Rules post:
1. First and foremost, this is a game, and that means everyone is supposed to have fun.
2. Days last for three weeks, or until a majority vote for a lynch has been reached. Votes must be bolded- e.g.

Vote: Sudo_Nym

Luckily, this is now automatic, using vote tags.
3. For ease of bookkeepping, please unvote (e.g.

Unvote

) before changing your vote to somebody else. It isn't absolutely required, but is much appreciated.
4. If no majority is reached within the three week time limit, then it goes down as a no lynch, so I suggest you be active.
5. I reserve the right to shorten the deadline to encourage activity, as necessary, or to extend the deadline under special circumstances, but don't expect it to happen.
6. The mafia gets to kill one person every night. I don't care who submits the kill to me, so long as the mafia agrees.
7. The mafia is allowed to talk to each other at night via PMs. They may not talk during the day, and if you aren't mafia, then you don't get to PM the other players at all. This is a serious rules violation; you are not allowed to talk about this game outside of this thread while the game is ongoing, and you are not allowed to talk about other ongoing games in this thread, and both are punishable by modkill.
8. DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. I am so not kidding.
9. I will prod you after 48 hours with no activity, and start looking for replacements after 72 hours. If you know you'll be away, though, let me know, and we'll work something out.
10. I post in

Red

. This is my color, for posting important mod stuff. Don't use red. You can have any other color, if black isn't good enough for you.
11. You may not discuss this game outside of this thread until it is complete.

This game is under the F11 setup, which is now the standard for newbie games on the site, and was adopted to prevent game-breaking. It will feature one of the following formats, randomly selected:

- 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, vs. 1 Sane Cop, 1 Sane Doctor, 5 Townies
- 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker vs. 7 Townies
- 2 Mafia Goons vs. 1 Sane Cop, 6 Townies
- 2 Mafia Goons vs. 1 Sane Doctor, 6 Townies.

Note that, under the first two setups, if the goon dies, the roleblocker will still be allowed to kill in addition to roleblocking, and may select different targets for his abilities.

The following are copies of the role pms that may be sent out during this game, with the names excluded, natch:

Townie

- You are a member of the town, out to root out the mafia and defend your town. You don't have any special powers, beyond your ability to think, reason, and vote. You win when the mafia is dead.

Cop

- You are a sworn police officer, and defender of the town. Each night, you may investigate a player. Every night, PM me the name of the player you wish to investigate, and I will tell you if that player is town or mafia. You may only do this once each night, though, so choose wisely. You win when the mafia is dead.

Doctor

- You are a trained medical professional, and defender of the town. Each night, you may protect a player. Every night, PM me the name of the player you wish to protect; if that player would be killed during the night, that kill is cancelled and the player will continue to live. You may only protect one player every night, and this protect continues only for that night. You may not protect yourself. You win when the mafia is dead.

Mafia

- You are the mafia, the scum of the earth, and your partner is crime is (insert name). During the day, you may post and vote like any other player, but at night, things get sinister. You and your partner may talk at night to discuss strategy and who to kill: PM me the name of the player the Mafia wants to wack, and that player shall snuff it.

Mafia Roleblocker

- You are the mafia, the scum of the earth, and your partner in crime is (insert name). During the day, you may post and vote like any other player, but at night, things get sinister. You and your partner may talk at night to discuss strategy and who to kill: PM me the name of the player the mafia wants to wak, and that player shall snuff it. You also have the power to roleblock another player- PM me the name of the player you want to block, and if that player has a night power, they will be blocked from using it that night.

Admittedly, I may have overdone it on the flavor, so if you have any questions about your actual abilities, feel free to ask me via PM or your IC in thread, and one of us will be sure to clarify.

I am warning you guys beforehand, that I will not post as often as some of you will be.
However, do not mistake this as lurking, as it will be purely because I can't go online, not looking at others' posts but not posting myself.
The reason? Cambridge International Examinations 2010 Oct/Nov is the reason. Unfortunately, I have to participate in these dreadful exams which confines me from visiting here everyday.
But I'll try to be helpful when I can. so...Go Town!

Looking forward to it. Might be inactive for the next two days, as Eid is occuring.

[Sudo_Nym]

Alright, 8 of 9 is enough to begin the game; Fernando will be replaced if he doesn't come along soon.

[FeRnAnDo]

erm? wasn't I the 4th to confirm? Are there any problems with my posts?

[Robbnva]

yep you did confirm, I guess the mod must have missed it.

[Sudo_Nym]

Sorry, human error. Correcting...

[Dickov]

Yo guys, first post ever, can I play?

[Sudo_Nym]

Unfortunately, no. However, there is a queue here, where we'd be happy to find you a game to play in.

[Dickov]

Okay cool, thanks for that. Sorry if I'm infringing on the forum protocols by going straight to a game, I had no idea.

[parknourie]

Umm...yeah~. That was random...

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

Oi, to head off questions of this nature: I respond to nearly any variation of my name from the full thing to DDD, Danny to DDDP to "Hey, you" as long as I know that I'm the "Hey, you" you're referring to. As the IC, I'm here to answer questions and provide some order to the game while also playing the game. If you have some question not related directly to your role (those questions should be sent to Sudo) feel free to ask them. It is much better to ask a question than to blunder and hurt the town accidentally.

Other than that, you get out of this game what you put in. So if you want to have fun, come in with a positive attitude, don't take any debate, arguments, or accusations personally and just pretend it's Pat Benetar and give it your best shot. I think experience is the best teacher and so unless otherwise prompted I'll be playing the game the same as the rest of you.

VOTE: parknourie Why turn down the opportunity to get the game started unless he doesn't want the town to get going in finding scum...?

[FeRnAnDo]

Erm, I know voting is pro-town and get people to talk, but wasn't parknourie just commenting on Dickov's appearance? Looks like you're trying to create a bandwagon out of blue, which might turn out bad for the town. However, i'll not vote on anyone, i'll wait for him to talk. But still...

FoS: DiPietro

[Katsuki]

Vote: DDD

Ridic reasoning.

Voting at the start seems to be very pro town because it may cause a reaction, and while we are at start we should use what we can to get the conversations rolling, but deciding not to vote at the 2nd vote of the game and promoting the idea that voting (only because this is start of the game) is bad which could result with people being less 'willing to vote does strikes me as suspicious. Another thing is that you may be only FoSing just to keep under the radar later on when someone rereads the thread, as far as i know if you want someone to talk you vote for him.
