Setup Rules

Refusal to follow any of the rules below will result in punishment, the host has the right to decide how serious said punishment is.
You have one No-Lynch per game. If No-Lynch is reached twice, Universal Loss occurs. You may not No-Lynch on Day One.
Day Phases last for 12 minutes, or until a Hammer is reached. You have one 5 minute extension per game. MYLO or LYLO phases last for 15 minutes.
Majority Hammer, 50% +1 required. As soon as Hammer is reached, Day Phase will end.
The Mafia Traitor in the 17 player setup does not know who their buddies are and vice versa. The Traitor can not perform the Nightkill unless they are the only Mafia member left. SK has higher priority kills, all other kills are equal to each other.

Theme Specific Rules

The host will randomly generate a number of roles from the copy abilities below equal to the amount of players in the game minus one.
Mystery Abilities are hidden from the players until they are distributed. Any player receiving a mystery role will be given two roles to fakeclaim if they should desire that are not the other Mystery Abilities.
The Day One Lynchee will then distribute one of those abilities to another player in the game. That player will then give a ability to their choice, and so on until all the abilities have been distributed.
Global Night talk is allowed Night One after all abilities have been distributed, but not during.
There will be no Night Talk after that unless your ability says you can.
If your ability breaks any of these rules, follow your ability.
If you are roleblocked or do not receive your result it will be announced. If you are redirected it will not be announced.
There are revivers in this setup, so don’t talk to any other players in the game if you are dead or alive under any circumstance.



Example of how abilities are distributed: Gligarbro, TheWhoDoctor, Hannahh, Hobbes2, Wolv&Bats, Zeonth, Javelinlover, Charizard728, and SlimShadow are in a 9 Player game of Kirby Mafia. After much deliberation, Hannahh is lynched on Day One (to nobody’s surprise.) The available copy abilities are Animal, Burning, Circus, Leaf, Mirror, Wing, Mystery #1, and Mystery #2. Hannah decides to pass Burning to Gligarbro, her townread. Gligarbro wants to give scum weaker roles, so he passes Mirror to Charizard728, his scumread. This goes on until the roles have been distributed like this,


Gligarbro- Burning

Charizard728- Mirror

TheWhoDoctor- Mystery #1

Javelinlover- Leaf

SlimShadow- Circus

Zeonth- Animal

Hobbes2- Mystery #2

Wolv&Bats- Wing


Now the mystery roles are notified of what their ability is and two abilities that are not in the game. TheWhoDoctor gets the Ninja Ability, and is told that Water and Clean are not in the game. Hobbes2 gets the Cutter Ability, and is told that Suplex and Doctor are not in the game.


Nighttalk commences after all abilties are passed, and remains there until all actions are in.


Helpful Tips:


Town: Make sure everyone has a good reason for why you give someone a role. This is one of the easiest ways to find scum. If someone gives a scummy player a powerful role, they might potentially be buddies. Also, don't sacrifice scumhunting and spend entire day phases planning roles. Your brain is just as important as your role.


Mafia: Try not to lie about your role. It is generally best to use your role in consensus with the town and avoid being caught. This forces town to scum hunt instead of finding easy role based info that incriminate you. However, if you have a mystery role or something that is hard to catch in nature like Ninja, using that role wisely would be beneficial, regardless of what town says.


SK: Blend in. You're not going to be caught like Mafia since you have no buddies to form associations, but being too pro town could make you get night killed by them. However, if you take that too far you may get lynched! Find the right medium.

Game Logs/Analysis:


Game #1: 5/5/16: 9 Town, 2 Mafia A, 2 Mafia B. Town wins in 3p lylo with MafiaA . Too many subs this game (seriously like 10) but other than that good trial run. Archer is very powerful in the hands of scum, they can pull of great fakeclaiming and moling and such. Town didn’t have very strong abilities, I believe Metal (mystery) and Yo-Yo were their strongest. Metal activated to save the game for town which was cool. Multifaction is always a bit swingy but it went well in the end.


Abilities: Archer, Beetle, Bomb (Mystery), Circus, Hi-Jump, Metal (Mystery), Mirror,  Paint, Spear, Whip, Yo-Yo (Mystery)


Game #2: 5/6/16: 2 Mafia, 7 Town. Mafia win in 3p lylo. Glad games aren’t just town wins, think this shows that good play is not dependent on roles. However, roles played a big part of this game because four of the 8 increased the amount of kill power. Mafia got Burning which was the main reason they were able to instantly win Lylo. Town’s best roles was probably Magic for turning someone into a PGO when Maf killed them (1/32 chance.) Good play from everyone, not much else to say.


Abilities: Animal, Burning, Cupid, Hammer, Leaf, Magic, Poison (Mystery), Stone (Mystery)
