Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.

Welcome to my table! Go ahead, take a seat. The house has a lovely game in store for you folks. And may I just say, by the looks of who's here, I believe you have a quite the game in store for us.
Corruption, you say?
Reports of foul play at this establishment are greatly exaggerated, I assure you. Allow me to shuffle the cards and we'll begin.
Just remember: Liars never win, and cheaters never prosper. For if one prospers...
who dares to call it cheating
?

This will be taken very seriously. Do not discuss this game outside of the game thread or other games outside of their game threads unless your role PM specifically states that you can. If you aren't sure whether something is okay to say, read the link or consult me.
2.
Do not use secret code, hidden text, or other such cryptography in the game thread
, as this constitutes discussion outside the game thread.
3.
Do not bring in outside influences into the game
such as bets, promises, trust tells, etc.
4.
Do not quote any communications with or from me, the moderator
. You may paraphrase. If you're not sure whether it's okay, ask me.
5.
Don't be a jerk.
Use common sense. Abusive behavior, game-irrelevant harassment, slurs, and threats will not be tolerated. You should play to win, but you should also be considerate to the other humans playing this game. Breaking this rule in particular can make things very unfun. I do not want to see that happen.
♠ Game-Specific Rules
1.
I am the mod.
I reserve the right to change or add rules, and will inform the players of this. I reserve the right to make the final decision in problematic circumstances and rules infractions, potentially including force replacements, or modkills with or without warning.
2.
I am a fair mod.
PM me ASAP if you see a mod error or a rules break. I will do my best to fix things. No matter what the flavor says, I guarantee fairness and non-bastardness.
3.
Do not pretend to break the rules.
I will treat this as actually breaking a rule.
4.
If your account is not listed, do not post in the game thread.
If you post from the wrong account, I expect you to correct this ASAP.
5.
When dead, you may have one game-irrelevant substanceless "Bah!" post
. Do not reveal any information or otherwise post once you're dead.
♦ Activity Expectations
6.
This game is a commitment.
Please treat it as such. If you need to go V/LA, just let us know
in bold
and mark it in your profile. Otherwise, prods will be issued every 2-day period without game-relevant posting. If you don't respond or I keep having to prod you, I will replace you.
7.
Play the game.
"Prod-dodging" every 47.9 hours does not constitute treating this game as a commitment. I expect game-relevant posts and reasonable activity (daily is fine), and will give warnings and prods to players that do not appear to be playing the game in good faith.
8.
Do not spam or clutter the thread.
Please keep low-quality game-irrelevant posting to a minimum. If a large number of posts are irrelevant, it impacts me, other players, and potential replacements.
I am willing to give out warnings and replacements for excessive spam/clutter
. Multiposting is okay. Multiposting without substance to rack up your post count or claim a page top is not okay.
♣ Day and Night Rules
9.
The Day phase will last (number of players alive + 1) real life days.
If there are 5 players alive, the deadline is 6 days. Extensions of at least 2 days for replacements.
10.
Voting
: Use the vote tags (VOTE: Mathdino) or the bold tags (
Vote: Mathdino
). Misspellings, shortenings, and abbreviations are okay.
Broken tags won't count.
Don't test my willingness to count your vote.
11.
Unvoting
: Use the unvote tag (UNVOTE: Mathdino) or the bold tags (
Unvote: Mathdino
). You do not need to unvote.
12.
Majority lynch
. When a majority is voting a particular player, votes and unvotes will no longer be counted. You may continue posting in a "Twilight" phase until I lock the thread.
13.
No lynch
: No lynch will occur if there is no majority by the deadline. You may also vote "No Lynch". When 50% of players vote "No Lynch", the day will end immediately.
14.
The Night phase will last 48 hours
. The timer will be put on hold if I need to find a replacement.
15.
You may send and resend night actions from thread lock to the Night deadline.
If you resend an action, I will count the most recent one.
♥ Miscellaneous
16.
OOC text will be my mod color
.
I may edit posts or post responses in the game thread like this to differentiate myself.
Do not use it!
17.
IF YOU NEED ME TO SEE SOMETHING, BOLD IT.
Ideally use
@Mod
or
@Mathdino
. You may ask for vote counts, replacement, V/LA, prods on other players, rules clarifications, and setup clarifications at any point within reason. I guarantee some kind of response.
18.
This is a game, remember to have fun!
Remember that as mafia is a social/debate game, it's okay to attack people's play, but it's never okay to attack the person. It's just a game. Play nice.

Alright, here's the deal (heh). At this table, we play Stack the Deck. 13 seats: 10 belong to
townies
, 2 belong to
mafia goons
, and 1 belongs to a
mafia traitor
(who knows the identity of both mafia). I will deal out the following role PMs first:
Spoiler: Vanilla Townie
Welcome, [PLAYERNAME], to Open 711! You are a
Vanilla Townie
. You currently have no special abilities. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and at least one town player is alive.
The game thread is here. Please confirm your role and alignment via PM.
Spoiler: Mafia Goon
Welcome, [PLAYERNAME], to Open 711! You are a
Mafia Goon
, along with your partner in crime, [PLAYERNAME]. You have a mafia private topic that you may use pre-game and at night, [LINK]. In addition, you know that a mafia traitor exists, but you do not know their identity. You win when all town players have been eliminated or nothing can prevent this from happening.
Before the game begins, your faction may select up to three of the following abilities:
- Make a Goon Bulletproof
- Make a Goon into a Role Cop
- Make a Goon into a JOAT (1-shot Strongman, 1-shot Ninja)
- Gain factional daytalk (passive ability)
- Recruit the Traitor as a Goon
For each ability you choose, the town will gain an additional ability.
The game thread is here. Please confirm your role and alignment via PM.
Spoiler: Mafia Traitor
Welcome, [PLAYERNAME], to Open 711! You are a
Mafia Traitor
. You know that [PLAYERNAME] and [PLAYERNAME] are Mafia Goons, but they do not know your identity. You have a one-shot bulletproof ability if you are not recruited, and will take over the factional kill if both Mafia Goons die. You will become a Mafia Goon if you are recruited pregame. You win when all town players have been eliminated or nothing can prevent this from happening.
The game thread is here. Please confirm your role and alignment via PM.
During the pre-game phase, mafia will have the option to "stack the deck" with up to 3 of the following abilities:
- Make a Goon Bulletproof
- Make a Goon into a Role Cop
- Make a Goon into a JOAT (1-shot Strongman, 1-shot Ninja)
- Gain factional daytalk (passive ability)
- Recruit the Traitor as a Goon
The catch: Town will get two power roles to start with. For every ability mafia selects, I'll deal out an extra power role to the town, to a maximum of 5. The possible power roles:
- Goon Cop
- Roleblocker
- Tracker
- Bodyguard
- Vigilante
- Innocent Child (revealed at Day 1 start)
Power Role PMs:
Spoiler: Goon Cop
[PLAYERNAME], you are now a
Goon Cop
! Each night you may target a player. You will receive a result of "Goon", "Not a Goon" or "No Result". You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and at least one town player is alive.
Please confirm your new role via PM.
Spoiler: Roleblocker
[PLAYERNAME], you are now a
Roleblocker
! Each night you may target a player. They will be prevented from performing any actions for the night. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and at least one town player is alive.
Please confirm your new role via PM.
Spoiler: Tracker
[PLAYERNAME], you are now a
Tracker
! Each night you may target a player. You will be informed who, if anyone, they targeted during the night. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and at least one town player is alive.
Please confirm your new role via PM.
Spoiler: Bodyguard
[PLAYERNAME], you are now a
Bodyguard
! Each night you may target a player. If they would die during the night, you will die in their place. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and at least one town player is alive.
Please confirm your new role via PM.
Spoiler: Vigilante
[PLAYERNAME], you are now a
Vigilante
! Each night you may target a player to attempt to kill. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and at least one town player is alive.
Please confirm your new role via PM.
Spoiler: Innocent Child
[PLAYERNAME], you are now an
Innocent Child
! You will be confirmed town to the rest of the game upon the start of Day 1. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and at least one town player is alive.
Please confirm your new role via PM.
Spoiler: Mafia Bulletproof
[PLAYERNAME], you are now a
Mafia Bulletproof
! Your partner(s) in crime is/are [PLAYERNAME(S)]. You are now immune to all nightkills. You win when all town players have been eliminated or nothing can prevent this from happening.
As a reminder, your mafia private topic is [LINK]. Please confirm your new role via PM.
Spoiler: Mafia Role Cop
[PLAYERNAME], you are now a
Mafia Role Cop
! Your partner(s) in crime is/are [PLAYERNAME(S)]. Each night you may target a player. You will learn what, if any, role they may have. You win when all town players have been eliminated or nothing can prevent this from happening.
As a reminder, your mafia private topic is [LINK]. Please confirm your new role via PM.
Spoiler: Mafia JOAT
[PLAYERNAME], you are now a
Mafia Jack-Of-All-Trades
! Your partner(s) in crime is/are [PLAYERNAME(S)].
Once during any night you may add a ninja modifier to your kill. This kill will be unable to be tracked.
Once during any night you may add a strongman modifier to your kill. This kill will be unable to be blocked by any method.
You win when all town players have been eliminated or nothing can prevent this from happening.
As a reminder, your mafia private topic is [LINK]. Please confirm your new role via PM.
Spoiler: Recruited Goon
[PLAYERNAME], you are now a
Mafia Goon
! Your partners in crime are [PLAYERNAME(S)]. You now have access to a mafia private topic that you may use [at night/at any time], [LINK]. You may also perform the factional kill. You win when all town players have been eliminated or nothing can prevent this from happening.
Please confirm your new role via PM.
Note: Mafia Role PMs differ slightly dependent on whether the Traitor was Recruited or whether daytalk is enabled.
No player will receive more than one modification. The sole exception is the traitor, who may be Recruited and gain an additional ability. No modification will be dealt to more than one player. Mafia is able to use individual abilities and perform the factional kill in the same night.
Once mafia has selected their abilities, I will shuffle (randomize) the power roles and re-deal them to applicable players. If you do not receive a new role, then your role remains the same. The game will begin after final confirmation of new roles.
Good luck. You may need it.

I'm offended. Just ensuring a fair game for everyone here. After all, we can't have cheaters in the mix, can we?
If you're in such a rush, go ahead. Cut the deck and we'll get started.
New Role PMs have been distributed, subject title "♥ ♠ Open 711 Role PM 2 ♣ ♦". The game will begin in (expired on 2018-01-18 12:00:00). Remember to confirm!
All PMs have been picked up with confirmations as necessary.

Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?
