A Muzac Picked by Schaz

Alright, so it is time for me to throw my hat into this ring of insanity that is a game of Dea Aych Eye.
As always, we have the usual suspects courtesy of Lieutenant x1372, with later additions by Sheriff Acionyx, and some re-wording by Deputy Solaris!

RULES AND SHIT

show spoiler

hide spoiler

Rule 0 - No Bastard Modding
This is meant to be a fun game. As moderator, I will not lie or change the rules in the middle of the game. All characters and what they do is known at the start of the game, with no secret roles or bizarre things that actively ruin good play or reward poor play. I will never intentionally post misleading information, and will answer rules-based questions if and when they come up.

Overview
Dersehunt: Intermission: Alternate Universe, aka DHIAU is the third in the series of witchhunt/mafia/werewolf/scumfinder games starring the characters from Homestuck's first intermission (with Scratch and Pop). As with the previous two, there are three factions, THE FELT act as the standard "town" and THE MIDNIGHT CREW as a standard "mafia" with DOC SCRATCH as a third party.
The game alternates between DAY and NIGHT phases, starting with a day phase. Each night, the MIDNIGHT CREW chooses a player to MURDER. Each day, all surviving players from all factions discuss current events and vote to LYNCH one player.
NO FACTION OR CHARACTER INFORMATION IS PUBLICLY REVEALED UPON THE DEATH OF ANY PLAYER.
The game ends with a victory for a side when all members of all opposing sides are eliminated, or that result is a guaranteed foregone conclusion.
Doc Scratch seeks the defeat of both THE FELT and THE MIDNIGHT CREW, and with the awesome power of the OBLITERATION, he is more than capable of achieving it.

In-game days will last a maximum of 5 days (120 hours) and in game nights will last a maximum of 2 days (48 hours). This is subject to change, and extensions will be given for circumstances that warrant them.

Note: This is NOT an RP game. Revealing characters unnecessarily or using typing quirks/colors is generally frowned upon, and may be disastrous for your side.

Player Communication and other Rules

Rules stolen/modified from who the hell cares.

1) No editing or deleting posts. If you edit or delete your posts without good reason, you will risk being booted from the game, either through replacement or modkill.
2) Communicate with me through the use of QuickTopics – the link to which will be in the PM I will send you prior to game start.
3) Similarly, do not contact each other through use of PM at all. If your role requires contact between the two of you, you will have a shared quicktopic
4) Sharing your QuickTopics is expressly forbidden. If you feel that you need to give out your QT to someone – in the game or not – write it down in your QuickTopic and I will be the judge of it. Breaking this rule may result in being booted from the game or modkilled.
5) As an extension of Rule Three, please do not talk to people not in the game. I may need them to replace in the future, and even if they do not, I would prefer for them to not have any knowledge that I have not sanctioned. If they (or you) feel that they need (or want) certain information, contact me and they MAY be granted access to the observer quicktopic.
6) No ciphers! I'd rather people be focusing their energies on scumhunting rather than codebreaking.
7) Please Bold your Votes! As well as this, please also try to remember to unvote when you change your votes. Expect votals to be player generated, and if I or anyone else makes a mistake in them, please come forward and correct it.
8) No posting in the thread at night. Exceptions are made for lynched people to make a single “bluh” post with perhaps a “good luck” and a “have fun”, but with no information included!
9) After you die, you may make 1 (one) “bluh” post containing no information.
10) I'm generally amicable to extending deadlines, but you should assume that unless I say otherwise, when its scheduled to end it will end. If a no lynch or missed night action occurs, so be it. Mandatory actions will be randomized if a target is not selected.
11) Massclaiming is suicide in this game. Scratch will eat you.
12) Make at least one post per game day. If you do not adhere to this rule without prior forewarning, you can and will be replaced. Ideally you should post every 24 hours or so rather than every game day.
13) Setup is open. There are no secret roles or secret modifiers.
14) “Karkat-Rule” – don’t fake day-activations you don’t have.
15) “Karkat Rule 2” – If a day activation that ends the day is claimed, act as though the day has ended, at least until I have posted otherwise.
16) No direct copy/pasting from QuickTopics or Roles. Paraphrasing is fine, but don’t quote.
17) Play to your win condition, but
18) Above all, have fun, and do not get in the way of others having fun. This overrides even rule 17.

INDEPENDENT MECHANICS

show spoiler

hide spoiler

One important function of this game is that there will be links to hidden QUICKTOPICS for players. These links will be sent privately as needed, and absolutely should NOT be posted publicly.
Don't be too worried if your quicktopic has extra "unique IPs".

ALL QUICKTOPICS WILL BECOME PUBLIC AFTER THE END OF THE GAME SO DON'T TALK ABOUT OTHER GAMES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN THEM. THIS IS TOTES NOT FROM EXPERIENCE!

Each member of the felt will have his own unique quicktopic.This will be used for all special actions or private moderator questions as needed.

The Midnight Crew will have a joint quicktopic. Once a member dies, a replacement quicktopic will be linked for each member.

Doc Scratch and Cal will have a joint quicktopic. If one dies, a new topic for the survivor will be made instead.

Reminders
Manipulation and outright lies are allowed, and often encouraged. All factions can benefit from deceiving the others. ANYONE MAY CLAIM ANY ROLE, but the remaining players will have to decide for themselves what to believe. Remember, you may only communicate publicly in the main topic, or in a quicktopic you are linked to by the moderator.

In this particular version of the game, you have 100% trust that all players in your shared quicktopic is on your side, and working toward the common goal of your faction winning, so there is no reason to hide anything in a shared quicktopic.

Please do not break the rules. If you do, the moderator reserves the right to replace you or remove you from the game in a way that is as bad as possible for your side.

Voting

During the day, any player may cast a formal vote for a player to be lynched. Please be very clear, and BOLD your vote. You are permitted to change your vote at any time before a majority is reached, but once a player has a majority of over 50% of the votes, they will IMMEDIATELY be lynched. For a lynch vote, a majority of living players (over 50%) must vote for the target or the result will be NO LYNCH. However, while more than 10 players are alive, players may opt to post DEADLINE votes. A deadline vote will only activate to lynch a player at the end of the day. and thus cannot immediately end the day early like a standard lynch vote. A player may vote for only ONE target at a time.

At night, The Midnight Crew will elect a member of their group to make a kill, and that player will choose who they wish to kill, and if they will use their one-time special kill on this night. In this case, a plurality will determine the killer instead of a majority.

On every odd day, A COIN will be available. Coins are items that are given to a player by a plurality of the voters. In the event of a tie, the coin is given randomly to one of the top players on the voting list.

Note that voting for yourself, or voting for "No lynch" are legal. If 50% vote "No lynch" then it is automatically selected (with an even number of living players, this is one less than the amount necessary to make an actual lynch). There may be times where this is the right move, but these will be few and far between.

---


VANISHINGS

Several characters have powers in Dersehunt Intermission that can trigger a VANISHING.

When a player vanishes, it is announced at the start of the day that he has mysteriously vanished. The cause of the vanishing is unknown. That player will not participate in the lynch vote or be targeted by or make any actions that day, and will likewise be unavailable either to make actions or be targeted by actions the following night. After a full day and night have passed from their mysterious vanishing, the player will return to the game.

Players vanish due to actions taken the night before the vanishing. If a player who vanishes was targeted by a killing power, that kill will fail to occur, and will not be announced.

While a player is vanished, the game continues as if they were dead. However, the game will not end while a player is missing, unless that player's existence would not have mattered toward the game reaching its ending.


THE COINS

On the first day of the game, ONE COIN will be available. Additionally, one coin will appear every subsequent odd numbered day.

Whenever coins are available, players will vote among themselves to see who will get one. A plurality vote will determine who receives a coin, with the top player receiving coins on the first day of the game.

No player may ever receive a second coin. A coin will simply not appear if all living players have or had coins at one point.

There are a total of EIGHT coins, which will be given out on every odd day. No coin will be generated twice, and in the unlikely event that all 8 coins appear, no future coins will be revealed. WHAT coin is being given to a player will not be revealed before the election, and will not be publicly revealed after the election.

These are the following possibilities.
1-11 (itchy and matchsticks)
2-12 (doze and eggs)
3-13 (trace and biscuits)
4-14 (clover and quarters)
5-15 (fin and cans)
6-9 (die and stitch)
7-10 (crowbar and sawbuck)
8-8 (snowman)

When a player receives a coin, he will be informed of what coin it is. He may not trade or give his coin away. Each night he will have the option to FLIP his coin.

When a coin is flipped, the two players who have the Felt roles associated with each number will SWITCH ROLES at the start of the following day. In this regard, the 8-8 coin does nothing.

If a player receives his own coin, flipping it will have a 50% chance of instead killing the flipper. If this occurs, The flipping player will be treated as murdered in the night.
There are two exceptions to this rule.
If Clover receives the 4-14 coin, flipping this coin will always be successful, and he and whatever player is Quarters will switch roles.
If Snowman receives the 8-8 coin, flipping this coin will always kill her, and will allow her to make her revenge kill as normal.

A coin may only be flipped once, and once used, will be out of the game permanently. The flip of the coin will NOT be revealed publicly, and the flipper will still not be allowed to receive any future coins. Doc Scratch will privately be informed which coins, if any were flipped each night.

Several characters have abilities that may only be triggered ONCE PER GAME. However, switching roles will RESET these abilities for the new player with that role. On the flip side, a player who gains an information role will NOT learn what information his predecessor had gained on previous nights. The sole exception is Biscuits - if the 3-13 coin flips, the new Biscuits player WILL learn which player is, or was, Eggs.

THE ROLES IN THIS GAME

show spoiler

hide spoiler

THE FELT


The fifteen members of The Felt are working together in an attempt to eliminate the Midnight Crew and defeat Doc Scratch. Each has a unique identity and something special they can bring toward helping their side win. The Felt win together as a faction when all 4 members of the Midnight Crew are eliminated and both Doc Scratch and Cal are out of the game.


ITCHY
Once per night, Itchy may SWITCH THE HATS of two players. Any actions targeting one of those two players will instead target the other.
By doing this, Itchy VISITS both players of whom he switches hats.
Itchy may NOT switch his own hat with someone else's
If Itchy is roleblocked, his hat switch will not work. Itchy will not be informed that he was roleblocked and his hat swap didn't work, and still visits both players.
However, if after he completes his action he is roleblocked (eg: droog switches him with the player who was targeted to be roleblocked) the blocker will be treated as roleblocking him and visiting him, but his action will still go through.


DOZE
Whenever Doze would die, he instead temporarily survives. He will die instead at the end of the phase he was killed (day or night) on the following day, unless a second attempt on his life is made during this time.
If a second attempt is made on Doze's life while he is terminal, that attempt will be successful.
If Doze is roleblocked, this power will fail, and he will die immediately if killed that night.
If Doze VANISHES while he is terminal, he will immediately die upon his return.


TRACE
Once per night, Trace may learn WHO A PLAYER VISITED ON THE PREVIOUS NIGHT.
By doing this, Trace VISITS the player whose actions he learned about the previous night. This visit counts for the current night.
If Trace is roleblocked, he will be informed that he learned nothing. He will still visit the player he chose however.
Trace may use his power on the first night of the game, but naturally will learn nothing. This does give him the opportunity to visit a player, should he find that a positive thing.


CLOVER
While more than one member of the Midnight Crew is still alive, Clover will survive their attempts to murder him.
Clover will NOT be informed when his power turns off and he is vulnerable to murders.
Clover's power does nothing against lynches or Snowman's revenge kill.
If Clover is roleblocked, this power will fail, and he will die if killed that night.


FIN
Once per night, Fin may learn WHO A PLAYER VISITED ON THIS NIGHT.
By doing this, Fin visits the player whose actions he learns about.
If Fin is roleblocked, he will be informed that he learned nothing. He will still visit the player he chose however.


DIE
ONCE PER GAME, at night Die may choose to make himself VANISH.
As explained above, if Die vanishes, he will survive any attempt on his life that night and will be out of the game the following morning, and then return the morning after that.
If Die is roleblocked, he will be unable to activate his power this night. If he attempts to activate his power the night he is roleblocked, he will not vanish, but will also not use up his one opportunity to do so. If Die is busdriven the night he chooses to vanish, the person he is switched with will vanish instead.


CROWBAR
Once per night, Crowbar may use his crowbar to ROLEBLOCK a player. This player will be roleblocked for THAT NIGHT ONLY, and any attempts to use active or passive powers will not work. On the following day, all powers work as normal.
Crowbar's roleblock counts as a visit.
If he roleblocks the Midnight Crew member responsible for making a kill, that kill will not take place. The only exception to this is Boxcars' special kill.
If crowbar blocks himself with his own action (by busdriving) he will not be informed of it.
If Crowbar is the target of Hearts Boxcars' special kill, it will override any action Crowbar had attempted to make.


SNOWMAN
On her death, Snowman MUST choose a player. That player will be subject to a REVENGE KILL..
Snowman's revenge kill counts as a visit.
If Snowman is roleblocked the night she dies, she will not make a revenge kill.


STITCH
At the end of each day, if a player dies to a lynch, Stitch will learn thier identity.++++
Roleblockers got nothing on this guy.


SAWBUCK
The first time Sawbuck would be murdered, he and his murderer both VANISH.
As explained above, when players vanish, they will survive any attempt on his life that night and will be out of the game the following morning, and then return the morning after that.
Sawbuck's ability triggering counts as visiting his attacker. (Sorry Trace and Fin)
If Sawbuck is roleblocked, he will die if targeted for a kill that night.


MATCHSTICKS
Matchsticks has eleven different one-shot powers.
However, activating any of the powers has a severe consequence: Matchistkcs will visit whoever the Midnight Crew choose to murder the night he activates any power.
This means that Trace or Fin may think he made a kill, or worse, that he'll get caught in a Deuce special kill.
But then, this might just be the power that saves the innocents. or dooms them.
If Matchsticks is roleblocked, he still visits the murder victim but is informed that his power did not activate.
None of matchsticks powers trigger any sort of visiting to anyone but the murder victim.

MATCHSTICK POWERS:
01)Tomorrow night, if you choose to use a power, you will NOT visit the murder victim then (you still do tonight).
02) For the following day only, you will have 1 Paradox Clone to activate.
03) Select any other player. If that player would die tonight, they survive until the end of the following night.
04) If any players vanish tonight, they will be gone for one extra day and night cycle.
05) Name a member of The Felt. You will be informed if that character was alive or dead at the start of the night.
06) If multiple players have unflipped coins at the end of the night, the coins will randomly be shuffled among any holders.
07) Tonight, neither Itchy nor Droog will have their busdriving attempt work. They will not be informed.
08) Choose any character. If you die tonight, Clubs Deuce's report will show you as that character.
09) Tonight you burn the bodies. Clubs Deuce will be informed that he gained no information.
10) Tonight, Doc Scratch will be informed that he did not learn anything about coins.
11) Tonight, Cal will be informed that he gained no information from his check.


EGGS
During the day, you have the option to sacrifice yourself to take sole control of the lynch vote and target the player of your choosing.
Eggs may set conditional triggers for his activation so that he can react to situations that require a time-sensitive action.
Eggs may activate his power in response to the lynch of any player, if he so chooses.
Roleblockers got nothing on this guy.
Note that Biscuits knows who you are, and may be able to help out in a pinch if it looks like you are going to get lynched.


BISCUITS
You know who Eggs is.
If Eggs is Murdered, you have the option to hide in your oven and VANISH.
As explained above, if you vanish, you will survive an attempt on his life that night and will be out of the game until two mornings after you trigger the vanishing.
If the character who is Eggs changes due to a coin flip, you are NOT informed of this. However, if the player who is Biscuits changes due to a coinflip, he will learn who the CURRENT eggs is at the start of the day he becomes Biscuits.
If Biscuits is roleblocked, he will not have the opportunity to vanish if Eggs dies.


QUARTERS
On nights 1 and 4, you give the player of your choice a GUN. On the following night, they may opt to use the gun to make a kill, or lose the kill opportunity permanently.
Giving a GUN on night one is mandatory. Giving a GUN on night 4 is optional.
If Quarters gives a player a gun, it counts as visiting that player.
On nights 2 and 5, the gun holders (if alive) will have the option to KILL the target of their choice. This kill will be identical to, but separate from, a generic Midnight Crew murder.
If Quarters is Roleblocked, his attempt to hand a player a gun will not be successful.
If a GUN holder is roleblocked when they attempt to shoot someone, their kill attempt will fail.


CANS
Cans has an extra life. The first time Cans would die, from any source, he instead survives. His extra life cannot be recovered once lost
Once per game, CANS may PUNCH a player into the future, causing them to VANISH.
As explained above, if a player vanishes, he will survive any attempt on his life that night and will be out of the game the following morning, and then return the morning after that.
If cans punches a player, it counts as a visit.
If Cans is roleblocked, he will be unable to activate his power this night. If he attempts to activate his power the night he is roleblocked, he will not punch anyone, but will also not use up his one opportunity to do so. He will visit his intended victim.
If Cans is roleblocked, his extra life will not function that night. If he is roleblocked and murdered in the same night, he will die even if he had his extra life available.


THE MIDNIGHT CREW


The Midnight Crew returns once again as the primary killing faction of Dersehunt. But with all the crazy time crap that the Felt bring to the table, the crew needs a bit more power than it once did. The ability to sacrifice is gone. In its place, each member has a unique special kill that can be used, once and only once, to gain the Crew some additional advantage. The Midnight Crew win with the elimination of all other players.

Each night, the Midnight Crew selects a living member to kill a target. That player, if he has not already done so, may choose to activate his SPECIAL KILL. Whether the special kill is activated or not, attempting to murder a player will count as visiting them. If the selected player is ROLEBLOCKED, however, he will not perform a kill but will still visit his intended target.



SPADES SLICK
Main Power: Twice per game, you SLICK may LOCK ANY PLAYER IN HIS WAR CHEST, causing them to VANISH. He may not target the same player twice with this power. Additionally, he may not use the second shot until the first victim has returned.
As explained above, if a player vanishes, he will survive any attempt on his life that night and will be out of the game the following morning, and then return the morning after that.
If Slick is roleblocked, he will be unable to activate his power this night. If he attempts to activate his power the night he is roleblocked, he will not trap anyone, but will also not use up his one opportunity to do so.

Special Kill: If you activate this special kill and your target dies, Slick will STEAL the victim's power, claiming it as his own. Any passive or active abilities that player had once posessed will now belong to Slick.
Yes, that's any power. Up to and including Doc Scratch.
The only things that DO NOT happen are
1) Slick will not BE eggs so Biscuits can never treat him as such
2) Slick will not protect Scratch if he eliminates Cal in this way.
3) Is Slick special kills scratch and Cal lives, Cal will NOT protect slick.
If slick steals a one-shot power, he gains it as if it had not been used whether the original owner used it or not.
Slick may NOT use any active power he gained the night that he gained it.
Slick's victim may still use any active power the night Slick kills him. I
If snowman dies to Slick's special kill, she still makes a revenge kill.
If Slick is roleblocked the night he attempts to use his special kill, he will not kill or use the power. If he attempts to activate his power the night he is roleblocked, he will not kill anyone, but will also not use up his one opportunity to do so.
If Slick attempts to kill a player who has VANISHED, he will recognize that they are gone and NOT use his special kill. No kill will occur that night.


DIAMONDS DROOG
Main Power: Each night, you SWITCH THE PLACES of two players. An actions targeting one will now target the other.
By doing this, Droog VISITS both players of whom he switches places
Droog may NOT switch his own place with someone else's
Droog may NOT switch the place of the player selected for the MURDER that night. If a member of the midnight Crew has a GUN, he MAY switch their place if they are not also selected for the night's MURDER.
If Droog is roleblocked, his location switch will not work. Droog will not be informed that he was roleblocked and his place swap didn't work, and still visits both players.

Special Kill: On the night you use your special kill, you select a murder target. You will then be informed of what character you were about to attack. After gaining this information, you may opt to CHANGE the target of your kill to a different player. This second target will be the night's murder victim if this option is used.
Droog can use this special kill to gain a bit of information or to be absolutely sure that Itchy isn't tricking him into murdering one of his own.
If Droog is roleblocked the night he attempts to use his special kill, he will not kill or use the power. If he attempts to activate his power the night he is roleblocked, he will not kill anyone, but will also not use up his one opportunity to do so.
If Droog attempts to special kill a player who has VANISHED, he will recognize that his target is not there, and use his power to switch to a different target.


CLUBS DEUCE
Main Power: At the start of each day, you learn who the MURDER victim was. If multiple players died to MURDER, you learn all of them.
If Clubs Deuce is roleblocked at night, he will be informed that he gained no information the following day.

Special Kill: On the night you use your special kill, you select a murder target. That player will be murdered, and a bomb will be placed under their hat. Any other player who visited that player (including Matchsticks if he activated one of his powers) will ALSO be murdered.
If a player would survive (due to their own power or due to a triggered vanish) all players who visited them will still be murdered as well.
If Deuce is roleblocked the night he attempts to use his special kill, he will not kill or use the power. If he attempts to activate his power the night he is roleblocked, he will not kill anyone, but will also not use up his one opportunity to do so.
If Deuce targets a player who has VANISHED, he WILL USE HIS SPECIAL KILL ANYWAY and leave his bomb. The bomb will still hit anyone (except deuce) who visited the player who vanished.


HEARTS BOXCARS
Main Power: Hearts Boxcars has an extra life. The first time Boxcars would die, from any source, he instead survives. His extra life cannot be recovered once lost.
If Boxcars is roleblocked, his extra life will not function that night. If he is roleblocked and murdered in the same night, he will die even if he had his extra life available.

Special Kill: On the night you use your special kill, you select a murder target. That player will be ROLEBLOCKED as well as murdered.
This special kill overrides even roleblocks. If you are roleblocked the night you attempt this kill, it will still go through, blocking your target and preventing him from using any power as he dies.
The ONLY way that a player could survive this special kill is if it targets Doc Scratch after he made a successful obliteration or while Cal lives. Even a power that would make a player vanish will not prevent a Boxcars special kill.
This special kill overrides even vanishings. If a player would have vanished, it doesn't matter, Boxcars' special kill will hit them anyway.


SCRATCH FACTION


Yes. He's back. And he's out for blood.

Doc Scratch and Cal are back, largely unchanged from Dersehunt 2. Scratch still wields the power of the obliteration, and have protection granted by Cal. However, Cal will now have his own unique power instead of replacing someone else in the game, and the information that the faction has about the Midnight Crew has changed. However, the scratch faction has one... minor... advantage that they didn't have before, and have a reasonable chance to completely dominate the game if given the opportunity.

Beware revealing even partial hints about your role, no matter what side you're on. Because once the obliterations start, everything goes straight to chaotic hell.


DOC SCRATCH
You wield the power of the OBLITERATION. Once per day, you may publicly reveal yourself to OBLITERATE a player as a character. If they match, you will become COMPLETELY INVINCIBLE until the following day. A successful obliteration will also grant the faction one PARADOX CLONE. If they do not match, you publicly are revealed to have failed your obliteration attempt.
Obliterations are made by saying, either in your quicktopic or publicly, that you will obliterate a player as a character.
Once Doc Scratch is publicly revealed (either by surviving two lynches, surviving a lynch and a murder, or by attempting an obliteration) he must make his obliteration within the first 24 hours of the day or lose it for that day from the next day forward.
Doc MAY ask for the result of the murder and make an obliteration in the daystart post. The advantage of doing this is that if its successful he may silence a player before anything else can happen.
Additionally, Doc can not be prevented from obliterating by time-sensitive means. If players attempt a quick lynch or Eggs activates before Doc has made his daily obliteration attempt, he will still be able to obliterate someone before the lynch goes through. Once the 24 hours grace period is over, he may not reactively lynch once he's revealed.
While Cal lives, Doc Scratch will be immune to murders and lynches. Beware though, this does NOT apply to Snowman's revenge kill.
If Cal is roleblocked on the night Doc is murdered, Doc will die unless he has the protection granted by an obliteration.
Doc is the only character who will NOT DIE if both roleblocked and murdered in the same night (either while cal lives or he has obliteration protection).
Doc has a few additional sources of information.
If Cal dies, Doc will LEARN WHAT MEMBERS OF THE MIDNIGHT CREW ARE ALIVE at the point that Cal died.
Assuming that he is not blocked, if a coin is flipped, Doc learns which coin was flipped. If multiple coins are flipped, he will learn all of the flipped coins. COOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS.


CAL
hee hee. hoo hoo. haa haa.
While Cal lives, Doc Scratch will survive attempts to lynch or murder him.
Each night, Cal can select a player. He will learn what COLOR that player is.
Colors go as follows:
WHITE: Cal, Scratch
BLACK: All Midnight Crew members, Snowman
GREEN: All Felt members except Snowman
Cal's color check counts as a visit.
If Cal is roleblocked, he will gain no information that night.
If Cal is roleblocked, he will NOT protect Doc Scratch that night. Protection will resume the following morning.
If Cal VANISHES, he will protect Doc scratch the night the vanishing was triggered but NOT the following day or night.
If the game ever gets down to a 1v1 situation of Cal vs. any other player, Cal will win the game for the Scratch Faction.


PARADOX CLONES
A paradox clone is an extra one-shot vote that can be used by Doc Scratch or Cal.
The Scratch faction gains a paradox clone each time Doc Scratch makes a successful obliteration.
Paradox Clones can be activated privately in the Scratch faction Quicktopic or publicly.
Once a paradox clone is used, it is added permanently to the day's vote collection. This may or may not increase the number necessary to lynch someone, and the vote cannot be changed or recalled once activated.
Paradox Clones still exist and can be activated by Cal if Scratch dies before Cal does.
Paradox clones can be activated even after a lynch has reached majority.

NIGHT PRIORITY CHART

show spoiler

hide spoiler

This determines the order and priority of all actions on any given night of Dersehunt Intermission.

Priority 1: Roleblocking of Itchy
(only if Crowbar blocks Itchy or Boxcars special kills Itchy)

Priority 2: Itchy busdrive
(Itchy may choose two players to swap positions for all future actions tonight, visiting both)

priority 3: roleblocking of droog
(only if Crowbar blocks Droog or Boxcars special kills Droog)

priority 4: droog busdrive
(Droog may choose two players to swap positions for all future actions tonight, visiting both)

priority 5: boxcars kill
(Boxcars special kill, which roleblocks and kills target, has precedence over everything but busdrives)

priority 6: roleblocks
(Crowbar's roleblock priority goes here if he didn't hit itchy or Droog before their bussing, and counts as a visit)

priority 7: night actions
(All night actions happen at once. Here's a checklist for what's possible
7a) trace visits someone and learns who they visited the previous night (subject to busdrives tonight but NOT last night)
7b) Fin visits someone and learns who they visited tonight. (subject to busdrives, if his target is driven, he still thinks his old target visited whoever his result is)
7c) Matchsticks may activate a power. If he does, he visits the murder victim (as relevant for Trace/Fin/Deuce Special Kill)
7d) Quarters MUST give a player a GUN on night 1, and MAY give a player a GUN on night 4. Giving a gun counts as a visit.
7e) Cal may visit a player and learn if they are BLACK, GREEN, or WHITE.
7f) Any player who has a COIN may FLIP it. If not roleblocked, the two players who had the roles assigned to that coin's numbers swap characters.

Priority 8: Coin Suicide
(If in 7f, a player flips his own coin, he has a 50% chance of INSTANT DEATH instead. This happens before a vanish would have hit that player, but the player can still be targeted for a vanish trigger (he just dies instead of vanishes). Clover is immune to Coin Suicide, Snowman triggers it 100%.)

Priority 9: Vanishing Triggers
(the three vanishing trigger options that can pre-empt a murder)
8a) Die can make himself vanish, once per game (note: If Die is bussed by itchy or Droog, the bussed character vanishes instead of Die)
8b) Cans can make any one player EXCEPT himself vanish, once per game
8c) Slick can make ANY player vanish, twice per game. He can't hit the same person twice, and has to wait until the first returns to target a second.

Priority 10: Murders
(Killing powers activate!)
10a) Murder - The Midnight Crew selects one member to attempt to kill the player of their choice. They may have that player use a one-time special kill, if Boxcars is used, it instead is higher priority.
10b) Gun - On nights 2 and 5, a player who was given a gun the previous night may use it to visit and attempt to kill anyone they choose. (On the off chance they choose themselves, a busdrive will make them kill whoever they were switched with.)

Priority 11: Reactionary Vanishings
(players can vanish in response to something that happens)
11a) Sawbuck AUTOMATICALLY vanishes, makes his murderer vanish, and visits his murder victim if targeted for a murder in phase 10. This only works once.
11b) Biscuits is informed if Eggs was murdered, and may vanish that night if he chooses to.

Priority 12: Snowman Revenge
(If snowman dies, she makes her revenge kill here.

Priority 13: Daystart
Daystart will announce any deaths
Daystart will announce any vanishes
Daystart will announce the appearance of coins (or not)
Daystart will announce snowman's revenge kill if applicable
Daystart will announce any survivals of kills (except triggered by vanishes)


Priority 14: information reveals
13a)Trace gets his track result
13b) Fin gets his track result
13c) Matchsticks gets his information (if applicable)
13d) Cal gets his check result
13e) Scratch - learns WHAT, IF ANY, COINS WERE FLIPPED LAST NIGHT. If cal died yesterday or last night, Scratch learns what members of the Midnight Crew are still alive
13f) Deuce learns who got murdered last night
13g) If any power that had LIMITED USES was used last night, the player is informed that he still has the power due to being roleblocked. Coins count as one-use powers.
13h) If a player lost an extra life, it is confirmed here
13i) Any player whose COIN WAS FLIPPED learns their new role
13j) Any player who RECEIVED A GUN gets it
13k) Any matchsticks shenanigans that effects other players informs them here
13l) DO NOT FORGET that any power stolen by Spades Slick has to happen too, including him getting information. As Scratch, Biscuits, or Deuce he still gets his passive information the night he takes the power.

This game will feature 21 players, plus hopefully several alternates since this going perfectly and no one leaving the game unannounced or asking for a replacement is absolutely idiotic.

In the event that an alternate needs to be called, I will send a PM to all alternates, and the first to respond will get the spot.

If replacements are necessary at gamestart (due to a player not responding) I will go down the replacement list. Once the game is under way, alternates will be done by first respondent to mass PM.

Observers will have a list of matching players to characters, and will have a quicktopic for discussion about current events in the game. They will also have my list of night actions, and hopefully help me resolve them if I make a mistake.

NOTES

show spoiler

hide spoiler

Players will NOT be informed when they are roleblocked UNLESS...
1) They are an information role. They will be informed that they gained no information.
2) They have and attempt to use any one-shot abilities. They will be informed that their ability failed to work. HOWEVER, they WILL NOT LOSE THAT ONE SHOT ABILITY.

Note: If any player is roleblocked while attempting a visiting action, they will still visit.
Note: If a KILLING ATTEMPT is roleblocked, no kill attempt will occur, and thus no target will be revealed to have survived.
Note: If a KILLING ATTEMPT is blocked by the target VANISHING, the kill attempt target will NOT be publicly announced. It will be functionally indistinguishable from if the killer was roleblocked.
Note: If a player SURVIVES a killing attempt (due to their role power) it will be revealed that they were targeted and survived.
Note: If an information role VANISHES, he will NOT gain his information. It will be lost to him, even after his return.
Note: If a player gains a role that has a one-shot action due to a flipped COIN, he will have access to that action, even if its previous owner had already used it.
Note: Roleblocking and Busdriving effects are for THAT NIGHT ONLY. They do not effect any powers the following day, active or passive.
Note: If Scratch is NOT revealed, and eggs activates, scratch may obliterate anyone but eggs in reaction.

Note: If a murderer is busdriven the night he targets sawbuck he will still vanish along with fatty.
Note: Clarification on Matchsticks death delay power: He can choose to use it on any other player but himself, and if they would die that night then they would survive until the end of the next night, which means it can allow one to survive a snowman revenge kill.
Note: Paradox clones can be used reflexively after a lynch has occurred.

If an info role's coin is flipped, he gets his information and his new character simultaneously.
Coins are attached to players, not characters. If A player holding a coin has HIS coin flipped, he will still hold his coin despite his new character.
In the unlikely event that Itchy and Slick-Itchy are both alive (due to a coinflip after a character kill), if their drivings conflict with one another, Slick will go first.

NIGHT ACTION PRIORITY LIST BOOGALOO

show spoiler

hide spoiler

Priority for actions will be in this order.

1) Roleblock of Itchy (if itchy is roleblocked, his busdriving will not occur)
2) Itchy's busdriving
3) Roleblock of Diamond Droog (if Droog is roleblocked after itchy's busdriving is worked out, his busdriving will not occur)
4) Diamond Droog's busdriving
5) Heart's Boxcar's special kill
6) Any other roleblocking
7) Night actions (Trace, Fin, Matchsticks, Quarters, Cal, coin flips)
8) Any power that actively causes a player to VANISH in any way (Slick, Die, Cans)
9) Midnight Crew and GUN kills
10) Reactionary vanishings (Sawbuck, Biscuits)
11) Snowman Revenge Kill (if applicable)
12) Daystart
13) Results for information roles, new characters for flipped coins

QUESTIONS AND AAAAAAAYS

show spoiler

hide spoiler

If Slick takes a life off of Cans, does he gain Cans' powers?

Yes if Slick FINISHES CANS OFF, no if he just removes a life. If Slick KILLS cans, Slick gains BOTH of cans powers in this case - the extra life, and the punch. However, Slick's kill MUST kill cans for this to occur, if it bounces off the extra life he gains nothing.

---

If a member of the Midnight Crew special kills a target and does not kill them [due to vanishings or what have you], is his special kill used up?

If the kill hits them but fails to kill, it is used up. If the target VANISHES things are far more complicated, and I guess I have to make a few rulings here I hadn't before. These will be edited into the special kill section for each character.

Boxcars' kill is higher priority than vanishings. He'll kill straight through any vanish attempt.

Slick will recognize that his target is no longer there, and will not use his special kill. If his target vanishes, he will NOT USE OR LOSE HIS SPECIAL KILL.

Droog will recognize that his target is no longer there. He will, as usual, have the option to switch targets. It will be assumed that Droog will do so, and thus Droog will still use his special kill, and take advantage of the target switching option to prevent himself from having the vanish trigger a whiff.

Deuce will still use his special kill, even if the target vanishes. The target won't die, but anyone who attempted to visit that target will. This may or may not end up killing anyone (if Cans punched the target, then it will hit Cans) but Deuce's power is used up whether it hits anyone or not.

---

Can coins switch roles from the dead to the living?

Yes. A coin flip can either switch the roles of two living players, or of a living player with a dead player. This can help or hinder either side. If the 5-15 coin is flipped after Fin dies, whatever player is CANS will switch roles and become Fin. If both live, both will change roles. If both are dead, the flip does nothing relevant, as dead players don't return to the game.

---

If Cal is vanished, does Doc Scratch's protection stay?

No. Doc Scratch has two potential forms of protection. One requires that cal be alive and present, and the other requires that he has successfully obliterated.

Assuming Cal wasn't roleblocked, his passive power works that night to protect Doc. Therefore the night that a Cal vanishing is triggered, Doc has Cal protection. However, this DOES NOT apply to Doc on the following day or the following night - he will be vulnerable to lynches and murders in the interim, IF he does not make an obliteration.

---

Does a coin flip implicating a Vanished player automatically fail, and is the coin expended?

No. A coin flip will change things for both players on the coin, alive, dead, or vanished. The vanished player will receive his new role immediately upon his return.

---

Also: Can Slick acquire Doze's ability with his special kill, or would it only work when he performs the special kill, after Doze's ability has triggered, and the additional murder would kill him outright?

Slick's special kill will only work if Doze dies immediately from the kill. Since Doze's power will normally make him survive, Slick will gain no power.

However, if Slick hits Doze the night after Doze is lynched or murdered, the second attempt will go through and kill Doze, granting Slick his power. However, in that event, Doze WOULD have died normally had he not been targeted.

---

Does matchsticks lose his one-shot if he uses it and he is roleblocked? It seems that way, but wanted clarification.

All one shot powers are refunded if a player is roleblocked.

---

Can Scratch be caused to vanish by Cans?

Yes. This could be a delaying tactic. However, the game will not end while a vanished player is gone (unless their existence would be irrelevant) so Cans won't likely be winning the game by punching scratch.

Can Biscuits delay when he vanishes?

No. Biscuits will have one and only one option to vanish, if Eggs is murdered. If he selects not to do so immediately, he will not have that option in the future.

If 2 things would cause a target to vanish (like Cans hitting Die when die uses his power), will either be refunded?

No, both will be used and the target will vanish. Neither will know that they were superfluous.

If an MC is vanished on the night he uses his special kill, is the kill expended?

The kill won't happen since the MC member won't be there to make it, so it won't be used. The only exception is Boxcars special kill, as it has higher priority than a vanishing. Boxcars can trigger his special kill and be forced to vanish in the same night.

If the 2-12 coin gets flipped between Doze's murder and his death, who dies, if anyone?

The delayed death will be attached to the player, not the character. Whatever player that had his life extended by the Doze power will still die as normal if nothing else happens. On the flip side, the new Eggs is pretty likely to activate his superlynch under these circumstances.

How the hell does droog and itchy busdriving the same person even work?

Uhm. Well...

If John is bussed with Rose by Itchy, then Rose with Dave by Droogs, Then actions go from John to Dave, Rose to John, and Dave to Rose.

MORE WORDS AND CARDS

show spoiler

LYNCH
A lynch occurs at the end of the day, when a majority vote to lynch one of their own. The target is not publicly revealed, and dies immediately except in 4 special cases.


MURDER
Each night, the Midnight Crew has one of its members murder a target. That target dies immediately, with few exceptions. A player given a GUN by quarters also may commit a murder the following night.


REVENGE KILL
When Snowman dies, she makes a revenge kill. With few exceptions, the target of the revenge kill immediately dies.


SURVIVAL
A player has survived an attempt on their life. Depending on how the attempt was made, there are many possibilities.
If a player survives a lynch, it is due to one of the following: Scatch with Cal protection, Scratch with obliteration protection, Doze (survives until end of next day), Cans (loses extra life) or Boxcars (loses extra life).
If a player survives a murder, it is due to one of the following: Scratch with Cal protection, Scratch with obliteration protection, Doze (survives until end of the next night), Clover (if 2+ MC alive), Sawbuck (triggers a double vanishing instead), Cans (loses extra life) or Boxcars (loses extra life).
If a player survives a revenge kill, there are 4 possibilities: Scratch with Obliteration protection, Doze (survives until end of same phase next day), Cans (loses extra life) or Boxcars (loses extra life).


OBLITERATION
Each day, Doc Scratch may publicly reveal himself and attempt to obliterate a player. If successful, he will kill that player (or remove an extra life), gain invincibility for the day and night, and gain one paradox clone.


EGGS ACTIVATION
Eggs may choose to sacrifice himself during the day to singlehandedly determine the lynch vote. This power overrides even paradox clones voting.

FINAL NOTES:

Game starts on March 1st at Midnight EST.
Rules are subject to change until roles are handed out and the game starts.
The moderator reserves the right to refuse, replace, or otherwise reject a player. The moderator has no intention of doing so and plans to have this be first come first serve.
If you aren't SURE that you're interested in a game where you post at least once every 24 hours and has a whole lot of craziness involved, please do not sign up. If you change your mind, it will not be treated as a sign of weakness, but this game is expected to be intense, and if that isn't what you're looking for, there are plenty of other games on the forums.
