I reserve the right to change any of the following rules at any time. I will also inform the players in thread and via PM in the unlikely scenario in which this is required.
This list is not necessarily all-inclusive. If you're unsure whether or not something is allowed, please PM me about it.
Disregarding the rules may result in consequences up to and including modkill and/or force-replacement.
There is to be NO PRIVATE OR OUTSIDE OF THREAD COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER PLAYERS IN THIS GAME ABOUT THIS GAME AT ANY TIME
If you need to talk to me in thread,
please use bold.
Additionally, feel free to PM me with any questions you might have.
Please do not use hidden or encrypted text.
Play to win.
Please treat your fellow players with respect. At the same time, please try not to take comments personally whenever possible.
Please allow for your fellow players to go V/LA.
Please keep me in the loop about your own V/LA status.
Purple is my color. Please do not use purple.
Have Fun!
Gameplay
The following vote formats are the de-facto standard on the site (aka votes should be enclosed with vote tags or bold tags. I don't care about caps/spelling/etc.)
VOTE: borkjerfkin
Vote: borkjerfkin
UNVOTE: /
unvote
declarations are valid to remove your vote, but are
not
required in order to change it.
If it appears to be a vote for a player, I will treat it as a vote for a player. Please don't attempt to fool me or other players with regard to fake votes. Do not put votes in spoiler tags.
An
elimination
is achieved when half plus one of the current number of living players are voting for the same player. If this does not occur by deadline, a No Elimination will occur -- there is no plurality elimination in this game.
Twilight is the time between the 'hammer' vote being cast and the beginning of the night phase. All living players, including the most recent elimination, may talk during this time.
Players' alignments will be revealed on death.
When killed, a player may make one informationless 'bah' post at the beginning of the next day phase and must be silent thereon until the conclusion of the game.
Please submit all night actions either via your private topic if you have one, or by PM if you do not.
If you have a night action and do not submit one, you will not take an action. I will not resolve your action on a random person.
Player List is ordered alphabetically by the initial players' names.
Role distribution is guaranteed to be random, determined with the aid of random.org
Deadlines
See setup specific post for phase lengths in this game.
This game is based off the video game Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Playing this game may spoil the plot, but knowing the plot is not required to function.
This game will have somewhat tight activity requirements - even during night phases, that require everyone to pay at least a little bit of attention.
General Mechanics
There are
17 Town Players
and
5 Mafia Players.
There are no third parties.
Mafia may communicate with each other at all times.
Mafia may perform factional kill in conjunction with any other abilities unless otherwise specified.
There are four broad classifications of roles:
Driver
,
Blade
,
Driver/Blade
, and
Special
All players will Flip as <Player Name>, <Character Name>, <Alignment> <Classification>. No abilities will be shown in a flip.
Unless otherwise specified, assume that any X-shot abilities are non-refundable if they fail.
Day Mechanics
Days will be 10 real life days long.
Day play is standard. Players vote as normal, and simple majority is eliminated and flips as normal; game proceeds to night.
Night Miscellany
Night is separated into four discrete periods, and as such night will last a total of 96 hours rather than the normal 48. I promise that everyone at least has
something
to do at night.
Because of the shortness of some phases, there will be a buffer period where I officially declare the start of night post flip.
If a character is classified as a Driver/Blade, they can only ever perform one of the two roles in a single night.
The Mafia factional kill operates separately from the Driver/Blade mechanic.
Any characters classified as
Special
reserve the right to operate completely outside of Driver/Blade constraints.
There may be other Active or Passive abilities in the game that are external to the Driver/Blade mechanic.
Blade Abilities resolve as if the
Blade
is performing the ability for purposes of action resolution
There is no standard for how investigative results are distributed to Driver/Blade pairs - all abilities will specifically disclose this information.
Night Mechanics
I reserve the right to lengthen any of these phases or delay the start of Night entirely to account for holidays. My desire is not to create a situation where someone missed actions because they don't have time to play.
Phase 1
: Sunset (12+ hours). Any
Drivers
will choose a player they want to link up with by PMing it to me. For the link to be successful, this player must be acting as a
Blade
the same night. Drivers may pre-submit this choice to me any time prior to night start. Drivers are NOT required to attempt a link.
Phase 2
: Evening (24 hours). Any
Blades
that received
Driver
applicants will be notified. Blades may only pick one of them, and must pick exactly one of them to link with. Drivers will be listed in the order submitted, and if the Blade does not submit a choice, the first Driver in the list will be selected.
Phase 3
: Night (48 hours). Any resulting
Driver
/
Blade
pairs will then be given a Neighborhood that lasts for the next 48 hours, after which it will be permanently closed. During this time, the
Driver
may select the target of the
Blade Ability
that the
Blade
will use that night, of which only the Blade knows (and may advertise to the driver if they wish). The
Driver
may target themselves, but they may NOT target their
Blade.
The
Driver
may change this target any time during that phase. Otherwise, the two may talk.
Phase 4
: Dawn (12+ hours). The Neighborhood is now locked, and the
Blade
member of the pair may then choose to use a Blade Ability that they possess, usually targeted against the
Driver's
target. Blades may possess more than one Blade Ability, but only ever may use a maximum of one per night. Some Blade Abilities may ignore the Driver's target or not require a target at all. This choice may be preloaded during Night via PM, but be aware of the final target chosen by the Driver.
Blades
may preload this choice to me in the previous night phase, either unilaterally or conditionally based on the target chosen by the
Driver
(e.g. "If Driver chooses Player X, use <ability>, but if Driver chooses Player Y, do nothing")
At the end of Dawn, all night actions will be processed, and Day will start.

Going to lengthen D1 to 14 days in the hope of completely dodging the American Thanksgiving holiday week. If we end up with a night that goes over this, I will likely pause the game at Sunset.
Let us not wallow in the valley of apathy, I say to you today, my friends.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the Mafiascum dream.
I have a dream that one day this thread will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We found scum."
I have a dream that one day on the mafsepia hills of Theme Park, the sons of former red role PMs and the sons of former third parties will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the subforum of Coney Island, a subforum sweltering with the heat of scumfucks, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice and town wins.
I have a dream that my daughter will one day join the site, and live in a Theme Park where she will not be judged by the color of their role PM, but by the content of her shitposting.
I have a dream today!

Have retired for good; Life is too busy to have time or energy for mafia. It was fun~
Blanket request for all to keep postcounts down, there’s 22 players and the vast majority are... chatty. Save it for PTs if at all possible. Let’s get d1 sorted by page 100.

Hello friends and foes
I am here with a role claim to start off this game.
Unfortunately for a certain individual I have in fact rolled "Cop with a N0" and I opted to use my role on the terrifying "MariaR".
It has come to my attention after receiving my result that she is aligned with the Mafia.
Please help me eliminate her from the game.
Not voting with me is borderline a scum claim.
VOTE: MariaR
ah yes, beeboy style reads;
if this person flips town, then i'll townread them. - Nahdia
