phase via PMing the host.
-players can use encore only in this half of the CP.
-If a player does not wish to challenge, they may instead “/nochallenge”.
Preparation phase:
-the Preparation phase last 24 hours or until all intended challenges have a conclusion.
-Preparation phase is after the challenge phase, and happens only if at least one player challenged an other player.
-Once issued, the challenged player must choose whether to “/accept” the challenge or use a “/deny” via PM to the host (all players begin the game with a deny).
-If the challenged player does not respond in reasonable time, the challenge is automatically accepted.
-The results of the challenges will be posted at the end of the Action Phase (see Action Phase).
-The victors of duels and dances are determined by which player’s roles are higher on the respective list (see below), plus any interfering abilities.
The positions inside each category will be randomized at the start of the game. This list will be fixed through the game, but won’t be revealed.
(with no interference, person in “excellent in duel” will win against someone in “good in duel”, but if two people both in “excellent in duel” make a duel challenge the victor is based on a secret list, and without interference the victor always will be the same.)
Action Phase
-The Action Phase lasts 24 hours, or until all actions have been received.
-Roles with abilities that are used during the Action Phase can PM the moderator to use them. Currently, this is the Blacksmith and Musician.
-Players have to select gifts during this phase (see below).
-For each challenge participated in, the player earns one gift. Gifts are not revealed.
-The results for challenges will be posted at the end of the Action Phase.
Voting Phase
-The Voting Phase lasts 48 hours, OR until all players have voted and all players have switched or noswitched.
-The Voting Phase will occur during the first round, and there will be an execution.
-Any player who lost a duel or dance during the past Challenge Phase is a valid vote target.
-You may “/switch” your plate of food with the plate of another player, consuming a plate switch (each player begins with one plate switch).
-The player with the most votes at the end of the phase will be executed.
-Ties are settled by the hosts’ discretion
-Each player is given a plate of food.
-At the end of the phase, each player eats the food in front of them.
-Players who eat poison food will die. (unless something prevents this.)
-In addition, once per game, if you received a free guess as a gift, you must use it during this Phase. If you are correct, that player will be executed at the end of the Dinner Phase. All attempted guesses are revealed at the end of the Dinner Phase.
-You always may make a guess as to another player’s role staking your life. However, if you are incorrect, you will be executed. If you are executed, your guess will be nullified, if you staking your life. (other death types don’t interfere with it.)

One of them is true, the other is a lie.

You came here to wage revenge against this King, and defeat him in war. You are willing to do anything to get this castle, even harm the innocent. people in this castle.
You may drug somebody’s food. Drugged food guarantees that the victim automatically loses all their challenges next CP. (musician/Blacksmith/clergyman still can change these.)
Additionally, you may give someone steroids. This will bring them to the top of both lists for one phase (above everything), but they will suffer by being on the bottom of both lists for three cycles. (making their challenges a draw by default.)
Also you may give them a sedative. Sedative food causes the victim to fall asleep midday the day afterwards, preventing them from voting/guessing during the next voting phase. (if they took free guess, its duration is prolonged to the next cycle.)
You can use two of your three powers each action phase, but you cannot give drugs and steroids to the same person in the same phase.
Also you need to use a different combination than you used in the last AP.Players are not told if they are drugged, steroided.

You may only predict each role once per game.
If any roles you predict are guessed at that phase, those guesses are failed (even if right.) and you learn the roles of those who had their guesses failed because of you. (but if there are multiple failed guesses in the same phase, you won’t learn which role is which player.)

Your position in the duel/dance lists is always in the middle of any challenge list of the alive players.
(with odd numbers you are exactly at the middle, with even numbers you are one above the middle.)

As players die, your position update accordingly based on the remaining pool of players.

You automatically lose any challenge you participate in.
5 Times per game during the preparation phase, you may choose to intervene on any challenge. (you won’t get back your charge if the challenge was denied.)
If you do this, you will take the place of one of the two players in that challenge of your choosing, using your placements on the list instead.
Your impersonated victim will take the fall for any losses that happen during an intervened challenge, but you won’t receive any gifts.

You are a Warden!
As the head of an isolated, maximum security prison which holds some of the most notorious criminals to date, it’s no wonder that lawbreakers around the world fear you and the power you possess.

Every voting Phase, you may choose to watch a player. At the start of the next voting Phase, you will know if they performed an action or not as well as how many actions, while you were watching them.
You will not be told in which phase(s) the watched player performed an action.
The player will not know that they are being watched.

This “lockdown” will last until the end of the next voting Phase.
During a lockdown, any illegal activity’s final target will be reported to the Warden.
This includes: intimidation, blackmail, poisoning and using drugs or seductives. (technically forging, shooting other persons, and gambling should be here too, but the Warden overlooks these crimes.)

Each AP you can choose one role. You can choose each role only once. If the chosen role is already dead, you will gain their ability, and can use it, starting from the next VP. You gain full charges. However, you can be guessed as any role you have already chosen with your Kleptomaniac ability.

You are an Aristocat!
From childbirth you have been a fortunate soul, money, wealth, and everything you’ve ever desired flowing into your hands like quicksilver.

For your clientele is a shadowy business and only those with a silver tongue will make it to the top.
Three times per game, you may bribe someone. PM the moderator to use this power.
If your target was to ever die, you will receive every gift the dead player has. There are no restrictions on when you may use this power, only that you cannot use it if you are one of the losers in a voting phase.
You may have up to one bribed target at a time.

Puppet Master (secondary role)
You are the Puppet Master!
You grow tired of BtM games that go stale, and have made it your mission to force the games to go at a reasonable pace, by any means needed.
If players have not made their challenges or plate swaps within 24 hours of the phase starting, you may PM the moderator a selection for them. And you choose the next puppet Master. (you cannot choose yourself.)
If there is any dead player who wasn’t puppet Master yet, they have to be picked first.
.
The Lover (secondary role)
Whenever an action will target your other half you will be made aware whether it be blackmail, intimidation, poison, changes in dance/duels, etc. Nothing escapes your eye.
You win if your other half wins.
When your significant other dies or you claim to be the Lover, this secondary role will given to an other player randomly. (this includes dead players too.)
To join, /in with an animal mask to be referred to as.
disclaimer one:
The rolelist contains a lot of untested roles and some personal changes. (which would not benefit in smaller games) so even I don’t know how balanced the setup is.
disclaimer two
The game uses a directed role randomness. All roles indicated as CORE are guarantee to be in the game. (game won’t start below 16 player.) Each other role have a condition to be rolled (it is most case is the playercount. Once playercount reaches a specific number each role in that role can role. So a 20 player game can have 4 (20+) roles and none of the (17+) roles. The only exception are the (30+) roles. Only one of them can roll.
