[b]Welcome to Nightingale [/b]

Night 0:
	Welcome to a town called Nightingale; where the wind howls from the east and the moon sits in the west. Night has fallen. Do you have what it takes to survive? Let’s be realistic here… you won’t be able to escape these cellars. Only 24 survivors… You can still hear the fire crackling outside the cellars walls. Nightingale has been burnt to the ground by [r]Mafia[/r]. And, they are here to kill. [r]Mafia’s[/r] not alone though. There’s a [y]Serial Killer[/y] amongst them as well. Who do you trust, who do you fight for, how will you survive these nights?

[b]The Roles:[/b]
MAFIA
**[r][b]Mafia Investigator:[/b][/r] Selects one person each night and learns that player’s role
**[r][b]Executioner:[/r][/b] Can choose to kill any player who reaches 1/3 of the votes during the day round. The player(s) will die at the end of the day round, and at least one vote must come from a non-Mafia member
**[r][b]Thug:[/r][/b] If a Mafia member would die at night, the Thug dies in their place. Can also choose to sacrifice themselves for a Mafia member during the day. Gains +1 point for dying for a Mafia member
**[r][b]Silencer:[/r][/b] Can select one person to silence for the next round
**[r][b]Ninja:[/r][/b] Immune to detection by the Watcher or Tracker
**[r][b]Mafiaso:[/r][/b] No special powers other than factional kill

VILLAGE
**[g][b]Governor:[/g][/b] Can choose to stop all killings during the night, as well as send the Town public messages via the game Host
**[g][b]Nurse:[/g][/b] As Doctor, but roleblocks target in addition to protecting them. Cannot self-target
**[g][b]Gunsmith:[/b][/g] Gives a gun to a player of their choice each night. These guns are one-shot and may be used during the day to kill a player instantly; however, the player who used the gun has a 50% chance of having their identity revealed to the Town. The Gunsmith is compulsive (they must use their power each night) as they do have a business to run, but they can't give their gun to someone who already has an unused one and they cannot select themselves.
**[g][b]Tracker:[/b][/g] Chooses one person to follow each night and learns who that person visits 
**[g][b]Watcher:[/b][/g] Chooses one person’s house to stake out each night and learns who visited that person
**[b][g]Paranoid Gun Owner:[/g][/b] Kills anyone who visits them during the night. If a group targets them, only the first to vote for them will be killed. If a killing role targets them, both the killing role and the PGO will die.
**[g][b]Townies x8[/b][/g] No special powers

THIRD PARTY
**[y][b]Serial Killer:[/y][/b] Selects one person each night to kill. Immune to night detection, and wins the game as the last player standing.
**[y][b]Journalist:[/b][/y] Selects one target each night and learns about all the comings and goings at that player’s house. Can write an article to the Town each day, which the Host will post. Gains +1 points for each lynching they influence
**[y][b]Admirer x2:[/y][b] Knows which player is the Serial Killer, though the Killer does not know who their admirers are (nor do the admirers know each other). They have no special powers of their own, but once the original Serial Killer dies, one of them will be randomly chosen to become the new Killer (and the third after that). Admirers would show up as innocent to a Cop, but once they become Serial Killers themselves they aren't skilled enough to avoid detection, so unlike the normal SK they become vulnerable to Cops, Watchers, Trackers, and the like. Admirers win the game when they and the Serial Killer outnumber the Town + Mafia.

This game's description of the Governor doesn't seem to match how it's been used in prior games, could you clarify?

@BY: Cas was still making role threads when I started stickying. Still another couple coming, it seems.

Also, just so the new players know, you can send short private messages to one another on this site by going to the User CP (top of the page, second icon on the right set of links when you're logged in) and clicking the "Notifications" link. Set the filter to "Mafia" players. You can only send one message to individual users at a time, sending another will overwrite the previous one.

If you have any notifications you can read them by clicking the icon on the top of the page furthest to the right :).

Out Of Game communication (OOG) refers to any kind of communication regarding the game that takes place in private outside of the mafia forum threads. It's allowed this game, but it has a bit of a rough history here and is often disallowed as a game rule. Just something to keep in mind :).

@whoever-reordered-the-stickies: How? I know there's a tool, but have never used it myself and am not exactly sure where to find it.

@Cas 1: does the Serial Killer win with the Admirers?

@Cas 2: what is the Night Action Priority?

March 26, 2014

@1: Yes.

@2: Who makes the actions, you mean?

Sorry, sleepy = out of it. I haven't had breakfast yet, etc.

March 26, 2014

Edit

Castrael

Night Actions Needed From: Mafia Investigator, Governor, Gunsmith, Tracker, Watcher, Serial Killer, Journalist

And I think that's it.

March 26, 2014

Edit

Castrael

The Governor works the same way it does in other games--it stops lynchings during the day only.

This game, Night 0 prevents only killing roles from taking actions. Everyone else with a night action can go ahead and use it.

Night Action priority:

1. Journalist stakeout
2. Watcher/Tracker/Investigator discovery
3. Serial Killer murder
4. Mafia Kill
5. Silencer target
6. Gunsmith gift

Also, as before, the Governor also stops Executioner kills (though you won't be told if they were going to happen or not).

@Hez, it's the tool labelled 'Sticky Sorter'. To the left of forum bans.

Hmm, so looking at the roles. The serial killer is the only additional night kill this game (will be refreshing given how many times we've ended up with loads of night killing roles!). So looking at guaranteed loss of 2 people per night, unless serial killer opts to not kill or is inactive.

Some things that spring to mind, maybe it's because I've not played in some time but...

Serial Killer "wins the game as the last player standing". I'd like more detail on this, does it mean if the mafia all die & town ratio is higher than killer + admirers then the serial killer losses or does it mean the town has to go after the serial killer before game ends?

Gunsmith. What happens if they give their gun to the mafia? Does the mafia kill count as that person using the gun or do they get an extra kill ontop of their regular one (but at a chance of reveal)? I guess same question for Serial Killer, do they then get a 2nd kill?

And, oh wait I see Hez asked about the Governor so that's that cleared up.

So yea, interesting role selection with a large amount of players. This should be fun :)

March 26, 2014

Admirers win the game when they and the Serial Killer outnumber the Town + Mafia.

Gunsmith won't know that they're giving it to Mafia. They get an extra kill. And sadly, the Serial Killer only gets one kill per night; except Night 0. If I'm wrong, lancer can verify.

Life's path is never straight.

Think of the Serial Killer + Admirers as a third faction in the game. The Mafia has to outnumber them + the Town, they have to outnumber the Town + the Mafia, and the Town has to eliminate both. The ratio is essentially 14-6-3, with the Journalist not counting toward any side in particular.

Anyone who gets a gun from the Gunsmith gets to shoot with it, including the Serial Killer and the Mafia. The guns are one-shot and can only be used during the day, and there's a 50% chance the shooter's identity will be revealed. So choose wisely, Gunsmith!

1) Where do Gunsmith-aided kills fit into the NAP?
2) What if two people use their guns on each other?
3) What if one person uses their gun on another, who uses their gun on a third?
4) Does the Silencer get to act on Night 0?

As far as I know, kills with Gunsmith guns occur during the day. If multiple people have guns, it's first-come-first-serve, baybee.

Derp. Thanks Speed, forgot those were day round actions. Obviously it'd be based on timestamps. But still, what will happen if there is the case of matching timestamps?

Related, but not relevant: I forget what the ruling was concerning end-of-round timing... was it that the round ends as soon as the relevant minute begins?

March 27, 2014

Edit

Lightvayne

Speed's correct on the Gunsmith issues, and yeah, that's the way the end-of-round deal works as well (votes after the last minute will not be counted). Odds are pretty low of matching timestamps between two players who targeted each other, but I suppose in that case I'd rule that they took each other out.

March 27, 2014

votes after the last minute will not be counted

Emphasis mine. That's opposite from what Roxas and I were saying.

March 27, 2014

Edit

EvilGuy0613

Probably a silly question, but why are people voting during a night round?

March 27, 2014

Edit

eXcavator

I assume some people were just being silly but it is confusing. Disabling voting during the night rounds when Night Talk is allowed isn't entirely possibly under the current system, because the system was made under the assumption that posting wouldn't be allowed during the night rounds. But since it is, voting is technically possible.

It's still Night 0, any votes placed now aren't going to count until Day 1 starts :).

March 27, 2014

Edit

MajorasMask9

They are not supposed to vote at night when Night Talk is on.
That's one of the things that's bad about Night Talk being on.
Most Host here don't allow it. It also takes away from the Day Round Traffic.
Older gtx0 players should know better.

Hopefully, Castrael or lancer will reset the vote count to 0 when the Day 1 starts.

March 27, 2014

Edit

chiefsonny

Or, I should say, votes made now won't count ever, and will have to be made again after Day 1 starts.

March 27, 2014

Edit

MajorasMask9

Yeah, I wasn't too sure why some were voting either. But, it'll be fixed. No worries.

Also, it's only been about 11 hours into the round. I think. :P

For the new guys, a few things you should know about our regs:

Hindenburg is 20 going on 2. He is beyond imature.

Speed is obsessed with homo-erotica. I still haven't figured out if he is gay...

Apollo, Flare, and Cas are females. The rest of us are guys.

Redack always dies first. He is also sometimes called Moonray.

Chief is in his 80s(I think), so don't be surprised to see any old people jokes aimed at him. He is also a retired fire chief, so don't piss him off.

Kyon can be somewhat of a bully at times. If he starts getting abrasive, just ignore him.

Apollo and Pirate_Ninja tend to post in GIFs, so I hope you don't mind images.

I, myself, have Asperger's Syndrome, so some of what I say may come out wrong or be obvious to others. Also, I am dyslexic and hate when people give me a hard time for my spelling difficulties.

I encourage you guys to check out other forums here that interest you. We may be an eccentric bunch, but we don't bite.
