Rules
• Each game cycle, one player will be crowned Head of Househould (HoH) by the most recently lynched townsperson. This person will hold the position of HoH for the remainder of the cycle and thus cannot be lynched, unless a special power allows otherwise. The HoH has the responsibility of nominating two players for eviction by the 7th day in the game cycle. If for some reason nominations have been changed due to a separate game mechanic, the HoH may lose his ability for nominations or may be forced to change his/her nominations. If this occurs, the HoH will be notified of the changes and new deadlines. The HoH’s only other responsibility is to place a vote in the event of a tie. The HoH should continue to participate in the game throughout the week, as lynches are the only way to eliminate the scum.
• Once the two nominees have been announced, each nominee must PM the mod who s/he would like to become the next HoH in the case that the nominee him/herself is lynched. No individual can become HoH in consecutive game cycles. If no PM is received prior to the nominee being lynched, previous data or a random choice may be used in its stead. A lynched person cannot send in a choice after his/her lynch.
• Except for the current HoH and two nominees, all other players must vote to lynch/evict one of the nominees. Failure to do so before the deadline may result in modkill. All votes must be in bold. Vote: Nominee. In this game, there is no unvoting and please do not confirm your vote. Once you vote, you are stuck with it. Everyone who is eligible must vote before deadline. Lynches will require a simple plurality of votes. If the count ends in a tie, the current HoH will break the tie publicly. If at deadline a player has not yet voted by the 14-day deadline, he may be modkilled.
• Once all players have voted, I will formally post a final vote count. If I do not formally post a final vote count, assume that the lynch has already occurred and deadlines reset. Once you have been lynched, you may no longer post, not even a “bah” post. Please do not discuss the game further with people inside or outside the game.
• If any special powers exist in the game (ie: power of veto), they will be a two-shot ability that can be passed onward to other players. The current holder of the power can elect to use it that week or pass it onward to another player for the next week. When a special power is used in the game, the current holder will PM me how s/he wants to use the power. These powers must be used by the 10-day deadline (to prevent last minute manipulation). Once I receive notice that the current holder wishes to use the power, I will reveal the results of said power, as well as the history of who has had that power during each week in the game. POV will no longer be in play as of game day 8. After day 8 there will no longer be a POV in the game.
If the POV is used it will go back into play and given to a player at random. Once used a second time the POV will no longer be in the game.
• coup d'etat - each week I will post a clue. The only hint you will get for the coup d'etat is there are 2 puzzles and you must get both correct to receive this power. Once coup d'etat is won I will announce in the game that a player won coup d'etat but not say who won. You can only submit an answer twice in one week. I will not tell you if you have one puzzle correct. I will only tell you that you are wrong. Once you are correct about both puzzles I will inform you. You must use the coup d'eta by game day 8 or the prize is void.
• Do not edit/delete any previous submitted posts. Do not use invisible text or color=black.
• Do not quote any PMs from me, or anything from outside the game. The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread.
• Please try to post at least once per day. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread and PM me ASAP. Treat this game as a commitment and be considerate.
• I am your mod. Anything I say goes. PM me if you have any questions.
Please confirm in thread. Mafia may talk to each other via PMs until the game officially begins. Once all confirms are in, we will begin shortly thereafter.
1 - HoH crowned
7 - HoH must announce the two nominees
10 - Any special powers must be used
13 - All votes must be posted in thread. Both nominees must have PMed their choice for HoH for next week in the case of his/her eviction.
Sarcasm is just a way of saying how stupid you think someone is but in a more polite way.
