General Site Rules:

Follow all site rules. Play to your wincon but above all play to have fun. Do not ruin the game for others.
If you have something that you need to communicate with me
bold
your text or I cannot guarantee I will see it.
As the MOD I reserve the right to modkill or force-replace players as I see fit.
If you feel I have erred send me a PM and let me know.
That said, do not bring disagreements with me into the thread. That is what the PM is for. The same goes for disagreements with other players.
Do not use invisible or in some way encrypted fonts or typing.

General game rules:

I will use the colour
#FFAA00
. This is my color and only my color. Don't use it.
A lynch is reached when a majority of all players (half rounded down plus one) are voting for the same target.
If a majority is not reached by the deadline, a No Lynch will occur.
You may vote No Lynch in the same way that you vote for a lynch. Once a majority has voted for a no lynch the day immediately ends.
Abuse of an infinite no-lynch/no-kill loop will not be tolerated. Do not even contemplate it.
Votes must be written in
bold
as
Vote: Player
or use the VOTE: Player tag. Votes that are not tagged will not be counted.
Votes in quotes, spoiler tags or otherwise hidden will also not be counted.
Votes that misspell or have other minor errors will be counted as normal as long as I understand what you are getting at.
Unvotes are helpful, but not necessary. Let me know if I make an error in vote counts and I will correct them.
I will try and do vote counts often but if you want one just let me know. In general, I will be mainly available evenings (5 PM - 12 PM Pacific) and weekends, so you may not get a quick VC if it's in the middle of the day.
As the MOD I will keep communication down to the absolute minimum possible (aside from vote counts and the like). I do not want to influence the game itself – that is for the players to do.
Flips will have full role revealed (I will essentially post the PM you received on your flip with the obvious required reductions)

Game Flow:

The Game will begin and the thread will be unlocked after 7 players confirm via PM.
Please announce if you are going on V/LA. I prefer this announced in thread unless there is a specific reason not to.
If you have not posted for 48 hours you will receive a prod. If you do not post within 24 hours of a prod you will be replaced.
Three prods will result in being replaced.
Day phases will last a maximum of 14 days.
Each Night Phase will last 48 hours.
You may communicate as normal during the twilight phase until I close the thread but votes/un-votes will not count.
Extensions may be granted for replacements or extenuating circumstances.
A missed Night Action will result in a No Action.
The game will end when all threats to town have been eliminated or that is not possible.
If you must replace out, PM me privately and stop posting in thread.

important setup information

Newbie Setup

Matrix6 (as designed by Cogito Ergo Sum):

	A	B	C
1	Town Jailkeeper	Vanilla Townie	Mafia Goon
2	Mafia Roleblocker	Town Cop	Town Doctor
3	Town 1-shot Bulletproof	Mafia Goon	Town Tracker

Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates either one row or one column. The remaining six roles will be filled in by

mafia goons

and

vanilla townies

appropriately, to create a

2-mafia

and

7-town

setup.

All Newbie games use the Natural Action Resolution system for determining Night action effects.

Roleblocker

actions will take precedence over

Jailkeeper

actions should that apply. The

1-shot Bulletproof

is a passive ability that cannot be

roleblocked

.

basic game and site functionality

Using the "code" tag will let you show something in code to demonstrate, see below

It is generally recommended to choose an avatar. This is a courtesy to fellow players, so that they can more easily differentiate you from other players when reading the thread. You can do this by going to User Control Panel, then Profile, then "Edit Avatar", and you can upload a picture or gif that will go along with your user name when you post.

Woohoo! Found scum by post 7. Now for the next one.

Shadowlancerx · Post Post #13 (ISO) » Wed Sep 21, 2016 4:00 pm

All I'm saying is I watched someone get quicklynched in a new game for no good reason other than people bandwagoned. If you really feel like crucifying someone for their first game, then by all means, go ahead.
I'll even put myself at L-1
VOTE: Shadowlancerx

Deadline is on Wednesday, October 5th: (expired on 2016-10-05 13:00:00)

Mod note: Since I track votes in excel, I usually provide vote counts with links in them. It's a bit unusual compared to most mods, but I consider it a nice service for players. Sometimes I'll phone post a VC or the like and you won't get links, but usually you will.

With 9 alive, it's 5 to lynch!

I don't actually believe that you think someone is going to quickhammer/lolhammer you at this point. I'm not unvoting, because this is a horrible response to an L-1. 9/16 join date...what's your actual background? Your response to this does not seem typical.

ISO · Post Post #16 (ISO) » Wed Sep 21, 2016 4:09 pm

Oh...bee-tee-dubs...self-voting is always bad.

Shadowlancerx · Post Post #17 (ISO) » Wed Sep 21, 2016 4:17 pm

Background: I've played Mafia for years in real life, but this is my first foray into forum based. In person games last maybe an hour, so this pace is something I'm not at all used to. I've read a couple forum based games, but never played one. I have no idea if someone will quick hammer me, I self voted because if one newbie mistake is enough to convince people that I'm actually scum and not just an idiot then I'd rather start a fresh game anyway.

In this forum game, you should always play to your wincon. If you're town, you should always play to make sure town wins. If you're scum, do what ever you need to do to make sure scum wins. That's it. Don't just give up to start a fresh game. If that's your mindset, please replace out.

Well, not 'normally', as I'm relatively new to this forum.
