"What does a hero truly need?
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/7/7/AAAACbAADpDR.png

Hello, and welcome to Dota 2 Mafia 2. You are one of the chosen few heroes to Defend your Ancient in a constant, multiplanar war. What are the Ancients, you ask? Two halves of the same whole a slightly-corruptive, yet immobile, shattered consciousness that over eons has terraformed their surroundings and some of the lesser creatures around them into a reflection of an aspect of their former self. It isn't entirely clear.

Point is, you are a Hero one of the few who resist the corruptive forces to not turn into a creep. Your goal is to topple your opposing Ancient whether you're the RADIANT, colloquially known as Town, or the DIRE, colloquially known as "Mafia." You are to work with your team... wait... you mean you don't know who they are?

Who writes this crap? Ugh. AFK in fountain, GG GL go next.
At least try!
Ughhhh, FINE.

Most of you are of the RADIANT side. Beautiful, lush forests and cherry blossoms, glowing quartz crystal still just as sinister as the DIRE side, which is your standard withered trees, polluted soil, and igneous rock. DIRE has their act together a bit better, and is more coordinated. Your goal? Destroy the opposition utterly so you can freely siege the enemy Ancient to return it to wherever it is elder gods go when they die. Or, to put it succintly:

Town weed out non-town players and eliminate them using the abilities provided to you and your votes.
Mafia gank other players at night and use coordinated tactics to get them to turn on themselves.

...Who am I, you ask? A retired hero, now a shopkeeper. I've seen this battle again and again. I may have some wares for you later, if you pay in coin; you'll find me a bit of the way's to the forest. And don't try to pull anything funny on me. I've seen and handled worse than gods in this place.

Please review the rules below.

1.) This will be role-madness style. As it has developed, it's been made clear I needed to confirm it as such. It is experimental in part because I am new to hosting, and in part because I believe I've written up something so fun could be had for anyone. Balance may be a bit skewed. It should work just fine, as I've put some thought and effort into this, and if not... well...
2.) Leave your Haterade at the door. This is a game. We are ostensibly all working adults, and if you want to bring certain bigoted views or commit TOS violations, do it on your own time. Calling someone scum or scummy is fine. Calling someone a jackass is pushing it. Calling someone worse is grounds for not being invited back.
3.) Timing and Actions. I am a full-time librarian. I do not always have 100 percent access to computers throughout the day and night, and I am aware other players in this game have time zone differences, so am relying in part on a co-host @PunishedBen. I am also relying in part on my own attention span to DMs, which aren't always reliable (your host is, unfortunately, part deaf and occasionally fails to hear the phone if the vibrate isn't enough.)

I enjoyed the 8 PM Eastern end time of Simple Mafia just past (or rather, I would've, if I wasn't ill, so knock on wood that won't happen again,) so let's aim for that for start/end of day, and to make it clear:

Days last for 48 hours or until someone is eliminated by vote.
Night lasts for at least 23 hours, or longer if a player is eliminated early in a day.
There will be a twilight period of one hour after a stop is called for flavor and resolving of abilities. I will resolve stops earlier if any occur during the middle of a day without ending a day (for example, if a player is modkilled.)

Day actions, if secret, are due before 6 PM, or two hours before standard end-of-day, and resolve in the order I receive them.
Night actions are due before 7 PM, or one hour before start-of-day, and will resolve after I have determined interactions between who has done what.

You are limited to one day action and one night action only, unless otherwise stated in your role DM or your item's description. Day actions include passing items, using items, or using any abilities your role DM indicates you have, unless otherwise stated by the item or ability.

4.) Votes, votals-keeping and Stop calls. Keep your votes and actions taken clear. The easier it is to follow what you're attempting, the easier it is to keep the game going. Use this with ##vote: <target> or ##unvote - I will attempt to keep votals accurate.
5.) Flavor. Mafia is a game of truths and falsehoods. You can lie about your flavor, if you like, but do not attempt to use the actual wording from your flavor as an argument for "wait why would I do that Isquen said this." Like back in the Pokemon side of Star Wars/Pokemon Mafia, flavor does not necessarily equate to alignment nor ability. And if I've been warned for modkilling over it in the past, so shall you be. If you have any questions about your flavor, I encourage you to look up your assigned character.
6.) Flips. Role flips for dead players will happen at the end of day phase. There are no janitor roles or items to alter these. Once a flip is posted, the death is final.
7.) Items exist in this game. Unless I have told you otherwise, your item is essentially a one-use consumable role that works in addition to your normal role. For my own sanity, if your item(s) mention day actions or night actions, they may only be used if you have not otherwise performed an action. Sharing items with other players also counts as performing an action.
8.) There is an a money system in play. Every living player will passively generate 100 gold at the end-of-day. After Day 1 resolves, the secret shop opens up, and is available for anyone, unless otherwise noted, to use their night action to visit and purchase items. The shop inventory will be revealed midway through day one, and the shop may add items throughout the game. Inventory may change day to day, and will be revealed midway through each day if so.
9.) Standard Mafia rules will otherwise apply. If you have questions about the game that I am able to answer without compromising the game, please either DM me on here or on Discord (I am on the B8 Discord pretty much constantly, even if invisible or away.) Please refrain from deleting or editing posts, as well; doing a minor typo fix is inevitable, but changing your entire argument on the fly is a no-no.
