How to play Methodical Mafia
Instead of submitting choices each night, during Night 1 all players with night choices must send me a list of all their targets for the entire game (unless otherwise stated in your role PM). On Night 1, your target will be the first player on your list. On Night 2 your target will be the next player on your list, and so on. If the next player on your list was dead when the Night began, I will ignore their name and go down to the next name, and so on until I get to a living player. Once I get to the end of the list, I will start again at the top of the list.
If you want to target someone on consecutive nights, you can do this by having them appear in consecutive positions on your list. If everyone on your list is dead, you will not have any more choices.
Each list may be a maximum of 20 names long
.
To help you formulate your lists, I will open the thread and start “Day 0” once I have sent out all the role PMs. Day 0 will last for about 7 days and during that time you may discuss strategy and ask any questions you may have. There will be no lynch on Day 0.
All lists must be sent to me before the end of Day 0.
We will then go to Night 1, which will last only so long as it takes me to process the lists.
PLEASE NOTE: I have taken a number of steps to ensure that claims will have very limited value in this game. You have been warned.
[01] Votes must be in bold. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
[02] Please be attentive and unvote, if necessary, before casting a new vote. This is not required, but I’d appreciate it.
[03] Lynching will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, their pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. Feel free to post in twilight, though.
[04] You may vote: no lynch. Majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
[05]If I impose a deadline, a lynch will require half a regular majority (rounded up). Once we are down to six or seven players, a lynch at deadline will require 3 votes. Once we are down to five players or fewer, only lynches with a regular majority will occur.
[06] When I set a day deadline, the deadline lasts until I actually lock the thread.
[07] The game is not to be discussed outside the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so – and then insofar as allowed by your role.
[08] Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing. Not even a “Bah!” post, please. Save it for after the game is over.
[09] No small or invisible text. Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts either.
[10] Don’t quote any PMs from me. If you do, I will destroy you.
[11] If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
[12] Unlike other mods I am fallible. Please point out any mistakes I make gently. In particular, if I post a vote count that does not accurately reflect your vote, it is your responsibility to correct me. If you don’t your vote may be treated as it appears in the vote count.
[13] Remember, it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun. Be nice to your fellow players and your mod. I have zero tolerance for abusive posts.
There is at least one Townie in this game. The Townie role PM looks like this:
Role:
Townie
.
You win when all Mafia, Werewolves, Serial Killers, Cults, Traitors, Evil Robots and other bad guys have been killed.
I would never do anything deliberately to antagonise any of the players in this game. I said what I said because I didn't want you to know the answer to your question -- you'll find out post-game.
