The Bard has heard a distressing rumor. His plans for a summer full of play performances may come to naught at any moment. He's learned that a rival playwright has suborned a few members of the Globe Theatre Troupe who intend to sabotage the season's plays.

Rules:


In-Game Behavior


1.
Site Rules are in effect. Please familiarize yourself and follow them.


2. Posts consisting purely of insults without game content are not tolerated. I penalize such posts with a strike. Three strikes and you're out. Severe issues will be reported to the listmods.

3. Claiming scum is allowed. Claiming scum with another player (whether as a joke or not) will result in severe consequences for you, and consequences for your team.

4. Play towards your win condition. Gambits are fine, directly harming your own team is not.

5. Loophole abuse is not tolerated.

6. Have fun!


Voting and Deadlines:



1. Voting must be bolded in the form
Vote: Player
- bold tags

Code: Select all

[b]Vote: Player[/b]
or

VOTE: Player vote tags

Code: Select all

[vote]Player[/vote]


or else they will not be counted. Unvotes are not required to change your vote, but they are helpful. Please note: I'm using an automated vote counter.
If you don't use the vote tags, be sure to add a colon after the word "Vote".


2. Votes inside of spoiler tags will not be counted.

3. I don't mind if you use nicknames/abbreviations when you vote someone. But if I have no idea who you're voting for, then the vote won't be counted. Please note: the vote counting application may be more finicky about nicknames than I am. If you notice that your vote hasn't been recorded, please let me know.

4. Eliminations require a majority of votes: (number of living players/2) +1, rounded down.

5. If there's no majority at deadline, there's no elimination.

6. When the hammer vote is cast, all players, including the eliminated may talk freely until the final vote count and eliminated player's card-flip have been posted. If the thread is not locked, it's ok for you to post unless I've specified that it is not ok.

7. Deadlines are set at 10 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements near deadline, or under other extraordinary circumstances (e.g., site outages, major holidays).

8. Nights will last 48+ hours, rounded up to the nearest midnight or noon US Eastern Time.



Prods and Replacements:


Replacing Out: If you need to replace out of this game, send me a private message about it. Do NOT post that you want to be replaced, or that you have asked to be replaced in the game thread.
I will acknowledge your replacement request by replying to your PM. From that time forward, you are out of the game. Do not make any posts in the game thread.

This is a site rule that can entail penalties if broken. It applies to all mafia games at Mafiascum.net unless the game moderator explicitly states otherwise.



1. Prods will be given if you do not post in
48 hours
.

2. You will be replaced if you either do not respond to a prod, or (at my discretion) if you need to be prodded more than 3 times total. You may request for a player to be prodded at any time. Prods requested when a player has been absent for less than 48 hours do not count for replacement purposes.

3. If you are V/LA (on vacation/have limited access), make sure I know. If you are V/LA for more than a week, I suggest requesting replacement, but it's not required, unless you are not able to post at all. If a lengthy V/LA is adversely affecting the game (e.g., if you are not able to post minimally during that time), then I may replace you without penalty.



Misc.



1. Dark Blue (#004080) is the color I will use for mod posts. Please don’t use this color or otherwise try to make your posts look like mod posts.

2. You can talk about the game in the private threads given to you via PM, assuming you were given one. Otherwise, please refrain from talking about this game outside of this thread, and don't talk about other games inside of this game. This is a sitewide rule. See announcement here.


3. No editing, deleting, using invisible texts, write in code, using font sizes less than 70, etc...

4. Don't quote or reproduce any mod-received PMs or other private communications with me. Paraphrasing is permitted. Check with me if you're not sure whether something you want to post is within the rules.

5. Vocaroos, Youtubes, etc, may not be used to make game-content posts. e.g., do not record a vacoroo with your thoughts about the game and post it.

6. I make mistakes. If you notice I make one, please let me know.


7. Questions are vastly preferable to Modkills. If you're thinking about to do something that you're unsure is within the letter or spirit of these rules and the game of mafia, then ask me privately about it first.


8.
All
private threads inhabited by two or more slots will explicitly not be redacted. Post accordingly.


Image


Game Specific Rules


1. There will be a Dawn phase in this game that occurs after the night phase and night results have been posted and sent via PM. Dawn Phase may last up to 6 hours.

2. There will be a formal twilight phase that will last up to 6 hours after the elimination vote reaches majority. The player's flip will not be posted until the Twilight phase is over.

3. It's possible that one or both phases will be discontinued at some point during the game.

4 As is the nature of theatre, being dead does not mean you role in the play is over. No one will be invited to the Retirement Party until they have truly shuffled off this mortal coil. Avoid discussing the game with anyone, in the game or not, living or dead, once your flip has been posted.

5. Rolecards will be flipped upon player deaths. Some may require redactions. Those redactions will be noted with [REDACTED] replacing the removed text.

6. There is a unique mechanic in this game, which will be explained in the next post.

Gold Coins


ImageYour Role PM specifies the amount of your signing bonus and your wages for each game day. Payment occurs before Nightfall.

ImageYour Role PM may also specify something(s) you can buy that are unique to your role. And as you also know from your Role PM, there may be aspects of your role of which you are not currently aware.

ImageThere may be items for sale during a game day or night, but this game is not at heart a market style game. Actors need to eat, drink and be merry!

ImageThere will also occasionally be opportunities to gain extra coin. The rules for these opportunities will be explained at the start of the phase in which they occur.

ImageBeware! Where there is gold, there are thieves.

Sample Role PMWelcome!

Image

You are
Roderigo
, of
Othello
.


You are a dissolute Venetian with an unseemly interest in Othello's wife, Desdemona. You lavishly shower Iago with funds in the expectation that he will help you to Desdemona's bed. It doesn't work out and you wind up meeting a sword.


Your signing bonus for joining the Globe Theatre Troupe is:
1 gold coin
, and the Globe Theatre will pay you
1 gold coin
at the end of each game day. For more information about the
coins
, read this post carefully.

Image

Abilities:


All the world's a stage:
Your greatest abilities of all, your voice and your vote
I will make myself known to Desdemona:
Once during the game you can target target a player and write a message for me to deliver to them anonymously. If the player you send the message to is Desdemona, then you will gain a neighborhood with them for that Night.
Slings and Arrows:
You may suffer some.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind:
There may be other aspects of your role of which you are currently unaware.

The jewels you have had from me
  • With nought but truth. I have wasted myself out of my means.:
    You can buy one additional chance to find Desdemona. The cost will be
    3 gold coins
    .

Image

Win Condition


You win when all threats to
Loyal Cast Members
have been eliminated or nothing can prevent that from happening.

This is the Pregame Phase. Role PMs will go out during the next few hours. Please respond to your Role PM with your alignment
and the Dialog representing your 3rd ability
to confirm that you have received it.

You have 48 hours from the time I send you the Role PM to respond. If you cannot respond by then, I will seek a replacement.

Once 14 of the 17 players have confirmed via PM reply, OR 24 hours after all Role PMs have been sent, whichever comes first, the game will begin!

I'll update this post as we progress through Pregame.

Image

All Role PMs
will go out shortly
have gone out!

13 of 17 players have confirmed.

If you would like a personal or hydra PT, let me know and I'll create one for you. It will be up to you if you wish to make the PT public after the game ends.

We're at 13 of 17 now, and I'm about to call it a night. We'll probably get at least one more confirmation overnight. Either way, Day 1 will start in about (expired on 2021-10-24 12:08:03)

Welcome to the Globe Theatre my dear Troupe!


Though short as a summer's night it may seem
More busy than harvesters shall ye be
Below marvelous and hallowed theatre's beams
Ye shall be tested: skill and energy

Each day there is a new play to perform
Comedy today, Tragedy tomorrow
And then, a History our guests to inform
A hero, villain, goddess, fool, a beau

Any one of these, both leads and chorus,
Ye may declaim, recite and walk the boards
With gestures swept wide and stances valorous
With pure force of presence, astonish the hordes

'Tis a test of thy character and mettle
Wilt thou prevail? This question we must settle !


Thou hast an opportunity to earn one extra
gold coin
today. Be ye terse and it shall be thine. All in the Troupe who make fewer than 150 posts this game day shall earn it.
