Is the game active yet?: NO

I was brutally murdered last night in cold blood. Now the game begins.... we need to find the killer among us.

Game Overview:

- I am dead and will moderate the game + give clues as the ghost.

- The game has Night Phases (private actions) and Day Phases (public discussion & voting).

- Goal: Innocents try to find and vote out the killer. The killer tries to survive.

Roles:

- 1 Killer – Chooses one person to kill each night.

- 1 Detective – Can investigate one player per night to learn their role.

- 1 Doctor – Can protect one player from being killed each night (healing only works if the Doctor chooses the person the Killer targets).

- The rest of the players – Regular Townspeople (normal players who discuss and vote).

How the game works:

- Night Phase: I will DM the Killer asking who they want to kill. I will DM the Detective asking who they want to investigate. I will DM the Doctor asking who they want to heal.

- Once someone is killed, they become a ghost and cannot make posts or interact in the main discussion anymore (they can only watch).

- Day Phase: Everyone discusses in the community, accuses people, and we vote on who to lynch.

Important Rules:

- No cheating. No talking about the game privately with other players unless your role allows it. No screenshots of roles. No metagaming. If you cheat, you will be immediately banned from the community and all future games.

- Be respectful and have fun. No real hate or toxicity.

- Dead players can watch but cannot speak in the main thread.

Let’s find out who killed me.

If you've committed a crime and a detective gathers everyone involved in the room, especially if he's not actually a detective and is instead a novelist, puzzle-setter, psychic, fake psychic, dog, chess grandmaster, etc. ...

YOU SHOULD NOT CONFESS.

Every year, hundreds of people are put away by non-traditional "detectives" who have either inserted themselves into the case or are working with the police in a dubiously legal capacity as advisor. In 99% of these cases, the murderer gives a full confession even though the evidence against them is circumstantial at best and often requires a long just-so story which can only guess at motive.

If this happens to you, stay quiet, do not attempt to defend yourself or talk your way out of it, only say "I want a lawyer".

Now if you find yourself being investigated by a boy genius, magician's assistant, anthropologist, classics scholar, or philosopher, it's likely that refusing to talk to the police (or investigator with no legal authority) is merely the end of the second act, and by the end of the third act they will have you dead to rights.

YOU SHOULD STILL NOT CONFESS.

Make them take it to court. Force the eccentric detective and his straight-laced police partner to take the stand and explain their methods to a jury of your peers. Have your lawyer look at the chain of custody on the evidence, especially if you believe it to have been handled by someone who has only bumbled into detective work through their natural charm and/or unique set of skills and outsider perspective that come in handy more often than they should.
