Tales of the Abyss
Knight-Errant
Hosted by @Marluxion and @Silviu200530. Setup designed by Alduskkel on MafiaScum.
Rules:
- Follow the Global Rules and Forum Game Rules .
- To ensure the game runs smoothly, players who fail to meet the requirement of 15 substantive, on-topic posts will be immediately replaced. Players who zero-post in the first 24 hours of a day phase without informing the hosts in advance may also be replaced (if you must miss the first 24 hours, inform the hosts). These requirements may be adjusted if the day ends early due to majority.
- Refrain from excessive ATE (appeals to emotion). Excessive ATE includes, but is not limited to, statements that directly say or imply that something in the game is having a negative impact on someoneās out of game relationships or well-being. Ordinary manipulation is still allowed.
- I will be closely monitoring the thread for toxicity, harassment, and excessive ATE. However, please do not hesitate to bring problematic posts to my attention if you believe I missed them.
The Setup
9 Vanilla Town
2 Masons
2 Mafia Goons
1 Jack-of-all-trades Serial Killer (see below for what abilities are given)
2 Town Power Roles and 2 Mafia Power Roles based on the following table:
A chess knight is randomly placed on the above 4x4 table. The knight then moves randomly. All 4 roles that the knight passes through will be added to the setup. An example setup is Town Cop + Town Tracker vs. Mafia Even-Night Watcher and Mafia Bulletproof.
Godfathers are investigation immune to both Gunsmiths and Cops. Godfathers are not bulletproof.
The Serial Killer will get 1x Strongman and 1x of all power roles that were added to the setup. If the power is Bulletproof or Godfather, the action is not passive and must be activated on the night to gain the benefit. The Serial Killer may perform only one additional one-shot action in addition to their kill, unless they are using a Commute, in which case they are unable to use their kill. The Serial Killer will show up as guilty to a Cop, but not guilty to a Gunsmith.
List of Setup Possibilities:
Flavor is randomized and not role or alignment indicative.

Gameplay
- Days are 48 hours unless majority is reached early and nights are 24 hours. SoD/EoD will be at 2pm Central time.
- Executions are majority and plurality.
- No-execute is a valid vote, and may be hammered to end the day early. In cases where no-execute and another vote are tied at the end of the day, no-execute will have priority in the rand. In all other cases of a tie, the execution will be determined at random from among the tied players.
- Self-votes are considered valid votes.
- Votes are locked in LyLo (execute-or-lose) scenarios, but not in MyLo (misexecute-and-lose) scenarios. That is to say, in situations where town must execute correctly or lose, the first vote cast by a given player is final and cannot be changed.
- All votes must follow the official voting format, using vote tags.
- The Mafia will communicate through a private Discord server.
- The factional kill is optional.
- The factional kill is assigned to a specific member of the Mafia. If no member is specified, it will be assigned to the member who submitted the nightkill.
- Each member of the mafia may only carry one action per night. The serial killer, however, can take two actions every night. One of them must be their kill action.
- When the serial killer dies, their 1-shot abilities will not be publicly revealed.
