A long time ago in the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff, during a hellish thunderstorm, on the stroke of midnight a scream echoes down the vine-covered stones of its twisting alleyways.
The startled townsfolk rush to the town square to investigate, and find that the local Storyteller has been murdered, their body impaled on the hour hand of the town clock, blood dripping onto the cobblestones below. Curiosity turns to fear, as it soon becomes obvious to all that a demon is on the loose—killing by night and taking on human form by day.
Each of the townsfolk has some information, but the demon and its evil minions are spreading lies to confuse and breed suspicion over the identity of the fiend. Will the good folk put the pieces of the puzzle together in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?
Hello everyone! Welcome to Blood on the Clocktower. A social deduction game like Werewolf or Mafia except now with even more lying and distrust and the dead won’t shut up. I will be your humble (and also dead) Storyteller, and I will be guiding you as you fight against the Demon trying to destroy your village (or the silly villagers who stand in your way). If you have ever played Werewolf/Mafia before the basics are quite similar. In the night the Demon will kill someone and other characters will take various special actions, then during the day everyone will try to figure out who the evil characters are and execute them (while the evil characters lie and spread confusions in order to stay hidden). The primary differences between this and Werewolf are that everyone has a special ability of some kind, so everyone has a goal and a way to potentially gather information, and even when you are killed you will still be participating in the game and taking an active part in discussions. Interested? If you would like to play all you need to do is sign up below and make sure you are in the Spiritus Discord server (this is where most of the discussions will take place, it's easiest). This will not be a large time commitment, and you do not need to be on at the same time as everyone else so all timezones are welcome. Let me know if you have any questions! Players:
1. King Platypus 2. Feirmont 3. Darkweb 4. Wuufu 5. Johanna 6. Rhinononon 7. Rogamark 8. Salaxalans If you want more information about the game in advance you can find the rulebook and all sorts of other info about the game at these links. Feel free to read whatever you want, nothing is secret. BUT no one will have to read any of this to play the game.

Alright! I’m going to begin by going over the basics. The game will alternate between Day and Night rounds. During the Day everyone will discuss and may, if you want, execute one person. During the Night some of the roles will gain secret information and/or get to act in some way. Most notably every night the Demon will kill someone. These rounds will alternate until the Demon dies, and Good wins, or there are only two players left alive, and Evil wins. The details of how this work will be explained as we go forward, but overall there are really only four big rules you need to remember: 1. You can say whatever you want at any time. This is a talking game. You can talk publicly with the group, or have PRIVATE conversations whenever you want with whoever you want. 2. No cheating. You CANNOT prove that you are a certain role by sending screenshots of my messages. Doing so will result in an automatic loss for your entire team. 3. In public or in private at any time you can ask me any question you want: if you don’t understand something, need help with your character, or just want some basic strategy advice. I am neutral, and it is my job to understand the rules and try to make sure everyone has fun playing. So don’t hesitate to reach out. 4. Play nice. This game is about deception and trickery, so please treat others with respect and consideration. Kill with grace, and die with dignity. It has been decided that the #gaming channel in the discord will be used for all discussions, so use that channel. From now on I will be posting and pinning all of my important messages in that channel, though I will also post the important rules messages in this thread for reference as well. But make sure you check the pinned messages in that channel! Aside from those messages, the only outside resource you will need is this role refrence sheet (I will also be sending this to all of you in the role message, in case you can't access google drive for some reason): drive.google.com/file/d/17hB8z0DfXZvaBqhUy52ag-nS3VbAEP1I/view It lists all of the roles that MIGHT be in the game. Everyone will recieve one of these roles, which will give them some kind of special ability. This is a game about information (and misinformation, please note that everyone could be lying to you, even I could be lying to you if you have a role such as the Drunk) and these abilities Good may be able to find the Demon and kill them. All of the Blue roles (the Townspeople and Outsiders) are Good, and the Red roles (Minions and the Demon) are Evil. For this eight player game there will be: 5 Townspeople 1 Outsider 1 Minion 1 Demon Please note that right away this could be a lie: if the Minion is the Baron, there are actually 2 more Outsiders and only 3 Townspeople (Great, right? ) So, the first thing that’ll happen now is that I will message you all individually and give you a role. I will be going around our “circle” in the order you signed up: 1. King Platypus 2. Feirmont 3. Darkweb 4. Wuufu 5. Johanna 6. Rhinononon 7. Rogamark 8. Salaxalans Pretend you’re sitting in a circle, so Wuufu is next to Darkweb and Johanna, and Salaxalans is next to Rogamark and King Platypus. I will message you assigning you your role and explaining it a little bit to you. Once everyone has their role we will begin with the first night round, in which, to give you a preview, the Demon and Minion will find out who each other are, the Demon will learn of three roles that are NOT in the game (to help them bluff), and potentially other people may be gaining some early information. No one will die this first night. I’ll be in touch with you shortly regarding your role. Of course at any time if you have any questions let me know!

IMPORTANT PLZ READ We will now begin the first Day. We will start off with just a discussion period, so everyone can get their bearings, and then in about 12 hours from now I will begin allowing nominations for executions. Just so you all know, this is how executions will go:
When nominations are allowed, any Alive player may may nominate any player by posting I Nominate... in the discord channel with the name of the person you're nominating (the underlined text is required. Put two underscores on either side of your message to make it underlined). Each player may only nominate once per day, and each player can only be nominated once per day.
Once a nomination has been made, we will begin voting as to whether that person is executed or not. This may be a little different from what you're used to. Starting with the person just below the nominated person on the list and going down I will assign a time. (So, for example, if King Platypus was nominated I could give Feirmont 1pm, Darkweb 2pm, Wuufu 3pm and so on. The exact times will vary.) All of you may register your vote at any time, by simply posting Aye (in favor of executing) or Nay (don't execute them). You may also change your vote at any time UNTIL YOUR ASSIGNED TIME PASSES. Once that time passes, I will take whatever your last official vote was and make that your vote that cannot be changed at all. (So in the above example Feirmont could change his vote several times but once 1pm hits whatever he said last will be his vote). If you do not say anything by when your time passes, I will count your vote as a Nay.
If the number of votes in favor equals or exceeds half the number of Alive players, the vote passes. Otherwise it does not. EITHER WAY another person may now be nominated, and voting proceeds as before. If multiple people are nominated and had at least half the number of Alive players vote to kill them, then whichever player got the most votes in favor of executing them is executed. Only one person can be executed per day, and you do not have to execute anyone if you do not want to.
One last note: Dead players lose their ability, but they can still participate in discussions and they get one (1) more Aye vote that they can use to vote to execute someone. But once they use that vote they cannot vote for the rest of the game, so keep that in mind!
And with that:
Day One
King Platypus - Alive
Feirmont - Alive
Darkweb - Alive
Wuufu - Alive
Johanna - Alive
Rhinononon - Alive
Rogamark - Alive
Salaxalans - Alive
