Day Phase: 10 days for day 1, 7 days after that. Night Phase 2 days
48 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement.
Respect everyone's basic humanity. Do not be an asshole to people. Don't be a racist or sexist or really any other -ist. Respect other players displayed pronouns.
Have fun. This is not an option. Games are only good when players are having fun. If you are not having fun, replace out. There is no shame in this. I have no problem with it. You are not a bad person. Both you and the game will be happier for it.
The mod is always right. Always. Yes, even then. However, if you think there’s some confusion, and it absolutely can’t wait until the end of the game, send me a PM; do not break my game because you died when you didn’t think you should’ve.
Days will continue until one of two things happen: a player is killed or a deadline passes.
Do not be toxic in my game. Being toxic is subjective and I am the final say on what that means. If you have a problem with that, don't play my games. But I will forcibly remove players from the game if I feel like they are playing in a way that is insulting or rude to the other players in the game. You don't get to be an asshole just because you're playing a game on the internet.
Do NOT quote your role PMs, OR any other form of communication from me unless it is something I have already posted on this thread
Do not discuss the game outside of the game thread unless your role allows you to, in which case you may only do it during the specified times and in the specified threads.
You’re required to post regularly. I prod after 48 hours of inactivity and replace after 24 hours of no response to the prod. This can be flexible if you PM me in advance.
Once you’re dead, you’re no longer subject to the previous rule. As a matter of fact, once you’re dead, stop posting. I will permit one simple “bah” post and nothing more.
In the event of a modkill, it will end the day.
If a deadline passes without a player receiving the majority of the votes the day will end with no kill.
The days in this game the first day will last 10 days and subsequent days will last 7.
If you don't get your choices in, your default action is NO ACTION.
Votes must be in the form of the vote tags or bolded using a similar format. Please try to use the vote tags as they're much easier to count. So there's no confusion if it looks like a vote I will count it as a vote.
Please do not use any cryptography, really small text with the intent to mislead or provable randomness in this game.
Confirm by replying with your role name and alignment.

If you're ever unsure about what a word means or a concept in game, a great place to check is the MS Wiki! There are tons of helpful articles on all sorts of topics! Here's a link, or go to the quick links at the top left of the page and click 'Mafia Wiki'

If you're interested in playing other games besides mafia on the site there's lots here to try! Large Social Games is for online reality games like survivor or the genius and Whole Sort of General Mish Mash is for playing online versions of your favorite board games and more!

There are tons of different games to play when you venture outside the newbie queue. Games are divided by size (micro, mini, large) and by theme (normal mafia or werewolf flavor with standardized roles or any theme and any mechanics of the mods choosing. My favorite kind of game is a mini theme.

Especially since scum are known to almost always care much more than town about people's reads on them.
I don't think I agree here. Regardless of my alignment I'm calling anyone out that tries to get me lynched for bogus reasons. This is especially the case if I'm town early in D1 and someone is tunneling on me over a mistake I made in RVS. Do you really think asking to explain reads is alignment indicative?
Hey there, just a note: We do not use the L word here because of its ties to a deep culture of racial violence in the US. Please try to use a different phrase like limmed or eliminated.

Additional mod note: Please take care to check displayed pronouns before referencing someone. There's been a bunch of misgendering in the last few pages and there's no excuse to not get it right.

If you're interested in getting in a game immediately the replacement requests queue is where you can find mods looking for players to jump into ongoing games immediately. If you want to replace into a newbie game you can find replacement requests in the newbie queue.

Did you know that you can get a referral bonus from Zoraster directly if you tell all your friends about mafiascum? It is paid out in increments of 10 million otter bucks per referral. It's backed by a dubious understanding of the blockchain!

To do a quote the best way is to click the quote button the post which will automatically populate a reply with all the necessary data. This is the " symbol in the top right of each post, then you just reply after the final quoted post tag.
If you are going to do it manually or edit the quote to make it shorter you need to make sure that the number of opening and closing quote tags match. This is very important when doing nested quotes.

furtive, I'm not trying to be rude here, but I think it was an incredibly obvious cop clear to the point that scum immediately picked up on it and I think not wanting to out yourself explicitly is pretty reasonable. I feel very strongly this one is on you.

Yeah a couple things:
1) You were the mod, so you obviously never considered that Dio could have had a guilty on Kawaii.
2) The Mafia knew Kawaii was town so they were left with the only other realistic option, it makes sense that they picked up on it.
If you look at Dionysus' D2, he's clearly pushing for a Kawaii elimination as well as defending patchwork, so both were possible from my POV.
I'm a mod but I've also been playing mafia for almost two decades. That was an inno on patch. Your reading of it is absurd.

And even if that was your reading of it: That it was a guilty on kawaii, you voting patch instead of the person who you fyopv has a guilty on them, is extremely bad.

If you had to choose 1 option, which did Dionysus seem more certain of? A) patchwork is town, B) Kawaii is scum.
Easily the "the person I was pushing as scum all the entire rest of this game" who they then say this about

It sounds like you aren't sure still on patchwork...my vote stays. Call me a car. (Because I'm parked).
I am quite confident. But this is mafia until the flip happens we can never be certain
I don't see any reading of that as a guilty on someone else. Patchworks alignment is not dependent on kawaii's in any way. There is no reason that kawaii being guiltied precludes patch scum.

I do think in that situation it's probably just best for the cop to just claim, but that's partially because I think it was so obvious as a pseudo claim anyway.

It's not.
Only innocent on patch causes an incredibly strong town read on patch. Guilty on kawaii does not cause that. You were purposefully ignoring information because you didn't want to be wrong on patch.
And again, I reiterate: In both worlds voting patch is wrong. If you think theres a guilty on kawaii why are you voting patch? If there's an innocent on patch why are you voting patch? Even if I buy your worldview that it could be a guilty on kawaii the play doesn't make much sense.

What might be mod info is I am incredibly surprised by how town read black was this game.
They were present and reasonable but if you read the ISO they didn't really...Do...anything?
There really weren't any strong convictions or any pushes of note, main thread contributions were just admonishing town for rushing things which is something mafia love to do.

Furtive I don't know how to say when a player who was hard scum reading someone then turns around and is like "I thought about it more and I now hard town read them" thats a cop claim. It just is. Shrug.

So? People do new pushes all the time without having guilties. They don't usually flip their hard scum read to town after the counter wagon flips town.

My argument isn't that in a vacuum your read that a guilty on kawaii could have existed was bad, my argument was that you were ignoring significant information to only focus on the push because it didn't fit with your world view, and in that context the read is bad.

I think there's a natural sense and tone of being at ease to your posts which is going to lead to you getting town read a lot.
I actually really appreciate this insight tbh
The follow up is as you play against more experienced players they're going to pick up on the underlying things you're advancing rather than just that you sound superficially townie, so if I were to come up with one thing you could work on improving from this game it would be trying to have more concrete scum and town reads and take more stances.
Actively be looking for things to scum read and push, it's easiest if you can find things you think you would naturally scum read as town.
