--most important rule: be nice and don't be mean--
general:
- Please adhere to the site rules.
- Do not discuss this game of mafia outside of this thread.
- Day phases will last 12 days (or until an execution is achieved).
- Night Phases will last 48 hours maximum. On any given night, if all players PM me that they are okay to speed up the night, it will end sooner.
- During night phase, no talking may be done in the thread.
- Do not quote PM's from the mod at all (real or fabricated).
This includes specific timestamps; please ask me if you're uncertain whether something breaks this rule.
Paraphrasing is acceptable.
- If you have any questions about your role, or the game, feel free to PM the mod.
- "Bah" posts are not allowed.
- If you break any of these rules, you might get modzoinked.
voting / player actions:
- Vote either with vote tags (VOTE: schadd) or with bold (
vote: schadd
). Note that I didn't include the underscore in my username; you may choose to use a string that will uniquely identify a player to me instead of the exact thing.
- Don't try to confuse me with your votes.
- You may vote No Execution to Not Execute.
- An Execution will occur once a majority decision is reached. If no majority is reached by deadline, then no execution shall occur.
- Following an execution, it is twilight. You may continue to post until I lock the thread and declare it night.
- If nobody dies for 3 consecutive day and night phases, the town will win.
- If you have a Night Action, you may submit it from Night 1 and each subsequent Night (or whichever nights are specified by the role).
activity:
- You are expected to post at least once every 48 hours. If you haven't posted for 48 hours, I shall prod you. If you do not respond to the prod within 24 hours (either in thread if it's Day, or via PM during the Night) then I will replace you.
- As well, if you require more than three prods, I will force-replace you.
-
If you decide to replace out, PLEASE PM me and don't post in thread after doing so - if you want to rescind the replacement BLEASE PM ME AGAIN and dont post in thread until i have been like "ok np"
mechanics:
-
Aquamarine, 21B35F
is my color. Please don't use it.
- No impossible/hard to read text, or cryptography. For example, I would prefer that no font size smaller than the one you're reading now be used.
- The mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
- If you need to get the mod's attention, either PM me, or bold the text you wish to draw to my attention.
- I reserve the right to alter/remove/add any rules as I see fit. You will, of course, be notified if that happens, however.
the majority of players will be town. everyone is multitasking. private topics will generally always be open. there is no redirection. if you can think of something similar to redirection, it's probably not in this. this is also generally unlike a role madness game - plenty of people will be vanilla or almost vanilla.
roles will flip with their name and alignment, with clarifications added for certain unfamiliar things.
you can ask me questions.

you find yourself floating through the halls of the vote house. suddenly your floating coincides with a man who is walking down the corridors of the vote house and monologuing. he is looking up at you as he walks, but it seems like he is talking through you.
hello. i am Rodney Soundthebell, the Majority Orator Imperator General of the Left-Conservatives. i've got a lot on my mind lately as always
[the word "mind" is elongated with that drawl typical of the Left- and Center-Conservatives]
and foremost among them is your right as a citizen to craft and sell guns. that's right baby, high power weaponry. the individual property and mutually beneficial transaction of these godly, precious objects is something i'd sell any of my esteemed colleagues down the river to protect even the littlest bit. and i
do
apologize for any time i must spend peeled away from this quest from the heavens, i knew you all came to this house to vote for me to recapture your rights in that deliciously incremental style but a Majority Orator Imperator has many other tasks. such as sexual espionage. after all, would y'all all not rather i sold my esteemed opponents down the river instead? a ha-ha ha.
naow, don't you go thinkin you can shoot those guns - not a demon in hell would be so evil as to let anyone do that. and yet - and tell me you haven't heard about this one - those Center-Conservatives are just short of putting that in their party platform! imagine these united states as somewhere guns can just eject material willy nilly. imagine if those could kill people! that is the future the Center-Conservatives want and i'd sell any of my esteemed colleagues down the river to stop them from corrupting our ad-ults in that way. So, to recap-
[he has a sudden and intense collision with a woman wearing all blue]
sorry MOIG Soundthebell
she pronounced MOIG like "mwahg"
but i knew that the only way to get your attention was with a hearty and well-intentioned bump. we have been granted a Bill Brigade by the Judgator General; please select two of these 5 bill proposals at random to ratify.
[the woman fans out five pale blue envelopes. the one in the middle is stretched out slightly further, apparently as some kind of psychological trick to get the man to choose it. or maybe reject it? the man roars out in agony at being so coerced, and selects the two envelopes on his right. both of them morph into blue rats and begin scampering toward the small crack in the wall which houses the Approval Chamber. the mildness of the blue color indicates to you, an informed viewer, that the chosen bills of brigade were not so great of a dupe; the experienced man chose well.]
[the woman turns on her heel and hastens down the hallway towards the Voting Integrity Tract. you seem to float along with her now. she begins monologuing as well, or maybe continues a monologue that you weren't hearing before. she does not turn to look at you, rather keeping her eyes on the field.]
in the blue party, we know that water is life.
[she elongates the word "life" in the typical way of the Blues' idioms.]
and what is life but a series of japes and tricks? i, myself, and many of my esteemed colleagues (to whom i would sell all of my rivers) consider it our duty, almost before any other, to confound these silly decorums and dulces that plague the proceedings of the votehouse, instead opting to bend the laws and summon the votes to any condition that best preserves even the darkest and grittiest depths of our earth and its oceans. we trick our oppositional colleagues; we borrow brazenly the most outlandish sums of Vote Wealth with no plans to repay it; we cyberbully opposing voters and thought leaders in a way that hardly even seems like bullying (in fact it is more like platonic catfishing). at no point have i ever stopped to consider -
[at this point she is no longer audible - she was walking very fast and you were sort of just floating at a normal pace. off to the races, the woman and you both.]
authors note: sorry about the obvious self insert character lol
