murder basics
This game is loosely based on the Mafia party game, though we will be changing a few things as necessary for this game's particular play style.
Each week, characters will be presented with new tasks and challenges as they try to uncover the truth of why they're here and what resides in Scawwy. In addition, at least one character will be killed by the weekend, and it will be up to the remaining characters to figure out the circumstances of their death.
While the traditional Mafia style has a set group of killers, we will be operating primarily with murder proposals and a rotating mafia system. What this means is that players may submit proposals, but mods will also have a system in-play to RNG different characters per week to be a culprit.
schedule
The schedule for the game is as follows:
MONDAY-THURSDAY: Each Monday will begin with a weekly mingle for characters. Much like games in the past, there will be new things to do each week for characters to interact with the setting. These mingles will go up at 12pm EST. In addition, sometimes during the week mini-events or other adventures will take place based on player action and mod scheduling. We will notify players in advance should this occur.
THURSDAY MORNING: On Thursday morning at 10am EST, we will unscreen the weekly curfew toplevel for players to reply with their curfew status for the week! This is the time to tell your mods where your character will be staying during the hours kills may occur. For the purpose of this game, we do ask that players submit their curfew no later than 8pm EST. If you are not able to submit a comment yourself during those hours due to work, etc, we will also allow players to include other characters in their comment. For example, if player B can’t submit their comment but plans to spend curfew with player A, player A may submit a comment stating: “A&B will be in X!”
We do not accept late curfew posts to be included in the bonus mechanic! More information will be available once the curfew mechanic kicks in.
FRIDAY: Investigation time! Likeredactable and homophonic, we will be having traditional investigations through time blocks. A post will go up at 6pm EST with a set of initial locations to explore, and then another set of locations will be revealed an hour later at 7pm EST. Characters in each time block will be given up to two hours to find all the clues they can in the locations. This will end at 9pm EST (or sooner), at which point the body announcement will go up, confirming the victim(s).
SATURDAY: Yippie trial! All characters will be required to attend ICly and we do ask that players are available for these days. If you need to miss a trial, please let us know as soon as you know/least 48 hours in advance so we may plan accordingly! Trials will begin at 12pm EST and will end at 9pm EST unless stated otherwise. A one hour break will also take place at 4pm EST for players to step away for lunch/dinner, and for mod tags to pause. ICly characters will not be able to leave the trial unless ICly dismissed early.
IC voting will also be live at the start of the trial and close at the end. Once the vote is closed, we will announce the party with the majority of votes.
SUNDAY: Sundays will be execution day! This is the day in which a selected party will come forward to execute whoever is voted for at trial. While executions are not mandatory the way trials are, they are open to the public to witness. Executions will begin at 1pm EST.
THURSDAY MORNING: On Thursday morning at 10am EST, we will unscreen the weekly curfew toplevel for players to reply with their curfew status for the week!

FAQ
✦ What is the pacing of the game?
Our game will be running on a 1:1 schedule and functioning on EST. Please refer to the above timeline for when important posts will go up.
✦ Do I have to be present for every trial?
If something comes up and you are unable to be present for a trial, please let us know in advance! We prefer at least 48 hours in advance (minimum 24 unless it's an emergency), but if you come to us really early before the trial starts or in the first hour of the trial we will be a bit lenient. If you do not let us know in advance, you will be killed off in-game.
✦ How long will the game last?
We're aiming for a minimum of six and a maximum of eight weeks!
Should a player need to leave the game prior to endgame, please speak with the mod team and we will discuss the next steps with you.
✦ If I die early what happens next?
We will have a graveyard for characters to continue playing in and participating in! You can do open threads on the main graveyard post, or you may have private conversations with other dead characters. In addition, characters in the graveyard will be presented with opportunities the living side does not have access to.
✦ Private conversations?
Private conversations! Sometimes your character (or a group of characters) will want to get together with people to spend time together or share information or whatever. This would become a private conversation that isn't shared with the game at large. Please check out the private conversations page for information on how to set up journal filters and more.
✦ How active do I have to be?
We like to see that players are participating either via weekly mingles, private threads, or both in addition to participation in trials! The game functions best when all players are active and engaging, so please keep this in mind when apping in! We ask that your time be managed well. Please remember that trial voting does count as the activity check for the game, but we do need to see that you are participating in trial with more than just evidence checks and the vote.
✦ How do I contact the mod team for any questions/concerns/murder plans?
We will be operating primarily on Discord, so please be sure to create a group chat with Nu, Dana, Francy, and Anna! Discord is the most effective method for all of your mods, and our Discord handles will be available in the group server.
Rules
✦ Be kind
This is a game made by friends and for friends, so we want to try to be as civil and welcoming as possible. Everyone should have a good time here together! Disagreements which happen ICly should not translate OOCly. Please be sure to remember this division while playing together in the game! Remember to keep game spoilers private OOCly (such as murders, evidence, roles, and trial deets)! If you find someone is sharing spoilery details with you, please discourage them from doing so.
✦ Be active
We would like to reiterate this rule with more emphasis going forward. We do not expect you to be glued to your computer, but all players should remember to be somewhat active both throughout the week as well as during trials. Players should also be available to participate in murder as a killer or a victim. In the event you realize you cannot be as active as the game needs, or you will be missing more than one trial (barring emergencies) please reach out to us to discuss dying early! The mods are here to help you. Don't be afraid to move to the graveyard as these places are fleshed out and can be active as well. A game needs a graveyard just as much as a living village most of the time!
In addition, we ask you to let us know in advance if something comes up and you won't be around for trial, or another mandatory, mod-decreed event (including endgame). We have a toplevel here for absences, but you may also reach out to us in a mod DM to let us know.
✦ This is a death heavy game.
Keep in mind your character may die at any time, whether it's week one or week seven. Your character might also die outside of Thursday nights depending on what's happening! If there is an issue, please reach out to the mods, but understand the nature of these games is you can potentially be chosen as either a killer, or a victim (or a catastrophe) at any point in time.
✦ Canon powers/abilities are nerfed.
Outside of mod discussed game instances, all canon powers and abilities will not function at all in the game. It is unlikely they will be reinstated during the course of the game, but in the chance they are, the mods will let everyone know.
✦ Concerns and questions.
If you have concerns or feel uncomfortable about something in-game in any way, please contact the mods ASAP! We don't want anyone to move forward distressed, so don't be afraid to reach out to us about OOC or IC issues we might need to address. In the same vein, if you have any sort of DNI with another player, please let us know ahead of time so we can coordinate rooming, CYOAs, investigations, etc. around these requests.
