Mini 1219 - Bedtime Stories Mafia - Game Over!
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 7:00 am
Welcome to Bedtime Stories Mafia!
The first post will contain the rules, the second will contain a sample Vanilla Town PM (of which there is at least one of in the game). The third will contain the flavor, and the day start.
Flavor will have no bearing on game mechanics.
As a special note, please observe that I have preemptively answered questions about the mini normal roles in a special FAQ. The version for this game is 1.0.
Any answer should not be taken as an indicator of whether a given role is or is not in the game.
As a special note:
Deadlines are
Prods are
VLAs may be PMed to me or posted in thread.
==============================================================================
Blatantly stolen from Nacho, Vi, Neruz, and more (yep, I’m a shameless thief)
1. Voting must be bolded and at the start of the line in the form Vote: Player, or else they probably will not be counted. Unvotes are not required to change your vote, but they are helpful.
1a. Fake votes
2. I don't mind if you use nicknames/abbreviations when you vote someone. But if I have no idea who you're voting for, then the vote won't be counted.
3. Lynches require votes equal to the majority of the players (Number of living players/2, round up)
4. If there's no majority at deadline, there's no lynch. Deadlines are set at two weeks.
5. When the hammer vote is cast all living players, including the lynched player, may talk freely.
6. If you are dead, you may post a single “bah” post that contains any combination of the letters “F” and “U” as well as appropriate Llama pictures.

As a special note:
Deadlines are
TWO WEEKS
. Prods are
48 hours.
First prod I will wait 48 hours then search for a replacement, second prod I will wait 24 hours and then search for a replacement, third prod is auto replace. If you message me during the replacement search on the first or second prod you may keep the spot. Third is automatic replacement.VLAs may be PMed to me or posted in thread.
ALL UPCOMING AND CURRENT VLAs WILL BE NOTED IN THE VOTE COUNTS.
If I didn't note it, I probably don't know about it. Unfortunately, it must be your
responsibility to notify me
in a reasonable fashion. I do not promise to notice signature VLAs, and do not check the VLA thread.==============================================================================
Rules of the Game
Blatantly stolen from Nacho, Vi, Neruz, and more (yep, I’m a shameless thief)
Administrative Rules
0: I will moderate this game fairly, but I have final authority.
1:
You may not discuss the game outside the thread. Doing so will result in a mod kill or replacement of all involved and a very unhappy moderator. In the same vein you may not quote any private communication from me or other players including PMs and quicktopic. Finally, you may not post the links to the quicktopics while the game is ongoing. 2:
If you need my attention please PM me or post in bold in the thread. Please notify me of any errors you believe have taken place immediately. The faster I notice what I did wrong, the easier it is to correct. 3:
Modkills will result in the mod-killed player immediately losing the game. I will also then take whatever action is deemed most detrimental (that is, worst) for the faction involved in the modkill. Modkill will never have a positive outcome for your faction.4:
In the event of Moderator error, the situation will be resolved as fairly as possible to all parties. Voting and Deadlines:
1. Voting must be bolded and at the start of the line in the form Vote: Player, or else they probably will not be counted. Unvotes are not required to change your vote, but they are helpful.
1a. Fake votes
or hammers
are not allowed. We're playing Mafia, not trying to see who's most easily fooled. In the event that something appears to be a vote, it will probably be counted as a vote. {8/25/11}
1b. Fake hammers are frowned upon. {8/25/11}
2. I don't mind if you use nicknames/abbreviations when you vote someone. But if I have no idea who you're voting for, then the vote won't be counted.
3. Lynches require votes equal to the majority of the players (Number of living players/2, round up)
4. If there's no majority at deadline, there's no lynch. Deadlines are set at two weeks.
5. When the hammer vote is cast all living players, including the lynched player, may talk freely.
6. If you are dead, you may post a single “bah” post that contains any combination of the letters “F” and “U” as well as appropriate Llama pictures.
Prods and Replacements:
1.
Prods will be given if you do not post for 48 hours2.
If you are prodded, you have 48 hours to post in the thread before being replaced on the first prod, 24 on the second prod, and immediate upon the third. 2a.
If it is announced you are replaced, you may not post. To keep your spot PM me on the first or second prod and you will have it if a replacement has not been found.
3.
The second time you are prodded, you will be warned. The third time you are prodded, you will be replaced. The moderator may consider extenuating circumstances, at my SOLE discretion.4.
If you're V/LA, make sure I know. If you are V/LA for more than a week, you may find a temporary replacement. PM me to discuss this. V/LAs of a week or longer are strongly discouraged, and may be rejected at my sole discretion.4a.
You will have 24 hours after return from V/LA to post before being prodded. 4b.
At my discretion, I may reject any V/LA requests from players I consider have utilized V/LA to the point where they are no longer active members of the game. You can generally determine if you fall into this category through common sense.5.
The moderator will attempt to perform activity checks at each vote count. If you note that I have missed a player, you may request a prod. General Rules
1.
Gold
is a mod color. You get all the other ones, be happy. I will simply warn gently for the use of Gold and edit the offending post, UNLESS it appears you have deliberately attempted to post in such a way that it appears to be from the moderator. That would make me unhappy.2.
If you have access, do not edit or delete your posts. Doing so will result in modkill, NO EXCEPTIONS.3.
Don't quote or 'closely paraphrase' any moderator communication4.
Do not use invisible text, small text, spoiler text, or any other method of disguising communication. Spoiler boxes are explicitly allowed for the purposes of increased readability, but votes in them will not be counted.
5.
I am human, I make mistakes. Show me them where you see them.6.
A basic level of civility is required. This is mafia, emotions run high, but ongoing harassment, insulting, and other issues that threaten the game will not be tolerated. Game Mechanics
1.
All game mechanics follow Natural Action Resolution as described in the Wiki. All roles in the same layer of NAR will resolve simultaneously. 2.
Specific role related questions should be answered here. I may, at my discretion, answer any questions about roles in PM. If I do so, I will provide the same answers in the thread upon request. You do NOT have permission to quote or paraphrase any communication from me regarding abilities, even if I would have posted the same in thread.Golden Rule
Questions > Modkills. If you're about to do something that you're unsure about, then ask me about it.
