Roles

Village
The Village wins when all members of the Witch Coven are dead, and at least one Villager is alive.

Priest: Each night, check if a player is in the Witch Coven.

Acolyte: At the start of the game, you learn who the Priest is.

Judge: At the end of day, if the Lynch vote is tied or no lynch, you may kill a player of your choosing. This does not count as a lynch for Vigilante purposes.

Vigilante: The first Night after two consecutive lynches of Village members, you may kill a player. A Vigilante kill appears the same as a regular Witch Night Kill.

Oracle: Each night, pick a player. If that player was visited by any other party, you learn how many Witches were alive at the start of that night. Possible Visits: Witch Kill, Vigilante Kill, Priest check, Clown throw, Angel protect - including a deathcurse blocked Angel protect.

Gambler: At the start of the game, choose even or odd. On those nights, you have Protection from a kill.

Leeroy: You may kill yourself to immediately determine the Lynch target, so long as a majority has not been reached. Your death, and who you select will be announced at day end. This does not count as a lynch for Vigilante purposes.

Graverobber: Once per game at night, pick a dead player and learn their role. Witches are told when you do this.

D.O.B.: When you die, choose another player to die with you. Your death and the target you select will be announced at day start if you are killed in the night, or at day end if you die to a lynch.

Clown: Each night, select a player to hit with a pie. Players hit by pies are told, and if you selected the same target as the Priest or Oracle, you have Protection from a kill for that night (though you are not informed you had protection).


Witches
Witches win when all Villagers are dead or nothing can prevent this from happening. Witches can freely communicate with each other and have a nightly kill.

Demon: Each night, you are informed of who the Priest and Oracle visited, but not who visited which player.

Occultist: At the end of each night, you are informed of the Guardian Angels' protection target that night. If the Guardian Angels protect same target two nights in a row without preventing their death, learn that target's role.

Necromancer: Learn the role of players killed by the Witch Night Kill.


Mechanics

Timing: Day will be 72 hours, while night will be 24 hours.

Lynches:The day ends when the day end timer arrives. The day can be ended prematurely with a HARD LYNCH, which will be roughly 3/4 of the alive players. SOFT LYNCH will be majority, and will determine the lynch at Day End. If a SOFT LYNCH is not reached by Day End, it will go to the Judge, or result in a no lynch. Voting for No Lynch is permissible. There are no deadline votes.

Deaths: Roles are not revealed upon death.

Soup: At night, instead of making the group Night Kill, a Witch may instead choose to drink Soup. Doing so allows them to Match a player to an Innocent role one at a time until they are incorrect or choose to stop. Each correctly Matched player dies. They may do this once per Witch. Dead Witches cannot use Soup.

A successful Match will only give the 'PlayerName has Died' message. On an incorrect match, the message is 'Xanthippe the Witch attempted to Soupkill Yolanda the [Incorrect Role Name], but failed', but if no players have been killed that night with Soup, the identity of the Witch is not revealed - 'A Witch attempted to Soupkill Amelia the [Incorrect Role Name], but failed'.

Lump, the Faithful Panda: On Day 1, there is a plurality vote for Lump to be a player's friend (witches choose who wins a tie). Lump always Lynch votes the same as his friend, adding an extra vote. If Lump's friend dies, Lump leaves the game.

Guardian Angels: Dead players become Angels. Each Night, the Angels decide by plurality vote to Protect a player (tie = no protect). A Protected player can't die to regular kills that night (Vigilante Kill or Witch Night Kill). "No Protect" is a valid vote.

Angels get the results of Priest checks at the end of each night. Angels are unable to give Protection when there are four or fewer living players at the start of night.

Death Curse: Once per game during Day, dead Witches may cast a Death Curse, which renders any Protection that Night ineffective. After casting a Death Curse, the Witch may not vote any further in Angel chat (but can still post in it). Living players are not informed of a Death Curse. Angels are not informed of a Death Curse until the end of that night.

Witches Last Gasp: If a Witch dies to a standard lynch (not judge or leeroy), their power continues to work for the coven that night.

Night Kill Survival: If a player survives being killed at night there is no public announcement made. However, the player is told privately that they survived.

Timing Specific Role Actions: D.O.B, Leeroy and Judge can have pre-queued conditionals set up at all times in their QuickTopics. (Ex: If I reach soft lynch at any point, I wish to activate Leeroy on Player X. Ex #2: I'm currently setting myself to revenge kill Player Y if I die).

Hot Spicy FLAVOR
​

It all started with the panda. Fourteen of you were living comfortable, if slightly boring lives in your sleepy little village. Then one day, Old Man McGreedy bought a panda from a passing menagerie. Everyone gathered in the town square to marvel at the size and cuddly, warm friendliness of the panda.

You’re all so enamored with the panda, in fact, that you don’t notice the storm clouds on the horizon. Storm clouds on the horizon are never a good thing. The frenzy around the panda reaches hilarious levels.

“We should make him an honorary member of the village,” someone says.

“No, let’s make him the mayor!” chimes in someone else.

“No, let’s induct him into the Inner Circle with the Ritual of a Thousand Ice Cubes!” (The village you live in is pretty odd)

“No, let’s sacrifice him to the Unholy One, K’tesh, Devourer of Souls, God of the Underworld, Hate, Misery, and Telecommunications Companies!”

There’s an awkward silence. No one’s quite sure who spoke up with that last one.

Everyone looks left and right at their friends and neighbors. You all back away, slowly, into your houses. Doors are locked, torches are lit, and everyone spends a tense, sleepless night wondering just which one of you is some kind of unholy monster. And if perhaps, PERHAPS, they weren’t the only one.

In the morning, you find Old Man McGreedy’s body strung up in the rafters of his barn. There’s a large pentagram carved on the floor, in blood of course.

Witchcraft. Just as you suspected.

Luckily, Old Man McGreedy managed to carve a shaky message into his own flesh with his fingernails. Always was rather clever and quick-thinking, McGreedy.

“THERE ARE THREE WITCHES.”

With that helpful bit of information, you all agree that the most sensible thing to do is to construct a noose in the village square, and hang people every day until you’ve finally rid your town of witchcraft, once and for all.

Oh, and that panda’s hanging around, looking mildly confused. You should probably figure out what to do with him, too.
