- The Dead - Players who have been lynched by the mob of villagers, or killed by the mafia, are out of the game. Their role is revealed by the narrator to the survivors. They are now spectators for the remainder of the game.
- Assignment - At the start of the game the narrator will randomly decide who gets what role using a random number generator. Roles will then be PM'd to all those taking part along with any instructions or information that go with that role.
- Deadline - At the beginning of the day the narrator will "wake everyone up" and give them a limit for deciding who to vote for, usually 5 days. The deadline may be extended if the narrator and players feel it is appropriate.
- Discussion - During the day anyone who is currently alive may discuss who they think should be lynched amongst themselves as much as they want. However they must have voted by the deadline.
- Editing posts - Nobody other than the narrator is allowed to edit their posts. What you have said is said, you cannot take it back any more than you can travel back in time.
- Voting - Players vote by writing "I accuse NAME". You may change your vote by accusing someone else, however you only get one vote per day. The last vote you make that day is the one that is counted. You may rescind your vote by writing "I stop accusing NAME". All votes must be in bold (to make it easier for the narrator to see them).
- No Lynch Vote - Instead of voting for a person a player may chose to vote for no lynch that day by writing "I vote for no lynch". If the majority of the votes are no lynch then nobody dies that day.
- Missing the deadline - If you miss the deadline and fail to vote you will be given a strike. 3 strikes and your character is removed from the game.
- Lynching- At the end of the day time the person with the most votes against their name is lynched. In the case of a draw the mayor for the day casts the deciding vote. Their roles will then be revealed.
- Sleep - After the hanging(s) the narrator will "put everyone to sleep". Whilst asleep nobody but the narrator may post in the main thread.
- Deadline - At the beginning of the night cycle the narrator will give the special characters who may act during the night a deadline in which to act, normally 2 days. The deadline may be extended if the narrator and players think it is appropriate.
- Actions - Certain special characters can act at night. For the first game, this will only be the mafia. The mafia must discuss amongst themselves, via PMs, who they wish to kill. The Don must then send their decision to the narrator before the deadline is up. All other roles who work independently must PM the narrator their actions that night by the deadline.
- Kills - Any kills will be revealed at dawn as players are awakened for the day.
- Villagers - The villagers win by killing all the Mafia.
- Mafia - The Mafia wins by equalling or outnumbering the villagers during the day.
- Fool - The Fool wins by being lynched during the day. He can draw with the Mafia if his lynching also means that the Mafia reach their victory condition.
