Civilization Mafia Signups! [Game Ended]

What To Expect From Civilization Mafia

Spoiler: The Design Philosophy Behind This Setup
The core design philosophy behind this game was a setup in which I achieve two goals which are frequently at odds with each other. The first goal was the preserve the sense of discovery and awe that comes with becoming engrossed in a new setup, especially a large theme. The second goal was the reduce the amount of speculation that needed to go into the game on the part of the players. Too often I feel theme games are bogged down by consideration of various mechanical possibilities, discussions of what the mod would or wouldn't do, et cetera. Civilization Mafia strives to achieve both of these goals via a system that blurs the line between closed and open setup. Rather than having everything revealed at the start, or nothing absolutely confirmed until death scenes or the very end, each day more and more of the setup is unlocked. And as this occurs, all the new possibilities are revealed. You will enter the setup knowing nothing, but as the game evolves, players will always be aware of the full scope of possibilities the game presents even as the setup evolves.

Monuments Honoring the Gods

Spoiler: Stifled Draft System
There are no power roles inherent to any slot in Civilization Mafia.
Instead, roles are distributed through a draft system which takes place over the course of the entire game.
Each day, a new era of history is entered, and with it a list of buildable "Wonders".
Wonders are great buildings which impart a power role to whoever is successful in constructing it first.


The World Congress

Spoiler: Public Resolution Mechanic
Each day begins with a 7 day max resolution phase, in which a public resolution is put on the table with its full mechanics explained for players to vote on.
These resolutions have a variety of possible public effects which will alter the game in some way.
Resolutions must be voted on before votes to lynch are cast.


Rules & Mechanics

I reserve the right to modify these rules at any time. I will inform you if this happens during the course of the game.

Spoiler: Common Rules
>
All site rules apply here.
>
No quoting any private mod communication, including your role PM, or contents of private topics. You can paraphrase.
>
If you have the ability to edit, please refrain from doing so.
>
Do not discuss this game outside game related threads while it is ongoing. This includes contacting players of the game via Private Messaging or other outside communication.
>
Do not discuss other ongoing games in this game thread unless the mechanics of that game allow such (I would appreciate it if you let me know in advance if this is the case as well).
>
When dealing with rules infractions or other problems, I will always seek the solution that is least invasive to the game state. That said, infractions may result in anything from a warning to your slot being force replaced or you being modkilled, depending on the severity and nature of the offense.
>
Please be respectful of all other players as well as myself. I am fragile.
>
No angle shooting. Play in the spirit of the game. I shouldn't need to clarify this further.

Spoiler: Game Conduct Rules
>
My color is
#FF6FF2
. Don't use it, or any similar shade really.
>
Questions for me may be made either via PM or in the thread. If you ask a question in thread, please ensure you bold your question and begin with it with the tag "@mod" so I am more likely to notice it.
>
Please do not use provable randomness (such as the dice tag) in thread. You may SAY you used randomization, but not prove it.
>
No ciphers, encryption, extremely small text, or other similar tactics.
>
Do not threaten to abandon the game as a response to in game actions. Doing so will result in an immediate force replace if not modkill.
>
If you notice an error in my moderating, you are free to point it out in the game thread. However, please also message me privately so that I notice and can amend the error as soon as possible.
>
PLEASE do not make reference to meta formed in other games still ongoing, no matter how discreet you attempt to be about it.
>
Do not make reference in game to any sort of moderator communication with the exception of game mechanics related communication.

Spoiler: Inactivity and V/LA (Vacation/Limited Access) Guidelines
>
I prod after 48 hours of inactivity and begin seeking replacement after another 24 hours.
>
If you receive more than three prods, I will immediately begin seeking replacement.
>
Please inform me
directly via PM
of any V/LA. If you don't do this, I'm not responsible if I don't notice you're on V/LA and prod you during it.
>
If you have regular V/LA periods (such as being unavailable on weekends) please inform me pre-game and I will take this into account.

Spoiler: Gameplay Rules
>
This setup was reviewed by Varsoon, Frozen Angel, Firebringer, and inspectorscout. I cannot guarantee balance, though we have strived for it.
>
Deadline modifications not ordained by the mechanics of the game itself will be granted rarely, only to accommodate for replacements, or in other extreme circumstances such as site downtime.
>
Votes must be made with either
bold
or VOTE:  tags. Votes not cast in this way
will not be counted
.
>
Lynches are based on majority. As soon as a majority of alive players votes for a single slot, they will immediately be lynched and the game will progress to the night phase. Between when the final vote needed to lynch is cast and I process the lynch and progress the game to night, you may discuss the game in thread but take no actions.
>
If no majority is achieved by the end of a day phase, the vote will default to no lynch.
>
By default, anti-town factions possess factional night chat only. However, actions, including build requests, submitted by members of factional threads will be posted immediately in said thread.
>
By default, players may use as many abilities as they have access to during any single phase.
>
This game uses Natural Action Resolution.

Spoiler: Mechanics & Draft Rules
>
Each 2 week day phase will be broken into two parts, the resolution phase and the lynch phase.
>
During the Resolution Phase, players will vote on a public resolution. A maximum of 1 week is allotted for this phase, with plurality deciding resolution votes should no majority be reached.
>
After a majority is reached or a week has passed in the resolution phase, the day will move on to the lynch phase. The deadline of the lynch phase will always be 2 weeks after the day phase began (meaning if you decide on a resolution fast, you have more time to reach a lynch).
>
At the beginning of each resolution phase, a list of Wonders available to be built will be posted corresponding to the current era. Players may submit & modify build requests until the end of the day via PM.
>
Players may only submit a single build request per phase, and may only successfully build a single wonder over the course of the game.
>
Players will be informed if they succeeded or failed in building a wonder immediately following the end of the day, when build requests resolve.
>
All players have been privately assigned a priority value which they are unaware of. This value determines who successfully builds a Wonder if multiple people submit a build request for the same structure.
>
If a player opts to submit no build request during a specific era, they will be moved to the top of the priority list.
>
If multiple players opt to submit no build request during a specific era, the one who was previously highest on the list will be moved to the very top, and so on.

Spoiler: Sample Role PM
Welcome, [PLAYER], to Civilization Mafia!

You are aligned with Civilization (town).

Your people have at long last decided to cease their lives as nomads and settle down. This is the first step towards the creation of a mighty empire! You alone have been entrusted to lead this new state in its quest to establish a glorious legacy for its people. This journey will not be without trials, as there are those who seek to destroy what you have established, and lay waste to those ideals you strive towards. Will you succeed in defending your people and your country from this threat? Can you build a civilization that will stand the test of time?


You win when all non-Civilization aligned players have been eliminated from the game, and at least one Civilization aligned player remains.

/confirm that my threats are backed by nuclear weapons
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
