#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.
#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.

Update:
11 players have confirmed. Due to a forum error, Zaccormon didn't properly receive his role PM. He's confirmed he intends to play in the game. Now I'm just waiting for him to confirm receipt of his proper role PM. Once he does, the game will begin immediately.
Zaccormon hasn't been active on the site since sending me that PM letting me know his situation. I'm sure the next time he logs in, he'll confirm. I'm ok with starting the game without him and setting him a deadline of Thursday, August 20th, 12:01 am by which he must confirm or be replaced.
After the conclusion of Hell's Kitchen Season Five, ratings were so high that the show's producers decided to make an encore episode that was to air between seasons. Bringing back some of the viewers' favorite faces from seasons two, three, four and five, this special episode was meant to be a cook-off between some of the chefs that made it, and some of those that didn't. Successful chefs would have the chance to prove their progress wasn't just a fluke; failures would have the chance to redeem themselves. It all went well, at first. There was even some friendly banter as chefs from the various seasons recognized their old friends and rivals and made new ones. But it wasn't to last.
It was early the next morning when the sous chefs of Hell's Kitchen, Scott and Mary Ann, woke the contestants. Hardly a surprise - there's at least one early morning wake-up every season. But somehow, Scott and Mary Ann seemed different. There was none of the taunting, none of the cruelty, that Ramsay's minions generally display when tormenting the contestants. Their faces were blank and pallid. "Get up," Scott said, his voice devoid of any of his usual snarl. "Chef needs to see you all downstairs, now." The contestants dressed in dead silence, a feeling of apprehension palpable in both dorms, before following the sous chefs downstairs.
They were greeted with a horrifying sight. Chef Gordon Ramsay stood over the body of Hell's Kitchen's maitre d', Jean-Phillipe, an affable and friendly man. A large butcher's knife has been forcefully plunged into his back. "Good morning," the Chef said, and his voice was weary. He sounded not as though he's been up all night, but as though he'd never slept in his life. There was no response from the contestants, most of whom were white as sheets. "As you can see, an awful crime has been perpetrated here," Ramsay continues. "Jean-Phillipe was a dear friend, and now he's dead. And I found this." He holds up a sheet of paper with letters from restauranteur magazines cut-and-pasted onto it. "THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING, RAMSAY." it says. "WE'VE COME BACK TO TAKE OVER HELL'S KITCHEN, AND ANYONE WHO STANDS IN OUR WAY WILL END UP LIKE J-P."
This is Jean-Phillipe's Role PM. It is also the sample townie PM. All town win conditions are worded exactly the same as J-P's:
Quote from Jean-Phillipe »
You were JEAN-PHILLIPE, Townie Maitre d'. You were Chef Ramsay's long-standing friend and confidante, not to mention the maitre d' of Hell's Kitchen and the master of all things dining room. But you've become the first victim of the treacherous plot to overthrow the Chef, and now all you can do is hope to be avenged.
Win condition: Eliminate the traitors in Hell's Kitchen.
"It's evident what we must do," the Chef says. "All of you are gathered here now, and not one of you will leave until we've rooted out the traitors who have committed this crime and are planning to seize Hell's Kitchen. This isn't a game any more - that much should be clear, yes? Now, discuss amongst yourselves who you think the traitors are, and nominate one of them for...elimination."
The assembled chefs looked at one another - some with fear, some with suspicion, some with calm and scrutinizing gazes. Everyone's a suspect now, and this competition has just heated up.
Day One of Hell's Kitchen Mafia has begun. With 12 alive, it's 7 to lynch.
Your deadline is set for Wednesday, September 30th, 12:01 am.
Media is not making me steal. But in a way is like the story of the very hot girl with the short skirt teasing the old sick guy with a history of rape.

Keeper has died day one of his first 2 games, it would be the scummiest thing ever to not kill him day 1 again.
Vote KeeperofZion
Well, in at least one of those (don't know about the other) he came up town, so I wouldn't be toooo quick to kill the guy
Speaking of past games though: Zaccorman, it's generally not a good idea to let everybody know you're the doctor unless you're about to get lynched (Basic #6).

Me: "Galadrial"? That cat's name should totally be Quumulox the Devastator.
Friend: Send in a request.
Me: These people don't understand. Cute things need violent and big-sounding names. Like, "Hey, have you seen my cat, Rakshor of the Blood-Pit Tribe?" Turns out the cat's, like, a five-week old kitten that makes everyone that sees it give the cliche "Aaaaaaaawww!" and a huge smile.
Friend: I think that would be a little too epic for regular folks.
Me: **** those *******. I want a kitten named Rakshor of the Blood-Pit Tribe. ****, I want a Blood-Pit Tribe of cats. They'd need other tribes to make cat-war with. Like, a next-door neighbor that's a crazy cat lady. She can have the Complete-******* Tribe.
Thanks for the welcome, Magic Gnome. I was delayed because it seems that my role PM was. . . distorted the first time around. I couldn't access it (I still have 1 "Unread" message.) and it says it's from 1969. . .

I made this account before faeries were a major deck (ie before Lorwyn), so it's supposed to be poking fun at how Teferi is pronounced (I always thought it was pronounced like "Geoffry" before Time Spiral).
I do love blue, but admittingly, I've never played against Teferi or faeries. I do find it a little suspicious that someone named "Shadow of Nevinrryal" is saying my name is evil incarnate....

Hey everyone, it's my first game of Mafia. Hell's Kitchen is one of my favorites, so I'm very excited to play
Zindabad, great job with the opening scene! Ramsay's dialogue was spot on
lol, vote Frenger so that I can claim his avatar for myself when he's dead. It's only right..
