Regular game rules (Stolen Borrowed from Silvercrys):
Boring Stuff:
0: I am the game host, which means I am the final arbiter of role interactions and game rule infringements. I will never lie or intentionally mislead you. If you have a problem with a ruling I make please shelve it until post game. To the best of my and my reviewer(s)’ knowledge this is not a bastard game.
1: Mafia is a game, we’re here to have fun. Please be respectful of your fellow players. Sometimes emotions run high and we get caught up in the moment. That is not an excuse for flaming or poor sportsmanship.
2: When generating (or faking, as applicable) reads, please do not use angleshooting or out of game knowledge to the best of your ability. This means do not use the timing, reasons, or order of substitutions and modkills to influence others, do not use the timing or phrasing of role PMs to influence others, do not make alignment bets with out of game consequences, do not speculate on reason for replacement, and do not use “trust tells” or similar. This list is not exhaustive.
3: If you have a question about your role or a rules interaction, please PM me or message me on Discord. I will not answer questions posed to me in the game thread other than questions about vote counts or deadlines. If you raise a question that needs addressing to the entire game (regarding a special rule or similar) I will anonymize your question and announce the answer.
4: Do not talk about this game outside of this thread and quicktopic links or PMs given to you in your role PM or approved by me. Please ensure I am copied on PMs sent to other players. This is a modkillable offense.
5: No funny business. Do not use invisible text, cryptography, tiny writing, hidden messages, acronym/alphabet claims, or similar. This is a modkillable offense.
6: Do not directly quote your role PM or any private communications (QuickTopics, etc.) when posting in the main game thread. This includes mason chats and scum chats. Please paraphrase - if you are in doubt, ask me before posting! This is a modkillable offense.
7: Do not edit, delete, or thank posts. Even if it’s an accidental double post. This is a modkillable offense.
8: Please post content at least once every 48 hours. Content is, of course, subjective, but “Posting to avoid prod,” “catching up,” or similar short not-really-game-related posts are obviously not content. If you need to be absent for an extended period of time please post “V/LA until [Date]” in bold on its own line in the thread so that I and the other players know when you’ll be back. You do not need to explain your reasons for being absent in thread. If you will be gone for more than four or five days you should consider requesting replacement.
9: You are responsible for following all forum and subforum rules and guidelines. Forum-wide rules are available here, and our subforum specific Mafia rules are in the Mafia Hosting Sign-Ups & Hosting Rules thread (spoilered here for convenience):
-Game Limit-
Players may participate in only three games at any given time. An exception to this rule can be made by moderators in need of a replacement for a game, if no other replacement can be found.
-Suicide-
If you no longer wish to participate in a game for any reason, contact the moderator. Do NOT attempt to force the moderator to modkill you.
-Current Game Discussion-
A player in an ongoing game may not discuss that game with any other player in that game, or in public forums. Also, it is a good idea to ask permission before discussing the game with anyone outside the game, because they can no longer replace into the game once any meaningful discussion takes place.
-Cryptoclaims-
Unless explicitly authorized by the game moderator in their opening rules section, cryptoclaims are forbidden.
-Out-of-game Promises-
Players may not use out-of-game promises (example: I swear on my grandmother's life, I bet you my entire collection of magic cards, etc.) in an effort to influence other players.
-Multiple Players On One Account-
"Hydra" accounts - multiple people playing and posting as one player with shared access to the "gimmick" account, are not allowed unless they have prior approval from the specific game Moderator. Please do not do this on your own.
-Traitor/Alignment Switching Roles-
Game moderators are strongly encouraged to be extraordinarily careful if they seek to include a traitor role in their designs. These roles are notorious for causing games to implode, for creating fairness concerns, and for the challenge they pose to the town's behavioral analysis. (See Discussion in Council Thread, Post 3351, onwards.)
Please note that bold red text is permitted by non-moderators in this subforum for town/scum lists, game host actions, and similar. Just don’t use it excessively.
TL;DR: Be excellent to each other, post something substantial every 48 hours, ask me questions in private when possible, don’t edit or delete posts unless your role explicitly allows it, no funny business involving cryptography, etc. and... have fun, that’s the whole point. Deadlines:
All day phases will have a deadline equal to 14 days. Night phases will last for as close to 72 hours as I can manage, but the deadline for night actions will be 71 hours so I can open the thread promptly when Day begins.
I will post the deadline and approximate time remaining until the deadline at start of day and when I post official vote counts. I will PM players with unsubmitted night actions 24 hours before the action deadline as a reminder. Lynching:
Players will be lynched once a simple majority of votes for that player is achieved (i.e. Majority lynch).
There will likely be some amount of time (twilight) between the final lynch vote and the lynch scene. Players may post during twilight.
If a majority lynch is not achieved by the deadline, no lynch will occur. Order of Operations:
The short version is, stuff works the way you probably expect it to work. If you have a question about a specific interaction, PM me and I will explain in general terms how it would resolve. Other Role Stuff:
You cannot self-target unless your role PM specifies otherwise.
[Active] abilities must be manually activated each time you wish to use them (i.e. you need to PM me, preferably with the intended activation in bold). These abilities can be tracked, roleblocked, and redirected unless otherwise specified.
[Passive] abilities are always active and cannot be tracked, roleblocked or redirected.
Active abilities with a limited number of shots will expend a shot when activated even if they fail to resolve. Passive abilities with a limited number of shots will automatically expend shots when used.
Killing a player does not prevent them from using night actions or being targeted by other night actions.
The Mafia Factional Night Kill is an [Active] ability and can be tracked, roleblocked, redirected, etc.
There is a limit of one night action per player per night. The Mafia Factional Night Kill does not count towards this limit.
Voting:
I will NOT be using Ecophagy’s vote counter to total your votes. However, in the interest of site wide voting consistency, I ask that the following voting rules still be adhered to.
Creating vote counts will be trivial for me (and you!) with this tool, however it places some restrictions on the ways you can vote.
The current voting rules are:
Make sure your votes are bolded. Please keep nicknames reasonable.
Unvotes must stand alone (instead of using "unvote: player X", simply use “unvote”).
A player cannot vote and then afterwards unvote in the same post (the program looks for unvotes before votes).
Do not use extraneous punctuation in your vote. A single “:” after the word “vote” is permissible but not required.
You must have a space between the word "vote" and the name of the player you wish to vote. If you use a colon, the space must appear after the colon. Ex.: [b.]Vote shadowlancerx[./b] or [b.]Vote: shadowlancerx[./b]
You cannot use italics or colors when voting unless you make the bold tags the innermost tags. Ex: [color.=blue][b.]Vote: shadowlancerx[./b][./color]
I do encourage you to color your votes though
Do not put extra spaces between your vote and the bold tags. This kills the vote.
If your vote was not counted, simply vote again. “Incorrect” vote counts will not be altered unless I determine they were uncounted due to an error in the program.
If you accidentally break quote tags that contain someone else's vote, your vote will be changed by the machine and you will need to revote.
In general, if you vote using the player’s full name and only type “[b.]vote playername[./b]” (without the periods) your vote will be counted.
You can generate your own vote counts by downloading the tool here. Note that the “nicknames” field is a comma delineated list that will work incorrectly if you use spaces after the commas. Victory Conditions:
The Town wins when all threats to their team are eliminated.
The Mafia wins if they ever have the same number of living players as the town, or if nothing can prevent that from happening.
A tepid silence fills the air, and then, all at once the air rustles and the 16 chosen materialize into existence. They glance around at the surroundings, then at each other; who among them is friend? Who is foe?
And all at once, chaos breaks out! Weapons are drawn, strength is gathered, and you have entered the fray!

You know what you did.
You have failed me for the last time, D_V.
Vote D_V.
Is DV that easy to read in general, or for you specifically?

Vote Vaimes
God are scum tells really going to be gifted to me this early?
tom likes to flatter me a lot for some reason.
Part that, part I haven't also played for a few months, fit both
Has this really never come up in any of your past mafia games?
Well, Vaimes, I just finished reading barebones mafia so...if you're taking pocket applications...:love:
*blushes, and strides off, cape billowing ominously*
The GJ way path to no lynching:
You misspelled "Gentleman Johnny"
The GJ way path to no lynching:
When wolves try to be buddy towards a town player, in order to get that town player to town read them.
You haven't changed a bit huh.
The GJ way path to no lynching:
Not under that term
Or when I started using it, really. Why are mafia players suddenly hitting on me.
What's new?
It's common on MU. Don't humor him too much.
As to the hitting on you part, did you Iso a game or something?
The GJ way path to no lynching:
Started teaching, and became a baseball coach for freshmen. How about you?
The GJ way path to no lynching:
They're not you're mafia stop acting.
Baseball is fun.
I haven't made any major adjustments or improvements to my life.
What is "Iso'ing a game"? I'm town!
But I promised to tone down the LAMIST posting.
Let me know if you want to talk about something else, though.
What do you mean don’t humor me too much?
And what is MU? What does any of this ***** mean holy crap maybe I’m in over my head has the game passed me by 😂
Mafia Universe, and honestly, not sure what I meant. Playing dota on the side of mafia typing.
