If I need to replace a player, I will PM everyone on the replacement list and let them know. The first player to respond gets the slot, should they want it.
1. This is a game. As such, I expect everyone to obey the general rules of sportsmanlike conduct one would expect in any game, which includes following all the rules below. Keep it fun; don't harass me or your fellow players.
2. You may not talk outside of the thread to anyone about anything that goes on in this game. Period. Whether you're dead, or they're dead, whether they're in the game or not. The only exception is if your role specifically allows it.
3. Days will last as long as they need to, within reason. A deadline may be imposed at my discretion, in the event that discussion lags severely.
4. Nights will generally last about three days. They may be longer, or occasionally shorter, at my discretion. You will always be informed of exactly when night will end. Since we're playing with kid gloves, if you fail to submit a night choice to me before night ends, I will randomize your choice.
5. Votes must be in bold, in the form "vote: arimnaes". It would help my bookkeeping greatly if you would unvote before voting for someone else.
6. A majority is always required to lynch. If a deadline is imposed, and no majority is reached prior to it, the day will end with no lynch.
7. You may not, under any circumstances, edit or delete your posts. If you really need to add something to a previous post, the general tactic is to double-post. Try to avoid doing so unless it's necessary, however. (That's more of a forum rule than a mafia rule.)
8. You may not, under any circumstances, quote any game-related PM's. Use caution when paraphrasing them. If you're not sure whether you can post something, just PM me to ask about it.
9. You may not post anything game-related after you die. You are allowed one short "bah" style post, but that's it. Then you're, well, dead.
10. I expect a certain level of participation out of all the players. Please post at least once every two or three days. If you will be unable to post for a longer duration than this, please state so in thread. If it's going to be an incredibly long delay, or you don't think you will be able to participate enough in the future, please request replacement. Unexcused inactivity will result in a "mod prod" for first violation, and replacement after that. If the replacement list is empty, you will be mod-killed, regardless of alignment.
11. Direct correspondence from me may override any of the above rules.
The Town Win Condition: You win when all the scum are dead. The Mafia Win Condition: You win when the mafia equal or outnumber the other players.
For those interested, information about the universe and characters on which this game is based can be found here.
Two senators of the Dark Assembly, in this case a ghost and a dragon, sat at their bench. Or rather, they floated and hunched, respectively. As they watched the Overlord's castle in the distance through the great Senate window, another peal of thunder boomed across the landscape. Several seconds later, a jagged bolt of lightning struck one of the castle's many crooked parapets, causing the entire structure to crumble away and roll into the moat of lava a mile below.
"Bloody hell," whispered the ghost. "It's getting so bad out there that the storm's started defying physics."
The dragon nodded, blowing a plume of smoke from its nostrils. "Mmm..." it growled. "They say King Laharl's been missing for two weeks, now."
"Missing? I heard he'd been chucked out a window. All that's missing is the body, and that's only because the sorry bugger probably hit the lava."
"Mmm..." Another plume of smoke. "Couldn't he just fly?"
"Yeah, well, you know what they say. The Overlord is legendary for having an incredibly small -"
"Set of wings, yes, I know. Bit of a sensitive subject for him, I hear." The dragon flapped its wings once, then settled back down. "So they're picking a new Overlord, then? The remaining twelve vassals?"
"On the record, they're conducting an organized meeting to root out the conspiracy behind the Overlord's death."
"Mmm... and off the record?"
"I'd say we're about to have a pile of bloody bodies and a new Overlord."
The dragon reared up on its haunches and prepared to make its way out of the chamber. As it lifted into the air, it turned its head to address the ghost again. "Do you think we ought to convene an emergency session of the Dark Assembly? We are part of the Netherworld's government, after all."
The ghost chuckled as it began to fade from sight. "Please. We're senators. The Overlord has to bribe us just to get us to show up."
"Mmm. You have a point. Still, I can't help but wonder who's going to emerge victorious."
Despite not having shoulders to speak of, the ghost did its best to convey a shrug. "Who knows? This game has like ten endings."
(Day 1 will begin as soon as all players have confirmed their roles.)
With a heavy slam, the door into the castle's audience chamber slams shut. Here, in a single room illuminated only by torchlight, are gathered the castle's last twelve occupants.
"Let's get down to business," says Callway, the first to speak amid the gloomy atmosphere. "We know that whoever slew the Overlord is in this room."
"Well, it certainly wasn't me." Ace steps forward to speak. "You know, now that I think about it, couldn't we resolve this matter nice and quickly if I just killed the rest of you?"
"Aha!" shouts rumetzen, interrupting Ace and striking a dramatic, accusatory pose. "You're just trying to lull us into a false sense of security!"
"By threatening to kill us...?" mutters lostandthedamned, eyes rolling.
Angry voices begin to fill the room, drowning one another out. Finally, Toastboy shouts over the din. "People, people!" Gradually, the shouting dies down to annoyed grumbling. "There's no Overlord here right now. That means we're going to have to make decisions democratically."
"That's fine with me," says Timlock Smash. "As long as I get to be in charge, of course."
Toastboy facepalms before continuing. "Now, it would be easy for us to try and solve this problem with violence." Toastboy pauses. "So let's do that."
This suggestion finally earns unanimous consent among the group. Let it not be said that the denizens of the Netherworld have weak stomachs.
It is now Day 1. With 12 players alive, it takes 7 to lynch.
I don't want to speak for him, but he did mention this being his first game. He might just want to be getting to the juicy stuff.
Hell, I don't blame him. No-one is posting
No-one who isn't a fan of a team that's only 2 points clear of the relegation zone in the Championship, I think you mean. Vote stands until Norwich City finds a striker.
Hmm... You see truth of his guilt as bandwagoning. What exactly are you hiding?
*Guardman starts watching KeyofDestiny
For what it's worth, posting in the third person can look like you're trying to play this as a flavor game rather than a "game" game. It is precisely the latter. Stop vorthosing or risk becoming the new Seppel.
For what it's worth, posting in the third person can look like you're trying to play this as a flavor game rather than a "game" game. It is precisely the latter. Stop vorthosing or risk becoming the new Seppel.
Alright, then...
I'm watching you KeyofDestiny.
How's that?
Also why is Seppel bad?
And finally flavor is an important part of any game, from tic-tac-toe to D&D.
Jesus, people are jumping on stuff a bit readily.
Flavour is important, sure, but it can just be annoying.
Out of interest, how would you flavour tic-tac-toe?
Tic-Tac-Toe's flavor, albeit light flavor, is in that you have two opposing forces, X and O, in a battle to see who can gain control of a territory (ie. The Board). When you conect three of your groups you have enough strength to completely hold the territory and therefore win.
Also flavor in Mafia is very important. If it wasn't there would be no reason for Disgaea mafia or Vampire Mafia or whatever. I mean also why would you have names for all the jobs such as townie and Mafia, instead of Blue and Red, if it wasn't for flavor reasons. It can be annoying, but that really depends on person to person, and trust when I say it is a lot better to have annoying flavor than no flavor at all.
Finally I talk using * and purple text a lot and you can find me doing it all over thsi site. It is just how I like to communicate my actions. I even do it in real life when I talk to peaple. So unless there is a specific rule against it, I will probably keep on doing it when I feel it is needed, because I like talking to myself in the third person sometimes.
As for the jumping on things readily I just find that the most fun way to play, especially since this is Disgaea mafia, where everyone is a hot-headed, ambitious, lazy, good-for-nothing Demons.
Plus I am keeping my eyes out on all of you, because well, frankly, I don't trust any of you...
I still don't get how that's flavour, you're just describing it in more dramatic terms.
its just a simple game where no-one wins.
How about a nice game of chess?
Eh, maybe that is just me, but that is how I see it. But I tend to put flavor into everything.
Seppel is the devil. He makes scummy justifications based on a mismatch of ego, gaming the mod, and flavor of the game.
Okay, I'll try to avoid becoming that. But right now, seeing this is the first day, the only thing that I have to go off of is flavor on who is who. Well that or random dice rolls.
And finally flavor is an important part of any game, from tic-tac-toe to D&D.
I totally didn't mean to come off as that big of a 'bag in my last post. Seppel is a very bad player of the game of mafia, and I won't link you to any of Seppel's games because I promise, you don't want to read them.
In other news, I don't think tic tac toe has flavor.
Meh, I would just have voted myself. It wouldn't be a big deal right this second.
I think you're the best lead right now. vote Guardman
Random lynch techniques = lack of care for fellow vassals (which is understandable both flavorwise and Day-1-wise, but still) = slightly scummy.
Lack of concern for self = sense of security = scummy, imo.
FOS Emo_Pinata upgraded to my first official VOTE: Emo_Pinata.
Guardman is still confusing, but I'm not sure that it's intentional. If he were intentionally trying to spread chaos and disorder, I'd FOS him, but as is...still the lacklustre FOC.
(Sorry to the forum for the double-post, but I may be afk for a bit, and I didn't want to forget:)
Emo_Pinata: In case you care, you didn't unvote Ace before voting Guardman.
And Guardman actually showed concern for your well-being by pointing out that if you're going to draw lots for your lynchvote, you should take yourself out of the mix...for that you turn on him? Interesting...

Alright, then...
I'm watching you KeyofDestiny.
How's that?
Also why is Seppel bad?
And finally flavor is an important part of any game, from tic-tac-toe to D&D.

Seppel is the devil. He makes scummy justifications based on a mismatch of ego, gaming the mod, and flavor of the game.
Eh, maybe that is just me, but that is how I see it. But I tend to put flavor into everything.
Okay, I'll try to avoid becoming that. But right now, seeing this is the first day, the only thing that I have to go off of is flavor on who is who. Well that or random dice rolls.

In other news, I don't think tic tac toe has flavor.
If Beer Pong and Rock, Paper, Scissors has flavor then Tic-Tac-Toe certainly does.
Really any game involving strategy has flavor involvement.
But now to the serious business. According to my dice roll:
I unvote: Timlock Smash...
and vote: KeyofDestiny!
Away with them I say!
They actually ended the random phase in Battle Royale. I will definately not ever roll to choose a player to vote for again.
Yes that was dumb.
And (I always feel like)
(Somebody's watching me)
And I have no privacy
I didn't know we there was a dice function. How do you do that?

At the time, it was straddling the line between serious and messing around.
