How to Play

This guide will give you a basic overview of the game. It would be especially useful if you’re unfamiliar with the concept of the game.

At the core, there are two main groups: the Town and the Mafia. There are also neutral roles. We’ll focus on the Town and Mafia first. At the start of the game, the Town has a significant majority, but the Mafia has the ability to kill at night. To counter this, the Town has the ability to lynch one person during the day by voting. The Town wins if they eliminate the Mafia and most other roles who oppose them. The Mafia wins if they gain a majority and kill anyone who can eliminate them.

There’s also neutral roles. There are typically a few in each game. Each has their own unique win condition. Some can win alongside other teams, and some can’t. Each role is explained in detail in this wiki.

How to win
Depending on what team you are on, you will want to eliminate your opposing team. f you are a member of the the Town, your objective is to eliminate the Mafia. If you are a member of the Mafia, your objective (you guessed it) is to eliminate the Town.

Some teams get complicated with their objectives. Neutral roles all have their own unique objective (for the most part), which you can read about on their own page.

Your team and your role
You will be sent a DM by the current narrator. This will include your role, your team, and any extra special instructions you need to know. To use your role, just respond to the narrator's DM. You will do your action in the narrator's DM (unless you're Mafia or you have another special channel, in which case you can do your action there).

Long and short games
There are two main types of games in the server: long games and short games.

Long games
Long games are well, long, so you have around 12 hours to show up during the night to do an action, and another 12 hours during the day to say something. Please don't be inactive though and try to contribute daily. AFK people ruin the game for others. You can get the Game Pings role in #reaction-roles to be pinged when you can sign up for a new long game.

Short games
Short games take place every once in a while. They have a few minutes per phase and are completed in one sitting. You can get the Game Pings (Short) role in #reacton-roles to be pinged when you can sign up for a new short game.

Signing up
That's most of the basics you need to know before you sign up for a game.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in #general or ask a mod. If you’d like to talk with a moderator for any reason, you can DM a mod or open a ticket by reacting to the message in #rules-and-info. This may feel overwhelming to you at first, especially if you’re new to the game. Reading this guide will help, but if you’re still confused, overwhelmed, or anxious, make sure to ask someone!
