Personal attacks will not be tolerated. Use of homophobic, racist, sexist, or any other derogatory slurs falls under this rule. Keep it civil.
Unless otherwise specified in your role PM or by me, you may not communicate outside of this thread while the game is running. If someone contacts you outside of the game, please let me know immediately!
Do not quote any private communication to which you have access. This includes game-related PMs and QuickTopics. Paraphrasing is okay.
If it is not visible to the naked eye, do not post it. This includes, but is not limited to: invisible text, tiny text, encrypted text, and text hidden within tags. Spoiler text, however, is allowed, as long as it is used within reason. For cases of breadcrumbing where you aren't sure, please PM me beforehand.
If you have the ability to edit your posts, don't use it in my game.

Activity
You should aim for at least one post per 48 hours to keep the game moving.
Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 72-hour period. I will also prod on request as long as at least 48 hours have passed since the player's last post.
A player who has been prodded has 48 hours to respond to the prod. If I do not receive a response, I will seek a replacement. If the player responds and is still interested in playing, and I have not yet found a replacement, the player may continue to play.
Players who have been prodded 3 times are subject to replacement without further notice. Player-requested prods do not count toward this total.
If you anticipate being away for at least 48 hours, please PM me or post a V/LA notice in the thread with the expected date of your return.
Day
Days have a fixed duration of 3 weeks. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances.
Lynches occur through simple majority (50% of living players + 1, rounded down). If no majority is reached at deadline or there is a majority of votes for No Lynch, the day will end without a lynch.
Votes must be on a separate line, flushed left, and bolded (e.g.,
Vote: hiphop
). The same applies to vote revocations (e.g.,
Unvote
). Unvotes are preferred but not necessary when switching votes (e.g.,
Unvote, Vote: hiphop
). Use of the vote tags (e.g., VOTE: hiphop) is optional.
Once majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count.
All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to discuss in twilight phase until I post the death scene.
Dead players are dead, stay that way.
Night
Nights will last 72 hours.
If I do not receive your action by deadline, your action is forfeited. You may submit ahead of time; you can also make as many changes as necessary, and at deadline I will take the last action you submitted.
For
all
replacements that take place during this phase, I will extend deadline by 24 hours.
Moderator Actions
Flavor is for entertainment purposes only and has no significance in the game.
Vote counts will be posted once per page or once per 24 hours, depending on activity level.
If there is an error in the vote count or something similar, please bold your concern in the thread (e.g.,
MOD: I actually voted for Vrk in post 923!
). Please PM me for all other issues.
Violations of these rules will result in consequences. Pretending to violate these rules will also result in consequences. What those consequences are depend on the severity of the action and on the game state.
In the event of a modkill, the player's role will be changed to
Neutral Survivor
, and the game may change phase depending on the modkill.
Any situation not covered above will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
I reserve the right to add, modify, or remove rules as necessary. I will notify you of all changes in the thread.
Please PM me if you need clarification on anything in the rules.
(a mafia goon) are part of the local mafia crime family. Since your plot to quietly overtake the town has failed, you will attempt take it by force by eliminating the others until you outnumber the populace.
During the day, try to blend in with the normal townies and attempt to get someone lynched.
During the NIGHT cycle ONLY, you may talk with your fellow mafia (via this QuickTopic) and choose another player in the town to kill that night.
One of you must send the moderator a PM with your choice of who to kill
and who is performing the kill
before the night deadline.
The mafia role cop has the ability to investigate another player and learn their specific role (townie, town cop, town doctor, or town jailkeeper).
One of you must send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to investigate (usually along with the kill) before the night deadline.
If the mafia role cop is blocked by a town jailkeeper, then the role cop will receive a PM stating "no result."
You may communicate privately via QuickTopic with your fellow mafia up until the game thread is opened; this is called Night 0. Once the game begins, all outside communication must cease until the night cycle.
Please do not communicate with each other outside of the QuickTopic.
You win when the number of mafia equals or exceeds the number of remaining town players, whether you survive to the end or not.
Please confirm by PM.
You must include your role name in your reply!

You have a stated reason for voting fatlikeapig. His vote was random, yours would not be. Additionally, why the un-random-vote in your second post if you're not placing another one?
I would vote fatlikepig for making a second vote on someone this early in the game but then I'd be a hypocrite.
Well, my random vote wouldn't be very random if I were to take that into consideration, would it?

Also, apologies in advanced if I'm delayed in posting: I'm in AEST, which is UTC +10, so I'll probably be posting while most of you are sleeping. Or out killing people, if you're mafia irl
Yea fatlikepig, I definitely won't be seeing you online anytime soon. I'm in PST -8 right now but after Sunday I'll be in EST-5 for a month. What time zone is everybody else in?

I was just trying to get more information out of him.
MST here. Mighty small town , just the 9 of us... So how would this come about, "Alright citizens of newbie1126 town, we know two of you are murderous bastards so we're going to start randomly voting for one of you to die." I think i'd get the fuck out of dodge...

it is RVS people usually unvote and vote when they see fit, scumtells and such usually mean nothing or very little during RVS. also explain what you mean by the bolded part.
