(play on words, get it?)

This original game is something you and your friends can play when you're bored. Here's how it is:

Setup:
4 players or more

Each player will recieve a pm of one role.

How to Play:
Each player will get one role whispered to them: How to Win:
 * Author
 * Tries to find out who the Workers and the Publisher are/is. They need to come up with a way to survive the rounds. After 5 minutes of play, the round will end. At the end of the round, everyone will have the chance to vote someone out. The voted off person is also kicked out of the game. If the game may still progress, another round will begin.
 * Publisher
 * There can be only one. The publisher needs to keep secret. He's the king of the hill. His goal is to get his workers to assassinate the authors until he and his workers are the remaining people of the game. The Publisher will instantly lose if he's voted out or killed, resulting in an immediate win to Authors.
 * Workers
 * Works for the publisher. The workers must work together to come up a way to kill the authors. This can be creative, but not overly complicated. Here are some common ways to do so. Once a decision is made, tell the host.
 * Wordplay. Pick a 4 letter word which, once said, kills the author.
 * Assassination. After you say something, and someone says something, and you post consecutively after, they are killed. You must say: Assassinated. For example:
 * Player 1: Hi
 * Player 2: Hola!
 * Player 3: Assassinated.
 * It won't work if it goes like this:
 * Player 1: Hi
 * Player 2: Hola!
 * Player 3: Como Estas?
 * Player 1: Assassinated.
 * ^ all this example does is reveal you, and it does not kill the author.

Authors all win if all Workers are assassinated and/or the Publisher is found.

Workers win if all Authors are dead.

The Publisher wins if his workers win, OR he's the last one standing.

Optional Roles:

 * Executive
 * The Executive is told at the end of the round who is being voted off. He has the power to veto the vote, and will cancel out the entire vote. He's an author.
