1) All sitewide rules apply.
2) You may not discuss this game anywhere outside the game thread unless specifically allowed by your role PM. In such case, a PT will be provided and you may not discuss your game outside the game thread and/or the PT.
3) Be civil and treat other players with respect-attack the case, not the person. Mafia is a heated game, but insults, personal attacks, and bullying are not allowed. I determine what constitutes a violation. It's not up for debate.
4)
Blue is my color for this game. Do not use it.
5) Quoting or pretending to quote your role PM, PTs, or private communications with the mod is strictly forbidden. Loose paraphrasing is permitted. If you're not sure, ask me via PM BEFORE you post it int he game.
6) Violation of the rules will result in action as I see fit up to and including modkill.
7) If you notice errors on my part (such as in VCs) please let me know in thread by using
@Mod
8) For other issues, please PM me.
9) If you have outside information that influences your knowledge of the game, are aware of someone else having outside information, or have any reason to believe that the game has been compromised, it is your responsibility to inform me via PM immediately.
10) I reserve the right to change the rules as necessary.
Voting/Lynching
1) For your vote or unvote to be counted,
you must use vote tags or bold tags and put the vote at the beginning of a line
, like this: VOTE: picky mod
Vote: picky mod
This is because I manually do VCs and it's easier for me to just scan along the left edge.
2) Votes for misspellings or acronyms of players' names (such as VOTE: Playrname or VOTE: PN) are valid as long as the player being voted for is clear. You are not required to unvote before changing your vote. However, votes that are behind spoiler tags, in quote tags, in small or invisible text, or otherwise concealed are invalid.
3) You may vote for a No Lynch.
4) A lynch will occur when 50%+1 (rounded down) of the votes are cast for the same player; a No Lynch will occur when 50% of the votes are cast for that option. When this has happened, the game enters twilight and any subsequent votes and unvotes will not be counted.
5) You may continue talking after a lynch or deadline has elapsed until the mod posts to end the day. After that, you may not post even if the mod forgets to lock the thread.
6) If day phase ends without a lynch or no lynch being reached,
the person with the most votes is lynched (plurality lynching)
. In a tie, the person who first reached that number of votes is lynched.
7) This game uses a special mechanic, stranding, instead of lynching. When I say lynch or no lynch, that really means strand or no strand. See the setup-specific rules below for more information.
Activity and Day/Night Phases
1) Day phases will be 5 calendar days long.
2) Night phases will be approximately 48 hours long. They may be longer or shorter in order to fit my schedule.
3) If a replacement is needed during a night phase, I will extend the night deadline until some time after a replacement is found, regardless of whether that slot has a night action.
4) In order for night actions to be accepted, they must be PM'd to me or posted in bold in PTs before the deadline is up. If a player does not select one, he or she will default to "no action." The last action submitted before the posted deadline will have effect. Any one mafia may submit the actions for all the mafia. Masons must submit actions individually.
5) Players may be prodded after thirty-six hours without posting. Players may request prods on other players. All prods will be announced in thread. A post must have content to reset the prod timer - "prodge" type posts don't count. The prod timer carries over from one day to the next, i.e. night does not reset the prod timer.
6) Players who do not respond to a prod within twenty-four hours or need to be prodded too many times will be replaced at the discretion of the mod.
7) Because this is a blitz game, VLAs will only be accepted for emergencies. Otherwise, you're required to meet the posting requirements above.
8) Once you're dead, you may no longer post in thread. No 'bah' posts.
Setup-specific Rules
The full setup follows. Feel free to ask any questions via PM or in the game thread.
Spoiler: Full Setup
The setup is open and includes the following:
8 citizens:
2 masons:
1 Mafia Strongman
1 Mafia Goon/Backup Strongman 1
1 Mafia Goon/Backup Strongman 2
Mafia and masons can talk privately at all times, including pregame.
Voting is as usual with phase ending when time runs out or a majority vote is reached. If no majority is reached, the player with the highest number of votes is stranded. In case of a tie, the player who was first to that vote count is stranded. The player voted is not lynched, he is Stranded:
If all players are dead at the end of the night, the mafia wins.
Enjoy the game!

We here at Serene Health Initiatives Transunited would like to remind the users of this game that Most Serene, like all Serene projects, are a group therapy exercise. Should you, or someone you love, at any time see a Serene becoming irate or violent in the game, you are encouraged to very gently remind them that enlightenment and tranquility are more difficult to achieve when one is filled with negative thoughts. We here at Serene Health Initiatives Transunited wish all of you a safe and happy game, and we look forward to each of you assisting with our therapy. Namaste!

Wait, are you a hydra Most Serene?
If so which head is the most serene of Most Serene?
Hi everyone!
I noticed that last game 6 townies died, most of which announced they were going to shoot rather than barricade during the night, let’s try and avoid that mistake.
Isn't it early in the game for that gambit where you claim masons with your scumpal?
DGB
gotta drop them breadcrumbs early or no one believes it
Is it even a gambit if it’s not your first post in the game?

Note that votes don't count if they're not at the beginning of the line.

i know everyone expects me to be calm and take a defensive night time stance during this game because i'm such a reasonable person who would never ever shoot someone for no reason, and i certainly would never hold an entire thread hostage by claiming vig on day one and waving my gun around like a madman threatening to shoot anyone who dares to go against my wagon...
but i just wanna leave open the possibility that we might be hiding tonight instead of shooting
