--most important rule: be nice and don't be mean--
general:
- Please adhere to the site rules.
- Do not discuss this game of mafia outside of this thread.
- Day phases will last 5 days, 15 hours and 30 minutes (or until an execution is achieved).
- Night Phases will last 39 hours maximum. On any given night, if all players PM me that they are okay to speed up the night, it will end sooner.
- During night phase, no talking may be done in the thread.
- Do not quote PM's from the mod at all (real or fabricated).
This includes specific timestamps; please ask me if you're uncertain whether something breaks this rule.
Paraphrasing is acceptable.
- If you have any questions about your role, or the game, feel free to PM the mod.
- "Bah" posts are not allowed.
- i don't like players using the term "lynch" in my game, and i make an effort to provide a bunch of fun and stupid alternatives. i would appreciate seeing that effort returned
- If you break any of these rules, you might get modzoinked.
voting / player actions:
- Vote either with vote tags (VOTE: schadd) or with bold (
vote: schadd
). Note that I didn't include the underscore in my username; you may choose to use a string that will uniquely identify a player to me instead of the exact thing.
- Don't try to confuse me with your votes.
- You may vote No Execution to Not Execute.
- An Execution will occur once a majority decision is reached. If no majority is reached by deadline, then no execution shall occur.
- Following an execution, it is twilight. You may continue to post until I lock the thread and declare it night.
- If nobody dies for 3 consecutive day and night phases, the town will win.
- If you have a Night Action, you may submit it from Night 1 and each subsequent Night (or whichever nights are specified by the role).
activity:
- You are expected to post at least once every 48 hours. If you haven't posted for 48 hours, I shall prod you. If you do not respond to the prod within 24 hours (either in thread if it's Day, or via PM during the Night) then I will replace you.
- As well, if you require more than three prods, I will force-replace you.
-
If you decide to replace out, PLEASE PM me and don't post in thread after doing so - if you want to rescind the replacement BLEASE PM ME AGAIN and dont post in thread until i have been like "ok np"
mechanics:
-
Aquamarine, 21B35F
is my color. Please don't use it.
- No impossible/hard to read text, or cryptography. For example, I would prefer that no font size smaller than the one you're reading now be used.
- The mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
- If you need to get the mod's attention, either PM me, or bold the text you wish to draw to my attention.
- I reserve the right to alter/remove/add any rules as I see fit. You will, of course, be notified if that happens, however.
SETUP (reiterated from signups):
the skeleton of this game is a 19 player normal setup. however, the voting mechanics during the day will be different: i will assign everybody to a voting bloc during the day. each player will be put into a group, and votes are allocated on the level of the group - so if a group of 5 players is, by plurality, voting player X, all 5 of that group's votes will be allocated to eliminating player X. here is a sample ending of a day while 11 players are alive (letters represent players)
in this scenario, player A would receive 8 votes, and one person among B, C, G chosen randomly would receive 3 votes. days will end when a majority is reached (which would occur with this vote count), but i imagine most days will end at deadline on plurality (
so the day phases will be fairly short, 5 days and 15 hours and 30 minutes long
).
something to understand is that these groups will be chosen by me (as well as my team of consultants) to try to be as Evil as possible. to the best of my ability, i will organize the groups in a way that disrupts gameplay, creates unreasonable power dynamics and overvalues certain players' votes, exacerbates personality clashes, and generates a wave of Pure Nonsense that will influence execution choices. as such,
this is a bastard game
, however this paragraph is the extent of the bastardness: i will try not to create any obvious alignment information in these assignments (unless it is very funny) and
nothing else is fishy i promise
- it will be 15:4, normal setup (which you can expect to be not insane), no mod lying, etc. i hope to create a game that you can still theoretically take seriously in spite of it all.
if there are only one or two more town alive than mafia, this gimmick is not in play (votes occur as normal).
ADDITIONAL INFO:
it is quite possible that spectating players can influence my thought processes for the bloc allocations
private topics will be open during day phases
there will be no traitor or ninja roles.
reiterating here that it is 15:4 and a normal setup

make note of the somewhat fast deadline - the day will end with plurality if a majority is not reached

@schadd, the fickle: is non voting plurality possible?
not sure exactly what u mean here. there's no outcome where an execution does not occur - not voting is not an option for the final choice, it just means that that person's vote isn't being used

i mean like, does gypyx have 8 votes right now
ah! yea that part doesn't take effect until deadline. only majorities within groups can take effect before deadline, so if there are 5 people in your group voting somebody then that person is treated as though they have 8 votes.

Example. 1 person in a bloc of 8 is voting Player A. All others in that bloc are not voting. Is the bloc not voting or are they voting Player A?
Although judging by this answer I assume it's the latter.
if deadline has expired it is the latter, otherwise the former

@MOD: so group 1 aren't "voting", until their last two members vote, even though that cannot affect the groups vote?
each group can be considered as allocating all of its group members to a choice once a majority forms within that group. so once 5 players in group 1 are voting for someone, it is as if 8 players are voting for them in a typical game, which is something that can produce a majority with the help of two more votes from other sources
