Welcome to Snow Valley, a quiet, peaceful mountain town. Hidden in a small valley in the Rocky Mountains, it was founded in the 1870s by grizzled old prospector Nathaniel Green. Mr. Green laid claim to a small stake of gold and silver which played out rather fast. He used up much of his profits in the founding of Snow Valley, although rumor suggest that he had a hidden cache of gold and silver buried somewhere in town. Old man Green was consistently elected mayor until his death in 1897. Since then, his descendants have become prominent members of the community, but no hidden treasure has ever been found. Now, the valley is slowly dying and is due for their last big snow storm of the season, and several of the family members are getting restless.

1. Bold your votes and unvotes please, this makes it easier for us. They should look like this: Vote arimnaes (since it makes vote counting easier for me).
2. You don't need to unvote before you vote again.3. Any votes or unvotes not in bold will not be counted.
4. Do not communicate at night or day unless your role PM says otherwise.
5. Do not quote PM's or you will be modkilled. You can discuss the flavor and paraphrase it in your own words, but do not quote me.
6. You don't need to unvote...
7. You may vote No lynch, and a majority of these votes will end the day without a death.
8. Please do not edit or delete your posts no matter how stupid a mistake you made. This will get you modkilled. This is your only warning.
9. Once you’re dead, you’re dead, so stop posting please. A single ‘bah’ post is permissible.
10. Even after you are dead, please refrain from discussing the game or your role with anyone, even other players who have also been eliminated. If you have any questions about this rule, please ask.
11. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 72-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Otherwise, you may be prodded or replaced.
12. If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, tough! No choice will be made.
13. Lynches will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will go unheeded.
14. If you are requesting a mod prod or vote count, please bold your request so that we can see it more clearly.
15. In order to keep this game moving, everyone is expected to post at least once every two to three days and if you don't, you may be replaced or modkilled. WITHOUT WARNING, whatever your side.
16. In the event of a deadline, if no lynch is made, the day will end in No Lynch
17. The Town Win Condition is: You win when all the mafia are dead.
18. HAVE FUN. This is not optional. Not having fun may result in a mod-kill
19. Lastly and most importantly. Respect us and the rest of the players and I hope I do not have to modkill anyone.
Here is a sample vanilla town PM:
You are [role name here].
[flavor text here]
You win when all the mafia are dead.
I appreciate your patience guys. It being pre-release weekend I assumed it would slow down around here, so I was not really planning on opening the game until tomorrow anyway. If the last player has not confirmed by the time I check in tomorrow, then I will go ahead and open the game and begin looking for a replacement.
Dawn broke like blood upon the freshly driven snow. No, wait, it is blood.
The storm that had rolled in last night was a big one, covering the town with several feet of now by morning. While it has slowed down considerably, it show no sign of stopping or moving on for several days at least. The surviving residents are quite incapable of leaving.
I say "surviving", because most of the residents were murdered in their beds with only the falling snow as witness.
One dozen people gather in the Town Hall, all that is left of the several-hundred that had recently made up this community, and all twelve of them descendants of the founder.
Surely the perpertrators must still be among you.
Now you must work together to find them out and deliver justice, before they finish their plan, and leave this a ghost town. Day 1 has begun. With 12 alive it is 7 to lynch.
Maybe I'm not doing this whole mafia thing right... but
Vote nolynch
Is there really any reason to vote for anyone this early?
If the town severely outnumbers the mob, don't we run a greater risk of lynching someone whos vote we need.
Or am I just a naive noob who doesn't know what hes talking about
Nolynch is bad because it essentially lets the scum choose who we lynch. Using the "We run a greater risk of lynching town" argument makes no sense because if that was the case, nobody should ever vote anybody.
Anyway, vote malcolm because of basic 18.
Then vote: Bolmedias for being bolmedias.
Malcolm... making sense? This can't be good... Vote: Malcolm. Just a quick question Malcolm, will this be like #18, or do you intend to post reasoning this game? Unvote, also.

So after this whimsical calvacade of random votes.
Vote lrd(for calling me Shelly
Exactly what sort of information are we going to use to finger mafia members.
unvote
I mean, I know I'm not mafia. I could openly declare that. We could ask that everyone do so. Make people promise not to lie, swear an oath etc.
Vote Anaklusmos761(For having numbers in his name.)
But it seems very unlikely that anyone would actually admit to being mafia, unless they were ridiculously dumb (or complusively told the truth, even over the internet). So everyone will claim to be town/not mafia.
Unvote
The FAQ suggest that lurking is a "scummy" tactic. But I don't understand what is inherently scummy about it. And considering that the implications of such activity is a well known fact (i.e if you lurk, you are mafia) then shouldn't mob members not lurk to through us off?
Vote Hat@Clogs (My first hate vote? Right, cause he pointed the FoS at me... or not hate cause he didn't actually vote for me.)
Maybe it is too early to be engaged in serious discussion (I apologize for derailing the randomness people seem to love so much) but I am highly curious to hear what sort of activity people consider "scummy".

Well, there are many things that are scummy. For example, contradicting yourself is scummy. Using awful logic is scummy. Not providing valid reasons for voting is scummy, except in the random phase. Generally, if something makes you think "What the heck was that guy thinking?", it is probably scummy. There are a lot of other things, but getting experience by playing in a lot of games or reading them will really help a lot.

That was one of the worst posts i have ever seen on a forum, bad circular logic is bad no mater how many times you go around the circle.
This may be my first game of mafia, but darn if I don't attempt to try and make things make sense!
You know this is the random phase still right? While bad logic is bad is usually a rule of thumb that works, in this case it doesn't. Unless the sarcasm went way over my head, in which case disregard what I am saying.

bolmedias already lost all all games so why make him lose this one vote gigas1 cause you played in guildpat mafia and you were the red/green guy . i hate that color combination played against me

Mostly correct, although the lynch should NEVER be a shot in the dark. If somebody is our lynch, then they will have done something to seem scummy.
So attempting to make my vote not a shot in the dark i have looked at the only thing we have right now. Since it seems the posting is really just random right now i looked at forum confirms and post counts.
Did not confirm on forum (So i assume had to confirm in pm)
bolmedias
Gigas1
Anaklusmos761
Malcolm
And Ird but he is an alternate so i dont know if he had the ability to confirm on forum.
So these are just raw numbers because i cant discern any substance from posts but am wondering if we cant use these numbers to help. The first thing i notice is three of the people who did not confirm on the forum have the highest post counts.
lrd is most experienced so if his town we have a great asset
but what if his mafia then we could all lose to his higher experience.
i better say we vote for him.
so i vote lrd

Basically what I think Vezopiraka is trying to say is the lrd will be a great asset to whatever side he is on, whether it is the town or the mafia/scum.
And I agree, activity is probably not a good way to scumhunt at this time.
sy but im not a native american ad when im not writing at exams i ussually forgot how to spell some words. also my laptop has pretty small keys so is hard to tap the right one and sometimes it doesnt even care tat i tap his buttons
p.s. as for the errors i meant "he's","greater exp","i say its better to post for him
