1. Mafia is a game. Please try to have fun while playing it. Personal attacks on another player are not allowed.
2. You have been given a win condition and it is your job to try and fulfill it. Deliberately playing against your win condition is definitely not allowed.
3. Do not quote your role PM. Do not quote from any mod-provided private QT. Both these will result in modkill and auto-loss.
4. Talking about the game outside the thread or any mod-provided QT is forbidden. I will judge any offenses mysely, but most will result in a modkill and auto-loss.
5. If you have the ability to edit or delete your posts, do not do so.
6. Unreadable text is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to incredibly small text, invisible text, spoiler text, and encrypted text.
7. When you die, you may not post “Bah.” You may however post a picture of a sheep (or llama if you prefer).
8. What’s a modkill, you ask? I unleash my mighty wrath upon a player, making them very much dead while also turning them into a neutral survivor, which means they very much lose automatically. A town modkill ends the day while a mafia modkill does not. You don’t want to get modkilled, and I don’t want to modkill you, so please don’t break any of these rules.
Rules Of Voting And Deadlines:
9. Votes must be bolded and in the form
Vote: Parama
.
10. You have the option to
Vote: No Ban
on any given day.
11.
Unvotes
must be bolded. They are not required but would be preferred.
12. A lynch occurs when a majority is reached. For an odd number of players, this is (n+1)/2. For an even number of players, this is (n/2)+1. For example, Day 1 will have 13 players alive, and (13+1)/2 = 7 votes to lynch.
13. All days will last 2 weeks.
All nights will last either 24 hours or until all actions are in. Discussion will not cease during the night phase.
14. If no player reaches a majority of votes by the deadline on a given day, No Lynch will occur.
15. If a player does not submit a night action by the end of any given night, they will not act that night.
Rules Of Activity And Prods:
16. If a player goes 48 hours without posting in any QT or in-thread, they will be prodded. I will also dole out unofficial prods to a player who goes 48 hours without posting in a specific one of their QTs. If they do not post in any game thread within 48 hours following a prod, they will be replaced.
If I have to prod someone more than three times, I will instead force-replace and blacklist them.
17. Please let your mod know if you will be on V/LA – PM it directly to me, and I will announce it in the chat lobby. If a player hasn’t directly told me they will be on V/LA I will not acknowledge it and probably won’t even know about it. Note that the maximum allotted time for a V/LA is 5 days – this is how long you can go without posting before getting replaced by rule #16. Any V/LA requests longer than 5 days will be taken as replacement requests.
18. If I have to prod any player more than twice per day, they will be automatically replaced.
19. Players may request a prod on another player in the following format:
Mod: Please prod Playername
. This is only to be done if a player has gone without posting for 48 hours and I have missed prodding them. This must be done by PM.
20. If there are less than 10 posts across all chat rooms within a 48 hour period I will send out a massprod.
Rules Unrelated To The Previous Categories:
20. Though I am the mod, I may make mistakes. If I screw up something, please PM me with the problem.
21. My color is
. Do not use it.
22. Vote counts will be posted on every page and by request if necessary. If you wish to request a vote count, please post it in the following format:
Mod: Requesting Vote Count
.
23. Mafia have a private chat room in which they may discuss during the day.
------------------
Special Mechanics:
Each player will post exclusively in 4 mod-provided “chat rooms” (QTs). All chat rooms will have 4 players in them. Each player will only be in one "mini chat room" with another player.
NOTE: All votes will be in the chat lobby – there is to be no other discussion in the chat lobby.
Example VT Role PM:
