Rules

(stole from borkjerfkin who adapted them from Quadz08)

General

1. Site-wide rules, as always, apply here.
   
2. I reserve the right to change any of the following rules at any time. I will also inform the players in thread and via PM in the unlikely scenario in which this is required.
   
3. This list is not necessarily all-inclusive. If you're unsure whether or not something is allowed, please PM me about it.
   
4. Disregarding the rules may result in consequences up to and including modkill and/or force-replacement.
   
5. If you need to talk to me in thread,
   please use bold.
   Additionally, feel free to PM me with any questions you might have.
   
6. DO NOT TALK ABOUT OTHER ONGOING GAMES IN THIS GAME.
   I've been seeing this happen in a lot of games recently. Don't do it -- it can ruin not only this game for others, but also other games. I won't be lenient about this rule in particular.
   
7. Please do not use hidden or encrypted text.
   
8. Play to win.
   
9. Please treat your fellow players with respect. At the same time, please try not to take comments personally whenever possible.
   
10. Please allow for your fellow players to go V/LA.
    
11. Please keep me in the loop about your own V/LA status.
    
12. My color is scarlet. Avoid using it, or face Remilia's wrath :>
    
    
13. Have Fun!

Gameplay

1. The following vote formats are the de-facto standard on the site (aka votes should be enclosed with vote tags or bold tags. I don't care about caps/spelling/etc.)
   
   • VOTE: pieguyn
     
   • Vote: pieguyn
   
   
2. Unvotes are
   not
   required.
   
3. If it appears to be a vote for a player, I will treat it as a vote for a player. Please don't attempt to fool me or other players with regard to fake votes. Do not put votes in spoiler tags.
   
4. A lynch is achieved when half plus one of the current number of living players are voting for the same player. If this does not occur by deadline, a No Lynch will occur -- there is no plurality lynch in this game.
   
5. Twilight is the time between the 'hammer' vote being cast and the beginning of the night phase. All living players, including the most recent lynchee, may talk during this time.
   
6. Players' alignments will be revealed on death.
   
7. When killed, a player may make one informationless 'bah' post at the beginning of the next day phase and must be silent thereon until the conclusion of the game.
   
8. Please submit all night actions either via
   tags in your private topic if you have one, or by PM if you do not.
   
9. If you have a night action and do not submit one, you will not take an action. I will not resolve your action on a random person.
   
10. Role distribution is guaranteed to be random, determined with the aid of random.org

Setup:

Matrix6 (as designed by Cogito Ergo Sum):

	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

Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates either one row or one column. The remaining six roles will be filled in by mafia goons and vanilla townies appropriately, to create a 2-mafia and 7-town setup. For example Row 1 (1 jailkeeper, 1 vanilla townie, 1 mafia goon) would add an additional 5 vanilla townies and 1 mafia goon, for a total setup of 1 jailkeeper, 6 vanilla townies, and 2 mafia goons.

*The Mafia Roleblocker is allowed to both submit the nightkill and perform his Roleblocker action. In addition, the Roleblocker is stated to resolve before the Jailkeeper.
*The Bulletproof Townie's bulletproof cannot be roleblocked, as it is a reflexive action.

***The Mafia team may converse with one another in the Mafia PT during day phases as well as night phases; this is a new addition to the rules.

Role PMs are going out now! Please confirm via PM stating your alignment, and that you understand your role. The game will start when 7/9 players have confirmed.

Confirmed: 7/9

[pieguyn]

You enter, drink in hand, and sit down. The room is dimly lit, with a single, bright light shining squarely on the center of the table.

A fresh deck of cards is opened, and initially shuffled by sliding all the cards around the table, face-down, as if being washed. After about a minute, the cards are gathered again, shuffled normally, cut, and dealt. The variant you are playing is Texas Hold 'em. You pick up the corners of your two cards, such that the suits and values are visible, and set them down again.

A few small pots are won; nothing too unusual. Then, after a few cycles of raising and reraising, a bigger pot is won; flush, which the winner made on the river after the Queen of Clubs showed up, over three of a kind.

After the cards are picked up, you notice a fairly visible black smudge on the back of the Queen of Clubs.

"This wasn't there when I drew it the last hand, was it?", you think to yourself.

It is now Day 1. With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch. Deadline is October 18, 3:30 GMT-7 or in (expired on 2015-10-18 03:30:00). Those who have not confirmed have 24 hours as of this post to do so.

I'm your IC this game. I'll answer any questions you have, but the best way to learn this game is by playing.

[T S O]

Right now we're in the RVS stage, where we vote randomly vote each other in a joking manner.

This game may just end up being newbie hell.

[makara]

It begins!

VOTE: Nosferatu

[Kim]

Hi, everybody!

This game may just end up being newbie hell.

Combine that quote with the fact that every SE in every game I've ever played has been scum and my RVS choice is clear.

VOTE: Espeonage

Afternoon all,

Hello again Panth
VOTE: PantherPunt

[makara]

Question for everybody:

How much mafia experience do you all have?

This is my second game here. I play some irl mafia and I used to play lots of Town of Salem.

[Kim]

Second game here -- first game was 1642. No other experience.

[Espeonage]

Let's go with lots.

[0verfl0w]

Hi! This is my first game here, so sorry if I ask anything stupid. I've never played a mafia forum game, though I have played Town of Salem and irl mafia.

[Espeonage]

top tip, grab an avvie, makes it easier to identify your posts on the fly.

[0verfl0w]

I did, but it isn't showing up.

[makara]

It's probably not within the size constraints.

[0verfl0w]

Yep, you were right. Thanks!

[T S O]

Let's go with lots.

[Nosferatu]

VOTE: kim, cause mazes are mazes.
