    [PokeCommunity.com] Until Dawn



    Intro

    The Butterfly Effect

    A tiny butterfly flapping its wings today may lead to a devastating hurricane weeks from now

    The smallest decision can dramatically change the future

    Your actions will shape how the story unfolds

    Your story
    Is one of many possibilities

    Choose your actions carefully    ​

    Today marks the anniversary of the disappearance of the Washington sisters, the twins Hannah and Beth. After a prank taken too far drove Hannah out into the cold winter night, appalled and embarrassed, her sister ran after her.

    Whatever horrors transpired that night, the two were never seen again.

    Now, the eight friends that had been with them that night, including their brother Josh, have gathered once more at Josh's behest. The annual getaway had been a tradition between the friends, and what better way to honor the memory of his sisters than to reunite the group?

    But tonight, they might just learn the truth of what happened one year ago. Tonight, they might just befall the same terrible fate.

    Mechanics
    This game is going to play rather differently than your normal game of mafia, in a number of ways.

    The first being that there will be no traditional day or night phases. Instead, each phase will be an hour (as the entire game takes place during the course of one night, hence the title). Secondly, there will also be no traditional day lynch or night kills. But then how is this a game of mafia, you might ask? Good question! Simply put, it will still involve the typical "mafia" and "innocent" factions, and the mafia will still be trying to kill off the innocents, but the way in which this happens is quite different.

    If you know of the game Until Dawn, you'd know that it follows eight teenagers vacationing at a mountain lodge owned by the family of one of said teens. During their first night here, however, things quickly begin to go awry, and depending on the choices made by the player, it's possible for all of the characters to survive, or all of them to die, with any combinations in between also being possible.

    Essentially, it's a game of choice. And, similarly, it is entirely possible to go through this entire mafia game without a single player dying, but that's incredibly unlikely.

    As per usual, players will be able to discuss in the thread their thoughts and theories. As there's no night phase, players can discuss freely without interruption. And, although there will be no lynch vote, there will be a vote to Reveal another player each phase. It works as a regular vote, but rather than killing a player, it will publicly reveal their role. Be wary, however, as a person whose role is revealed is far easier to kill, be they human or not.

    The following are the most important things to note about how this game shall be played:
    • There shall be a map of the area for players to explore. Each hour, players may enter up to two different areas, but they have to be connected to the area the player was previously in. Wendigo players will be able to go to three different areas every hour.
    • Players will be able to interact with others that are in the same area as them. Likewise, they may not interact with players in a different area.
      • Certain events may force players to specific areas.
    • While in an area, players will be given a series of choices to determine their fate. For human players, lingering in an area can prove fatal, but it may also provide much needed information or items.
      • Most actions will need to be sent to the Game Master via PM.
    • At certain points, human players may experience a "Don't Move!" prompt. They will receive this through Private Message. During this period, a player may not post in the thread or perform any actions. These sequences might allow players to complete certain actions that require a steady hand, or they might be put in place to save their life. . . .
      • However, failing a "Don't Move!" prompt may not be fatal, even if it's due to the presence of a Wendigo. In certain situations, players might be given multiple chances, and in others, they may need to move in order to assist another player. Inaction might save your own life . . . but it might cost someone else theirs. It's all a matter of choice.
      • Be vigilant! If you're typing up a long post or haven't refreshed in a while before posting, check! Even if you didn't notice the "Don't Move!" prompt, any post made after the message was sent will count as failing it, even if you delete the post.

    In order for players to win, they need only to survive the night. Death triggers an immediate loss for that player, regardless of alignment. In this sense, it's possible for only part of the mafia faction to win, and it's possible for both innocents and mafia to win.

    If you want total domination, you'll just have to kill all of the opposing players.

    Rules
    • All PokéCommunity rules apply.
    • Each player may enter two areas per phase. The area they choose should be Private Messaged to the Game Master and should not be mentioned in the thread.
    • Each player must perform at least one action per phase. Going two phases without performing an action will result in that player's removal.
    • Missing two consecutive Reveal votes will also result in a player's removal.
    • Due to the nature of the game, all phases will last at least 72 hours.
    • All actions should be sent to the Game Master via Private Message.
    • No Private Messaging other players about the game.
    • Any discussion of the game should be kept in this thread.
    • Do not post here once you have been killed. You get one death post, which may not contain any information pertaining to the game.

    This seems really interesting! Count me in.
     
    Role PMs will be sent out tomorrow.
     
    So, I'm assuming it's too late to sign up?
     
    Yes. I can add you in as a reserve, though. That means that if anyone goes inactive, you could replace them.
