THE LEAGUE MAFIA

It was time for a new season of the league, but last year didn't count! How were they supposed to determine a draft order when no one trusted anyone else after last season's sabotage? It was time for a change... The gang decided that if they invited more out of towners, they could pin the losses on them and maybe less backstabbing would take place this season. But no one won the Shiva Bowl, so who got first pick? They thought to the Las Vegas draft and decided to invite all of the Out of Towners to Kevin and Jenny's house for this year's draft. They started a draft, but squabbling broke out immediately ... and it turned ugly. Who would go that far to get the players they wanted in fantasy football? It was time to find out, and to determine the fairest draft order at the same time. This season would not be a repeat of last.

This game features an

auction mechanic

on Days 1 and 3. Players will privately bid for football players to be on their teams. Eligible football players may or may not grant power roles, but no information outside of player name, team, and position will be given pre-draft.

Rules

(References: Equinox, ReaperCharlie, LlamaFluff, Vi, dramonic)

General

1. Be familiar with the sitewide rules and guidelines.
2. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. Use of homophobic, racist, sexist, or any other derogatory slurs falls under this rule. Keep it civil.
3. Play to your win condition.
4. Unless otherwise specified in your role PM or by me, you may not communicate outside of this thread while the game is running.
5. Do not quote or post any screen captures of any private communication to which you have access. This includes game-related PMs, QuickTopics, and instant messaging logs. Paraphrasing is okay.
6. If it is not visible to the naked eye, do not post it. This includes, but is not limited to: invisible text, tiny text, encrypted text, and text hidden within tags. Spoiler text, however, is allowed, as long as it is used within reason.
7. If you have the ability to edit your posts, don't use it in my game.
8. Regular and boldface
   dark purple
   -colored text are reserved for the moderator. All other formatting is fair game with the provision that you do not impersonate me or post in hidden text, as covered in another rule.

Activity

1. Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 72-hour period. Players who have been prodded have 48 hours to respond
   in the game thread
   before a replacement is sought.
2. Players who have been prodded 3 times are subject to replacement without further notice. After three prods, replacements will happen upon my discretion. Prod timers re-set with each new game Day.
3. Posting content is an absolute must. If a player posts nothing but prod dodges for an entire game Day, he or she will be subject to replacement upon my discretion.
4. If you anticipate being away for at least 48 hours, please PM me AND post a V/LA notice in the thread with the expected date of your return.

Pre-Game

1. During Pre-Game you will receive your role PM. Confirm by PM, as instructed.
2. Confirmed players will be bolded on the player list. When 12/13 players have confirmed, the 24-hour strategy period will begin.
3. After the 24-hour strategy period, the 4-day draft will begin, the specific rules of which can be found in the next post.
4. The mafia may discuss in their QT during pre-game until I instruct them not to.

Day

1. Days will have a fixed deadline of 14 real-time days. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances.
2. Players may vote to No Lynch; a no lynch will occur if a majority of players vote for no lynch or if no majority is achieved by deadline.
3. Lynch is achieved by simple majority.
4. Once majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count.
5. Votes should be on a separate line and flushed left, and MUST be bolded (e.g.,
   Vote: Amrun
   ). The same applies to vote revocations (e.g.,
   Unvote
   ). Unvotes are preferred but not necessary when switching votes (e.g.,
   Unvote, Vote: Amrun
   ). Use of the vote tags (e.g., VOTE: Amrun) is optional. Abbreviations are okay as long as it's clear for whom the vote is made.
6. If I think it's a vote, it is a vote.
7. All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to discuss in twilight phase until I post the death scene.
8. Dead players may make one "Bah!" post that contains no game-related content, but it must also contain a picture of a sheep and/or the word "OTTERCOCKS"

Night

1. Nights in this game will have a 72 hour deadline, and I reserve as much as 24 hours after that to process actions and post the flavor scene.
2. Players who have a night action to submit must send it in before the announced deadline. I accept provisional actions up until the announced deadline, at which time I will use the last action submitted.

Moderator Actions

1. Flavor is for entertainment purposes only and has no significance in the game.
2. If there is an error in the vote count or something similar, bold your concern in the thread. Please PM me for all other issues.
3. Violations of these rules will result in consequences. Pretending to violate these rules will also result in consequences. What those consequences are depend on the severity of the action and on the game state.
4. Any situation not covered above will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

I reserve the right to add, modify, or remove rules as necessary. I will notify you of all changes in the thread.

Please PM me if you need clarification on anything in the rules.

Draft Rules

-The draft starts now, at

Thursday, May 10, 5pm EST

. The thread will be open, but NO VOTES WILL BE COUNTED DURING THIS TIME.

-The draft will last 2 days (48 hours).

-Minimum initial bids are $10. After that, bids increase in increments of $1 minimum.

-Bids cannot be withdrawn, but a player’s money is not decreased unless (s)he actually wins the auction.

-A player’s combined outstanding bids must be equal or less than his or her current total available funds. In other words, you may not bid more money than you have available. Once you place a bid, that money is unavailable until you are no longer the highest bidder.

-If two bids are submitted for the same player at the same amount, the tie will be decided by PM time stamps.

-If a player goes without a new bid for 24 hours, the current high bidder will win the player.

-During the last 6 hours of the draft, no initial bids may be started.

Spoiler: First Draft Rules

-There will be a strategizing period of 1 day (24 hours), starting at

Wednesday, April 11, 2:30 pm EST

. All players with a mod-designated QT may discuss during this time and throughout the draft.

-During this time period, any player may submit

pre-bids.

In other words, when the official draft starts, pre-bids will become bids immediately. In case of a tie, the winner will be decided by a random number generator. You will be notified if there is a conflict with your bid.

-After that, the draft will last 4 days (96 hours), starting at

Thursday, April 12, 2:30 pm EST

.

-Minimum initial bids are $10. After that, bids increase in increments of $1 minimum.

-Bids cannot be withdrawn, but a player’s money is not decreased unless (s)he actually wins the auction.

-A player’s combined outstanding bids must be equal or less than his or her current total available funds. In other words, you may not bid more money than you have available. Once you place a bid, that money is unavailable until you are no longer the highest bidder.

-If two bids are submitted for the same player at the same amount, the tie will be decided by PM time stamps.

-If a player goes without a new bid for 24 hours, the current high bidder will win the player.

-During the last 6 hours of the draft, no initial bids may be started.

-On Day 3, there will be another draft of the remaining football players, the Waiver Round. Any or all of these rules may be modified for that draft. The Waiver Round will be conducted with each player's remaining funds from the initial draft.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Waiver Round will be conducted with the football players released from the teams of dead league members. If a player has been disabled in any way, being re-drafted will not enable him.

Spoiler: FAQ - Real Questions by You Guys, Answered

Q:

How many football players do I need?

A:

You don't "need" any. You may try for as many or as few as you choose.

Q:

Do I have to fill a team?

A:

No.

Q:

Is there a limit on how many players I bid for?

A:

As long as you follow the draft rules, above, you can bid for whomever you please.

Q:

If I happen to get multiple players that each grant abilities, can I use them all at once?

A:

Regardless of how many players you have, and how many powers they grant, only one

active

football player ability may be used per night.

Q:

For bidding, if we tie up our money in a bid, will we be notified immediately if we are outbid, thus releasing our money back to rebid?

A:

Not during the pre-bid strategy session, no. During the draft, bids will be updated as close to real-time as possible. In case of a tie, you will be notified, but otherwise, just keep track of who you bid for and how much. If the winning bid matches your bid and you don't receive a PM, you are the top bidder. (You can inquire at any time and I'll send periodic updates as well.)

Q:

Will there be a board with the current bids on each player?

A:

The top bid for each player will be public, but not the bidder.

Q:

Will the winner of each player be announced?

A:

No. You will know if you won a player and that's it.

Q:

Will the powers each player grant be known during or after the bid process?

A:

You will only learn whether or not a player grants a power, and if so, what he grants, when you win a player for your team.

Spoiler: First Draft Results

Draftable Players

Every player that has appeared on the show and/or had a significant role on the show is a draftable player; other draftable players were added with moderator discretion. These players have been ranked according this list: http://www.fftoolbox.com/football/adp.cfm?pos=top200, and extrapolation when necessary. Draft rank may or may not be relevant to potential role(s).

Watch this space during the draft for bid updates; bids will be updated as often as humanly possible.

Note: When I send you your result PMs after a bid, I will tell you who you are "currently" winning and how much money you have available. "Currently" doesn't mean the time you read the pm. It means the time I

send

it. I won't automatically update you if someone outbids you.

[Amrun]

The draft was happening, slowly but surely... Arguments cropped out, but everyone

thought

it was under control. "Collusion" was only said 27 times, which was an all-time low. So far, things were a success.

Until an Out of Towner, new to the league, was found beaten bloody in the bathroom. They stood over him, staring in horror.

"Oh my God," cried Jenny as the man came to. "What happened to you?"

But the Steelers fan wouldn't say - or perhaps couldn't, as his jaw may have been dislocated.

Andre took over, mopping the man's face, but the man waved Andre off. As soon as the man shook free, he ran out the front door, almost tearing it off its hinges.

The group looked at each other, the silence ominous. Who could have done this? Was football worth this much?

Mastermind of Sin -

Out of Towner

- has been driven off pre-game.



Day 1 begins.

Deadline is Monday, April 30, 3pm EST.

Can you be more of a waste of space and time?

BETTER HOPE I DIDNT ALSO DRAW A VIG TOO BECAUSE THAT ALONE MEANS YOU NEED TO DIE.

Nice non-answer. Your original post was saying you drew a godfather role, and implied it's investigation will return scum.

Is this what you said/implied, or not?

[SpyreX]

Yes.

I, as scum, announced I got GF and somehow said it will mean investigations on me will return scum because that would extra make sense.

Not, I, as town, drew the GF in the draft meaning there are NOT false innocents due to GF'ery.

[Untrod Tripod]

man I love ARE YOU CLAIMING SCUM!??!?!?!? in RVS

unvote, vote PeregrineV

[PeregrineV]

Yes.

I, as scum, announced I got GF and somehow said it will mean investigations on me will return scum because that would extra make sense.

Not, I, as town, drew the GF in the draft meaning there are NOT false innocents due to GF'ery.

GODFATHER

A Godfather is a role that investigates as Innocent (or some other favorable result) to Cops, regardless of their actual alignment.
This version of Godfather, as well as the first two variations below, are considered Normal on mafiascum.net.

Godfather is a name given exclusively to Mafia members.

Serial Killers with investigation immunity are simply called "investigation-immune"

.

MILLER

A Miller (sometimes called an Outsider) is a role or role modifier such that the player passively returns an unfavorable result (i.e. Guilty) if investigated by a Cop.
This version of Miller, and only this version of Miller, is considered Normal on mafiascum.net.

For obvious reasons, standard Millers are Town.
