The roles

*****************************************************************************************************

Townie

You are a townie. Back in Ireland things had been getting dangerous. You decided to start a new life in the United States of America.

You moved to Chicago, but then you realised there was prohibition! It's more than an irishman could stand! Where's the grog?!?!?! You found the speak eazy's, a place where an irishman could get a proper drink. You knew that there were some run by the Chicago Outfit and some run by others, but you didn't care so long as you got your drinks. You booze hound!

Then last night Flint was killed by the Chicago Outfit for drinking at someone else's establishment. This scared you, but you would not be stopped drinking. You decided it was time to start lynching the members of the Chicago Outfit.

Each day phase you will choose someone to lynch. Each night phase you will spend curled up in the feotal position hoping that you would not die for your alcoholic ways.

*****************************************************************************************************

Special Role

You are the special role. Back in Ireland you were renowned for your ability to survive tricky situations. You would scrape through even the worst injuries. Each time you felt a little part of yourself die, but that didn't matter to anyone else, so long as you survived.

You came across to the United States, to Chicago, to start again. You remembered reading about a serial killer back in Ireland, the stories had made you feel a little better about the missing parts of yourself. You thought you might try it, if you lost any more of your soul.

If you are targetted for night kill you will survive, but lose the last part of your soul. You will become a serial killer. If the serial killer is still alive, you will work with the serial killer and only have 1 kill per night between you. If the serial killer has been healed or killed then you will be the sole serial killer.

If the doctor heals you then you will become a town member, albeit slightly more robust still heaing from any night kill. If the doctor's heal happens before any attempts to night kill you then you will not gain the serial killer abilities, but will retain your night immunity as a townie.

*****************************************************************************************************

Doctor

You are the doctor. You were a surgeon back in New York, but you decided it was time to retire. You had done your bit for society, but the blood was getting too much for you. You decided on a change of scenery to Chicago where no one would expect anything out of you. There you could just be anyone.

Following the death Flint and the attitude of the town you started to worry that there would be more killings. You made a decision, one of the toughest of your life. You decided to pick up the scalpel again and start saving lives. But you didn't want the town to know it was you, they would expect more of you, so you decided you would sneak out at nights and try to heal people.

You are the doctor. Each night phase you will get to heal someone, each day phase you will vote along with the town to lynch one of the Chicago Outfit. You cannot heal the same person twice in a row. If you heal the serial killer or special role they will become a town member. Play safe.

*****************************************************************************************************

Serial Killer

You are the serial killer, known as the irishman. Back in Ireland you had been enthralled by the sight of blood. You had started off murdering your neighbours dogs, you didn't understand why this gave you pleasure, but it did. You then moved onto people, your weapon of choice: garotte wire. You would watch the life slowly drain out of your victims. It was a pleasure you held above all else.

And then your family decided it was time for a change. You emigrated to the United States of America. Maybe you could be free of your dysfunction, maybe you could live an ordinary life?

Everything was going well up until you found Flint's dead body. The site of the blood, the metallic smell, the damage to the throat. It brought back the hunger, the yearning for human lives. It was time to start killing again.

Be aware that there is a special role this game. If this special role is targetted then you will have a protege, someone to teach your psychosis to. If the doctor attempts to heal you the you will be given antipsychotics that will make you a normal, albeit robust, townie.

*****************************************************************************************************

Eliot Ness and Frank J. Wilson

You are [insert name]. You have been brought into town to attempt to stop Al Capone. You are aware that he has bought several high ranking officers within the Police and the Mayor's Office, and as such you trust no one.

You are a cop. Each night phase you and your fellow cop will decide on who you investigate. During the day phases you will attempt to lynch the members of the Chicago Outfit and attempt to form bonds of trust within the town. Be wary, there may be serial killers about in Chicago, and they could look just like anyone else!

Bob Calandra/Vince DeLuca/Frankie La Porte/Ross Prio

You are [insert name]. You work closely with Al Capone, he is like a father to you. You would do anything for Capone, and you show him the proper respect. You are aware of his relationship with Frank Nitti, and you show Nitti the same respect you show Capone.

You were called to a meeting of the Chicago Outfit by Capone where it was decided that it was time to show the Irish why the Chicago Outfit was to be feared and respected.

You are a mafia member. Each night phase you will assist Capone to select who will perform the mafia kill and who will be killed.

In the event of Capone's untimely passing you will vote with your fellow mafia members on who is to assume his role as the Boss of the Chicago Outfit.

Frank Nitti

You are Frank Nitti. You work closely with Al Capone, he is like a father to you. You would do anything for Capone, you emulate him in every action and you idolise him in every way.

You were called to a meeting of the Chicago Outfit by Capone where it was decided that it was time to show the Irish why the Chicago Outfit was to be feared and respected.

You are the mafia hitman. Each night phase you will assist Capone to select who will perform the mafia kill and who will be killed. You also possess a ONE TIME USE power.

You have always been fairly good with a gun, able to hit an apple at 50 metres with a handgun. You trusted your guns, you would always keep them on you. Your one time kill ability is a special hit. It cannot be stopped and cannot be healed. Be aware, you can only use this power once. If this power is used to kill the serial killer or the special role they will die despite their night immunity.

**Failure by the godfather to nominate who is going to perform a night kill will result in there being no night kill.**

*****************************************************************************************************

Al Capone

You are Al Capone. You came to Chicago to run the Chicago Outfit, your main source of income being grog running. Business has been booming, you have been making an estimated 100 million dollars per year! But too much is never enough, and those damned Irish have been cutting in on your business. It will not be tolerated!

You called a meeting of the Chicago Outfit and with your closest friend Frank Nitti decided it was time to strike back at these Irish. They would learn to fear the Chicago Outfit, to show you the proper respect.

You are the godfather. Each night phase YOU will decide on who your mafia lynches, and whether or not Frank Nitti utilises his special power. Each day phase you will lynch a townie. Be wary though, these Irish are crafty buggers, and one of them is a bit loopy.

MESSAGES TO THE GAME MODERATORS FOR NIGHT KILL MUST COME FROM YOU, INGAME, IN THE FORM OF 'Blah is going to be killed by mafia member.' If you use the special kill it must be in the form of (or similar to) 'We are also going to use the Nitti special kill on blah'.

**Failure to nominate who is going to perform a night kill will result in there being no night kill.**

The irishman knew the town was out to get him, but he wouldn't have any of it. The town were starting to come out into the open again, feeling safe now that the scourge of the Chicago Outfit were gone. The town knew the irishman was still out there, but they would do anything to save themselves and thought that it would be worth saving him, and thereby save themselves.

The doctor was sitting at home, cleaning his scalpel, hoping that he wouldn't have to use it again. The irishman came into the house of the doctor, this one was always home and very trusting. When the irishman walked into the loungeroom and saw the doctor cleaning his scalepls he pretended that there was nothing wrong. The doctor turned to the irishman,"What are you doing here?"

The irishman stared straight into the eyes of the doctor, "You know why I am here Remo, I need some help." The doctor looked over the irishman, understanding just what the issue was. The doctor looked into his bag, sitting next to him filled with medications. Unfortunately for him he had used the last of his antipsychotics the night before to help out the confused townie. The irishman smiled, he knew that the doctor had no solution for his problem. The doctor pulled a scalpel from his bag. "Leave me, get the hell out of my house, you are not welcome here," the doctor screamed at the irishman. The irishman just smiled.

Suddenly the doctor felt the skin of his chest parting as a scalpel embedded itself into his chest. The doctor looked down, seeing several more scalpels landing into his chest as he fell to the ground. The irishman slowly walked in. He had a nail gun with him, and was smiling like a cheshire cat. The irishman grabbed the doctors hands, nailing them to the ground. The doctor started to scream but the irishman grabbed his lips, firing several nails into them to keep them closed. The irishman then nailed the doctor's feet to the ground, the doctor was going nowhere.

The doctor tried to scream but couldn't make any noise. The irishman smiled, slowly moving the nail gun up the inside of the doctor's thigh. "I know what you did to my confused friend," the irishman said as he fired a nail into the doctors testicles. The doctor grunted, his eyes rolling back in his head. As the doctor seemed to regain his equilibrium the irishman fired another nail into his other testicle. The doctor passed out.

When the doctor came to the irishman has discarded his nail gun, there was no fun in watching the doctor pass out. The irishman showed the doctor a stick of dynamite. "Do you know what this is?" the irishman asked the doctor. The doctor stared but couldn't say a word. The irishman placed the stick of dynamite underneath the head of the doctor, running a long fuse to a second stick of dynamite. The doctor stared at what the irishman was doing, terrified. The irishman placed a second stick of dynamite under the backside of the doctor. The doctor knew what was coming and started to prey to his maker. The irishman looked at the doctor in disdain. "Time to die, Remo," the irishman said to the doctor. The irishman lit the fuse and walked out the door, not looking back (because cool guys don't look at explosions). Remo, the town doctor, had met his maker at the hands of the irishman.

With the death of Capone and the last of his men the town thought they were free; no longer would they have to fear the dark places, no longer would they have to worry where they drank! The irishman didn't like it, with the Chicago Outfit gone the town would have more time to focus on his defects. He wondered if they knew who he was, who he really was deep at heart. He so wished that he could be like everyone else, but his soul was afire with the lust for blood.

Torqez was standing at the bar of a speak eazy chatting up one of the local girls. For once he seemed to have some game, and this lovely lass Primo was going to come home with him. Torqez realised that Primo was most likely a man, but hey, with his batting average it didn't matter; at least it was a score. As Torqez walked along hand in hand with Primo he didn't notice the shadow walking up behind him. The irishman pulled a stiletto blade from inside his shirt sleeve. He stabbed Torqez once through the chest, then ducked off into the shadows. Torqez grabbed at his back where he thought he had been struck, but couldn't find anything. He collapsed to the ground, asking Primo to go back into the speak eazy and find someone to help.

As Primo left the irishman came out and looked Torqez in the eyes. Torqez stared up at the irishman, terrified. Suddenly the irishman struck, skewering both of Torqez eyes with the stiletto. Torqez screamed in agony, and while he was distracted the irishman stabbed him through the jugular, enjoying the spray of blood through the air. The irishman left Torqez, the loyal townie, to bleed to death slowly in the gutter, rueing the fact that he would never make hairy man love to Primo.

Meanwhile, the doctor was feeling fairly good about themselves, having sucesfully saved Torqez the night before. He was sitting at the bar of a speak eazy drinking when he saw a confused looking irishman out of the corner of his eye. He invited the confused townie over to him. Over a few drinks the doctor discovered that this confused townie had a few issues. It reminded him of a case of a serial killer he had read about in a psych journal whilst studying at university. He knew just what to do. He took the confused townie home, where he established that while the confused townie had some homicidal thoughts he had yet to act on them, he was truly an innocent. He gave the confused townie some pills that would help him. No longer would this confused townie (special role) face any uncertainty, he would forever be a townie.

Bob Calandra went into Al Capone's house. No one had heard from his for a while, what if he had been caught by the cops? Calandra couldn't bear the thought of it. Stumped, Calandra started going from speak eazy to speak eazy looking for Capone. Little did Calandra realise that he was being followed.

The irishman darted around in the shadows, watching Calandra closely. How strange that Calandra should walk around town so openly, without fear. Calandra turned and started walking towards the irishman. He couldn't be seen, it wouldn't do. The irishman slipped into an alleyway. As Calandra passed the alley the irishman groaned, the thought of taking his blood was overwhelming. Calandra heard the moan and worried, maybe Capone was down the alley injured. Calandra walked cautiously into the alleyway, drawing his pistol. "Il mio padrino, is that you?" Calandra asked cautiously as he approached a dumpster.

Calandra saw a flash of metal and suddenly his hand was flying from his wrist. The irishman stood in front of Calandra, a maniacal grin on his face. In his left hand was a machete, in his right was Calandra's bloody hand. Calandra didn't know what to do, he tried to back out of the alleyway. The irishman ran at Calandra, swinging the machete. Calandra put his left hand up, trying to protect his face, but this time the swing was higher and took his arm off at the elbow. Calandra stared in disbelief at his stump, pumping blood. He was starting to feel woozy. Calandra fell to his knee's and started praying. "God won't save you now Alundra," The irishman said as he approached Calandra. The irishman slowly cut off Calandra's ears, then his nose. "How vain are you now Alundra," the irishman said to Calandra.

"I'm begging you, leave me be, let me live," Calandra said to the irishman. However the plea availed him not, the irishman stepped in, sweeping the machete accross Calandra's throat and seperating his head from his shoulders. Alundra aka Bob Calandra was not a pretty corpse to be found the next day by some unsuspecting citizen.

Al Capone was at Frank Nitti's house. Capone looked directly into Nitti's eyes. "You know what needs to be done." Nothing more was said between them, Capone was going to stay at Nitti's house lest someone come looking for him. Things were getting hot in Chicago. Nitti left immediately, he knew where UD would be located.

On his way to UD's favourite speak eazy Nitti located him lying in the gutter. Nitti looked at this disgusting excuse for a human being. UD looked up, "Happy Saint Patricks Day, now where's Flint so I can give him a big smooch." Nitti cringed, clearly UD had been drunk since Sunday.

"I have some news for you," Nitti said to UD. He leant right in to UD's ear, "I killed Flint." UD turned to look at Nitti, but found himself face to face with Nitti's handgun. He was so close he could see the rifling in the barrel. UD soiled himself in terror. He had always been good to people, yes he may have drank to excess on ocasion, but who didn't? UD closed his eyes as Nitti pulled the trigger, blowing UD's brains all over the gutter. UD the loyal townie was dead.

The irishman enjoyed his taste of Poley's blood last night. It made him feel alive, full of vim and vigour. He had been on cloud 9 all day. As night fell the irishman found himself roaming the streets, looking to continue his fun. That's when he noticed someone standing in a nearby alley. The irishman saw him pissing against the wall, this was going to be too easy.

The irishman walked up behind EvilRunt, looping his garotte wire around EvilRunt's throat. EvilRunt tried to struggle, but the irishman was too strong, dragging EvilRunt further into the dark. As the life started to fade from EvilRunt's eyes the irishman pulled out his knife. The irishman stabbed EvilRunt in the left eye. EvilRunt tried to blink, shredding his eyeball. EvilRunt started to cough up blood, so the irishman decided to let up on the wire.

EvilRunt lay there, panting, trying to get his breath back to scream. The irishman forced open EvilRunt's jaw, cutting out his tongue. The irishman then cut off EvilRunt's manhood, forcing it into his own mouth. EvilRunt started gagging. The irishman had enjoyed this particularly, drawing his knife and slitting EvilRunt's throat. EvilRunt the townie was dead, he would never piss in an alleyway again.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Al Capone had called a meeting. He looked towards Vince DeLuca. "I have a job for you my son, a job I would entrust to no other. I have a problem with the law that needs solving." DeLuca understood what he had to do straight away. He stood up and walked up to Capone, kissing his ring before leaving on his mission.

Frank J Wilson was sneaking about looking through windows. He was startled at the state of some of the houses he was looking into, but he was struggling to find what he wanted. He came accross a house that looked promising, sneaking into the back yard of the house. As he approached the back door he noticed someone standing there smoking. He froze in place, trying to hide. The next thing Wilson knew DeLuca was standing behind him with a knife to his throat. "Don't make a sound or you are dead," DeLuca said to Wilson.

DeLuca slowly drew Wilson back towards the fence. As they reached the shadows at the edge of the yard Wilson decided to make his move. He grabbed for DeLuca's knife, disarming him in the ensuing struggle. DeLuca and Wilson stood facing each other, Wilson now in possession of the knife. Wilson looked at DeLuca, not understanding why he was smiling. Wilson heard a door slam, then he noticed a refection from DeLuca's waist. He had a gun trained on Wilson, pointing directly at his heart. "Goodbye Nolio, you will trouble us no more," DeLuca stated as he shot Wilson straight through the heart. Nolio collapsed onto the ground, bleeding from the hole shot into his chest. A few pumps later and Nolio was dead. Frank J Wilson (aka Nolio) wouldn't bother Capone ever again.

The irishman walked up and down inside his house, his brain wheeling. All he could see was blood, all he could imagine was taking lives. He made a decision, he was going to kill again. He had taken many lives before, this time he was doing it to enjoy it. He went to the house of his prey. When he arrived, all the lights were out. It seemed Poley wasn't home yet.

The serial killer pulled a set of picks out of his pocket, easily opening Poley's front door. He made sure to lock it again behind himself. He looked around Poley's living room, there were potatoes in the kitchen but not much more in the house. The irishman saw a picture of Poley with his wife, her firey red hair was waving in the picture. It had been taken back in ireland. The irishman moved behind the door, he had heard Poley approaching and whistling a jig. The irishman pulled taut the wire he had brought with him. As Poley fumbled with the lock the irishman slowed his breathing. He had done this plenty of times, no need to get excited. Poley stepped through the door, before he could even react the Irishman had the wire around Poley's throat. The irishman was disgusted as Poley defecated in his pants, he decided to end it quickly, drawing his knife and stabbing Poley in the throat. Poley the townie was no more.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town Al Capone was sitting in his study with his family. He looked to each of them, asking the same question, "Which of these irish shows the least respect, who shall we make a lesson of tonight." Each of his family members answered the same way. There was one amongst the town that showed no respect, drinking to excess at any speak eazy he could find. He did not care whether it was an establishment run by the Chicago Outfit or others, so long as he could drink.

Al Capone decided he would kill this one himself. He went to a speak eazy run by the Chicago Outfit, trying to find out if anynoe had seen Oxygen that night. It was Capone's lucky night; Oxygen was sitting at the bar, well into his cups already. Capone clapped and everyone in the room stood up and walked out. Oxygen looked around to see what was going on. Capone turned to Oxygen, "Why you show no respect?" Capone demanded an explanation of Oxygen, who appeared unsteady on his stool. Capone lost his patience, spitting in Oxygen's beer. Oxygen stood up, thinking of fighting Capone for wasting a perfectly good beer. As Oxygen staggered towards Capone, he didn't see the haymaker coming. Capone knocked out Oxygen with one punch.

Capone dragged Oxygen into the street, where the Chicago Outfit had created a pyre. Capone tied down Oxygen, breaking his arms and legs so he couldn't move. Capone poured fuel on the bottom of the pyre. The residents of the town came outside to the eerie glow. Oxygen's screams could be heard echoing from the pyre, but it was far too late. Oxygen the townie was dead.

Pickle Army, some of these words have several different spellings depending on how weird the person spelling them are. For example the F bomb can be ended with uk or uck. Now it can be done with a wildcard, but then if you typed Firetruck it would be edited out. One can put in place a filter for each individual word, but then there would be hundred of filters. And it doesn't cover the issue of masking.

Welcome to Mafia 41. See if you can survive the Chicago Outfit during prohibition, you booze hounds!

*****************************************************************************************************

The story

Prohibition had been good for Al Capone and his family. Thanks to grog running Capone was making $100 million per year, a princely sum. His family were there to support him; Bob Calandra, Vince DeLuca, Frankie La Porte, Ross Prio and Frank Nitti.

Capone called a meeting of the Chicago Outfit. It was time to press these irishmen for all they were worth. Capone looked to his second, Frank Nitti. 'One day, you will inherit all of this from me. One day you will lead mi familia. You are a brother to me.'

Capone looked around the table, making eye contact with each member of his famiy. The time was come. 'Mi familia, I have a problem. These irish, they do not show the proper respect. They buy their alcohol from others. They do not understand, we run this town. What should we do about this.'

Nitti stood up. 'I would kill for you in an instant, any time. We should destroy these irishmen, make them fear us. They will pay proper respect or they will pay with their lives!' The rest of the family started clapping at this speech.

Capone lifted his hand up and everyone went silent. Capone looked at Nitti, 'Your plan intrigues me. Perhaps if we did kill a few they would learn. We start now.' Capone turned to Bob Calandra. 'Bob, your time has come to show your love for the family. You need to show these irish that we will not accept this. We run this town, not them.'

Calandra nodded. He knew what was to be done. Following the meeting Calandra drove down the street when he located a bum sitting on the corner. This homeless fool would do. Flint looked up into the eyes of Calandra. Calandra drew his pistol, shooting Flint square between the eyes. Calandra pulled out his knife and cut off Flint's head. Calandra proceeded to use Flint's blood to write on the wall a message to the town. 'The Chicago Outfit run this town, respect us or die'.

The next morning a young irishman was walking along the street when he saw Flint slumped in the gutter. He didn't think much of this, it was fairly normal for Flint to be sleeping in the gutter. As he approached, the irishman noted that Flint seemed smaller somehow. He looked up and saw Flint's head piked on a nearby fence. He read the message written above the head. The town had something to fear.

A meeting was called, but the mayor was out of town, he would not be returning until the following day. Today was a day to mourn, tomorrow would be the day to come together as a town and decide what to do.

Meanwhile, the irishman was enraged by the blood he had seen. It reminded him of another time, another place. He remembered the metallic smell, the taste of his own sweat and his victim's despair. It was time to start killing again, but this time he would just be killing for killing's sake.

WHAT THE ROLES DO

Godfather
Al Capone chooses who to kill each night phase, and which member of the Chicago Outfit will complete the kill. If investigated Al Capone will be shown to be a member of the Chicago Outfit. If targetted to be killed at night Al Capone will survive the hit.

Mafia hitman
Frank Nitti has a one time use power. Being the good mobster he is, he can choose to head out on his own and kill one person during a night phase. If Frank Nitti targets someone to be killed with this special one time hit they will die, irrelevant of whether they were being healed or immune to other night kills. THIS POWER CAN ONLY BE USED ONCE DURING THE GAME

Mafia members
The Mafia members will work with Al Capone to attempt to teach these damned townies some respect.

Cops
Eliot Ness and Frank J. Wilson have been brought to Chicago to end the power of the Chicago Outfit and specifically Al Capone. Each night Eliot Ness and Frank J. Wilson will conduct a raid on someone, finding out everything about them. Each day phase they will attempt to assist the town to lynch the members of the Chicago Outfit.

Doctor
The doctor believes that all life is sacred. Each night the doctor will head out and attempt to save someone's life. If the doctor attempts to heal the Serial Killer then the Serial Killer will become a townie. In this event the Serial Killer loses their night kill ability however retains their night immunity. The doctor will also be able to heal the special role.

Serial Killer
The Serial Killer is an irishman with an insatiable blood lust. Each night the SK will target one person in an attempt to kill them. If the SK targets Al Capone then Al Capone will survive this attack. If the doctor heals the Serial Killer they will become a town member, retaining their night immunity. If investigated the SK will appear to be a town member, and if the target of a mafia hit the SK will survive. The SK can be killed by Frank Nitti's special ability. During the day the SK will attempt to sew mayhem and lynch mafia members and town members alike!

Special Role
All of their life the special role has been a fast healer. Abused from birth, the wounds inflicted by the special roles father had to heal quick. If targetted for a night kill by either the Serial Killer or the mafia the Special Role will survive it, becoming a second Serial Killer. The special role will obtain the same powers as the Serial Killer, being night immune. If the SK has not been healed then the Special Role and the SK will work as a two man killing team, having only 1 kill between them. If the SK has been healed then the Special Role will be working by themself as a new SK. If the Special Role is healed by the doctor before the special role's murderous streak is activated then they will be a regular townie that is immune to night kill (except by the mafia special role). If the Special Role has been activated and they are healed by the doctor they will become a regular townie that is immune to night kill.

Town Members
Each night the town members will be shaking in their boots, hoping that the Chicago Outfit doesn't decide to target them. During each day phase the town members will attempt to root out the members of the Chicago Outfit.

The Rules

- Your objective is to rule Chicago; to do this, you must eliminate your opposing faction.

- Mafia is allowed 1 kill each night; they will win if they kill all townies and the serial killer(s)

- Town will win if they kill all Mafia members and kill or heal the serial killer(s)

- The serial killer is allowed 1 kill each night; they win if they kill everyone else and are the survivor (with special role or without), or if they are healed and win with the town.

- The special role is activated if someone attempts to kill them during night phase. They will work with the serial killer, and with the serial killer will be allowed 1 kill per night (i.e 1 between the two serial killers); they win if they kill everyone else and are the survivor (with serial killer or without), or if they are healed and win with the town.

- Each day phase, every town member must vote for whoever they think should be lynched; this person will die and no longer be a part of the game

- In the event of a tie in the number of votes at the end of dayphase, there will be an extended period of 1 hour for players to change their votes, should they wish to do so; if at the end of the extended period the tie still persists, BOTH players will be lynched; if a player missed the original voting deadline he will NOT be able to cast his vote during the extended period

- You cannot miss two votings in a row; should this happen, you will be immediately removed from the game, and lynch will still commence based on voting.

- The voting deadline is just that, a deadline. Day phase will finish at 0200 GMT, this means that if you vote at 02:00:01 GMT your vote will be excluded. This is irrelevant of whether the game moderators have posted that voting is closed.

- You are NOT allowed to make public the message sent you by the game moderators to tell you your role, either entirely or in part; should this happen you will be removed from the present game and possibly future editions as well. You can share what your information means, but you cannot share exact text.

- Once you're dead, you're dead. Do no talk about the game to still active players, or post in the forum thread. This will be considered an act of influence upon the remaining players, and will get you banned from future games. We all like to have fun, and play by the rules, so please keep that in mind.
