[b]Game Overview[/b] - [size=75]Some rules were adopted from Plotinus, mhsmith0, and yessiree. Thanks![/size]
[list][*]This game is conditioned as a full reveal. Upon a player's removal, a player's role and alignment are released to the public.
[*]The game is conditioned as semi-open. Players will be aware of all possible roles that may exist within the setup, but will not be informed of the distribution of these roles in advance.
[*]This game is conditioned as 3 mafia versus 10 town players.
[*]The game will end when a game-ending faction has achieved its win condition. A game-ending faction is any faction whose wincon cannot win with any other wincon i.e. town, mafia, serial killer, jester, etc.
[*]Flavor is for fun and is not indicative of alignment, roles, abilities, game mechanics, or anything else related to the game.
[*]Scum are given the ability to talk during all phases of the game.
[*]Individual scum cannot simultaneously perform their factional kill ability and use their abilities, if any, during the same Night Phase.
[*]Roles are not indicative of alignment.
[*]I will not answer game clarification questions in misleading ways. (i.e. I will not tell you that an ability is passive when it is actually active.)
[*]I will not intentionally lie to you if you have a question concerning your role or the mechanics of the game. I may answer vaguely, i.e. “No comment” or “I cannot answer that at this time,” for instance.
[*]In general: if a question would break the game or implicate another player's role, there is little chance that I will answer it.[/list]
[b]Conduct:[/b]
[list][*][i]Try to not take things personally.[/i] You should expect debates to potentially become heated.
[*]Bear the following in mind: [i]Some will lie, and others will be deceived.[/i] It is all in the spirit of the game. That said, personal attacks or the implication of personal attacks are strictly off-limits and may result in a Locked thread and/or a Mod Kill depending on the severity of the insults.
[*]I have the final say. Respect my judgement. I reserve the right to adjust the rules as I see fit. I [i]will[/i] always tell players about a change in the rules as these changes happen in order to ensure the prevention of game breaking incidents from occurring.
[*]Pretending to break a rule is equal to actually breaking a rule and may get a player Mod-Killed depending on the nature of the infraction.
[*][color=#BF0000]This is my color. Don't use it.[/color] (#BF0000)[/list]
[b]Post Content Guidelines:[/b]
[list][*]Respect and obey the MafiaScum [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6470]Code of Conduct[/url]. [b]All site wide rules apply.[/b] Play to win, please with respect, and try not to ruin the game for other players.
[*]Do not talk about this game anywhere else unless I have specified it is permitted such as in a private topic. This includes PM-ing other players.
[*]No invisible, cryptographic, or deliberate obfuscation of text.
[*]No talking after death.
[*]No editing or deleting your posts.
[*]No discussion of ongoing games.
[*]Paraphrasing is acceptable. [/list]
[b]Activity Requirements & Guidelines:[/b]
[list][*]Players who have failed to confirm their role PM within 72 hours after role PMs have been distributed will be auto-replaced.
[*]After 36 hours of inactivity, players will be prodded to ensure that they are still interested in playing the game and continue to participate. After the prod, players will have 24 hours to respond with game related material or be replaced.
[*]To avoid being replaced for inactivity, be sure to include game advancing content to your post i.e. “Got prodded, X is still scum. I'll catch up later”. Naked prod dodges ("I'll get to this later,") do not reset the prod timer.
[*][b]If you have not posted game advancing content in 5 days, regardless of V/LA status, [i]you will be replaced.[/i][/b]
[*]If you declare V/LA, you will be nudged every 72 hours (3 days). Two nudges equals one prod in V/LA.
[*]As a rule of thumb, if you are not on V/LA, you should try to post game related content at least once per every 24 hours.
[*]Players are allowed to be prodded [i][b]two separate times[/b][/i] before they will be replaced.
[*]Don't be afraid to use the V/LA, but don't abuse it either.[/list]
[b]Deadlines:[/b]
[list][*]Day phases are ten days long. Night phases are forty eight hours long.
[*]The majority are allowed only one day phase extension for the entire game that does not involve replacements. If you'd like to use the extension, you can [vote]Extend the Day[/vote]. When a majority has been reached, the extension will add seven days to the current deadline.
[*]A singular player replacement extension will be an average of 24 hours added to the current deadline during the Day Phase.[/list]
[b]Lynch Guidelines:[/b]
[list][*]Majority lynching mechanic in play. Extensions and no-lynches are also decided through majority voting.
[*]If several players are tied for a lynch, then no lynch will occur.
[*]Players can use the vote tags (e.g. [vote]AnonymousGhost[/vote] or bolding (e.g. [b]Vote: AnonymousGhost[/b]. Unvoting is not required.
[*]Be sure to include the [b]colon[/b] (if you're not using the vote tags)! I will be using the control+F command to locate your votes![/list]
[b]Ability Information & Guidelines:[/b]
[list][*]All abilities will be labeled to prevent player confusion. If you are still confused, do not hesitate to shoot me a PM.
[*][b]Active Abilities[/b]: These abilities require “activation” on the player’s part in order to take place. Make a decision on whether or not you want to use an ability and then notify me via PM. You may only use [i]one active ability per night[/i], unless otherwise specified in your role card.
[*][b]Passive Abilities[/b]: For the most part, these abilities are automatically in effect, unless specified otherwise.
[*]Factional abilities are considered Active abilities.
[*]Some abilities may be listed as [X-Shot], where X is replaced by a number. This means that that ability has a limited number of uses, and that limit is specified by the number that replaces “X”. If an X-Shot ability fails for whatever reason, then that failed shot is considered to be used and cannot be reused/recovered by the player.
[*]All active abilities occur in a specific order; this is called the [b]Turn Order[/b]. Due to this order, a player’s action may fail inexplicably.
[*][i]Most Importantly[/i], players should note that [i]not everything[/i] will be announced in the EotD post. This means that, unless otherwise given a role where they [i]should[/i] receive Mod confirmation i.e. a cop or a tracker, players will [i]not[/i] receive Mod confirmation that their actions were successful or not.[/list]
[b]Win Conditions:[/b]
[list][*][b][color=#00BF00]Noodles[/color][/b]: Wins when all threats to the Noodles have been removed from the game.
[*][b][color=#BF0000]Sneks[/color][/b]: Wins when they either equal or outnumber the Noodles, or nothing can prevent this from occurring.
[*]In order to prevent underhanded scum hunting, the town/mafia win cons are word-for-word here as are in the role PMs player will receive.[/list]
[b]Semi-Open Setup:[/b]
[list][*]Roles are listed in their turn order.
[*]Bodyguard: May target a player and protect them from one kill attempt, dying in the kill target's place.
[*]Vanilla Cop: May target a player in order to learn their role name; will receive either "USERNAME is Vanilla" or "USERNAME is not Vanilla". Investigative results will return as "USERNAME is Vanilla" if the target does not have any additional abilities (e.g. Vanilla Townie, Mafia Goon, a Serial Killer with no other abilities). "USERNAME is not Vanilla" is given for all others.
[*]Tracker: May target a player, learning who they targeted, but not what action was performed.
[*]Neighborizer: May target a player and recruit them into a neighborhood.[/list]Code: Select all

[i]Micrurus fulvius, the Eastern Coral Snake, the common coral snake, or the American cobra, is an elusive creature that despite its venom possesses small fangs that are ineffective against the human skin. As a secretive predator, the Eastern Coral Snake is generally reluctant to bite and it’s believed that only 40% of bites administer venom into the prey/victim.[/i]

[i]Python regius, the Ball Python, the smallest of the African pythons and placid creature with a unique defensive strategy to curl up into a ball when stressed or frightened. The species is also known as the royal python, a callback to a time when rulers in Africa would wear the snake as living jewelry.
In Southeastern Nigeria, the Igbo people consider it to be symbolic of the earth, as an animal that travels close to the ground. The pythons are treated with great care whenever they happen to wander into a village or someone’s property and they are either allowed to roam freely or are gently picked up and placed out in the forest or field away from the home. If one is accidentally killed, many communities in Igboland will build a coffin for the snake’s remains and give it a short funeral.[/i]

[i]Laticauda semifasciata is known as the Black-Banded Sea Krait or the Chinese Sea Snake and is found in warm western waters off of the Pacific Ocean in Fiji, southern Japan and Singapore. This venomous high snake frequents coral reefs and is nocturnal, preferring to hunt fish by lying in wait in the coral. This species also works with yellow goatfish and bluefin trevally, flushing potential prey from the narrow crannies of the reef, similarly to moral eels. The venom paralyzes the snake's prey and is ten times stronger than that of a cobra. Fortunately, this snake will not bite humans unless threatened. [/i]

[i]Walterinnesia aegyptia, the Black Desert Cobra, a nocturnal and terrestrial predator who uses mixed hunting methods. After subduing it's prey with its coils, the Black Desert Cobra will inject venom into its prey while it chews. Despite having 'cobra' in its name, this reptile does not display any of the ironic behaviors of the species: rearing up when frightened or flaring out a hood before striking in defense.[/i]

[i]As a subspecies of the rat snake, the Texas Rat Snake - Elaphe obsoleta lindheimeri - is a nonvenomous serpent native, primarily, to Texas, but can be found in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. A rather timid snake despite its large size - four to five feet -, but the temperment of the snake can range from mild tempered to aggressive and will exhibit mouth gaping and biting when approached. Specimens caught in the wild will generally become docile in capacity. Defense mechanisms include making a rattling sound with the tip of its tail and emitting a strong smelling musk.[/i]

[i]Calliophis bivirgata, the Blue Malayan Coral Snake or Blue Coral Snake, is a venomous species native to Southeast Asia that lives at elevations ranging from 100 meters to 1100 meters above sea level. A medium sized snake with a slender body, the Blue Coral Snake can reach lengths up to 1.8 meters long. Their venom does not contain a neurotoxin - toxins that affect the central and/or the peripheral nervous system - and instead leads to the destruction of muscle tissue with the ingredient of cytotoxin.[/i]

[i]Dendroaspis polylepis, the black mamba, is a highly venomous snake native to parts of sub-Saharan Africa. This species can exceed lengths of 2.2 meters long and can attain an impressive 3 meters (9.8 ft) in length. As an ambush and pursuit daytime hunting predator, the Black Mamba primarily preys on hyrax, bushbabies, other small mammals, and birds. When threatened, the Black Mamba will display its ink black mouth, spread its neck flap, and hiss. Despite its reputation, the Black Mamba will prefer to flee from humans unless cornered or threatened. Its venom consists of neurotoxins - toxins that affect the central and/or peripheral nervous system - and the symptoms are quick to show.[/i]

[i]Diadophis punctatus, commonly known as the Ringneck Snake, is a harmless species of colubrid snake found throughout most of the United States, Mexico, and southeastern Canada. These snakes are secretive, nocturnal, are are slightly venomous. However, their nonaggressive nature and small rear-facing fangs means that they pose little threat to humans. The Ringneck Snake is best known for its unique defense posture where it will curl up its tail, exposing the bright red-orange underbelly, when threatened. [/i]

[i]Drymarchon couperi, the Indigo Eastern Rat Snake, is a large nonvenomous species of snake from the colubrid family, native to Eastern United States. It is one of the longest native snake species in the States. The name, Drymarchon, roughly translates into ‘Lord of the Forest’ and is composed of Greek words. Thanks to its docile nature and attractive appearance, the Indigo Eastern Rat Snake, is a desired pet, but owning one - without a permit - is illegal. Only a few states require a permit, but a federal permit is required to purchase the Indigo Eastern Rat Snake. To thrive in captivity, this snake requires a larger enclosure with something to climb on.[/i]

[i]Bungarus flaviceps, the Red Headed Krait, is a large venomous elapid snake and can grow up to lengths of 7 feet long. It lives in lowland rainforests, even those found on islands, but is considered uncommon. It feeds primarily on snakes, probably semiaquatic and burrowing snakes. The bites from this species are extremely rare and thus the potency of this species’ venom has been left unstudied.
However, it has been identified that this species’ venom contains neurotoxins that will cause paralyzation and death by asphyxiation as the victim can no longer breathe on their own. As nocturnal and partially aquatic, the Red Headed Krait diet also includes skinks, lizards, frogs, caecilians - limbless serpentine amphibians -, small mammals, and snake eggs. In the daytime, they do not pose much threat to humans and have been described as lethargic and extremely tolerant and will press their heads into the sand and hide when disturbed. During the night, these snakes are highly active and extremely dangerous.[/i]
