Fairytale Mafia: Book One - “Once Upon a Time”
Once upon a time there was a story. This story took place in a strange and magical land inhabited by ordinary people as well as by all manner of extraordinary creatures--giants and dwarves, witches and beasts. In the midst of everyday affairs wonderful things would happen. Animals, and even trees, could talk. Humans were transformed into birds and fish, into objects, and then back again. In this world, Good was always rewarded and Evil was always punished. But then… the story began to change…
On the edges of The Great Beyond, a tremendous power was discovered. A power that, in the hands of Good, could rid this Fairytale Land of Evil forever. But in the hands of Evil, this great power could be used for more nefarious purposes--it could devour this once prosperous and merry land and its citizens in its dark, foreboding maw… leaving only a desolate landscape behind.
Would you fight for the forces of Good and prevent this dire fate? Or would you take this great power for your own and curse all that would seek to defy your malevolent bidding? Only time will tell. And so… another story begins.

Setup and Mechanics:
Setup:
3 Evil
1 Trickster
12 Good
Mechanics:
- Day Start
- Role Modifications
- Roles of Night Kills will be revealed. Roles of Banished players will not.
- Players may not individually perform more than one action per Night (not counting passive abilities).
- All Players will receive fun, Fairytale-themed Flavor Roles (if not modified into Power Roles).
The game is partitioned into two segments: Day and Night. Each Night, Evil will bring death upon a player. Each Day, all living players, as members of the Fairytale Council, will work together to try and determine who among them is truly Evil. Once a player has majority vote, this player will be banished from Fairytale Land.
How to join the game:
To sign up, simply post in the thread and send me an email saying you want to play (and who you are)! You can find my email in my About Me.
Once sign-ups are closed, I will be using a randomizer to assign everyone a Starting Role (see Starting Role PMs for an idea of the emails sent to players). Then the following occurs:
Night 0, Phase One
- 3 Evil Starting Role Emails, 1 Un-Recruited Trickster Starting Role Email, 12 Good Starting Role Emails are sent (See Starting Role PMs).
- 2 starting Good Role Modifications are randomized from the list of all possible Good Role Mods and are set aside.
Night 0, Phase Two
- Evil chooses any of three Special Abilities, including Evil Role Modifiers.
- Any additional Good Role Modifications (up to three additional roles, depending on the number of abilities--if any--chosen by Evil) are randomized.
- All Good Roles are randomly re-assigned, including Power Roles and Vanilla Townie “Flavor” Roles.
- Good players are emailed and informed of final role assignments.
- Once all players have confirmed their final role assignment to me via email, the game starts with Day 1.
NOTE: Please do not mention whether or not you have received your email yet, as this could reveal who you are. Also, please ask me questions if you’re uncertain about anything regarding your role via email, not the thread! I will make a post saying when all Starting Role emails have been sent and a following post when all Roles have been finalized.
PRIZES:
All members of the winning team will receive a custom Sim (CC-Free)--should you want it--reflecting the Fairytale character you saw to victory!
1. If you have been killed by the Evil during the Night or banished by majority vote during the Day, you MAY NOT state on the thread what role you played, whether you were Good, Evil, or had a special role. You CANNOT try to tell people who you think Evil are. You may still chat on the thread, but you can't affect discussions and votes.
2. Lurkers are welcome to chat on the thread, just don't tell the players anything that might influence their discussions.
3. To ensure that no ghost or lurker is trying to influence the players, these people may only post chatter during "Night" time. "Day" time is for active players to be discussing their suspicions and deciding on a vote.
4. Anyone is allowed to claim that they are any role. No one is allowed to post "proof" of their role, such as the email you received with explanation of your role.
5. Any eliminated players or lurkers may email me at any point to ask what role everyone was assigned. I will tell you. Please refrain from sharing this information with players who are still in the game, thanks!
BUT... if banished players want a chance at coming back via Tinkerbell’s fairy dust, you're not allowed to ask me for any information. You're also not allowed to campaign to be brought back on this thread.
6. Emailing outside of the game is highly discouraged! No one should be getting outside help or information.
7. Please do not talk in "code" or hide secret messages in your posts, including posting in white "invisible" font. Anything you want to say should be able to be read by everyone.
8. Please post any votes for banishment in bold type with the following format: Vote: [Player Name]. Once a player receives majority, I will allow a brief period for them to state a defense before banishing them from Fairytale Land (and the game).
9. Besides that, open season. Lying about your role, accusing other people of being Evil, defending yourself against accusations, it's all open and fair. You may accuse people for any reason you want, including (but not limited to) their posts are suspicious, they don't sound like they usually do, they always had it out for Simmer A and that person was killed overnight, they have a suspicious looking avatar... you can say anything you want.
10. Anyone caught breaking these rules may be subject to elimination from the game.
11. Please keep it fun, and not personal! This is a game, and should be treated as such.
12. As host, I reserve the right to eliminate or replace players based on anti-fun behaviour or absence from the game as I see fit.

It is automatically activated the first night an Un-Recruited Trickster is targeted.
Yes, if all the baddies die, the Un-Recruited Trickster becomes an Evil Goon. They do not have to have been recruited by Evil for this to happen.
***
Will we know how many Role Mods Evil chooses and how many subsequent total Role Mods Good is given?
No, You will not be told either of these things. You only know that Good begins the game with at least 2 Role Mods (which are chosen by random generator and then assigned to Good players by random generator as well).
***
Big Bad Wolf if he exists has a one-shot Go For the Throat (Strongman) ability. This kill MUST be actively chosen on any given Night and the kill WILL go through no matter what. He will rip his target's throat out and eat him/her for dinner. Yum!
Big Bad Wolf only gets to use any of his special abilities IF he is the one making the Night Kill. Then he must signify to the Narrator (that's me!) that he would like to use it. The kill would be Evil's ONE Night kill, meaning, they do not get an extra kill on any Night this ability is used.
Obviously, Big Bad also has another one-shot ability--Stealth (Ninja) but you're not asking about that. Just something to remember. Again, he would have to be the one doing the killing and needs to let me know he is using it for it to be activated.
***
Mulan if she exists would stay alive in this case, yes. In some games there is a chance for Mulan to die as well, but this is not the way I have decided to go for this game at least.
Of course I am open to suggestions for ways to improve the game once it is over and this is one of the things that could change for future games.
***
The content of death scenes will not contain any hint as to whom is doing the killing, if a target was actually chosen, whether or not a killing action was blocked or the character was immune, etc. At least that is what I have planned.
So you should not analyze death scenes too much for that reason. Same with banishment. If a player *seems* from a banishment story to be actually guilty/innocent, it is *not* intended.
If, after I have posted a banishment/death scene, you have questions about its content, please ask.
I will try to make everything as clear as possible. If there is information I feel you should know, I will expressly state it as something I am making clear.
Also I am expanding this game to include 16 players (if we get enough additional sign-ups.
Go Go Go!
Haha, I was stalking the thread while it was being set up
Which I'm sure you know
So don't mind me
I will add Sky as well.
***
Trouble, I'm just hoping *most* people will email me.
And I'd rather be in the afterlife, so if someone really wants to play my spot is theirs.
I did make the picture!
I want you in the game, brother. No dice.
HOORAY!
No, stay in, cause we're going to get 16 and be all full and it will be exciting!
See, we're only one away now
Yaaay, Bookworm!!
I do what I want. 8)
Yay, new people to play with!
