[Etiquette] Please observe polite and pleasant gameplay.

• Do not lie about real-life commitments. If you are unable to play for a prolonged period of time or do not wish to continue playing, inform the game host.
• Similarly, if someone says that they will not be available due to real-life constraints, please accept it and move on.
• For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a role-playing game. Don't overdo it.
• Keep non-game-related topics to a minimum in the thread.
• If you are unable to be active, you will be replaced. Inform the game host if you are.
• Be nice! We're all playing to have fun. Disparage someone's skill if you must, but please avoid personal insults!

[Activity Requirement]

If you are unable to be active, you will be replaced. Let the game host know in advance if you have some reason to be inactive (so allowances can be made).

Activity is defined as the following - At least 2 posts in the game thread per 24 hours spent in the day phase. A post that is primarily a Vote does not count.Examples of posts that would not be counted towards the activity requirement: one two three

Examples of posts that would be counted: three two one

Additionally, dying in this game is not an invitation to fuck off. If you play in KingHunt, there's a chance of Resurrection. You best play actively even in death.

[Day/Night Phases] The default Day Phase length is 72 hours, but can be extended if required. The default Night Phase length is 24 hours, but can be shortened if all actions are in.

[Votes] There is one Vote every day in this game -

the Lynch Vote

• This is a majority vote during the day.
• Results in the death of the player voted on.
• There is no role reveal on death.
• You may have deadline votes.
• You may rescind your votes.

[Lynches] Each Day, players will converse in the game thread and decide on a Lynch target, in order to eliminate players belonging to the Lost from their midst.

If a Kingdom player has been Lynched, this constitutes a MISLYNCH.

[Night Kills] Night Kills refer to Faction-specific kills that can occur every Night Phase, caused by the Lost. These are not directly caused by role-specific abilities. Only one Night Kill will occur each Night. Whether a kill was a Night Kill or not will not revealed to the players - they must figure it out for themselves. Night Kill decided by plurality vote. If deadlocked, the High King's vote has priority.

[Role Kills] Role Kills are player deaths that are caused directly by another player’s role-specific abilities, such as the Duke of Albany's Realist ability.

[Night Actions] Night Actions are any Role-specific or Faction-specific abilities that are used during the Night.

[Lieges] In the event of a 1vs1 tie, a Liege role's vote will take precedence of a non-Liege player. The High King precedes Goneril in priority.

[Karma] If a kill is performed, the killer's karma becomes bad. All checks return Karma and not role/faction, unless otherwise stated.

[Population] The Population of a faction denotes its voting power. A major aim of the Mafia/Warlock factions is to manipulate the game state so that their members comprise the majority of the total population. The difficulty of playing in either faction is roughly the same in this game. Population at the start of the game is as follows:

The Kingdom: 13 | The Lost: 4​

[The Kingdom] The Kingdom is the equivalent of the Town in vanilla games of Mafia. Their aim is kill every member of The Lost.

[The Lost] The Lost is the the equivalent of the Mafia in vanilla games of Mafia. Their aim is outnumber The Kingdom.

[Purgatory] When players die, their roles are NOT revealed. Once players die, they are sent to the Purgatory QuickTopic.

Every night starting night 2, by plurality vote from the people in purgatory, someone can be resurrected. They will lose access to the Purgatory QT.

In please.

 

Erhmahgawwwwd this'll be fun

 

What the hell - it's been a while since I played a mafia.

Count me in.

 

A couple of questions about the roles:

Should the names in the bolded parts be reversed?

Does the Bastard always have bad karma, or does he just start with it?

Also, how does the Herald and Cordelia's access to deadchat work? Are they able to post and talk in there, or just watch?

 

Sign me up!

 

Me want in this time round

 

Note: 72 hour days and 24 hour nights, to give everyone more breathing room and because 36 hours is what how when where what this game is too complicated arghh <-- reaction.

 

Sign me up!

 

Laila I'm going to have to see I.D. to put you on replacements because I don't think you've played in any games - though if you link threads and stuff from other forums...

 

Laila is Dhulli. He got a sex change.

 

Question! (perhaps a stupid one) Who are the servants?

 

I'm in, this should be fun.

 

Servants are 3rd person NPCs that don't exist outside of your QT (it's a game mechanic).

Guys, if you're not super well known for playing mafia, you should probably list your game experience.

 

they also don't exist in the rules, outside of the bit sacrifice quoted.

 

Role mechanic:

servants do nothing. It's like the gentleman declares "hey I'm going to kill someone" and they will have "killed" someone, but that person is certainly not part of the game.

It's like, if you were playing an MMO and there was a low level npc standing off to the side and you walked past him and knifed him and no one ever gave a shit.

 

Yes me please I sign up yes?

 

Just confirming my spot here.

 

Suppose I'll put in for this one as well.
