The full ruleset is located on this wiki page. You are heavily encouraged to read
all
of it.
We will be using the following sections of the ruleset: notes on reading this page, general rules, standard activity and deadline rules, and voting, fading, and twilight rules.
Summary of General Rules
Follow the golden rule:
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Follow all site rules including the ones against discussing ongoing games, threatening to replace out, declaring intent to replace out in-thread, and proving private communication.
Do not discuss the reasons behind a player replacing out.
Do not use the plain spoiler tag; use spoiler= instead. Be mindful of other users and try to spoiler posts with multiple large images or videos.
Play to win the game.
This includes reading your role pm and confirming your role to the moderator's satisfaction. Do not claim to have done otherwise.
Respect pronouns
, and use alternatives like fade, accuse, and eliminate instead of the L-word.
Follow both the letter and spirit of the rules.
If you disagree with an action the moderator takes, please bring it up privately or wait until post-game. Do not discuss moderator actions in-thread.
The moderator may update the ruleset as necessary with notice.
This summary is not and cannot be all-inclusive. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the entire ruleset when you get the chance.
Summary of Deadline and Activity Rules
The full activity and deadline rules are located here. We are using only the standard rules.
Day 1 lasts 14 days. Day 2 lasts ten days. All other days last seven days. Nights last two days.

The moderator will check daily around the same time and prod any player who has not posted within the last 30 hours.

Do not spam the thread. Try to limit triple-or-more-in-a-row posting.

Do you have questions, ideas, or feedback for the Scummies? Please pm me!
All role PMs should have already been sent by now. Unless you received a generic VT role pm, the subject line should include your username. Please do not read the PM and notify me immediately if there is a mismatch.
The game will begin when I have 7/9 confirms or in (expired on 2023-09-18 18:00:00).

This tracks who voted whom each day. Each line is formatted like Player A (2) : Player B (2) --> Player C (3) where Player A is the person voting, player A votes player B in post #2, and player A votes player C in post #3. The use of ==> instead of --> indicates that the vote was not changed from its current target. People indented four spaces instead of two are replacements for a slot.
With 9 alive, it takes five votes to fade a player.
This phase will end on Sunday, October 1, 2023 7:00 PM CDT (GMT-5:00) or in (expired on 2023-10-01 19:00:00).

"In mafia, I've learned to always be wary of yes men. It's also a good idea to always be wary of Generic, because you never know what he's going to try to do."
I spent so long reading the opening posts trying to figure out every conceivable way I could end up with a ban (or at least a warning) and I got beaten to the punch.
By a shitty vote post too.
"In mafia, I've learned to always be wary of yes men. It's also a good idea to always be wary of Generic, because you never know what he's going to try to do."
"In mafia, I've learned to always be wary of yes men. It's also a good idea to always be wary of Generic, because you never know what he's going to try to do."
Since my return from semi retirement from forum mafia I had noticed the L word being considered a no no. I like some of the alternatives mentioned by the mod but can I just confirm with the players currently active, is Yeet ok around here?
"In mafia, I've learned to always be wary of yes men. It's also a good idea to always be wary of Generic, because you never know what he's going to try to do."
Since its unlikely many of the people i used to play mafia with are still about 8 years on, time for a little bio.
Im Generic, im autistic, i will do my best to not let my emotiions get me carried away and give everyone the respect deserved. It is afterall only a game. Im hyper aware, for example im aware this sort of post will be viewed as suspious under wolf behaviour understanding, but its best to give everyone the big picture.
I have two personas in forum mafia, this is the OG, the other guy was a more recent player that joined the party in my head. He lives in perpetual RVS, i tend to ignore that and absorb whats happening because i need to get a gauge on you lot. None of whom i have meta on, which thankfully doesnt heavioly affect me anyway as i will go with the gut. First game back on this site, need to shake off the ring rust.
Im also from a generation that predates pronouns, the worst i used to contend with was seeing a username as masculine when i lady was behind it. If i make a mistake my apologieds in advance, no malice is meant in any error i make there.
And now to the real psychology. I dont get Yeeted day 1. ASo do with that what you will. I will try my best to avoid hammering myself, i will aim to keep the toxicity out of this. I am sure i can do it... well, maybe.
Anyway, carry on, i will be here for any questions you might have.
OH, and im Englishm so keep that in mind for timezones and shit.
"In mafia, I've learned to always be wary of yes men. It's also a good idea to always be wary of Generic, because you never know what he's going to try to do."
Aureal and Black are early favourites. Im a sucker for niceness.
And Black in particular feel natural with the digression into a RL anecdote.
Cary on
