So, yes, I locked all nine of you in this room. Two of you have been given orders to silently kill the rest. For the rest of you, you must kill them before they get to you.
The Moderator has the final say in any dispute. Refusal to accept these decisions may be considered a modkillable offense depending on the severity. Although the Moderator may be the official voice, the Moderator is not infallible. If there is a mistake or you have a question, do not hesitate to inform the Moderator through private message or through the use of bold text within the thread.
Dark-Red
and
Indigo
are the Moderator's colors. Do NOT use them. Doing so is considered impersonating the Moderator and is a punishable offense.
Any and all communication with the Moderator must remain strictly confidential. It is acceptable to paraphrase, for actions such as role claims. If in doubt whether your paraphrase is acceptable, ask the Moderator and assume it is unacceptable until confirmed otherwise.
The use of timestamps in any way is considered quoting Moderator communication and therefore is prohibited. The order in which Role PM's have been sent has been randomized to directly combat this.
Any personal communication outside of the game thread, unless clearly specified in your role PM, is
strictly prohibited.
Do not post the links to any QuickTopics that may or may not be available within the game. Doing so is considered a modkillable offense.
Claiming to be scum, or someone's scumbuddy, is against any and all win conditions and therefore is prohibited.
The use of invisible, small, or encrypted text is prohibited. Use your judgment, if it is unreadable by the Moderator, it is unacceptable.
Using loopholes in the rules is considered against the spirit of the game and is a punishable offense. This does not refer to special game mechanics, merely the general gameplay rules. Example is faking a vote to trap players.
Anything it is illegal to do is also illegal to fake.
Modkills will be done in a fashion deemed most detrimental to your faction. Your faction will then be converted to
Neutral Survivor
, and as such are autolossed.
Voting, Deadlines, Death, and Activity:
As a general guideline, players should aim to post at least once every day (the more the better).
If you anticipate an extended leave from the game, inform the Moderator either in thread or through a private message.
Players who go for more than
72
hours will be prodded. If you are prodded and do not respond within
24
hours, you will be replaced.
Players receiving more than
3
prods throughout the game's entirety will be force-replaced. Replacements reset the prod counter.
Newbie Games are run with a fixed 3 week deadline. Deadlines will be posted publicly along with each votecount.
Votes must be bolded or they will not be counted. (ex.
Vote: PlayerName
).
Unvotes must also be bolded or will not be counted (ex.
Unvote
or
Unvote: PlayerName
). Unvotes are appreciated but not required.
Shortening of usernames or the use of nicknames is acceptable in votes, but will only be counted if the Moderator can clearly distinguish which player you are voting for.
It requires a majority of the currently available votes for a Lynch to occur. Majority is equal to half of the available votes plus one rounded down.
If players so choose, they may vote for No Lynch, and No Lynch will be reached if at least 50% of the currently available votes are placed on No Lynch.
Once the majority required for a Lynch is reached, votes are locked in place and cannot be rescinded. The same policy applies to No Lynches as well. Discussion during twilight, the period of time before the mod scene is posted, is acceptable.
If at deadline there is no majority, No Lynch will occur. If there is a tie at deadline, No Lynch will occur.
As soon as the Moderator posts your death scene, you are considered removed from the game. You are allowed one content-less "bah." post following your death. It is acceptable for the Lynchee to post during twilight before their lynch scene is posted.
Play to win, but remember this is a game. It is understandable to be aggressive, yet personal attacks will not be tolerated. Be considerate of the other players within the game, and hopefully enjoy it yourself!
The F11 setup is the current standard for Newbie Games. To prevent the development of breaking strategies, the setup is selected randomly from four variants:
If at any point a Mafia Roleblocker is the sole member of the Mafia team, they may choose to both roleblock and submit the factional kill during a night phase.
The following are all the available roles that may be present within the game:
. Together you have prepared yourselves to take over this town, and its time to set the plan in motion.
During the day, try and blend into the rest of the Town, attempting to get someone lynched.
During the NIGHT phase ONLY, you may discuss with your partner in this quicktopic and choose another player in the town to kill that night.
To submit your factional kill one of you must send a PM to the Moderator detailing the player you wish to kill.
You may only communicate outside of the Game Thread in the provided QuickTopic. You may talk in the QuickTopic during the confirmation stage [before the Moderator declares that Day 1 has started] but must cease communication during the day.
Mafia Win Condition:
You win when the number of Mafia equals or exceeds the number of remaining Town players, whether you survive to the end or not.
[Standard Factional Win Condition.]
Reply by PM to confirm you understand your role and win condition.

The Mafia Roleblocker has the ability to block any player throughout the night, effectively negating their night ability, if they have one.
To use your roleblocking ability you should send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to block (It can be in conjunction with the kill). If they have a Night action, it will have no effect. You will not be informed as to whether the roleblock worked or not.
