Show
Teams and victory conditions
Players are either part of the White team (Town), the Black team (Wolf), or are Grey (Neutral).
Players who commit murder become blackened. Becoming blackened does not make you join the Black team. Players are always informed when they are blackened. Becoming blackened is irreversible.
The game ends when at least one of three conditions is met :
Every member of the Black team is dead, resulting in a White team victory,
Half of the remaining living players are members of the Black team, resulting in a Black team victory, or
Every remaining player is blackened, resulting in a Black team victory.
The game may be cut short if one of those situations becomes unavoidable.
If both teams should win, only the Black team wins.
Each Grey player have their own victory conditions depending on their role.
The narrator is known as Monokuma. Monokuma enforces the spirit of the rules and avoid lying, but will still side with the Black team most of the time.
Ultimate talents and actions
Every player has an unique Ultimate talent (or role) that gives them various abilities to use during the game.
Grey and Black player have an additional unique Grey or Black talent, respectively.
During each phase, players can use the actions described in their Ultimate talent(s) in addition to the regular actions described in those rules. Non-actions abilities are used automatically.
Most actions can be canceled, blocked, redirected or traced by other actions or by non-action abilities.
Canceling prevents the action from occurring and any other effects from interacting with it, but you will always be informed if one of your actions is canceled. Canceling is always resolved first.
Redirecting takes effect before blocking and changes the target(s) of an action.
Blocking prevents the action from having any effect without preventing it from being traced.
Tracing allows the tracer to learn information about the action. Wich information is learnt depends of the tracing action. Some tracing actions may occur on later phases than the traced action.
If an Ultimate talent contradict the general rules, it supercedes them.
Private chats
A discord server will be opened to establish a wolfchat, a deadchat, and other private chats based on roles. Everyone will have a private chat with the narrator on Discord to receive their roles, take notes and secretly communicate actions. No other private communication is allowed.
Due to the existence of revival abilities, you may not immediatelly be invited in the deadchat upon your death.

Deadly life phases are followed by trial phases.
Regulations and punishment
Regulations are permanent. They either alter the rules or allow Monokuma to punish players who misbehave. Regulations are not retroactive.
As a daily life (night) action, Monokuma can punish a player who violated any regulation at any point. Attempting to cancel, block or redirect this action will instead redirect it on you. Monokuma's victims can't be revived or investigated.
Vote
As a trial action, each player can publicly vote for another player to be executed.
Your vote should be made in bold red.
The player with the most votes is taken out at the end of the trial. In the case of a tie, Monokuma chooses wich of the tied players is executed.
A vote tally will be made public. This tally is made before vote manipulation actions are taken into consideration.
You can redirect or cancel your vote by voting again. Editing a previous vote has no effect.
When a player is executed, their team affiliation and Ultimate talent are immediately revealed.
Hanging out
As an action in any phase, each player may make hangout plans that will be enacted in the next daily life phase.
Your hangouts declarations should be made in bold green.
You can hang out in a location by declaring the name of that location. The possible hangout locations are the cafeteria, the lounge and the gym.
You can hang out with a specific player by declaring their name. However, if that player end up sulking, you will also be sulking.
Players who made no hangout declarations will hang out in the same location as they did in the previous daily life phase.
Players who declare sulking, make an invalid declaration or end up alone in their hangout location are all sulking. Sulking players don't join any hangout location.
You can redirect or cancel your hangout plans by making new ones.
Investigation
As a deadly life action, each player can conduct an investigation by declaring publicly what they want to focus on. They can investigate the crime scene of a body that was announced at the start of the phase, the alibis of players in a hangout location, or the whereabouts of any Ultimate talent they can name.
Your investigation declarations should be made in bold blue.
As a deadly life action, players may disrupt the investigation they declared instead by informing the narrator on their private chat. This will block all investigations of the declared target for this phase.
When investigating a crime scene, you trace the killing action and you randomly learn the hangout location of the killer or the name of their Black talent, unless they were sulking or your investigation was disrupted.
When investigating alibis, you trace the daily life action(s) of a random player hanging out in the chosen location and learn the name(s) of their target(s), unless your investigation was disrupted.
When investigating the whereabouts of an Ultimate talent, you trace their daily life action associated with that talent and randomly learn their hangout location or the name of their target, unless they did no action associated with that talent, they were sulking, or your investigation was disrupted.
When several players conduct the same investigation, they will always learn different information from each other if possible.
You can redirect or cancel your investigation by declaring a new one.
