(same with odd). if, however, he is wrong and picks incorrectly = he is killed. BONUS = if he picks the same number = he gets to shoot somebody by picking a target and posting their name in the forum and picking a number 1 to 6 and sending it to me by private message. the target then has a 1 in 6 chance of surviving the shot by picking the exact same number and posting it in the forum. - each player has 1 extra day vote to use anytime during the game by sending it to me by PM before the day phase ends. your use of your extra vote will be made public in the forum as vote results are posted. - in the event of a tie vote = i will roll the die. both players (or all 3) will give me a number by PM. if a player picks the correct number = his "opponent" will be the target. if he picks the correct even/odd and the other player does not = same result. if neither picks the right number and both correctly picks even/odd = both are saved but if both incorrectly picks even/odd = both are targets the following night. - if a player does not vote = it will automatically cast 2 votes for himself. - during the night there will be no forum chat except as mentioned above. there will be [b]no[/b] PM allowed among players except for those created by me. i will randomly create a PM chat of 2-3 players for each player to be in. you will be in 1 and only 1 PM each night. random except that i will make it a point to put you in [b]with[/b] a different player each night if possible. therefore you might be in a chat with the mafia target. - as players are eliminated - the phase lengths may shorten by mutual agreement - [b]i will be sending out role assignment PMs. in addition to the 1 extra vote, everybody will have a unique ability that could help or hurt you or someone else. most abilities are one time use abilities and will be revealed in the forum when used[/b] - that is all for now. i plan on not changing the rules but i may add clarifications of my intent later if needed. [b]- phases will begin and end at 00:200 D12 clock time - which is currently 8pm central time usa[/b] [b]- dead players may post in the forum but will not be included in night chats w live players[/b]

Boo!

Confused: there will be PM allowed among players except for those created by me. there will be [quote]**NO** [/quote] PM allowed among players except for those created by me. i will randomly create a PM chat of 2-3 players for each player to be in. you will be in 1 and only 1 PM each night. random except that i will make it a point to put you in a different player each night if possible. therefore you might be in a chat with mafia target.

ready

:)

we should have at least 7 players. i tried to make up a game that would work for a smaller group - bear w me if this does not work. i have not seen anything like this before. should let the game go on for a couple of weeks

ready

I’m good but not back home until tomorrow

I’m good, but also will be more available tomorrow

Reading this format again, it does seem like an interesting game you've concocted Tenn! One thing I didn't understand is if we are playing against you as Moderator/Host, is there a way you can win?

the game will start this sunday march, 8th mid-day or afternoon. 1st phase will be longer than 24 hrs. still time to recruit others

Great! Looking forward to it

I'm here
