IC and SE Guidelines:

The purpose of the IC (Inexperience-Challenged) and SE(Semi-Experienced) players in this game is to help newbies understand how the game is played on mafiascum.net. If you have any questions about abbreviations, etiquette, mafia theory, etc., do not hesitate to ask your IC. Newbie games are meant to be educational. That said, remember the following things:
1. Because roles were assigned randomly, do not assume that your IC or SE players are town. They will provide you good theory-based information regardless of their alignment, but they are no more likely to be town than any other player in the game.
2. There are no stupid questions! If you are unclear about any mafia-related questions ask your IC in thread. The answer to your questions will likely be helpful to everyone in the game.
3. The tells and advice listed in the wiki, though useful, will only get you so far. Your IC and SE should be vastly more helpful than the wiki, as they will always be up-to-date.

RULES:

General:

1)

I am MOD. There is no greater authority than I. I reserve the right to alter these rules if I deem it necessary, including retroactively enforcing new/altered rules. You also have my promise that I will not do so unless it really is necessary.

2)

Do not talk about this game outside of the thread (or your QT, if you have one) in any way, shape, or form.

3)

Do not quote any mod communications originating outside the game thread. You may paraphrase, but be cautious when doing so.

4)

If you are modkilled, you automatically become a Neutral Survivor, and lose the game.

5)

If I screw up, let me know. Post in thread (

@Mod: I voted for Nader, not Bush

) or PM me.

6)

Please try to avoid using

bold

unless you are voting or communicating with me.

7)

All night actions will be resolved with a modified version of Natural Action Resolution.

8)

Purple is my color. Do not use it.

9)

All roles have been given out by Random.org.

Voting/Lynching:

1)

Voting will be done either using the VOTE: tag, or in this format:

vote: Nixon

.

2)

There will be no voting trickery. If something is clearly intended to be a vote for a specific player, I will treat it as such.

3)

A lynch will occur when half-plus-one of living players are voting for the same player. As soon as the hammer vote is cast, the game will enter Twilight.

4)

All living players (including the lynchee) may talk in Twilight, but any voting/unvoting will not count. Twilight will last until I post the final vote count / scene.

5)

Roles will be revealed at death.

6)

Once dead, you are allowed a single ‘bah’ post at the beginning of the next Day Phase.

7)

If there is no majority at deadline, a no-lynch will occur.

Deadlines:

1)

Day phases will have a deadline of 2 weeks from the daybreak scene.

2)

Day phases are extendable in the case of excessive/badly timed replacements and other extenuating circumstances.

3)

Night phases will have a deadline of 3 days from the lynch scene.

4)

Prods will be given if a player has not posted in 48 hours.

5)

A player must respond, in-thread, to a prod within 48 hours, or they will be replaced. If the 48 hours runs into Night Phase, they must PM me within the same time frame.

Don’t Be Stupid:

1)

Don’t use hidden or encrypted text. You may use small text, unless it is hiding game-related or important information.

2)

Play to your win condition.

3)

Don’t attack your fellow players. It’s just a game.

4)

Understand that life throws curveballs sometimes, and players will have to go V/LA. I can certainly relate. Please do not accuse players of using V/LA unfairly.

5)

By the same token, please don’t use V/LA unfairly. If something comes up, that’s fine, but don’t ruin the game for others. Request replacement if you need to.

6)

Have fun. No, really. Have fun.

Setup

This game uses the 2of4 setup, an experimental setup designed to fix balance issues in previous Newbie setups. This is a semi-open setup, meaning that there are several options for what this setup could be, but the options are known to you. I used random.org to determine both setup and role distribution (as every Newbie Mod and most non-newbie Mods do).

The six options for this setup:

1. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 5 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop, Doctor.
2. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 5 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop, Jailkeeper.
3. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 5 Vanilla Townies, Doctor, Jailkeeper.
4. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop.
5. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Jailkeeper.
6. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Doctor.

[Nachomamma8]

Vote: Miltios

Such a shame that you drew scum this round.

[Mitillos]

Hello everyone. Since our esteemed IC has not bothered with an introduction and explanation, I will start the explanations. For additional help, ask Nacho, as he's the appropriate source for information on the game.
This is the RVS (Random Voting Stage), where we vote people for basically arbitrary reasons, to see what reactions we get. For example:

Vote: Nacho

, for messing up my name.
This is also something known as an OMGUS (Oh My God, You Suck) vote, because I voted the person voting me.

[Nachomamma8]

In some secret inner circles, it's also known as Useless (read: scum-motivated, something you should vote as soon you see it).
But I wouldn't have expected our dear Miltios to know that special little nugget

(ps sorry for messing up your name )

[Mitillos]

No, I do know it. But how better for new players to learn the game, than seeing things like this happen?

And don't worry, almost everyone does. Call me Mit, for simplicity.

[MP5]

I suppose it would also be good to share how much experience we have playing mafia, how about the rest of you?

I've played about 5 RL games (where I first learned the game), and this will be my 3rd forum game - halfway through my 2nd at the moment on another site. My first game here of course.

What tags do we use to bold so I can vote?

Ok, now the quick reply has become a larger reply box, so I can

vote abc

For having a ridiculous name. What on earth is abc meant to represent?

[Mitillos]

The tags for bolding are [ b ] bold text here [ /b ], no spaces in the boxes.
The tags for voting are [ vote ] name of player here [ /vote ], again, no spaces in the boxes.

You can also click reply, instead of doing a quick reply, to get a box with all available tags as easy-to-use buttons.

[MisterGrey]

Well, technically I've only played one or two games of Mafia, but I've got quite an extensive history with Doubt.

[OriginalTrousers]

Feeling quite proud to be in game 1300. Wonder if there'll be any extra special flavour? I've played a couple of forum games, though they were years ago and I never was much good.

Vote: MisterGrey

for preventing me from referring to Grey-And-River as "Grey".

[MisterGrey]

Voting for

Trousers

because he could just call him River.

[OriginalTrousers]

Seeing as nothing much has been posted yet, I'll glean what I can from the few things people have said.
Mit: Helpful stuff for newbies. Bit of random voting. Bit of banter with the IC.
MP5: Bit of experience-related talk, bit of random voting, bit of forum mechanics. Nothing wrong with that on page one.
Mister: Not much of a contribution yet, but then again who has?
Myself: Actually quite scummy when I consider that post objectively. Not only is it just as useless as most of the other page one posts, that claim about having played mafia before but denial of being any good at it would be a perfect excuse for scum playing scummily. Not sure what it means when my best scum read so far is myself. Hm.
Nacho: Always be suspicious of the IC, apparently. Therefore I am a bit suspicious of you.
Hopefully things will begin to pick up so we can begin gathering information.

Oh, and MisterGrey?
You just made post #13.

Oh noes.

[MisterGrey]

Aaand that post lost all its periods and now makes no grammatical sense. That's what I get for posting on a phone.

[Mitillos]

Post editing is impossible in the games. The reason for this is so that people can't change what they said. Say someone makes a slip that shows them as scum and then edits his post to get rid of it. This would be bad, so all editing is done by using additional posts.

Who is scum?

[Mitillos]

No idea, as yet.

[MP5]

Looks like mine might be a wasted vote if abc doesn't show, so I'll change

VOTE: shuriken

Because there can only be one weapon in this game.

[Mitillos]

@MP5: It's not a wasted vote. Even if abc doesn't show up, eventually he will be replaced by someone. A player slot will not be eliminated due to inactivity. Feel free to move your vote around as you wish, though.
