Rules:
Every person playing will be assigned a random role from me,or you can PM me a role request,but I can't guarantee you will be accepted. Noone will know each other's roles,except the mafia,who can communicate with each other each night. The goal of the town roles are to find and vote out the mafia,serial killers,and other evil roles. Even though most town roles cannot kill,they can jail,investigate,and heal each other while finding the bad roles. The goal of the mafia is to secretly kill the town roles at night,while voting out,and killing the other evil roles. Serial killers and other neutral roles have to kill both the mafia and the town at night,while fighting amongst themselves for full control. For example,a serial killer and an arsonist cannot win together.

The game is divided into three main phases:
Day:
Players can chat or discuss any leads they have found. You can say anything you want,state your role,lie about your role,etc. Anything goes. This phase is not too important. However,the jailor must PM me sometime during the day or else their jail will not go through the following night. To whisper,you must PM me the message,then I will PM the message to your target. Why can't you PM them directly? Well you will see soon......
Voting:
Players can vote others up to go to trial. If MORE then 50% of the town votes against the same person,that person will go to trial. The rest of the town can choose to vote either guilty or innocent on that person. (or abstain) If lynched,that person will die and no longer participate in the game.
Night:
At night,the mafia and other evil roles kill people and the town roles investigate or protect people. It depends on what their role is. PM me what you are doing at night. The quicker,the better. This makes the game much smoother.

Once a player dies,their role will be revealed,any death-note left by their killer will be revealed,and that player will NO LONGER BE ABLE TO POST. They will be able to communicate with a medium,if they are still alive.

I'm not adding every role to this list because some are just too confusing. The briber,however is not an official role on the site. I created it. If this game is successful,I may start a second season including new roles and some that weren't used by players yet.

Doctor:(Town Protective) The doctor is trained in healing people. He can choose to heal anyone he wants at night,but he may only heal himself once.

erp

I would sign up if it wasn't time based, sorry. Is there any way to make it so we don't base it off daily hours? (keep in mind timezones also kinda mess this up)
Expect something cool here soon!

to fix time zone errors,just use the clock on the forums. It should say what time it is in EST.

On the other hand,we could make the phases take a few minutes rather then hours,or even a few days. It's up to public opinion.

Of course,the day phase doesn't really matter. It's the voting and night phases that matter.

Edit: On Town of Salem,the night and voting phases are 30 seconds and the day phases are 45 seconds.
Also,it's been decided that the phases will take 1 day each

Ah. However, making it a few minutes means it would be better if we just played this on the discord chat (which would be very fun, but having rounds take a few minutes wouldn't be very practical on the forums). I have played Mafia/The Resistance/Werewolf on forums before and phases generally take days to complete because of discussion and timezones (mostly the timezones though).

I don't want this to be like many other forum games that were abandoned,though,so I'll do whatever I can to make this a great forum game. The real Town of Salem has a minimum of 7 people,so if I can get at least 7,I'll be happy The maximum was 15,and it would be a bit interesting to see what a game with more then 15 people is like.

There are a few problems with hosting it on Discord,so I do think it will be here in the forums. Unless there's major inactivity,in which case it will be on Discord.
