Game mechanics

Day

• Days begin with a deadline of
  72 hours
  .
  
• Days will end when one of the following events occurs:
  • The deadline is reached.
    
  • A lynch (or no-lynch) is achieved.
    
  • A town-aligned player is modkilled.
• Votes should be made via the vote tag: “[vote]<playername>[/vote]” or “[v]<playername>[/v]”. Full player names or initial segments thereof are preferred.
  
• When more than half of living players are voting for the same player, that player will be lynched and the day will end. Votes are irrevocable once a majority is achieved.
  
• You may vote not to lynch by voting for “No lynch”. When half or more of living players do so, the day will end without a lynch.
  
• If the day reaches deadline without a majority, there will be no lynch.
  
• I will interpret malformed votes according to my own discretion. In general, if it looks like a vote, I will probably count it as a vote. I reserve the right to edit malformed votes for easier counting.
  
• When a majority vote has been achieved but not yet recognized by the moderator, the game is in
  twilight
  . Players, including the lynchee, may continue to post during this period.
  
• Under certain circumstances I may elect to extend the deadline. I will announce in thread if this occurs.

Night

• Nights will last
  24 hours
  , or until all living players give me their approval to end the night early.
  
• During the night, you should be unable to post in the public game thread. If for some reason you are able, doing so is still against the rules.
  
• The mafia kill should be submitted in the Mafia's private thread. If no kill is submitted, then no kill will occur.

---

Activity requirements

• Players who do not confirm within
  24 hours
  of receiving their role PM will be replaced.
  
• Players who do not post for
  24 hours
  in a single game-day will incur a prod.
  
• Players who do not post for
  12 hours
  following a prod will be replaced.
  
• Players who incur three prods will be replaced.
  
• At my discretion, excessive “prod-dodging” may result in a mod warning and subsequently in disregard of future dodges.
  
• If for any reason you are temporarily unable to meet these requirements, you may declare V/LA status
  in thread
  and be excused. V/LA declarations must include a definite end date.
  
• Notwithstanding V/LA status, any player who does not post at all for
  3 days
  of consecutive day time will be replaced.
  
• These are minimal requirements, not recommendations; please keep the game active.

Setup Information

This game uses the Noughts and Crosses Mafia setup, designed by Empking.

Roles

2x

Mafia Goon

1x

Innocent Child

6x

Townie

Mechanics

• Mafia have daytalk.
  
• Each player occupies a position on a publicly viewable Noughts and Crosses (Tic-Tac-Toe) board. The Innocent Child occupies the central square.
  
• Whenever a player is lynched, this puts a cross (X) on their square; whenever a player is killed at night, this puts a nought (O) on their square.
  
• Town wins if all Mafia are dead
  or
  the board has three crosses in a row; Mafia wins if they control half the votes
  or
  the board has three noughts in a row.
  
• If two win conditions occur at once, the game board will take precedence. E.g., Town wins by placing a third cross in a row even if they lose majority by doing so.

Seeking a replacement for Kanna. (I have a few folks in the replace-in queue for this game, so it may be a day or so before the slot is advertised in the Replacement Requests thread.)

[Umlaut]

if the replacement search goes on for longer than ~12+ hours, can we get a deadline pause at that point?

I'm not going to make promises about it now, but a deadline freeze at some point is an option I'm considering.

[Umlaut]

Cat Scratch Fever replaces Kanna.

This game was pretty much over as soon as Dunnstral was lynched, but I hope you all still had fun playing it! Props to Blair for trying every angle she could think of before throwing in the towel.

[Umlaut]

Shoot guys, I was going to argue hard against a CSF lynch. Threw in the towel too soon!

In case this isn't clear: it wouldn't have mattered, town had a forced win by tic-tac-toe after scum killed Blair (and a much more obvious forced win if they didn't).

[Umlaut]

If you had actually talked the town into lynching the IC and instantly losing the game by doing so, that would have been worth a scummy nom.
