I've made three wild and crazy games so far. Let's pull it back with something a little more straightforward. Or at lot more straightforward.

What is this?
This is a vanilla game for 15 players.

Do I need to know about cooking to play this?
No, that's Cookfia. This isn't Cookfia.

Do I need to read my role PM to play this?
No, but I decided to put something in your role PM to encourage you to read it anyway.

The Game
Everyone is a vanilla townie or a vanilla scum. There are no powers. There are no passives. It's all up to you.

Now for the important part that I stole from another Mafia thread: the rules.

Rule 0, the important one that overrules all other rules: First and foremost, we are here to have fun and enjoy ourselves. Please make sure that at all times you put your own sanity and mental well-being first. If at any point you feel like you're having a bad time, like someone's taking things too far or just need someone to talk to, please contact one of our many community volunteers. The following users have been suggested as points of contact: The Traditional Games forum moderators, Leperflesh and Antivehicular; and Mafia regulars VoodooFly, Hal Insandenza, Bifauxnen, Monathin, Wologar, Maerlyn, Cloacamazing!, EccoRaven, CCKeane, Opopanax, Sandwolf and Shellception.

1) Don't be a dick.
2) No unsanctioned out of thread communication about the game.
3) No copy-pasting any out of thread info into the thread, especially not your role PM. Paraphrasing is generally fine, when in doubt ask your mods.
4) Do not post after the hammer.
5) Do not fake day actions.
6) Do not post when dead.
7) Don't edit your posts.
8) Lurker rules: I've decided that it's too annoying to try to keep track of post counts specifically, just try to post every day.
9) Seriously, don't be a dick.

This game contains no elements that are purposefully designed as mod bastardry. There are no hidden components to any role that are not made clear in the role PM. Or this post.

Night action results will be given as "You successfully [action]ed your target.", followed by any further information. Failed actions will be given as "You failed to [action] your target." There will usually be some flavor text in italics delivered with the night results. While flavor text won't outright lie to you, it also isn't part of your result text. Rely on it at your own peril.

You will need Discord to play this. Please join the server here: https://discord.gg/JWNrqe6enk
