Alright, the basic rules are fairly simple, though it you need anything clarified, feel free to post and ask questions here, so we can clear up all confusion right away.
There are two teams, good guys and bad guys. The good guys are called something like: "villagers" or "townsfolk" and represent the regular 'ol people. The bad guys, on the other hand, are called "Mafia" or "werewolves" or something else negative. Basically, everyone is given a role at the beginning of the game that no one else is told, normally via a card with the role printed on it, which they are not allowed to show others. In this case, it would be a PM with your randomized role, which is not allowed to be shown to others, though you are allowed to verbally state what you are, or even lie about what you are if it is convenient.
Now, the good guys outnumbers the bad guys and both sides are trying to eliminate the other side before they get eliminated. There are two stages to the game, the night stage and the day stage.
Now, during the night stage the bad guys confer with one another and decide upon a single victim to kill, who is announced the next morning. During the day stage, everyone discusses amongst themselves and tries to determine who the bad guy(s) are. At the end of the day everyone can vote to lynch one person. Rinse. Repeat. It keeps going like this until either all the good guys die or all the bad guys die.
As you can probably tell, this is also known for being a game about deception and seeing through deception to figure out who is and who isn’t evil.
In an FFU variant, each day would literally be represented by a day. In other words, I, the moderator, would announce each morning who was killed the previous night and announce that the time for discussion and voting has begun. Then, about 12 or so hours later, or as close to it as I can manage with classes and whatnot, voting would be closed, someone would be announced lynched and the night phase would begin, wherein people would have about 12 hours to PM me what actions, if they have any (such as bad guys decision on whom to kill), they are taking, to be announced the next morning.
Once you are dead, that’s it for you. You are no longer allowed to share information in the discussion threads, nor can you vote, of course. Basically, you sit tight, even if you’ve figured out who all the bad guys are and see if everyone else can manage it on their own. I know it can be infuriating if you have information you want to pass on, yet got killed before you had the chance, but please try to play fair.
Note: I realize that it would probably be very easy to cheat, especially if two people use the same computer. In other words, this is a game for fun, relying on the hope that other people are also here to have fun and wouldn’t try to ruin it for those who do decide to follow the rules.
