MU

Murder, otherwise known by the acronym MU, is a game mode in item asylum. Players must work together and solve the mystery of a murderer amongst them.
__NOTOC__
==Overview==
Players are given one of three roles, being Innocent, Sheriff and Murderer. There will always be one Murderer and one Sheriff, with all other players being Innocent. Each role has its own stipulations and objectives, though the shared goal across them all is survival. The base duration of any round is 4 minutes and 10 seconds (250s) and is increased by 15 seconds each time the Murderer kills a player.
===Innocent===
Innocents are not granted any items and/or abilities upon starting. Their main objective is to survive by whatever means available.
===Sheriff===
The Sheriff will be given either a mad sheriff or mad handgun. Their objective is to eliminate the murderer and protect the Innocents. Upon death, they will drop their weapon for other players (excluding the Murderer) to pick up. Shooting an innocent player will take the Sheriff down along with the victim.
===Murderer===
The Murderer will be given one of few melee weapons along with a massive attack multiplier of x51. Their objective is to survive and eliminate the rest of the players without exposing their identity.
The weapons the Murderer may receive are limited to:
*axe
*comically large knife
*hat of discipline
*killer fish from san diego
*mad murderer
*spy
*vampirism
*your eternal reward
*jeffthekillermain
In addition to their weapon, they will also be granted sense and one of four available abilities: 
*shift
*cloak
*bear traps
*sprint
While holding their weapon, the Murderer will be granted +4 speed. Additionally, if they have not killed a player in at least a minute, they will emit a black aura, giving away that they are the Murderer. Killing a player will rid them of the smoke and reset the timer.
If the Murderer starts with vampirism, then they will not have a damage boost. Instead, the first person that dies to them will be infected into another Murderer with vampirism. Players that are killed after the infection of the second Murderer will simply die. If the Murderer latches onto a player with a firearm with vampirism, then the firearm will be dropped.
Winning as the Murderer in a server with at least 12 players will award the "devious little fella" badge.
===Jester===
The Jester is a rare role that is granted a melee weapon similar to the murderer, but cannot attack with it. Their goal is to be shot by the sheriff in order to win. Being shot by the sheriff will treat the sheriff as if they shot an innocent, killing them due to Guilt.
===Clues===
Certain objects around the map are turned into Clues at random intervals, happening more frequently with more players in the server. Clues always appear as solid green with a white outline, and players can collect them by simply walking up and interacting with them. Collecting clues will reward the player will additional points at the end of the round, though they also serve a use for certain roles. An innocent player can collect 5 clues to obtain a firearm and the "2nd amendment right" badge, while the Murderer may collect clues in order to use their abilities. Sheriffs have no incentive to collect clues other than points and gatekeeping the Murderer from using abilities.

===Outages===
Through the use of power boxes found around the map, the lights can be disrupted, limiting the vision of all players and shrouding the place in thick, black fog. Power boxes can be repaired to restore lighting after they have been sabotaged. Only the Murderer can sabotage power boxes, though any player can repair them.

==Trivia==
*The clue system originates from the old Garry's Mod Murder game mode.
*Death effects, item sound effects and their properties still apply in the mode. As such, effects like axe's dismemberment and even killer fish from san diego's blinding image will still work on the victim.
**This was the same case prior to v1.3.0, where virtually any melee item was obtainable as the Murderer's weapon, though smile could not be merged with.
*It is possible to shoot other players without dying. This can be done by shooting them after the murderer dies or the round ends.
*Formerly, upon a player's death, a tombstone would appear in place of their corpse.thumb This was scrapped in the testing stages.
*You can know if you are a Murderer before your role is revealed simply by looking at your attack multiplier, if it is x51 then you are the Murderer.
**This is true even if you are given vampirism - the game will correct itself and drop your multiplier back down to x1 only after you are given the weapon.
*The jester role is a reference to the role with the same name in Town of Salem
