Coming soon.

Your character will be staying at one of the many lovely and somewhat dilapidated and bloody houses that dot the village. Due to the limited number of people there will be ___ characters to a house.

Each character will receive a personalized welcome package with the following items:

• The welcome letter
• One memento from home such as a special item or pet.
• A change of clothes.
• An extra blanket.
• A journal if you wish to record your stay (Not mandatory)

Introduction
No matter where you were just a second ago or what you were doing...you're going to black out and wake up in a dimly lit room in a rundown Bavarian looking village.

Where are you?
How did you end up here?
Who brought you here?

These are the questions that run through your mind before finally noticing the box at the side of your bed. There seems to be a note attached:



The letter just raises more questions, so you decide to take the easy way out and do some exploring in hopes of finding someone you can milk for directions but no one seems to know anything about this place other than what was stated in the letter. To make matters even worse, there doesn't seem to be anyone working in the shops here and the whole place doesn't look like it's been inhabited or taken care of in years.

That's when you notice it...the big stains in front of the clock shop and on the broken fountain. Your confusion starts to give way to unease....

Setting
Your character is now stuck in Nightfall, a small rundown German village in the middle of a very thick forest. It's impossible to tell just by looking at the remaining structures if this place was a real village at one point or just a well built tourist trap. Whatever it was, it has most certainly seen better days. If looking like an overgrown movie set wasn't bad enough, there's also the added feeling that your character is late to the some kind of tragedy that befell the former inhabitants. The first thing they'll notice is the large blood-like stains that cover the town and it's buildings. The uneasy feeling they feel by just standing in the middle of town square is only just the beginning.......

The Locations Page goes into a bit more detail the shops and other places around town.

Game info and Rules
This is loosely based on an old event from mayfield_rpg called the Monsters in which the powers that be ended up turning the entire town against each other with nightly victims and a list of possible suspects.

Due to the basis of the game, this game can last anywhere between a few weeks to a few months depending on how many people apply. In short it's a temporary game that may or may not have a sequel.

Also please follow these rules while playing at Nightfall:

- OOC knowledge =/= In-game knowledge Your character doesn't know what you know, so please don't go spoiling things.
- CHARACTER DEATH HAPPENS IN THIS GAME!!! Please be aware that if your character is chosen as a victim, their corpse will be mutilated anyhow the mod sees fit.
- The only goddmodding to be done is by the mod. If your character feels the need to take matters into their own hands, please plot with the mun of that character before doing so.
- I know it's a given, but please stay active. Activity helps this game last.

FAQ

Q: Is this a Mafia style game?
A: No, it's not. It's a game where randomly generated "victims" die each night and not so randomly generated "suspects" get blamed for those deaths. There is no nightly voting or roles. Everyone is either out to get the culprit or defend their friends from the people who want them dead.

Q: How are the suspects counted?
A: Character relations. Canon relations, whoever your character befriend on the first day here, or simply whoever they live with.

Q: Can my characters keep their powers?
A: No. Any powers and weapons your character has will be taken away. The main goal is to try to peacefully live in this rundown village. We wouldn't want what happened here to happen again now would we?

Q: What happens if my character dies?
A: That's the fun part...they actually die! Once they're dead, they stay dead for good for two (in-game) days. Afterwards they'll respawn at the church without memories of their deaths. The mun can also opt out of respawning and have their character stay dead until the endgame.

Q: Will they ever remember their death?
A: That is classified information.

Q: What happens if my character tries to leave Nightfall through the forest?
A: They get turned around and end up back in Nightfall.

Q:What if I have to leave the game due to unforeseen circumstances?
A: Just post in this thread We'll add your character(s) to the list of victims. Unlike the others they can't come back from the dead at any point in the game, however.

Q: How active do I have to be in this game?
A: Please post in at least two of the in-game day threads (night and graveyard threads also count towards in-game day threads). If you don't, you'll be added to the missing character list reserved for idle players and will basically be dropped from the game.

If you decide to opt out of the respawning, then please try to be active in at least two threads in each graveyard post.

Q: How long do days last?
A: Roughly 3 real days. 2 for daytime, 1 for night threads. However, back tagging is always welcome. Graveyard threads last for 6 days before the characters respawn.

Q: How many characters can I play?
A: You can play up to two characters if you think you're up for it. However, to avoid issues they must be from separate canons.

Q: How many characters can be here from each canon?
A: Cap is set at 15 characters per canon.

Q: How many characters can be apped to the game?
A: Anywhere between a minimum of 60 characters to a maximum of 350. We need as many characters as we can get to have enough victims and suspects.
