    -randomness in player role/

    alignment generation, direct moderator influence during the game? (Yes/No)
    - Underlined are possible. Detailed in Spoiler below. I will answer questions about what is possible but not how it could be implemented in the game.

Spoiler: Here's what you know

1. There are five group-scum in the game. They are known as the Enemies of Justice.
   
2. Scum have daytalk and multi-task.
   
3. Scum cannot assign their roles.
   
4. Third parties may or may not be present.
   
5. There is one player who is investigation immune and is unaware of it. All investigations on that player that succeed will come back as "The Unknown", even if a player name is not a valid feedback for the investigation or if the player is not normally an eligible target. (Ex: An investigative result that would come back with a yes/no result would get "The Unknown" instead.)
   
6. The identity of The Unknown may change throughout the game with no choice of The Unknowns past, present or future.
   
7. There is one explicitly random element in the game. Any action is not impacted by this "randomness" in any way unless warned of the possibility of such either by this post or in their role PM.
   
8. No roles have "sanities" such as paranoid, insane, etc.
   
9. No Godparents or the like exist aside from The Unknown.
   
10. The Moderator hates town winning by night play, so you expect some misleading results that are not moderator lies. This includes guilty or innocents that change or are misleading.
    
11. Alignment changes are not possible unless explicitly mentioned in your PM. There is no cult or anything like it.
    
12. Alignment changes that do not violate the above are possible.
    
13. You can rely on anything the moderator says to be true at the point in time that I say it.
    
14. There are no other bastard elements other than what is described here.
    
15. You may ask
    privately
    if something is bastard and out of bounds. I will answer privately. If I feel it is necessary to announce, I will.
    
16. I will not likely announce unless it gets asked multiple times or its an oversight to be included here.
    
17. The goal of this setup is novel fun.
    
18. This setup is swingy and impossible to test perfectly for balance. You've been warned.

[/list]

Please do not enter my game into signups until December unless I bold here stating otherwise. I expect to be in trial during November and passing on duties to Morning Tweet is unfair.

(Yes/No)
    - Yes. There are minor elements of randomness as well as deception in the form of going back on previously stated information. However, there are no ridiculous moderator lies, mid-game alignment changes, cults, secret wincons, or direct moderator influence.
