[OT] Jack In The Village

[Iron Aquilifer]

Callan is an isolated village deep in the heartlands of East Anglia, full of conservative, godfearing men and women. That the death of Pastor Daniel came as a shock is an understatement, doubly true when it came to light that the wounds he suffered in the church hall were not at the hands of a fallen chandelier as initially suspected, but indeed through the nefarious act of repeated stabbings to the heart.

While the villagers were quite ready to cast this crime aside as a one-off, the sudden demise of farmer Rogers, his head removed from his body and not by the constant whining of his wife this time, has put the people on edge. There were murderers in their midst, and it was up to them to see that they were brought to justice.

Roles

Primary Roles

For want of a better term, these are the two factions in the game.

Murderer - During the day, functions just the same as a villager. Each night, selects a player to kill.
Villager - Each day votes on which player to lynch. The player with the most votes is lynched.

Secondary Roles

These are special attributes attached at random to players. The number of each trait granted is dependent on the number of players.

Alderman - Functions as a villager until they reveal themselves. Every day after that, their vote is counted as two.
Leader - After a lynch victim is chosen, the leader can decide to change the target. The new target must have at least have as many votes as the old one. If the new target is innocent, then a new leader is selected. If the new target is a murderer, then they remain leader.
Witness - Has a chance of revealing the identity of one murderer. Chance begins at 10% and increases with every night. This is a passive trait.
Doctor - Each night, can select one other player to look after, however the same player cannot be protected twice in a row. The doctor has a 50/50 chance of saving the victim from the murderer. If the victim survives, they cannot take any actions for one day. When they wake, they have a 50/50 chance of revealing the attacker. If the doctor is attacked, the patient is attacked as well.

Rules

1. The order in which events are carried out is as follows:
- Vote
- Alderman
- Leader
- Doctor
- Murder

2. Each turn ends at 22:00 GMT. That is all votes and nightly actions must be posted. 21:59 is accepted but 22:00 and beyond is not.
3. The results are posted at the beginning of the next day. The roles of the victims of both the lynching and murder are revealed, and the vote can then begin again.
4. To vote for a lynch victim you must use one of these setups, with 1 representing turn number and x representing a target player:
- 1#VOTE X
- 1#VOTE X
- 1#vote X
4.b. Event if there is accompanying RP with the vote, keep the above format at the bottom of the post to make it easier for numbers to be cataloged.
4.c To abstain, instead of placing a player's name write "Abstain" instead (but include the appropriate prefix - 1#VOTE)
5. In the event of changing a vote, do not edit the initial post. Post again in one of these formats, with 1 representing turn number, x the former target and y the new lynch victim:
- 1#UNVOTE X, VOTE Y
- 1#UNVOTE X, VOTE Y
- 1#unvote x, vote Y
5.b. Vote changing can take place up to 21:59 GMT, and can be changed as many times as necessary (however please be sensible about it)
6. The nightly activities of the MURDERER and DOCTOR are to be PMed to the GM by the end of the turn (22:00 GMT). If they abstain from either picking a victim or selecting a patient then that must also be PMed.
7. If a player does not vote on the lynch without posting to abstain they receive a 50/50 chance of death, outwith the murderer's victim.
7.b. Likewise, if the murderer does not select a victim or abstain (both by PM) then they too suffer a 50/50 chance of death.
8. In the result of a tie for first place in the lynch vote, the leader can set the target to be either one of the tied victims or one with less votes. If they do not, then both tied players are lynched
9. The forging of player's PMs to be posted in the thread is acceptable (as long as it pertains to the game) however posting Pms (real or fake) of player's roles including your own is grounds for disqualification and immediate kicking from the game.
10. If anything is confusing or requires extra definition do not hesitate to ask.
11. The murderers win once they are at a 1:1 ratio with the villagers. The villagers win once they have lynched and/or revealed all the murderers.
