LeonardoTheMutant's Murder Mystery

Welcome to Murder Mystery!
The SRB2 interpretation of the popular multiplayer game!

• Murderer - A deadly criminal. Their job is to eliminate everyone.
• Sheriff - Tasked with finding and eliminating the Murderer(s).
• Civilian - Must avoid being killed and assist in identifying the Murderer. Depending on the game setup, they can obtain a Red Ring to defend themselves by collecting 100 rings (or 50 rings for certain skins).

About the gameplay situations

• If you die, you will enter the Dead state. Players in this state cannot respawn or communicate globally with players who are still alive. Their messages are visible only to other Dead players.
  You cannot chat with or send Personal Messages to still living players while you are Dead.
  Dying from map hazards such as crushers, falling into pits, or drowning in water will also make you Dead for the rest of the round.
  Also, DO NOT TRY TO RENAME YOURSELF WHILE DEAD. More details about this are on the next page.
  
• The Sheriff's job is to eliminate the Murderers, but be careful not to shoot a Civilian by mistake.
  If a Sheriff player shoots a Civilian, that player will lose their role and become a Civilian as a punishment. Another, randomly selected, Civilian player will then silently take on the Sheriff's role. Think before you pull the trigger!
• If a Murderer kills a Sheriff while there are still Civilians alive, the Sheriff's Emerald will drop near the corpse. When a Civilian picks up the Sheriff's Emerald, they become a Hero. Heroes are similar to Sheriffs but come with some differences:
  • If a Hero kills a Civilian, both die, and their role is not reassigned;
  • Heroes do not drop the Sheriff's Emerald upon death.
• In rounds with higher amount of players, there may be multiple Murderers and Sheriffs. Teams of Murderers and Sheriffs are formed for these rounds. Teammates can communicate using the SAYTEAM command in the console or by using the Team Chat (keyboard 'y' button). If you accidentally attack a teammate, both players will receive a personalized warning. Be careful - such team interactions may reveal your role to others!

Things to avoid in Murder Mystery

• Do not spoil your Role, even as a joke. While you can call out someone else's role if you are sure, never reveal your own.
• Avoid insulting other players. Friendly banter is fine, but constant accusations or hostile behavior will make others distrust you.
• Do not go AFK (Away From Keyboard). If you stand still too long, a bomb will be dropped on you, and you will be removed from the game.
• Do not rename yourself during a round if you are Dead. Doing so will result in being kicked from the server. If you are Dead, wait until the intermission to rename safely.
• Avoid camping around the Sheriff's EmeraldM if you are a Murderer. Standing near the emerald for 30 seconds will result in being kicked from the game.

Useful tips

• If character abilities are disabled by the admin, press SPIN to sneak silently without leaving traces or making noise.
• Picking up the Sheriff's Emerald grants you access to all the weapons and rings you previously collected.
• Use the Team Chat to coordinate actions with your teammates and avoid friendly fire.
• Take damage from obstacles like lava, spikes, or fire to gain a brief 3-second invincibility.
• Find hiding spots on the map to avoid detection. Sometimes it is better to stay out of sight.
• If your role is leaked, rename yourself and/or change your skin color. Keep in mind that your rename will appear in chat.
• Use the FIRENORMAL button to wield the Knife anywhere, as long as you have rings. Sneaking while using a Knife ensures your attack is silent.
• Use the MMLANG command to change the language of the HUD interface to your preferred language.
