Rules
Rules and formatinspired byshamelessly stolen from Plotinus, and then modified slightly.
- Follow all site rules.
- – My mod color isMod colororange; don't attempt to impersonate me with it.
- - Don’t be a dick. Attack the play not the player.Behavior
- - 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.Don't talk about ongoing games
- - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or displaying (for example) random.org results is not.Provable randomness
- - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.Claiming scum
- - 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.Cryptography
- - 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.Confirmation
- - Day One lasts 10 days and other days last 7 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements or site issuesDays
- - 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.Activity
- 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.Vacation/Limited Access
- - 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.Quoting
- - Votes must be in vote tags VOTE: eth0s. Type [Votingv]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. If I think it's a vote, it's a vote.
- - 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.Lynching
- - 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.Twilight
- - 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.Night
- - 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.Action submissions
- - 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.Reminders
- - 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.Notes PT
- - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!Play to win
- - 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.Loopholes

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 everyoneplays. 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!it's a zero in my name (for PM purposes etc)- eth0s

Role PMs sent, which means that you have(expired on 2019-11-24 16:00:00)to confirm your role if you haven't already before I search for a replacement.
Game will begin when 7 out of 9 players have confirmed their role.

It's mega anime largely because it is anime. It's this girl https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Masumi_Sera.
