FLAVOUR: (click to show)
An isolated town's long-standing mayor died mysteriously overnight. Some question whether mafia were involved. The town decides to re-elect a new mayor every day until the crisis is averted.
Meanwhile the town falls into anarchy - everyone fashions themselves a mask and crime soars through the roof. A new store has recently opened with questionable products, but fearful or troublemaking customers only dare enter behind their masks.
Every morning, the town assembles unmasked to elect a new mayor, and every afternoon a lynching is held, again unmasked.
Will the town be able to cooperate amid the chaos, discover the mafia, and restore the peace? And watch out, because someone out there cares for no-one but themself.

GAME MECHANICS: (click to show)
Based on traditional mafia. However, there are some important differences:
Masks: (click to show)
Firstly, each player is given a role PM, and a uniquely coloured mask. The mask colour is important, as it will give you anonymity when performing night actions and buying items. Discovering who is under each mask will become a vital part of the strategy of the game.
Day Structure: (click to show)
Secondly, each day cycle is split into 3 phases instead of 2.
Morning Phase: (click to show)
• Players #ELECT a mayor in the forums.
• Players #BUY items from the Store (via PM to the host)
• Players #BUY items from the Store (via PM to the host)
Afternoon Phase: (click to show)
• Players #LYNCH a player in the forums.
• Players #BUY items from the Store (via PM to the host)
• Players #BUY items from the Store (via PM to the host)
Night Phase: (click to show)
Players perform 2 night actions out of:
• #USE [an item]
• #RUN FOR ELECTION
• #CHECK HOUSES
• #SWAP MASKS [with a player]
• Trade items, information, or Position of Store Owner with another player then seal the deal using #DEAL (can also be done during the Day phases).
• #USE [an item]
• #RUN FOR ELECTION
• #CHECK HOUSES
• #SWAP MASKS [with a player]
• Trade items, information, or Position of Store Owner with another player then seal the deal using #DEAL (can also be done during the Day phases).
When do players wear their masks? (click to show)
As a rule of thumb, all actions done in the Forum (elections and lynchings) are unmasked, as well as PM actions that are mutually agreed between two players (#DEALs, #SWAP MASKS).
All other actions are masked (Store, non-mutually-agreed Night Actions).
All other actions are masked (Store, non-mutually-agreed Night Actions).
Inside or Outside at night? (click to show)
At night, players are outside their houses if they perform a night action (apart from #RUN FOR ELECTION which can be done from inside their houses).
When leaving the house at night, players choose whether to bring coins and items or leave them at the house.
(You'll notice that lots of items can only be used on players who are outside of their houses.)

When do I see players' masks? (click to show)
At night, players see the masks of players they directly interact with (knife attacks, brick attacks (only attacker's mask is seen), #SWAP MASKS). Players’ masks may also be seen by CCTV cameras.
During the day, no-one will see your mask except the Store Owner when you buy an item.

Daily Newspaper: (click to show)
Each morning, the town newspaper will publish the following:
• Night kills
• Break ins
• Spray painted messages
• Players running for election
• List of CCTV cameras
• Number of players who have swapped masks
• Town Rich List (via PM)
• Town:Mafia:Neutral count
• Night kills
• Break ins
• Spray painted messages
• Players running for election
• List of CCTV cameras
• Number of players who have swapped masks
• Town Rich List (via PM)
• Town:Mafia:Neutral count
Positions: (click to show)
The final element to this game is Positions. These are not Roles – any Role can hold either Position and they will move from player to player as the game progresses. Positions allow a player to earn big money, plus couple of added benefits. Someone will start the game as Store Owner, and the Mayor is elected every morning.
Store Owner: (click to show)
• Gains all money spent by players in the store.
• Records what every masked player buys.
• Buyers see his mask.
• Still pays full price for store items.
• If killed, the position of Store Owner goes to the killer.
• If lynched, the mayor gains the position of Store Owner.
• Records what every masked player buys.
• Buyers see his mask.
• Still pays full price for store items.
• If killed, the position of Store Owner goes to the killer.
• If lynched, the mayor gains the position of Store Owner.
Mayor: (click to show)
• Earns 3 extra coins at the end of every day phase for every election vote won (max 10 coins).
• His lynch vote is worth two votes.
• His lynch vote is worth two votes.
Elections: (click to show)
Oh, and I should probably explain elections. Each morning, players who chose to #RUN FOR ELECTION the previous night may be voted to be the Mayor. Each election candidate will have chosen an economic regime (Socialist, Centrist, Capitalist) that would be adopted should they be elected. These regimes will have big consequences on the distribution of money, so vote wisely!
• Socialist - all money is redistributed evenly, then players pay 1 coin for every 2 items they own
• Centrist - no redistribution of money
• Capitalist - players receive 1 coin for every 2 items they own
• Socialist - all money is redistributed evenly, then players pay 1 coin for every 2 items they own
• Centrist - no redistribution of money
• Capitalist - players receive 1 coin for every 2 items they own
