GAME RULES - READ THOROUGHLY - THIS IS IMPORTANT
This is my color(0000BF) - Do not use it.
PLAY TO YOUR WIN CONDITION. If you don't, it ruins everyone's game, I will force-replace and report you immediately.
Activity:
[*] Be an active participant in this game. Players who have not posted for 2 days [48 hours] will be prodded.
[*] After a prod is sent, players have 1 day [24 hours] to respond IN-THREAD in some *actual* way - not just a prod-dodge - or they will be replaced.
[*] On a third prod I might replace you, that will depend on me and me alone, in consideration with the game's state and activity.
[*] Anything directed at me should be bolded, even larged or huged if you want.
[*] You may also PM me at any time; I will try to answer via phone or computer ASAP.
[*] After a night, prods will be issued 36 hours from day start.
Days:
[*] Days will be vary in length in accordance to the next post. Minimum of 5 days, maximum of two weeks.
[*] Days will NOT be extended, in any of their phases, for any reason.
[*] Players may NOT request any deadline extensions FOR ANY PHASE IN THE DAY.
Nights:
[*] Nights will be 2 days [48 hours] long.
[*] Night extensions will only be made for replacement finding, or any other circumstances which I deem worthy.
[*] Players may request any deadline extensions for the night.
[*] The above request can be sent (with reasoning) in-thread, or in a PM to me.
Votes:
[*] Votes will only be counted during the Coffee Phase. Until then, the only vote possible is VOTE: Let's get some coffee!, and it cannot be undone.
[*] During the Coffee Phase, votes will only be counted if they are in any of these formats:
Vote: Shos
Vote: No Lynch
VOTE: Shos VOTE: No Lynch
[*] Unvotes are not necessary at all, unless you really really wish to, lol.
[*] If I make a mistake, correct me. I know it looks differently, but I'm not divine, and may err.
[*] If no lynch has been reached by the Coffee Phase deadline - nobody will be lynched.
[*] If during the Coffee Phase there is a majority of the votes that supports No Lynch - the day will immediately end with no lynch.
[*] You may not quote anything from me that has not been made public.
[*] Encryptions, hidden letters, supersmall letters etc. are NOT TO BE POSTED IN THIS GAME TOPIC.
[*] You are alive and can post until I lock the thread.
[*] Once you are dead, you are dead. Any "Bah", "Gasp", "The cake is a LIE" etc., posts are allowed but mustn't include game-related info.
[*] You may cast hypothetical votes during the first phase of the day. If you do that, I will make hypothetical votecounts.
[*]
Almost all of the win conditions are phrased differently, for flavor entertainment. There is one scumteam in this game and its goal is as always, to kill everyone or make that unpreventable. Town's wincon is to have that team dead. Don't try to play on this in this game.

READ THAT POST THOROUGHLY TOO

GAME MECHANICS
The conversation in the kitchen has taken place in a face-to-face manner; privately. Scum are now(during pregame) discussing their plans. They have three days to do that.
Pregame deadline, or in other words,
game will officially start in: (expired on 2014-10-04 00:00:01)
[/size][/b]
[*] The game starts in a
MORNING PHASE
. During that time, the living lunatics communicate using their BlueTooth earpieces.
This phase will last at least 3 real-life days.
[*] During this phase, players
may vote to drink coffee
as mentioned in the above post. Should majority of the players vote for coffee before 3 real-life days pass, the phase will end immediately at the 3-day mark.
[*] The scum team needs to choose their kill and submit that to me
IN A PM
during the Morning Phase. After a majority of the players has voted to drink coffee, the sun sets. It shall then be the
EVENING PHASE
, or in the name mentioned above, the
COFFEE PHASE
. The mafia kill has to be submitted before the Coffee Phase; if no such kill has been submitted until the phase has arrived, nobody will be poisoned when drinking, so there will be no nightkill.
[*] The
Coffee Phase
will last 48 hours at maximum. Players can vote each other during this phase, and a lynch will occur when majority has been reached. If no such majority has happened, the day will end with no lynch.
[*] If a majority to get into Coffee Phase does not rise, everyone drinks their coffee alone. That means that the NK shall happen, and a lynch shall not.
[*] The scum are part of the lunatics; meaning they, too, communicate through the BlueTooth earpieces. In order to not be recognized, they distort their voice when talking to each other, and obviously do not say their names - but still, everyone hears that; both during the day and during the night.
If Scum talk at night...they're probably awake..
This means that the scum QT is effectively available for everyone.
Townies are NOT allowed to post there. I could make three quicktopic accounts named 'scumA', 'scumB' and 'scumC' so that the star proves that it's them posting, but I'm not going to do that, and instead I am trusting you not to cheat. This will also allow scum some fun So please be honest, and do not post.
[/list]
Since the scum QT is public, anyone can quote anything from there.

A sentence has been added in the end of post #2. Go read it, quickly now.
I encourage more questions about the setup, you have three days to figure everything out and understand how everything works.
I have a university test tomorrow (Astrophysics...) so I'll be going to sleep early now, but I'll answer everything tomorrow ASAP.

Due to me not noticing that deadline seems to fall precisely on Yom Kippur on which I will be V/LA, I am opening the thread now for you guys to start the game. Scum will still be able to talk privately in the kitchen until I am back from Yom Kippur V/LA.
It is now Morning Phase.
You may vote for coffee. If you hypotheticalvote - I will make hypothetical votecounts.
The 72 hours protocol start now. (expired on 2014-10-06 04:00:01)

A GRAND, BIG NOTICE:
If anyone intends to use any methods that may or may not involve ONGOING GAMES or POSTS IN THEM, be super careful. You are allowed to note that 'X has posted', similar to the way people often call others lurkers, but do not talk about WHERE the posts are, and definitely do not link to them. "View user's posts" button is available for everyone, just redirect people there and hope they find what you mean.

I might replace out of this game because I honestly have read the rule posts like 5 times and I can't make heads nor tails of them.

It seems as the Day Phase is a lot different from what I've seen, unless I'm reading the rules incorrectly.
- Currently we're in the Morning Phase, which is a three day period that when it ends, leads to the Evening Phase or otherwise called the Coffee Phase. It's not like a normal phase, we don't lynch anyone during this phase (although hypothetical vote counts for people are provided). Scums have to send in their kill via PM during the morning phase.
- Voting Let's Drink Coffee speeds us up to the Evening Phase, which lasts forty-eight hours and does so if we get a majority of people voting Let's Drink Coffee. This is the time where we lynch someone by reaching a majority much like normal Mafia games.
Hopefully this clarifies things a little.

Where have you been?
@Shos: What happens if a majority of people don't vote to drink coffee?
