Game Objective:
The game objective is to either eliminate the opposing faction (team/alliance), or simply  Unique.

How to Play (Quickstart):
Traitors are rumored to plot against the castle: Players must discover who has committed treason through abilities and social discussions, deducting clues and eliminating the opposite faction before they murder you at night. Neutral faction objectives generally just require them to  Unique (they win when another faction wins, if alive at the end)

At night, bad players (The Black Rose/The Cult/Neutral factions) will generally murder or disrupt the good players (The Blue Dragon faction): These players can murder other players at night by use of night abilities. The Cult and The Black Rose factions will be able to talk at night - they also know who each other are, unlike other factions.

At night, the good players (The Blue Dragon faction) will attempt to either investigate, defend or support others, with a select few being able to kill. They will attempt to determine who is friend and foe while investigating to discuss in the morning. Most good players at night will not be able to talk to each other at night. This faction does not know who the others are, or if they are friend or foe - however, their quantity is higher.

During the day, players discover who was murdered the previous night and discuss clues as to who may be an enemy faction to accuse of treason. During the day phase, players may also use day abilities to interrupt discussion, although day abilities are usually weak. Players can accuse others of treason during the day to vote for their execution

Through both day and night,

Note: Some special classes may have exceptions to this or their own objectives, entirely.

This guide will be easier to read if you review our Vocabulary (or if you are already familiar with Werewolf/Mafia.Every class will be given two types: Some types may impact abilities, but for the most part, this is more of a short summary to figure out what each class does without actually reading their abilities: There are 4 factions:
 * 1) Defensive = Abilities will generally defend yourself
 * 2) Healer = Abilities will heal others or prevent them from dying
 * 3) Killer = Ability to kill others offensively
 * 4) Offensive = Abilities will be aimed at specific players, classes and types - can kill, but less common
 * 5) Investigative = Abilities to investigate others, revealing clues to their class/faction/types
 * 6) Social = Sociopaths, manipulating chat or the way communication is perceived
 * 7) Special = Unique classes, such as The King or The Mastermind, not falling into a specific category
 * 8) Support = Can support others, such as  Occupying  or defending others
 * 9) Wildcard = They truly only benefit themselves and you don’t know what to expect
 * 1) Blue Dragon (Good): Their objective is to defeat the Black Rose
 * 2) Black Rose (Bad): Their objective is to defeat the Blue Dragon
 * 3) Neutral: Their objective is to either  Unique  or complete their own objective
 * 4) Cult: Their objective is to do defeat all other factions. They don't always appear in games.
 * Before a game begins, every player can choose a temporary alias (name) or allow for a randomized name.
 * All players are assigned to anonymous classes - no one knows what each other's class is.
 * Some types will show as "Random "
 * To allow for deduction, the list of classes will be present in Standard Mode, but you still don't know who is what class.
 * The Black Rose faction is the exception: They know who other Black Rose faction members are.
 * There will always be The King, randomly (and privately) assigned to a faction.
 * If The King dies, a vote will arise to take his place. Nobles can step forward to bypass this event and become The King.
 * Every game will have The Mastermind class (Black Rose faction ), which can "recruit" members to the Black Rose faction.
 * Whenever The Mastermind converts a player, if not  Immune, they will become a mirrored class to their current one, with similar abilities.
 * Every class will have 2 "class types", indicating the aim for each class.
 * Example: "Investigator" type will obtain clues, while a "Killer" type will offensively kill others.
 * Every player will get a private journal to log events or take notes, becoming public after your death.
 * Every "Killer" type will get a deathnote to use the blood of their victims to draw pictures (with your mouse) to taunt the living.
