Rules

Taken from Plotinus, who was inspired by Equinox's, Glork's and Ether's rulesets.

important bit

• Day 1: up to 10 days, Day 2+ up to 7 days, Night: 48 hours.
  
• Majority eliminations
  
• 36 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement, 24 hour weekends
  
• I have some unusual rules about animated GIFs, tiny text, and prodging. Scroll down for details.
  
• Be nice

1. Follow all site rules.
   
   
2. Mod colour
   – My mod colour is
   this grey
   ; don't use it.
   
3. Behaviour
   - Don’t be a dick. This is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player. If your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. If you do not stop, I will tell you to stop. If you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced. Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself eliminated if you try it.
   
4. Don't talk about ongoing games
   - You may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
   
5. Animated GIFs
   - are of the devil, but they are permitted behind spoilers if clearly labelled as such.
   
6. Tiny text
   - is also of the devil, keep it 70+ please.
   
7. Provable randomness
   - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
   
8. Claiming scum
   - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
   
9. Cryptography
   - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
   
10. Confirmation
    - You have about 72 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
    
11. Days
    - Day 1 lasts 10 days and other days last 7 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements, or if the majority of players make it clear to me that an extension is desired.
    
12. Activity
    - You must post at least once every 36 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. If you come back before I find a replacement, you can stay. The activity timers run at half-speed on weekends. Players can request me to prod somebody early. This will only count as an official prod if you don't post before you would have been due for a prod. If you haven't posted in the 24 hours before the thread is locked for night, you must reply to the night start PM or you will be replaced during the night.
    
13. Vacation/Limited Access
    If you need to be absent for longer than this, you should declare
    V/LA
    in bold in the thread like this: [
    b]

    @Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday

    [
    /b]. While you are V/LA, you will be nudged once every 54 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 5 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
    
14. Prodging
    - A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. To avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; xxxx is still scum."
    
15. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
    
16. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Plotinus or
    Vote: Plotinus
    . Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
    v]Plotinus[
    /v] to vote and [
    uv]Plotinus[
    /uv] to unvote.
    
17. Elimination
    - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to eliminate somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no elimination, the day will end without an elimination. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no elimination.
    
18. Twilight
    - Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread. You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
    
19. Night
    - Night lasts at least 48 hours. The night phase can be shortened if every living player -- even those with no night actions -- agrees to it and if I'm not busy.
    
20. Action submissions
    - You may submit actions via PM (if town) or PT (if scum). If the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do nothing. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
    
21. Reminders
    - If I don't hear from you about your night actions, I'll PM you 24 hours before the deadline. This doesn't count as a prod. If I still don't hear from you, you will take no action.
    
22. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

Setup Info

Newbie Setup

Newbie Setup

NewD3 (as designed by RadiantCowbells):

	A	B	C
Mafia	Mafia Roleblocker	Mafia Rolecop	Mafia Goon
Row 1	Town Cop and Town Doctor	Town Tracker and Town Friendly Neighbor	Town Cop and Vanilla Townie
Row 2	Town Jailkeeper and Town Tracker	Town Jailkeeper and Town Friendly Neighbor	Town Jailkeeper and Vanilla Townie
Row 3	Town Mason and Town Mason	Town Tracker and Town Doctor	Town Mason and Town Mason

Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates one mafia role from the top of a column, and then two town roles from a row below the selected mafia role. The remaining six roles will be filled in by

one mafia goon

and

five vanilla townies

appropriately, to create a

2-mafia

and

7-town

setup.

All Newbie games use the Natural Action Resolution system for determining Night action effects.

Mafia Roleblocker

action takes precedence over a

Town Jailkeeper

action should that apply.

Mafia are able to communicate in their Private Topic at all times.

Hello all! I'm excited to play this with yall! This seems like a fun group of players!! (I say that, but idk anyone except one hahaha) but it's ok, I don't have to know you to look forward to the game!
Yall are very quiet... HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND

hahaha nah, but on a real note I'd love to get to know a bit about yall! I'm just kinda curious how long yall have been playing mafia, your favorite role or alignment to be, and pronouns to call you by, cause I don't think many of you have pronouns listed on the site (and I'd like to refer to you correctly!)

I'll start, I'm Andante, I use she/her pronouns, been playing mafia for like 11 years, I'm from chat mafia, fast paced games, and have been around here for about 2 years. I'd say I prefer playing as mafia because it's a little easier to have "good" reads lol versus town, it's like "uhhhh you! no wait, you!!" hahaha

Hi Andante, I'm chaodck nice to meet you. I use the he/him pronouns, am 37 years old and I come from Chile. I started playing Mafia back in 2005 or so, mostly live in gatherings or parties. I signed up for this forum a loooong time ago and never finished a game. Browsing through my old bookmarks I found the link and decided to sign up for a game. I haven't played online Mafia in 6-7 years or so, last time was in a site that is now defunct (a Football Manager forum, where we played Mafia or Werewolf as they called it).

[Brian Skies]

This is my 10001st post. And to celebrate, I'm going to vote Malakittens.

Hello! I use he/him pronouns. I've been playing mafia for about 10 years now. I first played mafia at a party/get together, but 99.9% of my experience has come from forum or chat mafia.

Hi, I'm WizKvothe. I use he/him pronouns. I have been playing mafia since like three years. Reddit is my origin site where I play mafia alongwith MU, Hangs, FoL. My favourite alignment is mafia tho things have changed and I now prefer to be town. Also, I'm used to playing 24/48 hours phases so I'm not sure how am I going to handle 10 day phases which is very long imo. It could take months for a game to end. I wish there was a game with short phases on here.

[usesPython]

Yo Black, been a while. You break your streak of rolling scum in newbie games yet?

We're plural but both of us are fine with they/them, we tend not to sign our posts because half the time we don't even know which one of us is writing it but we can try if y'all need it. Most of our experience comes from 1k hours in Town of Salem and my favorite role/alignment is Cult as long as no one throws because they got culted

[brzeczyszczykiewicz]

Hey, why would you vote for me? Because I'm Polish? Kinda disappointed, since I use Python too

Wiz, why is mafia your favorite alignment? You enjoy manipulating?

[WizKvothe]

Wiz, why is mafia your favorite alignment? You enjoy manipulating?

I used to enjoy being an informed minority but as I continued playing I found it's hard for me to lie so now I always wish to be a town.

Oh cool scummiest entrance so far. OMGUSes me for voting them but doesn't vote back (scared of getting into a fight early?) then somehow reads

My favourite alignment is mafia tho things have changed and I now prefer to be town.

as saying Wiz currently prefers mafia and casts shade with "You enjoy manipulating?"

[brzeczyszczykiewicz]

Wiz, I don't like your answer at all, sounds sketchy, you stopped enjoying lying overnight?

And usesPython: your answer just let me realize that you're a scum and want to put me into queue to get lynched, while you can keep manipulating the town

[brzeczyszczykiewicz]

also: why I would vote already, if the day lasts ten days?

wiz, you don't make sense at all, you say I'm scared of getting into a fight while SIMULTANEOUSLY accusing me of casting shade on others?

[usesPython]

And usesPython: your answer just let me realize that you're a scum and want to put me into queue to get lynched, while you can keep manipulating the town

So why haven't you voted for me then?

wiz, you don't make sense at all, you say I'm scared of getting into a fight while SIMULTANEOUSLY accusing me of casting shade on others?

You're mixing up names, I'm the one pushing you here

[usesPython]

Also you can cast shade on others without actually getting into a fight, it's actually pretty easy to do

I'm not saying that. I used to like mafia but as I said that as I continued playing like 20 to 30 games, I realised lying is hard for me so now I just prefer town.

also: why I would vote already, if the day lasts ten days?

wiz, you don't make sense at all, you say I'm scared of getting into a fight while SIMULTANEOUSLY accusing me of casting shade on others?

Umm ....when did I say that? I think you are mixing people here.

[usesPython]

Also you can cast shade on others without actually getting into a fight, it's actually pretty easy to do

It's in fact so easy to do you literally did it like 5 posts ago

Btw brzeczyszczykiewicz the L-word is banned on this site, if you wanna talk about voting someone out eliminate tends to be the most common way to refer to that

[brzeczyszczykiewicz]

Okay, will use eliminate.
