You're in a dark space. You don't know how you got here, but you know you're not alone. You can hear muffled, guttural noises from a few feet in front of you. You can sense what feels like dry, cold sand falling out from under your feet, but you never seem to move. You can hear the noises before you grow louder for a second, then stop with a thud.
The lights turn on.
After your eyes adjust, you see that the light is emanating from what appears to be a generator in the middle of the room. And slumped against the machine is a body; although it is clearly male, you have trouble discerning the species. It has the head of a feline, the torso of a human and the tail of a serpent. You notice that, stapled to the creature's torso, a note lies waiting. Through the fresh blood you manage to pick out the letters,

Spoiler: Basic Rules
General Rules:
1. Site Rules apply.
2. You may quote your role PM, but you may not quote any other PMs from me, nor may you quote the time at which I sent you any PM.
3. Indigo is the colour I'll use to post vote counts, edit things into other people's posts, etc. Do not impersonate me.
4. If you have a question or concern, or if you think that I may have made an error, do not hesitate to ask in-topic or by pm. Be sure to bold requests directed at me so that I see them.

Voting, Lynching, and Deadlines:
5. Votes must be bolded. You may unvote by typing
Unvote
. Some mods require you to unvote before changing your vote; I do not.
6. Once a lynching majority has been reached, the game will go into twilight. Twilight will last for 24 hours from the hammer vote. During this time, you may continue to post, and you may send in night actions. If you have access to a night-only private topic, you may use it during twilight. At the end of twilight, the game will enter the night phase.
7. You may also vote for no lynch to happen on that day by typing
Vote: No lynch
. A no-lynch only requires a 50% vote to go through.
8. In this game, you will have a 3000 hour (125 day) deadline. This is the amount of daylight you have. If this timer runs out, the game will proceed into consecutive night phases until a winner emerges.

Night Phase and Actions:
9. The night phase will last for 24 hours from the end of the twilight phase. During this time, the thread will be locked.
10. You may not use an ability on yourself unless otherwise specified.
11. If a limited-shot ability fails, the shot is still used.

Prodding and Stuff:
12. If a player fails to post for 48 consecutive hours, he will be prodded. If that player does not post for another 48 hours after he's been prodded, he'll be replaced.
13. If you are going away, or if you have limited access to the site, notify me by pm or in-topic so that I know not to prod or replace you. If you're going to be V/LA over the night phase and have a night action, you may send in your action early. The maximum amount of time you may go without posting due to V/LA is 120 hours (five days).


Spoiler: Upick Blurb
Abnormality: How closely your role follows the Normal Game Guidelines.

This influences the type of role you may receive, but not its power. ZERO abnormality will give you a Normal role with no modifiers, FIVE abnormality will give you a role with a mixture of Normal and non-Normal elements, and TEN abnormality will give you a non-Normal role with one or more non-Normal modifiers. Unlike Swinginess, your chosen abnormality rating will affect only your own role.

Swinginess: How much of an impact power roles have on the game.

This influences how powerful your role may be, but not how normal it is. A game with ZERO swinginess will focus mainly on voting and lynching, a game with FIVE swinginess will include roles that may significantly alter the game's course, and a game with TEN swinginess has the potential to end on night one. Unlike Abnormality, all players' swinginess ratings are averaged to give a single rating that is used for every player in the game.

Role: Who or what you want to play as this game.

Pick a name for your role, and I will try to give you abilities that fit with the flavour. Keep in mind that if I am not familiar with your submission, the amount of detail I put into your role will be directly influenced by how much information about it I can find online. Alignments are distributed randomly and are not affected by your choice in role name.


Spoiler: Setup Promises
1. At the start of the game, the only win condition present will be: "You win when your team is the only team remaining."
2. You will never lose your original win condition, but you may gain additional win conditions as the game progresses.
3. The only accounts playing are the ones listed as players in the first post. I am not a player!
4. Treestumps may not take any day, night or twilight actions.

I've started working on the setup now.
Reading the rules in the post above is greatly encouraged! Take a look at rules 2, 6, 8 & 11 in particular, as they are pretty important for this game!
EDIT: Rule 8 has been
amended
nerfed, you will no longer receive extra time on achieving a lynch.

As you look around, you notice that you're not alone. There are twelve others here, all looking as dazed and confused as you surely do. Just as you're about to say something, a soft, disembodied voice says, "Welcome. As you can see by the remains before you, there exist some frustrated individuals among your numbers. I challenge you to uncover these villains before they uncover your weak points... and attack them for massive damage. If you fail to rise to the challenge, you will die. I expect you know what to do. You have 3000 hours. Hurry."
