Non-Symmetrical Phase Lengths
I looked in the issue tracker and it does not appear that I can search the forum. Has there been discussion about different phase lengths for retreats and adjustments from orders? It seems like a great way to have good order negotiations while avoiding downtime for phases that don't need the additional time. This would allow something like 3 days orders and 1 day retreat/adjustment.

If targeted by the ghost the Elder will be informed that they were targeted by the Ghost. You win when Mafia and Ghost are destroyed.

1 Gelassenheit
You are Oracle. By day you vote for whom to lynch. The player who reaches Plurality will die. At night you select a living player. If you die that player will be revealed unless they are the ghost. You win when mafia and ghost are destroyed.

1 Night Watcher
You are the Watcher. By day you vote for whom to lynch. The player who reaches Plurality will die. At night you may select any living player. If that player is visited you will learn who visited them. You win when mafia and ghost are destroyed.


Mafia (2 Specialist + 3 goons):

1 Item Thief
You are Item Thief. By day you vote for whom to lynch. The player who reaches Plurality will die. At night twice this game you may select someone and steal an item from them. You may vote on who to kill, but you do not perform the night kill unless you are the last mafia member left alive. If that occurs you must perform the night kill and you will no longer be able to steal items. You win when town and ghost are destroyed.

1 Evil Elder (Ninja)
You are an Evil Elder.
By day you vote for whom to lynch. The player who reaches Plurality will die.
At night you may vote on who to kill. As the ninja you may perform the night kill and be immune from watcher (but not oracle) results; including items that function in a town investigative role. You win when town and ghost are destroyed.

3 Amish Mafia Goons.
You are a goon.
By day you vote for whom to lynch. The player who reaches Plurality will die. If the Ninja dies, the first vote on the targeted player will perform the night kill. If there is a tie then the deciding (last vote) will perform the night kill unless it is the item thief. You win when town and ghost are destroyed.


Third Party: Ghost *Gains Power through Haunting*
You are Ghost, By day you vote for whom to lynch. The player who reaches Plurality will die. At night you may haunt a player cursing an item and that player is haunted. Players will never learn if they are haunted until death. Any item cursed in this manner will malfunction. If a pitchfork is cursed - ghost will gain control of it and can target anyone with it. Ghost wins when all players are haunted.

1 Haunt: Specter: The Ghost gains the power of a Specter and cannot be seen on Watcher/Investigative Reports.
2 Haunt: Ethereal: The Ghost gains the power of a Ethereal and cannot be targeted by a night killing action.
3 Haunt: Wraith: The Ghost gains the power of a Wraith and when it visits a player all role actions and item actions malfunction (does nothing when used).
4 Haunt: Poltergeist: The Ghost gains the power of a Poltergeist and may use it’s malevolent energy to kill the player it haunts.

Hey all, I really respect the opinion of those who say they don't like the setup. That is fine and if you would rather not play in this then that is fine. This is an item madness game it is not vanilla, but the setup has been approved and worked out with HR (council). Again, thank you for the opinions all are welcome and if you don't want to play that is totally fine. For those that do, that's great and we will provide a really fun game, flavor, and I think it will be enjoyable for everyone to play.

By the way for users playing webdip mafia on a mobile device, I solved the *only 4 lines of text conundrum*.

Go to settings in the right corner

Click accessibility.

Make sure you select the force enable zoom feature.

Now you can post messages longer than 4 lines and scale the text to the size you prefer.

Diplomacy Strategy: Theatres of War
The Diplomacy game-board can be divided into six theatres of war, each of which is based on a historical front in the Great War. These theatres are the Western Front, Eastern Front, Italian Front, Middle Eastern Front, Balkan Front, and African Front. Each of them comprise various provinces on the game-board, and recognizing them can improve overall strategy . . .
