Spoiler: Events

Uneventful Mafia game.

flavor

Summer, 2021. The lockdown finally lifted. To celebrate, Cook books a vacation home and invites a few scummers over.

The evening progresses fantastically. Great food, great times. Soon, the sun begins to set. Cook leaps up from their spot and proffers a custom-order deck of cards.

"Shall we?"

[Cook]

Before we begin, a few ground rules.

Boring and Long Rules List

Nope. Didn’t steal these from anybody.

1. MafiaScum rules.
   Follow them. They take precedence over these.
   
2. Mod communication.
   Don't quote it, especially private ones. That means role PMs.
   
3. Private communication.
   Only use the threads I provide. Don't PM other players, use other PTs for talking about this game, or use any other medium to communicate about the game to other players. I'm fine if you mention the votecount in-thread.
   
4. Games.
   You're playing this one. Play to win it.
   
5. Cryptography.
   I don't like it. Don't hash your posts or use a Caesarean cypher or anything like that.
   
6. Small text.
   Don't use it. Anything smaller than the Small size will get bumped up in size, except for tags.
   
7. I don't play dice.
   You shouldn't, either, at least, provably. Provable RNG is prohibited.
   
8. My mod color is

   #0FBF15, bold.
   You may use colors similar to it, however, using the color itself isn't neat.
   
9. My flavor color
   is
   #888888, italicized
   . This will denote information that is not necessary to read to play the game, but will improve your immersion should you read it.
   
10. After death
    you are permitted one contentless bah post. Posting content in a bah post, making multiple bah posts, or bahposting in PTs will get you warned and the bah censored.
    
11. Any questions?
    Ask. Please use PMs, though — that guarantees that I see it and that any potentially sensitive information is kept sensitive.

Ballot Counting

1. VOTE: Cook
   or VOTE: Cook to cast. UNVOTE: or
   UNVOTE:
   without a name on the inside is fine, same with including the vote name. You may use nicknames or shortenings, so long as it's clear who you're referring to
   
2. If I think it counts, it counts.
   If I can't tell who you're referring to, it won't.
   
3. Flips by simple majority.
   Once majority is reached, no new or changed votes will be permitted.
   
4. You may cast a vote for no-flip.
   Just 50% will suffice.

Deadlines and Timing

1. Days last
   seven
   days, nights last
   two
   , with the exception of the first day, which lasts
   ten.
   
   
2. Once a hammer vote has been cast, we enter a phase of Twilight, in which you may continue posting until the flip happens.
   
3. Any posts made post-flip will be redacted.
   
4. Unusual to me, even if I am watching the thread when hammer occurs, twilight is guaranteed to last one hour.
   
   
5. Days will end faster if a hammer happens.
   
6. Nights will end faster if all players vote to nightskip.

Prods, Replacements, and Activity

1. Prods will be issued every 72 hours without game-advancing content. Even something as simple as "Cook is scum" or "Let's vote Cook" counts as advancing content.
   
2. If you are prodded, you have 24 hours to respond or I will search for a replacement.
   
3. If you are prodded 3 times throughout the game, I'll search for a replacement.
   
4. If you are on V/LA, instead, I will poke you every 72 hours. Two pokes is a prod.

The Setup

I can guarantee the following:

• This setup follows Normal guidelines for roles.
  
• There is only
  one scumteam.
  This scumteam is the
  Mafia.
  
  
• Any PT will have
  daytalk.
  
  
• Scum are
  multitasking.
  
  
• Flavor has no effect on the game.

now who wants some more techno yodeling?

As always, don’t feel obligated to be top poster. Prod timer is a whole 3 days long. Remember you can always take breaks — that’s the nice part of forum mafia. Close this tab. Drink some water. Take deep breaths. Take care of yourself, and we’ll see you when you feel you’re ready to come back.

Andante has to catch a flight back home or something, I don't know, I definitely don't have your entire travel itineraries on file. Anyhow. Time to

kidnap

strongly suggest to a passerby that I'll give money to them if they play the game. Hello new person! Play nice.

[Cook]

As a reminder of a rule unique to me, once hammer has occured, Twilight is guaranteed to last one hour (from the hammer).

On a separate note, should I include a history of votes with each votecount, and should I do votecounts more often?

[Cook]

yes and yes and i'd also like an analysis on the game and who you think are the wolves every votecount

that's called "the moderator ruins things."

i can play werewolves of london on the stereo, though

[Cook]

i think that is 6 votes and one off elimintation

Yes, my flip majority is 50%+1. My no-flip majority is 50%, as if half of the votes are cast for no-elimination, no elimination can take place.

[Cook]

It was moderna not Pfizer but I'm gonna eat a food I really like for breakfast and catch up

i heard moderna has better 5g reception than pfizer, but mine is excellent anyway

This is incorrect. I have injected both Moderna and Pfizer into each of my arms.

My 5G did not improve, although getting both a Moderna and a Pfizer needle into each of my arms rendered me unable to perform any meaningful tasks.

Do not get four vaccines at the same time. It will not help you.

It will, however, make you extra immune to the virus, and, after a roughly month-long recovery period, capable of

kidnapping

enticing random passerby on a beach to replace in to your IRL mafia game that you are hosting with people you just met six hours ago.

I comply with all law-breaking Mafia families' wishes.

Technically speaking this is still just a game.

[Cook]

Kinda curious what law was broken

the law against organized crime

[Cook]

something i need to police harder next mod-through is use of the l-word.

for future reference we have eliminated use of the word "lynch" to describe day-elimination. some places still use it but we were one of the last to sunset it. "eliminate" was the proposed universal replacement but i used "flip" as this was a "irl" game of mafia such that the flavor still applied. I believe there's a greater degree of leniency regarding players (especially those who left and returned later) but mods aren't able to use it.

• Use your social deception skills and your vote to further the Mafia's goals.
• Your Mafia partners are XXXX and XXXX.
As you are a Traitor, your partners know you exist, but not who you are. You will not be granted access to the Mafia Private Topic. The Mafia's kill will work on you normally — you cannot be recruited.
• At night you may send me the name of a player.
• Any actions taken against your chosen target that are not factional will fail.
• You are in addition informed of the following:
Your partners have the roles Role Cop and Informed Fruit Vendor. There is one Doctor in the game.

You win once the Mafia reach an unopposable voting majority.
If you are the last remaining Mafia member, you will surrender and the Mafia will lose.

that role PM had the names of the mafia in it, i had these ready for filling in in the mod PT

WELL.

I APPEAR TO HAVE MADE A MOD ERROR.

[Cook]

as a result this implementation of traitor was technically non-normal

i apologize profusely, osuka, bugspray, and vfp

[Cook]

if i were to rerun this:

masons would be neighbors instead

traitor would actually get proper role PM

[Cook]

Why was there a need for a traitor, anyway?

balancing a 12 player setup with 3 scum. 2:10 is a 1:5 scum:town, but 2.5:9 is 1:3 where one of those 1's is weak.

Anyway Cook, I'll be honest, I'm bummed out with the way you handled this game. Not just the mishandling of osuka's role PM, but with the neglect of vote counts. I appreciate that you're taking your time to run this game, but your players are also mentally and emotionally invested in the game. We would have appreciated a greater degree of attentiveness. I hope you can consider what I say and hope you improve as a mod for your next game.

I agree with Human, its not negative feedback, and I wouldn't mod on this site myself and I appreciate the effort that goes into these.
But I think a more common VC is key.
I'm not a player who likes to lie about my role after a hammer, but I had trouble making sure it was a hammer and not a fake hammer.

Again, not negative, just take it into the next game you mod.

Thanks for feedback. Solo modding's tough and I'd prefer to do it with an active backup, or just AS an active backup.
