Spoiler: Rules

- I reserve the right to alter any rule in the game including any of the rules found in this document.
- If I makes a mistake on a vote count, please address it in thread in bold.
- PM me with other concerns.
- Do not post blue, or shades similar, as I will be utilizing it.
- Do nothing that could be considered as impersonating the moderator.
- Please do not post anything that looks like a flip.
- Do not contact any player in or outside of the game about the game unless specifically allowed to by the moderator. When allowed, only do so in the specific manner allowed.

- Do not screen capture your role PM, or manufacture it in any way which would make it surely real.

- Each player gets a single vote to use during the day that they may change as many times as they wish to vote for any player which must be in bold
- Players may vote for "No Lynch." If at least half of the players vote for a "No Lynch," the day ends without a lynch.
- If at the end of the day, no one has reached a vote number equal to (1/2) + 1 of the remaining playerlist, then the day will end in a no lynch.
- Once the lynch threshold has been reached, no more votes will count, however everyone including the lynched player may still talk until I lock the thread.

- Do not discuss this game anywhere else with anyone else.
- Claiming to be scum with someone else will result in a modkill.

Aronis,

Mafia Dolphin

, lynched Day 1.

Flubbernugget, Dolphin has performed a flip.

It is now Night 1. Please submit any Night actions you may have. Day 2 will begin in 48 hours on January 13th at 12:30 PM PST or in (expired on 2015-01-13 12:30:00)

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

I'd also like to add that I will probably be starting Day 2 sooner than the deadline if I receive the night actions + the majority of players left in the game want to start D2 early. If you do, then let me know through PM that you would like to start D2 early.

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

Flubbernugget,

Town Dolphin

, killed Night 1.

Game analysis:

Balance wise, I think it was reasonably fair but the obvious, biggest change I'd make is that the dolphins be told that they are vanilla townies and the first they'll know they are dolphins is when they flip. I think it would create a more interesting dynamic and the surprise factor would probably have been fun as well.

Gameplay wise, town played great. Town lynched two scum in nine pages which impressed me and it makes me feel like with all the large themes with humongous amount of spam, short and concise, readable days are what's best for town.

As far as the players go, Not_Mafia and Tiershift had the scum figured out by page 2 or 3 I think which was a huge blow to the scumteam and I feel they weren't able to do much to turn things around. I was amused at Starbuck's Tier vote on D2 since I thought he was obvtown but overall, town came together really well so nice job and well done. And thanks for playing.

Would like comments on setup, modding, and ideas for tweaks and whether you would be interested in playing variations of this setup sometime in the future.
