So you have been taken down to Paradise City. The grass is green, the girls are pretty, you finally feel at home. Everything is perfect.
It looks however as if there are some of you who don't want to live a quite, idillic life.
What is the mafia doing in Paradise City, you ask? Well, I certainly don't know, maybe they want some fun too, or maybe they just want to spoil other's fun. The only fact is, they must be taken care of.
Kill them all!
1. General Rules
1.1 This is a game. Have fun.
1.2 Rule violations will be dealt case by case. I am not afraid to modkill, should it be necessary.
1.3 If you think I made a mistake contact me.
1.4 Usually I will post in
bolded orange
.
1.5 My decision is final on whatever is going on in this game.
1.6 What your role PM says has priority over every one of the following rules.
2. Votes and Lynches
2.1 To vote a person use vote tags, e.g. VOTE: Tasky or bold your vote. If your vote is already on someone, an unvote would be nice.
2.2 You may use abbreviations as long as it's clear who you want to vote.
2.3 If I think you meant to vote, I will count the vote.
2.4 As soon as the majority of the players vote at the same time for a player, that player is immediately lynched.
2.5 You may VOTE: No Lynch, as you would vote any player. If half of the players (rounded up) vote No Lynch, the day will end without lynch.
2.6 After a lynch, no one is considered dead until I lock the tread. Therefore every player is allowed to post during "twilight".
3. Do and Don't
3.1 The only place you are allowed to talk about this game is in this thread or in a PM addressed at me and only at me.

3.3 Do not quote or pretend to quote any private communication with me. This includes your role PM.
3.4 Do not use invisible or encrypted text.
3.5 Play to win. Don't do anything obviously detrimental to your faction on purpose.
4. Prods and Replacements
4.1 You are allowed to be on V/LA for no more than half day's maximal lenght and only if you are back at least two days before deadline. If you plan on being away for longer, I will replace you.
4.2 If you do not post in thread for more than 48 hours without announcing a V/LA, you will be prodded.
4.3 If a player fails to pick up his prod and post in thread for more than 36 hours, he will be forced to replaced out.
4.4 Every player may request a prod or a forced replacement. I will then consider his/her request.
5. Deadlines
5.1 Each day has a fixed deadline of 21 days.
5.2 Deadline extensions may be granted in extraordinary situations.
5.3 Night deadline is always 72 hours.
5.4 Night actions I haven't got until deadline, will not happen.
6. Setup
This game uses the new 2of4 Setup.
The following are definitely in the game: 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia RoleCop; 5 Vanilla Townies
Additionally, two different roles out of the following four will be on town's side (with equal probability): Cop, Doc, Jailer, Townie

Hi, everyone!
Confirmation stage is over. Let's get started.
I'm your humble servant Inexperienced Challenged player, or IC for short.
I'm here to help you, to teach you and to prevent you from making a false step. Regardless of my role in this game, I won't lie you about theory or proper gameplay. Also, take my first tip: townies should not lie.
I'm not really familiar with what generally takes place this early in the game, but casting a random vote for a lynch with no information seems a bit premature.
VOTE: No Lynch
According to the rules, if there is a cop in the game, can't they investigate tonight and share results "tomorrow"?
Actually, verydark, from what I can gather most games start like this until someone slips up or until there is enough evidence to make a serious vote. While I understand that it isn't everyone's favourite strategy, I think its a good way to start a game. Perhaps our IC or one of the SE's could provide a better explanation or reasoning.
There is two different ways to start a mafia games with people who don't know : Random Voting Stage (RVS) and Random Questioning Stage (RQS) The first objective of D1 is to get the discussion going, voting people build antagonizing situation forcing people to make up their mind, whereas questioning is more about getting basic information.
Concerning the cop, yes they can give us their investigation results tomorrow but I wouldn't count on that if I were you. Cop in Newbie games are somewhat irrelevant. Don't forget also that you can PM the moderator if you have questions related to your role.
@ Isa, I'm sorry if my play caused the downfall of your great expectations. I'll try my best.
@ Verydark, voting No Lynch at the first day was proven to be genuinely bad idea (at least in all the newbie setups - it is for sure). Also, mentioning random.org is kind of not good. Yes, random vote stage is called random, but it better to choose by yourself. Some people on this site really hate random.org votes. It's better to provide some kind of explanation. Well, I did not, my bad. I voted Otolia for his serious looking mafiaso penguin avi. I know, it's a fat joke. Random vote stage often worries new players, just get used to it.
