[font=trebuchet ms]Alright, this seemed like a good number of people- at the very least, it was enough to play a game with without rendering any of the roles useless. Looking at the 9 cards he had taken out, Paper removed two red cards and two black cards and placed them back in the larger deck, then shuffled the remaining five cards. "I don't really know how to define it, but it's not really a card game per se, the cards are just used to determine what team everyone is on," he answered, glancing at Ash. With a nod, he dealt one card to each of the gathered players.
Once he was done, he stepped back. ”This game is played in day and night phases. We will start in the night phase, then will alternate between day and night,” he explained, flicking his good ear. ”Each of you, look at your card, but don’t let anyone else see it, or tell anyone what card you have. Whoever has the 6 of diamonds, you are the mafia. You get to choose one person to kill during each night.” Clearing his throat, he continued, ”Everyone else is town. If you have the jack of clubs, you are the doctor, and can pick one person to heal each night- if you pick the person that the mafia has chosen to kill, they will survive. However, you cannot heal yourself, so be wary of claiming to be the doctor, lest the mafia go after you. If you have the ace of spades, you are the detective, and can investigate one person each night to find out whether or not they are the mafia.”
After waiting a moment to let that sink in, he nodded. ”Once the night ends, I will announce who was attacked by the mafia. If you were attacked and were not saved, you are dead and cannot say anything to the living- dead men tell no tales.” He followed the statement up with an appropriately grave look. ”During the day, the living will vote on who they think is the mafia. For someone to be executed, a majority of the living must vote against them- if only four of you remain after the first night, three of you must vote to execute someone for the motion to go through. If the town does not wish to execute anyone, they may progress to the night phase, but I would not recommend that course of action in most cases- town only has to successfully execute once to win.”
Glancing at a nearby NPC, Paper ordered, "Dim the lights." To the rest of the players, he said, "It is now nighttime, and the Town is going to sleep. All of you, close your eyes- I will provide specific instructions for each of you in a moment."
/I've PMed each of you with your roles, abilities, and goal, as well as an OOC explanation of the rules
/for those of you who have special abilities at night, PM me with who you want to use your abilities on- the day phase will begin as soon as I have received all three PMs
/I'm going to post again on this thread to start the day phase once we're ready- if players or spectators want to post (to react to whatever happened before nighttime) they may, but if you're playing try not to reveal your role, to maintain the mystery
/and most of all, have fun! serious, intense games are great and all, but the bizarre and silly ones are just as memorable ^^
