Here are the current rules:

Here is the (current) list of possible roles:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Definitions:
    Doppelganger: These foul creatures kill and eat humans, taking on all of their memories and abilities. Once they have a form, most doppelgagners cannot change again. They are a flawed species, and possess and uncontrollable bloodlust forcing them to kill and eat humans each night. Their goal is to destroy all of the humans in the town and make their way out into the larger world.
    Night Kill: Any kill that happens during the Night Phase. The Doppelgangers and Cultists each get 1 Night Kill as a group, in addition to any allowed by Roles.
    Morningkill: A morning kill happens between the night and day phase, and cannot be prevented by abilities that prevent night kills. (Such as the Guardian)
    Abduction: When a player abducts another player, two things happen. First, the abducted player is role-blocked for the night. Second, that player is removed from play for that night (and possibly the game). While removed, they cannot be the target of any other night action and cannot vote or be lynched during the day. Exceptions: The Paranoid War Vet and Sentry Gun are not role-blocked by an abduction, and will kill the player attempting the abduction. Abducted players are not role-flipped until their abductor leaves the game.



I've written a perl script to pick roles and whatnot randomly. It has some rules that it follows, but it should make for a nice amount of randomness to the set-up. Note that while I'll generally just go with whatever it spits out, I may make modifications to the set-up in order to make a more interesting game or to test out a specific feature. Also note that I will intentionally mess or not mess with stuff just to screw up anyone depending on the Gambler's Fallacy.

Not all roles are guaranteed. In fact, it's quite possible to have a game with nothing but normal doppelgangers and humans.


General Rules:

  Feel free to ask for clarification on any rule.

 It was a small town. Far from the horrors that beset the rest of the world. Hidden. Isolated. A perfect place to think, or to hide.

 But recently things have begun to go wrong. An accident involving two semis closed down the bridge. Then people began dying. People would vanish, with nothing but pools of blood to show where they died. And four strange, leathery pods were found in the abandoned mine.

 Panic set in. Many people left, trying to ford the river or leaving in makeshift rafts. How many survived that perilous attempt? No one knows, but from the bodies that you did find at least a few didn’t make it.

 Now there are just a handful of you left. You’ll have to work together to find these monsters and kill them before they kill you.




Day 1 has begun! Day will go until ~5pm Pacific Monday.

You're scum. All scum. But most particularly Org. Tell me, why shouldn't we lynch you Day 1?

A few questions for others while I'm at it:
  • Pandarsenic, if you were a Heroic Guard and knew nothing who would you absolutely protect with your life? Who would you absolutely not?
  • Book, which alien do you think would be most interesting to play? (Also, I now think of Shepard Book anytime I see your name...)
  • Ottofar, why do you think I picked these three people to question?

Boo.

Argembarger, you were scum in two games out of three I played with you (IIRC). What did you learn about playing as scum?

PPE: Damn ninjas.

Booook, I got the impression in Supernatural 3 that the lessons you were going to take from the town loss were to be more irrationally paranoid about everything. If that's not the case, what did you take away from that game?

Toaster, are you a third party killing role again? Or are you scum this time? Because everybody knows you're never town.

Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, Jokerman's back on the playing side. It's weird not having a tab open with everyone's role and alignment for any time I forget.

Dariush, if you were scum, and you were being called out, would you fakeclaim to save yourself? Or would you push someone else's lynch?

Vote Janustwoface. He's scum. The automatic attack on everyone enters the game as a joke, rendering any point he makes as moot.

HOLY SHIT I'VE BEEN VOTED. OMGUS TIME. JOKERMAN.

I would push someone's lynch unless I have sufficient time and knowledge to prepare a convincing claim. I vastly overestimated my ability in Sorcerer's Apprentice, with disastrous results, so I certainly will try and evade that mistake next time.

Jim:  Sadly, Meph's script broke down and made me town this time.

However, it did make me a Kook, so that's something.


Leafsnail:  If you were a xenozoologist, what criteria would you use to capture someone N1?  Would you seek help from the town?  If so, when?

Uhhh, right.

So let's say you are a Kook. Why'd you pick claiming openly on Day 1 over claiming privately to someone you think is town, or just keeping it a secret? Why'd you pick that particular Kook claim strategy?

Hello, Argembarger.  If you were scum, who would you randomvote?

Leafsnail:  If you were a xenozoologist, what criteria would you use to capture someone N1?  Would you seek help from the town?  If so, when?
If they look like scum, abduct them.  Better chance of getting an alien or doppelganger that way, no?

I'd seek help from the town if I only needed one more and they'd found one of that type.

@Jim: Claiming kook day one is pretty much correct play now that it's a trait rather than a role.  It a) stops cops from wasting claims, and b) stops doppelgangers from weaseling their way out of a lynch later.

Janus: Hard to read?

I don't really know.
But.

MBP, what tech would you pick as
a) Military Scientist
b) Cutting Edge Scientist
c) Intelligence Scientist?

Book,
as the exterminator, which techs would you pick?

And Toaster, that makes two of us.

I know that. I also didn't do it when I was a kook. And while that is an ideal situation, it frequently turns out that Day 1 Kook claimers get voted to hell by hardheaded idiots.

I also want to know what Toaster thinks, which was more the point of the question, since there are a variety of ways to handled the kook claim, some better than others.

And Toaster, that makes two of us.

Well, that's interesting.
