this is mostly just my standard ruleset; a few specific changes have been italicized. please read the whole thing, but please also take special note of the italicized portions, which are especially important.


game rules
  1. site rules:

  2. obey all site rules. you can read the site rules here.
  3. do not discuss the game in any capacity outside of this game thread unless your role gives you explicit permission to do so. if you are allowed to do so, I will provide you with a private topic where you can do so.
  4. do not harass other players in this game. while a certain level of confrontation and argumentation is typical in Mafia games, do not bring personal vendettas or outside influences into the game. additionally, do not harm or threaten to harm any person.

    game conduct:

  5. play to win the game. there is a chance that you will lose the game, but do your best to avoid that, and do not deliberately throw the game.
    keep in mind that winning this game is a matter of demonstrating over the course of several games that you deserve to win, which is completely subjective, so in theory this one is impossible to fail at! alright!

  6. do not use the color #8C0000.
  7. do not use any sort of cryptography, hidden text, or other similar methods to hide information in the game thread unless your role explicitly states that you may do so. if you are unsure of what is not allowed, PM me for clarification.
  8. do not quote information from private threads or from the moderator in the game thread.
  9. if you have access to a private thread, assume that that is the only place where you may communicate privately with the other people in that thread unless your role explicitly says otherwise.
  10. I might amend or change some of these rules on a game by game basis, which will be clearly announced at the beginning of each game. for example, there could be a game where exclusively using the color #8C0000 is mandatory. what fun!


    joining the game, leaving the game, and activity:

  11. at the beginning of each game, you will receive a role PM. please confirm by telling me your alignment and any players whose alignment you know, along with a brief summary of any non-vanilla abilities you have.
    there aren't any non-vanilla abilities in this game, but do you think I'm gonna delete words? hell no

  12. the manner in which roles are distributed might change from game to game. for example, I might choose to distribute roles randomly, or I might choose to ask a third party to assign roles to you. I will clearly announce the manner in which roles are being assigned at the beginning of each game.

  13. if you will be away from the site for a set period of time, please post in the thread letting the other players know this and PM me, and update the "Vacation / Limited Access" info in the User Control Panel. if you are regularly V/LA at certain times (such as during the weekend), you only need to do this once.
  14. if you do not post for the duration of a game day (24 hours), I will prod you; failure to respond to prods or needing to be prodded repeatedly throughout the game might result in a replacement. there is no specific threshold for this, but I will let you know if I think this will become an issue.
  15. if you need to be replaced for any reason, you may message me with information to be passed on to the player who replaces you. this isn't mandatory, but if there's strategic advice you'd like to offer to whomever replaces you, you can do this.

    gameplay:

  16. living players may vote to lynch living players by writing
    vote: player
    or VOTE: player in the game thread. you may also vote for no lynch.
  17. once the majority of living players are voting to lynch a player, that player will die.
  18. if you have died, please do not post in the thread anymore. you are not officially considered dead until I announce your death in the game thread.
  19. each day will have a deadline of 24 hours.
    this number is subject to change on a game by game basis, especially if the players request a longer or shorter game.

  20. sample role PMs for both factions are included at the bottom of this post.

    moderator responsibilities:

  21. I will not edit your posts unless your post breaks the rules in such a way that information needs to be removed from it or quotes a post that does that, or you ask me to edit it to fix a broken tag. I will provide a brief explanation of the edit and, in cases of fixing broken tags, will end the post with a spoiler containing the complete original text of the post.
  22. if you have a pronoun listed on your account, I will use that to refer to you. otherwise, I will default to referring to you as "they"/"them". if you do not have a pronoun listed on your account but wish for me to refer to you using some other pronoun, message me to let me know.
  23. I will do my best to keep the game running as smoothly as possible, but there will be times when I'm not around. I will do my best to post a votecount every day, and potentially more frequently than that if a substantial number of new posts have been made.
  24. I reserve the right to modify these rules at any time if necessary.
    ohohoho


    the most important, most fundamental rules of all:

  25. remember the Midnight Amendments:
    1. be cool.
    2. c’mon.
    3. nice.
  26. thanks for vibing and keeping it tight. if you need me, I'm on my mobile.

as long as you are alive, during the day, you can vote and post in the game thread.

win condition: you win when all members of the mafia are dead, or when nothing can prevent this.

for game 1, roles will be distributed in the following partially random manner: I have pre-selected 2 numbers
n
and
m
such that either
n
+1=
m
or
m
+1=
n
. I will generate 2 6-sided die rolls in this post and add them to
n
and
m
respectively, then take the resulting number mod 6 and give the mafia roles to the two players corresponding to those numbers on the player list in the opening post.

I'm waiting on a confirmation from a player who has read their role PM but has not responded to it. if this is you, I'm sending you a reminder to do so momentarily.

votecount 1.1.16 players not voting (Aristophanes, Jake The Wolfie, Allomancer, Eve, RedFlavor, Equinox)

mod notes:
welcome to game one, day one! so first, note that I'm notating votecounts as x.y.z, where x is the game number, y is the day number, and z is the votecount number. this is a little different than formatting I've used in the past since this one features an indeterminate number of subgames.

while this game will use very rapid deadlines, as noted in the rules, I'm flexible if you'd like to slow down the clock a bit.

also, I'll be a bit more conversational than usual; while I won't commentate on the game uninvited, feel free to ask me any questions you have about anything. I want this one to feel like the forum equivalent of playing Mafia on the back of the bus in high school on the way to a competition, if that makes sense, so maintaining the "pretend like I'm not reading the game" vibe doesn't really make sense for this one.

also, deadline is 24 hours from when this post goes through, but the countdown tag is a big hassle, and this one is nightless anyway, so, y'know, I'm not gonna get worked up about the specifics.

votecount 1.1.22 votes for Allomancer (Jake The Wolfie, RedFlavor)
1 vote for Equinox (Allomancer)

3 players not voting (Aristophanes, Eve, Equinox)

mod notes:
forgot to explicitly clarify what happens at deadline in the rules because I'm a fool, so here's what's up: the day will end, resetting the votecount. the game is nightless, so it will just become day 2, but after 3 days without any deaths, the game will be a draw. (yes, this means that days are technically equivalent to 72 hours, but you have to successfully all vote in a 24 hour period._

votecount 1.1.34 votes for Allomancer (Jake The Wolfie, RedFlavor, Equinox, Aristophanes)
1 vote for Equinox (Allomancer)

1 player not voting (Eve)

mod notes:
my apologies for the lack of a votecount and end of day yesterday -- it was my roommate's birthday, and it was also my "get all my groceries for the week, oh god, try not to forget anything" day,
and
I DMed what was supposed to be a 2-hour D&D one-shot that turned into 4 hours due to the aforementioned birthday, so between everything going on I just didn't get the chance to head on over here.


Allomancer has died and was a townie.


votecount 1.2.15 players not voting (Eve, Jake The Wolfie, RedFlavor, Equinox, Aristophanes)

mod notes:
anyway, I'll do my best from here on out to be more conscientious keeping this thing going; sorry about the hiccup there.

votecount 1.2.23 votes for Aristophanes (RedFlavor, Jake The Wolfie, Equinox)
1 vote for RedFlavor (Aristophanes)

1 player not voting (Eve)

mod notes:


Aristophanes died and was a townie.

Equinox and Jake The Wolfie win! the numbers I chose were 3 and 4, and by coincidence 3 and 4 were the dice results, so by default the roles had to go to 6 and 8 (which reduces to 2 mod 6).

for game 2, roles will be distributed in a similar manner to game 1, except the numbers were chosen by my IRL D&D group, and I didn't tell them what the numbers were for.

also, I'm not going to lock the thread during the phase between games. please don't discuss the game here, though, and confirm via PM as normal.

here's an interesting fact: my last two posts in this thread were made from my phone. it is somewhat hard to post votecounts from my phone, and it keeps suggesting emojis to me, which is disappointing to me as a person who wants to use emojis on this website.

I take pride in making sure that when someone votes and then unvotes that their name gets moved to the end of the list, since they're now the person who is most recently not voting.

mod notes:
Equinox what are you gonna do for your 9999th post. you're at 9997 right now


Aristophanes died and was a townie.

RedFlavor and Equinox win!

game 3 will have roles distributed in a manner similar to game 1, except that
m
and
n
are two prime numbers such that
m
=
n
+ 2, also known as twin primes. you can view a list of the first 100000 sets of twin primes here, though it is not guaranteed to be one from this list.

y'all this isn't related to the game but guess what: my D&D campaign ended today on its 54th session (the last one was really session 52 part 2 and this one was the epilogue because of Reasons, listen, it's important to get the numbering for your campaign accurate). wow. one of the characters got married and some magic nonsense happened. it was a good time.

you all failed to settle on anyone within three days, which means game 3 ends in a draw! this despite the fact that this one had an easy breaking strategy -- any pair of twin primes (such as 14234567 and 14234569, the ones I selected) can only be odd numbers, which means with the dice rolls both being odd, the town could've had an easy guaranteed win! dang

anyway, for game 4,
each of you must submit an image in the thread (either found or created) that evokes or represents the word "lovers". I will select two of you based on your images to be the mafia members.

still waiting on a confirmation. here's some oblique, useless answers to your questions...

1. I am scum because as the moderator I am incentivized by death. I'm basically an SK.
2. I picked two players in this game whose images were in some way connected or perhaps not connected to the theme.
3. the two images were of nonidentical levels of humanness, but it's possible they were secretly very, very close.
4. aren't all images abstract? see the painting "The Treachery of Images" for further details on this answer.

we have successfully reached "several" and could stop at any point. but tell you what: I'm gonna keep going on perpetually until there's at least one town win.


Jake, that's a terrific question!

hey y'all, sorry I've been absent the last couple days—it's been a rough couple ones for mental health reasons. what I'm going to do, since there hasn't been a single 24 hour period with 4 votes on the same person, is treat this day as if no time has passed—in other words, the 24 hour deadline begins with this post. that seems like the fairest option since I haven't been here to keep track of prods and whatnot. ending the day when I haven't really been here for it feels arbitrary and unfair to everyone.

that's another game ended with no lynch—hopefully the next one will have a more satisfying conclusion! we'll be shifting to the longer deadlines for this one.

the lovers in this one were Eve and Aristophanes. they picked images that seemed to portray lovers! for the next game, please submit an image that expresses the idea of "haters".

folks, it's another mafia win— Allomancer and Jake took this one home.

the plan for game 6 is this: I am going to ask a person on the site to pick two players who have not been mafia together yet to pick a pair. I am waiting on a couple people who I've asked to help out to get back to me, so it might be a bit of time on that one, but hopefully not too long. and since I implied I'd do something like this for one of these, this one will come with the restriction that everyone must post exclusively using the color #8C0000.

hello. please remember to drink milk


Allomancer died and was a mafia lover. Aristophanes, a mafia lover, has also died. town wins!


I announced a bit ago that the game wouldn't end until the town won at least one game, and, well, the town won, which means that game 7 will be the final game! for this one, I'll select the mafia in the following manner: each person, please publicly announce a player who you would like to be a scum partner with. the resulting scum pairing may or may not have something to do with the choices you make.

also, you can stop using #8C0000 now, but if anyone suggests a dumb posting restriction I will make that mandatory.

not
represented by someone's choice. in other words, the worst was either choosing between the 4 you all selected or the 11 you all did not select.

the winner(s) of the game are........

Spoiler:
Klick!

Klick wins on the basis of replacing in and immediately hammering and getting the first town win. that's the sort of thing that gets you a win!

I considered a few different criteria for selecting an additional winner -- not being on town wagons as town, not getting killed as town, etc. -- but no one stood out as exceptionally ahead of the rest in any of the categories I looked at. I'd rather just have one player who qualifies as a winner than a bunch of them, you know?

I also thought about declaring the worst and caledfwitch winners, but I decided not to do that! sorry to the worst and caledfwitch for this grave insult
