Be familiar with the site-wide rules and guidelines.
Please keep the game civil and avoid personal attacks.
Use of homophobic, racist, sexist, or any other derogatory slurs will not be tolerated. Remember to attack the argument, not the person. Mafia is a game of argument, but the argument should always be about the game content. I will warn you if you do something like this the first time, and subject to my discretion after that I may have you force-replaced or modkilled if necessary.
While this game is running, you may not discuss this game anywhere outside of the game thread unless you have been explicitly allowed to do so.
Do not quote any private communication, including game-related PMs, instant messages, and QuickTopics. Quoting time stamps from any private communication is also forbidden. Paraphrasing is allowed; quoting from public sources is also allowed.
If it is not visible to the naked eye, do not post it. This includes but is not limited to: invisible text, tiny text, encrypted text, and text hidden within tags. For cases of breadcrumbing where you aren't sure if this rule would be violated, please PM me beforehand.
Do not edit or delete your posts.
Do not use
Bolded Blue
. This is MY color. Impersonating the mod is mod killable, depending on my mood.
For minor questions or vote count errors, please bold your concern in the thread and write . For all other issues, PM me.
Exploiting loopholes in the rules or pretending to break the rules will be considered breaking the rules.
Anything that can be interpreted as “flavor” is for entertainment purposes only and has no significance in the game.
Activity
Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 48-hour period. Players who have been prodded have 48 hours to respond in the game thread before a replacement is sought.
Players who have been prodded 3 times are subject to replacement without further notice.
If you anticipate being away for at least 48 hours, please PM me or post a V/LA notice in the thread with the expected date of your return. If it’s in the thread bold it and write @mod.
Days and Nights
Days will have a deadline of two weeks, and Nights will last 72 hours. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances.
Lynches occur through simple majority (50% of living players + 1, rounded down). If no majority is reached at deadline or there is a majority of votes for No Lynch, Day will end without a lynch. Once majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count.
Votes and vote revocations must be bolded (e.g., Vote: PlayerName and Unvote). Unvotes WITH NAME when switching votes are also very helpful for me and are HIGHLY encouraged. (e.g., Unvote: PlayerName, Vote: No Lynch). Use of the vote tags (e.g., VOTE: PlayerName) is HIGHLY encouraged as well.
All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to talk in twilight phase until the thread is locked, at which point Day ends. Dead players
(NEW RULE!) are allowed one "bah!" or completely non-game related post, but after that
may not post until the game has been officially declared over.
Actions not received by deadline will be considered forfeiting an action for that night. Actions may be submitted ahead of time and can be changed as many times as desired; at deadline, the last valid action that was submitted will be used. Actions may be submitted via PM or QuickTopic.
Any situation not covered above will be handled on a case-by-case basis. I reserve the right to add, modify, or remove rules as necessary. I will notify you of any changes in the thread.
Please PM me if you need clarification on anything in the rules.
Remember: Have fun, and play to win the game

Role PM's have been sent. I will unlock the thread when 8/9 have confirmed, or if this timer runs out (expired on 2016-06-17 11:50:32) (whichever happens first).

Game Setup
This game is using the standard Newbie Game setup, Matrix6. One row or one column will be randomly chosen from the table below and the remaining six roles will be filled in by Mafia Goons and Vanilla Townies as appropriate to create a total of 2 Mafia-aligned players and 7 Town-aligned players.
A
B
C
1
Town Jailkeeper
Vanilla Townie
Mafia Goon
2
Mafia Roleblocker
Town Cop
Town Doctor
3
Town 1-Shot Bulletproof
Mafia Goon
Town Tracker
Note:
The Mafia must specify who is performing what Night action when the actions are submitted.
In applicable situations, a Roleblocker's action will resolve before a Jailkeeper's action.
In applicable situations, a Mafia Roleblocker has the option of submitting both roleblocks and kills, even when the Mafia Goon is still alive.
I'd you're not going to dedicate the time a game requires ty play it properly, please do us all a favor and replace out now while there's not much for the player that actually does want to be here will have to catch up on.
Either way, put up or shut up.
If he's not getting a warning for that then replace me out.
Okay, upon rereading I guess the last sentence was kind of personal and uncalled for (I don't really have a problem with the rest of that post, since it's talking about the game). I am going to consult with a list-mod to make sure I handle this situation correctly, but please both of you just play with civility and don't be dicks This is a game and we're all here to have fun!
Role PM's have been sent. I will unlock the thread when 8/9 have confirmed, or if this timer runs out (expired on 2016-06-17 11:50:32) (whichever happens first).
Replacing Smurphinator if he does not confirm via role PM by this deadline.

Harlii is requesting replacement. Extending the deadline 24 hours for now, possibly another 24 depending. Hopefully extending no more than 48 total hours.

As a general note to everyone on the recent arguments: I'm mostly fine with what I've seen, and thanks to those of you who are trying to keep this in the spirit of an instructional Newbie and/or avoiding getting too personal. Also, I have no problem with profanity as long as it's not a personal attack.
Ideally, it is always better to err on the side of civility when you can, as it makes the game more fun for everyone (especially since this is a Newbie), but I understand that this is a game of argument and that sometimes even non-personal attacks can be hurtful and emotionally manipulative.

Looking for a Kaori Miyazono replacement since he hasn't picked up the restarted prod within 3 days. If she happens to post in this thread before I find a replacement, I will stop looking for one.

kraska77 and Kaori Miyazono are being prodded.
NOTE: Things have gotten a little out of hand again lately, but it looks like it's cooled down mostly. Regardless, I would like to offer a second and final warning to those of you who have been using personal attacks; this goes for all players (no pointing fingers, please, let's just keep this game going as smoothly as this game will allow). If you cannot control your heated arguments/play this game without using personal attacks, then you should not be playing on this site, let alone in a Newbie game.
Again, heated, profane, intense arguments are all fine. Personal attacks are not. The line should be pretty clear.
I am waiting to hear back from Mina to see if I should do anything further. In the meantime, please keep the above warning in mind. Thanks, and let's all yell and bitch at each other without personal attacks <3

I have talked to Mina (who talked to some other listmods) and the paraphrased conclusion is this:
"The abusiveness/personal attacks need to stop. Once more, and you're out, period."
"DoctorPepper is additionally getting force-replaced due to his ultimatum/holding the town hostage."
I want to personally apologize, especially to the Newbies, about the certain kinds of posting that have transpired from this game. IMO mafia will not always be fun. It should be fun at least sometimes (otherwise why are you playing this?), but it should never be miserable. Personal attacks and abusive behavior contribute directly to making others feel miserable, and directly defeat the purpose of this awesome game by attacking the person instead of the argument.
This kind of play is not representative of Mafiascum.net. It is really unfortunate for me whenever I have to play in or mod a game where something like this occurs (which is occasionally, not regularly), and the game gets ruined for everyone. For the Newbies out there, if you are debating whether or not to come back for another game on this site, I really hope you do since such play is an anomaly. Normally mafia games are extremely interesting and fun for everyone without people having to be abusive. Again, I am sorry for not stepping in earlier and for any stress it has caused.
Anyway, now that this incident has been resolved (for good, hopefully), let's try to put it in the past and move on with the game, and please keep in mind to attack the argument and NEVER the person, regardless of your experience level

Deadline has been suspended until we can get a DoctorPepper replacement, from which point the deadline will be exactly 50 hours from the replacement's entry.
Also, I'm searching for a Kaori Miyazono replacement again since she has failed to pick up her prod twice. If she does come back to the thread before I find one I'll stop looking for one, like last time.
The deadline may or may not get extended again depending on if Kaori returns...
