Scum day talk? .
Scum safe claims/safe flavor claims? There are mod-provided sample fakeclaims for at least some of the scum but whether they are "safeclaims" is open to debate. I encourage scum to hand-craft their own fakeclaims using the mod-provided fakeclaims as a starting point. The mod-provided fake-claims should prevent the game from being broken by a day-1 massclaim, beyond that I do not make strong promises on the utility of the mod-provided fakeclaims.
Multitasking? The mafia team is factionally multitasking; they can perform a night action and a kill in the same night.
Multiball? No.


Does flavor have an effect? Maybe?
Unique Mechanic? Not sure about Unique, but there's probably going to be some mechanical roles I haven't used in previous games I've modded
Bastard level? This game will have significant swing, roles that you are unlikely to anticipate, and probably some number of red herrings. I do not believe there are any direct moderator lies, mid-game alignment changes, and I will exclude *the specific versions* of some roles listed below.

I do not design post restrictions to encourage or reward spamming and spamming is not allowed in this thread. There CAN be post-restrictions, but these will not *significantly* alter an player's ability to post during the dayphase.

Daybreak is the mod posting the start of day information. Morning is the first 72 hours of the game. Noon is the 72 hour mark. Afternoon is the remainder of the dayphase.

There will be no governor or beloved princess. There will be no mechanics whereby the FLIP of the day can suddenly change, no skipping of night phases, and no skipping of dayphases. There will also be no cults and no mid-game alignment changes. Your wincon will not change. There will be no third parties.

Day actions including daykills would not cause the dayphase to end.

Maximum players leaving the game in a single day/night cycle: 5?

Approximate level of swing: could swing hard but think it's not too bad maybe?

Passive abilities note: Most passive abilities are not subject to roleblocks unless otherwise stated.



At daybreak, I may include flavor text (depending on my availability and schedule). Everyone has flavor. This is a theme game. You are not explicitly prohibited from speculating about flavor text, although, to be clear, a lot of the narrative-style information in my flavor reveals will not be based on night action content. Alignment is randomized and not based on flavor.



Flips may include kill flavor. While this may suggest the role behind the kill, some killing roles may be able to obscure or change their flavor.

Flips will include the role PM with any "Informed" status content redacted.

The janitor role is not prohibited from this game, likewise certain roles may or may not have janitor-like effects for sections of rolecards.


I will set up hydra PTs on discord at request.


I have used Mathblade's vote counter before and liked it a lot, but using name variations that are not misspellings may cause me delays in updating the vote count. I may for any reason stop using the Mathblade vote counter and switch to conventional vote counting by hand.

I will use the offline version of Mathblade's Vote Counter.

important bit

• Day one will be 10 days, 8 day dayphases after that
  
• 48 hour night phase
  
• Majority FLIPS
  
• 48 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement after prod. Slots that do not confirm role pms in 24 hours may be replaced.
  
• Hydras must sign consistently; they can change their handle if desired but should approximately stick to the Hydra Key
  
• Jingle and Xtoxm are co-mods

1. This game uses sitewide rules: https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6470
1a. Do not private message other users about anything having to do with this game in any circumstance even/especially if you are dead/have replaced out/are spectating/etc. If you even think it might be a grey area, it is not a grey area, it is not ok. This includes informal conversations on discord. Do not refer indirectly to game events in this game until the game is complete, including in signatures, signup threads, or anywhere else. Do not refer to statements made in this game in this game in other games.
2. No reference, whatsoever, should be made about other ongoing games. Ever. Not directly, not indirectly, not at all. -- https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=30908


1. Be nicer to other people than they are to you. Attack the play not the player.
1a. Assume good faith for replace-outs. If you replace out, please do not comment directly or indirectly about the game in other sections of the site including the queue and/or your signature. This falls into the broad umbrella of "outside influence."
1b. Please do not ask other players to replace out, discourage them from playing the game, or otherwise create a hostile gaming environment. This is now also a sitewide rule.
2.
2a.
2b. in-thread. If I somehow forget to send you a role pm or send you multiple role pms, please contact me .
2c. You can claim scum, and you can claim scum with someone else provided that the moderator can reasonably suspect non-malicious motives behind such.
2d. Scum can night kill their teammates, but I must see evidence that such a move is not game-throwing.
2e. Do not say or imply that you have not been reading the thread. If you need time to catch up, you can say this.
3.
4.
5. Cryptography and other forms of codes are generally not allowed. Breadcrumbs are generally okay.
6.
7. In particular, do not use the dice tag.
8. Hydras -- Hydras must sign posts according to their requested handle, decided day 1 or pre-game. You are welcome to post an ego post on your main. Hydra slips will not result in warnings, although you should not treat your main as your head of the hydra. Personally, I think there is no need to quote hydra slips on the hydra account, although I won't stop you from doing this either.
9. Please try to make the game at least relatively mobile friendly. On that note, please try not to quote large chunks of embedded quote chains for short replies--if you are really just referring to the last thing someone said, just say @playername and then reply rather than quoting a large quote chain for another short reply.


1. Do not attempt to impersonate the moderator. Note I don't actually edit in replies all that often. I also often just write replies using normal text.
2. Do not edit or delete your post if for some reason you have the ability to do so. This includes on any related discord server.
3. This rule does not refer to day abilities, if any exist, that are stated in your role PM. Please refrain from asking too many questions of the moderator about roleclaims unless absolutely necessary.
4a. PM me regarding VC related questions; V/LA can be declared in thread.
4b.
4c. If there is a declared day action, you can ask the moderator to confirm that day actions have resolved, rather than waiting only for the next Vote Count. If the day action was fake, or if the day action was real but failed, either way the stated moderator response will be: "All pending day actions have resolved."
5.
5a.
6.
6a. Post links to anything except the main thread, timestamps, and read statuses should never be referenced in the game thread.
6b. You may directly copy-paste (usually in bold) as well as your alignment, flip role, and effective role from your role pm, but .
6c. Confirmed same-alignment players can quote their role PMs in their private topics (i.e. masons).
6d. Do not quote your hydra PT in the game thread or include embedded links to your hydra PT in the game thread. You can copy and paste text from your hydra PT so long as it is plain text and does not include links to any posts in the hydra PT.
7. No Bah! posts.


1. Follow the spirit of the rules.
1a.
1b. While the moderator will generally assume good-faith, action can be taken against inadvertent rule breaks if deemed necessary.
2. Players in any thread except the Dead PT may request redactions at any time I release the PT. The dead thread is released immediately on the conclusion of the game.
3. The moderator reserves the right to update this ruleset as necessary. , and


1. Day one lasts 10 days, other day phases will last 8 days. Nights last 24 hours.
2. There will be a minimum of 24 hours between the time a replacement is found and when night actions are due.
3. You will be prodded after of inactivity; this does not change on weekends. All prods should be responded to
4. 2 prod dodges are equivalent to a single prod. If you are prodded again from prod-dodging, you may not prod dodge. Prodges must still include some game content: "Krazy is still scum", "Krazy is still town," and "I like this wagon" are good enough for a prodge. While a subjective rule, prod dodges are objectively defined as posts that consist of little or no content related to the game with the sole purpose of avoiding prodding. Minimum content is not defined here as to mitigate abuse, but do realize that this rule is applied as objectively as possible.
5. You should also set V/LA in the User CP to make sure I do not forget.
6. If you have , it is to either inform me at the end of or to remember to set V/LA status.
7. Excessively long V/LAs () may have stricter requirements imposed on them.
8. I reserve the right to warn and replace players whom I believe are exploiting loopholes in the activity rules. Please note that players are expected to do more than the bare minimum as outlined by these prodding rules. I reserve the right to warn and/or replace players whom I believe are exploiting loopholes in the activity rules, or are otherwise not treating the game as the commitment they signed up for.

1. To vote, use
   Vote: Player
   or VOTE: Player.
   
2. To unvote, use
   Unvote: Player
   or UNVOTE: Player.
   
3. You do not have to unvote to change votes.
   Furthermore, I will only track the last *valid* vote in your post.
   Vote Conspiracy
   will not change your existing vote.
   
4. Player abbreviations are allowed, although it must be *obvious* who your abbreviation refers to -- to the vote counter, preferably. If your vote is not being caught by the vote counter scrubber, I may edit your post.
   
5. Hammer occurs when votes equal to half of all living players (rounded down) plus one cast a vote against the same player (or No Flip). All votes after a hammer will not be counted, and the hammered player is the one who will flip. The time following a hammer is Twilight, and all players may continue talking.
   
6. No FLIP will occur if deadline is reached without a hammer.

Still waiting one one pick, design and review will take at least 1-2 days after that probably is my guess

Rolecards are out, game will begin with 11/13 confirmations

The reign of the Queen, the Orca of the depths, has ended... suddenly.

There's only one thing this can mean. A new force has entered the animal kingdom, a new power changing the shape of things in what will already be a frantic struggle for leadership and dominance. Some new force wants to take control... by any means necessary. Will it be survival of the fittest?

Or will it be... survival of the cutest?

There's no way to tell since this is...

POST YOUR BEST KOALA GIFS LETS HAVE A GIF-OFF

I’m sad I didn’t get to be town dolphin again but this will have to suffice.

It's KOALA TIIIIIIMEEEEEEEEE

waaaaay too many koala gifs for my liking.

Any thoughts on claiming what animals we chose?

Hey, all.

I’m your Inexperience-Challenged (IC) player in this game. As the IC, I have to adhere to specific guidelines as listed in Being a Good IC. In short, my job is to answer any questions you might have about game mechanics and theory; and, in doing so I will never intentionally misguide you.

However, it is important to note that I am also a player in this game, and I do have to play to achieve my win condition (wincon). I have just as much likelihood of being mafia as anybody else here.

Some links you might want to read up on first:
Glossary
Commonly Used Abbreviations
Newbie Guide
A Beginner’s Guide to Being Awesome At Mafia

There are a few key concepts to discuss before we get started to help you better understand the site meta:

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, E-x, and Hammers

E-x is a way to convey how far away a player is away from elimination. For example, you should always announce that you are putting someone at E-1 (1 vote away from an elimination) so that someone doesn’t come along and accidentally vote for that player's elimination. This also prevents Mafia-aligned players from coming along and placing the final vote to eliminate (“hammer”) and claiming ignorance about doing so. You may also see E-2 and E-3 (2 votes away from elimination and 3 votes away from elimination, 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 eliminated, 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 E-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 eliminated, you might cause a real PR to out themselves by counterclaiming - then the mafia will know who the PR is, and you will probably get eliminated for lying to town. Feel free to fake a claim as scum, though, if you think it would help.

ELo

ELo is the shortened representation of “Eliminate or Lose.” ELo 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 eliminate (“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!

I actually had to check the thread to make sure this wasn’t the newbie queue.
