Starting and joining games

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 avalible 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 usefull if you need the name of a player you want to kill.

  • Mafia.

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. The Night round is when the mafia decide who they want to kill. Each mafioso has 1 vote for murder and whoever recives the most votes will be killed.

  • Werewolf.

During the night round any werewolves alive will be able to bite a player and try and turn them into another werewolf. Use the !bite PLAYERNAME to attack someone.

  • Camorra.

The camorra faction is almost identical to that of the mafia. They are able to use thier own special channel to communicate that no one else is able to see. Use r TEXT to speak in this channel.

  • Innocents.

During the night all the citizens are asleep. Some innocents may have abilities that can be use in the night such as the detective or the doctor however most will not. The citizens method of communication is to talk in the main channel. Everyone is able to see this. However is you are a detective you can use the police channel to talk only to other detectives. Use p TEXT to talk in the police channel.

  • Dawn.

During the dawn period, which is the short period before the day round starts, the mafia will see whether their murder was sucessfull or not. The werewolf will know if his bite was sucsessfull 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.

Please check out the indepth page on roles.



Day Round

The day round is divided into two parts, morning and afternoon.

  • Morning. In the morning we will see any people who were murdered. Players can now debate who they think the mafia is. The mafia can try and act innocent or just play it cool. After an amount of time (depending on the amount of players) the moring turns into afternoon.
  • Afternoon. The afternoon has arrived. Now it is time for someone to be hanged. Every player has 1 vote for who they want to kill. Innocents want to hang a Mafia but the Mafia wants an Innocent to die just as well. At the end of the afternoon period someone will be executed and thus removing them from the current game.
  • The Innocents win once every Mafia is dead and the Mafia win once they have equal numbers with the Innocents. Werewolves wins when no Mafia or Innocents remain.
  • See The Day Round for an indepth Day Round page.
  • See Victory conditions
