* Villager
The players' roles are picked by the Moderator. There should be one Moderator, two Worshippers, one Seer and the rest of the players should be Villagers.
The Moderator will pick who the players are and send Private Messages to everyone to let them know what they are. I will take the place of the Moderator in this game.
Two players are now secretly Worshippers. They are trying to slaughter everyone in the village. Everyone else is an innocent human Villager; but one of the Villagers secretly has the Second Sight, and can detect corruption.
The Game: Night and Day:
The game proceeds in alternating night and day phases. We begin with Night.
At Night, the Moderator sends a Private Message to the two Worshippers, who will then confer with each other and pick a player to murder.
The Seer then sends a Private Message to the Moderator and then picks a player. The Moderator will then reply, saying if the player chosen is a Worshipper or a Villager.
The Moderator will then tell all the players who has been killed, and the player will tell everyone what he was. He cannot reveal any other information apart from what he was.
Now it is Day. Daytime is very simple; all the living players gather in the village and lynch somebody. The mob wants bloody justice.
As soon as a majority of players vote for a particular player to die, that player then reveals his card, and the rest of the players find out whether they've lynched a Villager, a Worshipper, or the Seer.
There are no restrictions on speech. Any living player can say anything he wants; truth, misdirection, nonsense, or barefaced lie.
Contrariwise, dead players may not speak at all. As soon as the sun comes up and the Moderator indicates that someone is dead, he may not speak for the rest of the game. No dying soliloquies allowed. Similarly, as soon as a majority vote indicates that a player has been lynched, he is dead. If he wants to protest his innocence or reveal some information, like the seer's visions, he has to do it before the vote goes through.
No player may reveal his card, to anyone, except when he is killed. All you can do is talk.
Once a player is lynched, night falls and the cycle repeats. Everyone closes their eyes, the Worshippers secretly select someone to kill, the seer secretly learns another player's status; then the sun rises, one player is found dead, and the remaining players begin to discuss another lynching. Repeat until one side wins.
Winning:
The Villagers win if they kill both Worshippers.
The Worshippers win if they kill enough Villagers so that the numbers are even. Two Worshippers and two Villagers, or one Worshipper and one Villager. At that point they can rise up and slaughter the Villagers openly.
In Case It's Not Totally Clear:
The Villagers are trying to figure out who's a Worshipper; the Worshippers are pretending to be Villagers, and trying to throw suspicion on real Villagers.
The seer is trying to throw suspicion on any Worshippers he discovers, but without revealing himself to be the Seer, because if he does, the Worshippers will almost certainly kill him that night, since he's the greatest threat to Worshippers' security. Of course the Seer can reveal himself at any time, if he thinks it's worthwhile to tell the other players what he's learned. Also of course, a Worshipper can claim to be the seer and reveal anything he wants.
The only information the Villagers have is what other players say and who dies. Accusing someone of being a Worshipper is suspicious. Not accusing anyone is also suspicious. Agreeing with another player a lot is suspicious, and therefore so is pretending not to agree with another player. Never voting to kill a particular player is very suspicious for both of them unless it's the seer who knows that player is innocent.
If you want to play, post in the color you're going to use. Once I think we have enough people, we can start.

2% of forum users think that putting in that "98% of forumers say fast travel ruins Oblivion. Put this in your signature if you're one of the 2% who realize it's optional" is cool. Don't put this in your signature if you are not a complete tool.
I want in!
Also, Matt told me to reserve a place for him if I were to start this myself. As you did it before me, please reserve a place for him (if you don't mind of course).

Hi! I am a UESPF Moderator and you can PM me with any concerns you have, no matter how trivial. You can also use the report button - a feature that draws attention to a certain post and allows us to offer our own input.
Maybe if we rise any more in numbers, there should be added more worshippers?
As far as I remember, when there were only five participants, there was only one worshipper. a 20 % worhsipper percentage seems like the generally used concept.
Because there's no fun to be found in being normal.
That's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure if I'll need to implement it. I don't think anyone else is going to join, since basically every other game on here like this has had 9-10 people in it.

I'll join I guess. On a side note, why do we need colors? It only makes it harder to read the thread for me. Can't we just tell who everyone is by looking at there username? This will be my color I guess.
