Ampharos
tag walls, punch fascists
The bar is dimly lit, the soft orange glow of the overhead lamps reflecting off the glossy dark wood surface of the counter itself. The soft murmur of voices is audible, but far from deafening - not too many people go drinking on a Sunday night.
There's a man sitting to your right. The wrinkles in his button-down shirt suggest that it hasn't been ironed in quite some time, if ever. The coffee stain on his khaki pants tells a similar story, and it's one that's far more interesting than the one he's telling. You begin to wonder if he's ever going to shut up.
"...and so I tell him, look, I don't care how much he's paying you, you don't skip out on the fuckin' Chili Peppers. I mean, here's a group of guys that have been making good tunes for God knows how long, and they're gonna be fuckin' dead in 5 years because their brains are fuckin' fried from all the coke, and here you are wasting away at your desk, doing grunt work for some shithead that thinks he's better than you because there's a hyphen in his last name..."
Mercifully, you finally manage to tune him out again. The bartender makes his way around to you, glancing at your empty glass. You nod, and within a few seconds an ice cold Red Apple Ale sits glistening in front of you.
You take a long sip, and begin to wonder what any of this has to do with a game of mafia.
Nothing at all, you eventually conclude. Nothing at all.

Cycles
This game uses the traditional day/night format. Unless noted in your role PM, all actions are used during the night, and all lynch voting occurs during the day. The game will start on Night 0, during which kills will not work, but all other actions will.
Factions
There are 8 (!) factions in this game. The following factions are uninformed:
Factional Buffs
Depending on which faction is the first to be eliminated, another faction will receive a buff of some sort. The factions which wish to eliminate each other first are as follows:
The Lynch
There will be a lynch each day. To vote in the lynch, type some bolded variation of vote <user> in the main thread. To remove a vote, you must post an unvote. At the end of the cycle, the player with the most votes will be killed. A majority of votes will not result in an early deadline.
Actions
Most roles have actions to use each cycle. The exact method of using actions varies from role to role, and is specified in your role PM; however, in general, replying to the host conversation with a target for your action should work. The order in which actions occur (priority) is predetermined and will not change. I will not answer priority-related questions if they pertain to specific roles, but I may answer blanket questions (do kills outspeed inspectors? of course they do). Some roles have passive abilities rather than active actions, and do not need to specify when they are using their role. If I receive all possible actions in a night phase, I may end the phase early and advance to the next day.
Death
Dead players may not post lynch votes or use passive or active roles. Members of informed factions will be permitted to discuss strategy with their team, but will not be allowed to share information; members of uninformed factions are disallowed from deadtalking of any sort. Dead players may ask me for access to the master spreadsheet for the game, but in doing so will forfeit their right to talk to their faction in any capacity. Death is guaranteed to be permanent in this game.
Items
Don't exist.
Secrets and shit
All investigative roles are guaranteed to be 100% accurate. All cardflips are guaranteed to be 100% accurate. The hosts will not lie to you in any capacity. I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of players not on the factions listed above.
Communication
Screensharing of any sort is disallowed. Any other form of communication is OK. Real time chat via the Circus Maximus Discord channel or #circus on the synIRC network is highly encouraged. The faking of logs with other players is permitted. The impersonation of other players is not. Please do not quote verbatim anything told to you by the host; this includes your Role PM (you may share your role name)
Don't be a dick
To me, your fellow players, your parents, your friends, UncleSam, or really anyone. It's not very nice.
