WW Coven Wins!!: Salem Witch Hunt
Dawn was breaking over Salem, Massachusetts. The almost-Puritan town was smothered beneath a wintry near-silence. Dry branches creaked against a merciless gust. The salty sea spray could not completely cover the smell of burnt flesh…not the burning of witches as in other towns in Massachusetts and across the sea in England. No, this burnt flesh belonged to the smallpox-ridden cadavers who succumbed to the earlier epidemic.
A boy found the woman dead in her bed. Sometime in the night, she had delivered a stillborn babe. Three months too early. It was mangled, deformed…inhuman. Led by the hysterical boy, the Reverend came to the home sometime later. Upon sight of the deceased mother and child he made the sign of the cross before his chest. Witches. There were witches in Salem.
Let the witch hunt begin.
Rules:
***NO POSTING ROLE PM SCREENSHOTS***
1. No editing. If you need to change something you posted in a previous post, simply post again.
2. Play to win. You can be as deceptive as you want and vote for whoever. This mostly applies to the Coven flipping and revealing other members.
3. Only talk to one another in the joint PM with the mod. If you are not in a joint PM with the mod, that means no talking to other players about the game outside this discussion thread at all!
4. Everyone must vote during each day and night phase. If you do not vote, you will be accused of witchcraft during the next action phase. 3 accusations will result in immediate execution. To vote during day phase: ** player is a witch!
To vote during night phase: ** player is a witch! OR ## player is innocent!
(If you do not vote correctly, your vote won’t be counted and you will receive a warning. The second time you vote incorrectly it will be treated as if you didn’t vote, and you will be accused as a witch during the next action phase.)
5. Players in jail cannot perform night actions, and cannot have night actions performed against them. If they have access to private chats, however, they may continue to participate in the private chats so long as they are still alive.
Phases:
Day: Phase will last at least 24 hours. All members of Salem come together and designate a player to burn as a witch. At the end of the day phase, the player with the most votes is the condemned and is sent to jail to await their execution. In the event of a tie, the players with the most votes become the accused and are sent to jail to await their trial. All condemned and accused found guilty will be burned at the beginning of the next Day phase.
Evening: Phase may last up to 12 hours. During that time, the condemned may choose to accuse another player. That player will then be sent to jail to await their trial.
Night: Phase will last at least 24 hours. All members of Salem not in jail will vote on the guilt/innocence of each of the accused. The accused cannot vote in any of the trials, and cannot perform night actions, however they are also safe from night actions and can attempt to convince the rest of Salem that they are innocent during this phase. If the majority say that the accused is a witch by the end of the night phase, the accused will be executed at the beginning of the day phase. If the majority say he is innocent, or the vote ends in a tie, the accused will be released. The third time a player is accused, he will be executed without a trial.
Other relevant information:
- The end result of the night actions will be reflected in the narrative, however, it will not be revealed why an interaction did or did not go through. Figuring out the why is part of the game.
- Hidden roles and their abilities (or lack thereof) will be revealed upon the player’s death, however the neutral player’s win condition will not be revealed until the game ends.
- If you know ahead of time that you will be unable to participate in a certain 24hr period, let the mod know. The phase will either be adjusted to accommodate you, or you will be given a bye on voting, depending on the situation. Please do not abuse this. This leeway has been granted because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
- If you wish to ask the mod a question in this thread, please use green font so it is easy for me to find it. You may also PM if you prefer.
Mod note: I will do narratives and official statements in blue! You will be receiving your roles shortly.

he accused cannot vote in any of the trials, and cannot perform night actions, however they are also safe from night actions and can attempt to convince the rest of Salem that they are innocent during this phase.
so it's best if we shove pretty much everyone into jail, then no one has night actions.
everyone please proceed to vote for the person on your right.
That being said hidden roles
I'm not 100% sure if it would be good to force ties to put people in accused mode, instead of condemned mode. It's hard to predict how it'll play out without seeing it in action a few times. Walls's idea of putting multiple people in Jail is intriguing, however there is a major flaw I see in that: There are 4 (3 mafia + 1 godfather) witches, and if I'm reading the rules correctly they select one person each night to carry out the kill. So unless all 4 witches are in jail there will still be 1 mafia KP each night.
Either way, I still heavily stand by the idea of killing off completely inactive people first. That and if meadows/tyrsis do their "an werewolves" thing I think they should be killed as well. The game is made better by a talkative town, not a purely trolly town or an inactive town. We should have a good idea of who these people will be after the first 24 hours, so I intend to go from there.
**Loafery Stop growing so fast, jerk.

**DaigotsuSlidge for obvious reasons.
imagine if everyone but one person is jailed, then that one guy vote all guilty and win.
rsoultin would be sad though :P
we could pick 2 of them and put them on the stand.
or one active and one inactive, because just putting the inactives on trial will just give a safer leeway for bad guys.
can someone bring the math on whether small groups or singular picks is more beneficial?
because while mafia chooses the killer after accused are picked, we can not only lose a good side action, but he would be outed as well.
I have never seen him play, but people seem convinced he won't log on.
**arson
maybe i'll get lucky again
**Flazer
second, i'm with Tormented on this one. Phantom has been consistently evil lately, so i'm already on guard against her. on top of that, she would not add much if she is town.
if we are playing the odds and trying for the best result, i say
