Congratulations! You have graduated from the prestigious Hope's Peak Academy, and have been accepted and given a scholarship to attend the even more prestigious Hope's Peak University! This was just an offer you surely could not refuse! A public assembly in Town Square will be taking place to honor the new freshman class of Hope's Peak University!
"Hello, I am the Mayor of this wonderful town! Welcome to Zetsubou City, where everyone's wildest dreams come true..."
"Is what I'd like to say, but shortly after everyone got settled in, I got some bad news. A good few of you have some very dark secrets within you, and... somebody nearby has hired a hitman to kill all of the ones they deemed... unworthy of living."
"Unfortunately, there's no escape, because the police has locked down the city due to the mastermind's demands. Further, this mastermind has requested that justice be left entirely with all of you. That's right, until the mastermind is satisfied or the hitman has been arrested, this city will be inaccessible to the outside world and the police will be helping with no criminal investigations around the city. However, all of you have free reign of the city until this ends. Here, you'll need a map."

(NOTE: There will be no official map, because I am not a very artsy person, however if one of you would like to take on the task, I will be willing to place it in this post. Also, every area is accessible from the beginning of the game.)
Hope's Peak University -- A large university in the center of Zetsubou City. It has everything a student needs to succeed, from several small classrooms, to a large library, to study rooms, to a gym, and computer labs. There's even a school store, but they won't sell a lot of stuff that you wouldn't need for class. Located in Town Square.
Pawn Shop -- A shop that sells oddities and random things. A good few weapons could be found here by an industrious Hitman... Located on Charlie Dr.
Coffee Shop -- Paradise for some, this shop sells an assortment of snacks and mostly caffeinated drinks. Located on 1st St.
MacDespair's -- A fast food chain selling some of the best and cheapest food you'll ever know. Located on 2nd St.
Hospital -- For when somebody gets REALLY hurt. There's also a morgue here. Located on Alpha Rd.
Security House -- A special building where members of security are. Defenders are here during their spare time, and Hackers can also come here to investigate security cameras around town. Each building has a set of security cameras, and each acts as its own room for scanning and in-depthing. Other than those two groups, all are barred entry, except to the especially skillful or in certain situations. Located on 3rd St.
Apartments -- For some reason, Hope's Peak University does not have any dorms. However, every student is provided an apartment in an off-campus complex. Located on Bravo Pkwy.
Town Square -- The center of town, where events and the Hunts will be held. There's a road surrounding it called the Zetsubou Beltway.
Roads -- There are six roads, three going straight from Zetsubou Beltway, and three connecting them. The three going from the Beltway are 1st St, 2nd St, and 3rd St. 1st and 2nd Sts are connected by Alpha Rd, 2nd and 3rd Sts are connected by Bravo Pkwy, and 3rd and 1st Sts are connected by Charlie Dr.
Construction Zones -- There are four construction zones around town. Nobody knows what they could be used for...
Supermarket -- A large store with many household items, however, not many weapons or dangerous items can be sold here to just anyone. Located on 1st St, past the Coffee Shop.
Time for the Rules! This game has a few special rules, and to start, most School Regulations, other than the rule about 2 max kills per round and the rule about body discovery announcements, are considered inactive. Also, some businesses and the University will close at night, while others will remain open.
Players will be grouped into three groups, being the Hitman, Targets, and Innocents. The goal of the game for the Hitman is to kill all Targets, but the Hitman also does not know the identities of the four Targets. The goal of the Targets is to survive. The goal of the Innocents, except in the case of those with the Defender skill, is to find and arrest or kill the Hitman. Innocent Defenders win with the Innocents, but only if they died in the place of a Target.
Other changes and roles are listed below.
All Defenders will receive a list of two Targets at the start of the game. They are free to do with this information as they wish to facilitate their victory. This list will also be randomized, meaning two Defenders may end up with the exact same list or exact opposite lists. The Hitman will not receive a list if he is a Defender, in order to balance the game, but a Targetted Defender will, and the list can include himself.
There can be a maximum of four Targets, but only if there are enough players to balance this correctly. Also, every Target will be informed that they are a Target.
If we reach 10 players, the Seer Innocent role will be unlocked. One player will be designated as the Seer in the beginning of the game. Once during the game, the Seer can choose to in-depth their own apartment and choose one person to gain a premonition of. They will then receive a hint as to which group they are located in.
If we reach 16 players, the Vigilante Innocent role will be unlocked. The Vigilante will receive a handgun, and once, during any Results, can choose to murder another person. If the target is the Hitman or the final Target, the game will end immediately, otherwise, the game will continue. If the Vigilante manages to get away with the murder, they will receive a MC bonus at the end of the game. However, at the end of the trial, if the Vigilante murdered a Target, they will commit suicide during the next Deadly Life.
NOTE: The Hitman will be receiving MC at the end of the game regardless of win or loss, assuming that at least one Target has died. However, the reward for winning is much greater than the one for killing even 3 Targets.
I will update this if I have forgotten anything, or if anything is added mid-game. Sign-ups will be posted shortly.
