It's shark week, and you're super excited! This is your favorite time of year, every year, but you usually get spooked while watching hours and hours of sharks devouring things, alone in your house. You only take showers for months -- no baths, no way! -- let alone dipping your little toesies into a pool or, God forbid, an ocean. It's worth it, though --
it's motherfucking shark week
. This year, though, you want to share the excitement with people who appreciate it, not alone or with your lame-o friends who send you, crying, to the bathroom because they just can't comprehend the true glory of SHARK WEEK! You respond to an ad on Craigslist inviting shark enthusiasts to a lake cabin remote enough to be undisturbed, but with a special assurance that it has satellite television for your shark-viewing pleasure. Your mom says to pack your mace, and your little brother says it sounds sketch, but you don't care. This week, you're going to be with the people who
get you.

Spoiler: Replacement List
1.
If we are in need of a replacement, the slot will open up to these players first, in order. If all of these players decline, then the slot will be open to the public.
Personal attacks will not be tolerated. Use of homophobic, racist, sexist, or any other derogatory slurs falls under this rule. Keep it civil.
Play to your win condition.
Unless otherwise specified in your role PM or by me, you may not communicate outside of this thread while the game is running.
Do not quote or post any screen captures of any private communication to which you have access. This includes game-related PMs, QuickTopics, and instant messaging logs. Paraphrasing is okay.
If it is not visible to the naked eye, do not post it. This includes, but is not limited to: invisible text, tiny text, encrypted text, and text hidden within tags. Spoiler text, however, is allowed, as long as it is used within reason.
If you have the ability to edit your posts, don't use it in my game.
Regular and boldface
dark purple
-colored text are reserved for the moderator. All other formatting is fair game with the provision that you do not impersonate me or post in hidden text, as covered in another rule.
Activity
Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 48-hour period. Players who have been prodded have 24 hours to respond
in the game thread
before a replacement is sought.
Players who have been prodded 3 times are subject to replacement without further notice. After three prods, replacements will happen upon my discretion. Prod timers re-set with each new game Day.
Posting content is an absolute must. If a player posts nothing but prod dodges for an entire game Day, he or she will be subject to replacement upon my discretion.
If you anticipate being away for at least 48 hours, please PM me AND post a V/LA notice in the thread with the expected date of your return.
Pre-Game
During Pre-Game you will receive a PM with the choices for your role. Choose within 48 hours. If you have not responded within 24 hours, you will receive a prod.
Players that have chosen a role will be bolded on the player list. When all players have chosen, I will determine if the set-up is viable, as explained in the set-up details.
If the set-up is viable, you will all receive your role PMs and the game will begin.
If the set-up is not viable, I will re-roll and you will have 24 hours to choose a new role. Repeat ad nauseum until a viable set-up is found.
Day
Days will have a fixed deadline of 14 real-time days. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances.
Players may vote to No Lynch; a no lynch will occur if a majority of players vote for no lynch or if no majority is achieved by deadline.
Lynch is achieved by simple majority.
Once majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count.
Votes should be on a separate line and flushed left, and MUST be bolded (e.g.,
Vote: Amrun
). The same applies to vote revocations (e.g.,
Unvote
). Unvotes are preferred but not necessary when switching votes (e.g.,
Unvote, Vote: Amrun
). Use of the vote tags (e.g., VOTE: Amrun) is optional. Abbreviations are okay as long as it's clear for whom the vote is made.
If I think it's a vote, it is a vote.
All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to discuss in twilight phase until I post the death scene.
Dead players may make one "Bah!" post that contains no game-related content, but it must also contain a picture of a sheep and/or the word "OTTERCOCKS"
Night
Nights in this game will have a 72 hour deadline, and I reserve as much as 24 hours after that to process actions and post the flavor scene.
Players who have a night action to submit must send it in before the announced deadline. I accept provisional actions up until the announced deadline, at which time I will use the last action submitted.
Moderator Actions
Flavor is for entertainment purposes only and has no significance in the game.
If there is an error in the vote count or something similar, bold your concern in the thread. Please PM me for all other issues.
Violations of these rules will result in consequences. Pretending to violate these rules will also result in consequences. What those consequences are depend on the severity of the action and on the game state.
Any situation not covered above will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
I reserve the right to add, modify, or remove rules as necessary. I will notify you of all changes in the thread.
Please PM me if you need clarification on anything in the rules.
Here is an example of a town role that may or may not appear in the game:
You are a
Vanilla Townie
.
Abilities
During the Day, you may vote for whomever you want lynched.
During the Night, you may sleep.
Win Condition
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated and at least one Town-aligned player is still alive, or nothing can prevent the same.

Greater Idea Mafia is a semi-open setup, based on Great Idea Mafia, designed to be flexible while adding an extra layer of WIFOM and almost entirely removing the need for random votes.
In this setup, each player is randomly assigned two roles from the deck. They must immediately choose one to keep and discard the other. Once every player has chosen a role - and there is at least one antitown role in the game (if all town, abandon or reshuffle) - any roles with partners are informed of their partners. At the start of Day 1, every player's discarded role is publicly revealed.
In this game, that means there must be at least one non-town role and no more than four non-town roles in order for the game to proceed. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the deck.

Unfortunately, set-up attempt #1 has produced a non-viable set-up.
New cards will be sent out ASAP, at which point you will have another 48 hours to choose, since it's the weekend and don_johnson is v/la until Monday. (In the event he cannot check his PMs, we will wait for him since he notified me in advance.)
You're the first to arrive at the cabin, but it's left open for you. You sit and wait for the others to arrive, slightly anxious, but then you spot the big screen tv and forget your fear. Because...
I hate you all for choosing too many scum roles last game. anyway I discarded miller for grave digger. Yes I am claiming now cos either role was horrible.
Your role which conveniently makes you appear scum to watchers and trackers? Riiight. The chances of getting 2 "town that appears scum" roles are very small.
Also, if you are being honest about your role, you're narrowing down the list of PRs for scum to kill by claiming this early. And that's not good. My vote is now serious.
