The circus is coming to a smalltown near you.
Unfortunately there has been some delays on the road.
The circus officially insists they have everything under control, but do they really?
How much can you really trust your fellow circus members you've been traveling with for months?
Years?
Gamenotes:
1) This will be a 12 player smalltown game where the role of every play is public knowledge, but the Mafia and SK are randomly distributed
2) Roles will be assigned using a lottery system, the details on which will be revealed when the game is ready to start, but the highest your position in the lottery the more likely you are to get the role you want
3) After everyone has chosen a role they will receive their alignment, nobody will know their alignment prior to choosing a role. There are 8 Town, 3 Mafia, and 1 Serial Killer
4) The SK after receiving their alignment can chose to 2 modifiers from bulletproof, strongman, innocent, or ninja
5) Mafia members must give up their normal ability's action to kill
5b) The SK can kill and act at the same time, if they chose Ninja (Tracker/Watcher immunity) the kill will not show up but their normal action will. Likewise if they chose Strongman and get roleblocked their kill will go through but not their normal action.
6) Player alignment will not flip when they die
7) Days will be 48 hrs and nights 24 hrs
