Spoiler: Sample Role PM

Nexus, you are

Adolf Hitler, Fascist Moderator

"Germany will either be a world power or will not be at all."

Abilities:

Modkill

-

"I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature."

If someone breaks any rule ever, you have the power of modkill. This means you stomp them and they die. Forever.

Vote

- During the day, you must try to root out any threats to your town. You have a vote which you may use to help lynch someone.

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated, and at least one pro-town player is alive.

The game thread is here.

Please confirm that you've read and understood your role PM and are ready to play by replying to this PM with your role name.

Game Rules:

Rule 0: Don't be a dick.

- If you are being a dick, you run the risk of force-replacement or modkill. You may or may not be warned.

General:

- Please adhere to the site rules.
- Do not discuss this game of mafia outside of this thread unless your role PM allows you to do so.
- Day phases will last 2 weeks maximum.
- Night Phases will last 48 hours maximum.
- During night phase, no talking may be done in the thread.
- Do not quote PM's from the mod at all (real or fabricated). Paraphrasing is acceptable.
- If you have any questions about your role, or the game, feel free to PM the mod.

Voting/Player Actions:

- All votes must be in bold format:

vote: Nexus

for example.
- Try to unvote before voting. Unvotes must also be in bold.
- Any and all votes will be counted, if you wish to waste a day phase voting for someone not in the game,that's fine by me.
- You may vote No Lynch.
- Voting tricks are not acceptable. If you misspell someone's name intentionally, but I get the gist of it, the vote will count.
- A lynch will occur once a majority decision is reached. If no majority is reached by deadline, then no lynch shall occur.
- Following a lynch, it is twilight. You may continue to post until I lock the thread and declare it night.
- If you are killed, one Bah! type post is permitted. No game related information must be relayed during them, however.
- If you have a Night Action, you may submit it from Night 1 and each subsequent Night. No other time.

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 48 hours (either in thread if it's Day, or via PM during the Night) then I will replace you.
- Similarly, if you require more than three prods, I will force-replace you.

Mechanics:

- Blue is my colour. Please don't use it.

- Confirm by how your Role PM tells you to once you are ready to play. Once there are 17 confirms, the game begins.
- Do not edit your posts.
- No impossible/hard to read text, or cryptography.
- 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 there is a hydra in the game, you must not post in your normal account. Doing so and then not quoting it as a hydra will invite a warning. Excessive failure to post as a hydra and not quoting it will result in force-replacement.
- 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.

Roles are being randomised and Role PMs are being sent out.

Role PMs are now out. Please confirm as detailed in the PM.

Day 1 begins when 10/13 have confirmed.[/color]

The date was 23rd March 1933. Adolf Hitler was stood in front of the Reichstag. His National Socialist Democrat Party had been filibustering and preventing any laws from being passed, as they knew that they would struggle with getting a majority. They walked out, shouted, heckled anyone, and generally caused a nuisance of themselves. Today, however, was different. They were quiet. They were attentive. Their glorious leader was trying to get the Enabling Act passed, which would allow him, as chancellor, to have almost absolute power. He had just stood up to make his last speech:

"By its decision to carry out the political and moral cleansing of our public life, the Government is creating and securing the conditions for a really deep and inner religious life. The advantages for the individual which may be derived from compromises with atheistic organizations do not compare in any way with the consequences which are visible in the destruction of our common religious and ethical values. The Government will treat all other denominations with objective and impartial justice. It cannot, however, tolerate allowing membership of a certain denomination or of a certain race being used as a release from all common legal obligations, or as a blank cheque for unpunishable behavior, or for the toleration of crimes. [The national Government will allow and confirm to the Christian denominations the enjoyment of their due influence in schools and education.] And it will be concerned for the sincere cooperation between Church and State. The struggle against the materialistic ideology and for the erection of a true people's community (Volksgemeinschaft) serves as much the interests of the German nation as of our Christian faith. ...The national Government, seeing in Christianity the unshakable foundation of the moral and ethical life of our people, attaches utmost importance to the cultivation and maintenance of the friendliest relations with the Holy See. ...The rights of the churches will not be curtailed; their position in relation to the State will not be changed."

People were in awe. Of course this was the right decision. Nobody wanted to oppose the Austrian. He was such an inspiring, intelligent, wonderful leader! Spontaneous applause broke out all across the Reichstag. Adolf Hitler allowed himself the tiniest of smiles, and began to walk off of the stage. That's when it happened. A shot rang out. Hitler crumpled to the ground, blood pouring out of a wound in his head. The Reichstag was in uproar.

The perpetrators were never caught. Adolf Hitler was dead.

Day 1 ends at 8am (BST) on the 30th July 2012. With 13 alive it takes 7 to lynch

[Bitmap]

Damn, I liked Hitler. Okay, RVS time.

VOTE: iDanyboy

For being first name.

[Quilford]

VOTE: Bitmap

For liking Hitler. Also, you're scum.

[Staeg]

vote: quilford

dude, hitler's the mod, ergo town

[Quilford]

The mod is town? Isn't he playing against his wincon by not revealing the scum, then?

@Nexus: please reveal the scum in your next post or I'm taking this to mith. Ta.

[Staeg]

There's clearly a self-imposed post restriction somewhere... Hm...

[IceGuy]

Damn, I liked Hitler.

I liked Hitler.

VOTE: Bitmap

[IceGuy]

Seriously though, what would you guys think of a mass name claim?

[Staeg]

I don't see it as having any use whatsoever.

[IceGuy]

I have an idea what kind of use that could be - so I'm asking for reasons why we shouldn't do this.

[Staeg]

Well, that's not what you said, but a potential reason is that there's a small possibility that scum have a name-based ability.

[Shamrock]

Some names might well give away powers - if you had something like Bob Woodward as a name that person would probably be an investigator of some kind. Not sure there is any reason to risk that unless you think there is a definite benefit which outweighs that risk.

...no.

Lol IceGuy is probtown

VOTE: Amrun

[Amrun]

VOTE: MattP

Oh my God, you suck!

No to mass name claim.

[DCLXVI]

vote:ICEguy

Seriously though, what would you guys think of a mass name claim?

Um...It's history mafia. That means scum have 4000+ years of fakeclaim's they can use. This has pretty much 0 potential to catch scum and a decent chance of hurting town by outing a claim that would likely be a pr.

[ChaosOmega]

vote: Amrun

Staeg, why dismiss that out of hand? Are you saying that name claims are in no way indicative of power?

[Amrun]

I think we have no way of knowing, but on the off chance that they ARE, then it's basically the most horrible idea ever. Also what dcl said.

[Staeg]

No. I refuse to believe that Nexus would base role power on their historical presence.

[ChaosOmega]

So you think role power and name are completely separate? I would disagree with that. Then you have goofy shit running around like Gandhi the vigilante and Genghis Khan the doctor.

[DCLXVI]

Names definitely could have something to do with power.

Say for example someone was Daniel Boone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Boone that would make sense for a tracker/watcher role.

But this really doesn't matter since the scum have an unlimited source of potential fake-claims which makes any claiming scenario at this point a bad idea.

Pedit:

That's a good explanation C.O.

[Staeg]

I could bet my non-existant horse on some kind of Genghis-doctor being in here. However, yeah, unless iceguy has some kind of shinig reason to do this, let's not.
