Greatest Idea Mafia is a semi-open setup with a UPick-esque role choice mechanic that allows
players to choose their role and alignment given a set of options.
Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
You may not quote private communication of any kind. This includes moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.
Activity/Prods/Replacements
Prods of missing players will be issued after 48 hours of no activity.
A prodded player has 24 hours to respond to the prod, after which time a replacement search will begin. The prodded player may re-enter the game so long as no replacement has been found.
A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
If you anticipate being unavailable for more than 48 hours please PM me or post in the thread to declare V/LA.
I reserve the right to force replace players who need extensively long V/LA at my own discretion.
Deadlines
Deadlines for this game will be 14 days for Day Phases and 2 days for Night Phases.
Extensions are given only in extreme circumstances.
If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
Player Actions/Voting/Player Death
A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down). If no one has a simple majority of votes at deadline a No Lynch will occur.
Votes must be bolded or use the [.vote] tags to be counted (e.g.
Vote: Player
or VOTE: Player).
Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
You may
Vote: No Lynch
- a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
Votes made using nicknames or abbreviations will be counted at my discretion. Fake vote gambits should be executed at your own peril. If I think its a vote, then its a vote.
Miscellaneous
I will use
Bolded Dark Blue
(#004080) for Mod posts. Don't impersonate me. No invisible/small/encrypted text is allowed.
Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to my discretion and will be handled as I see fit on a case-by-case basis.
Three separate setups will be generated for this game. The setup with the best overall balance between factions will be used as determined by the game moderator.
For each setup, the cards numbered 1-146 (as listed on the 5th of May, 2017 revision of the Greater Idea Mafia page) will be shuffled, and three are given to each player. Each card represents an alignment and role.
Players will receive one PM with the cards they have been dealt in each of the three setups.
Players will have 48 hours to choose for each setup: one card to represent their alignment, and a second, different card to represent their ability. The third card will be publicly discarded.
Once all players have submitted their choices a setup will be determined and role PM's will be sent out.
All private threads in this game are open for Daytalk.
The Aliens may use up to three factional kills in this game.
Here is a sample Vanilla Townie Role PM:
Spoiler: The Win Conditions are...
Town
: You win when all threats to the Town have been eliminated and there is at least one Town player alive, or if nothing can prevent such a scenario.
Mafia
: You win when all threats to the Mafia have been eliminated and there is at least one Mafia player alive, or if nothing can prevent such a scenario.
Werewolf
: You win when all threats to the Werewolves have been eliminated and there is at least one Werewolf player alive, or if nothing can prevent such a scenario.
Alien

Lyncher
: You win if (your target) is lynched with you on the wagon. If you are unsuccessful, you lose. If your result occurs before the game ends, you will be removed from the game, and it will continue as long as it would otherwise not end.
Serial Killer
: You win when one of the following are true:
1. All threats to you have been eliminated and you are still alive, or if nothing can prevent such a scenario.
2. All threats to you have been eliminated and your death occurred in the most recent game phase, or if nothing can prevent such a scenario.
Cult
: You win when all threats to the Cult have been eliminated and there is at least one Cult player alive, or if nothing can prevent such a scenario.
Cards are out. Please submit your choices in the next (expired on 2019-03-15 23:15:00).
Please let me know if you have any questions about how stuff works. I should be available to answer in a pretty reasonable timeframe over the next couple days.
Everyone's choices are in and I've decided we will be using setup C. I'm hoping to have role PM's created within 24 hours and Day 1 started not long after that. Stay tuned for updates.
