    Damn ..

    So now I have to decide to either jump out of Vons Witchhunt game, which is a setup I really love.

    Or Cobalts closed setup "teen wolf", which he is struggling to get people to play.

    If anyone reading this wants to play in Cobalts Teen wolf on mafia universe, so i can dip out without feeling like a giant asshole, that would be highly appreciated ;)

    Banks died last night in his mash, so he might sign in. But he also is a big old stupid hat, so he might just not, we'll see.

    Possibly, let me take a look.

    30 players, 48 hour days... sorry, but no thanks.

    I can poke at some other people who might be interested, but day phases that short resemble more spamfests ending in random lynches than actual mafia, to me.

    Banks is at work, but he should in whenever he is home or has some spare time.
    or he is lying to me on skype, which is not unlikely!

    Signups close at noon tomorrow. Right now we're sitting at 16 / 2, which is great.

    Here are the rules. If anyone has any questions, ask myself or Eido.

    American Gods Mafia

    Rules

    1. This is a closed setup, where player alignment and role will be revealed upon death. There is not a list of roles that may or may not be included. This will be a medium complexity game.

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

    3. Day 1 lasts 120 hours, Day 2 lasts 96 hours, subsequent days are 72 hours. All nights are 24 hours.

    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. Attempting to decide if a player is town or mafia based on a flavor claim also has the potential to end badly. You’ve been warned.

    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.​

    Setup is complete for 16 players.

    It can be tweaked if there's a massive influx of signups in the next 8-12 hours, but it is currently good to go.

    Note: If there's a rule missing, let us know, kind of want to use this as a semi-universal rule list for future closed games, so. Yeah.

    Reminder - we have 4-5 first time players in this game, and ~7 pretty new players to mafia in general.

    Make sure to be polite to them and introduce them to our beloved game gently as you try to ram the lynch down their throat.

    Also, any questions you have about mafia in general, I'll respond to by forum PM before the game starts! That's open to anyone. But mostly the 7-8 players in question.

    By which I mean not Snowvon. Because he'd probably get bored and spam me. <3

    Most, but not all, have checked in.

    This means game start will be in 23.5 hours!

    Feel free to ask us questions if you have them in your personal (or team) quicktopic, or just chat with us. Newcomb gets lonely.

    The game thread post will have multiple posts by Eido and myself before the day officially starts. Please do not post in the game thread until I say "Day begins."

    Going to be using DLP's new "Threadmarks" feature for this game to tag Day start/ends. Should be pretty useful for navigating the thread.

    Test, test. This is a bookmark.

    Nice, it works. So in the game thread, see those menu drop-downs at the top of the thread? Now there's one that says "Bookmarks." It'll drop down a list of every Day Start / Day end.

    Pretty nice, eh?
