Welcome to Shitstom: The Game!
The year is 2024
Tornado season has hit the Midwest, but in Detroit, Michigan tornados are a rare occurrence. This isn’t Oklahoma where tornado season is like clockwork. What’s going on is day-to-day life. Cars are headed to work like every other day and as the day begins we find two shit truck drivers after a pick up.
Driver 1: Man that sure was a lot of shit
Driver 2: Those portapotties in at Tigers stadium fill up fast on game days
Driver 1: Well we better hurry up and empty this truck so we can make another run before game time
As they drive down the road the song on the radio cuts out and we get BREAKING NEWS on the weather.
Sunny Storms: Hello Detroit residents and Tiger fans. The game will be cancelled and rescheduled as a freak tornado has touched down on Interstate 75! Find cover and be safe!
The two drivers look at each other and gulp.
Driver 1: Uh, isn’t that the highway we’re on?
Driver 2: Oh. Shit!
Literally! The tornado hits the truck and causes THREE SHITSTORMS!
1. During the day phase, players will VOTE: PERSON if they suspect that person of being mafia. I will post vote counts periodically. It takes a majority of votes on a single person to "lynch" that person, at which point they will leave the game, I will reveal their role, and they will no longer be allowed to post in the thread. If no majority is reached by deadline no lynch will occur.
2. During the night phase, players with special abilities will PM me on here or Discord (Screw DT!) to use their abilities and actions. Mafia will be able to kill somebody, they will choose who is making the kill as well. I will resolve night actions and send results to players. (Roles are invented by me this game and hence may not exactly be standard) You may have hidden modifiers or abilities that I will only reveal as the situation dictates or on your death/end game. That said I WILL NOT LIE (unless you're Mongo and you're asking if I like you.) If the mod confirms something to you in PM, scum chat, or in game I am 100% honest.
3. The TOWN wins the game when they successfully eliminate all threats to the group and at least one townie is alive. The MAFIA win the game when there is no way to stop them becoming 50% of remaining players. There may or may not be third-party roles in the game that have their own private win condition (e.g., a serial killer who wants to be the last one standing, or a jester who wants to get lynched).
4. Do not quote anything from your PMs with me. If you want to claim your role, do it by paraphrasing what I sent you. As a note, you can play your character if you want, but I may make fun of you later) Do not assume a character has a power that is logical to them as non-towns have safe-claims. Anyone can be scum and roles may or may not make sense.
5. For this game, each day phase will be determined by me. With this amount of people I may give more time. Each night phase will have a deadline determined bt me. Day can end sooner as we majority lynch. Night can end sooner if everyone sends in their actions. No lynch by deadline = no lynch.
6. If you want to get my attention in the thread, please post in BOLD. Refrain from using green text, as it is the official mod color.
7. Don't edit your posts. Any edited post or rule break will get edited by me for hilarity. On second offense I will publicly warn you and edit your post. 3 strikes is a modkill This may be altered on the spot based on the severity of the violation. (For example: If you edit to backtrack a comment you made earlier, you will treated with more scrutiny than if you just carelessly wanted to correct your grammar. I can tell too. Don't try me.)
8. Don't talk to other players about the game outside of the game thread or any additional chat threads I open to you.
9. Have fun. This rule may be broken if you want, Negative Nancy. Also, don't read the next rule.
10. You're a rebel. I like you.
THE GAME IS NOW OPEN! DAY ENDS IN 72 HOURS ISH AT 9PM WESTERN STANDARD TIME ZONE THURSDAY MARCH 21 OR WHEN THERES A MAJORITY VOTE.
