Rules: (borrowed and modified from Jackal711 who borrowed/modified from chkflip)

1. This game uses the Newbie 2of4 setup.

2. To vote for a player, bold the word "vote" followed by said player's name, e.g.
Vote: Edosurist
. As long as I can tell to whom you are referring, spelling does not count and I will accept abbreviated or otherwise shortened forms of the name of the vote's recipient. If you change your mind about whom you want lynched, you must bold an unvote, preferably in the format
Unvote: Edosurist
. You may also
Vote: No Lynch
, and
Unvote: No Lynch
. Use of the VOTE: and UNVOTE: tags is also allowed, and preferred.

3. A majority of votes is required for a lynch, even at deadline. Once a lynch has been decided, it is final and further votes and unvotes do not count for the current day. If deadline is reached with no player having enough votes for a lynch, the day ends in an automatic No Lynch.

4. Once you're lynched, nightkilled, or modkilled (a modkill ends the day ONLY if the modkilled player is pro-town), I'll allow one "bah" post that doesn't contain any game-related content if you wish to make it, but you must thereafter stop posting in the game. Said "bah" post is the only post a dead player may make during twilight. Living players may continue to talk during twilight as long as they follow all of the rules.

5. You are not forced to like each other, but the fact that you badly want so and so offed does not give you the right to insult him or her. Please keep your hatred of people or groups thereof to yourself unless you want a warning. Three warnings (or an offensive enough post) and you will be ejected from the game and replaced with someone else.

6. Do not hide text or otherwise hinder its readability by using spoiler tags, invisible text, etc. THIS INCLUDES ENCRYPTED TEXT! You may, however, post in any color that can be easily read against the forum background other than
this reddish-orange thing
. This is my mod color. Violators will be warned. Doing it again will result in replacement.

7. Impersonating the moderator WILL NOT HAPPEN. Doing so, you will be replaced.

8. If you somehow have the ability to edit or delete your posts in this forum, please DO NOT do so. If I catch you doing such, you will be replaced or modkilled.

9. You are not allowed to discuss this game outside of the thread unless I tell you otherwise, and then only with whom I have allowed you to do so and at your specified time. This is a modkillable offense.

10. Discussing an ongoing game in this game's thread gets you a warning the first time and a MODKILL the second time.

11. Do not quote or pretend to quote any private communication, either from me or from anyone else you are allowed to talk with at night. This includes your role PM. Violators will be modkilled. You are allowed to paraphrase, but you are not allowed to plagiarize. If in doubt as to your paraphrase's legality, PM me with the wording you want to use.

12. Claiming to be scum with someone else will result in a modkill.

13. I will issue a prod to any player that does not post for 72 hours without notifying me of his or her absence. If you are prodded, you will have 24 hours from the time of submission to post in thread. Failure to do so may result in replacement. I will only prod the same player twice. If a third prod is required, they will be replaced.

14. I am not God (or a Lawyer). I am only human and prone to making mistakes like any of us. If I do make a mistake please bring it to my attention either via PM or in thread. If addressing me in thread please do so in bold
@Mod: (message)


15. All rules are subject to change. If there are changes I will point them out in the next posted vote count.

16. All lynches and actions are considered to be done instaneously. Obviously I can't be on all the time, so they will be posted as soon as possible. Night actions are considered to all happen at the same time. The principles of NAR (Natural Action Resolution) as discussed in the Wiki will apply in any conflict.

17. Deadlines will be 3 weeks for Days, and 72 hours for Night.

18. If anyone gets modkilled, they will turn into a Neutral Survivor for all purposes and will lose the game. Day will also end immediately if they were town-aligned.

19. The most important rule of all, saved for last for what I think is a very good reason: HAVE FUN! Enjoy! And good luck!

The 2of4 setup prevents the development of game-breaking strategies. The actual game setup is randomly chosen as detailed below:
  • 1
    mafia role cop
  • 1
    mafia goon
  • 5
    townies
  • 2 of the following with no duplicates possible:
    • 1
      town cop
    • 1
      town doctor
    • 1
      town jailkeeper
    • 1
      townie
Keep the following in mind:
  1. The role cop has the option of submitting both investigations and kills, even when the goon is still alive.
  2. Mafia must specify who is performing what Night action when the actions are submitted!
Below are all of the possible role PMs:
Mafia Goon wrote:
You are the Mafia Goon, along with PlayerX, who is a Mafia Rolecop.

During the night, both of you may talk amongst yourself here to devise your strategy for the next day. You may also talk prior to the beginning of the day, but all talk must cease once the day begins and until the next night comes.
You may only talk to each other during the pre-game and at night.


You both also have the ability to kill one player during the night.
You must designate who will do the night-kill


You win when once the mafia makes up 50% of living players, or when nothing is able to prevent that from happening.

If you have read and understood your role, please confirm by return PM stating your role.
Mafia Rolecop wrote:

You may only talk to each other during the pre-game and at night.


You may also investigate another player each night to determine their role (whether they are a vanilla townie, doctor, cop, or jailkeeper)

You both also have the ability to kill one player during the night.
You must designate who will do the night-kill


You win when once the mafia makes up 50% of living players, or when nothing is able to prevent that from happening.

If you have read and understood your role, please confirm by return PM stating your role.
Vanilla Townie wrote:
You are just a regular townsperson. (aka Vanilla Townie)

Though you have no special abilities, you do have the ability to vote for one person each day. Use it wisely.

You win when all the mafia have been eliminated from the game.

If you have read and understood your role, please confirm by return PM stating your role.
Town Cop wrote:
You are the town cop, sent via the local law enforcement.

Every night you may investigate a player, and will receive notification as to whether or not they are town (aka "Not Guilty") or scum (aka "Guilty")

If your ability is blocked by the Jailkeeper, you will not receive any result.

You win when all the mafia have been eliminated from the game.

If you have read and understood your role, please confirm by return PM stating your role.
Town Doctor wrote:
You are the town doctor, able to protect others from harm.

Each night, you may choose someone who you will protect from the night-kill. this ONLY protects from the night-kill, and nothing else.
You can not target yourself.

If your ability is blocked by the jailkeeper, you will not be notified as to whether or not it has suceeded.

You win when all the mafia have been eliminated from the game.

If you have read and understood your role, please confirm by return PM stating your role.
Town Jailkeeper wrote:
You are the jailkeeper for the town, in charge of the local prisons.

Each night you may choose someone to keep in jail. This action will prevent any actions from being done to them, but will also prevent them from doing any actions.
You can not target yourself.

You win when all the mafia have been eliminated from the game.

If you have read and understood your role, please confirm by return PM stating your role.

@Mod why Orange? it is extremely difficult to read on my screen...



Hello Everyone. I am your friendly neighborhood IC. What that means is in addition to my game role which is randomly generated, I am here to help you with game mechanics and other questions of how to play the game. Feel free to ask me questions. You can get a good idea of the role of IC from here Being a good IC. Some things I may have to give a partial answer for because of the game being ongoing. If that happens, I will let you know why, and let you know that I will explain more fully after the game is over.

A few basics:

RVS (Random Voting Stage) and RQS (Random Questioning Stage)
are often used to get the game rolling. You will find that some people prefer one or the other, but both seem to get discussion going which is very important to the game. Especially for townies a lot of solid discussion helps make it easier to catch scum and figure out who the other townies are.

Lurking and Lying
. Lurking is not by itself a scum tell, however it is detrimental to town and it is much better to be active and asking questions, making reads, pushing on people, than to sit back in the sidelines. It is more fun too. Lying, especially in newbie games with the open 2 of 4 setup is very antitown. It can end up getting you lynched if you are a PR, or end up resulting in a CC if you are fake claiming. Just best to play your role as best as you can and not lie.

If you run someone up to L-1
(meaning only needing one more to lynch), then the next person to vote should state INTENT TO HAMMER and give the person being lynched a chance to respond. This way if it turns out to be a mislynch, the town at least has the information it needs from the player.

NL or No Lynch
is only an optimal play on certain circumstances in a game this size. Especially on D 1 it is better to have a mislynch than a NL. You still get information that is valuable in helping determine the scum.

Ok that is the basics for now will let you know if anything else comes up along the way, and most of all HAVE FUN :)

Don't like orange? Too bad, cuz I do. Plus, until now, you've only seen it in odd numbered posts, which have a lighter background.

But, if anyone finds that it hinders their gameplay,
I will be willing to switch to something more appealing

Regarding the orange text even though it is my favourite colour it's a bit difficult on the eyes here. Is there a darker shade available?

It's a shameless sheeping of the person I am forever buddying. Not sure if that counts as RVS or not? It didn't have any actual reasoning, no.

Hello everyone! Looking forward to playing with you.

VOTE: Archetype

Sounds too much like Arch Enemy, the archetype of someone I want lynched.

I have decided not to trust the IC for now. Her criticism on the chosen color betrays a certain animosity towards the moderator, because she's unhappy with the role that has been given to her.
Now I just need to find out if she generally prefers to be scum or townie. Any of the SE's have any insights on that?

@ Grim good try but definitely WIFOM (Wine In Front of Me) which comes from the Princess Bride movie scene..

However you are wrong... I am 70% blind and the original color blended too much into the Sepia background, I have been told it does ok on the default blue background.

The newer color has more contrast. When I mod I use bold blue text, so yeah nothing to do with my feelings for the mod, who actually L like ♥

Depends on what you mean by "serious".
All in all, I'd have to say no, because I'm aware that the roles are randomly generated, aware that RachMarie knows this, and aware that there's no reason to be annoyed with the moderator because you received a certain role.
But I did mean it to be taken seriously, in order to get some kind of a reaction from RachMarie. The color discussion just seemed like a good starting point for some random questioning.

I don't really understand the WIFOM comment. I've read about the concept before, but don't fully see how it applies here.

Nah, never played with Rach so I can't help you there. The only person I'm familiar with on this player list is Candillian, who I found very easy to read as town.
