This is BYOR 12 (Bring Your Own Role). You can choose any role, picture, short story, Wikipedia page, molecule, idea, etc. As long as it has a short description, Wikipedia link, or video, I don't mind. If it doesn't, and I'm oblivious to the knowledge, you're in a bit of trouble, as I casually make things up out of a hat. I'm also less than knowledgeable on several aspects of pop culture. I'll make up the action(s) to your role. No matter what your role, no action or alignment will ever be guaranteed.
Please maintain a chill atmosphere.
Basic rules:
- No PMing to anyone but me, the mod. I won't make this an action either because PMing is stupid.
- No Quoting of the Mod in relation to PMs. You are free to quote anything in the thread. You may also paraphrase.
- Semi-hammers in effect. Days last on a soft 72 hours, unless majority is voting for any player or No Lynch. If a player is hammered, there is to be no more talking. If you accidentally post something after the hammer, you can and should edit out the post.
- Nights last 24 hours or whenever all the actions are sent in. If you do not wish to action, please send a PM stating so.
- Weekends count for 0 hours, as I enjoy my free time on them.
- Extensions require a majority vote. This will be limited to 2 extensions per Day, because, seriously, make up your minds already. Extensions are an additional 48 hours.
- There may be Post Restrictions. These should not interfere with gameplay.
- I cannot answer questions about player's roles unless that player's role is available to be seen. I cannot answer questions about your role in thread. I can, however, answer generic questions. I will simply ask you to rephrase the question, if I deem the question is bad.
- Please vote in a manner that is viewable with my poor eyesight. If I can't see your vote, I might skip it. I can't trust LurkerTracker to do my vote counts for me, but I'll at least check it for semi-accuracy.
Bold and Red makes it really easy to see.
- If I leave the thread open at Night, do not post unless you have an ability allowing you to.
You are not in the game until I receive a role. Also, don't under- or overestimate your abilities. And have fun! Because, honestly, that's the whole point.
Also, for those without knowledge of how I style roles, here's a little cheat sheet! If you ask me one of these questions, I will not answer it.
Common questions:
Q. What is a Cycle/Phase?
A. A Cycle is a Day and Night Phase. There are two Phases in a Cycle.
Q. Can I use more than one ability during a Phase?
A. Not unless your role specifically states as such.
Q. Can I self-target?
A. Not unless the action specifically states that you can. It is now labelled [target/self] or [self] for easy viewing!
Q. Can I target 2 or more people?
A. Only if stated in the action with [target x(some number)].
Q. If my action doesn't have a Phase to be used in, can I use it any time?
A. Yes!
Q. Can I mafiakill and use an ability on the same Night?
A. This counts as using two abilities, so not unless you are allowed to use two abilities.
Here's a fine example of how actions and roles will look:
Role Name
Alignment: Alignment_Type
Wincon: You win when you have properly managed to be an example.
(Auto) Auto Ability: This ability is automatically used when possible.
(Day) Day Ability [target]: This ability is used during the Day on the target you specify.
(Mafiakill) Mafiakill Ability [target]: This ability replaces the Mafiakill ability. You may not use more than one mafiakill ability per Cycle.
(1-Shot, Night) 1-Shot Night Ability [targets x(1-5)]: This ability is used during the Night and can only be used once per game. This may target up to 5 people.
(2-Shot) 2-Shot Ability [target/self]: This ability may be used at any time but only twice per game. This ability may self-target.

Quick Q & A for alignments:
Q. Does the Mafia have a kill they can use at Night?
A. Yes. It is called the Mafiakill. It is available to all members of the Mafia.
Q. Does the SK/Cult have a built-in kill/convert?
A. No. No other alignment besides Mafia has any group ability available to them.
