The Roles for the Game

Villager Side

Booker - The player assigned this role is able to each day choose any player in the game that they want to investigate and learn what that person's role is. It is up to them to decide what they want to do with and handle the info they receive. However, not every role will be revealed to them. If Booker investigates a player with the role of either Tom Nook, Crazy Redd or Tortimer, he will receive an answer of Villager as that person's role even though it isn't. Booker needs to pay more attention. Hence, why caution is needed with the role. On the plus side, if Booker is investigated by either the Lyle or Katrina role, the investigation result will come back as villager to protect him from their investigations.

Dr. Shrunk - The player assigned this role is able to each day choose any player in the game that they want to protect and keep from harm. This means that the player who is protected can not be killed during the night action phase no matter who might attack that player. However, if Dr. Shrunk gets voted out in the day's vote, he is considered dead and since he is not alive in the night, he can not protect any player during that night's actions. If Dr. Shrunk is killed in a night action, his protection will still carry through that night. Dr. Shrunk can not protect himself.

Phineas - The player assigned this role is able to each day choose any player in the game that they want to eliminate from the game. However, there is a requirement to the choice. The player can only eliminate a person with a mafia role or other role like Cube or Tortimer. If the player targets and eliminates another player with a villager role, than they will both die and be eliminated from the game. The player with this role does not have to choose a target each day if they do not want to. However, hits do not accumulate. So, if Phineas chooses no target for Day 1, he is only allowed to choose 1 target again for Day 2. He can not target two players. Phineas is the only player who can successfully eliminate Cube and Cube's Apprentice from the game and not get blown up with them.

Mable - The person with this role also knows the identity of the player with the Sable role. Unlike the rest of the villagers, they are the only ones to start off knowing who another villager is because of this ability. However, that knowledge comes with a price. If Sable is eliminated from the game either by the vote or night action, then Mable is also eliminated from the game. However, Mable can then choose one other player to eliminate from the game with her as revenge for her sister's death.

Sable - Same as Mable. The person with this role also knows the identity of the player with the Mable role. Unlike the rest of the villagers, they are the only ones to start off knowing who another villager is because of this ability. However, that knowledge comes with a price. If Mable is eliminated from the game either by the vote or night action, then Sable is also eliminated from the game. However, Sable can then choose one other player to eliminate from the game with her as revenge for her sister's death.

Blathers - Each night, the player with this role is given a list of the night actions that will occur. This player is then allowed the opportunity to prevent any night action of their choosing. But they are only allowed to do this twice over the course of the game so choose wisely.

Villager - A player with this role is on the Villager side and looking to eliminate all non villager players. The only ability they have is being able to cast a vote each day and posting and talking with the other players. Their strength is in their numbers as there are 10 players with this role.

Mafia Roles

Crooked Cranny 'Coons

Tom Nook - The player with this role is able to choose any player in the game and target them for elimination. He is the godfather of the mafia. He can consult with his mafia about the choice but he is the one that has to send it in and make it. If he does not send in a hit, no one else in the mafia can and the mafia does not get to eliminate anyone that day. Moreover, hits do not accumulate. If Tom Nook does not eliminate a player on Day 1, he is still only allowed once choice on Day 3 and not 2 choices. Since there is another mafia, the C.C.C. mafia can only make hits on odd days. Day 1, Day 3, Day 5 etc. unless the other mafia is eliminated. If that happens, they can make a hit every night. If Tom Nook is voted out in the day's vote, any hit he sends out for that night will not succeed. He is considered dead and since he is not alive in the night, he can not attack any player during that night's actions. If Tom Nook is killed in a night action, his attack will still be carried out that night.


Lyle - The player with this role is part of the 'Coon Mafia. The player assigned this role is able to choose any player in the game that they want to investigate and learn what that person's role is. But he can only use it on even days. Day 2, Day 4, Day 6, etc unless the other mafia is eliminated from the game. The player with this role can consult with his other mafia members about who he may choose to investigate but he is the one that has to send it in and make the choice. If he does not send in an investigation, no one else in the mafia can and the mafia does not get to investigate anyone that day. Moreover, investigations do not accumulate. If Lyle does not investigate a player on Day 2, he is still only allowed one choice on Day 4 and not 2 choices. Also, not every role will be revealed to them. If Lyle investigates a player with the role of either Booker, Crazy Redd or Tortimer, he will receive an answer of Villager as that person's role even though it isn't.

Timmy Nook - He is a member of the 'Coon Mafia. He has no powers.

Tommy Nook - He is a member of the 'Coon Mafia. He has no powers.

Leif - He is a member of the 'Coon Mafia. He has no powers.

General Info about the 'Coon Mafia:

All 'Coon Mafia members know who each other are when the game begins.

If Tom Nook is killed, one of the remaining 'Coon members will be given the power to make the mafia hit for their assigned days. However, they do not gain the ability to appear as a villager if investigated like Tom Nook. If the new player with the hit ability is voted out, like Tom Nook, their hit would not go through that night. If killed in the night, it will still be carried out. The new godfather is the one who must send in the hit for the 'Coon alliance like Tom Nook. 'Coon mafia members can all participate and vote every day. It is only the players with abilities that have assigned days they can carry out those abilities.

If the Fox mafia is eliminated, then the 'Coon mafia has to make a choice. Will they do an investigation that day or perform a hit that day. They can only do one of those actions per day. The acting godfather is the one to decide which action they will perform. If Lyle is killed, no one else in the mafia inherits the investigation ability and they can only perfom hits from there on.



Black Market Foxes

Crazy Redd - The player with this role is able to choose any player in the game and target them for elimination. He is the godfather of the mafia. He can consult with his mafia about the choice but he is the one that has to send it in and make it. If he does not send in a hit, no one else in the mafia can and the mafia does not get to eliminate anyone that day. Moreover, hits do not accumulate. If Crazy Redd does not eliminate a player on Day 2, he is still only allowed once choice on Day 4 and not 2 choices. Since there is another mafia, the B.M.F. mafia can only make hits on even days. Day 2, Day 4, Day 6 etc. unless the other mafia is eliminated. If that happens, they can make a hit every night. If Crazy Redd is voted out in the day's vote, any hit he sends out for that night will not succeed. He is considered dead and since he is not alive in the night, he can not attack any player during that night's actions. If Crazy Redd is killed in a night action, his attack will still be carried out that night.


Katrina - The player with this role is part of the Fox Mafia. The player assigned this role is able to choose any player in the game that they want to investigate and learn what that person's role is. But she can only use it on odd days. Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, etc unless the other mafia is eliminated from the game. The player with this role can consult with his other mafia members about who she may choose to investigate but she is the one that has to send it in and make the choice. If she does not send in an investigation, no one else in the mafia can and the mafia does not get to investigate anyone that day. Moreover, investigations do not accumulate. If Katrina does not investigate a player on Day 1, she is still only allowed one choice on Day 3 and not 2 choices. Also, not every role will be revealed to them. If Katrina investigates a player with the role of either Booker, Tom Nook or Tortimer, she will receive an answer of Villager as that person's role even though it isn't.

Saharah - He is a member of the Fox Mafia. He has no powers.

Joan - She is a member of the Fox Mafia. She has no powers.

Grams - She is a member of the Fox Mafia. She has no powers.

General Info about the Fox Mafia:

All Fox Mafia members know who each other are when the game begins.

If Crazy Redd is killed, one of the remaining Fox members will be given the power to make the mafia hit for their assigned days. However, they do not gain the ability to appear as a villager if investigated like Crazy Redd. If the new player with the hit ability is voted out, like Crazy Redd, their hit would not go through that night. If killed in the night, it will still be carried out. The new godfather is the one who must send in the hit for the Fox alliance like Crazy Redd. Fox mafia members can all participate and vote every day. It is only the players with abilities that have assigned days they can carry out those abilities.

If the 'Coon mafia is eliminated, then the Fox mafia has to make a choice. Will they do an investigation that day or perform a hit that day. They can only do one of those actions per day. The acting godfather is the one to decide which action they will perform. If Katrina is killed, no one else in the mafia inherits the investigation ability and they can only perfom hits from there on.


Other Roles

Tortimer - The player with this role has the ability to target each day any player of his choice to eliminate from the game.The player with this role is looking to be the last man standing and wants to eliminate every other player from the game. If the player with this role fails to send in a hit one day, it will not carry over to the next day. So, if he does not eliminate anyone on Day 1, he cannot eliminate 2 people on Day 2. He is only allowed the oppurtunity to eliminate 1 player each day. His role will be revealed as villager to anyone who may investigate him.
 
Cube the Suicidal Penguin - Upset over the sales of his favorite gaming system and at the terrible conditions of the village he is in, Cube doesn't see much point in living but wants to make people pay. Therefore, he has armed himself with explosives to ensure fiery destruction may reign down on Shangri-La. The player with this role is looking to eliminate all other players from the game except for Cube's Apprentice. Cube and his Apprentice know who each other are and can work together. Cube can do the following:
- He could choose 2 other players to blow up and he dies with them
- If voted out, Cube dies and blows up all the players who voted him out
- If Cube is the target of a hit, he dies and blows up the person who targetted him.
The only person who can successfully attack Cube and live is Phineas.
 
Cube's Apprentice - This player sympathizes with Cube and has joined his crusade. Like Cube he wants to eliminate all other players except for Cube. He also knows the identity of Cube and can work with them. However, since he is an apprentice, he is still learning to make bombs. Therefore, if he is killed before Cube, he can not blow anyone up with him. If Cube is eliminated first, then the student will become the master and Cube's Apprentice will have the same ability as Cube allowing him to blow up people who attack him or who he wishes to attack. In such a situation, only Phineas can successfully take out Cube's Apprentice and live.
 
Blanca - The player with this role has no affiliation. They are a blank slate. The player with this ability must target another player in this game to eliminate and will then take on their role. So, if the Blanca player choose a player with the role of Tom Nook, the Tom Nook player would be eliminated and the Blanca player would assume the Tom Nook role and identity. Blanca can take anyone's identity without any consequence even Cube's since Blanca will then just become that person. However, Blanca must use her role at some point to claim victory. If a certain group can meet a win condition before Blanca has used her role, she will lose even if she could use it to join that group.

[Khushrenada]

All the info you wanted to know about Mafia but were afraid to ask.
 
What is the purpose of the game?
 
To eliminate opposing players against your team.

How do I win?

The win conditions for a player depends on what their role is.

If a player is a villager or has a villager role like Booker, Phineas etc, then all Mafia roles must be eliminated along with the Tortimer, Cube and Cube's Apprentice roles. The Blanca character can still be alive if she hasn't chosen a side as she will count as nothing. Once those opposing players are out of the game, the remaining villager players are declared the winners.

If a player has a 'Coon mafia role, then all Fox Mafia roles must be eliminated along with the Tortimer, Cube and Cube's Apprentice roles. The Blanca character can still be alive if she hasn't chosen a side as she will count as nothing. Once those roles are eliminated the 'Coon mafia just has to equal or surpass the number of villagers still left in the game to win. So, if there were 6 villagers and 5 'Coon players, the mafia still does not have a numbers advantage and the game goes on. If there are 5 'Coon players and 5 or less villagers, then the game is over and the mafia wins.

If a player has a Fox mafia role, then all 'Coon Mafia roles must be eliminated along with the Tortimer, Cube and Cube's Apprentice roles. The Blanca character can still be alive if she hasn't chosen a side as she will count as nothing. Once those roles are eliminated the Fox mafia just has to equal or surpass the number of villagers still left in the game to win. So, if there were 6 villagers and 5 Fox players, the mafia still does not have a numbers advantage and the game goes on. If there are 5 Fox players and 5 or less villagers, then the game is over and the mafia wins.

If a player has the Tortimer role, then all villager and mafia roles must be eliminated along with the Cube and Cube's Apprentice roles. The Blanca character can still be alive if she hasn't chosen a side as she will count as nothing. Tortimer must be the only player alive on the last day or it can be Tortimer and 1 Villager in which case the tie goes to Tortimer.

If a player has the Cube or Cube's Apprentice role, then all villager and mafia roles must be eliminated along with Tortimer. The Blanca character can still be alive if she hasn't chosen a side as she will count as nothing. Cube or Cube's Apprentice must either be alive on the last day or can be in a tie situation with any type of player to win or blow-up the last remaining players along with them to win. I'm not going to worry about outlining every possible outcome here.

If a player has the Blanca role, they have no win condition. They are a blank slate. Only be taking out another player and inheriting that player's role and win condition does the Blanca player than have an opportunity to win the game. If one of the teams mentioned above achieves a win condition before Blanca takes on someone's role, that team will win as the Blanca player will not factor in preventing it.

How does the game work?

Every day, a new thread will be created for all players to communicate with one another to post whatever they want regarding the game and to vote for which ever player they wish to target. Players are allowed to change their votes at any time until the thread is locked for the end of the day. Some players have special roles giving them an ability to do more besides just vote and post. Most of those abilities are used during what is called the nighttime phase when they will be carried out. Once the daily vote is finalized and all nighttime abilities have been decided on and carried out, a new day's thread will be created. The results of the last day will all be post and the game continues on with the surviving players like this until one side achieves a victory.

How do I vote?
 
Simply type in BOLD for whom ever you wish to vote against. Example: Vote Khushrenada. But that's a bad example. You'd never want to actually vote for me.
 
You may change your vote as much as you like, but any old votes must remain legible.  Simply edit the post, unbold the vote, and make a new post with the new vote. So, you're old vote should look something like this: un-Vote Khushrenada. That is a much better example of how to play the game.

What happens if the vote is a tie?

In the event of a tied vote, there will be an overtime, sudden death voting period of 30 minutes.  The only vote that may be cast is for one of the players who were tied at the end of voting. I fsomeone casts a vote for another player to create a 3 way or higher tie, it will not count. The period is only to break the tie between the players who are tied when the voting deadline was reached.

As soon as a vote is cast that breaks the tie, the day vote is immediately ended and the player with the majority is eliminated regardless of how much time is left in the sudden death period. The vote that is cast can either be from a player that hasn't voted yet that day or from a player changing his vote from earlier in the day.

If the tie is unresolved after 30 minutes, then I will unleash my fury on you all and randomly select three people to die. I don't like ties. This has happened once before. It wasn't pretty. This could ruin anybody's game. If anyone with an ability is selected, their ability is completely nullified and they are just eliminated from the game. In the case of Mable and Sable, if one of them is randomly selected and the other isn't, they both still die but the other player isn't allowed to get revenge or take someone else with them. You have been warned!

I am a villager. What can I do to achieve my win condition?
 
The villager's only weapon is the daily vote. Because there are more villager aligned citizens then others, they can form a majority in the daily vote. The problem is that they do not know who their other allies are. It is up to the villagers to decide who they think is a guilty party based on whatever evidence they can find such as investigations revealing someone's role or behavioral activity they believe to be suspicious and worthy of casting a vote for. Villagers can call out any people they think are suspicious or any evidence they think the may have in the daily voting thread to sway others to vote with them or to get more support for the vote. They can use the voting thread to defend themselves if accused.

You are allowed to talk with and communicate with any player you want. You can even do so in private messages if you want to keep some things secret. You are allowed to make stuff up and lie if you think it will be too your benefit. You can reveal your role if you think it beneficial or you can lie about it also. You are only limited by your creativity in how you want to proceed. But be warned that other parties will be doing the same thing to get you to vote with them to help their interests. This is a game full of lies and deceit and seeing if you can figure out the truth and who to believe.
 
I am Booker, Lyle or Katrina. How do I investigate?
 
Booker can investigate every day. Lyle and Katrina have specific days they can investigate. To make an investigation, select a player you want to know the role of. Send me that choice in a private message. Don't post it in the daily voting thread. As an example say, I wish to investigate Khushrenada. I will wait about 30 minutes in case you wish to change your mind. After that time limit, I will send you the result: Khushrenada is revealed to be awesome! And the host of the game. If you wish to change your selection after you get the result for the day it is too late and you'll have to wait until your next investigative opportunity. You can send in your investigation request at any time in the day or during the night action period. Unlike all other roles, you do not have to wait until the next day to see your result. You can get it on the same day if you send it in soon enough.

I am Dr. Shrunk. How do I protect?

To make a protection, select a player you wish to save. Send me that choice in a private message. Don't post it in the daily voting thread. As an example say, I wish to protect Khushrenada. You have all day to make the choice as well as 30 minutes after the day's vote ends during the night action period. You can change who you protect as many times as you want during this period. After that time limit, your last selection before the deadline will be who gets protected. The person you choose to protect will not be told he has your protection. Moreover, your protective choice will not be posted in the results the next day. The only time protection is mentioned is when it is actually used. For example, Tortimer made a hit on Khushrenada but it failed due to Dr. Shrunk's protection. There is one exception. Every night, Blathers is told the night actions so he will get a notice saying Dr. Shrunk is protecting Khushrenada. He can choose to nullify it or let it be. You do not have to send in a protection if you do not want to. It is not automatically required for you to do so.

I am Phineas. How do I send in my hit?

If you wish to make a hit and eliminate a player during the night, just send me your selection in a pm stating who it is. As an example, say "I wish to hit/eliminate/remove Khushrenada tonight." Do not post it in the daily voting thread. You have all day to make the choice as well as 30 minutes after the day's vote ends during the night action period. You can change who you hit as many times as you want during this period. After that time limit, your last selection before the deadline will be who gets whacked. When the next day is posted, the result of your hit will be revealed stating whether you were successful or not. You do not have to send in a hit if you do not want to. It is not automatically required for you to do so.
 
I am Blathers. How do I stop a night action?
 
Every night, Blathers is given a list of all the night actions. He will be told who Dr. Shrunk is protecting, and which player is being targetted by Phineas, Tom Nook or any new godfather of the 'Coon Mafia, Crazy Redd or any new godfather of the Fox Mafia, Tortimer, Blanca, and Cube or Cube's Apprentice. He will also be told who Mable or Sable target if they get eliminated from the game. With that information and over the course of the game, Blathers can nullify two night actions of his choice by sending me what he'd like to stop in a pm and it will be prevented. The only info he doesn't receive is who the investigative players choose to target as this can occur at anytime as well as my true feelings towards the player. That last bits a joke, son. And yes, Blathers can stop a hit on himself. If Blathers nullifies any night action, it will be revealed in the next day's thread results.
 
I am Mable/Sable. How do I take another player out with me?
 
I can either contact you in a pm to inform you that your partner has been hit so I need a target from you but what might be better is if you both send in a target ahead of time in a pm each day. If I haven't received a target from you by the time I'm ready to launch the next day, you will lose out on your hit choice so best to be prepared. You could both target the same person or have your own targets. It is up to you to decide.
 
I am Tom Nook or the new 'Coon godfather. How do I send in a hit?
 
See the "I am Phineas. How do I send in a hit?" section.

I am Crazy Redd or the new Fox godfather. How do I send in a hit?
 
See the "I am Phineas. How do I send in a hit?" section.
 
I am Tortimer. How do I send in a hit?
 
See the "I am Phineas. How do I send in a hit?" section.
 
I am Cube. How do I blow people up?
 
You are blessed with many options. The most effective way is to get a lot of people to vote you out. If you get voted out of the game, everyone who voted for you will be blown up along with you.
 
However, if you can't wait to explode, you can always send me your selection of 2 players you would like to eliminate in a pm. As an example say "I wish to blow up Khushrenada and S-U-P-E-R tonight." Do not post it in the daily voting thread. You have all day to make the choice as well as 30 minutes after the day's vote ends during the night action period. You can change who you want to blow up as many times as you want during this period. After that time limit, your last selection before the deadline will be who gets the bomb. When the next day is posted, the result of your hit will be revealed stating whether you were successful or not. You do not have to send in a bomb choice if you do not want to. It is not automatically required for you to do so.
 
Finally, you can blow someone up if they attach you during a night action. In this case, there is nothing you can do to stop the attack unless there is intervention by Blathers or Dr. Shrunk. Although you get to take the person who killed you out of the game with you, it is still the least appealing way to blow up.
 
I am Cube's Apprentice. How do I blow people up?
 
You do it the same way as Cube so see the above few paragraphs. However, you do not have the power to blow anyone up until Cube is dead. So, you may want to help get him eliminated in order to activate your powers. But I'll leave it up to the both of you to figure out how you want to work it.
 
I am Blanca. How do I steal a role?
 
When you have decided on a target you would like to become, just send me your selection in a pm stating who it is. Example: "I wish to become Khushrenada tonight." Do not post it in the daily voting thread. You have all day to make the choice as well as 30 minutes after the day's vote ends during the night action period. You can change who you have selected as many times as you want during this period. After that time limit, your last selection before the deadline will be who you become. When the next day is posted, your target will be revealed but the role he had will be kept secret. You do not have to send in a hit if you do not want to. It is not automatically required for you to do so. You can send it in on any day you are ready to commit it to. You can only steal an identity once. After that, you take on the new identity for the rest of the game.
 
Tricky Situations
 
What happens if Cube's Apprentice is one of the players who voted for Cube in a successful Cube vote-out?
 
In such a situation, Cube's Apprentice would be blown up along with the other player's who voted for Cube. He is not immune to a bomb blast even if he is the apprentice. Likewise, if Cube went crazy, he could choose to blow up his apprentice along with himself. It just probably won't happen.
 
What happens if Dr. Shrunk protects a player and that player attacks Cube. Is he protected from the blast?
 
No. I view protection like a walled city. If an an external threat like a hit were to come against that player, that wall would stop it and keep it away. However, if that city were to allow a threat to enter it, then the walls can no longer protect it. So, in this case, it is as though the player lets Cube enter his walled city and gets blown up. It is a disaster of his own making. Protection keeps away disaster that you did not create. Thus, if Cube were to target you to get blown up but you had Dr. Shrunk's protection, then you would survive the blast and thwart Cube. That only works in night actions. Voting out Cube is disaster of your own making.
 
What happens if Blanca targets someone protected by Dr. Shrunk?
 
In that case, Blanca is thwarted and can not take over the identity.
 
What happens if Blanca's target is the same target as Phineas or Crazy Redd's choice?
 
If Blanca and any other player with a hit ability target the same player, Blanca gets credit for the kill and is able to take the identity of that player. The other player does not get another selection and will learn in the results the next day that Blanca beat them to it.
 
On the subject of same hits, what happens if two or three other players besides Blanca target the same individual?
 
In that case, they will find out about it in the next day's result. All parties will get credit for the kill and it will be a missed opportunity for more carnage. I do not go by the time a hit order is sent since we have an international crowd and peple playing at all hours. Likewise, I do not think it fair that one player should know a person is already targetted and then can select another.
 
What happens if two or more players all target each other?
 
Then all those players will die. I consider it like a gunfight where they all shoot and mortally wound each other. Again, I do not go by time stamps or who sent in the earliest hit order to survive. I view that as unfair and prefer to allow all actions to occur.

OK, the fact I live on the opposite side of the planet to most of you and am therefore active when you are all sleeping might make this somewhat difficult

[Khushrenada]

OK, the fact I live on the opposite side of the planet to most of you and am therefore active when you are all sleeping might make this somewhat difficult

You're Aussie, right? Because we've got other Aussie players that have done this and they've won plenty of games. The day's voting thread deadline and creation is timed in such a way that it works out pretty well for Aussie members to still be able to participate enough and react in time with late developments. The only people who really get screwed over are Europeans. It's like midnight in 15 minutes for them so it is the middle of the night when the vote ends and a new day starts.

[Shorty McNostril]

OK, the fact I live on the opposite side of the planet to most of you and am therefore active when you are all sleeping might make this somewhat difficult

You're Aussie, right?

Quite right yes.  Still not 100% sure what's going on but I will try to nut it out.

[Wah]

Let's win this countryman!

[Shorty McNostril]

All this context might make more sense if I actually had a clue about the animal crossing lore I guess lol.

While I'm definitely trying to apply as much of an Animal Crossing flavor as I can to the proceedings, when it comes to the roles and abilities, those are mostly used in most mafia games. You could change the names to Mario characters if you wanted if you think that would make you understand it more. Or you could give the abilities basic descriptions like mafia vets use such as the killer role, Mafia goon 2, vigilante, and that sort. The characters I choose for the roles don't always follow what they are like in game but for story purposes, I though I could make them work in this manner.

Okay, so if I understand this Blathers role correctly, he can block any action. No exceptions. So this means that it would be possible for him to protect himself if there were a kill action placed upon him, correct? So, for example, it is a possibility that pokepal148 is Blathers and protected himself by nullifying the revenge action, yes?

You are reading the rules correctly.

My mission that I have chosen to accept. Get this AC Mafia cleaned up so it looks pretty in perpituity.

Thank you all for many of the kind comments about how much you have appreciated my effort and enjoyed the story. And yet, I am not yet satisfied as I know I can do a bit better and need to catch up on some things. So, in an effort to keep track of it all and let you stay up to date with my efforts, I am going to make a little notation as to what I still need to do.
