 MAFIA: DCI SPACE KOREAN EDITION

9 unlucky warriors from across the cosmos have been summoned to a particular plane of hell within Amaterasu's dreams. The derelict spaceship Serenahd drifts abandoned in the void, locked in a loveless orbit above a cold blue planet. As they learn of their predicament and the identity of their host, a fraction of the warriors decide to take matters into their own hands...

Hub for DCI Mafia game. 8bit as Moderator will post plot flavor/summaries of Day/Night results here for easy access, participant conversation will take place on Discord. We will be basing our first game on a variant of Mafia called "Werewolf", as there are several special roles that can be added to spice things up a bit. For the purpose of this game, consider "Werewolf" the equivalent of "Mafia". The general flow of gameplay is the same.

Rules

 * Please consult this page for a general idea of how to play Mafia, or feel free to PM 8bit with questions.
 * The game is to be played in the RP subchannel of the DCI Discord. The idea is to replicate a Day Phase is realistically as possible, where everyone's comments must be public. No PMing to discuss the game in a back channel is allowed, with the exception of:
 * 1) Conversation with 8bit about rules, roles and decisions associated with those roles
 * 2) The Werewolves and the Traitor are allowed to PM each other outside of Day phase only (eg before the game starts and during Night phase)
 * 3) PMs concern out-of-"gameplay" conversation such as scheduling questions.
 * The game will tentatively operate on a weekly cycle, with Day and Night phases taking place as follows. Depending on how the RPing goes and as more players are culled, I may speed up the pace.
 * 1) Friday evening - Monday evening: Day phase. Players must reach a majority vote on who to kill. If there is no majority vote, I am currently weighing between either no one dying or 8bit picking a player at random to kill.
 * 2) Monday evening - Wednesday evening: Pause as 8bit writes storyline result of Day phase. Werewolves + Traitor may begin PMing each other. Those with special roles may begin to PM 8bit about their decisions.
 * 3) Wednesday evening - Thursday evening: Result of Day phase. Officially entering Night phase; ; and special role decisions must be PMed to 8bit by the end of Thursday night.
 * 4) Thursday evening - Friday evening: Pause as 8bit writes storyline result of Night phase. Once this result is posted, Mafia may no longer PM each other. Return to Day phase.
 * Don't take what occurs in the game personally or "meta" it. Everyone's going to be lying and plotting others' doom ~ Also, roles are assigned at random; the "kind" of character that a player is RPing does not predispose them to a certain role. You are, however, allowed to RP your prejudices and suspicions in-game.
 * The game ends in the Werewolves' favor when the number of Villagers is equal to or less than the number of Werewolves. Villagers win upon killing all the Werewolves (excluding the Lycan).
 * Please RP your heart out when talking in-character in Day Phase or when describing to 8bit flavor for your Night Phase decisions :D

Roles
I should just call this "Werewolf" already kek. Consult this page for an idea of all the possible roles available and their purpose (the logistics will work differently than described as we are doing this online). All Night role actions are discussed with 8bit in PM. You are free to guess at/accuse others' roles, as well as hint at or outright state your role (or lie about it) during Day phase.

The general storyline explanation of roles is that the "Villagers" are those willing to tolerate their existence aboard the Serenahd, and are against the forced removal of Sabik from its place as an overseer. The "Werewolves" are those who seek to escape the Serenahd by any means necessary, even if this involves killing their fellow warriors. I ask that you try not to refer to these roles' official names when RPing (use phrases like "innocent" or "traitor", or make up some stuff about how Sabik has granted you surveillance capabilities as Seer, or how you hold a mean grudge as the Vengeful Spirit. You are, of course, welcome to be as honest, vague, or flat out dishonest when speaking in this way).


 * Werewolf (1) - The Mafia equivalent. Votes with the Werewolf Seer and Traitor each night to kill a Villager (vote must be unanimous), the result of which will be revealed at the beginning of next Day phase. The general goal of a Werewolf is to avoid being killed during the Day phase.
 * Werewolf Seer (1) - As above, but with the added bonus of being able to PM the Moderator to reveal to them the role of a single selected player per Night Phase. May share this information with the Werewolf and Lycan.
 * Lycan (1) - As Werewolf, but appears as a Villager to the Seer and does not count as a "Werewolf" in terms of determining the end of the game, (eg if there are 3 Villagers alive and everyone on the Werewolf side is still alive, the game does not end, as technically there are only 2 Werewolves.)
 * Villager (3) - Bread and butter "innocent". Tries to determine during Day phase who the Werewolves are and vote to kill one at the end of Day.
 * Vengeful Spirit (1) - Villager that descends into indistinct, hateful screaming upon death, swearing revenge upon the side that killed them. If the Vengeful Spirit is killed during a Day Phase vote, 8bit will reveal to that player all Villagers (without revealing specific roles), one of which is selected to be killed by the Vengeful Spirit that Night. If the Vengeful Spirit is killed by the Werewolf side during Night, 8bit will reveal to that player all Werewolves (without revealing specific roles), one of which is selected to be killed by the Vengeful Spirit that Night.
 * Seer (1) - Villager equivalent of Werewolf Seer that may PM Moderator to reveal to them the role of a selected player once per Night. Can decide to share this information during Day phase, but caution is advised, as this may make you the Werewolves' next target.
 * Hoodlum (1) - Villager with a special win condition. At the beginning of the game, choose three other players and PM to Moderator. If all of them are dead and the Hoodlum is still alive at the end of the game, 8bit writes a special ending for you~
