As you wake up at your house, you begin to remember the gods coming last night, before all of you fell asleep, cursing the town for being too evil, so now, three people are cursed to murder one person per night
Welcome to The Darkest Night, a mafia game. This is the recruiting thread, I'm going to shoot for 14 people, but I can play with 10
Process
Mafia on here starts with a simple process.
Make a sign up thread, and wait for enough people to join. What I'm doing here.
The game starts. Different roles will be assigned to different people. This can be a Town Role, Mafia Role, or Neutral Role. The different roles are in the Roles Section if you want to see what they are.
People are pm'ed their roles and the game thread is made. The game starts. :D
Then the actual game is split into two periods: Day and Night.
Day: People can discuss who they think mafia is and vote for who they think is the most suspicious. You can vote someone by saying: VOTE: PERSON or choose against it by saying VOTE: SKIP VOTE. The one with the most votes dies, and their role will be revealed. Day lasts 48 IRL hours (or more if I'm busy or purposefully extend it), and then it goes to night.
Night: This is when the regular townsfolk sleep and those with special roles do their stuff. Everything during night is done in PMs for secrecy, and people don't discuss the game in the main thread (you can goof around, just don't say stuff like who you're sus of). Night lasts 24 IRL hours (or more if I'm busy or purposefully extending it), and then it goes back to day and I'll reveal the results of the actions (whether it be in PM or the main thread).
Day and Night may last shorter then expected if everyone has voted for day or done their actions for night. This goes on in an endless cycle until a win goal is met.
Roles
Town
Regular Townie- No special abilities
Ritualist (Detective)- Can talk to the gods, and ask about one person each night. The dead will say if they are guilty or innocent (neutral are counted as guilty).
First Responder (Doctor)- Has a first aid kit that they can use to heal people if they arrive on time. Each night, you can choose one person that can be yourself. if this person is attacked, they will not die.
Hunter (Vigilante)- Previously hunter of animals, this dangerous game has combined with your boldness to make you take drastic measures. Each night, you can choose to shoot a specific person and possibly catch a mafia. If you shoot a townsfolk, your confidence dwindles and you decide to stick to animals. (Becoming a regular townie)
Storyteller (Jailer)- Can distract a person by going into their cabin and telling them a story, wearing a mask and playing a record to hide your identity. Doing this will prevent them from performing their night actions if they have any.
Lovers: Two people are chosen at the begining of the game, if one of them dies, the other one does too
Neutral
We'll only have one of these, or no neutrals at all
The laughing death(Jester)- Doesn't want to die, and will go in a frenzy to prevent being voted out. Upon being voted out, will kill an amount of people equal to half of the total town at the start of the game. (For example, if we start with 12 then 6 die. This will be rounded down for odd numbers.) If this ends the game, the Jester wins. Otherwise they don't.
Mafia
Masked murderer (Mafia Goon)- Is eligible for the night's kill. No special abilities.
Skeleton Key (Consort)- Only eligible for the night's kill if all other mafia are dead. Can open any doors regardless of if they're previously locked, but also lock any doors regardless of if they're previously open. Each night you can choose one person to lock in their cabin. This person will be unable to perform night actions if they have any.
Possessed demon (Mafia Detective)- Is eligible for the night's kill. Can alternatively choose a person to peer into the soul of a person, learning their exact role.

Ok so first off, Gato I specifically asked you to change the non-gameplay parts of the role descriptions and you only did that for two words in one role. And you only changed the title for two, one of which is hardly even a change. I mean in the end theming is secondary/icing on the cake but still, wanted to say.
Gameplay wise, I don't really have much to criticize, besides that the lovers role should be town instead of neutral. (Or just two random people in the game overall regardless of faction if you wanna make things more interesting) One because I believe that's how it's normally done, and two because it disrupts the town-not town balance. Even if there's no jester, then after 1 mislynch and a kill only half the town is actually town and has town priorities assuming 12 players. As a general rule I stole from Vitus I tend to do 1 non-town in every 3 town. So 12 players would be 4 non town total.

Hello! I am a perfectly sane gibberer. Hi! :D
Locations are dead, the Temple of Potassium has fallen but its ideals live on
I’m a decent DM and an above average rules lawyer I have several complete Pokedexes | I may be stupid, but at least I’m not smart! My favorite characters from dead threads; AMA: Aria, Rade, Kiano & Luz, Juniper, Ezra & Dr. Paine, Xi & his siblings, Misa Stay Paranoid!!! My Drummer given title is Swift as the Dragon, but The Diabolical One named me Virex the Whisperbrand, Architect of Echoes May the dice roll ever in your favor
I am down. Hopefully I won't be slain first night (like last time).
