Newbie Setup

Newbie Setup

NewD3 (as designed by RadiantCowbells):

	A	B	C

Row 2	Town Jailkeeper and Town Tracker	Town Jailkeeper and Town Friendly Neighbor	Town Jailkeeper and Vanilla Townie
Row 3	Town Mason and Town Mason	Town Tracker and Town Doctor	Town Mason and Town Mason

Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates one mafia role from the top of a column, and then two town roles from a row below the selected mafia role. The remaining six roles will be filled in by

one mafia goon

and

five vanilla townies

appropriately, to create a

2-mafia

and

7-town

setup.

All Newbie games use the Natural Action Resolution system for determining Night action effects.

Mafia Roleblocker

action takes precedence over a

Town Jailkeeper

action should that apply.

Mafia are able to communicate in their Private Topic at all times.

Introduction and Tips

Thanks to Irrelephant11 and others for their contributions to these tips.

Here are some helpful links (a lot of them from our helpful wiki):

-> Forum Rules and Guidelines
-> The Glossary
-> Commonly Used Abbreviations
-> The Newbie Guide
-> Articles on How to Play Well (be sure to check the dates these were written/updated, as good advice changes over time)

Key Concepts and Tips

Activity

Try to check in at least once a day.

Besides the activity requirements listed in the moderator's original post, it's just necessary for a fun and healthy game that everyone

plays

. If you post very rarely, or only post a little bit at a time, you may get scumread for lurking. Even if you are not scumread for it, what's the fun in playing a game where multiple people are hardly participating?

Site Meta

Meta is the description of how people on Mafiascum like to play mafia. Things can be different on other online mafia sites, or if you play IRL, so it's good to know what's expected of you on this site. These aren't "rules", per se, but if you don't follow these guidelines it is likely things will go poorly for you on MS. Some examples are...

Random Voting Stage (RVS)

Games on MafiaScum almost always begin with what we call the Random Voting Stage (RVS). At this point in the game, we are in a low information game state (except the mafia, which know everyone’s alignment). As a way to provoke reaction, start a discussion, and try to determine alignment, people will usually vote for non-serious reasons. As the discussion progresses, we will eventually get the game moving and progress out of RVS.

Voting, E-x, and Hammers

E-x is a way to convey how far away a player is away from elimination. For example, you should always announce that you are putting someone at E-1 (1 vote away from an elimination) so that someone doesn’t come along and accidentally vote for that player's elimination. This also prevents Mafia-aligned players from coming along and placing the final vote to eliminate (“hammer”) and claiming ignorance about doing so. You may also see E-2 and E-3 (2 votes away from elimination and 3 votes away from elimination, respectively).

Before you hammer a player, state your intent to hammer (usually done in bold) and ask the player to claim their role. This is done to prevent power roles from being eliminated, and can sometimes get Mafia-aligned players to be caught (via counter claiming). It's best to then allow other players to react and discuss the claim before hammering.

Claiming Your Role

It is almost always best to not claim your role unless you are at E-1 and have been asked to claim as part of an “intent to hammer.” This is because, as a town power role (“PR”), if you out prematurely, you are likely to be night-killed (“NK’d”). As a Vanilla Townie (“VT”), claiming early helps the mafia team narrow down the setup and possible PR candidates. An exception to this would be if a mafia player claimed your role, claiming early to counter the false claim (“CC”) would out the mafia player, and would be a benefit to the town.

Do not fake claim a power role as town!

While it may help you avoid getting eliminated, you might cause a real PR to out themselves by counterclaiming - then the mafia will know who the PR is, and you will probably get eliminated for lying to town. Feel free to fake a claim as scum, though, if you think it would help.

ELo

ELo is the shortened representation of “Eliminate or Lose.” ELo in the Newbie Queue is when there are 3 remaining players, 2 of which are town and 1 is mafia; or when there are 5 remaining players, 3 of which are town and 2 are mafia. It is important in these situations that the town aligned players do not carelessly vote like is done during RVS or early days, as the mafia player(s) can organize and instantly provide the necessary votes to eliminate (“quickhammer”) and win the game.

Conclusion

Mafia is hard!

As town, it can be hard to figure things out, and stressful when people think you're scum.

That's okay!

Just share your thoughts on who you think is scum as they come to you, and don't be afraid to change your mind. As scum, it can be hard to lie convincingly, and stressful when people think you're scum. Don't let that scare you! Try to think of what you would post if you were town, and don't be afraid to "change your mind".

This is a game.

Have fun!

Rules

1. Obey all MafiaScum site rules and rules that are common to all mafia games. If you are unclear on what this means, see the site rules. I will not bother to list here any rules that are covered there.
2. My color is

orange

! (#FF8000). Please do not use it.
3. Please use bold or vote tags for votes to help me find them. The golden rule on this is, if I think it's a vote, then it's a vote. Attempting to fuddle with this will piss me off and result in replacement.
4. Please do not ask me questions in the thread. Use PMs. However, it's OK to point out any vote tabulation mistakes I make in-thread.
5. Prod timer is

36 hours

without posting. If you do not respond or post within

24 hours

of a prod I will search for a replacement. I may also search for a replacement if you chronically require prodding. A player who returns before I find a replacement is welcome so long as the replacement was for activity.
6. If you know you may not be able to post for a period of time, please inform me via PM or post in this thread as to how long you expect to be unavailable.
7. Claiming scum with another player in a manner that could be taken as serious is not allowed.
8. Day Deadlines in this game are

10 days

long for day 1, all days beyond day 1 are

7 days

.
9. Eliminations in this game require a simple majority (50% rounded down plus one) of votes. If deadline is reached without any player getting enough votes, there will be no elimination and we will proceed to Night.
10. When a player is eliminated, they (as well as other living players) may continue to post until I lock the thread.
11. Once I declare you dead and flip you, you can no longer post.
12. Night phases last

48 hours

.
13. Submit night actions to me via PM, or in your scum PT if you are scum. Scum players may submit actions for each other; if there is a disagreement about the use of powers other than the factional kill, the player whose ability it is wins.
14. I can provide a personal PT for you to take notes in if you wish. Just PM me. I will not release notes PTs without your permission. Please don't submit any night actions there as I will probably not read them.
15. Don't try to exploit any loopholes in these rules.
16. Play to your win condition.
17. Have fun!

I'm sorry, that was my alter ego iamveryshouty.
Good morning, I'm town.
If you don't know me, I should introduce myself.
My username is iamveryhappy, iavh or happy for short.
How I got my username: a ironical statement of how I feel
I have a total of 0 losses on this site. I am so good.
This is also because they are not finished.
Now for some of my playstyle introduction.
I either play really aggressively or very passively, no in between.
The playstyle changes really quickly.
How people say I play: Any one of towny town, towny scum, scummy town, scummy scum.
I am a CM. It stands for contradiction master.
I hate walls of text because they are hard to read.
I buckle under pressure.
Shitposting is one of my specialities.
I think this is all I have to say.
VOTE: mewtaph
A slot I have never interacted with. This ends now.

More information because why not
I play mafia on a kindle. Do not complain to me about a phone..
Active slot: 19:30-22:30 GMT*. Also active at random times. Note that your active and my active is not the same.
Please read mafia games like how you do your English exams. Follow a PEEL structure when you do your arguments. Point, Explain, Evidence, Link. I am exempt from that because I don't really care about English.
*Subject to change. I will not take any responsibility for that.
