Starting and joining games
- See Starting a game
The joining round last 2 minutes and anyone who wants to play in that game must join during that time.
Speed Introduction
A short guide will all help you need and tips on how to play your role.
Factions
- Mafia.
The Mafia faction is a gang of ruthless killers that bring death and destruction to the town. Their only goal is to kill as many Innocents as possible. The Mafia are able to communicate with each other in a special channel that no one else is able to see. Use m TEXT to speak in the Mafia channel. Each Mafioso has 1 vote for murder and whichever target receives the most votes will be killed.
- Monsters.
The Monster faction are a supernatural blight on the land consisting of Werewolves and Vampires. Yearning for the sweet taste of flesh and/or blood, they prowl the night, searching for prey. Occasionally, their victim escapes their clutches, but by then, it is often too late; their unholy curse is passed on and a new Monster is born. This faction is unable to communicate with each other in a special channel.
- Camorra.
The Camorra faction is almost identical to that of the Mafia. They are able to communicate with each other via a special channel which no one else is able to see. Use r TEXT to speak in this channel if you are a camorra. Each Camorrista has 1 vote for murder and whichever target receives the most votes will be killed.
- Innocents.
The Innocents of the town just want to live peacefully. However, since the ruthless Mafia have decided to start murdering people, the Citizens have taken it upon themselves to rid the town of the evil Mafia. Every afternoon, they will confer among themselves in an attempt to identify a mafia and will hang that Player, hoping against hope they did not lynch an Innocent by mistake.
Night Round
The game is a succession of alternated Night and Day rounds. After everyone has joined the game the bot will randomly decide who is innocent or evil as well as give any secondary roles. Most players with special abilities will be able to use them during the night. Regardless of what role you have you can use !help at any time of the day or night to see a list of commands available to you at that moment, as abilities can vary based on morning/afternoon/night/dawn. There are two other very important commands. First is !status this will tell you the current amount of players remaining in each faction. This command should be used regularly. Second is !players this command will give you the names of all players alive in the game. Very useful if you need the name of a player you want to kill. Please remember that every round in the game has a time limit to it determined by the amount of players in that game.
- Night
During the Night period the innocent citizens are all asleep. The mafia and camorra are able to communicate with their mafia and camorra teammates respectively. The werewolf bites and certain secondary innocent roles may have abilities that can be used in the night period
- Dawn.
During the dawn period, which is the short period before the day round starts, the mafia will see whether their murder was successful or not. The werewolf will know if his bite was successful and the detectives will get their investigation results if they choose to investigate. This is also the time for the oracle to use his ability.
Day Round
After the night has ended the day round begins.
- Morning.
Now is the time that bodies may be discovered if there were any murders in the night. There also may be announcements of other activity from players secondary roles. This is the time that concerned citizens gather together and discuss whom they believe is the mafia. If there is a detective in the game he may reveal his results to the public about what he found. Remember that the mafia and werewolves may pretend to be innocent. Mafia is a game of deception and trying to figure out who is deceiving you.
- Afternoon.
In the second half of the day round all the players left alive will vote to execute (hang) someone. This is accomplished by using the command !execute PLAYERNAME. The innocents will want to kill a mafia, werewolf, or camorra. The evil factions will of course want an innocent dead. After everyone has voted we will see the person with the most votes hanged and die, thus removing them from the game. We will also see what faction he belonged to and also how everyone voted.
Victory
The game can only end once someone has died. Innocents will win when every mafia, werewolf, and camorra is dead. If the number of camorra or mafia is equal or greater than all players of other alignments, then they win. In the case of a tie between camorra and mafia, the mafia wins. Werewolves win when there are nothing but werewolves left alive.
- Nuclear Holocaust.
Games now have a maximum time limit (0.35 * players + modifier). This is to prevent games from taking to long. In the day before the end, players will be warned that the government has decided to wipe out the crime in the city by destroying it. One day later, the city is blown to smithereens by large amounts of nuclear missiles. All the remaining players die at the same time, and the game ends in a draw.
