    ‎‏‏‎ ‎


    Darkshire, formerly known as the Grand Hamlet, is a once-quaint woodland village located in the cursed Duskwood. The surrounding forests have been filled with an evil malaise that cloaks the land in constant darkness. The walking dead choke the graveyards, and foul creatures known as worgen have overrun many of the outlying farmsteads. Even worse, Stormwind City has all but abandoned the village, leaving the people of Darkshire no choice but to defend themselves.

    Hello, and welcome to the fourth installment in my series of story-based Warcraft games.

    Part I: The Scourge of Lordaeron
    Part II: Eternity's End
    Part III: The Eastern Kingdoms

    Please review the following rules and mechanical guidelines before we begin, even if you feel like you don't need to. Some things are different from my previous games.

    Spoiler: Rules
    1. Do not discuss the game outside the thread or moderator-designated private chats.

    2. Day phases last for 36 hours, and night phases for 12 hours. Collectively, a 48 hour day+night is called a cycle. During the day, players can post and cast lynch votes. Failing to vote for another player will count as 2 votes toward yourself, and you cannot vote for no lynch. Players cannot post during the night.

    3. Votes must be phrased [vote lynch X] or [change vote lynch X] or I may overlook them.

    4. Role revealing is allowed, but not recommended. All non-town players have been equipped with fake claims.

    5. Do not edit or delete your posts.

    6. Do not screenshot or quote your private messages from the moderator.

    7. If the game ends in an RNG lynch, then it will be declared a draw with no victor.

    Spoiler: Mechanics
    1. "Doctors," or roles with protective abilities, cannot protect themselves. Roleblocks disable passive defenses ie bulletproof abilities. Players who are roleblocked will learn that they were blocked.

    2. One shot abilities may be used again if they fail or if they are blocked.

    3. Faction kills are performed by a specific member of that mafia, and can be tracked or roleblocked by targeting that person. The mafia will decide among themselves who receives which role.

    4. In ability descriptions, "murder" refers to one player killing another with an ability or the mafia faction kill, as opposed to dying by lynching.

    5. When a player is murdered during the night, the writeup will only say that they died and what their role was, not which faction killed them. Failed kills will not appear in the writeup.

    6. A superkill is a kill that bypasses roleblocks and defensive abilities. A role crush strips a player of all their abilities, turning them generic.

    Spoiler: Action processing
    This is the order in which different types of night actions are processed. Mafia and indies will have priority on most ability interactions. If players of equal priority attempt to roleblock each other, then the roleblocks will cancel each other out and neither will have an effect.

    1. Role crushes
    2. Roleblocks
    3. Redirects
    4. Mafia & indie kills
    5. Town kills
    6. All other types of abilities

    Hello again, guys!

    Oh Nana already is a spoiled role, cool.

    Question for you amazing experienced mafia players: if you're not sure who to lynch in a game, as in town isn't sure in general, who is the best candidate? A less active player? A player who doesn't scum hunt? :psyduck

    Trying to butter people up already.

    Someone usually does something silly or out of character. Or the things you said. But that feels somewhat obvious, no?

    My very first online mafia game was on this forum, but I’ve played irl before. I mainly play on thriller bark and here now as well. I have a total of about 20-ish online games underneath my belt I’d say. Although spread out over a decent amount of time.
