MUFFLE'S PROFILE

Mafia is a forum game of informed minority (the Mafia) vs an uninformed majority (the Town). Each player is secretly assigned a team at the start of the game. Play starts in "day" phase, where town discusses who's likely to be mafia and votes against them, while the mafia tries to direct suspicion elsewhere. Then during "night" phase, the thread is closed and mafia discuss privately who to murder at night. Play alternates between these two phases until either town wins by catching all the mafia, or the mafia wins by outnumbering town.

- Each player gets a single vote to use during the day that they may change as many times as they wish to vote for any player
- Vote with eg #lynch OzzyTheOne, and if you change your mind you can #cancel and vote for someone else later
- When a majority of players are voting for a certain player, that player is "lynched" at the end of the day.
- We'll start with 48 hour days and 24 hour nights and go from there -- I'll provide countdown clocks always
- The final set up will be ten players.

Do not:
- Edit your posts
- Be dishonest in interactions with the moderator
- Contact any player in or outside of the game about the game unless specifically allowed by your role, and when allowed, only do so in the specific manner allowed
- Do anything that would be considered cheating
- Quote PMs for the moderator or take a screen capture of it (paraphrasing is fine)
- Analyze the mechanics of a PMs for the moderator in comparison to other players, eg, "the fourth word of my role PM is 'town,'" or "my PM was sent at 11:23, when was yours?"
- Talk about the game outside of the topic
- Sabotage your own side, even if your teammates are morons
- Use cryptography
- Use steganography (eg small or invisible text to attempt to avoid detection)
- Use confirmed randomness

Do:
- Post actively, there is a five daily post minimum (that's day phase, not actual days).
- Let the moderator know if you won't be around

The only thing you need to know is that it's a killing game where everyone is trapped and the only way out is by murdering and getting away with it. After a murder, a trial will be hosted and everyone has to try and find the culprit while the culprit has to try and get away with it. There's a vote at the end of discussion on who the believed culprit is, the majority vote will be killed off. If it's an innocent everyone but the culprit dies, if it's the culprit everyone lives but them.

Ultimates is what you're best at, basically a profession. They can come in handy a lot of the time in the game if you can figure out a way to find a use for them. Unlike the game/anime, the game will be played until the end. There's no teaming up to defeat despair, the last two will probably just duke it out somehow.

Basically just sign up and pick a number one through eight that isn't taken. When every student is taken all the ultimates will be revealed. You will be PMed your Ultimate and what you can do with it, your advantages and disadvantages and any rules to them. The only thing decided by default is your Ultimate, name (will be using your username) and your profile gender. So feel free to come up with personality and morals and ideals for your characters.

Every time a murder happens after a trial a new area will open up allowed players to find new rooms which can hold new items/ways to kill people. The areas will be based on Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc school area and at the start of every day phase, I will post the current areas/rooms that are available to you. If your character is in a certain area at the beginning of post please say "Currently at area"

By signing up for this game you are aware that your character can die at any given time, as well as the ultimates are decided by random and cannot be changed when they are revealed. If your character dies early on, there should be no problem about it. Since this is a roleplay you will be IC and if you have any OOC thing to say please put it in (parenthesis) under your IC text.

-The day/roleplay phase will go on for at least 24 (might change to 72) hours before any murder is posted. This is where characters are free to interact at will without having to investigate or go through a trial. Feel free to make friends and then watch them die!
-The investigation phase will last at least 72 hours maybe more, depending on how it flows. This phase will be characters trying to investigate and find any clues left by the culprit. A description of the death and time will be given at the post announcing the murder, clues will be posted by me if characters look in a specific place.
Example: Ultimate A looks near the body, I announce that they find a clue about dirt from their shoe indicating the culprit had gone outside beforehand.
-The trial will last at least 72 hours maybe more or less, depending on how it flows. Characters will try and weed the culprit out with facts and guilting. Before the trial starts a list of clues will be shown for remembrance. At the end voting will be announced and when everyone votes said player will be killed and will be announced if they were innocent or not.
-Then the phases repeat.

OOC Rules:
#1: Do not talk to each other about victims or culprits in a personal message, most if not all RMNronpa discussion should be handled in this thread.
#2: If an innocent is killed instead of an instant game over I will probably restart that trial. However, if I feel people are using this as an advantage to just randomly guess and hope to find the culprit I will game over it.
#3: If you want to kill someone message me whom and how you are planning to do it. I will roll a ten-sided dice. If I roll over 5 your plan succeeds, if I roll under 5 you'll fail. The higher I roll the fewer clues you leave behind, the lower I roll the more likely you'll leave clues to your intentions. I am rolling so I can prevent any cheating.
#4: Only the murderer and I will know who the culprit is. I will PM the victim if they were attacked or killed.
#5: If there are any problems/suggestions please don't hesitate to message me.
#6: Trying to kill someone in an idiotic manner will not be accepted.
#7: If for some reason you cannot participate any longer or will be gone for a while please message me.
#8: Please try to post at least once every 24 hours or you might be modkilled.
#9: Do not edit your posts.
