36/24 prod timers; naked prod dodges are not counted.
Majority elimination mechanics.
Private topics have daytalk.
All roles are multitasking.
Conduct
Don't use
orange
, it's my color.
Play to win.
Don't discuss the game outside of the game until it's over.
Don't flame. Don't harass. Don't use insults that target minority, disadvantaged, or legally protected classes.
Keep interpersonal disputes out of the game thread.
Don't quote or misquote private communications from the moderator.
Don't use encryption, tiny/hidden/unreadable text, or anything that could be easily confused for such.
All replacement requests will be taken as serious, irrevocable, and immediate. Once you request replacement you are no longer a player and may not post.
Don't game the rules, pretend to break the rules, or intentionally test the limits. All pretended violations will be dealt with identically to actual violations.
Don't break the rules of any other ongoing game in this thread.
Don't argue moderator actions in the game thread. If you want to dispute a ruling, do so via PM.
Game mechanics
Day
Days begin with a deadline of
168 hours
(7 days).
Days will end when one of the following events occurs:
The deadline is reached.
A majority vote for a single player is achieved.
A town-aligned player is modkilled.
Votes should be made via the vote tag: “[vote]<playername>[/vote]” or “[v]<playername>[/v]”. Full player names or initial segments thereof are preferred.
When more than half of living players are voting for the same player, that player will be
launched
(eliminated) and the day will end. Votes are irrevocable once a majority is achieved.
If the day reaches deadline without a majority, or if at least half of living players are voting for “No launch”, the day will end and no one will be launched.
I will interpret malformed votes according to my own discretion. In general, if it looks like a vote, I will probably count it as a vote. I reserve the right to edit malformed votes for easier counting.
When a majority vote has been achieved but not yet recognized by the moderator, the game is in
twilight
. Players, including the condemned, may continue to post during this period.
Under certain circumstances I may elect to extend the deadline. I will announce this in thread if it occurs.
Night
Nights will last
48 hours
.
During the night, you should be unable to post in the public game thread. If for some reason you are able, doing so is still against the rules.
Activity requirements
Players who do not confirm within
36 hours
of receiving their role PM will be replaced.
Players who do not post any game-related content for
36 hours
in a single game-day will incur a prod.
Players who do not post any game-related content for
24 hours
following a prod will be replaced.
Players who incur three prods will be replaced.
“Prod dodges” (posts with no game-related content) will be disregarded for purposes of the prod timer.
If for any reason you are temporarily unable to meet these requirements, you may declare V/LA status
in thread
and be excused. V/LA declarations must include a definite end date.
Notwithstanding V/LA status, any player who does not post at all for
5 days
of consecutive day time will be replaced.
These are minimal requirements, not recommendations; please keep the game active.
Sample Role PM
At least one player in this game will have the role of
Townie
and receive the following role PM.

Oh I get the first post? What an honor... What to do with it do? Give a speech? Randomly vote? Claim to be a town leader and get shot night one? So many choices.
I'll stick with the basics though.
Morning my fellow townies, what a glorious day to find evildoers and put them towards execution!
... I'll make a better speech later.

Hi peeps. I'm new here.
Do you know each other and respective playstyles well?
Do you know each other and respective playstyles well?
Not I. I haven't played here in about 2 years. I tend to play a few games and disappear for a few years at a time. Although I feeeel like I might've played with Not_Mafia before?
Do you have much mafia experience off-site, Vivax?

My intro might as well have been Hi I'm Vivax and I'm also an addict.
That was the answer about mafia experience, played this game since...2008?I think. On Teamliquid. It's a bit dead around there now.
Early impressions are you and Elsa seem quite motivated. Not_mafia looks like the type who always plays like mafia, unsurprisingly with that name.

Sup all... first game in a few years, probably more than a little rusty.
Do you know each other and respective playstyles well?
This is my second game in this specific community and the only carryover player is Gera who I spent a fair amount of my last game suspecting before identifying him as the guy scum was trying to get voted off.
That game also started with an immediate self vote, too. Is that a normal thing here?
Also, I'm a kitty. Meow.

Oh and if you want an experience rundown, several years on and off but almost entirely in a 48/24 hour format, most of these games in a community of misogynists. MN 2272 was the first game of that kinda length I was ever involved in.
