About the Doctor

[Judge Sam]

Just quickly if you weren't at the live opening chat or forgot, one of you is a doctor.

The doctor can save people from Imprisonment. If the doctor saves you and the Spies choose to Imprison you, then instead you stay and no one is Imprisoned.

Please note that being saved differs from being Immune from Imprisonment. If you are Immune from Imprisonment, you cannot be selected by the Spies. The Spies will receive your name and be told they cannot pick you. The Spies will then pick someone else.

Whereas with a doctor and being saved, the Spies are not told who is saved, and do not get to pick someone else if they choose the person who is saved.

The 7 Spies are not allowed to select themselves for Imprisonment.

Additionally, the doctor is a citizen.

This is my fault for not making this clear.

Like a lot of mafia games, it starts on the "day" or "lynch" phase. So Exile 1 is the first event. I like to set it up so the cycle goes Imprisonment / Exile / Imprisonment / Exile as I think it's easier to think of that way. For the record, an "Episode" is a cycle of Imprisonment then Exile.


But there is no Imprisonment 1, because it would totally suck for someone to be eliminated 2 days into the game without having a chance to really play. As well as the Spies wouldn't have much to go on to choose. So the "first" Imprisonment is actually Imprisonment 2 - of Episode 2. So it goes [Exile 1] / [Imprisonment 2] [Exile 2] / [Imprisonment 3] [Exile 3] / etc.


Most roles are used before Imprisonment, then activated after Imprisonment. (Some roles have different deadlines. Check your own.) So you would submit your role action by posting a new thread in your confessional before Imprisonment starts. Then, after Imprisonment, I would put the role action into play.

So the first time you could use a role action would be before Imprisonment 2, and it would go into action after Imprisonment 2.
