    Game Mechanics

    Spoiler : :
    Game phases:
    Day(24 hours) - At the start of each day a town is given information about latest nights casualities, town population and newspapers are printed out. After that people can chat, vote and lynch someone when they achieve majority(more than 50% of votes). This phase continues even after successful execution. At this time players can invite people to private night chat (if they have that ability) and Jailor may choose their captive.
    Night(24 hours) - During this phase players can participate in night chats and use their night action. They may participate in any amount of night chats.
    Deaths:
    Player's role and allignment is publicly revealed upon death.
    Players cant write last wills.
    Killing roles cant write death notes.
    Killing acts as roleblock - killed player didn't perform any night action (except private conversation, jailing, sermon) the night they were killed.
    Entertainment:
    Town Entertainment roles have a very unique win condition. After the game ends players may send a private message to game host voting for entertainer's win. If they get more than 50% of votes they win.

    Re: S-FM The mystery

    Very interesting setup.

    First question though, how long is a day? You say you've split the day into 3 phrases, but does that mean you fit all 3 phases into 24 hours?
    The community is International, and many study/work at many different times. So to give only a 12 hour space for discussion can be quite limiting.

    Town roles in this game, are basically neutral benign roles, correct?

    The goal for the Entertainment role "Entertain the town! Host will decide if you won the game..." is difficult, as it relies on knowing what you (the host) finds entertaining.
    A suggestion is an anonymous vote at the end of the game, from the players to see if they are entertained?

    Your game is going to require anonymous accounts due to the existence of account swapping roles.

    Re: S-FM The mystery

    Thank you for your suggestions. I modified the Town Entertainment win condition to "Entertain the town! Players will decide if you won the game..." Also the lengths of game phases were changed. As for your suggestion about requiring multiple accounts - Ive already realised that managing Disguisers functionality will be a difficult thing to do.

    After carefully reading this setup, its weird and fun looking, much like a lawless game in the mafia mod. I'm going to approve it (Althought a little late).
