Rules

You are fully responsible for understanding and following these rules.


None of these rules supercede or contradict the Forum Rules and Guidelines, all of which are in full force.




Conduct

  • Don't use
    blue
    , it's my color.

  • Play to win.

  • Don't discuss the game outside of the game.

  • Don't flame. Don't harass. Don't use insults that target minority or disadvantaged classes.

  • Keep interpersonal disputes out of the game thread.

  • You may quote or fake quotes from your role PM or other mod communications unless instructed not to.

  • Don't use encryption, tiny/hidden/unreadable text, or anything that could be easily confused for such.

  • All replacement requests will be taken as serious, irrevocable, and immediate. Once you request replacement you are no longer a player. Don't post again.

  • Don't game the rules, pretend to break the rules, or intentionally test the limits. All pretended violations will be dealt with identically to actual violations.

  • Don't break the rules of any other ongoing game in this thread.

  • Do not argue moderator actions in the game thread. If you want to dispute a ruling, do so via PM.


Voting and deadlines


Day
  • Days begin on Thursdays at ~6:30 am EDT and end on Tuesdays at ~6:30 am EDT. Nights accordingly begin on Tuesdays at ~6:30 am EDT and end on Thursdays at ~6:30 am EDT. This structure is necessary because power roles are tied to the weekly NFL results, and NFL games for a week usually start on Thursday night and conclude on Monday night.

  • Votes should be made via the vote tag: "[vote]<playername>[/vote]" or "[v]<playername>[/v]".
    Votes must be made at the beginning of a line
    (i.e. all the way to the left). I do manual VCs and that makes it easier for me. Shortened versions are OK as long as I can tell what it is. Don't play games with these rules. I may bend them as I see fit. My decision is final. Don't vote unless you mean it.

  • The game uses plurality voting
    . The player with the most votes at the end of phase will be lynched. You may also vote for No Lynch. If a majority is reached before the end of phase, nothing happens. There is no lynch. People may continue to vote and unvote as always. This is necessary due to the NFL game week as noted above. In the case of a tie between No Lynch and one or more players, there is no lynch. In a tie between one or more players, the player who reached his current vote count earliest will be lynched.
Night
  • During the night, you should be unable to post in the public game thread. If for some reason you are able, doing so is still against the rules.

  • Night actions by town should be submitted via PM.

  • Mafia kills and night actions should be posted in bold in the Mafia PT. Mafia may choose not to kill, either explicitly or by failing to submit a kill.


Activity requirements

  • Players who do not reply within
    48 hours
    of receiving their role PM will be replaced.

  • Players who do not post for
    24 hours
    in a single game-day will be prodded at the request of another player.

  • Players who do not post for
    24 hours
    following a prod will be replaced.

  • Players who incur three prods will be replaced.

  • If for any reason you are temporarily unable to meet these requirements, you may declare V/LA status for up to three days at a time. V/LA declarations must include a definite end date. V/LA must be set in your profile so that it shows up in the Activity Overview.

  • These activity rules are stricter than usual due to the short phases.

Game Mechanics


1. Each player will select an NFL team as explained in the next post.

2. An NFL week runs from Thursday to Monday. Each Tuesday morning, day phase will end. I will rank the teams of all living players in the following order: teams who won that week, ordered by number of points scored highest to lowest; followed by teams who tied that week, ordered by number of points scored highest to lowest; followed by teams who lost that week, ordered by number of points scored highest to lowest.

3. The players who are first, second, and last on this list get a chance at a power role. In the event of a tie, all tied players get a chance. Each must submit three roles (in order of preference) from the list below to me via PM by Tuesday at 6:30 PM.

4. The first place team gets first selection, followed by second place and last place.

5. The player will win the highest preferred role on their list which has not been previously awarded. If all three choices were previously awarded, the player gets no role. THe public list below will not note which roles have been taken.

6. Active 1X abilities: The player may choose to use the ability that night, or save it for a future night.

7. Passive 1X abilities: These are always on until used, e.g. a player with BP will deflect the first bullet targeted at them. They don't need to choose to enable the BP on a particular night.

8. A player has the attributes of a role on a night if he has the ability to use it that night. Example: Player A (who is town) wins Cop N1 but doesn't use it until N2. If Player A is investigated by a Gunsmith on N1 or N2, the result will be Gun. If player A is investigated by the Gunsmith on N3 or later, the result is No Gun. This of course assumes that player A wins no other abilities that include a gun.

9. Anyone can win any role regardless of their alignment. For example, a townie can win encryptor or a scum can win cop.

ROLES


1X Active

Cop
Gunsmith

1X Passive

Other

Setup

The game is 10:3. Mafia may talk during pregame and nights only unless a power role gives them day talk.

THE DRAFT


You must draft an NFL team. Your team may give you a chance to win a power role as explained above.

In case you don't know much about the NFL, here's a projection of wins by team from one newspaper:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/n ... 500328001/

New England Patriots 16

Atlanta Falcons 12

Green Bay Packers 12

Pittsburgh Steelers 12
Tennessee Titans 12
Dallas Cowboys 11

Oakland Raiders 11

Seattle Seahawks 11

Arizona Cardinals 10
New York Giants 10
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10

Baltimore Ravens 9
Los Angeles Chargers 9
Minnesota Vikings 9

Philadelphia Eagles 9
Houston Texans 8
Jacksonville Jaguars 8
Kansas City Chiefs 8

New Orleans Saints 8

Carolina Panthers 7
Denver Broncos 7
Miami Dolphins 7
Chicago Bears 5
Cincinnati Bengals 5
Detroit Lions 5
Indianapolis Colts 5
Washington Redskins 5
Buffalo Bills 4
Cleveland Browns 4

Los Angeles Rams 4
San Francisco 49ers 4

New York Jets 1


Once the player before you makes a valid selection, you will have 12 hours to make your selection. You can make your selection by:

1. Naming the team in thread in bold;
2. Sending me a list in preferred order via PM; or
3. Tell me via PM to take the best (or worst!) available team from the list above.
4. If you don't do anything, you get
the best available team from the list above
a random unpicked team
.

Draft order:

EeveeLution Army - Seattle Seahawks
dramonic - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
TwoInAMillion - New England Patriots
mozamis - Dallas Cowboys
Thor665 - Minnesota Vikings
gerryoat - New York Jets
Ellibereth - Kansas City Chiefs
Desperado - Cleveland Browns
ActionDan - Green Bay Packers
Assemblerotws - Oakland Raiders
Drixx - Atlanta Falcons
Chesskid3 - San Francisco 49ers
Mathblade - New Orleans Saints

Thread is open for drafting and pre-game talk.

Do NOT vote for anyone at this time.

If the draft goes quickly, we may get a day phase in this week. If not, we'll start D1 next week.

Is that also not a complete role list? Do more roles get added later? If we suggest a role in thread, will it be added?
I'll give you a moment to let that sink in

The numbers were pre-season predicted win totals. There's already a lot of teams way out of expectations. I wouldn't use that list as a guide honestly.

For example: the Patriots lost their top receiver for the year after that article was written. Then their 2nd receiver suffered a concussion on week 1. Their defensive captain was also injured week 1 and remains questionable (huge noticeable impact on defensive performance with him out). Their superstar special teams guy is out for indeterminate time (seriously ... this guy makes the pro bowl every year as a special teams only guy; the last guy like that was Steve Tasker from the early 90s Bills teams). Gronkowski is maybe injured (what's new?), etc...

Meanwhile Kansas City is wildly outperforming expectations and should end up with far more than the 8 projected wins on that list, and it would be a miracle if the Giants manage 6 wins the way they've played the first two weeks.

It's unclear. I would like to start this week if possible but if we can't get the draft done before the start of the Thursday night game we'll probably have to wait until next week. We'll play it by ear. Players are free to voice their opinions.

My opinion is I would like to draft each week based on knowing the matchups, so if we feel this might take too long I'm ok having everyone submit a list of up to their 13 teams in order they want to draft (based on position) so we know we are drafting for what week

It's just a start. I wanted to get the game up fast to hopefully get going for NFL week 3. I'm going to add more. Players are encouraged to make suggestions but I decide what gets added. With up to three roles awarded each day phase we want 20+ roles up there.
