"The monsters, the mythical creatures, the legendary figures we either fear or consider curiously: once Halloween comes, they are all gathered for the long-awaited festivities. But this year, it seems that the festivities turned into hostilities... a dark presence with intentions to cause harm has indeed made itself known. Soon, before the festivities can start, someone will die, and until the hidden predators have eliminated all opposition, the innocent will continue to die. Unless, of course, the predators themselves are destroyed first..."

HOW TO PLAY (Important!)
Watch this video!
Essentially, there will be 15 players. Before the game starts, all players will receive through their PMs a role with their faction (blue or red) along with their special abilities. There will be more blue faction members than red faction members. However, the catch is that the blue faction members don't know who is in which faction: they only know their own role. The red faction, on the other hand, know of each other's identities because they will be invited to a secret MAL club where they will see who they are partnered up with.
At the beginning of the game, the first "day phase" starts, and the players must try to weed out the evil by lynching someone they suspect to be a member of the red faction. To do so, each player can vote for another by using the format Vote lynch: Username. Votes can be changed anytime before the day phase ends. Following that, the true role of the lynched player (the one with the most votes) will be revealed to all and that player will be eliminated and unable to further participate. The game then enters a night phase, during which the players will not be able to post in the thread. However, the red faction will be plotting in their secret club to choose a victim. Players with special abilities will be able to perform them by sending their actions through PMs with me, too. Day and night phases last 24 hours each. Thus, 24 hours for a day, then 24 hours for a night, then 24 hours for a second day, etc. The phases follow each other until one faction (blue or red) reaches their win condition. The goal of the red faction is to outnumber the blue faction, while the goal of the blue faction is to eliminate all members of the red faction.

RULES
1. Do not reveal your role by the use of screenshots, quoting my PMs or other similar means. Of course, you are free to pretend to be a role you're not or try to explain to everyone your role and hope they listen.
2. Be active! The roles require everyone to be participating. If you fail to be active and don't contribute to the lynching discussion properly, you might be disqualified for idling.
3. Voting during day phase is NOT MANDATORY. Regardless of the number of votes, the most voted player will die. If I am not present at the exact time for the phase change, every action or vote submitted after the official deadline will not be counted.
4. I am the moderator of this game and what I say goes.
5. If you are going to be away from MAL, I unfortunately cannot assure you that you will live through your absence. If people lynch you or kill you while you are not present, it's their choice and nothing can be done, otherwise it will corrupt the game. If you're certain to be away for too long, ask the host to be replaced. If you fail to submit at least 5 (relatively) constructive posts during a day phase, you will receive a warning. If it happens again, you will be replaced.
6. Personal insults will not be tolerated. Please know that playstyles can change depending on the circumstances and role of a player, so do not assume anything personal during the course of this game. If you ever have a problem with another player, message the host.
7. Do not use any external communications (personal messages, instant messenger, etc.) to discuss the game. Everything must be said in this thread. The red faction members and certain roles may communicate in their designated secret club during the night phase.
8. All night actions and questions regarding the game should be sent to me (Mishukax), and me only. Anyone can arbitrarily update the lynching vote count, but I will always verify it.
9. Play to your win condition.
10. Do not edit nor delete posts you have made. Correcting typos is fine.
11. Follow the site & forum guidelines.

ROLES
All players will be assigned one of the following roles. As there will be 15 players and the number of available roles is 20, you must know that 5 roles will be unused. The players will not know which are the 5 unused roles.

BLUE FACTION (town)


RED FACTION (mafia)

NOTES (Important!)
You will not receive MALoween candy for participation. This game will most likely not end before the mansion closes its doors... However, we still encourage that you play and have fun! People should only sign up if they really plan on playing. Signing up without playing the game is extremely unfair to people who couldn't join and for the ones who are actively playing. If you have a busy schedule or would rather focus entirely on the MALoween rooms which give out candy, you might want to sit this one out. If you enjoy elaborate forum games like these, please check out Mafia Society as well; this game was created in there. Thanks!

SIGNING UP
The game will have 15 slots. You must be a member of the MALoween group to join. Once the sign-up list has 15 filled slots, the sign-ups will close and the game will eventually start.

///Sign-ups are closed!/// When you sign up, I ask that you post in this thread using the following format:
Join: Username (bolded)
By doing so, you attest that you have read the "how to play," "rules" and "notes" sections with care. If you wish to be removed from the list, please let me know.

Gee, this isn't filling up as fast as I thought it would.

Just as a preliminary question, of the five roles that aren't going to be used do we know whether they are town members or mafia members? In other words, will all five available mafia positions be filled? Sorry if this is a dumb question, this is my first time doing an online mafia game.

the unused roles can be both town and mafia aligned, personally I don't think there will be 5 mafia players, at least 1 mafia role will be unused, 5 mafia players isn't a common setup here on MAL. So mafia will either be 3 or 4, four mafia is more likely in my opinion

Same here, I looked at last year's MALoween mafia game (which is what convinced me to do it this year), thankfully there's only 1 position left to be filled...

Sweet, thanks! I kinda figured that's how it would be. I used to play mafia with friends back in HS and that's how we would've run it.

Good luck all! ^^

These monsters are nothing but flavour and a theme for Halloween they don't effect the game much, the roles aren't much different than the common ones, but since this is a role madness game there might be some new roles to you.

Thank you kindly for signing up! The MALoween event organizers, as well as me and Kaitou, hope that you have a fun time. The roles will be sent out through PMs in the following hours, and the red faction members will be invited to their secret club. Happy killing!
You will be notified when the game actually starts - it will be in this thread.

Haha yeah, took only 40 minutes to fill for last year's game. I think it has to do with the timing at which I posted the sign-ups.

As AbuHumaid said, the five unused roles could be anything. You can be sure that we aimed to make the game balanced for either faction when choosing the roles, though!

The role distribution is entirely randomized, so you'll have to deal with whatever you're given >:D

@ironace @Phraze I can add you to the waitlist if you want, in case a player wants to replace out.

Man! Some of the mafia's abilities seem overpowered. It's gonna make this fun. I have a quershtion, though. In the exclusive chat for the dead members, are they allowed to share spoilers? Obviously it would stay within their dead-only chat (unless there is a Quetzalcoatl playing), but would it be allowed to reveal roles or factions of other members? Say if you were a mafia and knew who the other mafia were, ar figured somebodies ability out?
