The great town of ACville has endured many REAL threats…mafia, zombies, werewolves, witches, and genetic anomalies…however none have been so threatening as the made-up, the FAKE. Will science eventually rule supreme?

Game Rules:

1. Each game day, everyone has to vote to lynch someone before nightfall. Your vote must be stated in BOLD.
ex."I vote to send _____ to the loony bin

You cannot vote for no one or yourself. If you fail to vote you will die an untimely death that nightfall.

If you decide to switch your vote, state in BOLD you are doing so by stating "I retract my vote on _____ and vote to send _________ to the loony bin".


Whoever has the most votes will be lynched; in the event of a tie the loser will be randomly chosen.

2. The priority of night time will be as follows:

Disgruntled Worker’s blackmail
Institutionalization
Doctor’s protection
Conspiracy theorists’ hit
Mad Hatter's protection
Rocket Scientist’s hit
Psychic/News Reporter’s investigation
Blogger/News Reporter’s report
Untimely deaths

3. Everything stays in the game, no PMing people and setting up deals or alliances, or discussing issues in this game on other sites. The sole exception to this rule is the authorization by me for special role players to do so.

4. You can say whatever you want in this game, but you cannot prove it with my PM to you. However, please stay "in character," as no role claiming is allowed. Any disregard for this rule will result in a mod-kill of the player involved.

5. If you have questions, PM me or ask in the game thread. If it is important to all, I will post it in the game thread. I prefer PM for game issues.

6. Do not edit your posts for any reason.

7. Please keep after death posts to a minimum. No revealing any additional information. If you are dead, you are dead. Dead players previously communicating with any teammates will still be allowed to chat with their team in their respective den.

8. THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE. This is a game, it is meant to be fun. In the course of the game your words will be twisted, misinterpreted, and taken in various contexts so it important to realize that the group of players here are generally good natured and mean nothing by it. Do not take anything said in game by anyone to be a personal attack or insult. If you feel that you are being personally attacked or insulted let me know and I will take action if I feel it is necessary.

9. In the case that unforeseen circumstances arise I reserve the right to alter or amend rules in order to maintain the game as needed. Again, if you have issues please speak to me in private.

Game Roles:

Townies: You win when all of the conspiracy theorists are eliminated.

Innocents: ACville has once again been infested by an evil threat. Your mission is to eradicate it by voting to institutionalize someone each night.

Doctor: Fresh out of medical school you feel obligated to help save the citizens of ACville. Before each night you may PM me a name who will then become immune from the hit. You cannot stop the lynching and you may not save yourself. You may privately communicate with the News Reporter if you are found via investigation.

News Reporter: You have the ability to snoop through the background of the citizens of the town in order to root out the threat as well as publish headlines in order to communicate what you have found to the town. Each night you will be granted an investigation result on the person of your choosing. Only alignment will be revealed. The headline may not contain any names or abbreviations linked to any specific player and must be in 10 words or less. The investigation and headline may be sent to me at any time prior to nightfall.

Rocket Scientist: You have the power to infiltrate one player’s mind and fill it with encyclopedias' worth of scientific jargon. Fortunately (or unfortunately) this information overload will kill them, so choose wisely. You may use this power only once. If the News Reporter finds you via investigation you may communicate with them.

Conspiracy Theorists: You win when your team controls at least 50% of the town. Each night you can hit one player as a group. You may communicate with each other outside the game thread.

Disgruntled Government Worker: Your previous experience with the endless filing of paperwork allows you to one time change a vote that is submitted by any townsperson. In order to use the blackmail you must PM me the name of the person who shall receive the blackmail as well as the person who they must vote for. The receiver may not reveal to the town that they have been blackmailed. If you die your team loses this ability.

Psychic: You are the member of the conspiracy theorists who is able to predict the future. In reality, you are just very good at guessing. During each nightfall you have the power to gain the knowledge of one player’s role. Only alignment will be revealed. If you die your team loses this ability.

Blogger: You are the member of the conspiracy theorists with the best typing skills. One time after the third nightfall you are able to submit your own headline that will be revealed to the town in place of the News Reporter’s headline. The same restrictions still apply. If you die your team loses this ability.

Mad Hatter: You are the member of the conspiracy theorists who makes the best tinfoil hats in town. You have the opportunity to give a hat to one of your teammates each nightfall in order to block the Rocket Scientist’s information overload, effectively saving your teammate’s (in)sanity. You may not use it on the same player two nights in a row. These hats will only block the “hit” and not the lynching. If you die your team loses this ability.

Untimely Deaths (UDs):
Please don't sign up if you are not going to play as it just ruins the game for everyone. Again, you will die a humiliating death if you do not vote every game day. If you must remove yourself from the game please PM me and your role will be revealed the next nightfall. If you post that you are leaving then I will take that as an official death request. No exceptions. If you are a player with a history of unacceptable UDs then I, as mod, reserve the right to not allow you as a player. If you UD I will also take your actions during this game into consideration for future games I moderate.


Please DO NOT post until I state that all roles have been sent out.
 
well, since you're not going to say it.

first!
 
Cool! This one sounds fun!
 
Helllllllloooooo
