#1: Don't edit your posts. Don't edit your posts. Don't edit your posts. Do not expect leniency as far as this rule goes. #2: Don't quote any PM from any player, especially me. You will be modkilled and recommended for probation. #3: Don't discuss this game (or any other active game) with anyone except myself and anyone delineated in your role PM.
#4: Don't lurk to excess. RL comes for everyone. It's understandable. Just keep me updated on what your situation is. If you anticipate being able to continue in the game, I will work with you, and if you don't think it will be possible, I'll look for a replacement. But if you simply drop out of the game without any communication, that will likely have an adverse effect on your chances of getting into my games in future.
#5: The Forum Rules apply in this game and in all games. Mafia is a game of high tension due to the levels of suspicion and paranoia involved, and I know from personal experience the effect it can have on some players. Be sure to keep your behavior within the guidelines stated, however. Flaming will not be tolerated. #6: Lynching will require a simple majority of votes. Once the lynch threshold has been reached, nothing can prevent that lynch. Twilight posting is allowed (that is, you can post during the period of time after the lynch threshold is achieved but before I have posted the lynch scene.) Please bold your votes and unvotes. Votes made without unvoting first will not count, period. Unvoting is an important habit to pick up and a basic game is a good place to get into that habit. #7: Deadlines are set at the start of each day. Barring exceptional circumstances, those deadlines are immutable and will not be changed. If the deadline is reached without achieving a lynch, the day will end in No Lynch. The deadline remains static - votes made after it has passed will not count even if I have not made it to the thread yet. #8: Once you die, you are dead. Do not post, period. This includes "bah" posts. This rule is in bold because it's important. #9: Night actions must be in by the deadline. The deadline remains static - choices made after it has passed will not count even if I have not started the day yet. If you do not plan to use your night action, please inform me, as day will start once all choices are in. #10: There will never be a Jester in any game I host, and roles in my basic games will not involve lying to the players. There are no millers, godfathers, insane cops, quack doctors, or any other such roles in this game. #11: After you have requested replacement or after the moderator has announced he is seeking a replacement for you - whichever comes first - your time in the game has ended. Do not post any further.
Guidelines:
1. Trust your instincts. Your first read is usually the correct one.
2. Mafia is all about empirical evidence. Believe what you see.
3. If you're frustrated, talk to me. Don't lash out or just stop posting. If you need to be replaced, go for it, but that should be the last option to consider.

-Karl Heinrich Marx Cube
SCENE: A boy's bedroom in New Rochelle. Posters of Buddy Holly and At Carnegie Hall adorn the walls. Discover YOUNG DON MCLEAN lying on his back on his bed, listening to the music emerging from the RADIO.
RADIO: "I love you, Peggy Sue, with a love so rare and true
oh-oh, Peggy - my Peggy Sue.
Well, I love you gal and I want you, Peggy Sue.
Oh well, I love you gal and I want you, Peggy Sue."
...
"Peggy Sue", by Buddy Holly. The hits just keep on coming here on WWBA, 102.9, New Rochelle's home for hoppin' and boppin'. Next up we've got Berry, Presley, and Little Ricky for your listening enjoyment, so don't touch that dial! This one's "Johnny B. Goode" by none other than your friend and mine, Chuck Berry:
... "Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens,
There stood a log cabin made of earth 'n' wood--"
MOM: (from off-set): Don! Do-o-on!
MCLEAN (yelling): What?
MOM: Dinner's ready! Come on down!
MCLEAN: All right!
RADIO: "--strumming with the rhythms that that the drivers made.
People passing by, they would stop and say,
'Oh my, but that little country boy could play.'
Go, go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go, Johnny--"
MOM: Don! Dinner!
MCLEAN: O.K. already, Mom!
MCLEAN shuts the radio off and gets up to go downstairs, then faces the audience.
MCLEAN (singing quietly): "A long, long time ago...
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance, I could make those people dance.
And maybe they'd be happy...for a while..."
MOM: DON!
MCLEAN: Coming, Mom!
He exits.
NARRATOR: It was late 1958 and America was on a hot streak that had lasted ten years. Everyone was happy, everyone was healthy, pretty much everyone was wealthy. There were jobs, there was love, there was great music. But everyone - even little Don, thirteen years old - knew it couldn't last. Youth always struggles to be free. History goes through cycles of booms and busts. Nothing great lasts forever. The perfect sanctity of 50's Americana was headed for a shock to the system - and it might not survive. Deep-lying forces were at work in the next decade, clashing ideologies, the yearning of a people whose personal freedoms had finally taken priority over their desire for order - and they effected astonishing transformations in American society.
You are those forces. This is American Pie Mafia. And Day One has begun.
With 12 alive, it's 7 to lynch.
Deadline is set for Thursday, June 3rd, 10:00am EST.
EDIT: vezok, sorry if that's unclear. "Bah" posts are not allowed. Don't say anything at all once you die.
@Vez, no, bah posts seem to not be allowed at all. It doesn't specify, but I'm assuming it means a mod-kill will occur if you do post after death. This is speculation, but meh. I wouldn't risk it.
Oh, and Vote: VibeBox for disappearing and changing his name.
Nice to see you back, and excited to play with you.
Yeah,
Oh, and [B]Vote: VibeBox[/B] for disappearing and changing his name.
Nice to see you back, and excited to play with you.
Sorry, but you'll have to remind me who you are. I tried to cheat and look at your old posts, but it only returned thing from this year for some reason, and I haven't been around in some time.
Also, [b]Vote: TeknoLink for calling the kettle black.

Btw, I'm a Texan, and I'm proud of it. I'm a libertarian or a Ron Paul Republican as it may be known as in your part of the country. I don't fit very many Texan stereotypes, or many stereotypes at all for that matter.

mh why do you propose a soft claim ? you did that in highlander mafia too.
i dont know how a soft claim will help the town.
scum with obivous scum names will not say their real name.
town pr will be easier to be identified

I'm not proposing that we claim names. Soft claims can entail many things.
I'm proposing this soft-claim for two reasons:
(1) To promote discussion, as this is the only way the random stage will end.
(2) To lock scum into some information that may bite them in the ass at a later date.
Soft-claims rarely harm the town and sometimes help the town, in my experience, so your paranoia at a soft-claim is noted. FoS Vez
ok now i dont understand.
what do you to claim for if not the name?
my name is a something from the things you listed.
and im still trying to understand the flavor so what do you want us to claim?

Well, you've already claimed yours. You are a thing. That's what I was proposing, a "person, place, or thing" claim.
Early claims usually help the scum even soft. I don`t see how it could be beneficial to the town. FoS: MandersHex Unvote
How many games have you played in? Because I've been in several and I've never seen a soft-claim help scum more than town. In fact, I've been in a game where a D1 mass claim helped the town tremendously. (See Joss Whedon mafia for the reference, or just ask Kraj. He was in it, too)
