For now I will say no - I haven't done the legwork in finding one yet because I realized there may be a problem... Is modding experience required to fulfill the role of a backup moderator? Kraska77 and I were hoping to start comodding together so if we could get experience together early in our modding career that'd be nice, but if it has to wait it can wait. Sorry about that
I'm a first time mod, so no other experience!

Rules Post (Vanilla Townie PM is included here)
♡☭☆ Rules ☆☭♡
This ruleset is original
[/size]
General Information
Do not quote PMs from the moderator into the gamethread, and do not quote anything from a PT into the gamethread. Paraphrasing is OK.
Do not discuss this game with anyone outside of the main gamethread and any relevant PTs.
Do not make text intentionally difficult to read (examples include invisible text, small text, and text hidden via BBCode) or any form of encryption. Exceptions include spoiler tags and breadcrumbs.
Even if you have the permissions to, do not edit or delete posts in the game thread. If you made a formatting mistake that impacts readability, notify me and I will attempt to fix it as soon as possible.
Activity
I deliver prods after 48 hours of inactivity unless a player is V/LA.
A prodded player has 24 hours to make a game-advancing post before I replace them.
Three prods leads to a force-replace.
If I accidentally prod you while on V/LA or before your 48 hours are up, the prod will not count against you.
If I am asked to prod a player when, by the rules, they do not need to be prodded, I may send them an "informal prod" if I feel the circumstances of the game permit it.
Please bold any requests to have a V/LA made in the gamethread. I will acknowledge an unbolded request, but having it bolded ensures I see it.
If a V/LA is longer than 4 days, you must post at least once every 72 hours. Depending on the nature of the V/LA, I may be less stringent on the amount of content needed for a post to count.
Gameplay
The game's day phases will last two weeks (14 days).
The game's night phases will last two days. The night may be extended if I cannot access the gamethread at the time of the daystart.
You may use either vote or bold tags to indicate a vote, as long as it is formatted as VOTE: gigabyteTroubadour or
VOTE: gigabyteTroubadour
.
Any sort of misspelling, pun, nickname, or abbreviation will count in a vote, as long as it's clear who is being voted for. VOTE: Giggles would be a valid vote for myself if I were in the game.
As soon as a simple majority of players vote for the same player, the day ends with the death and role reveal of that player.
Players are free to post during the day until I lock the thread. Even a lynched player may continue to post until they are flipped.
Players who die, whether by lynch, by night kill, or by modkill, are allowed to post one "bah" post after their flip. After that, dead players are not allowed to post in the gamethread until the end of the game.
If a player is modkilled for any reason, the day will continue as normal unless the game ends with that player's death.
Any informed minority groups are guaranteed to have daytalk at all times.
Players with access to a factional kill (such as mafia members) are able to use their factional kill while using an ability granted by a role.
Always play to your win condition.
Moderation
I reserve the right to update the rules as I see fit midgame. If I make any changes to the ruleset, I will make a post in the main gamethread acknowledging the specific change as transparently as possible.
I reserve the right to enforce my rules as I see them and with the appropriate consequences.
Please avoid using
#D5CCEE
,
#ABDAE9
,
#FFBDF4
, and colors that look similar. Please also do not use the font "Helvetica". This font and these colors are reserved for modposts and should not be used to avoid confusion between my posts and players' posts. If you feel there is an exception that gives you the right to use these colors, please let me know before using them.
Be mindful of the language you use when posting. I am fine with cursing, but I will censor players who use harmful slurs and force-replace them if it gets excessive.
If the gamethread is excessively toxic, I will do my best to resolve the issues as diplomatically as possible without harming the gamestate. This may include warnings for harassment, but if that is not enough I will not hesitate to force-replace players.
Have fun! Mafia gets heated sometimes but that should not interfere with your enjoyment of the game.
Do not hesitate to ask me any questions or send any concerns about the rules or the game via PM.

Set-up
It is guaranteed that there are 10 members of the
town
faction and 3 members of the
mafia
faction.
The setup was reviewed for normalcy and balance by X, Y, and Z.
At least 1 player will have a VT role pm, which looks like this:
Spoiler: Sample VT PM
Full List of Role PMs
Result PMs/Day and Nightstart PMs/Prods
Set Up at a Glance
Goon
Goon
Tracker
Jailkeeper
Fruit Vendor
Odd Night Vanilla Cop/Even Night Neapolitan
Tracker Enabler
VT x6
Please let me know if I've missed anything important!
Probably? This is like the second draft and i really feel like town needs something but more than 4 prs seems like overkill
I want to keep the scum tracker/tracker enabler dynamic and i tried to build the setup around that but... it's lacking something.

no everything is terrible i'm not allowing this to be run
gigabyte is the worst

This is indeed scum sided ftr.

i dont really think making the odd/even night abomination a full neapolitan really helps but nothing else is really coming to me
i felt like town would get too many clears too quickly though (fruit vendor and tracker enabler are basically conftown if they claim?)

Dude you could make it a full on cop and I would pass that.

by gigabyteTroubadour
ehhh......
i really hate cop as a role and thatd probably make a tracker fakeclaim less credible which i kind of intended the setup to work around
what about a goon cop? town would have guiltying power thats stronger and the clears would kind of make sense but not 100% certain like a cop

not strong enough.
I even question whether neapolitan is strong enough

watcher?

Fruit vendored people will out and that will inform scum not to kill fruit vendor tracks. Every other track is a guilty on a strong PR.
If you straight up cut out the tracker from scum and left everything else as it is the setup still would not be balanced.

Yeah, I guess watcher could work. It's strong enough. Expect to get complained at a shit ton by scum though.

hm...
if scum arent incentivized to shoot a fruit vendor, what about:
nix the fruit vendor
add an even night goon cop
make the neanilla cop a full neapolitan
make the tracker odd night
that way town has more investigative power and the tracker is neutered more since it cant find the goon cop (but it looks like a more legit pr because of the odd/even night dynamic)?

i guess watcher could work in place of goon cop...? and makes more sense thematically
but also now that im thinking of it it'd really annoy me as scum if i couldnt catching the one pr that can guilty my team — but maybe thats the way it should be?
"not a goon" should be pretty clearing in a set-up confirmed to have no encryptor (scum always have daytalk) and pretty unlikely to have more than 1 scum pr, no...?
i'd rather keep the modifier and make it a stronger role - it feels redundant to have a full neapolitan and a full goon cop.
penguin do you think it'd work as an even night watcher instead of full goon cop?

Probably. That could help support the Odd-Night Tracker claim for scum, and even-night keeps it from seeing a track by scum.
