Votes must be in poll to count; voting in thread is courteous but not necessary
Role-claiming, flavor-claiming and info-dumping allowed but NOT recommended…there is a soup kill in place.
If you get frustrated with another player, a game mechanic or just in general, please first reach out to me or the game's MoDs (TBA) at your earliest convenience.
Excessive Appeal to Emotion (AtE) is usually not warranted or helpful for a fun game state.
Do not Angleshoot. This amounts to using information outside the game to publically influence reads. If you think something might be angleshooting, it probably is.
This is the Host color. Please don’t, like, use it, dude
Have fun! This is supposed to be a whimsical game based on a ridiculous cartoon
All players have a number of limited-use abilities. If a player has multiple abilities, they may only use one per phase, unless otherwise noted (mafia factional kills are separate).
There is an 80-post limit per day. If a player goes over their limit, they will lose their vote and their role abilities for the cycle. If they do it again, they will be mod-killed. You have been warned.
There is no post minimum, but if you haven’t been active in a cycle I might reach out to see if you need a replacement.
Night 0 is only for abilities that utilize it. If your ability does not say it can be utilized on Night 0, it cannot be used then.
Each night via poll (including N0), players select a location to investigate. Each location corresponds to one respective monster (town), except for a small number- these locations give benefits to no monster. The following day, the selected location will be the focus of the day, sometimes bringing a day event. If the monster linked to that location is still in the game, they will also gain a boost to their main ability that cycle.
Once a player has died or a location has been chosen once, the matching location will also be removed from the poll.
There will be elements that some might consider “unconventional”, but note I will never lie to you. Role reveals will always be real. All roles have a number of abilities and most roles have an associated location that gives their role benefits. This is a role madness game.

Three years, six months and two days. That’s how long Marcie Fleach had spent oscillating between laundry duty, kitchen sanitation and mail sorting under the watchful eye of the prison guards. They rejected her request for the kitchen apprenticeship due to the large assortment of metal silverware.
Which- let’s be honest- was a far cry from the rollercoaster steel she had stolen to land her here in the joint. After all, she wasn’t Magneto. Where did they think she would go if she made a grand theft of oxidized dinner spoons?
If there was one person that sympathized with the banality and drudgery of the inmate experience, it was Marcie; or “The Manticore”, as her ‘friends’ called her. If she could even call them friends. She didn’t have many friends on the outside.
As the guard gave her her final possessions she had forfeit on her way into the clink, he gave her a once-over.
“You meeting anyone out there…Hot Dog Water?” The guard gave a smug smile. Marcie grimaced st the guard, and as a pointed answer, snatched her belongings and headed for the exit.
‘That was about right,’ she thought to herself. Somehow the guards found out her old nickname the losers at her old high school used to call her. It wasn’t even accurate- her mom told her she smelled like old roses, which isn’t a vast improvement over hot dog water, but it at least sounded sweeter.
The sun was shining brilliantly in the parking lot. She squinted to adjust to the light. Passing by a few visitors on a smoke break, she bummed a cigarette and enjoyed her first free cigarette in 3 years, 6 months and 2 days.
She was enjoying the feeling so much she didn’t notice the flower-pocked van easing up alongside on the curb. The window rolled down and a masculine voice called out, “Hey! You Marcie?”
She squinted again but couldn’t make out the speaker but as her eyes focused, she did a double take and jumped back in surprise. The occupant in the passenger seat was large and in shadow, but it definitely looked like…
“Earth to Marcie! You’re Marcie Fleach right?”
Yep, it sure seemed like that large dog was talking to her. Yep, she was definitely losing it. If she was losing her mind, she might as well run with it. What was there to lose anyway?
“Yeah, that’s me,” she shrugged to the large dog in the passenger seat. The dog didn’t seem like it was actually involved in this conversation. Maybe that was the driver talking- not the dog.
The side sliding door opened with a creak, forcing a cloud of what looked like smoke out of the van, and a younger woman poked her hand out.
“Wanna help us solve a mystery?”
Marcie only briefly hesitated before taking one more drag of her cigarette, flicking it off towards the prison, and climbing in.
It is now Night 0.
Please vote for a location to visit for Day 1. There is NO post limit for this night.
Kill this with fire (scrappy was always my lease favorite character growing up refused to watch anything with him in it 4 year old sig had an irrational hatred for scrappy) so in honor of baby sig
I can see why Confederate Mansion wouldn't be the most popular. I understand anything to do with the Confederates is controversial.
No need to explain further. It's all i need to know for this game.

On principle I will not be voting for us to visit the Confederate Mansion.
It's too bad that we can't refer to each place by a set of unique initials.

lmao I just voted Confederate Mansion first thing first
As for the poll I kind of want to go to “fun land” but since this is Scooby themed maybe something more like the abandoned whatevers is more appropriate
Usually the team splits up too
Oh god scrappy doo is the worst. Perhaps one of the most justifiably hated characters of all time
Yay game
Yep scrappy sucks. He is like every character they brought on late in a shows run to try to stretch the show out but failed. Think Oliver in the Brady bunch or Leo dicaprio in growing pains.

I'm voting llama again because I think I heard him say something that looks like proof.
As for the poll, I don't remember much other the main gang, the Scooby-Doo bus (which isn't listed) and the abominable snow man but a frozen mountain wouldn't sound good either.
Does anyone have any memory of these places?

why u wanna know? >.>
Maybe we could work out the vote that is best for town. Just clicked show results and it says votes won't be shown until it ends. Does that mean they will be revealed at the end and what's the point in this type of poll?

I think maybe funland was the abandoned amusement park that had a robot turning wverything on so quickly they thought it was a ghost?

I just know nobody reads the rules and I actually bothered this game (plus gotta 100% secure my ticket to GoC 2023 so expected a super duper semi kinda a bit serious sig)

I remember a handful, it looks like each area is a different episode the gang visited it’s all based off the OG show also minus scrabby

Funland definitely sounds like a name for an amusement park.

What an interesting gimmick to begin the game with. Are we actually gonna vote on a location or just yolo it like disjointed towns people?
Hi there, I'm Kate.

Splints is my ride or die this game idc how she flips, whay she does, who she kills.
She could claim mafia while being red checked and saying she was gonna lead a misvote on me and my hatred for scrappy will still burn brighter than all those things.
On a serious note, I 100% bet Scrabby is a third party role I’m thinking in like with the character from Rico’s Courage game awhile back. Basically a player posts as both themselves and scrabby.
Or if we wanna include movie verse then scrappy is a mafia member since in the first movie he was the main villain

Almost forgot how to quote here. Point of the poll is probably so you cant read into it during the day, also allows for mafia to manipulate the location without being caught.

I'm open to a discussion kinda like what Kate sort wants, except I'm not in the business of trying to figure out which monsters are for what location, bc I'm worried about soup
I _am_ willing to vote for someone's preferred location if all of town decides to tr someone and that person wants us to visit a specific location
