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 4 is the next in the increasingly poorly named series of witchhunt/mafia/werewolf/scumfinder games starring the characters from Homestuck eliminating one another until only one faction remains. The SKAIANS act as the standard "town" while THE MIDNIGHT CREW and THE CHAOS FACTION act as competing mafias while SWEET BRO, HELLA JEFF, AND GEROMY work together as a third party.
The game alternates between DAY and NIGHT phases, starting with a day phase. Each night, the MIDNIGHT CREW and CHAOS FACTION each choose 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.
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.
Compared to Dersehunt 3, there are several MAJOR changes - the removal of the guardians, the addition of Ms. Paint, and Jack noir's RECKONING ability, for the most obvious ones.
COMMUNICATION
Standard forum wall of text communication rules apply.
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. Eridan and Hella Jeff will duel for victory.
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.
Game Specific Ruels
QUICKTOPICS
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.
Each member of the Skaians will have his own unique quicktopic.This will be used for all special actions or private moderator questions as needed. Lovers, while they exist, will have a shared quicktopic.
The Midnight Crew, Chaos Faction, and SBHJ faction will each have a joint quicktopic for its members. Whenever a member gains or loses access to the quicktopic (for death and angel related reasons) a new topic will be made.
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. The same is obviously not true in angel chat.
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 15 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 and Chaos Faction will each 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 special kill on this night. In this case, a plurality will determine the killer instead of a majority.
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.
ANGELS
In Dersehunt, Dead player become ANGELS rather than simply leaving the game.
Each night, angels convene and have a shared chat.
During the night, angels select one living player to receive PROTECTION by plurality vote.
During the night, angels select one of their own to SPEAK WITH ARADIA the following day by plurality vote.
During the day, any individual angel may sacrifice himself to eliminate both himself and another angel from all future angel chats.
Members of the Midnight Crew and Chaos Faction who become angels may chat with their living members of their faction DURING THE DAY.
Other Notes
-In the event of a tie on the protection and aradia votes, no one gets protected or gets to chat with her.
-No angel may speak with aradia more than once (unless she is amplified).
-Once seven or fewer players are alive, angel protection has no effect.
-The angel selected to speak with aradia gets a unique quicktopic to share with her for the following day.
-the angel selected to speak with aradia may not be targed by another angel for an angel sacrifice that day.
-There is no angel chat during the day.
-If a MC or Chaos angel is chatting with Aradia, he may NOT speak with his faction during that day.
-In the event of an angel sacrifice, it will not be revealed what angels involved sacrificed themselves and what ones were targeted.
-An angel may NOT sacrifice itself to eliminate the day's lynch victim, but CAN sacrifice itself to take out someone who died in the night before he can join the next night's angel chat.
-Angel death will prevent a MC or Chaos angel from speaking with his faction on all future days.
-Angels may die at the end of night if targeted by Eridan or if Sweet Bro is amplified.
-If an angel dies in the night he will not have an opportunity to speak with Aradia or sacrifice himself the next day.
LOVERS
At the beginning of the game, two random SKAIANS will be LOVERS. Lovers share protection from murders while both live and Nepeta lives, and in turn provide both lynch protection and murder protection to Hearts Boxcars the same way.
If either lover dies, for any reason, the other will commit a LOVERS' SUICIDE and immediately die as well (unless he has Sollux' extra life, in which case it will be consumed).
Lovers share a quicktopic and are always aligned with Skaia.
For balance reasons, the following characters cannot be Lovers: Nepeta, Terezi, White Queen, Ms. Paint.
Characters
Each of Dersehunt 4's 30 characters has something unique to bring to the game in an effort to help his faction win. In addition, each has an AMPLIFICATION that can be activated by Ms. Paint, and each member of the Midnight Crew and Chaos Faction has a unique Special Kill.
Skaians
The innocent faction has had its numbers reduced after their astounding 14/24 survivors in Dersehunt 3. Even with the aid of a voting majority and Ms. Paint, the Kids, Trolls, and Agents of Skaia have their work cut out for them to defeat their opposition.
Ths Skaians hold the majority control over the lynch vote, and win when all other factions have been eliminated from the game.
Ms. Paint
At the end of each day, either by the day's deadline or within 24 hours of an early lynch, Ms. Paint MUST select one player. That player will be AMPLIFIED the following night.
Ms. Paint will additionally make ONE amplification immediately upon her death. Should this happen during the night, the amplification will occur at the start of the following night.
Ms. Paint may NOT amplify any player more than once - once a player has received an amplification, he may not be selected for a future one.
Ms. Paint's amplification is MANDATORY. Should Ms. Paint fail to choose a target an amplification, she will be assumed to amplify herself. If she has already done so, her target will be chosen randomly
Ms. Paint's amplification target is decided in her quicktopic.
AMPLIFICATION - If Ms. Paint amplifies herself, nothing happens. This does prevent the amplification from harming her faction.
---
The Kids
John, Dave, Rose, and Jade are back to provide the skaian faction with sorely needed information - and a little protection as well.
John
Each night, John chooses to check TWO individual living players. He then receives a YES or NO to the question "Are they on the same faction."
*NEW*If John checks two players as the same faction, he will NOT be allowed to make a check on the following night.
John MAY NOT select the same target more than once. He may also not check himself. If there are no longer two available targets for him to check, he may not gain any more information this way.
Note that the Skaians count as one faction, the midnight crew counts as a second faction, the chaos faction counts as a third, and the SBHJ faction as fourth. Proving someone "different" from one of those does NOT confirm that they are innocent. Similarly, just because two players are on the same faction doesn't mean you know what that faction is.
Beware though - Diamonds Droog, if alive, will learn which players were cheked each night, and if he can identify you based on your reactions, you might not live long. Additionally, one bit of your checks may not be accurate - your checks will treat Geromy as a Skaian, and if Diamonds Droog or Clubs Deuce is amplified, they can wreck your reads too.
John gains his information at the beginning of each day.
John's checks are made in his Quicktopic.
AMPLIFICATION - If John is amplified, the next time he receives a SAME result for his check, he will NOT skip his check the following night.
Rose
Each night, Rose chooses to check one individual living player. She then receives a result of GOOD or EVIL.
Skaians are checked as GOOD, but Members of the Midnight Crew, Chaos Faction, and SBHJ faction will appear evil.
Beware though - Diamonds Droog, if alive, will learn which players were checked each night, and if he can identify you based on your reactions, you might not live long. Additionally, one bit of your checks may not be accurate - your checks will treat Geromy as Good, and the amplification of Clubs Deuce or Diamonds Droog can play havoc with your information.
Rose gains her information at the beginning of each day.
Rose's checks are made in her quicktopic.
AMPLIFICATION - If Rose is amplified, her next check that would have shown EVIL now instead tells her EXACTLY what character she checked.
Dave
Dave is uniquely protected in Dersehunt. If the Midnight Crew or Chaos Faction has more than 1 member alive and attempts to murder him, he will be protected from that murder attempt.
However, Dave is still vulnerable to being killed by protection piercing EMPOWERED MURDERS or revenge kills.
Dave is NOT informed when his protection has dropped with regard to either faction's kills.
As Dave's ability is passive, his quicktopic is only for asking the moderator private questions or recording notes.
AMPLIFICATION - If Dave is amplfied, he selects one player. Should that player be the target of a murder that night, that murder will instead be redirected to Dave (and his protection, should it still be active).
Jade
Each night, Jade must select one Skaian. She then receives a YES or NO to the question of "was that character alive at the start of this night"
Jade's check is MANDATORY. Should Jade fail to select a Skaian, a legal option will be randomly chosen for her.
Jade may NOT select herself, a skaian that she has confirmed is dead, or the skaian that she had selected the previous night.
Jade's check has a downside - as long as GEROMY lives, the SBHJ faction will learn the target and result of her check each night.
Jade's target will be selected in her quicktopic.
AMPLIFICATION - If Jade is amplified, she may select one of the characters that she had checked on any previous night. She will learn if THAT character was still alive at the start of this night - and if Geromy is alive, he will NOT share this information.
---
The Trolls
Ten of the 12 trolls from alternia participate in Dersehunt 4 as half of the skaian faction. Gamzee and Eridan instead have joined the Chaos Faction. The trolls need be particularly worried about their wayward juggalo - Gamzee's special kill specifically targets them, allowing him to steal their powers for his own.
Aradia
Each night, the Angels will vote to have one of their members speak to Aradia. She and that angel will have a shared Quicktopic for the next day.
She will have a special moderator-given alias with which she may speak with the dead players.
*NEW* Aradia does not have direct access to any angel chats in this game.
Aradia has to be especially careful of Dark Angels, who wish to obfuscate the truth and use any information that might be given to her to help their own sides. And of course, they want to ID and kill her.
Aradia may be well advised to speak as little as possible, and let her angelic accompalice do the talking.
Aradia's quicktopic is where she will get her alias and daily quicktopic links.
If Gamzee steals Aradia's power, he secretly hijacks her alias and the angels vote selects who talks to HIM instead.
AMPLIFICATION - If Aradia is amplified, she selects one dead player. In addition to whoever the angels select, she will have a second, secret quicktopic between herself and the angel of her choice.
Tavros
At the end of each Day, Tavros learns the character of the day's lynch victim.
Tavros' information comes to him in his quicktopic.
If Gamzee steals Tavros' power, then Gamzee will learn who the lynch victim was each day from that point forward.
AMPLIFICATION - If Tavros is amplified, he selects any dead player. He will immediately learn that player's role.
Sollux
The first time Sollux would die from ANY source, he survives the attempt on his life. This only occurs once, and he cannot survive two simultaneous attempts on his life.
Neither Tavros nor Clubs Deuce will learn Sollux' role when he loses his first life.
Sollux will be informed when he loses his extra life (as opposed to surviving due to something unrelated) in his quicktopic.
If sollux is targeted for two simultaneous kills, his extra life will not save him.
If Gamzee steals Sollux' power, he will survive the first attempt to kill him. Gamzee can only steal this power if he strikes a finishing blow on Sollux, not for removing Sollux' first life.
AMPLIFICATION - If Sollux is amplified, he may PERMANENTLY give his extra life to any living player. That player will be notified. If Sollux has already lost his extra life, this amplification does nothing.
Karkat
Karkat has the ability to sacrifice his own life to take control of a LYNCH vote and be the sole decision maker, targeting the day's lynch at the player of his choosing.
Karkat may PUBLICLY make his decision to activate known, or do so in his quicktopic. If he does so publicly, it is considered night and no one may publicly say anything relevant to the game, pending the result. NO ONE MAY FAKE A KARKAT ACTIVATION, under penalty of a Mod Kill
Karkat may conditionalize his activation, most likely in the case of activating if either he would otherwise be lynched or if the day ends in no-lynch. In these cases, it is done privately in his quicktopic and happens when the moderator notes a condition triggered.
Karkat's activation overrides all votes, including those made by DISTACTED players.
Karkat may use his power either publicly or in his quicktopic, but a public declaration stops the day until the moderator sees it.
If Gamzee steals Karkat's power, then Gamzee may sacrifice himself to commandeer the lynch vote.
AMPLIFICATION - If Karkat is amplified, his power is permanently upgraded - if he sacrifices himself to lynch someone, he gets to do so again should his target survive. He cannot target the same player twice, and can redirect over and over until his lynch successfully goes through.
Nepeta
Each night, while Nepeta lives, the two lovers are protected from attempts to murder them.
Nepeta does not know herself who the lovers are.
If/when Nepeta is killed, this protection is broken, and the lovers will not know when that happens.
Nepeta's effect is passive so her quicktopic is just for private questions, notes, and :33.
*NEW* If Gamzee steals Nepeta's power, he may CHOOSE whether the lovers are protected each night. It is assumed the answer will be "no."
AMPLIFICATION - If Nepeta is amplified, she learns which two players are the lovers.
Kanaya
At the start of the game, Kanaya knows which player is secretly Rose.
Kanaya's information will be revealed to her in her quicktopic at game start. Beyond that her topic is for private questions or recording notes.
If Gamzee steals Kanaya's power, he learns who Rose is or was. Given that he shares knowledge with Eridan and doesn't want Rose revealing information, this is a Very Bad Thing.
AMPLIFICATION - If Kanaya is amplified, Rose has UNPIERCABLE PROTECTION that night.
Terezi
If no lynch is reached at the end of a day, either through a lack of consensus or a 50% NO LYNCH vote, Terezi may make a REVENGE KILL at the end of the day, targeting the player of her choice
Since this revenge kill is not technically a lynch or a murder, no one learns who the victim was, neither Tavros nor Clubs Deuce. Additionally, the lynch protection that Hearts Boxcars and Hella Jeff can have will not defend against it.
Terezi's revenge kill attempts are made privately in her quicktopic.
If Gamzee steals Terezi's power, then Gamzee will be the one wtih control of the revenge kill if the circumstances ever allow one.
AMPLIFICATION - If Terezi is amplified, she may rolecop one player.
Vriska
Upon her death, Vriska may make a REVENGE KILL and bring another player down with her.
Vriska's kill pierces all but unpiercable protection - those granted by a successful Eridan Kill or Hella Jeff with both Sweet Bro and Geromy alive, or certain amplifications.
Vriska is asked to keep a conditional ready for her kill should she die. She may have a complicated conditional set up for different situations, and may be asked to confirm her intention if there is time.
Vriska may opt not to use her power.
Vriska's activation will be public, but will be indistinguishable from other revenge kills.
Vriska's decision will be made in her quicktopic. The decision will be made public when she dies if she chooses to kill someone.
If Gamzee steals Vriska's power, he gains a SECOND revenge kill upon his death.
AMPLIFICATION - If Vriska is amplified, if she dies that night or the following day, she may make up to THREE revenge kills instead of her usual one. She must make her three kills simultaneously.
Equius
At any point while Equius is alive, he may request that the moderator publicly reveal himself and confirm his role. He may only do this once.
Equius may set up a conditional statement to reveal himself in the event of something happening.
Equius may ask for this reveal in his quicktopic, and it will be made (and all lynch votes reset) publicly once the moderator sees it there. As with Karkat, he may make his intention public in the thread, and No one may fake an Equius activation under penalty of modkill
If Gamzee steals Equius' power, he may have the moderator publicly reveal HIM as Equius. BE AFRAID.
AMPLIFICATION - If Equius is amplified, he may make a revenge kill when he publicly reveals himself. If he has already been publicly revealed, this amplification has no effect.
Feferi
If Feferi dies as a result of a LYNCH, the following night every single player will have murder protection.
Feferi's ability does not trigger if killed any other way, or if she survives the attempt to kill her.
As Feferi's ability is passive, her quicktopic is only for asking the moderator private questions or recording notes.
*NEW*If Gamzee steals Feferi's power, he may CHOOSE whether or not everyone is protected the night after his lynch.
AMPLIFICATION - If Feferi is amplified, her protective power triggers for the following night if she dies that night or the following day, no matter what the source of death.
---
The Agents
The kids and trolls are not alone in their quest - agents of Skaia from the kids' universe are standing with them. Their unique powers may be the only thing holding back the reckoning - or worse.
WV
If all 19 other skaians are dead, the Warweary Villein wins the game for the Skaians.
As WV's ability is passive, his quicktopic is only for asking the moderator private questions or recording notes.
AMPLIFICATION - if WV is amplified, he learns if any skaians with ACTIVE roles died the night he was amplified. If any did, he may duplicate their ability once, either on the next day or next night. [ACTIVE ROLES: Ms. Paint, John, Rose, Jade, Karkat, Terezi, Vriska, Equius, PM, AR (though this can never actually be USED)]
PM
At the end of each day, either by the day's deadline or within 24 hours of an early lynch,the Parcel Mistress may select a player. That night, this player may write a note of up to 200 words, to be delivered to the player of his choice. You will deliver the note, and know who the recipient is.
The recipient will neither know who you are nor who the sender is (unless he identifies himself in the message).
You may not choose yourself as the sender, but you may be chosen as the recipient of mail.
*NEW* You may not choose to have either the previous night's sender or recipient send mail, nor do you make any revenge kills if the recipient dies.
One minor bit of solace - The Midnight Crew may NOT use you to send a message to the player who is the target of a Deuce SPECIAL KILL that night. Anyone else could inadvertently send you to your death though.
Your decision on who gets to write a letter is made in your quicktopic.
AMPLIFICATION - If PM is amplified, that night she may read the contents of the message that she sends.
AR
Each night, the Authority Regulator find out if the previous two days ended with the successful lynch of a skaian. If this is indeed the case, Hass is given the opportunity to make a revenge kill.
This ability resets each time AR is given the opportunity, whether he uses it or not. If skaians are lynched on days 1 through 4, AR gains a kill opportunity on nights 2 and 4.
Using this ability does NOT publicly reveal AR.
AR's information and kill if he makes one are decided secretly in his quicktopic.
AMPLIFICATION - if AR is amplified, he may select a player. That player receives protection for the night, or - if he had any form of protection already - loses it for that night. This ability has priority over all forms of protection, including unpiercable.
WQ
If the White Queen would be lynched, she instead ABDICATES. By abdicating, the player leaves the game and does NOT join the angels. However, if the WQ abdicates in this way, a second lynch attempt may be made that day.
Additionally, WQ learns at the start of the game which player is the WK.
WQ DOES NOT join the angels after an abdication, but does if killed by anything other than a lynch.
As WQ's ability is passive, her quicktopic is only for asking the moderator private questions or recording notes.
AMPLIFICATION - If WQ is amplified, the WK has UNPIERCABLE PROTECTION that night.
WK
At gamestart, the White King is informed of which player is secretly WQ.
WK must be careful to keep himself alive as long as possible - his life is the only thing stopping Jack Noir from unleashing THE RECKONING. Should Jack attempt this while WK is alive, it will fail and Jack will be publicly revealed.
WK's information at gamestart appears in his quicktopic.
AMPLIFICATION - If WK is amplified, he may send a single message of up to 200 words to the player of his choice.
Re: Dersehunt 4 (Alternates and watchers welcome, starts June 1st)
The Midnight Crew
The Midnight Crew is back, fresh off of their intermission victory and ready for more. Sure, there's more to deal with now, and they don't have the sacrifice available, but judicious use of unique special kills can get around that obstacle.
Each night, the Midnight Crew may attempt to murder a player of their choosing. Unless a special kill that says otherwise is used, it will be publicly revealed who was targeted if one of these murders fails to kill its target. The Midnight Crew wins when all members of all other factions are dead.
Spades Slick
If the Midnight Crew attempts to murder a player and that player survives, Slick will recieve a yes or a no to the question of "would that player survive the same murder again if it happened during the day today?" Angel protection would be gone, as would an extra life, but other defenisve methods, such as lover protection, or protection provided by a successful obliterate would persist.
Since Spades Slick's ability is passive, he does not have any extra decisions to make in the shared Midnight Crew Quicktopic outside the standard discussion and murder votes.
AMPLIFICATION - If Slick is amplified, he selects a player. If that player survives the night, but dies before Slick does, Slick will make a revenge kill against the player of his choice. By design, this appears no different to a revenge kill made by Vriska or Gamzee.
SPECIAL KILL - If Slick elects to make a special kill, he names his target player and their character. If this is a correct match, they will be targeted with an empowerd murder that can kill even through protection. However, should it NOT match, the target will survive, even if otherwise unprotected.
A FAILED SLICK KILL WILL NOT REVEAL THE TARGETED PLAYER'S SURVIVAL IN THE DAYSTART FLUFF.
SLICK'S SPECIAL KILL CAN BE USED ANY NUMBER OF TIMES.
Diamonds Droog
While alive, At the beginning of each day, Diamonds Droog will learn what players were checkced the previous night.
Diamonds Droog learns ALL targets, from Rose and John, but does not learn which player or character made which checks or gain any information from Jade.
Diamonds Droog will NOT learn if a player is checked by multiple people on the same night.
Since DD's ability is passive, he does not have any extra decisions to make in the shared Midnight Crew Quicktopic outside the standard discussion and murder votes.
AMPLIFICATION - If Droog is amplified, he can have John, Rose, or both receive the opposite result of their nightly check. This has the possibility of causing serious trouble for your enemies, but could potentially be backtracked.
SPECIAL KILL - If Droog elects to make a special kill, he targets a player and learns that player's character. He may then choose to attempt to murder that player or switch to another target, saving him for later.
THE INITIAL TARGET OF DROOG'S KILL WILL NOT BE PUBLICLY REVEALED TO HAVE SURVIVED A KILL ATTEMPT, BUT SHOULD THE FINAL TARGET SURVIVE, HE WILL BE.
DROOG'S SPECIAL KILL MAY ONLY BE USED ONCE PER GAME.
Clubs Deuce
At the beginning of each day, Clubs Deuce learns the characters of all players murdered the previous night, by both the Chaos Faction and the Midnight Crew.
CD's information comes in the Midnight Crew quicktopic at the beginning of the following day, assuming CD is alive.
Since Deuce's ability is passive, he does not have any extra decisions to make in the shared Midnight Crew Quicktopic outside the standard discussion and murder votes.
AMPLIFICATION - If Deuce is amplified, from that night forward, he checks as SKAIAN to Rose and John.
SPECIAL KILL - If Deuce elects to make a Special Kill, he attempts to murder his target with a bomb. This bomb will additionally be treated as a murder attempt targeting any other player who visited his target. [Visiting list: John's check, Rose's check, PM's mail delivery (target chosen by sender, MC cannot send PM to the bomb they deploy that night), AR's revenge kill, Chaos Faction Murders]
ANY SURVIVORS OF THE BOMB'S BLAST IS REVEALED AS SURVIVING A MURDER THAT NIGHT.
DEUCE'S SPECIAL KILL MAY ONLY BE USED ONCE.
Hearts Boxcars
At the beginning of the game, two LOVERS will be chosen. While both are alive, Hearts Boxcars has protection from being LYNCHED and protection from being MURDERED.
Hearts Boxcars learns at the beginning of the game which two players are the lovers. He does not select them.
Since Hearts Boxcar's ability is passive, he does not have any extra decisions to make in the shared Midnight Crew Quicktopic outside the standard discussion and murder votes.
AMPLIFICATION - If Boxcars is amplified, he now wishes to die before any of his fellow crew members. If he is the NEXT member of his faction to die, he may make a revenge kill against the target of his choice upon his death. Additionally, if the lovers are both alive when this occurs, both will suffer revenge kills as well.
SPECIAL KILL - If Boxcars elects to make a special kill, he selects a target as normal. Should that target survive the murder attempt, he may make a second murder attempt against the target of his choosing.
IF EITHER OR BOTH OF BOXCARS' TARGETS SURVIVES, IT WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT DAYSTART.
BOXCARS' SPECIAL KILL MAY BE USED ONLY ONCE.
The Chaos Faction
Jack Noir, Eridan, and Gamzee are back and ready to tear this game apart. Between the reckoning, a protective obliteration kill, and an upgraded power thieving mechanic, they're able to break the game wide open with the right information.
Each night, the Chaos Faction may attempt to murder a player of their choosing. Unless a special kill that says otherwise is used, it will be publicly revealed who was targeted if one of these murders fails to kill its target.
The Chaos Faction wins when all members of all other factions are dead.
Jack Noir
Once per game, during the day you may publicly trigger THE RECKONING. If the White King is dead, you gain unpiercable protection until the end of the following night and are allowed to make up to THREE simultaneous revenge kills. However, if the White King is alive when you attempt to trigger the reckoning, the attempt will fail and you will publicly be revealed to be Jack Noir.
Jack may opt to trigger the reckoning in the Chaos Faction quicktopic, and choose his revenge kill targets there. He does not have to reveal his targets publicly if the white king blocks the reckoning. but he will be revealed publicly if this occurs.
Jack may NOT trigger the reckoning in response to a Karkat activation, but may conditionally trigger to automatically activate it after a special kill that hits Jade.
AMPLIFICATION - If Jack is amplified, he learns whether the White King was alive or dead at the start of the night, and thus if it is safe to attempt the RECKONING.
SPECIAL KILL - If Jack elects to make a special kill, his kill attempt will IGNORE any protection granted by the angels. However, if Jack's special kill targets JADE, it will fail to kill her and publicly reveal which player is Jack at the start of the following day. Note that Feferi's protection is NOT treated as angel protection here.
IF JACK'S TARGET SURVIVES, IT IS REVEALED WITH THE FOLLOWING DAYSTART.
JACK MAY USE HIS SPECIAL KILL UP TO TWO TIMES THROUGHOUT THE GAME.
Eridan
When Eridan successfully uses his specific Chaos Kill, he Gamzee and Jack Noir gain protection the night the kill is used, preventing the Midnight Crew from killing any of them. Additionally, he may select ONE member of his faction to have UNPIERCABLE PROTECTION for that night and the following day.
Note: Eridan is a Troll. As such, Gamzee may special kill him and steal his power. If this is done, Gamzee has the option to use his own special kill or Eridan's, but may not combine them. Eridan's innate advantages only come into play if an Eridan kill is made.
Eridan is has lynch protection for DAY ONE, and day one only.
Eridan's kill and any resulting decisions are made in the Chaos Faction Quicktopic.
AMPLIFICATION - If Eridan is amplified, the next time he makes a special kill, he does NOT need to name his victim's character.
SPECIAL KILL - OBLITERATION - If Eridan elects to make a special kill, he names a player and a character. If they match, they are targeted by an empowered murder which can kill even through protection, and Eridan's innate power will activate. Additionally, whether the special kill succeeds or not, you may ANGEL KILL any dead player of your choosing. Eridan's kill may not be self-targeted.
IF ERIDAN'S KILL ATTEMPT FAILS, IT WILL NOT BE PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED WHO WAS THE TARGET. IF A PLAYER SURVIVES THE KILL ATTEMPT WITH A CORRECT MATCH, THAT PLAYER WILL BE REVEALED TO HAVE SURVIVED.
THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF TIMES ERIDAN MAY USE HIS SPECIAL KILL.
Gamzee
When Gamzee dies, he may make a revenge kill targeting the player of his choice.
Gamzee's revenge kill and use of stolen powers takes place in the Chaos Faction Quicktopic.
AMPLIFICATION - If Gamzee is amplified, if he dies that night or the following day, he may make up to THREE revenge kills instead of his usual one. He must make her three kills simultaneously. Alternatively, if he has stolen any troll's powers, Gamzee may instead use that troll's amplification instead of his own.
SPECIAL KILL - If Gamzee elects to make a special kill, he selects his murder target. If his target is a TROLL, that player, if not protected, dies or loses an extra life. If that player dies, Gamzee steals his or her innate ability to use as his own. If Gamzee's target is NOT a troll or IS protected, no murder attempt is made.
Here is a list of all the powers Gamzee can steal from each character.
Aradia: Angels vote to send someone to speak with Aradia instead goes to Gamzee.
Tavros: Gamzee learns who was lynched the previous day from this point forward
Sollux (Only occurs if Gamzee strikes the finishing blow, killing Sollux): Gamzee gains an extra life.
Karkat: Gamzee may sacrifice himself to commandeer the lynch vote.
Nepeta: Gamzee may opt to protect the lovers (or not to)
Kanaya: Gamzee immediately learns which player is Rose.
Terezi: Gamzee chooses who to execute if the situation comes up.
Vriska: Gamzee gains a SECOND revenge kill upon his death
Equius: Gamzee may have the moderator confirm that he is Equius.
Feferi: If Gamzee is lynched he may opt to have all players receive protection following his lynch (or not).
Eridan: Gamzee may use Eridan's special kill instead of his own, gaining all benefits attached to it if he does so.
IF GAMZEE'S KILL ATTEMPT DOES NOT KILL HIS TARGET, IT WILL NOT BE PUBLICLY REVEALED THAT THEY SURVIVED A KILL. (Sollux' extra life will still be lost).
THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF TIMES GAMZEE MAY USE HIS SPECIAL KILL.
SBHJ Faction
Some might say things went poorly last time. Some might say it wasn't a fair test. Some might complain about a weird stonk. But they're back, stronger than before, and are ready to DISTACT their way to victory. Or stalemate, that works too, since SBHJ wins in the event of a draw situation, a complete wipeout of all living players, or if they hever have 50% of the living players. Because who needs to directly kill when you can just use your opponent's?
Hella Jeff
Once each day, Hella Jeff may name as many players as he chooses, and match each to one character. If every single combination matches, all of them are MATCHED.
Hella Jeff may, in his quicktopic, control the vote of any player he has MATCHED, allowing him to DISTACT the player and change their vote for the day.
If a player that Hella Jeff has MATCHED but has never actually DISTACTED dies, Hella Jeff gets one additional single-target match attempt on the following day.
Hella Jeff starts the game with HIMSELF, SWEET BRO, and GEROMY already MATCHED.
While Geromy and Sweet Bro both live, Hella Jeff has UNPIERCABLE PROTECTION.
While ONE of Geromy and Sweet Bro lives, Hella Jeff has both LYNCH PROTECTION and PROTECTION from standard murders.
Hella Jeff's matching and distactions are done using his quicktopic.
AMPLIFICATION - If Jeff is amplified, on the following day he may attempt to match three players to characters. If any player to character is MATCHED correctly, that player is counted as matched, and can be distacted as normal, even if others were incorrect. This happens in ADDITION to his standard daily match attempt and any bonus match attempts offered by matched players dying.
Distaction explanation:
Every player that Hella Jeff has successfully matched is vulnerable to being DISTACTED.
At any time during the day, Hella Jeff may post in his quicktopic that he wishes to DISTACT any player that he has matched, and change that player's vote to the vote of his choice.
When this is done, the moderator will publicly reveal that the player has been Distacted and that his lynch vote is changed. That player may not alter his lynch vote for the rest of the day.
Hella Jeff may distact any player as many times as he wishes, and on different days. He may distact a player into voting for one player, and then later that day distact that same player again and change his vote.
Each player regains control of his vote at the beginning of the next day, but Hella Jeff can instantly Distact that player and change it if he is still alive. Hella Jeff may pre-emptively distact players for the next day during the night if he chooses.
If at any point Hella Jeff matches half of the game's living players, he essentially has free reign to completely control the lynch vote.
Sweet Bro
Once per game, Sweet Bro may opt to have any lynch victim SURVIVE the lynch attempt.
While Geromy and Sweet Bro both live, Hella Jeff has UNPIERCABLE PROTECTION.
While Sweet Bro lives with Geromy dead, Hella Jeff has both LYNCH PROTECTION and PROTECTION from standard murders.
Sweet Bro's lynch block the day occurs in the SBHJ quicktopic. It is not revealed publicly how the target survived, and Sweet Bro may conditionalize the activation of this power.
AMPLIFICATION - If Sweet Bro is amplified, all current angels are ANGEL KILLED at the end of the night. This will prevent any of them from speaking with Aradia, or from sharing their information or thoughts with future angels. However, they will still protect as normal that night, and it can be assumed that a round of murders and lynchings will have more available to make decisions the following night.
Geromy
Geromy is allied with Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. However, if checked by Rose or John, he appears as if he is a Skaian, and detects GOOD to Rose.
While Geromy lives, he will provide his faction with the TARGET and RESULT of the JADE CHECK each night.
While Geromy and Sweet Bro both live, Hella Jeff has UNPIERCABLE PROTECTION.
While Geromy lives, Hella Jeff has both LYNCH PROTECTION and PROTECTION from standard murders.
Geromy has no special actions in the SBHJ quicktopic.
AMPLIFICATION - If Geromy is amplified, he selects a player. Any attempt to kill Geromy that night will instead target the selected player.
Glossary
First is a list of common terms for DH4.
Lynch
Each day, everyone who is currently alive votes and may lynch one of them. That player will die unless they have lynch protection.
If Karkat uses his sacrifice ability, he will make the only relevant lynch vote.
A player with lynch protection or unpiercable protection will survive a lynch.
Sollux extra life will be lost instead of its holder dying if he is lynched.
Sweet Bro can make any player survive a lynch, once.
If a lynch victim dies, Tavros will learn who it was.
Revenge Kill
If the proper conditions are met, certain characters may make a revenge kill.
If two innocents are lynched in a row, AR has the option of making a revenge kill the following night.
If Vriska dies, she has the option of making a revenge kill immediately.
If Gamzee dies, he has the option of making a revenge kill immediately.
Several amplifications have revenge kills associated with them.
A revenge kill will fail if it targets someone with unpiercable protection.
Sollux will survive a revenge kill if he has not lost his extra life.
No one learns who the target of a successful revenge kill was.
Murder
Each night, the Midnight Crew and Chaos Faction each choose to murder a target. Unless it specifically says otherwise, a special kill is treated as a regular murder.
A murder will fail to kill a target who has protection or unpiercable protection.
Sollux will survive a murder attempt if he has not lost his extra life.
Clubs Deuce learns who the target of a successful murder was.
Empowered Murder
An empowered murder is a murder that pierces standard protection.
If Spades Slick makes a successful match, her special kill is an EMPOWERED murder.
Eridan's Chaos Kill, if he successfully matches the player to their character, is an EMPOWERED murder.
The only protection that works agains an empowered murder is Unpiercable protection.
Sollux will survive an empowered murder if he has not yet lost his extra life.
Clubs Deuce learns who the target of a successful empowered murder was.
This card will not be shown in game - it will not be revealed publicly that any individual murder was empowered.
Lynch Protection
Lynch protection will prevent the death of a player due to lynch. It will NOT stop any other type of kill.
Hearts Boxcars has Lynch Protection at all times while both lovers are alive.
Hella Jeff has Lynch Protection as long as one of Sweet Bro and Geromy are alive.
This card will not be shown in game - only the survival card will be shown upon a player surviving an attempt on their life.
Protection (Murder protection)
Protection comes from many sources. But the end result is the same. Protection will prevent a player from dying to a murder, and unless the murder attempt was a Special kill that says otherwise, will publicly reveal that the target was attacked and survived the following day.
While there are 8 or more players alive, each night the angels vote to protect one player.
Dave has protection from murders by a faction that is not down to its last member.
While Nepeta is alive, both lovers have protection.
While the lovers live, Hearts Boxcars has protection.
The night after Feferi is lynched, every player has protection.
If Eridan makes a successful Chaos Kill, he Gamzee and Jack Noir gain protection.
While one of Sweet Bro and Geromy live, Hella Jeff has protection.
If AR is amped, his target is receives protection if it did not already have protection or unpiercable protection. If his target was protected in this way, it will not be.
This card will not be shown in game - only the survival card will be shown upon a player surviving an attempt on their life.
Unpiercable Protection
A player who has unpiercable protection will not die from any source while it is up.
Eridan selects one member of his faction to gain unpiercable protection the Night he makes a successful Eridan Chaos Kill.
Hella Jeff has unpiercable protection as long as both Sweet Bro and Geromy are alive.
Kanaya and the White Queen grant unpiercable protection to specific players the night they are amplified.
If AR is amplified, and he targets someone with unpiercable protection, they lose it and become vulnerable for that night.
This card will not be shown in game - only the survival card will be shown upon a player surviving an attempt on their life.
---
Public cards that may occur as the game happens.
The Reckoning
Once per game, at any point during the day, Jack Noir may trigger THE RECKONING. In this event, Jack is publicly revealed. If the White King is dead, Jack becomes invulnerable for the day and the following night, and gets to make 3 revenge kills against players of his choice. If the White King is alive, Jack is publicly revealed, gains no protection, and gets no kills. Successful or not, a reckoning attempt will reset the lynch vote for the day. The reckoning may be reactively triggered in response to anything but a Karkat activation.
Abdication
If the White Queen would have been lynched, she instead Abdicates. She leaves the game and does not become an angel. The lynch DOES NOT COUNT, and a new lynch can be made that day. And abdication will reset the lynch vote for the day.
Jack Noir Public Reveal
If Jack Noir attempts to murder Jade with his special kill, he not only fails to make the kill, but also reveals himself publicly in the process.
This ONLY triggers if Jack attempts to use his special kill (ignore angel protection) and targets Jade.
Equius Public Reveal
Equius may ask the moderator to publicly confirm that he is Equius. An Equius reveal will reset the day's lynch vote.
Karkat Lynch Activation
This is triggered if Karkat has chosen to sacrifice himself to control the lynch vote for the day.
Lovers' Suicide
If one lover dies from any source, the other will commit suicide in response. Only Sollux' extra life could allow someone to survive this.
If a lover SURVIVES a suicide the protection provided by Nepeta goes away, if it existed.
Distaction
If a player is distacted, he may no longer control his lynch vote for that day.
Hella Jeff may continue to distact a player to move his vote.
The player regains his vote the next day, at least until Hella Jeff distacts him again.
Survival
A player has survived an attempt on his life. There are four ways this could have happened.
The player could have been sollux with an extra life.
The player could have had protection from some source if the kill attempt was a murder.
The player could have had lynch protection from some source if he survived a lynch.
If the player had unpiercable protection, it would have blocked any kill attempt.
Other Questions
*NEW*Q: If a player with an information role dies, do they get their information that night as an angel
A: NO. This is different from DH3, information roles will not gain extra information on the night they die.
Q: What is the priority for night kills and such?
A: Things resolve simultaneously, then effects triggered by previous things (such as a vriska revenge kill or lover suicide) happen afterwards. If any player gets a positive effect as part of a kill that is made, the priority works in his favor.
Q: Will there be a situation where getting modkilled helps my faction?
A: No. The moderator will either replace you or, if he is to modkill you, will make sure that its a net negative for your side.
Q: When is the game going to start?
A: June 1st, one year after Dersehunt 3.
Q: Is the moderator insane for running a game this complicated?
A: Yes. Hell yes. Hell. Fucking. Yes.
Q: What should I do if I'm confused about interactions of different rules?
A: Ask questions in the thread here. Once the game starts, asking privately in your quicktopic is an option too, especially if you're worried about a question hinting your character.
Q: Will characters on cards such as murder or revenge kill be indicative of who made such a kill?
A: No. A "Revenge Kill" card featuring Kanaya may be used for any revenge kill. Different variations on such cards are just to avoid using the same exact thing every time.
Q: If mail is delivered to me but I died that night, do I still get to read it before going to deadchat?
A: No. If you die, you cannot receive mail.
Q: When Eridan kills an angel, is he told the names of people who are going to die that night so he can angel kill them, or does it have to be someone who died in a previous phase?
A: Eridan may only kill an angel who was dead going into that night phase.
Q: Can Karkat sacrifice to control a lynch even if he is DISTACTED?
A: Yes. Karkat's ability overrides all lynch votes.
Q: If Nepeta is killed, can the lovers be killed in the same phase or only starting next phase?
A: The lovers will have PROTECTION at the same time Nepeta is killed, so if nepeta is murdered the same time one of them is targeted for a murder they will be protected. Note that this protection does nothing with regard to revenge kills that may occur simultaneously or afterward.
Q: If Gamzee steals an on-death power, does the original owner still use it?
A: Yes. If Gamzee steals such a power, the owner still uses it too.
Q: If Gamzee steals an on-death power and dies that night, can he still use it?
A: Yes. If Gamzee dies at the same time he steals one of these powers, it immedately works for him.
Q: If an amplified Vriska targets Geromy, Hella Jeff, and Sweet Bro, what happens?
A: Vriska's kill will bounce off of Hella Jeff since he has unpiercable protection (the other two live). However, Geromy and Sweet Bro will die, leaving Hella Jeff vulnerable from then on, and he will have been publicly proven to have survived a revenge kill.
Q: If Sollux gives Karkat his extra life, can Karkat survive his own activation?
A: Yes, if Karkat suicides with the extra life, he will survive and consume the extra life.
Important Links
Once the game starts, links to each day start, night start, and moderator events will be listed here.
Re: Dersehunt 4 (Alternates and watchers welcome, starts June 1st)
DERSEHUNT SQUARES
So yes, the signups were done pregame this time. But that doesn't mean there's nothing for the rest of you to do.
This is probabaly a horrible, broken idea, but its something that others may find entertaining.
There's going to be a small contest for non-participants watching the game to make predictions about what's going to happen, and guesses following along with the game, using the following system.
Each square is filled in by having a correct prediction. 5 bonus points are awarded for filling in a row, column, or diagonal.
Squares 1-16: Each player makes a prediction about something that will happen in the game. If you are correct, your square gets filled in. Point values for each prediction will be made based on the judgement of Solaris and x1372. Obvious guesses such as "a skaian will be lynched" will be valued very low, while "karkat will activate his power and suicide into Hearts Boxcars without killing him on day 2," by comparison, would be worth an incredible amount.
Squares 17-24 will be scored based on mini-games played by observers as the game goes on.
Square 25 is a freebie: x will cry.
Anyone interested, please PM x1372 or Solaris your entry and predictions for squares 1-16, preferably by game start.
Mini-games
Everyone who's in by game start will receive a quicktopic in which to put their guesses for the following mini-games as part of their scorecard. Night ones must be turned in by the end of night, Day ones must be completed within 24 hours of daystart, and event driven ones are to be done within 48 hours of the event in question.
Square 17 - Hiding in Plain Sight - NIGHT - Each game night, select a player to hide behind. If that player dies in the night, you're out. 1 point per night survived, 2 points per night after night 5.
Counts as "filled" with 5 points.
Square 18 - Corpse Pile -NIGHT - Each night, list the players killed the previous night/day and guess their roles. 1 point for each correct, 2 points for each correct if the player had NOT claimed anything to do wtih that role (at moderator discretion).
Counts as "filled" with 5 points.
Square 19 - Head Count - DAY - At the start of each game day, select a number of players who will be alive at the start of the next game day. 1 point if correct guessing 2 or 3 less than currently alive, 3 points if correct guessing any other number.
Counts as "filled" wtih 5 points.
Square 20 - Name that tune - NIGHT - Once per day/night cycle, select a song either from homestuck's official library or the multitude of fan songs out there. If its used for the next (or a future) daystart, you get 5 points.
Counts as "filled" if a song you recommended is used, thus getting you 5 points.
Square 21- Replacement Train - DAY - At the start of each game day, select a number of players who will be replaced by the start of the next day. Possible score is the number you guess. 2 points for a successful "0" on the first 4 days, 1 point for a "0" on days 5+. On any day, you may go "double or nothing " and claim that one of the replacements will be sollux, but if you do you will not learn if you were correct until game end.
Counts as "filled" with 5 points.
Square 22 - Revenge What? - EVENT - Whenver a revenge kill occurs, guess the source. Three points per correct guess.
Counts as "filled" with 5 or more points
Square 23 - Three Votes Shy - DAY - Each day there usually will be at least one wagon on which the target does not get lynched. For the first 5 days, guess how many votes (including deadline votes) the day's second closest lynchee will have at the closest point to their lynch. 4 points for a perfect guess, 2 points for 1 off, 1 point for 2 off.
Counts as "filled" with 5 or more points.
Square 24 - Not Quite Dead - EVENT - Whenever a player SURVIVES an attempt on his life, guess WHY he survived (if protection of some sort, the source). Three points per correct guess.
Counts as "filled" with 5 or more points.
There has been talk of a seperate mafia game to be played with powers granted by how well you did here... time, and the number of participants, will tell.

Re: Dersehunt 4 (Alternates and watchers welcome, starts June 1st)
Yes, I am still doing this, just as surely as I am writing a* song for it. Here's hoping that I will (or will not) be Mr. Kar Kitty again. (Note: That's a guarantee)* At least one

17:45 Eidolonic It's not that I don't trust you, Tea, it's just
17:45 Deceptive you don't trust tea with your mental health?
17:45 Eidolonic Would you?

The first time Sollux would die from ANY source, he survives the attempt on his life. This only occurs once, and he cannot survive two simultaneous attempts on his life.
what decides which faction receives the kill? (ie, Gamzee)
E: ..to be fair i shoulda edited this into the previous post...too many mafias makes the never-edit habit hard to break
Each night, the Authority Regulator find out if the previous two days ended with the successful lynch of a skaian. If this is indeed the case, Hass is given the opportunity to make a revenge kill.
Hass? :P
AMPLIFICATION - If Gamzee is amplified, if he dies that night or the following day, he may make up to THREE revenge kills instead of his usual one. He must make her three kills simultaneously. Alternatively, if he has stolen any troll's powers, Gamzee may instead use that troll's amplification instead of his own.
His*

Though if that means I cant play shenigans bingo, I might drop out.

23:04 x1372 first thing I'd see is another version of myself jumping for the kernelsprite
23:04 x1372 only to get tackled out of the way by another version of me and both fall off a cliff to their deaths
23:04 x1372 and I'd be like "FUCK I'm the something of time aren't I?"
x1372 I just was catching up on the image manip thread and decided to share just a taste of the suffering

Re: Dersehunt 4 (Alternates and watchers welcome, starts June 1st)
Some more rulesfixthings x: under the listing for Unpierceable protection you say "Eridan gains unpiercable protection the Night he makes a successful Eridan Chaos Kill" but you've changed it in this rule-set to a member of Eridan's choosing.
Under the FAQ you've got "Q: If mail is delivered to me but I died that night, do I still get to read it before going to deadchat?
A: No. If you die, you cannot receive mail. And PM doesn't like that." when PM doesn't kill for not being able to deliver mail anymore.
Re: Dersehunt 4 (Alternates and watchers welcome, starts June 1st)
I am so excited.
Your chumhandle is curiousCat and you are never, ever sarcastic.
seedy: spidercat, spidercat / where the hell is she at / lurking hard, lots of fluff / just grins when you give her guff / watch ouuuuuut when she gets power roles
[17:59] <@Sotek> sounds good. cat is a bitch to lynch anyway
[17:59] <@Sotek> she does her little cat dance and everyone gets distracted
StiqFigurMaster: Nothing personal cat, but I'm always okay with lynching cat, she's like a ball of indistinguishable meta of pain and misery
Eidolonic: she wants to be the very best / like no one ever was / to unnerve us is her real test / to be unreadable is her cause
Sruixan: if Cat can just keep herself alive (and given how it's Cat we're talking about here I'm sure we'll be fine)
Gloomy: I swear, Cat. The ONE time I give you leeway, you are actually full on scum. >.>
Acio: ┻━┻ ︵ ¯\(ツ)/¯ ︵ ┻━┻: (1) (Curiouscat)
Deceptive: Giving Cat something is a gamble. I have full faith that she will use it very well. I just have no idea if she is actually town or scum.
