The normally peaceful Underwater-Village Bikini Bottom is recently haunted by four villains. They kidnap residents every night with the goal to gain control over the village.
But Spongebob and the other residents won’t surrender that easily and try everything to find the villains and to banish them. Fortunately there are some residents who can help them to find the villains, but the villains have some special ablities to trick the residents.
Course of the game:
The Game Master will send every player a Private Message with his role:
There are 20 players and 2 factions: 4 villains and 16 residents
Almost none of the players know the role of the other players - only the villains know each other and are allowed to communicate outside of the thread. They can choose who to kidnap during the night phase.
It’s allowed to discuss everything in the game thread. But you’ll have to pay attention - you never know whether a person tells the truth or not.
There are two phases, the day and the night phase:
Day phase:
Every players will vote for the person they want to banish during the day phase. The person with the most votes will be banished.
Night phase:
The villains will choose a player they want to kidnap during the night phase. The person chosen will be kidnapped.
The residents with special abilities will be able to use their abilities during the night phase. They have to PM the Game Masters to use these.
You can post during the night phase.
ATTENTION! The game will start with a night phase.
Each phase will start at 7 pm central time zone (UTC/GMT -6, click here to see what time it’s in the central time zone).

Residents with special abilities:
Spongebob Squarepants (day)
Spongebob is the most happy resident in Bikini Bottom. He has so much luck, that his banishing vote won’t count, if he votes for a resident. But if he votes for a villain, then his vote will count twice (three times, if he’s the mayor)
The person Spongebob voted for in the banishing voting will get some of Spongebob’s luck for one night. The person can’t be kidnapped in the following night. The mafia will fail to kidnap the person, if they try to.
Patrick Star (day)
Patrick is Spongebobs best friend and so dumb, that he doesn’t even know, that he’s Patrick. But he has the special abilty to safely escape from dangerous situations. Nothing will happen to him, if someone tries to banish, kidnap or to knock him out. If he safely escapes from a dangerous situation, then the Game Master will announce that. After that, he will still be able to vote in the banishing voting, he can still be voted and he can still be chosen for special activities, but he doesn’t count as a resident anymore.
Squidward Tentacles (day)
Squidward is Spongebob’s neighbor who always has bad luck. He has so much bad luck, that his vote will count twice if he votes for a resident. But if he votes for a villain, then his vote won’t count. In addition, he has the misfortune not to know that he is Squidward.
Sandy (night)
Sandy is a friend of Spongebob who is good in karate. Once in the game she can knock a person out. The person will stay K.O. for the rest of the game.
Mr. Krabs (night)
Mr. Krabs is the parsimonious chef of Spongebob, who always has money in his pockets. When the kidnapping began, he decided to visit one of his neighbours every night in order to find out whether they are active at night (Sandy/Mermaid Man/Barnacle Boy/Karen/Squilliam Fancyson/Flying Dutchman/Dirty Bubble/Plankton on the second time he visits him). Unfortunately he’s so clumsy, that every time he visits a person, a coin will fall out of his pocket. Because of that, the person he visited will know on the next morning, that Mr. Krabs visited him (will get a PM from the GM).
He can visit two players in one night once in the game. But he can’t visit one person twice that night.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy (night)
The two superheroes have known each other for many, many years. That’s why they already know in the beginning of the game, who the other person is. They are the only residents who can communicate with each other outside of the thread.
Barnacle Boy can visit one player each night to find out the player’s role.
Mermaid Man can protect one player each night (even himself). It won’t be possible for the villains to kidnap that person or for Sandy to knock the chosen person out. Mermaid Man can’t protect a person twice in a row.
If one of them is kidnapped (not banished or knocked out) then the other one will be able to do both visiting and protecting (can still visit one person and protect another person in the same night).
Gary (day)
Gary is the snail of Spongebob. If there is a tie between two players on a banishing voting, Gary can decide who to banish (by sending the GM a PM). He also can banish both or no one. He has 12 hours to do so. No one will be banished if Gary doesn’t respond in time. He can also choose the person to be freed on day 2. If there’s a draw after Gary died, then the person to be banished will be chosen randomly.
The freed resident
After the second banishing voting, one of the kidnapped persons will be freed. Mr. Krabs can only be freed, if he was kidnapped in the first night, Barnacle Boy and Mermaid Man can’t be freed at all.
If both kidnapped persons from night 1 and 2 fit the criteria to be freed, then Gary will be able to choose the person to be freed.
The freed person can still post in the thread but he can’t use special abilities or vote.
Attention: If you’re one of the persons who was kidnapped on night 1 or 2, please wait until after the second banishing voting before you enter the death chat. You might be freed.
Villains:
Plankton
Plankton is the archenemy of Mr. Krabs and the leader of the villains. He can hide himself really good because he’s so small, that’s why Mermaid Man (or Barnacle Boy after Mermaid Man’s kidnapping) and Mr. Krabs will think that he’s a normal resident/not active at night the first time they visit him. The second time Plankton is visited by the same person, the person will discover that he’s Plankton/active at night.
Once in the game Plankton can visit a person for one night and find out, what the person’s role is.
Karen (night)
Karen is Plankton’s wife and a computer. She can hack into the Bikini Bottom voting computer three times in the whole game and manipulate the voting for the next day. For that, she will choose one player, who will get two extra votes on him in the banishing voting and one player, whose voting count will be reduce by two. (example: person 1 has 4 votes on him -> after the manipulation he has 6 votes on him, person 2 has 4 votes on him
-> after the manipulation he has 2 votes on him)
After each banishing voting the GM will announce whether the voting got manipulated or not and whose voting count was manipulated.
The Flying Dutchman (night)
After being banished or knocked out, the Flying Dutchman will become a ghost. He will still be able discuss and write in the thread and he will still be able to vote in the banishing voting and in mayor voting, but he can’t be chosen for the banishing vote. He doesn’t count as a villain or a resident for the victory conditions.
Dirty Bubble (night)
The Dirty Bubble can swallow any player (except himself) every night. The swallowed person will be declared as swallowed for the next 48h as soon as the next day phase begins. The swallowed person will still be able to post and dicuss in the game thread, but he won’t be able to vote in the banishing voting or the mayor voting or can be chosen for the banishing voting or the mayor voting. The swallowed person won’t be able to use special ablities for these 48h either. After 48h, the Dirty Bubble can choose if he wants to spit out the person (and the person will be able to vote and to use special abilities again) and to swallow another person or if he doesn’t want to spit out the swalloed person.
If the Dirty Bubble gets banished or knocked out, the swallowed person will be freed.
The mayor (both factions)
On the first day phase, there will be a mayor voting next to the banishing voting. The person with the most votes will become the mayor. The mayor’s vote will count twice for every voting. If the mayor gets banished/kidnapped/knocked out, then there will be a new mayor voting on the next day phase.
Announcement of the banishing:
At the end of each banishing voting, the game master will count all the votes, add or subtract votes (Spongebob’s/Squidward’s influence on the voting). After that it will be announced whether the voting was manipulted by Karen or not and whose voting counts were affected. After that, the person with the highest voting count will be banished, but the total voting count of each player won’t be mentioned. If there’re two persons with the same voting count, then Gary will choose the person who should be banished. If there’s a draw between three or more people, the person to banish will be chosen through lottery. The announcement of the banishing might be might be delayed up to 30 minutes due to this.

That's okay, the inactivity rule only applies to game time. The game will start in about 23 hours, so you are still fine as long as you do something in the next 3 days.

Kohai teach me the secret to breathing under water
Hmm, am I your kouhai all of a sudden?
First of all, you have to FEEL the water in the way it is supposed to be felt. Indulge in this liquid entity without constraints and recognize how its power surges swirl around your body...
Well thats new to me didnt ever think of what Chum was but ok
Trash talk no good name i dont even need to insult you your name does it already
I really have no insults what so ever
This is no real phase, since the game hasn't truly begun yet (that's why I call it trash talk). It will start in about 19 hours and it will begin with a night phase.
