Rules (plagiarized from bv310, who apparently took them from Haylen, with minor modifications)

During the Day...

1.
The game is a Day Start.
2.
You may vote either with
Vote: implosion
or VOTE: implosion. Unvoting is not necessary, although it is helpful. Votes that are not bolded will not be counted.
3.
Each Day will have a deadline of 3 weeks. No majority at deadline will result in no lynch. I may extend the deadline if necessary for replacements, etc.
4.
Mafia may not communicate during the day.
5.
Do not quote any mod communication of any kind, including role PMs. This may cause you to mysteriously vanish.
6.
I don't like cheaters.
(a)
Anybody who is found to be using invisible text, spoiler tags (the kind that make text black, not the kind that hide text with a "show" button), encryption or anything as such will mysteriously disappear from the village unless they have an extremely good reason. Not knowing is not a good reason.
(b)
If you have the power to edit yours or anyone elses posts, don't.
7a.
If you do not post within 72 hrs, you will receive a prod. Failure to response to the prod within 72 hrs will result in an automatic replacement. Three prods with result in an automatic replacement as well.
b.
If the third real life day after a prod is sent occurs during the night, then players are required to reply to their prod via PM. This is so that if a replacement is needed one can be found ASAP.
8.
If you don't post for a whole game day, you'll be forcibly replaced barring extenuating circumstances (such as a quicklynch).

During Twilight

1.
Votes and unvotes will not be counted after a lynch.
2.
The person lynched may still talk during Twilight until their lynch scene is posted.
3.
The mafia may still not talk.

During the Night Phase

1.
The Night Phase will last 72 hours. Any actions that have not been received by then will be forgone. (Night may end early if all actions are received)
2.
If your role permits it, you may talk to the players I have given you permission to talk to during the night. Because of the open setup, this will obviously only include the mafia.
3.
Mafia, whoever sends in the kill, don't try and kill your partners, I will not be messed with.
4.
Don't try and impersonate the mafia by sending me fake action PM's, I will not appreciate it, and you will be punished.

General Rules

1.
I will not accept insulting behaviour in my games, anybody doing so will receive a nice, well worded warning from me in thread. Further breaking of the rule will receive a harsher punishment.
2.
I will be using this color (a07621) for this game. Don't use it. If I edit your posts, I will use it.
3.
Never talk to anybody outside the game unless permitted by your role.
4.
Don't piss off the mod. Bad things will happen, up to and including mysteriously vanishing.
5.
If you think you have found a loophole with my rules, notify me. I will recognise a loophole breakage and punish you accordingly.
6.
Modkilling (or mysteriously vanishing) means I kill you immediately (for breaking the rules) and change your role to Neutral Survivor, meaning you auto-lose. Modkills will end the day in most circumstances.
7.
Play to win
, just like everyone else. Don't get disheartened if you're lynched or attacked, basically don't take anything personally. If you feel somebodies behavior has been inappropriate PM me about it and I will deal with it in some form or another.
8.
Thy mod is thy god...however, I may make a mistake, if I do; PM me about it and I'll deal with it in some form or another.
9.
If you need help with something about the game, PM me. If you need to clarify a rule, either PM me or post in-thread.
10.
Treat this game as a commitment, and be courteous to your fellow players. It will make everybody, including your mod happy.
11.
It is my prerogative to change the rules if I deem it necessary, you shall receive a notification in thread and a PM aswell to notify you of these changes.

Mafia is a game of honor. Cheating is breaking the honor code you committed to when you joined this site.

And lastly...have fun! :D

Hey, everyone. I've been away from MafiaScum for a while, thanks to some tricky problems with my laptop's power cord, so forgive me if I'm a bit rusty.

Hi, everyone. Time for some obligatory opening questions--

What time zone are you in?

RVS or RQS? Why?

What is your experience level with Mafia?

How active can we expect you to be?

To answer my own questions, I'm on Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8). I like both RVS and RQS--I think they can be a both-and rather than an either-or, so this post will contain a vote as well. I'm relatively new to MafiaScum (only one completed game under my belt, plus one where I've been NKed and two more where I'm still alive), but used to play Mafia offsite many years ago. I try to be fairly active--you can generally count on me to post every day, sometimes more if I have a day off from both work and school.

And,
Vote: Umbrage.
For having a name too similar to the name of a godawful Harry Potter character.

I've got an early day tomorrow, so I'm heading to bed. But first...

GMT -5

I'm not sure what RQS is. I'm OK with RVS, I don't really think it means much, but it's fine as an icebreaker.

I've been playing mafia for a long time now, but I'm still relatively new to this site.

I have a laptop, so I'm usually online and posting. There'll be times when I can't post for a while, but I'll try and keep them to a minimum.

And Yoshi, I hate HP as well. My name is totally not related to that pile of crap.

America/New_York (technically New Hampshire)

I think RVS is harmless and RQS is interesting. I don't think either is particularly useful as a rule, but then I'm new at this.

One Newbie game under way, one game completed on another site. I'm fascinated by it though and have been reading these forums and wiki voraciously.

I should be very active. I have a lot of screen time so I'll be keeping up with the thread and likely posting more than once a day.

I think I'm the same Time Zone as Umbrage and Vodark, which is to say the East Coast of the US (GMT - 5). RVS and RQS are both good, but I usually seem to get more mileage out of RVS in terms of scummy behavior. So far I've completed two Newbie games (got NK'd N1 the first one, then played through the majority of my second) and I was in an Open game a month or so ago, but my laptop's charger fell apart and I had to replace out so that my lack of activity wouldn't hurt the game. I have a new charger now, so hopefully that won't be the case this time around. I can usually post pretty often on weekdays, but I work Saturday nights and Sunday mornings so most of my posts on the weekends tend to be a little shorter than normal.

PST, GMT - ... 8? I think. Yeah.

Portland, Oregon (Go blazers!)
RVS, because I like the silliness.

I hope to post every day, at minimum every other. I've been having some serious health issues recently but they seem to be fixing themselves now. If I have to V/LA i'll say so.

I played at MS about 4 years ago, lost that account in the migration and figured I'd start over. Also play with a small group in meatworld. I tend to talk myself in circles still, I'm quite rusty. Just started playing MS again about 2 weeks ago.

as for my vote: VOTE: Darth Yoshi cause is Yoshi goes Sith, we are all doomed.

I prefer to just play the damn game.
What is your experience level with Mafia?
~3 years, ~50 games.
How active can we expect you to be?
Variable.

VOTE: Umbrage

Nobody hates Harry Potter. Lynch all liars.

I'm in Hawaii time and also like both/and for RVS and RQS. I have been playing mafia off and on on another site for like a year now, but also will play a lot of quickgames. I tend to be pretty active in that I keep up on the thread but tend to make a few longer posts rather than a lot of shorter posts.

vote Yhtan


Trust me, this game will be so much better if we get a policy lynch in here right away. I mean, come on, it's Ythan.

If you didn't even notice the blind man had a prosthetic arm, you probably deserved it. :)
DarthYoshi wrote:What time zone are you in?
GMT +2
DarthYoshi wrote:RVS or RQS? Why?
Whichever gets the game started.
DarthYoshi wrote:What is your experience level with Mafia?
I've played a few games.
DarthYoshi wrote:How active can we expect you to be?
I aim to at least post daily, and will probably succeed with few exceptions.

VOTE: Krazy for spelling crazy with a k. That's just krazy.

@ConSpiracy: Voting a player who already has two RVS votes on them, but without giving a reason for the vote (RVS or otherwise)? Sketch.
Unvote. Vote: ConSpiracy.


@Krazy: I've never played a game with Ythan. Why should we be policy lynching him?

@Quaraoth: The Blazers suck, but Portland rules (I lived there for four years before moving to Bezerkeley). (Cue Fred Armisen singing, "The dream of the '90s is alive in Portland...")

[quote="ConSpiracy]So Umbrage, thoughts on people?[/quote]

Why me? As I said, I don't consider RVS means much in the way of scum versus town. I really don't think anyone can find scum on page one.

VOTE: ConSpiracy

You singled me out for a reason, but why would you ask for my thoughts when I said I find RVS meaningless?

So you're saying that Ythan posts a lot, so you want him gone? Sounds like you're scum trying to prevent the flow of information in the game.

And what's this?

I am in GMT. I care not for RVS, and I have not heard of RQS, thought if it's what I think it is I have no problem with that. I am have several years of experience, 30+ games. My activity levels vary considerably, but you can probably expect a post once every couple days.

I can't tell if this is serious or not. Ordinarily, I'd say no, but the tone of the rest of your post seems serious, so I can't tell if your vote is serious or not. Please clarify.
