The Rules

1. Rules may be added, removed, or changed at my discretion.

2. If you do not post after 72 hours you will be prodded. You then have 48 hours to pick up the prod. If you do not pick it up after that time I will begin looking for a replacement. Weekends and holidays are counted as normal days.

3. a) Deadlines for Days will be 3 weeks. Replacements may extend this deadline, although not by much. Other circumstances may warrant an extension too.

b) Night rounds will last for 72 hours. During this time the thread will be locked, and all roles with night actions should send me a message telling me what they're going to do. Nights may be extended, just like Days.

4. Short version: Vote in the form

Vote: example

. As long as a vote isn't ambiguous, I'll count it. If it is ambiguous it won't ever count, even if clarified. You'll have to redo the vote. Also, unvoting is not necessary.

Long version: Voting must be made in the format

Vote: example

. The colon is optional, as is the space between the colon and the player's name. Capital letters are also optional. Unvoting is not necessary but appreciated. Votes using abbreviations for player names, misspellings of player names, and even misspellings of abbreviations of player names will all be accepted as long as they meet the above conditions. Abbreviations of misspellings of player names will be treated as mere abbreviations. In the event that a vote is ambiguous however, it will not be counted, not even retroactively. You can vote to not lynch anyone, and the rules for that are the same as regular voting. Trick votes aren't allowed.

5. No invisible or small text (defined as "text I have to copy and paste or quote to read"). Also, don't encrypt your text.

6. To lynch in the Day rounds you need a simple majority of votes, or 50% rounded down +1. Example: half of 9 rounded down is 4, add 1 and you get 5.

7. Discussing this game anywhere outside of the game thread itself is forbidden, unless you are specifically told otherwise in your role PM. Discussing other ongoing games in this thread is also forbidden.

8. If you die you get one contentless "bah" post. Note that if you reach the required majority needed for a lynch then you are immediately dead (i.e., claiming that your death scene hadn't yet been posted so you were allowed to keep posting content won't work). During Twilight (after lynch majority is reached/after deadline hits, before round ending scene) anyone who is alive may post content (but the lynchee doesn't count as alive).

9. Lynch majority will not be reduced at deadline. If a lynch majority is not reached at deadline, No Lynch will occur.

10. Don't quote PMs you get from me. Paraphrasing is your friend.

11. If you are going to be gone for 72 or more hours, say so in the thread, or PM me. This will put your inactivity clock on hold. Do not count on me checking the V/LA thread.

12. Don't intentionally lie about out of game circumstances to gain an advantage in the game.

13. Flavor is flavor, no story clues or anything.

14. My color for this game will be

green

, so don't use it.

15. In the event that you are modkilled you will automatically lose, regardless of who wins.

16. Do not lie to me about things related to the game.

17. Vote counts will hopefully be done close to the top of each page. If a full page goes by without a vote count then one will be edited in at the top of it.

18. If I make a mistake, tell me.

19. If you have a question about the rules, just ask.

20. Be considerate towards your fellow player. Excessive personal attacks will result in a warning, then forced replacement or modkill.

Note: If you're being insulted, say so in thread or PM me. I'm not you, so I have no idea if you don't care or if you're upset or whatever. Therefore, I will tend not to intervene.

21. Hopefully you've visited the wiki and the flash tutorial. If not, I'd suggest checking both out.

22. If you think something you're about to do might break the rules, assume it will and message me asking if it's okay to do.

23. And of course all basic game mechanics of a standard Mafia game apply, such as roles and alignment being revealed on death etc...

The Setup

F11
Each of the following setups has a 25% chance of being used for this game:

1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Vanilla Townies
1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Mafia Goon, 7 Vanilla Townies
2 Mafia Goons, 1 Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies
2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, 6 Vanilla Townies

If one of the first two is being used and the Mafia Goon dies first, then the Mafia Roleblocker can both roleblock and kill in the same Night.

The game will start with a Day round.

The Role PMs:

You are a

Vanilla Townie

, and have nothing but your word and your vote. You win when all the Mafia have been eliminated and at least 1 Pro-Town player is still alive.

The Game Thread is here. Please confirm in thread.

You are a

Cop

, and have the ability to investigate a person at Night. Then I'll tell you that person's alignment, unless you are roleblocked. Aside from that, all you have is your word and your vote.

You win when all the Mafia have been eliminated and at least 1 Pro-Town player is still alive.

The Game Thread is here. Please confirm in thread.

You are a

Doctor

, and have the ability to protect a person at Night. If the Mafia try to kill them then they will survive. You cannot target yourself. If you are roleblocked then your protection will be ineffective; you will not be told if this happens. Aside from that, all you have is your word and your vote.

You win when all the Mafia have been eliminated and at least 1 Pro-Town player is still alive.

The Game Thread is here. Please confirm in thread.

You are a

Mafia Goon

, and are a member of the Mafia with X, a [Mafia Goon/Mafia Roleblocker]. You can talk to X at Night and also kill someone each Night. Aside from that, all you have is your word and your vote.

You win when all Pro-Town players have been eliminated (or nothing can prevent this) and at least one Pro-Mafia player is still alive.

The Game Thread is here. Please confirm in thread.

You are a

Mafia Roleblocker

, and are a member of the Mafia with Y, a Mafia Goon. You can talk to Y at Night, kill someone each Night, and also prevent someone from using a Night action at Night (i.e., roleblock them). Aside from that, all you have is your word and your vote.

You win when all Pro-Town players have been eliminated (or nothing can prevent this) and at least one Pro-Mafia player is still alive.

The Game Thread is here. Please confirm in thread.

[Alduskkel]

Roles are going out. The game will start when 8/9 people have confirmed. The Mafia may talk to each other via private messaging (PMing) until Day One starts.

[Tazaro]

/Confirm. It's a breath of fresh air to be starting a game from the beginning. Makes things more natural for me.

[Robbnva]

/confirm

Agreed about starting from the begging, replacing is hard

[Tazaro]

I see Chimp Pants lurking... hmm... confirm in thread like the two of us townies already did...

[Tazaro]

Sauron's not going to be townie. I'm calling it. Everyone who posts within the first two hours is a townie.

[Sauron]

/confirm

Man, Tazaro's coming out as scum already? Makes sense; he's been scum in 100% of games we've played together!

[Chimp Pants]

OMGurLurking!!!

Hi all how is everyone

[Tazaro]

I'm on summer vacation; so I'm good.

[Ythan]

Is Tazaro always like this?

[Ythan]

Oh yeah, I'm your IC and I'm here to answer any questions about the game of Mafia that you may have. I'm still just a player though, so I'm to restrict my advice to that which applies to the game on the whole.

[Tazaro]

Nobody knows the answer is YES more than I do.

[Ythan]

It's fine to have an unusual playstyle, for example I often make tons and tons of short posts, but if that style begins to muddy reads on you it may draw pushes for policy lynching.

[Sauron]

Yeah, Tazaro was getting a lot of flak for this in 943.... There was talk of policy lynch, but it never happened because that's a bad idea in LyLo. Of course, it would have actually ended up being a good idea so now I'm even sadder!

[Tangion]

What is policy lynching?

[Tazaro]

What is policy lynching?

Basically, lynching someone purely because they're not being helpful or are getting in the way of smooth operation.

[Tangion]

Ok ty

[Ythan]

Or to dissuade anti-town activity in future games.

[Tazaro]

The only person who hasn't shown up is Trick r Treat. You owe us candy for keepin us waiting. Sugar plums please.

[Tazaro]

Next person's post will be on page two. Hope it's Trick r Treat. sugar plums...
