Spoiler: Rules

1. This is a closed setup, where player alignment and role will be revealed upon death. There will be no direct cops, and no directly contradictory / semi-bastard role combinations a la cop/godfather or tracker/ninja.

2. You may trust all information the moderator gives you. There will be zero bastard modding or false information.

3. Day One and Day Two will last 4 days (96 hours), and subsequent days will last 3 days (72 hours). Nights will be 24 hours long.

4. Do not lie about real-life commitments. Similarly, do not question the validity of other players’ real-life commitments. If you will be inactive for a prolonged period of time, inform the game host and I will do my best to replace you.

5. Mafia is a game about making arguments, but it is not a roleplaying game. Don’t go overboard. Lies are part of the game. Attacking someone’s credibility is part of the game. Do not overdo it. Everyone signed up to have fun, so keep the game fun. Reminder: This is only a subsection of the forum, and the forum's posting rules (particularly Rule 1 concerning proper English and legibility) apply. If you want people to put the effort into reading your posts, put the effort into making them readable.

6. Mafia is a game of analysis - removing a player’s ability to analyze things is against the spirit of the game. Keep references that only a handful of players would understand to a minimum. Encoded messages, hidden text, and other such methods are a no-no. Everything you have to say or not say should be clearly readable in your post by anyone.

7. Respect your fellow players, and their time. Don't be a jerk. Do not threaten to or actually get intentionally modkilled. Do not directly insult your fellow players - attack their play, but not them as a person. Mafia is a social game, and you are playing with real people, not just names on a screen. Respect other players' right to a good game. Give the game your best effort, no matter which team you're on. Mafia games require a time investment, and if you sign up, you're committing to spending that time and doing your part to contribute to a good game.

8. Do not edit your posts. Do not edit any QuickTopics you may be posting in. Do not quote information directly from your QuickTopic or your PM. Only living players may post in the game thread. Do not post in the game thread during the Night phase.

9. You may not privately communicate with anyone except the game moderator unless you're specifically allowed to do so. This includes using systems outside the scope of the game to communicate something game-related. Any game-related questions should be asked in your personal QuickTopic.

10. Do not use out-of-game information (such as Skype, other forum activity, other mafia activity, or real-life activity) to generate reads. Do not use out-of-game information to exert pressure or influence on this game. Do not mention out of game information in the context of explaining or speculating on a player’s alignment in this game.

11. Votes must be BRIGHTLY COLORED, bolded, and on a separate line. Any votes not following this format will not be counted. You will be rewarded with frequent and (probably) accurate vote counts.

12. This game uses a Hard Lynch / Soft Lynch system. Soft Lynch is a majority lynch. Hard Lynch is approximately 75% of the living votes. A Soft Lynch is sufficient to lynch a player at deadline. A Hard Lynch immediately ends the day. If Soft Lynch is not reached before deadline, there is No Lynch. If the votes are tied at deadline, there is No Lynch. When a Hard Lynch is reached, or the deadline occurs, whichever comes first, stop posting.

13. Mass claiming early in the game will not benefit town. You should probably avoid doing that. Flavor has not been included in QTs / role PMs and as such will not be revealed until death.

14. Do not fake Daytime activations. There may or may not be daytime abilities, but faking them will get you a Stern Warning or possibly modkilled.

15. Moderator decisions are final.

16. Good luck, and have fun! This is not optional.

Put me in as a sub, please.

 

P.S. Setup is still under review and may change slightly prior to gamestart.

 

yeah whatever in

 

@Jarizok not sure if your in from the other thread counts :v

 

/in x2

 

/spec or /mentor if needed

 

@ everyone who isn't playing, at least recruit someone so I can make new, better friends.

 

/in

 

I'll mentor Sprout if that's alright with everyone.

 

Is that a thing? Are we having people mentor newbies now?

 

I mean, it's not a new thing. Fonti mentored me my first game in 2014. But you're the mod so it's really up to you.

 

I mean, I'm totally fine with it.

I wish you all would just play instead, but. :v

Ummmmmmm it's not letting me update the OP.

 

after a few days, you can't edit past posts. Just update with a new one lol.

Yeah, DLP is not very user friendly when it comes to Mafia.

 

Editing posts is not top of the list as far as features you’d want for mafia go, but yeah, it’s not MU :/

 

No editing? On a writing forum?

 

I'm in!
