RULES (inspired by the rule sets of Faraday, Maestro, and Nexus):

General Behavioral Expectations:
• All site-wide rules are to be followed. They can be found here. Rules here are also in effect. Important points are:
o Personal attacks on any basis are prohibited. Excessive vulgarity will also be stomped upon. When in doubt, err on the side of being civil and respectful.
o Play to your win condition.

Game Play, Voting, Lynching, and Night Actions:
• Do not quote mod communications anywhere in the thread.

This is my bolded color

so do not use it for any purposes, particularly impersonating me.
• When placing a vote, it is not necessary to unvote first or to put your vote on a new line. However, it would be appreciated if you submitted votes in bold like this:

VOTE: penguin_alien

or like this: VOTE: penguin_alien. I will accept votes so long as I can tell the intended target from the abbreviation used.
• Lynches (or decisions to no-lynch) require a majority of votes.
• Discussion may continue in twilight.
• Once you are killed, do not post in the game thread. This includes ‘Bah!’ posts.
• Night actions may be PMed to me or posted in bold in the appropriate QTs. If you know you will be V/LA during the night phase, you may send in a conditional night action in advance.

Activity Parameters and Mod Communication:
• Prods will be sent out by PM to players who have not posted within the past 48 hours. Players receiving prods have 36 hours to post before I will start looking for a replacement. If the day ends before you can respond in-thread, you must PM me within the allotted time.
• Three prods in one game day phase or four prods overall will result in my replacing you.
• Day phases will last two weeks. Night phases will last two days.
• While you are welcome to post about any issues that arise in the thread (use bold to get my attention, please) you may also PM me concerning any problems. Use your best judgment here, and I will endeavor to do the same. This also applies to issues with me/my modding or other players.
• If you go on V/LA, please PM me.
• Alterations to these rules will be announced in-thread and PMed to all players in the event they become necessary either due to unforeseen circumstances or my own oversights.

Miscellaneous or Game-Specific Topics:
•

HYDRAs:

Please do your utmost to avoid alt slips. If you do mispost, please quote the post as the hydra account ASAP.

Violations of these rules will result in a warning for a first offense and a potential forced-replacement or modkill for subsequent offenses. I reserve the right to skip the warning for particularly willful or egregious violations.

[penguin_alien]

Opening Flavor:

The time is the 19th century. The place: France. Your mood: miserable. You have a bad feeling that whatever happens in the near future will also be a miserable experience. But! You can write your own ending here. Find the ones responsible for making you miserable, and hear the people sing again!

Conductor PA is in the orchestra pit, ready to begin the overture...

Role PMs have been sent out. When I have received seven of nine confirmations by PM, the game will begin.

[penguin_alien]

Come post, come post, you hunt for scum today
Come post, come post, there's scum out there to slay
They'll try to hide, they work like hell to lie
Come post, come post, "The game now starts!" I cry...

Day One has begun!

Holy God, can you not lynch me, if I flip you'll rue the date!

Will your being night killed matter in-thread?
Is this loss a battle cry?

Elleheathen has been carried away!

But her death surely won't bring us down.

How should we lynch, can we decide, where the majority will leap?

And the count seems to waver and blur until I am confused and my head's on my knees.
Oh, players, you're the ones who have noticed it.

I believe that's a lynch; flip to come in a few hours after I make dinner/bake apple pies

[penguin_alien]

One post more, another post, another argument
This never-ending trial, then one lynch spent.
These players who don't know my face, will surely let things go apace,
One post more!

With seven alive, it takes four to lynch!

Come with me, where chains will never bind you
All your schemes, at last, at last, behind you.
Mod and players, you’ve finished up with this game.
Forgive me all my vote miscounts, and read this one last mod post:

Check it out, I’ll show you all the Role PMs
Here are thanks, to players and reviewers.
And remember, the truth that I believe in:
To play the game ‘Mafia’ is to see the face of God!

Well, not really. But the dead thread’s above, and the scum QT is in the role PMs. The neighborizer QT wasn’t available until Night Two, so I didn’t link it.

Spoiler: Role PMs in full

Town

Welcome, Maemuki/Ghostlin!

“You can take, you can give. Let him be, let him live. If I die, let me die.”

You are Jean Valjean,

Town Bodyguard,

a noble ex-con. You are aligned with the Town and are out to foil those who would see you become even more miserable.

Powers:

You have your (singing) voice and your vote. Each day you may post in the game thread here and vote for whomever you want lynched.

During the night you may PM me the name of another player to target. If that player is targeted to die at night, you will die in their place.

You win when all non-town-aligned players are dead and at least one town-aligned player is alive.

Please confirm that you received and understand your role via PMing me your role name.

Welcome, shos!

During the night you may PM me the name of another player to target: you will be told who that person visited at night. Because you are Obsessive, once you have targeted a player, you may not target anyone else until that player is dead. You may continue to target them each night, but you may not change targets.

You win when all non-town-aligned players are dead and at least one town-aligned player is alive.

shos tracks Malakittens (successful, locks in Malakittens as his target until death)
Lork Mhork sends a letter to elleheathen (successful but futile)
Grimgroove follows bv310 (failed due to mastin2 jailkeeping Grimgroove)

mastin2 jailkeeps Grimgroove and kills elleheathen (both successful)


Modly thoughts before I throw the thread open again:

Thanks to everyone for playing! Extra thanks to mastin2 and Ghostlin for replacing in. My reviewers, Faraday, N, JacobSavage, and chkflip, made this game far better than it otherwise would have been, and I truly appreciate their help and guidance. Special shout-out to JacobSavage for back-up modding.

I was a bit concerned going into this that scum had too much power. As it worked out, only shos got a particularly useful result from his PR, and that was a negative—he would have been locked into tracking Malakittens nowhere for the rest of the game. There were small things that would have been useful, like the neighborhood sorting out the slightly scum-reads bv310 and Lord Mhork, and Malakittens holding onto a vote for an extra phase.

I did decide to let Lord Mhork quote his letter to elleheathen. As was pointed out in-thread, there was absolutely no guarantee that anything he claimed to write had been written, and since it wasn’t part of a QT where communication could go back and forth, I figured it was null. Had bv310 or Lord Mhork had a chance to use their QT and wanted to quote from it, I would have required them to paraphrase.

In future theme games, I would definitely specifically assign the scum fake claims. Quite frankly I’d envisioned The Bishop as the JK fakeclaim for him restraining Valjean from his former life while protecting him at the same time, and Cosette as the Redirector for her distracting Marius from his initial plans, with Marius to be available if scum wanted two prominent characters to claim with some role fudging/fabrication. My intentions were to give them flexibility, but I think it backfired.

I’d appreciate any feedback about the game and my modding—I strive to improve and to provide good experiences for players.


Edit: Sorry this didn’t go up last night; by the time I finished with other stuff the site wasn’t working for me.

[penguin_alien]

I'm not sure why Lord Mhork and bv310 vouched for one another.

Even more baffling to me is why funkybike1 claimed Tracker with Bishop as the character with zero consultation with you, mastin2. Given that daytalk was available.
