First, check out the Boilerplate Mafiascum Game Rules. All of the rules on that page apply unless contradicted by a rule below.

All Site Rules apply at all times.

General Rules:

1. Do not use my color (#C35817).
2. If you believe a mod error has been made or you disagree with any action I took, please PM me immediately.
3. Once you are dead, you are permitted to make a single "Bah" post. Do not influence the game in any way with this post.
4. Do not play against the spirit of the rules or of the game.
5. This ruleset is subject to change at any time. If a change is made mid-game, it will be announced in-thread by the mod.

Voting and Deadline Rules:

1. Votes should be made using bolded text (

Vote: Player

) or a vote tag (VOTE: Player). You can also vote for no lynch.
2. A lynch (or no lynch) occurs when a simple majority is reached. If deadline is reached without a simple majority, a no lynch occurs.
3. All days have a deadline of 14 days. I may extend this in rare circumstances.
4. Each night will end after 48 hours and no sooner. The countdown for a night deadline will not start while a replacement is being sought out.
5. All night actions must be submitted by PM or a relevant private topic. I greatly prefer PM.
6. In the case of five consecutive phases with no deaths, all factions who have not yet achieved their win condition lose.

Activity Rules:

1. A prod PM will be issued if any player does not post for 48 hours. Prods will be announced in-thread. You have 24 hours to pick up your prod either by posting or PM (if at night). After this time, I will begin seeking a replacement.
2. I will seek replacement immediately without waiting 24 hours if a player receives a third prod or more.
3. If you plan to be gone for over 48 hours, please announce that you will be V/LA in-thread (or by PM, if at night).

Just as a heads up, I'm going into surgery on Wednesday. I'll likely not be around for a bit over 24 hours starting the morning of 8/13 (which is conveniently my birthday - fun!). If something realllllly serious happens that absolutely cannot wait for my return (i.e. a major breach of the rules that compromises the integrity of the game), please PM EspeciallyTheLies who will get a hold of me by text. Otherwise, I'll be back sometime on Thursday.

[Rob14]

Just a warning, on thursday I will be on vacation and only be able to post on mobile for a week.

Do you need to be considered V/LA or will you be able to meet the normal activity requirements?

OkaPoka,

Vanilla Townie

, has been lynched Day 1.

It is now Night 1. Please send in both night actions within (expired on 2014-08-17 10:55:00).

[Rob14]

Klazam,

Vanilla Townie

, has been killed Night 1.

fuzzybutternut,

Vanilla Townie

, has been endgamed.
ProHawk,

Vanilla Townie

turned

Cultist

, has survived but lost (see setup-specific information).

Maruchan,

1-Shot Cult Recruiter

, has survived and won!

Game over! Cult wins!

Night actions (if not obvious from above):
OkaPoka shoots Klazam.
Maruchan recruits ProHawk.

I made a mod error during this game, but I don't believe it impacted anything. I failed to remind Klazam when he PM'd me a question that if the Cult wins Night 1, then only the Recruiter wins. My bad, just realized this now. ;(

[Rob14]

Some mod notes that I made while watching:

1) I hate Maru’s meta. It allows him to get away with being completely anti-town in scum games because he’s practically playing against wincon in town games. smh

2) It’s realllllllllly bad to talk about who you would shoot in Cult Vengeful. It effectively removes the possibility of hitting the same person as the Cult Recruiter, which is the situation that would allow a 3p LyLo. Unless you’re somehow 100% sure you’re hitting the Cult Recruiter (and you’re never that sure, unless someone cheated somehow), you should always keep pretty mute about who you’ll shoot. This is the big challenge of Cult Vengeful, imo. You have to show enough of your scumhunting to convince people you’re town and not to lynch you, but you have to not show so much that the Cult Recruiter increases their chances of winning by knowing for certain who to select that you won’t shoot.

[Rob14]

TBF the relevant setup details were in the first few posts and the wiki page, but yes, I dun goofed. Apologies for that. If you had become cult, Klaz, then I would have given you a "win" as well due to my mistake in leading you down that path. Either way, your strategy failed - you weren't recruited.
