Hi everyone! My game will have 13 players and is called
Delicious Mafia!
It was reviewed for Normalcy AND Balance.
Spoiler: Flavor
It seemed like a regular night at Aero's Italian Bistro. Thirteen guests of different backgrounds all arrive at relatively the same time, all around 6PM to watch the sports game. All is well, but one of the chefs come running out of the kitchen. One of the new frycooks had been murdered! Apon further examination, it was discovered that he'd been poisoned, not long ago. Since all of the other chefs and employees at Aero's Bistro had to have their hands washed at ALL TIMES, it couldn't have been them, so the only logical option is that a small group within the guests had conspired against the bistro, and plotted to close it's doors forever!
Finally, Aero comes up with the most logical solution; the guests will be locked in the restaurant and forced to decide among themselves who the killers are. Meanwhile, the bistro would provide them with all the delicious food they could eat!
(AKA: If you like food, this game's for you! A picture of a different gourmet meal every vote count!)
is my color. No using it under any circumstances, and no impersonating or pretending to impersonate the mod.
3) Play to your faction's win condition, as long as you do not break any game or site rules in doing so.
4) You may not discuss this game anywhere outside the game thread unless explicitly permitted to do so in your role PM.
5) Directly quoting your role PM, QT or private communications with the mod is strictly forbidden. Loose paraphrasing is permitted.
6) I expect every player to be civil and to treat eachother with respect. Mafia is a heated game, but I'll interfere if anyone resorts to excessive insults, personal attacks, or bullying.
7) No weird forms of encryption. Crumbing is perfectly OK.
Voting/Lynching Mechanics
I) For your vote or unvote to be counted, it must either be in the form of
Vote: Aeronaut
or VOTE: Aeronaut. Nicknames/abbreviations are fine as long as I know who you're talking about.
II) A lynch will occur when 50%+1 of the votes are cast for the same player. (E.G. if there are 9 people left in-game, 5 votes insures a lynch)
III) You may vote for "no lynch" if you wish. If 50% of the players in the game vote for no-lynch, the game will progress to night without a lynch.
IV) If you are killed, you may make one tasteful "Bah" post, but it must 100% non revealing of any sort of game information, or anything of that sort. It must be a farewell only.
V) Twilight phase talking is allowed.
Activity and Deadlines
I) Each Day phase will last [number of living players + 4] days. For example, if there are 10 players left in the game, you will have a two week deadline.
II) Deadlines will be extended for replacement situations and exceptional circumstances.
III) Night phases will last for 72 hours.
IV) In order to be accepted, night actions must be PMd to the mod or posted in bold in scum QTs before the deadline is up. If a player does not select one, he or she will default to "no action."
V) Players will be prodded after forty-eight hours without posting. All prods will be announced in thread.
VI) Players who do not respond to a prod within twenty-four hours or need to be prodded three times in a game phase will be force-replaced.
VII) If you will be unable to post for over forty-eight hours, inform the mod by PM or in the thread of when you'll be V/LA. Assuming the V/LA period is of reasonable length, you will be exempt from prods during that time. All V/LA notifications will be made public by the mod.
VIII)Please keep the game active! If you're in like ten other games and are planning on lurking through this, just replace out.
Other
I) I reserve the right to add, remove, or modify rules at any point of the game if it becomes necessary.
II) Pretending to break the rules is just as bad as breaking them, and will be taken just as seriously.
II) If you feel like I've missed something, or you feel I need to take action about something, please let me know in-thread or by PM.
A storm was almost upon them, the likes of which the townsfolk had never seen before. It threatened to consume them and everything they loved within days. Casualties were expected. Hope was at a premium. The government had abandoned them. Only the blessings of the old gods could save them.
Buckle down and try to survive the Apocalypse.
Spoiler: Rules
Shamelessly stolen from Natirasha, with several edits from
yours truly
.
0) Obey all site rules.
Gamestate
1) Days are 14 days long, and nights are 48 hours long. I reserve the right to change this for whatever reason. Rest assured that if this actually happens, it's your fault.
2) VOTE: Shinobi or
Vote Shinobi
are the only acceptable forms of voting. I will not count any attempts to vote that are not in one of those two formats. Unvotes are not required.
3) A lynch is achieved when half of the living players, rounded down plus one have voted for a player. Once that event has happened, all votes are locked and twilight ensues.
4) Once you're dead, you're dead. Please do not post anymore. If you were replaced out for whatever reason, please do not post in thread.
5) If a majority is not reached at the end of the day, a no-lynch will be achieved. You have been warned.
6) All night actions will be covered in your role pms. If you have questions in regards to your role, do not hesitate to ask me in private and I will resolve it ASAP.
7) I will attempt to keep track of the deadline as often as I can. I will attempt to post the time in every votecount I give you. If I forget to do so or I decide not to for whatever reason, it is your responsibility to keep track.
Activity/Mod Actions
1) I will prod a player after fourty-eight hours without posting. If a player accumulates three prods during a day or fails to respond to a prod in 72 hours, I will replace that player. Lurking is an acceptable tactic; it is up to the town to put a stop to it. If I get the feeling that you're simply not playing or are prod-dodging to waste a slot, I reserve the right to force-replace you.
2) Prods will only be handed out starting 2 days from day start. If I feel you haven't responded to prods given earlier in a satisfactory way, I reserve the right to force replace you.
3) If you need to go on V/LA for whatever reason, post in the thread in
bold text
. State the length of your V/LA; otherwise, it will be assumed that you will only be gone for 24 hours.
4) You may not discuss the game outside this thread with other players involved in the game unless your role specifically says so. If you can, you may only discuss at the quicktopic listed to in your PM. You may have a 'rant buddy' who is outside the game, but I wish to be informed of their identity for replacement purposes. Don't abuse this.
5) I am not responsible for your mistakes. If you screw up a tag or something, I will not edit it for you. If you have the ability to edit posts, please do not do so. I will not edit your posts for you.
6) Avatars, titles, signatures, and your location are out-of-game areas.
7) Please do not quote out-of-thread communications. Modkilling is something that I would prefer to avoid.
Do not tempt my wrath.
8) Although somewhat divine, I am prone to mistakes. If I miss anything, please PM me and I will resolve the issue as best as possible.
9) I reserve the right to remove you if I feel you have crossed a behavioral line. If I do so, rest assured that you have shit the bed in a manner most foul.
10) I reserve the right to change the rules at my own discretion. I will notify the thread if/when I do so.
11) Don't make encrypted posts and don't try to pull the wool over my eyes. If I get the feeling that you're screwing with the rules or are playfully breaking them, you will be
"i have the sickest grossest feeling that even if it's my lynch today, my townflip still won't lead to a tso lynch, and then he'll find some bullshit way to reason either shooting or lynching gm tomorrow because if there's anyone who can strongarm a mislynch despite his reads or cases being proved wrong time and again it's tso"
Klingoncelt: "The whole scumteam slipped on page 1. It's the new meta. Sheep me because my reads are so accurate that whoever I name gets mod-converted to scum."

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
Iirc, N gave the go ahead on inviting more than that (if I am wrong N then ok).
It's not so much a pre-in, as it is an invitation to certain players I like, and me allowing them into my game, and, if I have to, rejecting certain /ins to make room. Game mods here do get a choice on who they want to have play in their games. I remember how people play, and how their personalities were, so I feel I do get a choice there... Pretty sure I did that with my past Large Normal, too.
