Updated rolecards inside:
Spoiler: Lawyer

(This role is still in the experimental stages ~ It will not yet appear in Episodes for the time being.)

You are a Lawyer

Your alignment is Town Power

Celebrated around the county as a true defender of justice, you were widely known for your ability to see fair verdicts to the end.
It is now time you realize that your power is exactly what the town needs to see the right people punished.

During the day you may select a player, that night the player then can optionally write a 1000 character affidavit which will be sent to you. You may hold on to the affidavit yourself or submit it to the town and it will be posted completely anonymously.
You may also pm your moderator during the day to start a trial, when a majority is reached on a player it will be announced that you have entered the gallows and a trial has begun.
During a trial you can communicate with the town anonymously via two 1000 character limit messages for your opening/closing arguments.
Within 24 hours, the players must send a vote of /Guilty or /Not Guilty to the Game Moderator.
Your vote counts as three in trials.
At the end of the Trial, regardless of the verdict, the Day Phase will end.
During your trials, you may also swap defendants, or force a verdict. You may only do each of these once and they can be used together.
You may do this only three times. You can also perform this power on yourself.
The only exception is the lynch of a Jester, this will cause your trial to fail, swapping defendants to a Jester will force them to haunt the Lawyer the next night.
Players may not whisper during trials.

You win with the Town
You win with Survivors
You must kill the Mafia
You must kill Arsonists
You must kill Witches
You must kill Serial Killers
You must kill Stalkers
You must kill Bombers
You may spare anyone else.


Marshal

(This role is still in the experimental stages ~ It will not yet appear in Episodes for the time being.)

You are a Marshal.

Your alignment is Town Protective.

Once a figurehead of the law, you experienced a horrific accident and have vowed not to kill anymore. Instead you decide to use your presence as a deterrent to these thugs that have rooted themselves in your hometown.

Each night you may choose to follow a player. Your presence scares one malicious person from targeting them.
You will only be informed if you scare away a role who had killing intentions.
Should your target be visited by multiple people with malicious intent, only one will flee. (Mafia Deception > Witch/Escort/Consort > Killing Roles)
Roles that use charges will still consume them upon being frightened off.

You win with the Town
You win with Survivors
You must kill the Mafia
You must kill Arsonists
You must kill Witches
You must kill Serial Killers
You must kill Stalkers
You must kill Bombers
You may spare anyone else


Framer

You are a Framer.

Your alignment is Mafia Deception.

You are a framer, skilled at forging documents.
With your skill, the Mafia was glad to hire you in exchange for your services.

Each night you have the ability to frame one player of your choice. If they're inspected by the Sheriff that night, it'll say they're a Mafia member. You may also choose which role they appear as should they be inspected by the Investigator.
If there are no other kill capable Mafia players left, your role will become that of a Mafioso.
You can communicate with your allies each night, for as long as they are alive.

Your allies are [x] the [role], [x] the [role], and [x] the [role].

You win with the Mafia
You win with Survivors
You win with Witches
You must kill the Town
You must kill Arsonists
You must kill Serial Killers
You must kill Stalkers
You must kill Bombers
You may spare anyone else


Disguiser

(This role is still in the experimental stages ~ It will not yet appear in Episodes for the time being.)

You are a Disguiser.

Your alignment is Mafia Deception.

You were a once great actor lured into the Mafia with the promise of fortune and a chance for a final performance. You can fool the most observant people with your costumes and antics.

Every night you may visit two players swapping all of their investigative results. The only investigative role who will not be fooled is the Sheriff, so watch out!
If there are no other kill capable Mafia players left, your role will become that of a Mafioso.
You can communicate with your allies each night, for as long as they are alive.

Mafioso

You are a Mafioso

Your alignment is Mafia Tactical

You're a goon, following your Godfather's every command.
It's not all bad though, because when a higher placement opens up in the Mafia you'll be the first to take it.

Each night you may choose 1 member of the Mafia to shadow. You will carry out their job that night on any target you wish.
You may only do this once per player in the Mafia.
Shadowing a Mafia Head role only grants you their specific passive(s). Night immunity is not applicable.
If a member of the Mafia dies you may permanently assume that role if you wish at any time.
You can communicate with your allies each night, for as long as they are alive.

Your allies are [x] the [role], and [x] the [role]

You win with the Mafia

You win with Witches
You must kill the Town
You must kill Arsonists
You must kill Serial Killers
You must kill Stalkers
You must kill Bombers
You may spare anyone else


Blackmailer

You are a Blackmailer

Your alignment is Mafia Support

Everyone who knows you doesn't want anything to do with you, but typically it's too late by then. Heck, even among the Mafia you are given the cold shoulder. With a smile almost creepily plastered on your face all the time, you have an unhealthy obsession with your job more so than any other member, and that's just what the Godfather wanted. You are the Blackmailer.

Each night you may visit a single player's house, you are informed of what roles also visit them.
Each day you can send three anonymous messages to any player. The player may send a message back if they wish.
Anonymous messages are limited to 200 characters.
If there are no other kill capable Mafia players left, your role will become that of a Mafioso.
You can communicate with your allies each night, for as long as they are alive.

Your allies are [x] the [role], [x] the [role], and [x] the [role]

You win with the Mafia
You win with Survivors
You must kill Witches
You must kill the Town
You must kill Arsonists
You must kill Serial Killers
You must kill Stalkers
You must kill Bombers

9) Voting etiquette - Please bold your votes as well as avoiding putting them inside paragraphs. Votes are solitary creatures, put them in their own special paragraph by themselves. Also unvotes are not required to change your vote.

10) Perhaps the most important rule - Have fun, it's a game. Don't get all stressed out.

Hello, everyone.

Oi. *tips hat* Looking to play some mafia here.

Can someone recommend Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies? I got bored with the Edgeworth series and stopped playing, but if it's a good game I will look into it.

Okay so a few Questions for Met on the Code rule:

Can mafia use daytime posts for janitors/consigs/etc
Can we use whisper codes?
Can Town Leaders collect codes to give instructions for night actions?

This should make for an interesting game if the answer is no.
No mafia codes and Confirmed Townies are gonna have a hard time making night plans.

Oh my god Gobble I feel like I haven't played with you in a century.

Heyo-

Lets have a peaceful and non-eventful first day that ultimately not going to talked about at the end of the game.

Hi everyone! Let's have a good game.

I'll be back in a bit xD

I think the last time we played it was CFM6

S'up. Pretty hyped for this game. Good luck and have fun, everyone.

Hi everyone! Let's try not to spew rainbows from our mouths while the ghost of Rick laughs in the background. That would be atmospheric, but somewhat useless.

ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ i hardclaim serial stalkwerebombsonistfather ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

Alright, bois, let's have a good game, shall we?

Anyways, I think some concepts need to be instituted first, not really rules. Just things to take into thought because they're important.

Towns best weapon is time and organization, so we really need to focus on that. Main ways to institute that is this:

1. Do not consistently post useless shit. This includes fluffs, role fishing, and being a general nuisance. If your very first post is "good job jailor" without any other content, you are (maybe only by me) going to become that much more suspicious.

2. Do not have useless arguments or arguments that could hurt town. Arguments about scumminess, possible players who would have done something a scum did, death note discussion, etc, are all fine.

Arguments like whether or not transporter will use survivor as a shield, whether player 1 could be a jailor from a soft claim, or if a proven town role could lead us to our doom is all useless or hurtful arguments. If I see this, you will become one of my top scum. I've been in enough games to know that it's actually scum who most of the time have constructed such arguments. Whether it's mafia v neutral, neutral v town, or mafia v town, it's usually someone who turns scum in such arguments.

3. Do not vote or hammer prematurely. Time is power, and the more time we have, the more powerful we are. If we have two days left, we use that for discussion on another possible scum, how scum reacted towards another person, whether or not they actually are a good lynch target, etc. If I see someone hammer prematurely, you will literally be my top scum. This is inexcusable.

If you have anything else you want to add, feel free to.

Hey everyone. Lets have a good game here. =)

iesdeathedit: 99% sure he was joking. it's a Rick game. it's probably joking.

Look at the role list and then check back with me

FUCKING NINJAS OMG WHY

iEsdeath, please look at the rolelist. Then look back to Gobble.

Is that the face of a serious, hardworking man with a day job?

It was a mistake. >.><.< Please. Can we move on to something else pls? >.>

I'm curious to see what everyone thinks the random mafias will roll.

Just for future reference.

Personally, I think there's going to be at least one deception role (framer, disguiser, etc) and one mafia support (janitor, consig, consort)

Spoiler:

Basically all I could see reading that look at the role list thing.
