General rules:


1. Have fun.
2. Play to win.
3. No flaming. You don't have to be perfectly nice, but let's not have any personal attacks.
4. No talking about the game outside the game topic, unless if your role allows you (Mafia), and THEN only during the Afternoon Phase at the QuickTopic I give you. No talking about other ongoing games in this game topic, either. Talking about completed games is fine if it's relevant.
5. Do not play this game under more than one account name. This includes any shenanigans such as replacing yourself with an alt, or anything like that.
6. There is no rule 6.
7. Don't edit your posts, if you can.
8. Don't use invisible/tiny text.
9. If you have any questions about the setup/rules/etc., ask by either posting it in bold, or by PMing me.
10. I don't make mistakes. If you think I've made a mistake, such as in a vote count, tell me, so I can prove that you're wrong. :P
11. Prods will only be done on request. If it's been at least 48 hours since someone has posted, you may post
Mod: Please prod Lurky McLurker
if you wish. I will monitor activity by sending a massprod during every Afternoon phase (see below), just to make sure everyone is still around. If you will be missing during an Afternoon phase, send me a notice in advance, and you may stay in the game as long as you won't be absent for the entire Evening phase.
12. Just to note, the expression "V/LA" will have no official context in this game, and should not carry any more weight than any other statement you make.

Special rules:


1. The goal of this game is to elect at least 3 of your faction (Town or Mafia) into the City Council. The game will end once either the 3rd townie or the 3rd mafia member is elected.

2. Each game Day, 2 players will campaign for a spot in the City Council. One will always be Town, and one will always be Mafia. At the end of the day, both the winner and the loser of the election will leave the game.

3. Each Day will be divided into 3 phases:

a.
Morning

1. During the Morning phase, one player may volunteer to join the election for that Day.
2. To do this, just type
Join Campaign
in bold.
3. The Morning phase will end after one player has done this.
4. Each Morning will have a deadline of
one real-life week
. If nobody volunteers by the deadline, then the Mafia may choose both candidates for that Day's election. (See Afternoon below)

b.
Afternoon

1. During the Afternoon phase, the thread will be locked. This is the ONLY time that the mafia may talk to each other outside of the thread.
2. Since there will always be 2 players competing in each election, the Afternoon phase is when the Mafia choose the 2nd candidate, to oppose the player that volunteered during the previous Morning phase.
3. The 2nd candidate must be of an
opposite
alignment to the volunteer candidate. That is, if the volunteer was Town, then the Mafia must choose one of their own to join the election. If the volunteer was Mafia, then the Mafia must choose a townie to oppose them.
4. Each Afternoon will have a deadline of
72 hours
.

c.
Evening

1. The evening is when the election will be held between the volunteer from the
Morning
phase and the other candidate chosen in the
Afternoon
phase.
2. All of the other players will vote between the candidates, choosing which one they want to elect.
3. To vote, type
Vote: Crazy
or VOTE: Crazy. To change your vote, just vote for the other candidate.
4. The first candidate to receive a majority of votes will be elected to the City Council. The loser will be killed. Alignments of both will be revealed, and BOTH will exit the game.
5. Each Evening will have a deadline of
one real-life week
. This will only be extended if a replacement is needed.

6 Townies received wrote:You are a Townie!

You need to stop the Mafia from taking over your town! Time to lynch some scum, right?

No. You're going towards a more civilized community, so instead you will try to elect your fellow townspeople into City Council positions.

If you think you have what it takes, type
Enter Campaign
in bold during any
Morning
phase, and you will join the election. If not, then your goal is to elect your fellow townspeople during the
Evening
phase.

You win when at least 3 of the 5 positions in the City Council are filled with townies.


5 Mafia received wrote:You are part of the Mafia!

Your Mafia consists of AAAA, BBBB, CCCC, DDDD, and EEEE.

Since the town is going with this whole "City Council" thing, you'll have to play along, and try to trick them into electing you and your fellow Mafia members.

During each
Morning
phase, you may choose to join the current election by typing
Enter Campaign
in bold.

During each
Afternoon
phase, you may talk with your fellow Mafia members here. During this time, you must choose someone to oppose the player who volunteered during the
Morning
phase. The player you choose must be of a different alignment than the player who volunteered. For instance, if a townie joined the Campaign in the morning phase, then you all must decide on a Mafia member to run against them.

During the
Evening
phase, you may vote to elect, along with the rest of the town.

You win when at least 3 of the 5 positions in the City Council are filled with members of the Mafia.

Duplicity
will be part of the final election.

If Duplicity is Mafia, then the Afternoon phase will end as soon as he sends me a PM selecting his opponent.
If Duplicity is Town, then the Afternoon phase will end as soon as he sends me any PM.

This is obviously done to avoid any deducing of anybody's alignment based on the length of the Afternoon phase.

Well, I hope all you guys had fun for the most part. This was my first Themed game, and really, it was just a collection of gimmicks that I found interesting and put together. I'm not a big game designer or anything, so I just decided to try some stuff out for no specific reason other than it sounded "cool."

I thought about balance before this game, of course, and I probably would have guessed that it was town-sided. I thought of some ways to fix that, (like perhaps adding an extra townie and giving the scum the ability to, at one time in the game, decide to kill an obv-town nominee and revert back to Morning rather than forcing one of their own to go against them.) But that (and some other ideas) sounded too awkward, and I wasn't sure if the game would even be town-sided enough to warrant that. As TS pointed out, scum has a
lot
of influence in this game. The mafia had the physical power to win the Johhog and TS elections if they wanted to, but (rightly) they opted for town-cred instead. So while the EV is 50/50 with the candidate elected chosen randomly (actually more if the self-nominee is always chosen), the scum have way more power here than they would in a normal game.

I'm still not entirely sure about the balance. I was relieved that at least this
specific
game ended up being close. Overall, though, I think both Town and Mafia have a decent chance to win in this setup.

One problem which became noticeable around the mid-game was that the combination of the self-nominations and the 1v1 somewhat stifled scum-hunting, since there wasn't a lot of room to explore other options. Those ideas seemed cool in theory, but led to less exciting results. One thing I did enjoy was the WIFOM of "Why would scum nominate X" and stuff like that.

Meh. I'm not going to mark this game as a failure, since I don't think there was anything horribly wrong with it. I think it was worth trying out once, at least. Hopefully the rest of you don't feel like it was a waste of time. Congrats scum, and the town put forth a good effort.

I think that would have been too extreme for me to force-replace Maruchan for that. If in the Evening phase he still hadn't read his role PM, then sure. But Maruchan was going to enter the campaign immediately regardless of his alignment. He didn't do it to avoid making scum-tells or hide any association from his "buddies" or for any particular strategic reason at all, and he would have done the exact same thing even if he
had
read his Role PM.

I actually half-expected someone to join the campaign immediately, so I don't blame Maruchan for that. It obviously wasn't good play, but I don't think it was scummy. Quicklynching him before Timeater even had to post was pretty bad, but it made the start of this game more fun to read, so I don't mind.
