Rules!

Mafia Rules
1.
I, xtopherusD, am the mod of this game. I wrote these rules and you have to follow them. All I say is final - up to but not quite including inaccuracies in vote counts or the like. Let me know in such cases.
1a.
There will come a time when my duties are temporarily taken up by one RichardGHP. Treat him as you would me.
2.
Follow all site rules at all times. This includes sitewide Mafia rules. Read them here, if you'd like.
3.
For writing important things, I use
this shade of cerulean
. I may edit your posts with this colour for a variety of reasons - so don't use anything that looks like it.

Rules about Lynching People and about Death!
4.
Each player may vote for one person at any time. You may use [vo
te] tags (VOTE: xtopherusD), or simply
bold
a vote (
VOTE: RichardGHP
).

Code: Select all

[vote]xtopherusD[/vote]
[b]VOTE: RichardGHP[/b]

4a.
Since you can only vote one person, you are not required to unvote at any time. It would, however, be much appreciated.
5.
As soon as any player has a majority of votes, they will be lynched. Their role will be revealed and the game will enter "Twilight".
5a.
A majority is achieved if, barring unvotes, no other player can receive more votes than the lynched.
6.
Twilight lasts between the final vote of the day, and my announcement of Night. All players may talk until that time.
7.
NO BAA POSTS. A single "Bah" post is fine.
8.
If the town doesn't reach a majority vote by deadline, no one will be lynched and the game will go to Night phase. There is to be no posting after deadline, even if the mod doesn't announce it straight away.

On the topic of Deadlines...
10.
Upon my first post of a Day, a 2 week countdown will begin. In-game days go for 336 hours.
10a.
This is
absolutely non-negotiable
, in that you can ask and I might end up saying yes anyway. Expect that I will refuse deadline extensions, but I will decide per case.
11.
Upon my first post of Night, all players with an action to submit will have 72 hours to do so. Failure to submit will result in no action being performed.
12.
If you don't post for 72 hours, I will send you a friendly reminder PM (or "prod") to make you post again.
13.
Prods must be responded to within 48 hours, which must be done in thread during Day and by PM during Night.
14.
If you receive three prods, you may be replaced - it is unlikely that you won't be, but there could possibly be an appropriate situation. Expect replacement, and consider yourself lucky otherwise.

General Miscellany
15.
If you would like to grab my attention about something, please use
bold font
in thread, or PM me for more important (or secret) matters.
16.
Don't post things with the intent of hiding them or their meaning from any player or from me. No game-related small text, no weird encryption strategies, etc.
17.
Always play to your win condition. This will not change throughout the game, so you should always be playing to win.
18.
Be friendly. Don't get aggressive or do things that will make me stop you from doing that. This is a game.
19.
This is a game! It sounds obvious, but it can need to be said twice.
9.
Rule 9 lives here for no reason.
20.
Do not abuse V/LA announcements. Do not accuse V/LA announcements. Real life happens.
21.
Have fun! Enjoy the game. Try new things. Not illegal things. Have controlled fun.


Game-Specifics
I.
There is the possibility that an Innocent Child role will exist. If that player PMs me and tells me to do so, my next opportunity to post in thread will announce their innocence.
II.
The Mafia will have 72 hours after role PMs are sent to confer and choose the Town's power roles.
III.
This game uses the
Pick Your Poison
setup. All possible role PMs are listed in the following post.

Roles in the Game

This game is using the Pick Your Poison setup. The following roles will initially be sent out:
3
Mafia

7
Vanilla Town

3
Undetermined Power Roles


The
Mafia
will then have 72 hours to pick their poison, after which time three of the remaining five roles will be sent to the
Undetermined
players. These five roles are:
Innocent Child
,
Tracker
,
One-Shot Cop
,
Jailkeeper
, and
Two-Shot Vigilante
.


The PMs received by each role are in the following spoiler.
Spoiler:
Mafia PM wrote:[player], welcome to Open 488! You, [player2] and [player3] make up the
Mafia
of this game!

Your first task is to
Pick Your Poison
! In your QuickTopic linked below, you must choose three power roles for the Town to inherit. These roles will be working against you, so choose wisely.

As the Mafia, you must destroy the Town from the inside. You will win when all Town members are eliminated, or nothing can prevent this situation.

You may conspire in this QuickTopic during Night phases, and each Night may kill one player.


Vanilla PM wrote:[player], welcome to Open 488! You are a
Vanilla Townie
.

Your role in the game is to find and lynch the Mafia. You and the entire Town faction will win when there are no Mafia members, and at least one Town member, alive.


Undetermined PM wrote:[player], welcome to Open 488! You are an
Undetermined Power Role
!

Your role in the game is currently to find and lynch the Mafia. However, you are soon to gain an extra ability that will aid your search in some way.

You and the entire Town will win when there are no remaining Mafia members, and there is at least one surviving Town player.


Innocent Child PM wrote:You received the
Innocent Child
trait!

The Mafia seems to have chosen to plant evidence on you... Although, it seems that it could do nothing but clear your name! You decide to hold onto it until an opportune time...


As an Innocent Child, you may at any time send me a PM, asking to be revealed publicly as the Innocent Child. In my next post, you will be confirmed as Town - making yourself both an invaluable asset and an unquestionable target.

You still win with the Town.


Tracker PM wrote:You received the
Tracker
ability!

You don't know what they did to you, but you know that you've changed. You seem to be able to... track people. It's worth experimenting with.


As a Tracker, you may track one player each Night phase. In the morning, you will be told who they targeted in that phase, if anyone.

You still win with the Town.


One-Shot Cop PM wrote:You received a
One-Shot Cop
ability!

You woke up with a phone in your pocket. For some reason, the Mafia has promised to tell you the allegiance of any one person in the town... Why shouldn't you trust them?


As a One-Shot Cop, you may investigate one player on any one Night. You will receive a 100% accurate result about their alignment - either "Town", "Mafia", or "No Result".

You still win with the Town.


Jailkeeper PM wrote:You received the
Jailkeeper
ability!

Are you meant to be here? You seem to have become a guard of a prison. You suppose that throwing someone in here would have all sorts of benefits...


As a Jailkeeper, you may "jailkeep" one player each night. This will prevent any one kill performed on them that night, but will also prevent their action from being performed, if any.

You still win with the Town.


Two-Shot Vigilante wrote:You received a
Two-Shot Vigilante
ability!

Where were you last night? You can't be certain. There's only one thing you're certain of... They gave you a gun, and a pair of bullets. This could be useful...


As a Two-Shot Vigilante, you may shoot someone on two different Nights during the game. If you succeed, this action will kill them and remove them from the game.

You still win with the Town.

Role PMs are being compiled and are soon to be sent out.
Players are asked to confirm via PM, stating their role name and alignment so I know that you're paying attention.

All Role PMs are out. All players are about to receive a second PM with a link to this thread. The Mafia has (expired on 2013-04-05 01:42:18) to pick their poison!

Sending powers to the chosen few, and then we'll get this show on the road!

The townspeople wake for the first time. Although created today, their hard coded instincts tell them that there are traitors in their midst. These traitors may have helped them previously, but now is the time to be rid of them...


Day One starts now! It will end in (expired on 2013-04-17 19:10:21).


With 13 alive, it takes 7 votes to lynch.

Slimer and AP, and to the rest, hello.

Random Question Stage:
1. Are you Mafia?

Hello there.
To your 1, No.
To your two, No.

Does a leaf shine in the dark?

Of course no one will truthfully answer that.

Obligatory hi to Uct, Bacde Siv, and Scott.

Looking forward to playing with fuzzy - you seem to be making quite a splash onsite recently.

Have I? Hmm. Interesting to know.


RQS, to everyone: What's your preferred alignment?

by AngryPidgeon
Prefer scum in large games and town in smaller games. Because getting enough sheep in large games is frustrating.

I prefer town overall myself. I'm happier with a PR than without, but am content either way.
