NO MORE PLAYERS ARE BEING ACCEPTED FOR THIS ROUND.
You were called away from your clan to the Tangled Wood to discuss something important. That's the short version of the story, anyway. But the moment you arrived here, in this twisting, turning maze of trees and foliage, something went horrible, horribly wrong. You couldn't find a way out, each path chosen simply looping you back to the same clearings and paths over and over. Now you and all the others called here are trapped.
"Let's play a game. There is a killer amongst you," a voice says in a sickly-sweet tone. "They will kill one dragon each night, until no innocents are left alive. Find them first, /kill/ them first, and the rest shall be freed." It sounds simple enough - but everybody says they're innocent, and right now you have no way to prove otherwise. You're going to be stuck here until you can find out who the murderer is, and put them to death.
Let's just hope you can solve the mystery before they kill you all first.
==============================
You might have heard of a game called Mafia, also known as Werewolf! To put it plainly - the players are each given roles and divided into two factions: the Mafia and the Innocent. The Mafia need to kill all Innocent players to win; the Innocent are trying to lynch or otherwise kill the Mafia in order to win. To spice things up, amongst the Innocent there are various "power roles" that have special abilities.
The game is split into two phases, Day and Night. (Ignore the fact that the fluff for this game involves everyone being in an eternally-twilight setting... I'll work something out.) At night, the Mafia and the Innocent power roles will make their choices, and no posts in the main thread are permitted. During the day, all players must decide who they will vote to lynch, with the aim of figuring out who is the Mafia and killing them. Announcements will be made at the beginning of every day to reveal who has died during the night, as well as any other events that happen.
THE KILLERS
No, not the band. These dragons want nothing more than to see every other dragon in the group dead. To that end, they may communicate privately at night to decide which player is their unfortunate target, and then tell me who they've picked to kill that night. The Killers win when all non-Killer players are dead.
THE INNOCENT
The Innocents possess no special powers, and cannot act during the Night phase.
THE HEALER
The Healer may choose one player during each Night phase. This player is protected from all harm and cannot be killed during that Night phase, even if the Healer is then killed later on in that same Night. If there are multiple Healers, and those Healers happen to choose the same target on the same Night, their healing magics will clash and the target will be killed, even if they were not attacked by the Killers.
THE ORACLE
The Oracle may choose one player during each Night phase. They will be informed whether that player is allied with the Killers or the Innocents, but will not be told what that player's actual role is.
THE LOVER(S)
The Lover chooses another player on the first Night phase. The two fall madly in love and may communicate privately at any point, but their win condition changes: they may only win if they are the last players left alive. However, if the Lover or their beloved dies at any point and for any reason, the other will commit suicide out of grief.
THE VIGILANTE
The Vigilante is on the side of the Innocents, but don't think for one second that they are one of them. The Vigilante is not afraid to get his or her claws dirty, and may choose one player each Night phase to kill. Obviously this option is to be avoided unless you are convinced your target is a Killer; nobody wants to be the idiot that butchered the Healer on the first Night phase, right?

- Post in this thread declaring your intent to play, and provide a dragon image (not required but I would like it if you did). When there are enough players to begin, I will randomly assign roles to the players and send a private message to each, informing them of their role and reminding them of any powers they may have. The first Night phase begins at this point.
- During the Night phase, no posts are allowed in the thread. The Killers may communicate in private (if there is more than one) to decide who their target should be. Healers, Oracles, and Vigilantes may send me a private message containing the name of their target for that night. The first Night phase also allows the Lover to inform me of who they wish to choose as their beloved, and once this has been confirmed, they may communicate privately with their beloved. The Night phase lasts 24 hours to allow enough time for everyone's actions to be sent in.
- When the Night phase ends, the Day phase begins. I will post in the thread informing all players of the previous Night's deaths, if any. After that, players have 24 hours to discuss events and decide on who to lynch that day, if anyone. All votes will be tallied up at the end of the Day phase and I will post to announce the day's lynching (or lack thereof) and begin the next Night phase, if there will be one.
- Player roles will be revealed upon death. Obviously, /who killed/ the player will not be announced, though differences can be made between a Killer/Vigilante kill and a Healer clash. Dead players may not talk in the thread, nor may they vote or communicate with other players.
- When voting, please place the following at the end of your post to make it easy to tell when you are actually voting:
Failing to do so means your vote will not count towards the lynching. If you are actively choosing to abstain, state:Code:[b]I vote for PLAYERNAMEHERE.[/b]Code:[b]I abstain from the vote.[/b]
- The Killers win if they are the last players left alive. The Innocents win if all Killers are dead. The Lovers win if they are the last players left alive; they lose if either of them die, as the other will follow them to the grave.
- At no point are players allowed to discuss the game with other players outside of the thread unless their role permits it! Keep all discussion to the thread during the Day phase. This is an honor-based system and I would like to trust you all; please don't cheat!
- All players, dead or alive, will be pinged at each phase-change. (If you are deceased and would like to be removed from the pinglist, please let me know in a PM.)
- Feel free to roleplay or add flavour text to your posts; just don't make it hard to read for your fellow players, and remember to follow rule five.
- Confused by anything in this post? Just ask! This is the first time I've tried setting up a forum-based mafia in several years. I'm bound to have missed SOMETHING.
Just post in the thread. Since I'd like to write flavour text for each decision to keep it interesting, it would be nice of you to post a dragon image to be used. This doesn't actually have to be one of /your/ dragons; you could always just make someone neat in the Scrying Workshop. If no dragon image is provided, I'll just go off of whoever you're using as an icon.
At least ten players are required to begin play. More than that, and I'll simply increase numbers of special roles to match.
