Mafia's back, and this time in a space age setting! There's a change to some roles, so make sure you read this whole post!

As usual, the following are the list of characters. These will be allocated to players who sign up randomly using the Excel rand() function!

1 Mother Superior
6 Infected crew members (includes 1 evil secret role)
1 Spaceship Captain
2 Biologists
1 Panic room supervisor
1 Bodysnatcher veteran
1 Insane crew member
9 Crew members

Only the Mother Superior and infected humans will know who the other infected are. Everyone else will be in the dark.

NIGHT PHASE - WHO DOES WHAT?
Each phase of the game begins with the night. The following can happen during this time:
- Mother Superior, together with her infected humans, will decide one crew member to kill. She will also choose which one of them will conduct the kill.
- Mother Superior is the leader of the infected. She therefore has final say in any mafia night kill decision. She will also appear to be innocent to the biologists' investigations and is immune to being killed at night.
- The evil secret role has a special power hidden to everyone!
- Biologists can choose one person to investigate between them. They will then be told of this person's role. They can do what they like with this information but revealing it may make it obvious that they are Biologists and make them a target for the bodysnatchers.
- The panic room supervisor holds the code to the panic room. The panic room is a specially created room on the spaceship which is locked down every night. The person within the panic room is safe from harm until they are released. As long as the supervisor lives, all crew members are able to vote to put a person in the panic room. This vote takes place during the day phase together with the lynch vote. This person is locked in, which makes him/her protected during the nightphase, but it also disables his nightly activities. When the supervisor dies, the panic room becomes unavailable. Since it's his responsability, he holds 2 votes in the vote on who to put in the panic room. His second vote will be made in secret and posted on his behalf by the game mods. It is impossible to put the same person in the panic room two nights in a row.
- The insane crew member is a serial killer who chooses one person to kill per night. If placed in the panic room, he will commit suicide.
- The Spaceship Captain is a pro-town role who has 2 votes during the lynching process. He makes his second vote in secret and will be posted on his behalf by the game mods.
- The bodysnatcher veteran is a pro-town player who has the ability to kill one person at any time during the game. He can only do this once. After killing that person, he will be a regular crew member.

DAY PHASE - LYNCHING
During the day phase, everyone in the ship will find out who has been murdered. All crew members (including the bodysnatched ones, the insane crew member, mother superior, panic room supervisor and biologists) can then vote who they think are infected. This is the lynching process. There will be a deadline to which the people must vote by. If there is a draw, the deadline will be extended and only those drawing will be voted on. If there is still a draw by the new deadline, there will be no lynching. Once the result is in, the person will then be dead and their role will be revealed. Then that round is over and night begins again when the night roles make their next choices.

In addition to the lynch vote, all crewmembers must also vote on who to put in the panic room during the coming night phase. More details are above.
This means that crew members should cast 2 votes during each day phase - one for lynch and one for the panic room.

WHO WINS?
"Mother Superior" and her bodysnatched crew members will win if they manage to kill everyone else off. The insane crew member wins if he is the last person alive and the rest win if they manage to kill off all the bodysnatched crewmembers and kill/neutralise the insane crewmember.

Everyone is allowed to post in the thread to discuss who they think is infected or try to make themselves less suspicious (if they are infected!). You may NOT quote any part of messages sent by the game moderators. Doing so will result in your sudden death. Also, when you die you are dead and are no longer part of the game, you are not allowed to discuss the game with anyone.

Helping with the game moderation this round will be Arnor and Eltara!! Hurrah!
