Gameplay

1. You may not post Moderator-supplied information
   (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing your role pm is allowed.
   
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it. Players with roles allowing communication may only communicate outside the thread during the Night phase.
   
3. Mafia games sometimes start with the Night phase. However, in order for all players to play at least one game day,
   this game will start with a Day phase
   . Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins. At that point, you may only communicate privately when your role allows it.
   
4. The games at Mafiascum.net typically do not have a posting requirement. As a general rule, however, you should aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
   If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread.
   Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.

Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death

1. A simple majority of all living members must agree on one person for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down).
   
2. Once you have reached a simple majority, no further unvoting will change someone’s fate.
   
3. Please submit votes as "
   Vote: PlayerName
   ". Votes will NOT be counted otherwise!
   
4. There is no Rule #4...muahahaha
   
   
5. You may "
   Vote: No Lynch
   " - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
   
6. Each Day phase will last no longer than
   2 weeks
   . At deadline, ½ the original number of votes will be required for a lynch to occur. In case of a tie, the person who first received the required number of votes will be lynched. If this number is not met, a No Lynch will occur.
   
7. Each Night phase will last no longer than
   3 days
   , long enough to allow mafia to discuss strategy and choose who to kill. If you have a role with a Night action, your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline, no choice will be made.
   
8. Once a player is lynched, the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all living players may continue to post.
   
9. Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post, except for a brief “Bah!”-type post.

Miscellaneous

1. Robust cryptography and steganography are not allowed in my games. No invisible/small text is allowed, either.
   Additionally, blue text is not allowed, as that is the color I will be using to note mod comments if I have to edit player posts for any reason (rule-breaking, quote tags, etc).
   
   
2. Do not discuss the game with any players outside this thread
   , unless you are specifically given permission to do so.
   
3. If you have an issue/problem with the game beyond anything related to the vote count, please PM me privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
   
4. Questions/requests for the Mod may be posted in-thread.
   Please bold all requests so that I don’t miss them.
   If you do feel I've missed a question, please PM me a reminder, preferably with a link to that post.
   
5. Terminology and answers to common questions can usually be found by a perusal of the Mafiascum.net Wiki. If you can't find the answer to a question, feel free to ask!
   
6. Prods of missing players will be issued upon request or as I see fit. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to possible replacement without further notice.

The Golden Rule

Please remember that this is a game, and your main objective is to have fun! Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game.

The dates had been set, attendees had confirmed, and flights had been booked. Everything was coming together for the meet, and the hosts were prepping for the first arrivals. Grimmjow was cleaning the kitchen, InflatablePie was picking up downstairs, and xRECKONERx was on his way back from the airport. Anticipation was running high, and as people arrived they exchanged greetings and immediately started drinking, obviously. After a few rounds of Circle of Death were followed by Cards Against Humanity, everyone was completely shitfaced. Realizing that he was probably going to do something stupid like pass out while taking a shit if he kept drinking, Hinduragi decided to call it quits for the night. Heading downstairs, he stumbled into John’s old room, hoping to crash on the bed before anyone else had a chance to claim it.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group had started breaking out their laptops for an in-house game of LoL, unsurprisingly. Fate, Reck, Grimm, Pie, and Esurio would be facing Glork, quadz08, singersigner, Mastermind of Sin, and Nuwen. Glork immediately banned Lee Sin, of course, causing Fate to rage and start shooting him with the nerf gun. Sitting over on the couch, Glork was reaching behind him to grab a pillow to shield himself when everyone heard an incredibly girly scream from the basement. Rushing downstairs to see who had made the noise, the group burst in on Hindu sprawled on top of Ythan. The group started laughing and making gay jokes at Hindu until he rolled over and revealed the blood pooling around Ythan’s body.

Everyone started talking at once, trying to get a word in about the situation. After a minute or two of confusion, Grimmjow finally stood up on the bed and screamed to get everyone’s attention.

“Look, I know this is fucked up, but we have to figure out what happened. We can’t have people taking out Commune initiates, not under our watch!”

Reck walked over and stood next to the bed, adding his agreement.

“You’re right, babe...besides, who knows if it could happen again? Pie, weren't you down here cleaning earlier? You might have been the last person to see Ythan alive...”

The group all turned to look at Pie, who immediately lifted his hand and pointed it at himself.

“Yup, it was me. I killed Ythan tonight. Vote: Pie.”

Reck gave a sad chuckle, shaking his head.

“Alright, Pie’s town. No, seriously, nobody is leaving here until we find out what happened to Ythan. It could have been anyone. Except me, of course. I’m fucking obviously town, guys.”

And so everyone gathered in a circle in the basement and did exactly what scummers do best: Lie.

Ythan

Welcome to The Reckoning II: Electric Boogaloo! You are Ythan, incoming member of the Scumhaus.

[Mastermind of Sin]

I hate you all...figures I'd not survive to D2.

[Mastermind of Sin]

"Hated Townie" is not an alignment-specific designation. It merely refers to the Hated modifier.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Scumhaus was awash with blood and tragedy. So many had died already and were still dying, night by night. Suspiciously, every couple had either turned on each other or been killed in the night, except one. Grimmjow was sitting on the poop couch, looking back and forth between Singersigner and quadz08 as they sat across from each other, glaring.

"I just don't understand what's going on here! Why would either of you be killing all of us? This doesn't make any sense!"

Brock buried his head in his hands, showing obvious frustration and confusion.

"Look, there's no way I would have killed Reck if it was me...clearly one of you two is counting on the other to pick love over logic. Don't make that mistake, our lives are on the line!"

The other two considered his words carefully, and then turned back to one another. quadz broke the silence first.

"I don't know what to tell you, babe. I didn't even get here until a few days ago! How could I be killing people while I was on the road?"

Singersigner snorted derisively.

"That'd be the exact type of niggerfaggotry that I'd expect you to pull...lurk your way through the first couple days while a compatriot kills people for you, and then show up and try to claim you're not at fault? I'm not buying it. If you can't come up with something better than this, we're done."

quadz shrugged his shoulders helplessly, looking to Grimmjow for support.

"I-I-I..."

Singer stood up and quickly grabbed a knife out of the kitchen, moving to cut off Quadz's escape. Grimmjow hesitated only a moment and then moved to pin him on the couch.

"Here, give me the knife, I'll do it. A wife should never have to kill her husband."

Singer nodded sadly and handed over the knife. Grimm did the job with surprising precision and efficiency, and almost immediately, Singer realized her mistake. She backed toward the door, only to find the lock busted shut.

"You really did kill Will, didn't you Brock? How could you do that to him? He LOVED you!"

She gasped, a sudden realization coming to her.

"I should have known! Every time you act so extraordinarily confused, it's because you're scum! How could I have missed that?"

Grimm shrugged nonchalantly, the gleam of madness in his eyes.

"He deserved what he had coming to him. You

all

did...every time there is an interesting mafia setup, I get stuck being a townie! EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Well, I've had enough, and it was about time I took matters into my own hands. Serves you all right."

Singer stared at him speechlessly, as he continued his monologue while toying with the knife in his hands.

"Reck, Nuwen, MattP, all of them. They all deserved to die. If not by my hands, it would have been Drew, Josh, or Axxle. You should be thanking me for helping you out with those tools. To think they had the audacity to believe they could beat us at Mafia? Ha! They're far too new at this to get past this group. Absolutely ridiculous."

Singer had been slowly edging for the hallway, and she made a break for the stairs, dashing around the corner. Grimm, however, was ready for her, and launched the knife at her exposed back, where it embedded itself. She paused momentarily at the top of the stairs in shock, and then slowly crumpled, tumbling down to the landing where Pie had once been videotaped drinking alone for 20 minutes and then passing out. Grimm sauntered down to check on her, whistling cheerily as he moved to take a seat at his computer. He logged onto Mafiascum and pulled up the thread for The Reckoning II in GD. Grimm thought for a moment, and then began typing...

"The Reckoning II is over, folks. We all had a great time having everyone here, and we were really looking forward to next year! However, the time has come for the Scumhaus era to end, as Pie is moving down to Florida to join Esurio, and the rest of us'll be leaving the 'Haus when our lease is up. Still, many great memories were had, and I'm sure we'll be seeing y'all again soon!

Who's ready for the Invitational?

"

TheTrollie has been lynched. He was

quadz08, a member of the Town.

nhammen has been endgamed. He was

Flavor in this game was pretty amusing.

Everyone who cared in this game was killed pretty early on. I hate these games that end with the most apathetic left alive. Sure, it's a good way for anti-town to achieve their wincon, so it's understandable that it happens, but... meh. It makes for a boring post-death read. :/

(why am I still awake halp)

I'm glad you enjoyed the flavor, and also I apologize for not being as consistent with it over the latter half of the game due to personal life shit. I tried to make up for it with an extra-awesome conclusion, though!

[Mastermind of Sin]

Yes, I did all the flavor for the game. Since quadz was around more and handling the other modding duties more frequently as the game went on (and eventually, pretty much all of it), I went and edited in my flavor writeups into his posts whenever I had time to get them done. Actually, if I'd been able to be around more reliably, I think we make a pretty good modding team. We definitely worked well together in building the setup, and we each have different parts of modding that we enjoy, which meant that we complimented each other well as co-mod. Thankfully, quadz was doing the truly important stuff, since I kinda checked out in the middle.

[Mastermind of Sin]

I suck at flavor, basically, so whenever I co-mod, I try to farm that duty out to the other guy.

I don't usually suck at modding, but I definitely would rather farm out VCs to my co-mod. =P ^5!
