Purple Rain
The town of Bunyips!
This will be a different style of the Mafia/Werewolves games played in the forums for some time now. This is not a conclusion that the existing style is bad, just trying an alternate style.
The main gist of this game will be story driven, myself as mod will be doing a lot of work behind the scenes. (So, apologies for any mistakes and delays caused by this, will endeavor to work our way through this together and learn from it)
The local mines were extensions of existing caves that have long been feared as home of the Legendary Bunyips. Legends of deaths occurring to visitors to the caves was handed through the Generations.
As the mining company took ownership of the caves, they embraced this folklore and called the business The Bunyip Company.
Amongst the townsfolk were also the members of a group called the Billabong Club, these members followed a lot of strange mysterious rituals and activities.
Some of the towns residential area has been set aside for the company’s new employees and the townsfolk were not happy to see so many newcomers to this town. They distrusted anyone they didn’t know.
The object of the game is for the Bunyip Prospect Company to eliminate the local Billabong Club who will never accept the company in town and to reduce the Local Folks Total population to less than the Company Employees total.
The object of the Billabong Club is to empty the town of all Company Employees and reduce the towns folk so that the Club are the majority.
The object of the Towns folks is to survive the Bunyip attacks and the Mystic Ceremonies of the Billabong Club and eventually get the Guilty to Justice. Lynching!
The Billabong club will discuss in PM whom they suspect of being a Bunyip employee and then kill their choose. The Mysterious One can reveal the identity of a person each night by performing Secret Mysterious Ritual
Sheriff will arrest someone. Anyone arrested cannot perform Nightly activities but also can’t be lynched next day due to alibi of being in jail
The rest of the townsfolk will just sleep.
The townsfolk will then vote for whom they wish to declare guilty. This person will be lynched in the town square.
The townsfolk only get one VOTE per day. They cannot change that vote. So, they must discuss each activity well. If there is as tie in the voting the MAYOR gets to choose either; a multi lynching where all tied vote receivers die, or choose one of the nominees as the guilty. (This decision by Mayor will be done via PM to the MOD)
If the Mayor is killed the MOD will “randomly” pick another person to replace them.
At end of the lynching ceremony all people will nominate where they will spend the night.

If anyone SEERS the Owner they will appear as a Townsfolk.
Bunyip Owners Psychotic Partner - Is totally immune from Night Kills due to being in a TRANCE all night, and if targeted will KILL the person targeting them.
