General Rules

• This is a game; have fun, or else!
  
• If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to send me a private message (PM).
  
• Bandwagon to victory.

Flow of the Game

• Everyone is randomly assigned their role, sent their role PM, and confirms they understand it. Mafia may talk before everyone has confirmed.
  
• The game starts in daytime. Each day, you may vote to lynch someone with
  vote mith
  . You can
  unvote
  to vote for no-one; you don't need to do that to move your vote. If you want to end the day without lynching anyone,
  vote no lynch
  . To help me, please use
  bold text
  ->
  bold text
  for voting and unvoting; I'll count your vote if it's bolded and unambiguous.
  
• I will regularly post a tally of who is voting who. If
  at any time
  a majority (more than half) of the players are voting for the same person, they will be lynched, and night will fall. Unvoting won't change anything.
  
• Each day will have a deadline of 3 weeks. If deadline hits, the day will end with no lynch - learn to compromise, folks. Extensions of one week will only be given in extreme circumstances™, like multiple people needing to be replaced two days before deadline.
  
• The time between the lynching vote and the lynch scene being posted is twilight. You can all talk about anything in twilight.
  
• If I've posted your death scene, you're dead. Don't post anything until the game is finished.
  
• At night, the mafia may talk to each other. Anyone with a night action needs to PM me their choice; vanilla townies twiddle their thumbs. If you do not send me a choice by the deadline, I'll choose randomly for you. Cops will not investigate someone they have previously investigated.
  
• Night ends, and the next day dawns.

Gameplay

• Attempts to game the system in some way will be met with nuclear weapons.
  
• Unless you are night-talking with your mafia partner, do not discuss this game with
  anyone
  outside this thread!
  
• You may not deliberately lurk, even if it would benefit you. Please try to post at least every 72 hours, and please inform me if you will be away for longer. If you don't, I will prod you; If you don't respond in-thread within 48 hours, I'll replace you.
  
• My job is to make sure people haven't disappeared, nothing more.
  
• Attack arguments, not people.
  
• You may request a prod on anyone if they haven't posted for 48 hours.
  
• I do not make mistakes. If you think I have, tell me - gently - and I will modify your reality accordingly.
  
• To get my attention, say e.g.
  Mod
  :
  I like kittens!
  
  
• Do not discuss any correspondence from me; I will not comment on anything that isn't public.
  
• Don't quote verbatim from your role PM; paraphrasing is okay. There's nothing to be gained here, but it's a very bad idea elsewhere.
  
• If a replacement is still needed four days (or less) from deadline in LyLo, the deadline will change; the person with the most votes at deadline will be lynched.
  
• If a game isn't finished, don't discuss it.
  
• Don't post hidden (invisible, tiny, etc) text.
  
• You are required to read your role PM.
  
• If you have night actions, I encourage you to submit an action as soon as possible, on the understanding you may change it later.
  
• A goon may submit the roleblocker's action on behalf of the roleblocker; this is not consistent across the site.
  
• I will log any mafia actions in the mafia quicktopic. If a cop or doc is replaced, they will receive a log of their previous night actions.
  
• The mafia quicktopic will be made public at the end of the game. Try and explain what you're doing, but don't write anything you're not comfortable being made public.
  
• If I get two different night actions from the mafia, I will flip a coin and inform both of them.

The Setup

This game is running the F11 setup, which chooses randomly between these four variations:

• 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Sane Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Vanilla Townies
  
• 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 7 Vanilla Townies
  
• 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies
  
• 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, 6 Vanilla Townies

Possible Role PMs - The Town

You are a Vanilla Townie. Try to find and lynch the mafia.
You have no night action, but your voice and your vote are powerful tools.
You win when both mafia members are dead.

You are a Doctor. Try to find and lynch the mafia.
Each night, you may attempt to protect someone else from the mafia's kill attempt. If you are roleblocked, you will not be informed - your protection will silently fail.
Submit your night action to me by private message.
You win when both mafia members are dead.

You are a Cop. Try to find and lynch the mafia.
Each night, you may attempt to investigate someone; I will tell you for certain if they are a mafia member or not. If you are roleblocked, you will receive "No Result".
Submit your night action to me by private message.
You win when both mafia members are dead.

Possible Role PMs - The Mafia, Set A (Goon & Goon)

You're a Mafia Goon; your partner is ___, who is a Mafia Goon. Try to convince the town you're on their side, and get them to lynch one another.
You may talk with your partner at night - I strongly suggest you use this quicktopic in case either of you are replaced.
Each night, your mafia group may attempt to kill someone.
Agree with your partner on your night action, and submit it to me by private message.
You win when at least half of the living players are mafia.

Each night, your mafia group may attempt to kill someone.
Each night, if your partner is alive, they may roleblock someone. If their target has a night action, it will not be performed.
Agree with your partner on your night actions, and submit them to me by private message.
You win when at least half of the living players are mafia.

Please immediately reply to this PM with "confirm" or similar to tell me you understand your role and are ready to play. The game thread is here and will be unlocked when everyone is ready to start.

By the time you read this, Role PMs should be out. If you don't have one, PM me. We will begin when everyone has confirmed; if you don't confirm within 72 hours, you'll be replaced.

Looking for a Gayle replacement.

[Elmo]

I'm terribly sorry, I've mixed up the dates. Gayle was prodded on the 12th, responded on the 13th, posted again on the 14th and was due for a prod on the 17th, and would have been due for replacement today (19th) if I sent a prod on the 17th - but I didn't. I saw

a

prod in my outbox (from the 12th) and thought I had. Oops.

Gayle is not being replaced.

I've been meaning to make an end-of-game writeup for ages now, blah. Thank you everyone for the comments on my modding.. I'll probably change how I do some things on the basis of this game. Any kind of detail will have to wait..

Merry Christmas, all!
