Game Rules

All Forum Rules and Guidelines should be followed, along with the following rules.

Game Timeline

• Night phases will last two days.

General Rules

• Do not quote your role PM or any other PM/QT communication from the mod.
  
• Do not contact any player in or outside of the game about the game.
  
• Do not use encrypted or hard-to-see text (including "invisible" text, text below the 50% text size option, or text hidden via BBCode (not including spoilered text)).
  
• Do not edit or delete posts in this thread. If you made a formatting mistake, I will fix it for you (if it doesn't change the content of the post).

Activity

• If a player doesn't post in-game after a period of 48 hours, other players may request a prod of that player.
  
• If a player doesn't post in-game after a period of 72 hours and another player hasn't made a request, I will prod that player.
  
• If a player is prodded, that player has 24 hours to make an in-game post before a replacement will be found.
  
• If a player receives multiple prods and/or prod-dodges excessively, that player will be subject to a force-replace.
  
• If you are going to be absent for a specific period of time, please let me know ahead of time!

Votes and Lynching

• Votes must be in the format of VOTE: Player Name or
  VOTE: Player Name
  . Abbreviations, missing punctuation, and misspellings will be accepted as long as it is obvious to me who is being voted for. If I perceive it as a vote, it will count as a vote.
  
• Unvotes are not necessary to change a vote.
  
• A player will be lynched if a majority of the players have voted for that player.
  
• You may vote for a
  No Lynch
  . If a majority of players vote for a No Lynch, the game will proceed to Night without a lynch.
  
• All living players, including the lynchee, may continue to post until I lock the thread.
  
• Once I have posted your death scene, you may not post ("bah" posts are not allowed).

Behavior

• Harassment of an individual player is NOT permitted. While this is a competitive game, no personal attacks will be tolerated.
  
• Always play to your win condition.
  
• Do not discuss this game anywhere else with anyone else unless your role allows you to.

Game Setup

This game is using the standard Newbie Game setup, Matrix6. One row or one column will be randomly chosen from the table below and the remaining six roles will be filled in by Mafia Goons and Vanilla Townies as appropriate to create a total of 2 Mafia-aligned players and 7 Town-aligned players.

	A	B	C
1	Town Jailkeeper	Vanilla Townie	Mafia Goon
2	Mafia Roleblocker	Town Cop	Town Doctor
3	Town 1-Shot Bulletproof	Mafia Goon	Town Tracker

Please note:

• The Mafia must specify who is performing what Night action when the actions are submitted.
  
• In applicable situations, a Roleblocker's action will resolve before a Jailkeeper's action.
  
• In applicable situations, a Mafia Roleblocker has the option of submitting both roleblocks and kills, even when the Mafia Goon is still alive.

[Thor665]

tl:dr - this entire commentary block is all about introducing myself as the IC, blathering about my duties, and offering a basic idea of some of the strategy of the RVS. If this interests you, please read on (especially if this is your first time playing here) if not, feel free to skip.

Spoiler: IC Intro

===========================================================================================

Greetings,

I am Thor665 and I am the Inexperienced Challenged (IC) player of this group. What this means is first and foremost - I am here to play this game with you in a way that will show you what it is like to play on Mafiascum.net. I am here to win and should be treated as such.

My goals and the rules governing my actions are covered in this handy article: Being a good IC
That article is part of our amazing MafiaWiki System. I *highly* recommend this system as a good way to get your feet wet and to find out what a lot of the common abbreviations mean. There is a lot of play strategy discussed in there too. A lot of players consider that advice almost all outdated now. I don't recommend trying to run verbatim with anything there, but a lot of the basic advice is very good to at least be aware of as it can help you avoid blatant pitfalls as you become familiar with the game play here.

Now, as an IC I am here as a resource for you to ask questions of concerning game theory. I WILL NOT lie about game theory answers and will answer them to the best of my ability. I will also offer you the following quick pieces of advice;

1. Don't self vote. (there are really no points during a Newbie setup where this is a good idea, please avoid it however logical you may think it is)
2. This site frowns on lying if you are a vanilla town role. I strongly advise against lying if you have this role as usually it will only hurt town in the end.
3. It's a game - have fun.

We are now starting what is known as the RVS (random voting stage). We are in a low information period because scum already know who they are, and even have a rough idea of what power roles may or may not be in the game. It is now town's job to root them out. Because the start of the game leaves us with no information to start with generally the way to start is to begin voting and questioning other people to see if you can catch them doing something scummy (scummy actions being acts that a scum player is more likely to do then a town player).

Vote: Penguin Power

[Hermie]

VOTE: rb

RVs for the win! Get him!

[PenguinPower]

VOTE: Thor665

He knows why.

[Thor665]

Unvote: Penguin Power
Vote: rb

[PenguinPower]

Awww...just when we were getting started.

[Thor665]

VOTE: Thor665

He knows why.

Is it because you're scum and fear my elite skills?
Because otherwise - no, I don't know why.

[PenguinPower]

VOTE: rb

Let's try for a page 1 lynch!

[PenguinPower]

VOTE: Thor665

He knows why.

Is it because you're scum and fear my elite skills?
Because otherwise - no, I don't know why.

Don't you try to buddy me this round, scum.

[Thor665]

There is absolutely nothing in my comment that remotely looks like buddying.
In fact, if anything, it is an attack on you.
Why are you falsely trying to claim it as buddying, while also ignoring the implicit invitation to justify your false suggestion that I would know why you voted me?

I was trying to reference why I voted you with "you know why" because of you buddying me as scum in 1725. I'm hurt you don't remember.

[MisaTange]

VOTE: Persephone325

WOO

also

I thought I heard someone call my name

I think its a sign that this is gonna be a good game™

[MisaTange]

A thing that I found looking at games, this:


AKA the thing below the quick reply box. Super helpful later in the game where you want to look at individual's isos, but their last post is like 11 pages back, and you're too lazy to go thru it, as well as associative reads, which are one of the key things for mafia.

[Hermie]

Mustang afraid to bandwagon your scum buddy?

[Hermie]

Btw rb is at l-2.. might be a good time for a defense rb huh???

[Hermie]

Unless we get a defense tonight I have

intent to hammer

[PenguinPower]

You can't hammer a wagon at L-2 that you are currently on...like...wut?

[Hermie]

Hmm true. But who ever comes on should hammer it.. he is stalling

[PenguinPower]

Still pg1, Herms. Pg1.

[MisaTange]

1. Mustang, XD, that's a new one
2. We have two weeks to decide our lynch target today. If he flakes (majority of town has some fos on him, gets asked to do a game-advancing post but doesn't repeatedly, etc.) that's another story, but especially since not everyone has checked in, let's assume that he doesn't have time to post at the moment (timezones, work, school, etc.)
3. I think this is a RvS wagon
4. Since, generally, scum wants the day to end faster (they're able to communicate at night to coordinate claims and think of plays!) and town wants to prolong the day, your vote feels very opportunistic, Hermie.

In fact...
