Long ago, when mammoths were still alive, children did not dream, and adults wished to return to childhood — Terror reigned in their minds at night, and there was no escape from it. It drove many insane, and some simply never woke up one day out of fear. This continued for long centuries until one day a kind sorceress appeared from hopes and dreams. She fought the Terror and sealed it in the darkest depths of the world of Dreams. On that day, adults were freed from fear, and children experienced a magical adventure beyond reality for the first time.
The Fairy did not remain alone for long — having been rid of the Terror, the magical world of sleep quickly filled with many unusual creatures, both good and evil. Nightmares, born from memories of the Terror, were much weaker than it, and their thoughts were not marked by such cruelty and bloodthirstiness. The Dreams, worrying for the children, set a goal to protect their sleep from the Nightmares, and eventually, there was no place for the evil creatures in the Kingdom of Dreams. The Fairy ruled her country wisely and justly. Everything was peaceful, and sometimes she left the borders of her kingdom to help children and teenagers in waking life. Meanwhile, her assistants created new dreams, competing with each other in color and joy. This continued for many centuries...
Arachna had wondered all her life why the dreams considered her hideous. She always knew about jewelry, followed fashion, and knew how to present herself with taste, but for some reason, no one was impressed. Even now, she thoughtfully toyed with her web, admiring herself in a huge mirror.
- How beautiful I am after all, - the spider-woman smiled, curving coquettishly. – Simply a miracle. If I were a handsome prince, I would marry myself, - she chuckled. – It's a pity that these foolish dreams have no idea what a true lady should look like. Am I right? – she addressed her reflection.
The reflection nodded approvingly.
- So, - Arachna began to rise toward the ceiling, gracefully moving all eight legs, - I am a beauty, and that is a fact. I am not appreciated, and that is a fact. Moreover, it's not just me who isn't appreciated. Take poor Monstie, he is terribly upset that children are afraid of him; he practically won't come out from under the bed. Or Little Witch. Once she was quite pretty (not as beautiful as I am, of course), but those ungrateful people only made up all sorts of nonsense about her. I should think of my friends too. Right?
The reflection smiled, nodding animatedly.
- You understand me like no one else, darling. I hope they will understand me too. It's time to show these Dreams that we are not a bit worse, and that we can be loved too, - Arachna shook her head and crawled along the ceiling toward a tall door. – Wish me luck, - she waved to her reflection one last time.
It made an approving gesture and waved back.
The Fairy felt uneasy in her soul. She sat in her magical garden, but an ominous silence reigned there — the flowers did not sing, the elves did not flutter, the fluffies had hidden in hollows and burrows. Only an ominous rumbling could be heard from somewhere below. Suddenly the earth shook so hard that an old squirrel's nest fell straight onto the Fairy's head. An anxious premonition stung the sorceress, and, riding the wind, she rushed to a gorge known only to her in the distant mountains. To her horror, she discovered that the heavy chains were broken, and the gates that had locked away the Terror for millennia were torn out along with chunks of rock. Without stopping, the Fairy raced back to the palace, summoning everyone-everyone-everyone to a council on the way...
- Dad, the queen is calling, let's go, - Kitten nudged his furry side with his nose.
- What could possibly happen? – Cat opened one yellow eye and looked at his son. – We've been living our lives for Fairy knows how long... Probably another order regarding the colorfulness of dreams and so on. That's not for us. We create deep, dreamless sleeps when children need to rest well and calm down.
- Dad, this could be important! How do you know?
- If it's important, that's a different matter. But sooner or later the news will spread throughout the Kingdom, and people have long been used to my absence.
- If you don't want to, I'll go alone!
- Fine, go. But be careful and don't do anything stupid.
- Come on dad, I'm almost an adult!
Cat only smirked into his whiskers. When his son ran off to his first adult errand, Bayun Senior yawned sweetly, sharpened his claws on an oak tree, and set out for a morning walk. Of course, he took the queen's call more seriously than he showed his son, but firstly, the cat hated large gatherings, and secondly, he expected to find out everything from the omnipresent elves and fluffies, and his calculation was correct — by the time Kitten returned, the little gossips had told Bayun about both Arachna's plan and the Terror's escape. Cat listened distantly to his son's story and once again advised him to be careful — even he didn't risk dealing with the Terror. However, Cat formed his own opinion about the other events.

A bit about the Mage Guild :)

The MG is always right.
If the MG is not right, see point 1.
The MG is Drakkoshka. For distorting the nick to something like "Drakoshka" or similar, the entire side the offender played for will be modkilled on the spot with particular cruelty.
Balance and game mechanic edits are possible strictly before roles are distributed; after that, clarifications and additions may occur, but existing rules will not change. Disputed situations are resolved by the MG at their own discretion using a coin, a random number generator, and Davrosova's grandmother.
Night Actions (NA) are sent to the MG personally via any available means of communication. If you have not received confirmation, there is no guarantee that I have accepted your NA; please be attentive.

Code of Conduct

The night lasts from the end of the day until the next newspaper is written. NAs are accepted until 17.00; polls, gifts, writing notes, and status changes are until 12.00 (can be sent during the game day). The newspaper is published between 18.00 and 23.00 depending on the complexity of the paper and the MG's free time. If all NAs are sent earlier, I may make an exception on weekends and publish the newspaper sooner. Writing in the game thread at night is forbidden. All times are given according to Moscow time zone.
Please note that when distributing roles, I may take into account people's availability and time zone differences. Players who cannot play as Norushka or the Fairy Godmother due to time constraints must write to me about this strictly in private before roles are distributed, and I will exclude them from the distribution. This doesn't work out very well, of course, and I apologize to the players for such a mess; I hope for your honesty. It is recommended to use this only in the absolute same extreme case when it is truly impossible to carve out a few minutes anywhere.
The day lasts 24 hours from the moment the newspaper is published. Depending on the MG's free time, the day may officially close later, but votes sent after the day's closing time are not counted. The interval between the same day's closing and the publication of voting results is considered night.
Discussing the current game outside the thread is only allowed when you have a role that permits it, and only where it is permitted to do so.
The dead cannot write in the game thread, even in deleted posts. Also, corpses are forbidden from revealing any information obtained via their role. Revealing one's own role is also undesirable, even if everyone has already guessed. For violations, the entire team of the dead will be punished.
It is forbidden to explicitly reveal your own role, the roles of other players known due to role characteristics, as well as information obtained via a role. It is permitted to shout without argument "he's mafia, I'm town!". For revealing and explicit hints equivalent to it, the entire team will be punished.
Bets are forbidden.
Editing your messages is highly undesirable. Correcting a couple of typos, adding a bold tag, or slightly reformulating a thought is allowed, but making significant semantic changes is forbidden.
Execution is formatted in bold as "execute username". Cancellation of execution is formatted in bold as "do not execute username". The form of execution may be slightly altered within reasonable limits. Canceling the previous vote is optional.
Clues are given for fairy tale characters chosen from a list based on Wikipedia articles, but information from other sources may be used. A hint about the role of the killed person is provided.
NAs must be sent every night as long as you are alive. If you do not want to use an NA this night, write so to the MG to avoid unnecessary problems.
The mafia makes decisions collectively. If one of the mafia players is absent, their NA can be sent on their behalf.
A modkill or player replacement occurs in case of a gross violation of rules or total absence of signs of life during game days (day and night). Also, a modkill/replacement may happen at the request of the player.
First-night immunity is granted to:
- The MG of the previous game.
- Those who have not previously played on ХВ.
- Those killed on the first night in the previous game.
- Those who missed three or more games on ХВ.

This is just a game. And if you weren't killed by mafia/maniac/day vote/evil MG, they will definitely do it later. All that's left for you is to relax and enjoy yourself.

[/LIST]

Game Rules

The mafia can perform no more than three NAs per night, of which no more than one killing action.
One player cannot apply more than one NA per night, except in agreed cases.
The actual number of votes is displayed next to the player who should be executed. In other cases, a number corresponding to the quantity of players voting in the thread is displayed.
NAs cannot be directed at oneself except in specified cases, but can be directed at members of one's own team. All NAs that are used once every N nights must recharge for N-1 nights after use.
To execute a player, more than half of the votes from the current number of players must be gathered.
Failed kills are not displayed regardless of the reason for their failure.
The block of an unblockable role (including those who performed their NAs before the blocker) is displayed as usual.
The charge of an ultimate action remains if it was thwarted due to a block. An ultimate action partially thwarted by a block is considered to have occurred. In particular, if Arachne tries to recolor a white/black aura, her UA charge is spent.
A sleeping player does not participate in the game by day or night, but the same actions can be performed on them as on a living one (except for notes and polls). Sleeping players are not counted when calculating votes, but as long as there is at least one role capable of waking them, they are considered alive.
It is forbidden to reveal your nick in a note or describe the events of the current night.
First-night immunity extends to putting to sleep.
In the case of Arachne changing status, the victim finds out about it at the end of the night. When answering questions, the new status is considered true starting from the next night.
Arachne's redirection can send an action to anyone except the sender themselves. Putting to sleep is redirected only to those awake; waking up - only to those sleeping.
Poll conditions: two answers are truth, one is a lie, order is random, but answers to the MG must be unambiguous. No more than one question about profile content, no more than two questions about specific roles (image, description, characteristics/actions, status), no more than two questions about side; other questions are forbidden. The same set of questions cannot be given more than once; questions with the same meaning cannot be given in one interview (for example, you cannot ask "are you on Arachne's team?" and "are you on the nightmares' side?", but you can ask "are you on Arachne's team?" and "do you live under the bed?"). The original nick of the person polled and an "obliterated" interview are written in the newspaper.
Victory conditions:
- Dreams: Nightmares and Terror are destroyed.
- Nightmares: Dreams, Kot-Bayun, and Terror are destroyed.
- Kot-Bayun: Terror is destroyed, others are destroyed or sleeping (except for the Fairy Godmother).
- Terror: Dreams, Nightmares, and Kot-Bayun are destroyed.
