Newbie Ruleset

(Stolen from [redacted], who stole it from KittyMo; provenance further within)

Game Rules (Modified from Zorblag, who modified them from Vel-Rahn Koon):

General Gameplay and Etiquette:

1. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it. Mafia members may communicate at any time, but only in the private topic specified in your role PM.
3. 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 or relevant private topic by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
4. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase. This is greatly appreciated if you plan not to perform an action.

Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:

1. A simple majority of all living members must agree on one person for a lynch to occur prior to deadline. The number of players required to lynch will be in all vote counts.
2. Once you have reached a simple majority, no further votes or unvotes count.
3. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
4. Please submit votes as:

Vote: PlayerName

or VOTE: PlayerName. I will count all votes that I can understand as a clear vote, so abbreviations of usernames are fine.
5. Please submit vote revocations as either

Unvote: PlayerName

or UNVOTE: PlayerName or UNVOTE: . Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
6. You may Vote: No Lynch - half of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a lynch.
7. Day 1 will last 10 days. All subsequent days will last 7 days. At deadline, no lynch will occur if no majority has been reached.
8. Night phases will last 48 hours.

Miscellaneous/Mechanics:

1.

This color

text is reserved for the Mod (#C35817). No invisible/small text is allowed, nor is cryptography.
2. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
3.

Please bold all requests to the Mod so that they don’t get missed.

4. Prods of missing players will be issued automatically after 36 hours of no activity. A prodded player has 24 hours to respond or risks replacement. A player who receives a third prod is subject to immediate replacement.
5. Rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a modkill.
6.

If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 36-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.
7. If five consecutive day or night phases go by with no deaths, the game will end in a loss for all factions.

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.

Row 3	Town Cop and Town Doctor	Town Neapolitan and Town Doctor	Town Tracker and Town Doctor

Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates one mafia role from the top of a column, and then two town roles from a row below the selected mafia role. The remaining six roles will be filled in by

I’m going to try to skim off my phone. I’m legit just sitting on this rig with no jobs but didn’t take my computer because this is a rig with no charging capabilities

You’re lying, here you say you brought it but there’s no WiFi, is this a different rig? Did you just now get on a new one, why no activity here when you weren’t on a rig?

[Rob14]

As an important note, concessions aren't really a thing in Mafia. In fact, they're arguably against site rules, which require all players to play to win at all times. If you're the last member of a faction and they've got you dead-to-rights, the best thing is to just wait for them to go through the process of lynching you and hope something somehow distracts them or makes them fail to successfully lynch. While I normally would not accept a concession as a result, I accepted it here because it was already announced in-thread and there was only one Mafia left alive. There was no point in making you finish the process of voting, since Mafia has already announced themselves in-thread.

In this case, though, there actually

was

a potential way out of this scenario, in my opinion. Simply claim the Mafia must have targeted Mala's protection target, not been blocked by Roo. That's certainly plausible; Alonzo looked very town. Try to lynch one of the two remaining unconfirmed townies (Reaper, Thespio). Then, the next night, roleblock Roo and kill Malakittens. Claim you're cleared because Roo targeted you with jailkeeper again (which they almost certainly would). The margin for victory is slim, but you hadn't been definitively outed as scum yet. There were other possible explanations for the results that were present.
