Town of Salem Game Forums

Phases
This game has five phases:
- Daily life, where you some information is revealed and you get to talk to the NPCs. Players are also able to talk to each other, and are able to send a request to become the blackened (the killer) to the host.
- Night Life, where the blackened is picked and players walk around the building while the blackened does their deed.
- Deadly Life (aka investigation), where players investigate the rooms and the body.
- Trial, where players, based on alibis and everything they found, will try to vote off the blackened.
- Results, where the host reveals if the blackened was successfully voted off and prepares for the following night. You can talk/RP here like in Daily Life.
- Intermission, where people who are not playing can post for as long as it lasts.

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

1. The players have the opportunity to roleplay as their characters.

2. Players can also send me, the host, a PM requesting to be the blackened (the one who will kill). If multiple people send a blackened request, I will RNG between them. If no one sends a blackened request, I will RNG the blackened, and you will sadly have to accept the role even if you did not want to kill.

Night Life (and night actions)
Spoiler: Nightly comes after Daily Life, and happens before the Trial.
Several things happen here, as it is possibly the most important part of the game:

1. The blackened is chosen and notified of their role right when the phase starts.

2. Players start off in their designed bedrooms, and send the host private messages stating their actions during nighttime. You have 6 night actions, with the culprit having two extra actions to clean up (unless they refuse to not use them).

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

Letitia wrote:For action 1, I will go to the Training Area to get a bat.

Gasocea(host) wrote:Action 1 results: You leave your dormroom and head to the Training Area. On your way, you see Hawking sleeping in the middle of the hallway. As you and Alice enter the Training Area, you notice Jordarrian is already there, hiding a dumbbell in his bag. You ignore him, walk towards the sport equipement area and grab a bat, swinging it around to test it. Alice, meanwhile, grabs a tennis raquet and plays with it.

As you can see, the other players (Hawking, Jordarrian, Alice) are also walking around the building, just like our exampleplayer Letitia. This way, alibis can be presented during the trialphase. Letitia could tell the other players that she saw Jordarrian taking a dumbbell if it would be relevant to the case.

You have 24 hours to send in an action. So if we're in action 1, you'll have to send me your first action. 24 hours later, action 2 will start and you have to send an action again, and so on.

And just to be clear, in a single action you can't do much other than moving to a single place and/or doing things. I.e: if your action is to go to the Kitchen, get a knife, kill someone there, and then go to another room, I will ask you to remake it as you've done too many things in a single action. Basically, just limit your action to doing things in the room you are in and moving to a place, just doing some things/just going to a place, or moving to a place and doing things. But do know that if you decide to stay in a room to do things you'll be allowed to do more than if you want to do things but are also moving to another room.

4. The Blackened is treated just like any other player during Nighttime, with one exception: The host (me) will try to keep the Blackened from getting caught. It's 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.

5. After the last action, everyone will automatically go to their own dormroom, 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 dormroom after the last action. The Blackened won't automatically go to their dormroom after the last action, as they have two more actions to do things.

(*) This of course always goes in favor of the blackened. If he is 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. Blackened can only kill two people. Yes, suicide counts as killing a people, but it is not allowed.. Suicide wouldn't make for a good mystery now, would it?

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 a location/locations in the bulding 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, though know that if everyone scanned you would never solve a trial. The victim's body counts as a seperate room. Every player's own room also counts as a separate room, of course.

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 investigationresults (only if you investigated in-depth). Like, if there's a bloody bush in the crime scene, you PM me 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 occur.

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.

2. At the start of the trial, a list containing all of the names of the players from the Sign-Ups will be shown in a spoiler. Dead students will not appear. You PM me which person you want to vote any time during the trial, and I will post a list stating how many people are voting a certain person, but now who. You can also 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 killed, this fact will be revealed and two other innocent players will be randomly chosen to be killed along with the executed one. So four (five if two kills during night) deaths occur if you fail to find the culprit.
The blackened will be then given two choices: To stay in the game (though I won't grant immortality and such) or to leave. Either counts as a win, and if they decide to stay, they can apply to be the blackened again.

3. If the Blackened was killed, then another daily life will be posted when I can. This is again when people will be able to sign up as blackened.

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 Nighttime, 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. A game will not end until after the plot trial, which will be the last.

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 whitened (innocent) actionlimit. By then, every other player should have returned to their dormroom, which are impossible to break into because of host powers. Cases would be unsolvable if the entire murder happened after the last action.

Floor 1:
Spoiler:
1. Entrance: This place is devoid of any content except for a few flower pots and the doors leading outside and into the cafeteria.
2. Cafeteria: A large place that holds several tables and chairs. Some of the tables are big enough to hold twenty people. Plastic plates and spoons have been laid on each of the tables.
3. Kitchen: The kitchen has an oven, a microwave, a cooking table, a fridge, metal forks, spoons, ceramic plates... the basic necessities of a kitchen. It is worth mentioning there is a knife holder with three knives on it.
4. Gym: A place to work out. The gym is filled with dumbells, weights, machines to work out... there's even a small section at the far wall where you can play tennis.
5. Game Room: Basically a casino, though you have no money. There are several slot machines and game tables. You can play blackjack, poker, high or low... A pool table exists at the center of the room.
6. Girl/Male Bath: Self explanatory. You cannot enter the opposite's gender bathroom.
7. Pool: There's a gigantic swimming pool that covers most of the room. The ceiling is a dome of glass, though most of the time snow gets on the way of the sun.
8. Working Area: There exist countless machines to make toys in this spacious room. What calls your attention are the boxes at the corner, which have all sorts of items in them (this is like a storage).
9. Santa's office: Santa's office. He always locks it up, so you can't enter.
Floor 2:
Spoiler:
1. Male/Female dormitories: There is a hallway with many doors that connect to each individual dorm room. You have the key to your own. The door can be locked from the inside without the need of a key, and a chain lock exists. Other than that, your room contains a bed, a closet and an empty bedside table. Not much, but it is enough to sleep.
2. Infirmary: In this rather small room there are some beds with iv drip stands to the side along with a few cabinets which contain drugs, needles, bandages and several other medical supplies.
