General Rules

1. The Basics
   
   
2. All site-wide rules apply.
   
3. Play to your win condition.
   
4. Do not privately communicate with other players about this game, except where explicitly allowed.
   
5. Be respectful of other players; do not insult them. Attack the argument, not the person.
   
6. Do not quote your role PM; do not quote any private communication with other players. Do not pretend to quote your role PM or any private communication, as doing so will be treated as if you actually quoted them. Paraphrasing either of these is fine.
   
7. Do not use provable randomness.
   
8. Do not use cryptography, robust steganography, invisible text, etc.
   
9. As the moderator, I reserve the right to make any judgment call I deem fit, regardless of whether or not any explicit rule exists.

1. During the Day
   
   
2. Day phases will last 12 days.
   
3. During the day, votes must be posted with either
   bold tags
   or VOTE: tags. Don't try to get tricky; if it looks like a vote and is bolded, I will count it as a vote. Any attempt to abuse voting with trick votes or fake votes will be punished harshly.
   
4. When a majority of votes is reached, that player will be lynched. If no majority exists at deadline, no lynch will occur.
   
5. Prods will be issued upon 48 hours of inactivity; if unanswered after 24 hours, I will begin seeking a replacement. If the player posts in thread before a replacement is found, they will retain their spot.
   
6. I may or may not grant deadline extensions if asked.

1. During the Night
   
   
2. All nights will last 48 hours.
   
3. All night actions must be received by the deadline; if no action is received, or if an action is received after the deadline, no action will be taken.

1. Setup specifications
   
   
2. Unless otherwise specified, private topics are only open at night and for the first 48 hours of day 1.
   
3. Any mafia member who has a night action other than their nightkill may both use that action and kill on the same night.

Sample Role PM

Welcome to Mini Normal 1917, YOUR NAME COULD BE HERE!
You are a

Vanilla Townie

.
Your only powers are your voice and your vote.
You win when all anti-town players are dead and at least one town member is alive, or nothing can prevent the same.
Confirm by sending me a PM stating your role and alignment.

[implosion]

Let's go ahead and say that this will be my mod color, because :X.

Role PMs will be going out shortly! I will likely then be going to sleep so don't be alarmed if I don't update immediately. Game will begin when 11/13 have confirmed.

[implosion]

11/13 players have confirmed, and thus day one begins!

The deadline for day one will be Thursday, June 15th at 5:00 PM PST, in (expired on 2017-06-15 20:00:00).

Hey hey hey!
Nice to play with CCC and some other friends.
Tbh the person who most intrigues me is Klick since he is one of those guys who sticks to Mish Mash normally.

[Cheetory6]

Hey guys it's me
I'll be your Experienced Leader player for this game.
If you have any questions about how mafia works just let me know and I'll sure to get right back to you with some helpful mafia wisdom and advice haha!

The very first thing you should do in any mafia game is selfvote and continue to selfvote until you're dead.

Looking forward to playing with all of you!

[Cheetory6]

Actually there's one person that I'm not looking forward to playing with

B-but, Experienced Leader, if everybody self votes how are lynches met?!

I don't think there's a player on this playerlist that I'm not going to have an issue with, buddy.

5. What are you feeling as you enter this mini's D1?

1. I find scum makes me feel

really nervous

, especially early on in the game, so, probably town I think!
2. What kind of fucking question is this. I refuse to answer.
3. I try not to take anything into account when trying to form a read on someone. It's much better when your read is based on absolutely nothing imo.
4. DRK, Gamma and Accountant are all people I've had the misfortune of interacting with before this game.
5. I'm feeling

really nervous

!

Idk. I'm not your mom and dad.

1) Town. I get insanely nervous as mafia. I feel my winning strategy as mafia is "get lynch early and watch my team carry".
2) about a 3. I like to use my own reads rather than sheep other most of the time.
3) Fairly important. Some people have different maxims that may conflict with yours and you need to respect them.
4) Actually, Grendel.
5) I feel like the setup might be a little crazy given what happened last time I played with implosion.

haha, your funny Mr Cheetory.

Is there a particular reason you subverted the questionnaire?

I do intend to form some light reads off of these once I get more results btw. I won't get into too much right now so I don't sabotage the tells I'm looking for.

[Cheetory6]

I was worried that you might get something AI off of me if I answered it seriously.

So glad I got Town.

1. Ima be honest. I'm not sure. Either one feels like a role when you consider the fact that Town go after Town more than they do mafia. Even as Town, I still need to get people to believe I'm Town and keep mafia from wanting to night kill me. In some ways, I think playing as mafia is easier for people that are good at playing people against each other and can be consistent at the same time. Either way, we're all playing roles.

2. ...depends on a lot of things. Some people will get ideas about other players and go after them the whole game, only to find out they were town. I don't collaborate with those people. I also prefer to keep my cards close to my chest and vote when I see weird interactions happening. I think other Townies won't like this because it means I'm going to vote more on intuition and not going with the wagon if I feel reservations about the lynch.

3. I don't think it really matters much. Anybody can play any way they like and it doesn't mean someone is mafia just because they don't fit a certain personality or role that is typical for a Townie. How people behave and read one another can start to show some patterns, especially when other players make reads with weird or somewhat random logic and buddy up in ways that don't follow the progression of the game very well.

4. None. I haven't played this in a long time. Wanted to try again; had a bad experience before with people getting mad at each other and stuff. Just want to play without too much of that. We'll see what happens I guess.

5. Excitement. Roleplaying and mystery is fun.
