Rules

Inspired by Equinox's, Glork's and Ether's rulesets.

important bit

• Day 1: up to 10 days, Day 2+ up to 7 days, Night: 48 hours.
  
• Majority lynches
  
• 36 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement, 24 hour weekends
  
• Bah posts allowed (limit: 1, free of game related content)
  
• I have some unusual rules about animated GIFs, tiny text, and prodging. Scroll down for details.
  
• Don’t be a dick

1. Follow all site rules.
   
   
2. Mod colour
   – My mod colour is
   grey
   ; don't use it.
   
3. Behaviour
   - Don’t be a dick. This is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player. If your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. If you do not stop, I will tell you to stop. If you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced. Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself lynched if you try it.
   
4. Don't talk about ongoing games
   - You may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
   
5. Animated GIFs
   - are of the devil, but they are permitted behind spoilers if clearly labelled as such.
   
6. Tiny text
   - is also of the devil, keep it 70+ please.
   
7. Provable randomness
   - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
   
8. Claiming scum
   - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
   
9. Cryptography
   - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
   
10. Confirmation
    - You have about 72 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
    
11. Days
    - Day 1 lasts 10 days and other days last 7 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements, or if the majority of players make it clear to me that an extension is desired.
    
12. Activity
    - You must post at least once every 36 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. If you come back before I find a replacement, you can stay. The activity timers run at half-speed on weekends. Players can request me to prod somebody early. This will only count as an official prod if you don't post before you would have been due for a prod. If you haven't posted in the 24 hours before the thread is locked for night, you must reply to the night start PM or you will be replaced during the night.
    
13. Vacation/Limited Access
    If you need to be absent for longer than this, you should declare
    V/LA
    in bold in the thread like this: [
    b]

    @Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday

    [
    /b]. While you are V/LA, you will be nudged once every 54 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 5 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
    
14. Prodging
    - A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. To avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; xxxx is still scum."
    
15. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
    
16. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Plotinus or
    Vote: Plotinus
    . Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
    v]Plotinus[
    /v] to vote and [
    uv]Plotinus[
    /uv] to unvote.
    
17. Lynching
    - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to lynch somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no lynch, the day will end without a lynch. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no lynch.
    
18. Twilight
    - Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread. You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
    
19. Night
    - Night lasts at least 48 hours. The night phase can be shortened if every living player -- even those with no night actions -- agrees to it and if I'm not busy.
    
20. Action submissions
    - You may submit actions via PM (if town) or PT (if scum). If the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do nothing. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
    
21. Reminders
    - If I don't hear from you about your night actions, I'll PM you 24 hours before the deadline. This doesn't count as a prod. If I still don't hear from you, you will take no action.
    
22. Notes PT
    - Let me know if you want a private thread to store your thoughts and feedback for the other players. This thread will be made public immediately after the game. You may draft posts in your notes PT but you may not talk about your notes PT in public. You definitely may not use the notes PT to demonstrate that you've had a town mindset in private all along; just put your town mindset in public to begin with and keep your notes to yourself.
    
23. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

Setup Info

Newbie Setup

Newbie Setup

NewD3 (as designed by RadiantCowbells):

	A	B	C
Mafia	Mafia Roleblocker	Mafia Rolecop	Mafia Goon
Row 1	Town Cop and Town Doctor	Town Tracker and Town Friendly Neighbor	Town Cop and Vanilla Townie
Row 2	Town Jailkeeper and Town Tracker	Town Jailkeeper and Town Friendly Neighbor	Town Jailkeeper and Vanilla Townie
Row 3	Town Mason and Town Mason	Town Tracker and Town Doctor	Town Mason and Town Mason

Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates one mafia role from the top of a column, and then two town roles from a row below the selected mafia role. The remaining six roles will be filled in by

one mafia goon

and

five vanilla townies

appropriately, to create a

2-mafia

and

7-town

setup.

All Newbie games use the Natural Action Resolution system for determining Night action effects.

Mafia Roleblocker

action takes precedence over a

Town Jailkeeper

action should that apply.

Mafia are able to communicate in their Private Topic at all times, and Mafia Power Roles are able to use their role ability and the factional kill in the same night.

Introduction and Tips

Here are some helpful links (a lot of them from our helpful wiki):

-> Forum Rules and Guidelines
-> The Glossary
-> Commonly Used Abbreviations
-> The Newbie Guide
-> Articles on How to Play Well (be sure to check the dates these were written/updated, as good advice changes over time)

Key Concepts and Tips

Activity

Try to check in at least once a day.

Besides the activity requirements listed in the moderator's original post, it's just necessary for a fun and healthy game that everyone

plays

. If you post very rarely, or only post a little bit at a time, you may get scumread for lurking. Even if you are not scumread for it, what's the fun in playing a game where multiple people are hardly participating?

Site Meta

Meta is the description of how people on Mafiascum like to play mafia. Things can be different on other online mafia sites, or if you play IRL, so it's good to know what's expected of you on this site. These aren't "rules", per se, but if you don't follow these guidelines it is likely things will go poorly for you on MS. Some examples are...

Random Voting Stage (RVS)

Games on MafiaScum almost always begin with what we call the Random Voting Stage (RVS). At this point in the game, we are in a low information game state (except the mafia, which know everyone’s alignment). As a way to provoke reaction, start a discussion, and try to determine alignment, people will usually vote for non-serious reasons. As the discussion progresses, we will eventually get the game moving and progress out of RVS.

Voting, L-x, and Hammers

L-x is a way to convey how far away a player is away from a lynch. For example, you should always announce that you are putting someone at L-1 (1 vote away from a lynch) so that someone doesn’t come along and accidentally vote for that players lynch. This also prevents Mafia-aligned players from coming along and placing the final vote to lynch (“hammer”) and claiming ignorance about doing so. You may also see L-2 and L-3 (2 votes away from a lynch and 3 votes away from a lynch, respectively).

Before you hammer a player, state your intent to hammer (usually done in bold) and ask the player to claim their role. This is done to prevent power roles from being lynched, and can sometimes get Mafia-aligned players to be caught (via counter claiming). It's best to then allow other players to react and discuss the claim before hammering.

Claiming Your Role

It is almost always best to not claim your role unless you are at L-1 and have been asked to claim as part of an “intent to hammer.” This is because, as a town power role (“PR”), if you out prematurely, you are likely to be night-killed (“NK’d”). As a Vanilla Townie (“VT”), claiming early helps the mafia team narrow down the setup and possible PR candidates. An exception to this would be if a mafia player claimed your role, claiming early to counter the false claim (“CC”) would out the mafia player, and would be a benefit to the town.

Do not fake claim a power role as town!

While it may help you avoid getting lynched, you might cause a real PR to out themselves by counter claiming - then the mafia will know who the PR is, and you will probably get lynched for lying to town. Feel free to fake a claim as scum, though, if you think it would help.

LyLo

LyLo is the shortened representation of “lynch or lose.” LyLo in the Newbie Queue is when there are 3 remaining players, 2 of which are town and 1 is mafia; or when there are 5 remaining players, 3 of which are town and 2 are mafia. It is important in these situations that the town aligned players do not carelessly vote like is done during RVS or early days, as the mafia player(s) can organize and instantly provide the necessary votes to lynch (“quickhammer”) and win the game.

Conclusion

Mafia is hard!

As town, it can be hard to figure things out, and stressful when people think you're scum.

That's okay!

Just share your thoughts on who you think is scum as they come to you, and don't be afraid to change your mind. As scum, it can be hard to lie convincingly, and stressful when people think you're scum. Don't let that scare you! Try to think of what you would post if you were town, and don't be afraid to "change your mind".

This is a game.

Have fun!

[Plotinus]

All role PMs have been sent out (in the order of the signup list so timestamps mean nothing)! We will start in (expired on 2019-11-10 21:00:00) or when [8/9] people have confirmed, whichever happens sooner.

The above clock and any others used throughout this game will be accurate from the time you loaded the page.

Edit: the script I use to initialise my games had a bug and many posts it created this time had lots of typos. I think I have managed to correct them all.

Everyone except for TheGoldenParadox is here, so we can get started early. TheGoldenParadox has another (expired on 2019-11-10 21:15:00) to remember mafiascum exists before I start looking for a replacement.

Please take a moment to familiarise yourselves with my ruleset because I have some rules you may not have encountered in other games before regarding animated gifs, tiny text, prodging and perhaps some other things.

I figured out the bug in my script: sometimes my flavour has links to websites where i find cool stuff and sometimes it doesn't. I want to be able to just hit enter when it prompts me for a link and then delete any empty url tags later, but instead I deleted the letters u, r, and l any time they appeared next to each other. I've fixed it for next time. Thankfully, I had the foresight to make it pause for confirmation before sending out each role PM. So nobody was told they were a vania townie.[/area]

It's so quiet in here!

I'm going to be away on Thursday-Saturday. Nancy Drew will be our backup mod while I'm gone; if she prods you, it is a real prod.

[Plotinus]

I will freeze the deadline at 48 hours if TheGildedSun's slot is still empty then, and there can be an extension if the replacement requests it. Same thing for Titus if she doesn't return.

[Plotinus]

Also if a lynch happens while there are any empty slots then night will last until at least 24 hours after they're all filled.

[Plotinus]

PvtUrist replaces TheGildedSun! Please welcome them!

[Plotinus]

I've extended the deadline to (expired on 2019-11-27 21:00:00) on request. I've edited the last votecount to reflect this, and the OP. Previous vote counts will still have the old time.

Day 2 Lynch - GuiltyLion

---

Guilty Lion

has been lynched day 2. He was a

vanilla townie

It is now Night 2. Deadline for night actions is (expired on 2019-11-28 19:00:00). I will be V/LA then. Nancy Drew 39 will do daystart for you, at this time or at her convenience, if we don't get enough takers for short night in time for me to do it.

PvtUrist hasn't posted in 24 hours and must reply to the night start PM so I know he's still playing; otherwise he'll be replaced during the night and daystart will be delayed. We can do a shorter night if all 6 living players, whether you have night actions or not, agree. If all of you agree quickly enough then maybe I can do daystart for you myself before I go.

Please CC Nancy Dew 39 on your night actions.

[Plotinus]

Titus and faüstiv played very well. I was surprised that Titus wasn't investigated for that hammer; it's perfectly reasonable to lynch somebody for hammering like that. You won't always hit scum by lynching people who quickhammer -- I did it myself by accident as town tracker in my second game. But it's reasonable to do so. I'm not really sure why GuiltyLion was lynched.

BlatantScum played in a very trolly way, but some people are just like that, regardless of their role. I am not sure whether it is the best policy to just lynch them anyway. With some players you can learn to distinguish their town trolling from their scum trolling, but that takes time and experience and getting to know people.

A site norm that you should know about, that you didn't see in my ruleset and weren't told about when you died, so it's completely reasonable that you didn't know, is that the game isn't over until the mod comes in and makes a post saying that the game is over: sometimes people miscount and someone wasn't actually lynched, or in other queues there can be special roles where it takes more votes than expected to lynch somebody (admittedly these roles are usually disabled in LYLO), or in a closed setup, if there were a vig who could kill mafia tonight you might not know about it. So for all these reasons if you're dead or otherwise not playing, you shouldn't post until the mod has said the game is over.

No harm was done in this case and it's not your fault that nobody told you.

This thread is now open for postgame discussion. You can post here even if you were dead and even if you didn't play.

[Plotinus]

Also, lately I've been keeping track of some statistics about who is due for a prod next, when I look at the game. I thought it might be that scum are usually more likely to be the person who hasn't posted in a while, but not necessarily the person who gets prodded the most because you can post once every 35 hours and never get a prod. This is the second or third game I've been keeping track of and so far my hypothesis seems to be wrong:

Day 1: 2/13 scum 11/13 town
Day 2: 3/11 scum 8/11 town
Day 3: 1/2 scum 1/2 town

Even accounting for there being more town alive than scum, in this game, and in the previous ones that i kept track of, scum are not more likely than town to be the lurker who might get prodded soon.

[Plotinus]

A two-or-three game sample size isn't that great but the previous games I kept track of had similar results.

Before I started keeping track, it seemed like my hypothesis was true, probably due to noticing bias, where I paid more attention when it was scum player who was due a prod next and less attention when a town player was due a prod next.

[Plotinus]

I’m sorry! I’ll remember for next time about posting before game over.

But FAUS YOU’RE EVIL!! I’m truly impressed. Don’t think I played very well looking back on things but I tried my best. I have a lot to learn.

It's all right, not your fault that nobody told you. I've edited my standard dead thread OP so that future players will know.

[Plotinus]

Also, thanks to Nancy Drew 39 for taking care of you guys while I was away
