Rules


Rules and format
inspired by
shamelessly stolen from Plotinus, and then modified slightly.

important bit
  • Day One: up to 10 days, Day Two and beyond: up to 7 days, Night: 48 hours.
  • Majority lynches.
  • Vote tags are necessary. Anything else will not count as a vote.
    e.g. VOTE: eth0s is valid.
    vote: eth0s
    is not. vote:eth0s is not.
  • Not posting: 36 hours before prod, 24 hours after that until replacement. Second prod is final. A third will not be given.
  • Bah posts not allowed.
  • Don’t be a dick.

  1. Follow all site rules.

  2. Mod color
    – My mod color is
    orange
    ; don't attempt to impersonate me with it.
  3. Behavior
    - Don’t be a dick. Attack the play not the player.
  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. Provable randomness
    - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or displaying (for example) random.org results is not.
  6. Claiming scum
    - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
  7. Cryptography
    - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay. If you have more questions about this I will be happy to answer via PM on a case by case basis.
  8. Confirmation
    - You have 48 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start when 7/9 confirm. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
  9. Days
    - Day One lasts 10 days and other days last 7 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements or site issues
  10. 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 post in the game thread before you have been officially replaced you may remain in the game. 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. You will receive an unofficial prod alongside the night start PM if you do not post 24 hours before night begins. You will be replaced if you do not respond to this night prod within 36 hours.
  11. Vacation/Limited Access
    If you need to be absent for longer than this, PM me or state in the thread (in bold) that you are going V/LA and when you expect it to end. While you are V/LA, you will be prodded at a slower rate depending on the circumstances. If you have not posted game advancing content in 4 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
  12. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM, any mod communication, or anything from a Private Thread.
  13. Voting
    - Votes must be in vote tags VOTE: eth0s. Type [
    v]eth0s[
    /v] to vote and [
    uv]eth0s[
    /uv] to unvote (unvotes are not necessary to change votes and may also be entered as a simple [
    uv][
    /uv]). Nicknames in vote tags will generally be accepted as long as I clearly understand which player you are talking about.
  14. Lynching
    - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to lynch somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no lynch, the day will end without a lynch. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no lynch.
  15. 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.
  16. Night
    - Night lasts 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.
  17. Action submissions
    - You may submit actions via PM (if town) or PT (if applicable). 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.
  18. Reminders
    - If I don't hear from you about your night actions, I'll try 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.
  19. Notes PT
    - Let me know if you want a private thread to store your thoughts and feedback for the other players. This thread will be made public immediately after the game. You may draft posts in your notes PT but you may not talk about your notes PT in public. You definitely may not use the notes PT to demonstrate that you've had a town mindset in private all along; just put your town mindset in public to begin with and keep your notes to yourself.
  20. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!
  21. Loopholes
    - No rule list is perfect. Do not abuse loopholes or it will be handled at my discretion. If you wonder if a certain action is legal, PM me for clarification.

Introduction and Tips


Here are some helpful links (a lot of them from our helpful wiki):

-> Forum Rules and Guidelines
-> The Glossary
-> Commonly Used Abbreviations
-> The Newbie Guide
-> Articles on How to Play Well (be sure to check the dates these were written/updated, as good advice changes over time)


Key Concepts and Tips


Activity


Try to check in at least once a day.
Besides the activity requirements listed in Plotinus' original post, it's just necessary for a fun and healthy game that everyone
plays
. If you post very rarely, or only post a little bit at a time, you may get scumread for lurking. Even if you are not scumread for it, what's the fun in playing a game where multiple people are hardly participating?

Site Meta


Meta is the description of how people on Mafiascum like to play mafia. Things can be different on other online mafia sites, or if you play IRL, so it's good to know what's expected of you on this site. These aren't "rules", per se, but if you don't follow these guidelines it is likely things will go poorly for you on MS. Some examples are...

Random Voting Stage (RVS)

Games on MafiaScum almost always begin with what we call the Random Voting Stage (RVS). At this point in the game, we are in a low information game state (except the mafia, which know everyone’s alignment). As a way to provoke reaction, start a discussion, and try to determine alignment, people will usually vote for non-serious reasons. As the discussion progresses, we will eventually get the game moving and progress out of RVS.

Voting, L-x, and Hammers

L-x is a way to convey how far away a player is away from a lynch. For example, you should always announce that you are putting someone at L-1 (1 vote away from a lynch) so that someone doesn’t come along and accidentally vote for that players lynch. This also prevents Mafia-aligned players from coming along and placing the final vote to lynch (“hammer”) and claiming ignorance about doing so. You may also see L-2 and L-3 (2 votes away from a lynch and 3 votes away from a lynch, respectively).

Before you hammer a player, state your intent to hammer (usually done in bold) and ask the player to claim their role. This is done to prevent power roles from being lynched, and can sometimes get Mafia-aligned players to be caught (via counter claiming). It's best to then allow other players to react and discuss the claim before hammering.


Claiming Your Role

It is almost always best to not claim your role unless you are at L-1 and have been asked to claim as part of an “intent to hammer.” This is because, as a town power role (“PR”), if you out prematurely, you are likely to be night-killed (“NK’d”). As a Vanilla Townie (“VT”), claiming early helps the mafia team narrow down the setup and possible PR candidates. An exception to this would be if a mafia player claimed your role, claiming early to counter the false claim (“CC”) would out the mafia player, and would be a benefit to the town.

Do not fake claim a power role as town!
While it may help you avoid getting lynched, you might cause a real PR to out themselves by counter claiming - then the mafia will know who the PR is, and you will probably get lynched for lying to town. Feel free to fake a claim as scum, though, if you think it would help.

LyLo

LyLo is the shortened representation of “lynch or lose.” LyLo in the Newbie Queue is when there are 3 remaining players, 2 of which are town and 1 is mafia; or when there are 5 remaining players, 3 of which are town and 2 are mafia. It is important in these situations that the town aligned players do not carelessly vote like is done during RVS or early days, as the mafia player(s) can organize and instantly provide the necessary votes to lynch (“quickhammer”) and win the game.

Conclusion

Mafia is hard!
As town, it can be hard to figure things out, and stressful when people think you're scum.
That's okay!
Just share your thoughts on who you think is scum as they come to you, and don't be afraid to change your mind. As scum, it can be hard to lie convincingly, and stressful when people think you're scum. Don't let that scare you! Try to think of what you would post if you were town, and don't be afraid to "change your mind".

This is a game.
Have fun!

Wow I just realized I never locked this before creation so uh thanks for not posting here before the game began.

I sent the role PMs roughly 20.5 hours ago, which I also meant to announce here (off to a great start eh?) which means that you have
(expired on 2019-10-23 15:00:00)
to confirm your role if you haven't already before I search for a replacement.

Note: all deadlines this game will use the timer above (underlined this time) that are accurate each time you refresh the page.

I've been wanting to try something different with RVs

1. If you were in a 4 piece band (front man singer, guitar, bass and drums) which do you choose and why?

2. Do you play poker? How would you describe your play?

3. Oh shit... It looks like this is still in progress, just answer the first two and we'll be good.

ETL we've played before right? Have you seen me as scum?

How is doing something different from everyone else and making myself a target as a result a good play for scum!me?

Ive been thinking about this for awhile as an alternative to me doing RVs because I feel like I can get a bit more of a glimpse into how people think this way (especially in newbies where I don't know many people and they are just getting started so it's more difficult to get reads).

If I ask the right questions I can get people to commit to certain things before the game even starts and then have a better base line as things go on.

I'm not avoiding voting, I'm just doing it in my own way this game. If you think I'm scum for that, by all means have at it.

First of all, I'd like to propose the question: that being why? What have I done to raise your suspicions of me? Nothing. I have had yet to post and you've already wrongly accused me of being scum.

It appears that everyone is random voting, which, as we have no leads (that it is day one, this would be expected) but we must collaborate. Give a reason WHY you are voting for you who are voting for.

Otherwise, the random votes will only raise my suspicions of the offender...

I feel like we may have crossed paths before but I have no memory of it.

This is a newbie game. I mean, this argument is kinda WIFOMy anyway, but to answer you, not voting allows scum to pretend they're playing while not ruffling anyone's feathers. RVS can be dangerous for scum because there isn't anything else to scrutinize.

Sure. That may be an explanation, and even a real one at that, but I have no way to know if it truly is yet or not.
I'm not avoiding voting, I'm just doing it in my own way this game. If you think I'm scum for that, by all means have at it.
:] For now, is good.

First of all, I'd like to propose the question: that being why? What have I done to raise your suspicions of me? Nothing. I have had yet to post and you've already wrongly accused me of being scum.

It appears that everyone is random voting, which, as we have no leads (that it is day one, this would be expected) but we must collaborate. Give a reason WHY you are voting for you who are voting for.

Otherwise, the random votes will only raise my suspicions of the offender...
Holy cow, why are you are so nervous...?

This is a very scummy response, town wouldn't be so worried of being voted as a townie being lynched gives reads of who was on their wagon and why, while scum are much more nervous about being lynched and this is hyper shown here.

That's not what I meant... I'm just struggling to understand why people are random voting. To me it seems like a rather inefficient manner of eliminating the mafia, and with faüstiv's vote it only raises my suspicions of them, after all a common mafia tactic is to vote for an innocent to get leverage over the town not only at night but also at day via lynch.

You can vote me, that's fine. I just wanted to prod some perspective on
why
faüstiv decided to vote for me. They did say they thought I was scum after all, so I'm wondering what it was that made them think that, especially with the fact that I had yet to post once.

Voting me out will only assist the Mafia in gaining leverage as I swear to you I am town aligned... I will not Role Claim unless you absolutely require me to do so in order to "prove" my innocence, especially as it is advised against in means of narrowing down town, but I am ever so happy to cooperate.

I appear "nervous" as I do not wish to be voted out, especially on D1 of such a long game. I know that this is silly, especially because of D1 lasting for 10 in real life days and only having received a singular lynch vote, but I digress. I have a thing with being wrongly accused, I am the honest type especially while being town aligned, in which I rush to defend myself and I can easy see why that appears suspicious... Not only was my response out of uneasiness but it also came from curiosity. I am curious what prompted the initial vote... I couldn't find a reason why other than based on a gut instinct, but the only thing that gut instinct could've been based out of would've been my username?

I've played forum based mafia once before on another website, in which I was on the mafia.

As for mafia in general, I have played many different variants in a more gamified approach- but haven't had access due to lack of a cellular phone.

UNVOTE:

Getting super new vibes from Gilded, so I don't know that the jumpiness actually applies here. I also like the thought process of "they're voting me and I'm town so they must be mafia". While misguided and incorrect, I was the same way when I first started.

Guilded
RVS (random voting stage) is just the first part of the game where people vote whoever for whatever reason, most often made up, to get the game started. It's generally accepted that these votes are not "serious" or "real". Most people tend to use the reactions to those random votes as a starting point to reading people.

WRT claiming - don't. We are far far far from that being necessary yet.

p-edit: Understood, thanks! What site was that, if I may ask?
