1. Follow the Boilerplate Mafiascum Game Rules unless contradicted below.

3. Don't lie about serious things in your real life to justify in-game behavior.
4. pre is my tag. You may use it occasionally.

Game-Specific
Setup and ruleset based on zoraster's Second Fortnight. You can skim through these rules, but carefully read your role PM.
The Leaderboard
New players start with a rating of 150.
All games have the same setup, detailed below.
A penalty of -200 will be given to anyone who replaces out in the middle of a game, except if something unforeseeable happened.
When a player's rating is below 0, they can only join non-consecutive games.
The leaderboard isn't updated until the end of a game as not to reveal players' alignments.
The Setup
The setup is two Mafia Goons versus seven townies. The Mafia have daytalk. Plurality rules are in effect. If two players have received the same number of votes at the end of the day, I'll look at the last vote on each wagon. The player who got their last vote first gets lynched.
A majority vote doesn't end the day. The day will end once everyone has placed a vote and they haven't been changed for 24 hours.
A game lasts a single Day and a single Night, which last 12 days and 2 days at most, respectively.
If the town lynches a mafia member on Day 1, the players' ratings will change as follows:
If a townie is lynched, the mafia will via instant night select one of their members to
Flee
, thus removing from the game. The identity of the fleeing player is revealed to the town and they cannot be accused. The lynched townie turns into a
Third Party Poltergeist
.
Every other Town member becomes a
Third Party Independent Private Investigator
and will win or lose for themselves.
PI's have up to 48 hours to make an accusation. At the end of the night, Independent PIs must have submitted at least one accusation to the moderator. The most recent accusation counts.
If a Mafia Goon was lynched, the PI's can make two accusations of which only one has to be correct.
The remaining mafia member instead of submitting an accusation submits a bribe. If the mafia member bribes a Private Investigator who in turn accuses the mafia member AND there are no other accusations against the mafia member, the Private Investigator is bribed, causing a win for BOTH that Private Investigator AND the Mafia. The lynched/fleeing Mafia player does not have a bribe to use.
The Poltergeist chooses someone to haunt. This doesn't influence anything but the Poltergeist's ranking. If the haunted player is mafia, the Poltergeist gains 135 points.
Ratings change as follows, if the remaining mafia member is not accused by any PI:
Mafia Goons: +100
Private Investigators: -20
...if the bribed investigator is the only PI to accuse the remaining mafia member:
Mafia Goons: +100
Bribed Investigator: +100
Other Private Investigators: -20
...in all other cases of the remaining mafia member being accused:
