Observers are forbidden from giving any form of clues / hints / or [Kingdom Royale] related remarks to the players. While you are not forbidden from chatting casually or joke around (in moderation) in the game thread and each secret conversation chat rooms, it is highly probable that you might accidentally slipped some clues.

I highly recommend you to ask anything you do not understand privately to the moderator of the game instead of in either thread and chat rooms. Global forum rules apply. GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW Day and night cycle take twenty-four (24) hours each, counting from the start of the phase, unless it is unanimously voted to be ended early. Before the [Day Phase] end, each player may select another player to form a private chatroom for the night. Both players will then be transported into the private room, where they can talk, deal, scheme, or attempt to murder each other without anyone knowing. If a player fail to specify a person, it will default to "no chat" option. Each role has a different victory conditions. The game ends when all surviving players have met their victory condition. All players start with 10 HP. All players will recover 1 HP at the beginning of [Day Phase]. All players are given a knife, which can be used to [Stab] the other players regardless of roles. [Stab] may be done once per cycle, either day or night. Each [Stab] will reduce the remaining HP of the target by 5. Attacking with the [Stab] action during daytime will be announced to everyone, whereas attacking at night will only be announced to the target. However it can only be done to the attacker's conversation partner. You can schedule your [Stab] actions with conditional order. Roles will NOT be announced upon death. Nor will players be informed of their remaining HP. If four days have passed OR three players have been eliminated, sudden death will occur. During the sudden death, no HP will be regenerated. Possible Conditions for [Stab] Schedule [Stab] @ by the end of the [X Phase]. [Stab] @ at the beginning of the [X Phase]. [Stab] @ if @ using [Stab] on @. ROLESThere are six roles in the game, with different ability and victory conditions. [King] Spoiler: Narration He is the king who has ascended to the throne by assassinating the previous ruler and has carried out many invasions. Having a distrustful personality, he's scheming murder of the ones that threaten his throne. He does not notice that his distrust makes others lose their loyalty for him. He can request his subordinates to commit [murder], but he cannot force them because he fears their animosity could become directed at him. A land ruled by a man that cannot trust others is unlikely to have a bright future. Spoiler: Skills Skills of the [King] [Murder] He can select a player he wants to kill and request the [Sorcerer] or the [Knight] to execute this action. He does not need to select. [Murder] may only be activated once during the [Night Phase]. The target of [Murder] is annulled by the end of the [Night Phase]. [Substitution] He can once avoid being the target of [Assassination] by changing roles with [The Double] for a single day. If he was selected as the target on this day, [The Double] will die instead of the [King]. [Substitution] may only be activated during the [Day Phase]. Victory conditions for the [King] To protect his throne. (Elimination of the ones that threaten the king's throne [Prince] [Revolutionary] [Knight]) [Prince] Spoiler: Narration An ambitious person. He was originally only at the third place in the inheritance order of the king's rank. But taking advantage of the king's mistrust, he made him murder the other princes and moved up to the first place. He acquired anti-magic to guard himself against this mistrust. If he comes to the throne, this land is likely to turn into a worse dictatorship than it was before. Spoiler: Skills Skills of the [Prince] [Throne Succession] He becomes able to use [Murder] once the [King] and [The Double] die. [Anti-magic] He cannot be killed by [Sorcery]. In addition, he will be informed by the identity of the [Sorcerer] once [Sorcery] is used on him. Victory conditions for the [Prince] To become the king. (Elimination of [King] [The Double] [Revolutionary] [Knight]) [The Double] Spoiler: Narration An ex-farmer who is loyal to the [King] and looks exactly the same as him. He is not really ambitious, but he can absolutely not allow the [Prince] to become the king since he was always made a fool by him. If he, with no ideals, becomes the king, this land is likely to fall into ruin in no time. Spoiler: Skills Skills of [The Double] [Inheritance] If the [King] dies or [Substitution] was executed, he becomes able to use [Murder]. Victory conditions for [The Double] Death of the ones that try to kill him. (Death of [Prince] [Revolutionary]) [Sorcerer] Spoiler: Narration A subordinate of the [King]. He is the teacher of the [Prince] in magic and also gets on well with the [Prince]. He is satisfied as long he can pursue his studies in magic and has no interest in the king's throne whatsoever. No matter how much he can raise his magic skills, nobody will value a person that secludes himself in his shell. Spoiler: Skills Skills of the [Sorcerer] [Sorcery] He can choose whether to effectively kill the character that was selected by [Murder]. [Sorcery] may only be activated during the [Night Phase]. The targeted character will become a burnt corpse by the end of the [Night Phase]. Victory conditions for the [Sorcerer] To survive. [Knight] Spoiler: Narration A subordinate of the [King]. While being a subordinate, he is plotting revenge on the royal family for they have ruined his homeland. He believes firmly that he can only attain happiness by exterminating the royal family. As a matter of course, a man that has drowned in his own feelings of loss will only fall into the darkness of misfortune. Spoiler: Skills Skills of the [Knight] [Deathblow] He can choose whether to effectively kill the character that was selected by [Murder]. Only executable when the [Sorcerer] is dead. [Deathblow] may only be activated during the [Night Phase]. The targeted character will die due to beheading by the end of the [Night Phase]. [Fitness] Intense physical training is the requirement of being a knight. Gain 2 extra HP. Victory conditions for the [Knight] To take revenge. (Death of [King] [Prince]) [Revolutionary] Spoiler: Narration He is the right arm of the [King]. Because of his competence, he realized that this land is going to fall into ruin if it goes on like this. Hence, he prepared himself to take over the land. A ruler that has accumulated feelings of bitterness due to assassinations is incapable of leading a kingdom. At most he will be assassinated himself. Spoiler: Skills Skills of the [Revolutionary] [Assassination] He can assassinate the selected character. He does not need to select one. [Assassination] may only be activated during the [Night Phase]. The targeted character will become a strangulated corpse at the beginning of the [Day Phase]. Win conditions of the [Revolutionary] To become the king. (Murder of [King] [Prince] [The Double]) EXECUTION ORDER The target of [Murder] become a burnt or beheaded corpse by the end of [Night Phase] if applicable. The target of [Assasination] become a stragulated corpse at the beginning of the [Day Phase] if applicable. All players recover (or lose) 1 HP. Timed [Stab] is executed if applicable.
