Witches' Coven: Over Hill, Over Dale
"The evils which are perpetrated by modern witches exceed all other sin which God has ever permitted to be done...
For they are called witches (maleficae) on account of the enormity of their crimes..." - Malleus Maleficarum, Part I Question XIV

Welcome to the second Witches' Coven, a novel Mafia gametype just for you!

This, unlike other gametypes, relies on a mostly closed setup. What this means for you is that you will not begin the game with access to information about all the roles - you will either have to deduce that by yourself, read the flavour for detective work or just roll along without it. There may or may not be some hidden mechanics for the game also. That said, I will try to keep this toward the simpler, lower-powered end of the spectrum - just enough to be interesting for both you and me.

Though it has been called a Bastard Mod before, note that I will not intentionally confuse or imbalance the game; everything will be for your own enjoyment, and I will only withhold information to further that goal. Additionally, I will never outright lie, so you can trust that what I say is reliable.


Game Rules:
   1. The Good Faith Rule: It will be trusted, on behalf of both the players and the mod, that you will play according to the restrictions (if any) given and that you will play both respectfully and to fulfill your win condition to the best of your abilities.
   2. All votes must be in red. Unvoting before voting again is not required, but appreciated. You may vote for No Lynch. You cannot conditional vote. In case of a tie, no one will be lynched. The game is hammerless.
   3. Days and Nights both span 48 hours.  Neither time span includes weekends. Nights may end earlier if all actions are in before the deadline. Days and nights end at 9PM GMT unless otherwise specified.
   4. Never edit your posts for any reason, including typos.
   5. Do not PM other players unless explicitly allowed.  Players with private chat access will be given a topic on QuickTopic where they may post freely.
   6. Never quote any PM from the mod or any communication with them unless explicitly allowed.  You may give a general summary (for example, a roleclaim), but do not quote directly. Rulebreakers can and will be modkilled with prejudice.
   7. Any requests to the moderator not in bold will be ignored.
   8. You may ask for an extension or shorten by putting the respective word in bold.  Extensions require 33% of players to agree minus any players opposing, and requires at least three players. Extends are for 24 hours, and there may only be a maximum of three Extends.  Shortens require at least 51% of players to agree, and will end the day as soon as I can process the day end.
   9. Dead players may post one “bah post” to comment on their death, but it may not contain any relevant game information.  After that, please do not post.
  10. Please make an effort to post at least once daily.  If you do not post for 36 hours, you will be prodded.  If I don’t hear from you within 24 more hours, you will be replaced and/or modkilled.
  11. Never underestimate your importance, and always play to win!


Revealed Possible Roles:

Please note that not all roles are guaranteed to appear in the game itself.

Villager: A clueless, bumbling fool.

Witch: A subtle creature of magic and dark craft, these witching women will oft be the cause of mischief and woe.

Lyncher: A person consumed with anger or jealousy at another.

Dammit, I want to join this game but I'm already in four.

Replacement queue for me, I guess.

Are there any significant differences between this round and the last?

Many, though detailing exactly what would be spoiling the surprise. :p

Are you sure you can't join?

I'd normally ask you to do a BM, actually.

But taking into account that one just started, the relative complexity of xkcd games to ours and the fact that you seem pretty sensible, I don't see why not. I'm sure someone can coach you on the way.

[Jim Groovester]

Are you sure you can't join?

Not anytime soon and this game is filling up fast.

Oh, well. Screw it.

In. Not that I expect you to do this, but waiting a few days before the game starts would be pretty awesome.
