Town of Salem Game Forums

There is a change from the previous games in the "Nightly" and "Results" sections. And another few points in the extra info section.




Phases
This game has six phases:
- Daily life -> Players can speak to each other and PM the host (Gasocea) if they want to be killers (the 'blackened').
- Nightly Life -> Everyone gets to roam around heaven while the blackened plans their kill.
- Deadly Life (aka investigation) -> The blackened's dead victim is found. Players look for clues.
- Class Trial -> Everyone is gathered to discuss and vote the culprit.
- Results -> The host reveals if the voting was right or wrong, and the voted person is executed.
- Intermission (Pseudo-phase) -> The game is halted for a few days for discussion and preparation.

Daily Life
Spoiler: Daily Life comes before night, and two things happen here:

1. The players speak to each other (RPing or otherwise).

2. The players can send the host a PM asking to be the killer (known as the 'blackened').
If multiple people send a blackened request, I will randomly pick between them.
If no one applies, a random player will be forced on the role.

Nightly Life (and night actions)
Spoiler: After Daily Life comes Nightly Life, which happens before Deadly Life.
Several things happen here:

1. The blackened is chosen and notified they must kill.

2. Players start off in their rooms, and must send the host a private message stating what they want to do. Players have 6 night actions, with the culprit having two extra ones to clean up.

3. After everyone (besides inactive players) has sent their actions to me, I will piece everything together. For example:

Thomas wrote:For action 1, I will go to the kitchen and get a big slice of cake.

Gasocea(host) wrote:Action 1 results: You leave your room and head to the Kitchen. On your way, you see David running around in his underwear screaming "potatoes". As you and Evelyn enter the Kitchen, you see Alice was already here, sneaking a kitchen knife into her jacket. You ignore her and go to the table where a cake lies. You eat it cheerfully, and notice Evelyn opening the fridge.

- As you can see, the other players (David, Evelyn, Alice) are also doing their own actions, just like our example-player Thomas. This way, alibis can be presented during the Trial. Thomas could tell others he saw Alice taking a knife if it would be relevant to the case.

- Normally you have 24 hours to send your action. If you fail to send by that time, it will be automated.

- What fits in an action is kind of subjective, but please limit them to doing an actual action (movement, talking, killing etc.) and/or moving to a room.

4. The Blackened is treated just like any other player during Night, with one exception: the host will try to keep the Blackened from getting caught. This is very vague but this could be done by, for example, giving the Blackened better reflexes than normal players. So yes, the blackened will always end up killing you if they are set on doing so.

- Another point that must be mentioned: unless you are the blackened, you cannot stay in the same room for more than three actions in a row.

5. After the last action, everyone will automatically go to their own rooms, falling asleep until Deadly Life. If three or more people discover a body before the last action (*) though, a Body Discovery Announcement will happen and Deadly Life will start early. Players cannot be hurt once they've reached their room after the last action. The Blackened won't automatically go to their room then, as they have two more actions to clean up/do stuff if they must.

(*) This of course always goes in favor of the blackened. If they are doing something in a room with the dead victim and two people are about to enter I'll either have him hide or have the body announcement happen when the two innocents walk in. If the blackened does not want any of these choices, I'll ask him what he wants to do about that. Either way, I'll always pick the option that befits the blackened's plan.

6. The blackened can only kill two people. Suicides are not allowed.

Deadly Life (or investigation)
Spoiler: 1. Here, a file will go out revealing the victim, location, and minor details about the body. Additional info can vary depending on the circumstances.

2. Players send the host a PM with the location/locations they wish to investigate. Each player has 2 investigation credits which they can choose to use to either SCAN or INDEPTH rooms. A room can be "scanned" by spending 1 credit, and investigated "in-depth" for 2 credits. In-depth gives more information than scanning; scanning is just a glance around. The victim's body counts as a seperate room. Every player's own room also counts as a separate room.

3. Only things revealed at face value are shown to the player. It's up to them to look for hidden clues or investigate pieces of evidence further. This can be done by asking the host questions about the given investigation results. For example, if there's bloody bush in the crime scene, players can PM the host saying something like "Is there anything in the bush?"/"I investigate the bush". You have unlimited questions, but 24 hours after trial starts question time is over.

4. This period lasts for 24 hours (plus the time it takes for me to write the results), and then the Class Trial will begin.

Class Trial
Spoiler: 1. The remaining Players will discuss for two days about the murder and possible suspects. The host can choose to increase the trial's duration before or even during the trial if asked, has to, or it seems no progress has been made. Max extension is one day.

2. At the start of the trial, a list containing all of the names of the remaining players will be shown in a spoiler. Dead students will not appear. You PM the host which person you want to vote any time during the trial, and he will post a list stating how many people are voting a certain person, but not who. You can change your vote whenever you want, but just two times.

3. After two days (plus the possible extension) pass, no more votes will be accepted, and no more posts will be allowed until the results are posted.

Results
Spoiler: 1. The player with the most votes is killed. If a tie occurs, the kill will be randomized.

2. If the Blackened was not voted off, this fact will be revealed and another innocent player will be randomly chosen to be killed along with the executed one.
The blackened will be then given three choices:

a) Leave the game, as they have won.
b) Stay in the game. It will be revealed they are the blackened, and they can later apply to be the killer again if they want.
c) Stay in the game and have me not reveal their identity. They will be automatically chosen as the blackened again the following night and be given the advantage of knowing the actions of a player of their choosing. If they get away with murder again, the game will end and they will be the only winner.

- If the killer chooses option b, are chosen as killer again and get away with murder again, they will be given these three options again. Unless you choose option c, killing twice won't end you the game.

3. If the Blackened was voted off, no one dies other than them.

4. After this, intermission starts, with daily life beginning some days later.

Extra information
Spoiler: 1. One round of inactivity in a game will result in removal from the game by execution. You are counted active by posting in a Class Trial. If you're inactive during Night time, you will be auto'd, which means I decide where your character goes and what they do during your absence. Your character's safety cannot be guaranteed during these actions.

2. The game will end when 3 players remain or the blackened completes the third option objective.

3. The blackened has two more actions than others during the night, being able to act after everyone has gone to sleep. HOWEVER, a victim cannot be acquired after the innocent action limit (being after Action 6). By then, every other player should have returned to their room, which are impossible to break into because of host powers. Cases would be unsolvable if the entire murder happened after the last action.

- Exceptions are traps: If a killer plans to set a trap in someone's bedroom so they die after A6, I'll allow it.

4. If you have played/read the other games, don't expect much plot this time around.

5. As for why I added the new mechanic, I saw this being done in the forum this is originally played, so I wanted to test it out.

6. As to why I added color to the OP: I tried reading it and it looked like a gigantic wall of text, so I fixed it.

Signups
We need at least 12 players for this to work. If a week passes without those, I'll remove the new mechanic and start with 10 people (if we have by then).

Floor 1:
Spoiler:

Main Room: Looks very elegant. It has a fountain in the center of the room with four huge marble pillars surrounding it. There are 6 doors leading to different places, but one is locked.
Earth Simulator: This place, unlike all of the cloudy heaven, has dirt as floor. There are some trees around a deep pond in the center. There's also a gnome staring at a poorly made hole on the ground.
Dormitories: Self-explanatory. It has a hallway with doors leading to your rooms.
Showers: There seems to be just one shower room for both genders. Not much to say about it.
Game Room: Games everywhere. There are board games, video games and the like. There is also a group of angels playing chess.
Night club: This room is terribly out of place considering where you are. Loud music, partying and many things that would be considered illegal on earth happen here. The bar man happens to be Satan.
Library: For nerds.
Dining Room: An incredibly large table is on the center of the room with a countless amount of chairs surrounding it.
Kitchen: Where cooking magic happens. There is a knife holder with three knives.
Storage: There are an absurdly huge number of boxes in this messy room. Who knows what you could find in here?
Hallway: It's empty. It has two doors connecting the two sides of heaven,

Floor 2:
Spoiler:

Casino: There are games on each corner, with angels mindlessly playing them. You can gamble your coins here. There's also a chance to get human coins.
Jesus' Bar: It's empty, no angels to be seen. Jesus is on the counter, waiting. You feel he needs help about something.
Shooting Range: There are guns here and targets by the back. The only guns there are are revolvers, sadly.
Infirmary: There are two beds here with two IV stands by their side. Also a lot of cabinets filled with medicine, syringes, medkits and others.
