Rules: (borrowed and modified from chkflip)

1. This game uses the Newbie 2of4 setup, which is a semi-open setup.

2. To vote for a player, bold the word "vote" followed by said player's name, e.g.

Vote: Jackal711

. As long as I can tell to whom you are referring, spelling does not count and I will accept abbreviated or otherwise shortened forms of the name of the vote's recipient. If you change your mind about whom you want lynched, you must bold an unvote, preferably in the format

Unvote: Jackal711

. You may also Vote: No Lynch, and Unvote: No Lynch. Use of the vote and unvote tags is also allowed, and preferred.

3. A majority of votes is required for a lynch, even at deadline. Once a lynch has been decided, it is final and further votes and unvotes do not count for the current day. If deadline is reached with no player having enough votes for a lynch, the day ends in an automatic No Lynch.

4. Once you're lynched, nightkilled, or modkilled (a modkill ends the day ONLY if the modkilled player is pro-town), I'll allow one "bah" post that doesn't contain any game-related content if you wish to make it, but you must thereafter stop posting in the game. Said "bah" post is the only post a dead player may make during twilight. Living players may continue to talk during twilight as long as they follow all of the rules.

5. You are not forced to like each other, but the fact that you badly want so and so offed does not give you the right to insult him or her. Please keep your hatred of people or groups thereof to yourself unless you want a warning. Three warnings (or an offensive enough post) and you will be ejected from the game and replaced with someone else.

6. Do not hide text or otherwise hinder its readability by using spoiler tags, invisible text, etc. THIS INCLUDES ENCRYPTED TEXT! You may, however, post in any color that can be easily read against the forum background other than

blue

This is my mod color. Violators will be warned. Doing it again will result in replacement.

7. Impersonating the moderator WILL NOT HAPPEN. Doing so, you will be replaced.

8. If you somehow have the ability to edit or delete your posts in this forum, please DO NOT do so. If I catch you doing such, you will be replaced or modkilled.

9. You are not allowed to discuss this game outside of the thread unless I tell you otherwise, and then only with whom I have allowed you to do so and at your specified time. This is a modkillable offense.

10. Discussing an ongoing game in this game's thread gets you a warning the first time and a MODKILL the second time.

11. Do not quote or pretend to quote any private communication, either from me or from anyone else you are allowed to talk with at night. This includes your role PM. Violators will be modkilled. You are allowed to paraphrase, but you are not allowed to plagiarize. If in doubt as to your paraphrase's legality, PM me with the wording you want to use.

12. Claiming to be scum with someone else will result in a modkill.

13. I will issue a prod to any player that does not post for 48 hours without notifying me of his or her absence. If you are prodded, you will have 24 hours from the time of submission to post in thread. Failure to do so may result in replacement. I will only prod the same player twice. If a third prod is required, they will be replaced.

14. I am not God (or a Lawyer). I am only human and prone to making mistakes like any of us. If I do make a mistake please bring it to my attention either via PM or in thread. If addressing me in thread please do so in bold

@Mod: (message)

15. All rules are subject to change. If there are changes I will point them out in the next posted vote count.

16. All lynches and actions are considered to be done instaneously. Obviously I can't be on all the time, so they will be posted as soon as possible. Night actions are considered to all happen at the same time. The principles of NAR (Natural Action Resolution) as discussed in the Wiki will apply in any conflict.

17. Deadlines will be 3 weeks for Days, and 72 hours for Night.

18. If anyone gets modkilled, they will turn into a Neutral Survivor for all purposes and will lose the game. Day will also end immediately if they were town-aligned.

19. The most important rule of all, saved for last for what I think is a very good reason: HAVE FUN! Enjoy! And good luck!

[Jackal711]

The 2of4 setup is a test game format we're trying out in Newbie Games to get around balance issues with the F11 setup. To prevent the development of game-breaking strategies, these Newbie Games are semi-open, wherein the actual game setup is randomly chosen as detailed below:

• 1
  mafia role cop
• 1
  mafia goon
• 5
  townies
• 2 of the following with no duplicates possible:
  
  • 1
    town cop
  • 1
    town doctor
  • 1
    town jailkeeper
  • 1
    townie

Keep the following in mind:

1. The role cop has the option of submitting both investigations and kills, even when the goon is still alive.
2. Mafia must specify who is performing what Night action when the actions are submitted!

Below are all of the possible role PMs:

You are the Mafia Goon, along with Player1, who is a Mafia Rolecop.

During the night, both of you may talk amongst yourself here to devise your strategy for the next day. You may also talk prior to the beginning of the day, but all talk must cease once the day begins and until the next night comes.

You may only talk to each other during the pre-game and at night.

You both also have the ability to kill one player during the night.

You must designate who will do the night-kill

You win when the mafia exceed the number of town players left in the game, or when nothing is able to prevent that from happening.

If you have read and understood your role, please confirm by return PM stating your role.

You are the Mafia Rolecop, along with Player1, who is a Mafia Goon.

You win when all the mafia have been eliminated from the game.

If you have read and understood your role, please confirm by return PM stating your role.

Each night, you may choose someone who you will protect from the night-kill. this ONLY protects from the night-kill, and nothing else.
You can not target yourself.

Hello, IC here. I look forward to a good game, and if you have any theory-related questions, feel free to come to me.

[Toroid]

Hi I'm Toroid. I'm new. Here have a couple pictures to see what I look like.

Spoiler: Pictures

As you can see. I like sweets and stuff. I'll probably get fat. My play style is... Well gee I don't know. Be sure to let me know!
I'll be fairly active Except for the next fourty minutes as I get dressed and get more treats!

VOTE: Hazard With a Glove
This guy right here just screams "scum"!

Mod Edit: Put pictures behind a spoiler tag

[basketballstar24]

Meh RVS. Here's a few RQS questions:

Questions

1. What is your mafia experience?
2. Do you play with logic or gut?
3. Would you rather play as town or scum?

Any questions to add?

Answers:
1. I played 3 games in another forum, this is my first newbie game here.
2. Logic mostly, but gut comes through sometimes.
3. I would rather play as scum. Easier.

So RVS eh?

[basketballstar24]

EBWOP: That's just annoying, Toroid. Especially of you eating sweets.

[Nachomamma8]

I personally can't stand RQS because all it adds to the game is a potential for info slips, WIFOM, and useless noise. As such, I won't be answering any questions and would somewhat prefer if no one else did either. The first question is not so useful in a newbie game because if any of you have played mafia before, you played it on another site or I can read your games by clicking on your name and browsing the forum. The second question sets up for scum answering that they scumhunt with gut and thus we won't have to give much reasoning for anything later in the game because they already said they wouldn't have logic to back things up. The third question is also useless. It doesn't matter at all which you prefer to play; it's not a scumtell for this game because we can't choose our alignments.

Why did you participate in RVS if you didn't like it?

[Toroid]

Questions

1. What is your mafia experience?
2. Do you play with logic or gut? (*Reads nachomammas post*) I play with my gut. I just got a tripple meat pizza.
3. Would you rather play as town or scum? Yes.

[chckn]

Hello. This is my first game of mafia ever. Looking forward to playing with you guys.

Hi, I'm masenkoEX. I look forward to playing with you all!

Questions

1. What is your mafia experience?
2. Do you play with logic or gut?
3. Would you rather play as town or scum?

Any questions to add?

1. This is my 3rd official game on the forum; however, I have played many times with friends and what not, so I'm not exactly a noob, but not a veteran either.
2. I play with both. Early game, I use my gut more than logic. Late turn 2 on I use mainly logic, and little gut.
3. Either is fine by me. When I play, I play to win, regardless of my role.

Also VOTE: chckn due to lack of vowels in his username.

Mahler is a fantastic composer. You are well liked good sir.

[basketballstar24]

Err...Toroid's answers don't make sense 0.o

@Nachomamma, there is nothing to do except RVS and RQS the couple of pages, and I don't really either like both, but I guess it's the only way to get information from someone. I guess best way to start a game.

[basketballstar24]

EBWOP: Will be stuck on a plane for like 24 hours today so won't post until late sixteenth or early seventeenth (of August).

[Hazard with a Glove]

Well hello. I'm sorry that I'm a bit late. But anyway, RVS:
Vote: basketballstar
I never liked basketball.

My mafia experience includes a few games on this site a long time ago, but a few weeks ago I played a rather crude in person game, which made me have the urge to get back on this site to play some serious games. I'm going to follow Nachomamma on the RQS thing, I think he has a pretty good point.

Meh RVS. Here's a few RQS questions:

The last two letters of your username are my initials 0.o

1) This is my first game
2) How do you define playing with logic and gut respectively? Is this a "yes or no" or "logic or gut" question? Do you see and understand the difference?
3) I wouldn't know, as this is my first game.

He said it was due to a lack of vowels in the name. Clearly arbitrary. He included it to place some pressure on him. Why are you so worried? Is he your scum buddy?
