Welcome to Mini Normal 2280! The theme of this game will be the biggest music hits of the second half of the 2010s.

Katy Perry feat. Skip Marley - Chained To The Rhythm

(2017)

Commentary: One of my favourite songs of the decade. This bubblegum pop/reggae song and especially its music video is, in fact, a deep critique of American society under President Donald Trump. In spite of the futuristic vibe of the music video, almost all characters have 1960s hairstyles. The purpose of this is to emphasise how, in spite of all the progress, Americans are still stuck in the deep past. Throwing people out to the other side of the wall also sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Rules

Game-specific information:

1. Day Phases last 7 days (168 hours). That also includes Day 1.

2. Night Phases last 2 days (48 hours).

3. If a player requests to replace out or is being replaced out forcibly, the timer is paused until a replacement is found.

4. Day Phase ends early if 50% of players + 1 player come to a decision to vote out a single player. The game then enters twilight phase, which lasts until I announce the results of the Day Phase. Posting during the twilight phase is allowed, but no votes may be changed or cast. No votes changed or cast during twilight phase shall be counted.

5. In case the Day Phase ends and there is no majority of votes on any single player, no player is voted out and Night Phase begins.

6. The mafia have multitasking.

General rules:

1. The MafiaScum.net rules apply in full in this game, as they do elsewhere on MafiaScum.net and are to be applied directly in any matters not covered by this ruleset. I reserve the right to enforce site-wide rules in this game should I find any players breaking them, and ask the listmods for help when necessary. Should any player find any rules in this game be in conflict with site-wide rules, please PM me and I shall refer to the listmods to resolve the issue.

2. The rules specific to this game and the MafiaScum.net rules also apply in other threads which are part of the game (included, but not limited to: the Dead & Spectator thread, the Mafia thread, Private Threads should there be any), unless it is stated in the relevant thread that they don’t.

3. Play to achieve your winning role condition.

4. Do not discuss the content of this game anywhere outside the relevant game threads (included, but not limited to: this thread, the Dead & Spectator thread, the Mafia thread, or Private Threads should there be any).

5. Do not speak privately about the game anywhere except for places where it is explicitly allowed.

6. Do not directly quote any PMs sent to you regarding the game, unless it is explicitly allowed to do so.

7. Do not directly quote from any other game-related thread into this thread (examples: quoting from the Mafia thread into this thread or a Private Thread a player has into this thread). It is, however, allowed to quote directly from other games into this thread under the condition that the relevant game ended.

8. If you are dead in the game, you are no longer allowed to post in this thread. You will be provided with access to a Dead & Spectator thread, where you can comment on the game freely.

9. Please remember, at all times, that this is a game that is supposed provide an enjoyable experience for all. Mafia can get heated. Players will argue. This is all part of the mafia experience. However, you should be considerate of the feelings of others while posting and refrain from any actions that could turn this game into a hostile environment for anyone.

9a. Racism, homophobia, misogyny or any other form of discriminatory action is not allowed under any circumstances. Jokes and dark humor can be offensive, so if you are worried that a joke can cause offense, refrain from making it.

9b. Do your best to not misgender anyone. Use pronouns that are preferred by the player.

9c. Do not criticize a player’s character or characteristics. Criticize their behavior and, most preferably, in-game behavior instead. Using meta on other players is allowed.

10. If, as a player, you believe that a rule was broken and I missed it, please PM me before commenting about it in the thread. I will get back to you and take action if necessary.

11. If, as a player, you believe that I mishandled a situation as a game host, please PM implosion, the listmod for Normal games and add me on BCC.

Voting and activity:

1. The proper voting format is VOTE: Greeting (use of the vote tag). You may also use bold tags, however, in that case, the format must be

Vote: Greeting

. Votes cannot be put in spoilers and should a player do so, the vote will not be counted as valid.

1a. I reserve the final right to determine whether a vote is valid or not and will use my best judgement in doing so.

2. Discussing replacements is allowed only after they happen. It is not allowed to discuss any possible future replacements, to threaten to replace or ask another player to replace out.

3. Players must not make their posts unreadable. That includes, but is not limited to:

- excessive use of bright colors;

- using a very small font size;

- writing in a way that makes the text not readable for the naked eye (for example by using a black font that matches the site background).

4. I will use the color

#0080FF

in communication with others. I kindly ask you to refrain from using it and pick another color to avoid confusion.

5. Players must post at least once every 36 hours. Prods will be sent out when a player hasn’t posted with game-advancing content for at least 36 hours.

5a. Once a player receives a prod, they have 24 hours to respond. If they do not respond by posting game-advancing content, they will be replaced. If the player returns before I find a replacement, they may rejoin the game. Players may receive up to two prods for inactivity during the game.

5b. Third prods are unacceptable under any circumstances. A player who is to be prodded for the third time will be force-replaced from the game and not allowed to return

.

5c. Players who have not been active for a longer time before the end of each Day Phase may be asked, at my discretion, to check in via PM during Night Phase. Failure to do this within 24 hours of receiving the PM will yield same consequences as with a prod.

6. V/LA is allowed for up to 4 days. In special circumstances, I may allow V/LA for a longer period, not exceeding 5 days. If you plan on going on V/LA for longer than 120 hours, please PM me requesting replacement. Things happen in real-life and I will understand that. If a player declares V/LA, they will not receive any prods during their V/LA period, however once it’s off, they must post within the 12 hours immediately following the end of V/LA or else they will be prodded.

Private Threads:

1. You may request a Private Thread where you can make notes for the game at any time and I will provide you with such. You may not have more than one Private Thread. Having access to a Mafia thread or any other game-related thread you share with other players does not count as having a Private Thread for the purpose of this rule.

2. As a repeat from 7. of “General rules”, you are not allowed to copy from the Private Thread into the game thread.

3. The reverse of 2. above is allowed. You may quote content from this thread into a Private Thread.

4. After the game is over, you will have 48 hours to request redactions or ask for your Private Thread not to be released. Failure to act will result in your Private Thread being released with no redactions.

5. Discussing the existence or non-existence of potential Private Threads is allowed.

6. Rule 4. also applies to the Mafia thread. Every mafia player can request redactions individually, however, the decision to not release a Mafia thread must be unanimous.

7. The Dead & Spectator thread will be released immediately after the game is over.

Miscellaneous:

1. Players are allowed to claim mafia individually when town-aligned if they feel like it will aid their team in achieving your role condition. Players are not allowed to claim mafia with other players.

2. If a player has a non-compulsive PR, town or mafia, the choice whether to use their role or nor is entirely up to them. No prods regarding role usage will be sent out during Night Phase (or Day Phase, should the game setup involve any roles used during Day Phase).

3. Do not pretend to break the rules. Pretending to break the rules is against the rules.

4. Rules may change during the game, but only in exceptional circumstances. Should that happen, the players will receive an obligatory notification about this occurrence both via PM and by a mod announcement in the game thread.

5. Per Mini Normal Game rules, hydras are not allowed

.

Major Lazer & DJ Snake feat. MØ - Lean On

(2015)

Commentary: Not really a huge fan of this song, but it was, undeniably, a radio music hit for the DJs and for MØ as well. Interestingly enough, Diplo of Major Lazer offered the song to Rihanna and Nicki Minaj and both of them turned it down.

Luis Fonsi feat. Daddy Yankee - Despacito

(2017)

Commentary: I think this song was what started Latin American music trending in the Western pop music scene in the last 5 years. The success of the song and the remix elevated Daddy Yankee to become the most listened-to artist on Spotify, and the first Latin American musician to achieve this. Impressive, huh?

Camila Cabello feat. Young Thug - Havana

(2018)

Commentary: Yet another musical celebration of Latin American culture, this time by former Fifth Harmony member, Cuban-born, Camila Cabello. There was a time when this song was in the vast majority of playlists on Spotify which led to payola accusations all across the pop music Internet.

Nonetheless, this is, in my opinion, a great song.

Rihanna feat. Drake - Work

(2016)

Commentary: This dancehall-influenced song might have been Rihanna's last #1 hit ever. ANTi (that is the album "Work" was promoting) was, as of September 2022, her last album to date. There haven't been any recent signs of Rihanna wanting to get back to the pop music scene, where she was an A-lister for around 10 years.

Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus - Old Town Road

(2019)

Commentary: That was a big radio hit! And what a great collab! Rapper Lil Nas X and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus (also the father of Miley Cyrus!) really nailed it.

Old Town Road was nominated for Record of The Year at the 2020 Grammies, and won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. In my opinion, deservedly.

Wiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth - See You Again

Commentary: This song commemorates Paul Walker, who played one of the main roles in the Fast&Furious movie franchise (Brian O'Conner). Paul tragically, and slightly ironically, died in a car crash in 2013, while Fast&Furious 7 was still being filmed.

OMI - Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix)

(2015)

Commentary: My cousin hates this song. Back in 2015, when this came out, she went on holiday with her family to Portugal. They went on a 3 hour boat cruise on the Atlantic Ocean and this song was played on loop from the boat's speakers for the entire duration of the cruise.

XXXTentacion - Look At Me!

(2016)

Commentary: I was torn on whether to feature him in this game or not due to his history of anti-social behavior. However, given the fact that I had featured Snoop Dogg before for his musical contributions, I decided to go with that instead. Nonetheless, I acknowledge that this artist in particular had led a very troubled life.

XXXTentacion was probably the most known representative of a musical genre called SoundCloud rap, which was quite popular in the second half of the 2010s. He was murdered in daylight while attempting to defend himself against armed robbers.

Ariana Grande - no tears left to cry

(2018)

[Greeting]

Galron has been prodded. This is his second prod.

It should be noted that there are no third prods in this game, and further inactivity from a slot that has been prodded twice will result in force replacement.

[Greeting]

@Mod

, are you considering this as a game related content? This slot is just dodging prods & doing literally nothing for 2/3 days... Please take action for this slot, they're literally game throwing!!

I am assuming you're referring to this rule.

5. Players must post at least once every 36 hours. Prods will be sent out when a player hasn’t posted with game-advancing content for at least 36 hours.

I am fully aware that the term "game-advancing content" is, to an extent, a general clause. Nonetheless, from the perspective of a game mod, I do not believe ProfessorDrapion has been in violation of rule 5 cited above.

Salsabil Faria's PT - S-F's Gibber Gabber

[Greeting]

Thank you for playing Mini Normal 2280!

In my opinion, town, in spite of all the mess that happened in Day 1, got its stuff together and eliminated all the mafia one by one. I don't think the mafia played badly either. As a matter of fact, until Day 2, I thought the mafia would be winning this game. But the odds turned with the elimination of NJAC, and by then I already knew that town is very likely to win.

All in all, what makes me the most happy as host is an active game. Thank you for not replacing out and being active throughout the entire game.

Did you enjoy the set-up, the game, my modding, the rules? Constructive criticism is welcome.

Everyone may now post in the thread, even people who did not participate in the game.

[Greeting]

Well looks like I was dead wrong at the end.

Don't stress about it, I've done worse as a player in the past.

[Greeting]

From mod thread:

Tracker (Porkens) tracks Salsabil Faria - success, receives "Salsabil Faria targeted ProfessorDrapion.

@Porkens

, lul

Neapolitan (NJAC) investigates KittyTacky - "Request yielded no result."

That reminded me about your question with regard to the Ascetic role.

Basically, nothing other than day elimination or nightkill (of any flavor, mafia, town or SK) will work on them. Doctors can't save them. Cops/Trackers/Neapolitans can't check them. Mailmen cannot send them mail. Any active roles used on them bounce back. That doesn't mean that you cannot try to perform an action on them. It just won't really do anything.

So if Porkens tried to track KittyTacky or NJAC, what he would get would always be no result. If you had tried to save KittyTacky, it wouldn't have worked.

Thanks for modding @Greeting. I have no redactions.

I feel this was a bit unbalanced, btw.

Why? It passed review.

Why? It passed review.

I'm not really sure, I think an early Lim on one scum would make things really hard for the remaining scum. I think I have never played 2 vs 9. Considering as an example that newbie games have 2 vs 7 I feel this setup is harder for scum. But I'm not an expert so I don't really know.

So what you don’t like about the game is actually the swing and not the balance per se.

I agree that it was hard for the mafia to win after you were eliminated by the town on Day 2. But had Galron bussed, and gotten involved more in the game in general, he would have stood a much better chance of winning. So while the swing was indeed bigger than in 9p or 13p games, both of you had powerful and ungated roles to make up for your smaller numbers.

Sometimes town gets very lucky when the mafia get very unlucky. This happened to me both as lucky town and unlucky mafia (most recent example being Newbie 2100). But Salsabil Faria’s instincts to hammer you were correct and could be attributed to your scumplay in my opinion, which would make them more than just luck.

I don’t think you played badly. Town was just more decisive and Porkens made better use of his role. I also don’t think KittyTacky was a good choice of N2 kill, might have been better to kill someone who was considered conftown.

[Greeting]

I believe that at the very start of the game and up until Day 2 it was actually very balanced and it was the mafia who stood a very good chance to win the game. A traitor with this setup would make the mafia too strong, and a neutral wouldn’t influence the strength of the mafia in the game.

I do recognise that NJAC’s death caused a swing, but that swing was far from being the only reason for town winning and mafia losing.

Oh, and statistically it would have been possible for the game to end Day 2, but very unlikely and highly dependent on the play itself.
