The purpose of this game of mafia is to have fun, please do not forget this, or ruin the fun for others. Please do not post Ad Hominem(Personal Attacks). Playing to win does not preclude being considerate of each other!
- In order for all players to play at least one game day this game will start with a Day phase.
- Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
- You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
- Please remember that you made a commitment to participate when you signed up to play. If you cannot fulfill this commitment, please contact the Mod and request a replacement instead of just disappearing!
- There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it. If someone contacts you outside the game you should report it to the game Mod IMMEDIATELY.
- You should aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
- Prods of missing players will be issued upon request or after 3 real-life days of no activity.
- A prodded player has 48 hours to respond to the prod, after which time a replacement search will begin. The prodded player may re-enter the game so long as no replacement has been found.
- A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to possible replacement without further notice (player-requested prods do not count towards this total).
- If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please PM the Mod so that you don’t get replaced!
- All Days have a very strict dead line of three weeks.
- Extensions are only given in extreme circumstances and have a maximum of one week in length.
- Nights will last 72 hours
- If you have a night action you must send it via PM to me, your mod, by the deadline. If I do not receive it by then via PM you will forfeit your action for that night.
- Deadlines may be shortened if activity is too low, or if all Night choices have been received early.
- A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ of the number of living players +1, rounded down). If no one has a simple majority of votes at deadline a No Lynch will occur.
- Votes should be bolded or they may not be counted (e.g. Vote: [Player Name]).
- Vote revocations should be bolded or they will not be counted (e.g. Unvote: [Player Name]orUnvote). Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
- You may Vote: No Lynch- a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
- Votes/Unvotes that reasonably follow the guidelines specified above, and are unambiguous with respect to player nicknames/abbreviations, will count. Attempting to fake a vote will result in a Modkill.
- Once a player has reached a simple majority of votes no further unvoting will change their fate.
- When a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players may continue to post.
- If you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for a brief “Bah!”-type post that contains NO game related information.
- Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (during the confirmation stage).
- Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
- orRedtext is reserved for the Mod. No invisible/small/encrypted text is allowed.Blue
- Vote counts will be posted once per page or once per day, whichever is less.
- If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
- The Mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
- Please bold all requests to the Mod so that they don’t get missed.
- Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity (up to and including a Modkill) as the Mod sees fit.
- Modkills may be accompanied by a change to day/night. The offender’s role will be changed to Neutral Survivor, which guarantees a loss.
- Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to Mod discretion and will be handled as the Mod sees fit on a case-by-case basis.
- If you find any loop holes in the rules do not attempt to get around them.
