2. Posts consisting purely of insults without game content are not tolerated. I penalize such posts with a strike. Three strikes and you're out. Severe issues will be reported to the listmods.

3. Claiming scum is allowed. Claiming scum with another player (whether as a joke or not) will result in severe consequences for you, and consequences for your team.

4. Play towards your win condition. Gambits are fine, directly harming your own team is not.

5. Loophole abuse is not tolerated.





1. Voting must be bolded in the form - bold tags or

VOTE: Player vote tags

or else they will not be counted. Unvotes are not required to change your vote, but they are helpful. Please note: I'm using an automated vote counter.

2. Votes inside of spoiler tags will not be counted.

3. I don't mind if you use nicknames/abbreviations when you vote someone. But if I have no idea who you're voting for, then the vote won't be counted. Please note: the vote counting application may be more finicky about nicknames than I am. If you notice that your vote hasn't been recorded, please let me know.

4. Eliminations require a majority of votes: (number of living players/2) +1, rounded down.

5. If there's no majority at deadline, there's no elimination.

6. When the hammer vote is cast, all players, including the eliminated may talk freely until the final vote count and eliminated player's card-flip have been posted. If the thread is not locked, it's ok for you to post.

6. Once you are dead, you may not post in the game thread again. No"Bah" posts.

7. Deadlines are set at 10 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements near deadline, or under other extraordinary circumstances (e.g., site outages, major holidays).

8. Nights will last 48+ hours, rounded up to the nearest midnight or noon US Eastern Time.

Replacing Out

If you need to replace out of this game, send me a private message about it. Do NOT post that you want to be replaced, or that you have asked to be replaced in the game thread.
I will acknowledge your replacement request by replying to your PM. From that time forward, you are out of the game. Do not make any posts in the game thread.

This is a site rule that can entail penalties if broken. It applies to all mafia games at Mafiascum.net unless the game moderator explicitly states otherwise.

1. Prods will be given if you do not post in .

2. You will be replaced if you either do not respond to a prod, or (at my discretion) if you need to be prodded more than 3 times total. You may request for a player to be prodded at any time. Prods requested when a player has been absent for less than 48 hours do not count for replacement purposes.

3. If you are V/LA (on vacation/have limited access), make sure I know. If you are V/LA for more than a week, I suggest requesting replacement, but it's not required, unless you are not able to post at all. If a lengthy V/LA is adversely affecting the game (e.g., if you are not able to post minimally during that time), then I may replace you without penalty.





1. Dark Blue (#004080) is the color I will use for mod posts. Please don’t use this color or otherwise try to make your posts look like mod posts.


3. No editing, deleting, using invisible texts, write in code, using font sizes less than 70, etc...

4. Don't quote or reproduce any mod-received PMs. Your flavor is for you to enjoy and you only, until the end of the game.

5. Vocaroos, Youtubes, etc, may not be used to make game-content posts. e.g., do not record a vacoroo with your thoughts about the game and post it.

6. I make mistakes. If you notice I make one, please let me know.

You remember like it's yesterday, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Lake Phantasia Tarot Theme Park. It was sunny and breezy, perfect weather for an all day summer outing. The entire city council, armed with spades, turned over shovel-fulls of sandy soil and traded congratulatory elbow-bumps. A brass band played Dixieland jazz, and there were even carnival-style booths for kite-making and face painting (well, forehead painting -- we were all masked-up that day, and the ceremony had nearly not happened at all, given the guidelines about large outdoor crowds last year). Coronavirus notwithstanding, every psychic within 50 miles showed up to do assorted readings and there was even a lecture by an occult expert on the meaning of the Major Arcana card journey -- something like that. You hadn't paid all that much attention. Whatever the divinatory means, the psychics had accurately predicted there wouldn't be an outbreak traced to the ceremony.



Today, nearly a year later, several attractions are at or near completion and nearly ready to be unveiled.

The inspiration behind the theme park, Lucia Tavella, daughter of a former mayor and philanthropist, went on a gap-year tour of Europe in 2019 and was inspired by a theme park in Italy. She plans to be on hand for the festivities as the theme park readies for a grand opening.



Even though the construction project has been fairly straightforward and incident-free, there are still quite a few residents and businesses who oppose the entire idea of a theme park in our lovely city. Reasons for opposition vary, and some unlikely alliances have formed. Conservative religious groups, country club members, former factory workers and even the goofy golf and waterslide park owners have been less than thrilled about having a Tarot-themed amusement park in their back yards.

Be that as it may, the Tarot Park is nearly ready to open for business, and you can't wait for the gates to open!
