Rules
General rules

General Definitions
Spoiler:
Order of Actions
- You can always send in a new action, which will replace the old one.
- If multiple incompatible actions are submitted by a player, the last valid one(s) before time is up is the one that will go through.
- The BO and the DBs have a rank system for giving orders.
NIGHT PHASE
DAY PHASE
Example 1a (NIGHT):
Akonyl=Nakamori) Pinch Abs.' face. Investigate if pofa slandered Conia.
Abs.=Vermouth/Shinichi) Kill Akonyl.
Result: Akonyl arrests Abs. Abs. does not get to kill Akonyl. Akonyl investigates if pofa slandered Conia.
Example 1b (NIGHT):
Akonyl) Investigate if pofa slandered conia.
Abs.) Kill Akonyl.
Result: Abs. kills Akonyl. Akonyl does not get investigation results.
Example 1crazy (NIGHT):
Akonyl=Nakamori) Pinch Abs.' face. Investigate if pofa slandered Conia. Investigate if Mystery_angel neutralized PT.
Abs.=Vermouth/Shinichi) Kill pofa. Investigate if PT arrested Tanner.
pofa=Eisuke) Neutralize Mystery_angel801.
PT=Takagi) Arrest Tanner. Stake-out Abs.
Mystery_angel801=Vodka) Neutralize PT.
Tanner=Korn) APTX Akonyl=Nakamori.
Conia=Megure) House search Akonyl.
PT arrests Tanner. pofa neutralizes Mystery_angel801. Mystery_angel's Neutralize FAILS. Tanner's APTX FAILS due to arrest (APTX is lost). Akonyl pinches Abs.' face, arrests Abs. Abs.' kill FAILS. Conia conducts House search, is suspended.
Akonyl's investigation: pofa slandered Conia = False, Mystery_angel neutralized PT = False.
Abs.' investigation: NULLIFIED
PT's stake-out: Abs. was face-pinched.
Example 2: (DAY)
Town) Lynch pofa! Otherwise, lynch Conia (2 votes behind).
Cheesus) APTX Conia = Kazuha. Lynch pofa.
pofa) Arrest Cheesus for killing Prof on Night 2. Lynch Kleene.
Conia=Kazuha)Give Anti-APTX charm to pofa. Accompany pofa. Lynch Abs.
Schillok=Tequila) Frighten shihokudo.
shihokudo) Lynch pofa.
Result: pofa arrests Cheesus. Conia gives Anti-APTX charm to pofa. Schillok frightens shihokudo. Cheesus' APTX FAILS (APTX is lost). Conia accompanies pofa.
LYNCH: pofa loses 3 lynch votes (Cheesus, shihokudo, accompany). CONIA IS LYNCHED.
In case there is a Neutralization loop, all neutralizations will be treated as SUCCESS.
Voice of Reason > Big Brother > Watch protection > Protect > Heal > First Aid
- Sniping: Sniping bypasses all protections, including the Watch. Watch is destroyed if wearer is sniped.
- Healed sniping targets: Alive.
- Headshot: Headshots bypass all healing, including First Aid.
- Protection against headshots: Watch: Effective only for headshot target. Protector: Dies instead, unless Akai. Any healing of protectors is ineffective.
- Any action below "Killing" in the Order of Actions that was done by someone who was successfully First Aided will fail, because that player became injured.
Voting
- Everyone can vote during the Day Phase, whether you're Townsfolk or a BO member.
- Exceptions:
a) You're dead
b) You're not in Japan
c) You're arrested
d) You were hindered by an ability (e.g. Tequila).
- Each player’s vote is made public at the end of the Day phase, unless Voice of Reason or Protect is applicable.
- If the player was APTXed or arrested, then his/her vote won't count
Killing/Arrest/Lynched
- After a player has been killed, lynched, or arrested, their action will be nullified unless it holds a higher position in the Order of Actions. Only exception is Akai's Vengeance.
- In case Kazuha was succesfully APTXed and accompanied someone that was about to be lynched because of 1 vote difference, the reduction of that 1 vote fails and he/she will be lynched.
Wills
- Every player can PM a "Will" to the GM. It can be a letter, a tape or just an item that you'll drop. This Will will be shown in case you're killed.
- The GM has the last decision. In case a will, tape, or method of death is giving out too much info, then it can be changed by the GM accordingly.
- A Will will get lost if the body is removed by Piscos ability. Pisco will receive the Will then.
Crimes
- Killing (normal, sniping or using APTX)
- Framing
- Disguising
- Slandering
- Neutralizing
- Abducting
- Erasing
- Frightening
- Stealing
- Black Suitcase actions are not crimes (even neutralizing etc.).
- Being in the BO is not a crime. So you can't arrest Conia for being Gin.
Condition
All players - except the travelers Hakuba and Maktoto - start the game "alive" (normal). However, their condition might worsen during the course of the game...
Alive: An alive player may use any of his/her abilities according to the rules. They can talk freely and participate in the lynch-voting.
Abroad: This player is out of the country until he/she returns to japan. Any actions used on him will fail. He/she can't be killed. Such players can talk freely, but not participate in lynch-voting or use any ability themselves.
Injured: An injured player can not use any abilities and lose any of their passive abilities like for example a disguise. The only exception is the nightly killing action from BO members (though, they will loose any advantages they normally have like erasing the body or sniping) and Revenge. Injured players can still talk freely and participate in the lynch voting.
Suspended: Police who try to arrest someone for a false charge will get suspended for 2 phases after the arrest attempt. When being a suspended, the police will lose all Ability except for Voting on day lynching.
Arrested: An arrested player can't use any abilities, but at the same time they also can't be killed. Any actions, except for "lawsuit" on them will fail. They can talk freely, but not participate in the lynch voting. Arrested players are considered "out-of-the-game" to determine if a side had won. The arrested players role will (normally) not be revealed upon the arrest.
Dead: That player was killed during the game. They can no longer participate in this round, however they will still win or lose the game together with their side. Dead players may not give any information concerning the game to others or influence the game in any other way.
Black Organization
Leadership
The BO has a Leader. It's Anokata. The Leader has the ultimate right to choose a Night kill target and will give the order. No one can overwrite the Leaders order. Other players can also send in the kill order, in case the Leader does not. The priority of the orders will be decided by the BO ranking.
If the Leader orders a Lover to kill the other Lover, it will happen (unless either the Lover was neutralized, or Vodka was the Lover and neutralized the Leader), and the killing Lover will suicide if the kill was successful.
If Anokata is not present in a game (or was killed) the BO will choose a Leader. They can either go for the ranking according to the role list (Anokata, Gin, Vermouth, Bourbon ...) or they vote for their own ranking. So each player PMs the GM with a ranking.
Example:
conia) Akonyl (Vodka), conia (Korn), pofa (Gin)
Akonyl) Conia (Korn), Akonyl (Vodka), pofa (Gin)
pofa) pofa (Gin), conia (Korn), Akonyl (Vodka)
Then the ranking would be: conia(Korn), Akonyl (Vodka), pofa(Gin). So conia would be the new Leader. In case conia dies then Akonyl will become the new leader etc.
If the leader is arrested, the leader may designate the new ranking by PMing the GM during the phase in which the arrest is made known.
Otherwise the GM will randomly choose a ranking.
The leader ranking has nothing to do with the APTX ranking! In case there are not enough APTX, then the ranking of the listed BO roles will be used.
INACTIVE BO MEMBERS: The BO Leader can only submit kill orders for the other BO members. NOTHING ELSE!
Other
Each mafia member must commit a successful murder before any mafia member gets a second turn to kill.
Every member can use the APTX4869 during day phase.
BO can kill BO if they so wish.
The mafia is allowed to and is expected to consult with each other on who to kill during the night and who to lynch during the day. You may all vote to lynch different players if you wish.
- You can always send in a new action, which will replace the old one.
- If multiple incompatible actions are submitted by a player, the last valid one(s) before time is up is the one that will go through.
- The BO and the DBs have a rank system for giving orders.
Please read carefully, as this has been changed/clarified to align with existing rules + current round modifications
