The whole game will be played on this site, using the forum and private messages.
It's a social deduction game. If you've seen Traitors on TV or the games called Werewolf or Mafia then it's like all of those.
In short it's a game where you use logical deduction combined with reading people to work out what's true and what's a lie in order to either catch the evil team (if you're on the good team) or avoid being killed (if you're on the evil team).
The evil team typically knows who's on their team and who's not but the good team has no idea to start with. As the game progresses people learn information which helps figure stuff out. All players have an individual special ability that may gain them info, allow them to protect people, or maybe even be something that is problematic.
The game goes through a day/night cycle where during the day there is discussion, information sharing, lying, deceit, trapping and planning where everyone talks to try and figure out the truth. At the end of the day the group can nominate who they want to execute, give reasons, a defence is given and a vote is taken. Whomever ends up with the most votes gets executed and, usually, dies. In this game though they're not out of the game, dead players can keep talking and even still get 1 vote but their special ability usually stops working.
At night the information gathering roles get their information and the Demon (evil team leader) attempts to kill someone.
The game goes on until either there is no living Demon (good team wins), or there are only two living players, of which one is the Demon (evil team wins).
