1) All site-wide rules apply.
2) Unless your role PM permits you to do so, do not discuss this game with any player outside the game thread.
3) Do not edit or delete posts.
4) Do not post in the thread when dead. A single "bah" post with no game-related content is permitted.
5) Do not use smaller-than-normal text, invisible text, or any other board-tag related way of encoding hidden information in your posts.
6) Do not quote any communication you have with the moderator, including timestamps. Careful paraphrasing is acceptable. Please contact me first if you are unsure of whether a post will violate this rule.
7) Inactivity kills games. Please be considerate and play the game you signed up for. If you do not post every 48 hours, you will be prodded. If you do not post 24 hours after that, you will be replaced. If you receive 3 or more prods, you may be automatically replaced without additional warning at the moderator's discretion. Please notify me if you will be V/LA.
8)
Blue
is the reseved moderator color. Do not use it. Black will also be used by the moderator. It, however, is not reserved.
9) To cast a vote, post a bolded
Vote: [PLAYER NAME]
command in the thread. Unvotes are appreciated, but not mandatory.
10) A player will be lynched when they have received a majority of votes. Once a majority has been reached, all players may still converse until the moderator arrives to close the thread, but no game actions may be taken (including nuclear launches).
11) If no player reaches a majority of votes by the deadline, a no-lynch will occur.
12) If you do not wish to lynch, you may
Vote: No lynch
just like a normal vote on a player.
13) This is a full reveal game. Upon death, that player’s alignment and any abilities they had will be flipped.
14) There is a
zero tolerance
policy for using subterfuge or deception with moderator commands (by posting the
Nuke: [PLAYER NAME]
command when you do not possess a nuclear silo, for example). Violations of this rule are punishable by modkill on the first offense.
15) Flavor is written for your enjoyment only and has absolutely no relation on in-game alignment. Analyze it at your own risk.
[Setup]
The setup is 8:3:1. The text of the role PMs read as follows. Note that players are assigned not assigned to any particular nation within their respective factions.
Spoiler: NATO Role PM
[BEGIN MESSSAGE]
[CLEARENCE LEVEL: TOP SECRET]
[RECEPIENT: [PLAYER NAME]]
Welcome to DEFCON Mafia, [PLAYER NAME]! You are the military commander of a signatory nation to the North American Treat Organization (NATO). Although no nuclear weapons have been deployed offensively since the end of World War II, the planet is far from at peace. An iron curtain has dropped across Europe, and the Cold War looms forebodingly. As a military commander, you know one thing for sure: war never changes. You must uphold your sworn duty to do whatever it takes – even if it means destroying the lives of millions of others – to defend your nation and the rest of NATO from the evils of communism and the Warsaw Pact.
You are aligned with NATO. You win if, for 72 hours, all enemy nations have been destroyed and at least one member of your faction remains alive.
Confirmation is by return PM. The game thread is located here. Good luck!
[END MESSAGE]
Spoiler: Warsaw Pact Role PM
[BEGIN MESSAGE]
[CLEARENCE LEVEL: TOP SECRET]
[RECEPIENT: [PLAYER NAME]]
Welcome to DEFCON Mafia, [PLAYER NAME]! You are a high-ranking official of a nation belonging to the Warsaw Pact. Ever since the United States dropped the first pair of atomic bombs in 1945 and took the helm of the “western world," you have been jealous of their status as the world’s only hyper-super power. Why should you and your people have to pay because they disagree with your political choice to view capitalism as evil? You revel at the injustice, and want to see the dominating USA crushed. Simply destroying the USA and taking their place, however, is impossible – because of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), an attack on the USA will provoke World War III and plunge earth into a global conflict like none it has seen before. You must eliminate ALL the members of NATO if you are to truly be the ruler of the world.
[PLAYER NAME] and [PLAYER NAME] share your political views. You may contact them at any time using the following communication channel: [LINK]. You are reminded that not all communications are secure.
You are aligned with the Warsaw Pact. You win if, for 72 hours, all enemy nations have been destroyed and at least one member of your faction remains alive.
Confirmation is by return PM. The game thread is located here. Good luck!

Spoiler: Terrorist Role PM
[BEGIN MESSAGE]
[CLEARENCE LEVEL: TOP SECRET]
[RECEPIENT: [PLAYER NAME]]
Welcome to DEFCON Mafia, [PLAYER NAME]! In public, you put on your pretty political face, shake some hands, and talk about how great peace would be. Secretly, however, you hate organizations, treaties, pacts, and politics. In fact, you hate everyone. From your perspective, NATO and the Warsaw Pact are locked in an irresolvable difference that only has one ultimate ending – the entire world burning to a crisp. You like fire, so you’d prefer that happen sooner rather than later. It’d be cool if you’d be around to see it, but if not, oh well – at least your name in the history books will be eternal as the man who put the term “Mutually Assured Destruction” to the test.
You are aligned with only yourself. You win if all other nations have been destroyed, even if you are no longer alive.
Confirmation is by return PM. The game thread is located here. Good luck!

[Game Phases]
This game will be divided into traditional day and night phases as well as a series of levels of “military alertness,” known as DEFCON. The levels and their various characteristics are as follows:
DEFCON 5
–
Normal readiness
– 72 hours.
a) Discussion and confirmation only. Votes cannot yet be cast.
b) Players with private communication channels (quicktopics) may talk openly.
DEFCON 4
–
Increased intelligence watch and strengthened security measures
– 72 hours.
a) Discussion only. Votes cannot yet be cast.
b) Players must PM me whether they choose to deploy a missile silo, offensive troops, or defensive troops.
You only get one choice, and it is permanent for the entire game.
c) Players with private communication channels (quicktopics) may talk openly.
DEFCON 3
–
Increase in force readiness above that required for normal readiness
– Two weeks or until lynch.
a) Players may cast votes.
b) Following a lynch, a night phase lasting approximately 48 hours will occur.
c) During night phases, players may use any activated abilities they have.
d) All militaries switch to encrypted callsigns. Players with private communication channels may still talk openly at any time, but any messages sent during the day phase have a 10% chance of their contents being intercepted and posted publically in the thread.
DEFCON 2
–
Further increase in force readiness, but less than maximum readiness
– Two weeks or until lynch.
a) All non-NATO factions gain the following shared activated ability: Stealth Bomber {Kill target player}.
b) All other characteristics are identical to DEFCON 3.
DEFCON 1
–
Maximum readiness
– Two weeks or until lynch.
a) Nuclear launch becomes available to all players deploying missile silos in nuclear launch mode.
b) The game continues as normal in this DEFCON, cycling through the night and day phases, until a win condition has been achieved.
c) All other characteristics are identical to DEFCON 2.
[DEFCON Specific Procedures]
During DEFCON 4, players choose what forms of military they wish to deploy - a missile silo, offensive troops, OR defensive troops.
An unlimited number of players may choose to deploy a missile silo. If you choose to deploy a missile silo, you must place it into one of the following two modes. During the night phase, you may PM the mod and change the mode the silo is in.
If you choose to deploy troops, you must choose whether to deploy them offensively, which grants you an activated ability, or defensively, which grants you a passive ability. Active abilities can be used during the night phase; passive abilities are constantly in effect. Unlike missile silos, which can switch between firing modes, armies take significant time to deploy. Your initial choice is permanent for the entire game.
Only one instance of each activated and passive abilities exists. If multiple players desire the same ability, a randomization system will be used to distribute it. It is
highly
recommended that you send a list of multiple choices ranked by preference in case you do not receive your first choice. If you do not send me a preference by the time DEFCON 3 begins (either because you sent me nothing OR you sent only a single activated ability choice and you did not win it), a missile silo will in nuclear launch mode will automatically be deployed for you.
Remember, this is a game. It is meant to be played and it is meant to be fun. Do your part and enjoy yourself, and feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions. Good luck!

AND YOU RUINED THAT FOR ME.
I CANT EVEN BUY IT NOW BECAUSE A NEWER EDITION IS COMING OUT AND I NEED TO WAIT FOR THAAAT.
WHAT IS THIS SOMEONE WANTED TO SEE ME BESIDES REAPERCHARLIE THE BLOODY TRAITOR? YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME AND I WOULD HAVE TRIED HARDER TO ESCAPE FROM MY MORMON RELATIVES.
But seriously. Its a great game and I'd love to have people to play it with sometime... whereabouts do you live? I live in WA.

No no no, I didn't want to see YOU.
I wanted to see your GAME.

Hi everyone, especially those I've played with before.

I don't mind you hating me, but I'm not backing out of this game
Wait, it's $10? Sure, why not.
Hi doombunny! I'm cool with your FoS, btw. That game was super hard, by the end I was FoSing myself...
And just to be clear: If you're going to nuke someone, you'd better be sure. Launching isn't evidence that supports you being NATO, it's evidence supporting you wanting everyone to die. 8:3:1 is tough enough without townies nuking each other...
