Modified Rules sponsored by the Legendary Plotinus.

important bit

• Day Length: up to 14 days.
  
• Majority lynches
  
• 48 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement, lenient weekends
  
• Don’t be a dick

1. Follow all site rules.
   
   
2. Mod colour
   – My mod color is
   #0000FF
   ; 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. Tiny text
   - Don't use it excessively or as a means of hiding/coding information.
   
6. Provable randomness
   - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
   
7. Claiming scum
   - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
   
8. Cryptography
   - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
   
9. 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.
   
10. Days
    - Days last 14 irl 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.
    
11. Activity
    - You must post at least once every 48 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.
    
12. 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:
    @Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday
    . While you are V/LA, you will be nudged once every 72 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.
    
13. 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."
    
14. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
    
15. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Plotinus or
    Vote: Plotinus
    . 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. If your vote isn't obvious, it won't be counted (Ex: using an unfamiliar nickname or something that doesn't make it clear who the vote is for).
    
16. 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.
    
17. 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.
    
18. 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.
    
19. 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.
    
20. 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.
    
21. 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.
    
22. Mod's Rights
    - I have the right to add any additional rules at any time. Please point out any and all modding mistakes via gamethread or PM if its sensitive.
    
23. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

• There are 4
  Town
  vs 2
  Mafia Goons
  and
  Mafia Godfather
  
  
• Nightless. The mafia have no night kill.
  
• If the godfather is lynched at any point, the town immediately wins. (This is the only special quality of the godfather.)
  
• If, on LyLo only, one of the townies is lynched, this townie immediately gets to make a kill. (See Vengeful)
  
• The town does not automatically win by having the godfather killed in this way.
  
• Mafia wins when there are at least as many mafia as townies, and the town doesn't have a vengeful kill to use.

I’ll bus you this time.

VOTE: amrun
for posting but apparently not confirming

I thought I did confirm. Oh well.

in that case

VOTE: salamence20

Everyone unvote everyone, me especially.

There is no way that in that extended pregame scum didn't sit and talk about how to deal with me and if they get a quickhammer on me, even if it takes two members, they are probably going to take it and they will be right to do so

If we want to make this a meme game then fine but I'm taking this seriously a and if we're playing to win there's no reason to RVS.

Amrun I gotta say I get a lot of scunfeels from that opener because of both the vote on me and the attempt to spew me your buddy if/when you flip scum.

I dunno, if this is true, maybe it's worth sacrificing you.

• Day 1 (5v2) - Lynch town!RC with 2 scum on the wagon.
  
• Day 2 (4v2) - We lynch out of the 4 on your wagon with a 50% chance to lynch scum. Lets assume we mislynch.
  
• Day 3 (3v2) - LYLO - We lynch from the remaining 3 on your wagon with a 67% chance to lynch scum. Assume we miss again.
  
• vengeful shot at 1 of the remaining 2 which is now 100% to hit scum.
  
• Day 4 (2v1) - We lynch the last scum from your wagon
  
• Town wins

Better than having me lead on 3 scum in a row.

Its most likely nothing but I'm wondering if amrun "not confirming" has to do with posting in a scum PT to confirm vs PMing the mod to confirm

In post 15, RadiantCowbells wrote:Better than having me lead on 3 scum in a row.

shit my math is wrong. I was thinking 2 scum. disregard my previous post

Keep in mind that in high scum count games like this

It only takes 1 bad town willing to vote me to allow scum to lynch me and thus prevent me from leading on scum if scum all put me as a scumread or find some other excuse to be willing to vote me.

If scum don't vote me and generally position me as a scumread then eventually I will get a lynch that I want via attrition and once I've flipped one scum it becomes essentially impossible to go after me til LyLo and I can presumably end the game well before then

If scum put any serious thought into their approach to D1 they are going to all tunnel me and hope that they can get a townie to vote me. Even if it gives me an easy scum venge, they can talk their way out later.

2 scum because you're the third lol?

In all seriousness if you plan to make the game all about you please let me know

I'm making the game all about me because the fact that I have 2 votes on page 1 including a naked RVS vote from someone who I have never encountered before (why did they choose me to RVS) is not a coincidence and I've explained why.

Everyone complained I was making the game about me in baton pass when I pointed out that every single scum was voting Nacho for the baton.

Alright, I'll work with you.

UNVOTE:

And I didn't start thinking this after the start of the game where it could be biased. I thought before the game that scum were all going to go after me and try to memelynch me super early or abuse paranoia and some sort of 'well he will venge scum anyway right' to deal with the fact that they can't NK me and they only need 1 town vote to lynch me. Then I enter the game with two votes, one of which is from a person that I altogether see no reason to be RVSing me.

You appreciate though from my end of things there is a 50% chance you are scum, right?
