rules.

behaviour.

•

Site-wide rules always apply here.

•

This is my color (#4040FF).

Do not use it or attempt to impersonate me otherwise.
• If you have a question for me, you can always PM me. If asking in-thread, please bold your question so I can locate it more easily.

•

Do not talk about this or other ongoing games outside of their official thread(s).

•

Once you're dead, you're dead— no more posting!

• Do not use hidden/encrypted text (such as invisible/small font, or other languages), or non-dark colors (only the default theme automatically changes colors to make all text readable).
• Do not use provable randomization. Saying that you rolled a die is fine; using the dice tag is not.

•

Being nice is cool.

Remember that Mafia is a game! Aim to win, but you should know if you've crossed a line.

timeline.

• One game Day lasts

2 real weeks (14 real days)

.
• One game Night lasts

2 real days (48 real hours)

.
• These may be extended as necessary— usually for replacements.

• A player who goes 48 hours without posting, or 24 hours without posting after their V/LA ends (to the approximate hour), will be prodded.
• A player who goes 24 hours without posting (or replying by PM if it is Night) after a prod will be replaced.
• A player who has been prodded at least 3 times may be replaced without warning.
• If you will be on Vacation/Limited Access, please let me know by saying so, bolded, in the thread. You will not be prodded while V/LA.

voting/actions.

• During the Day, all living players can post and vote for who they want to be lynched, or they may vote for a No Lynch.
• You control your vote through the

bold

, or VOTE: vote and UNVOTE: unvote, tags.

Spoiler: Voting Tag Samples

Code: Select all

[b]Vote: Bins[/b]
[b]Unvote: Bins[/b]

   OR

[vote]Bins[/vote]       [v]Bins[/v]
[unvote]Bins[/unvote]   [uv]Bins[/uv]

• An unvote is not required to change your vote.
• If it looks like a vote, I will count it; no tricks!
• Votes in quotes and spoilers will not be counted; your vote must be clearly yours and easily noticeable by scrolling.

• Lynch happens when half of the players + 1 vote the same person. Once lynch happens, the lynchee and the living players may talk in "Twilight" until I arrive and post the flip.
• If the deadline hits before a majority vote is reached, the day will end with No Lynch.

• During the Night, you may not post in the game thread, even if I have not yet locked it.
• If your role has a Night action, you may use it by PMing me which player(s) you wish to use your action(s) on.
• If you do not submit a Night action, it will count as No Action.

• A Mafia Roleblocker's action will resolve before a Town Jailkeeper's action.

[Huntress]

Hi everyone! I am the Inexperience-Challenged (IC) player in this game. Basically it means that if at any time you have any questions (not related to your role) about game mechanics, mafia theory or about anything that is happening in the game, feel free to ask and I will answer them to the best of my ability. Some things I may have to give a partial answer for because of the game being ongoing. If that happens I will let you know and will make a note to come back to it after the game is over. If you have any questions related to your role then please send a PM to the mod as these should not be asked in game.

I guarantee that I will not lie about theory and practice regardless of my alignment, and my alignment is randomized along with everyone else's so I could be either town or mafia.

I highly recommend reading Fonzie's Guide to Early Game Survival for Newbies. Good for not-so-new players too!

Usually, once the game has officially begun, we start the game with the

Random Voting Stage (RVS)

, where we vote for randomish reasons. The purpose of this is to immediately get people talking about things and to help get the game moving. Not everyone votes in their first post as you'll see when playing or reading more games. I sometimes do and sometimes don't. RVS tends to go on for a page or so until someone finds something worth following up.

Some people prefer to start with a Random Question Stage (RQS) instead, where they ask everyone to reply to a set of questions which may or may not appear relevant to the game. The danger of this is that players may inadvertantly say something which gives a clue to their role. (And be wary because some questioners may actually be fishing for this!)

Vote, but don't quicklynch!

If your vote puts someone at L-1 (only one more vote needed to lynch), then say so. The next person who wants to vote that person should declare intent to hammer and ask for a claim before making the final vote. We don't have a fixed-length Day phase here so the Day ends as soon as a majority, in this case five votes, is reached. The deadline is only there to stop the day going on too long.

If you want to refer to other games that's fine

as long as they are over

.

Never talk about other ongoing games.

I'll add more stuff as we go along but the best way to learn is from experience so jump in, keep active (try for at least one post a day), and have fun!

That IC intro wall though. VOTE: bubblecube

[bubblecube]

good morning everyone! let's have a great game

i've never seen Aladdin either

Vote: BlueGenie

[BlueGenie]

OMG! So many votes against an innocent Genie
Well, you didn't watch Aladdin.. not my fault! But guess what, I haven't seen it either
It can't be me 'cos what harm can an inexperienced, innocent newbie cause? Moreover I chose

Genie

before the roles were even assigned. So no reason to vote against me.
Voctus voting for self.. now that's something fishy.. I'm gonna VOTE: Voctus

[Huntress]

... what harm can an inexperienced, innocent newbie cause?

But I like 11 so:

Vote: Voctus

Self-voting in RVS implies you want to avoid making connections or treading on people's toes.

[Huntress]

@ Pyra:

Why bubblecube rather than BlueGenie or Voctus?

[Draynth]

It can't be me 'cos what harm can an inexperienced, innocent newbie cause?

This feels like a setup for a potential 'newbie mistake' later in the game, maybe I'm just cynical

[Voctus]

... what harm can an inexperienced, innocent newbie cause?

But I like 11 so:

Vote: Voctus

Self-voting in RVS implies you want to avoid making connections or treading on people's toes.

You raise a good point, that wasn't very helpful.

VOTE: bubblecube because not watching Aladdin is a bad reason to bandwagon plus that movie is a classic

[Draynth]

Well I guess those 2 are going to be replaced.
@Huntress, do you agree or disagree with 14?

[Draynth]

Oh wait they have until tomorrow, I'm dumb

[bubblecube]

It can't be me 'cos what harm can an inexperienced, innocent newbie cause?

I relate to this post a bit too much

Unvote: BlueGenie

I don't know how to quote multiple posts, so

@Voctus Don't blame me for living under a rock >.<

[Huntress]

Well I guess those 2 are going to be replaced.
@Huntress, do you agree or disagree with 14?

As I indicated in 12, by using the IGMEOU emote, it's a wait and see thing.


Yes, the missing newbies will likely be replaced as they haven't been back to the site since they first signed up.

[Huntress]

I don't know how to quote multiple posts, so

If you use the Q+ button at the top right of the post it will accumulate the quotes until you press either the quote or the reply button. Or you can do what I do and build up your post in a separate tab, just copying each quote in as you come to it.

Main thing to remember with quotes is to just quote the part of the post you are replying to. Don't quote the whole post unless it's all relevant. If you highlight the part of the text you want, then press quote, it'll only quote that part.

Oh right, I think I got confused when you used the emoji but then said you liked the post, I understand what you meant now

I've been on MS for over 2 years and just now learnt that is a thing, holy crap

[Huntress]

I think it took me longer than that before I found out about it.

Problem is, it doesn't handle tags well, so I often still need to quote the whole thing and edit out the unwanted bits.

[Bins]

I'll pull two newbies from the queue to replace.
