TEAM MAFIA 2020 GAMEPLAY RULESET

ALL SITE RULES, INCLUDING THOSE PROHIBITING TALKING ABOUT NON TEAM MAFIA GAMES, STILL APPLY.

I reserve the right to append these rules should it become necessary. If this happens, all players will be notified
[/b]

If you have any doubt about whether something is against the rules or not, pm your mod and me, and ask.

Team Communication

1. Each team will be provided a Private Topic (PT).
2. Each team will also be provided a Discord Channel (DC), upon request.
3. Players may copy and paste whatever they want into their PT/DC.

They may not copy and paste text OUT of their PT/DC into game threads.

4. Players may continue to communicate with their team after in-game death in their provided PT/DC.

5. There are no restrictions for what players can post in their PT/DC's outside of not breaking site rules.

6. We'd prefer if teams used the provided means of communication. If your team really wants/needs to user another, please contact Untrod Tripod. The organizing team will need to be able to access any means of communication in an emergency.

7. Team PT/DC's will only be made public after the game if all players on the team consent to their release.
8. All Game PT's including all scum PT's will automatically be released after Team Mafia.

9. There will not be Spectator/Dead PT's.

Talking About Other Games

1. There are no restrictions for what players can post in their PT/DC's outside of not breaking site rules. The rules for this section refer to what players can talk about in their ongoing games and ongoing game PT's.

2. Players are only allowed to talk about mod-confirmed things from other ongoing Team Mafia games.

Examples of things that ARE allowed

• Stating who is on what team.
  
• Stating what Day or Night another game is in.
  
• Stating how many players are left alive on a team.
  
• Stating how many town or scum are alive in another game.
  
• Stating whether a dead player in another game has flipped town or scum.

3. Any public speculation about other ongoing games is prohibited.
4. Any attempt to publically signal players from other ongoing games, pass messages to players from other games, or otherwise communicate through the use of cryptography is prohibited.
5. Do not try to loophole these rules. If anyone has questions at any point about what is allowed or not allowed please message me (Untrod Tripod).

6. To repeat: If you have any doubt about whether something is against the rules or not, PM your mod and me, and ask.

Your Teammates are Always Innocent Until Proven Guilty

1. You may at no time say, indicate, insinuate, etc. that your Team Mafia teammates are or might be anything other than town. This includes in any hypothetical situation.
2. Exception: You may talk about your teammates being scum if they have flipped scum in another game (i.e. are dead).
3. If a player is NOT on your team and is still alive in another game, you must follow the rules in the Talking About Other Games thread.

Replacements

1. It is your job to replace team members who are not active. If you require assistance from the moderator or any event organizer, there will be a tiebreak penalty.
2. To replace a team member, you must PM Untrod Tripod AND the moderator of your game. We have a list of replacements that you will be able to choose from.
3. You may replace with anyone who is not currently on a Team Mafia team, has not previously been on a different Team Mafia team, is and has not been part of the Team Mafia Organizing team (Moderators, Balance-checkers, players in tiebreak game), and is eligible to play in mafia games. However, only 4 people may be involved in the PT at any time. A replaced team member may not participate in any way unless he is replaced back in.
4. The mod will force replace any player who has not posted within 3 days (Prodded after 2 days, no response for 1 more) of his last post (not including Night). This will come at a penalty to the team.
5. If a player must be replaced due to mod errors or another outside influence (such as gaining information that they should not be able to have), the mods may assist in finding a replacement without assessing a penalty.

Scoring

Team Mafia 2020 is, chiefly, a competition between teams. Therefore, there is a scoring system.

1. Each team will be rewarded 1 point for being on the winning side of a finished game, even if they died before the game ended.
2. The team with the most points wins.

At the end of each game and at the end of the whole event, there will be a survey distributed to the teams. For the games the survey will require each player to vote, on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the least important 10 being the most important, how important a player was in their side winning the game. For the Team Survey, each player will be required to vote how deserving each team is of winning the event on a scale from 1 to 10.

In the event of a tie, there is a tiebreaker. In order of importance:

1. Being on the winning side of the Large Theme.
2. Having the best average score in the Game Survey.
3. Having the best score in the Team Survey.
4. The TM2020 Mods vote on a winner.

[Untrod Tripod]

You will start to receive PMs tonight. Please bear with us as we are dealing with some replacement issues before the event begins.

[Untrod Tripod]

also, hype etc.

[pisskop]

Wait, so can we share our roles with our teammates over discord?

[CheekyTeeky]

Hype to watch the open. Glgl.

[Vex Vience]

Wait, so can we share our roles with our teammates over discord?

[Gammagooey]

HYPE ETC.

I picked the Mini Theme, so why am I in the White Flag?

[Aristophanes]

I picked the Mini Theme, so why am I in the White Flag?

If the game requested filled before you got there you were likely shuffled into the other remaining game. It was a portion of the game selection procedure.

Also I'm back and feeling refreshed, so this should be fun!

[gobbledygook]

I picked the Mini Theme, so why am I in the White Flag?

If your blacklist conflicted with that game’s playerlist that may have also affected things.

[Joan of Arc]

Also, where are the large theme and WF?

[Titus]

Can the game assignments and teams be posted in a thread in the team mafia forum? It would make for easier cross referencing.

[Untrod Tripod]

This was apparently unclear so I will just state it again:

YOU ARE EXPLICITLY ALLOWED TO SHARE YOUR ROLE PM AND DETAILS FROM YOUR GAME WITH YOUR TEAM.

[Kerset]

But can we copy those?

[Plum]

HYPE ETC.

what a transparent attempt to display your new enhattened avatar...

did I hear someone say HYPE?

[Pine]

But can we copy those?

Yes, explicitly. Your team IS you. That's the central premise of the competition.

[gobbledygook]

I’m loving these avatars
