You know that the Mafia has infiltrated your small town. In fact, the town only has eleven members. You'd think that would make it easy to root out them out by just finding who arrived soonest, but that would make too much sense. Your town doesn't like Italians, and despite the fact that they've done nothing to you, you decide to gather all around in a circle and lynch each other one by one until they equal or outnumber the rest of the town or until they're all dead. I don't think it's a good plan, myself, but then I'm just the omnipresent, omniescent narrator. You guys have fun.


Game Status: Day 8.

Living players: 4/11.

Rules

1) A majority of the votes is required to lynch a player. Votes are made in the format
Vote: Playername
. Votes that are not in this format will not count. Unvoting (in the format
Unvote
) before voting another player is appreciated but not mandatory.

2) During the Day phase, players will discuss and vote until a player has been lynched. You can vote for there to be no lynch, using the format
Vote: No Lynch
, but this also requires a majority of votes.

3) Once the vote required to reach a majority for a lynch has been cast, that lynch (or lack thereof) is set in stone. Unvoting will not undo the lynch, and the game will enter the Twilight phase.

4) During the Twilight phase, players (including any player whose lynch has been decided) are still allowed to discuss, but votes will be ignored. The Twilight phase has an indeterminate length of time, as it is simply the length of time between the actual lynching vote, and the death scene/thread lock.

5) Because this is a Nightless game, Day follows Twilight.

6) Any player who becomes inactive will be prodded after three days (weekends counting as one day), and will be replaced if there are no posts after five days of inactivity (weekends counting as one day). If I am unable to find a replacement after ten days, that player will be modkilled.

7) If you know you will be inactive for more than a two-day period (weekends counting as one day), please inform me either in thread or by sending me a PM. Posting in the V/LA thread is meaningless because I don't read it. As a general rule, absences of less than a week are alright, while longer absences will require a replacement.

8) I may set a deadline. In case of a deadline being reached without a lynch occurring, if any player has at least a majority of a majority (the majority is half of the players, rounded up. Take that number, cut it in half, and round up, and you've got the majority of a majority) of living players voting for him/her, the player with the most votes will be lynched. In case of a tie, the player who has most recently had that number of votes on him for the longest period will be lynched. (In other words, first come first served).

9) Do not discuss this game outside this thread, unless you have a role which allows this. If you have a role that allows you to discuss this game outside this thread, do so only as the role PM allows you to.

10) Once you're dead, don't post. Period. Not even a "Bah" post.

11)
Red
is my official moderating color. Don't use it.

12) If you want to get my attention, it helps if you use bold and capitalization, as in "
MOD
: Can we get a votecount?" For the record, I'll be editing in votecounts at the top of every page.

13) Don't piss me off. This rule was going to be "Don't be an asshole", but being an asshole is sometimes a valid strategy. So then it was going to be "Don't prevent others from enjoying the game", but then I realized that some things that are integral parts of the game (such as losing, or being lynched) are unenjoyable. So then I was unable to clearly define the spirit of this rule, so the closest I can come is "Don't piss me off."

There are 4 Mafia and 7 Townies.
Townie Role PM wrote: X, you are a townie. You have no powers. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

Please confirm via PM, mentioning your role in the confirmation PM.
Mafia Role PM wrote:X, you are a member of the Mafia along with your partners, X, X, and X. You may converse with your partners during the pregame at the following location: [link] - you may not converse via PMs, IMs, or any other medium, and you may only converse during pregame. You win when at least half of the living players are part of the Mafia, or when nothing can prevent the same.

Please confirm via PM, mentioning your role in the confirmation PM.

When we were PMing each pre-game about what strategies to use today to get someone lynched, I totally got the impression he was scum.

Yaus! Another nightless game!

Fwiw, I think any other nightless games are good reads, though the last one I was in was frustrating.

Anyone wanna hear my/Pooky's thing about, "Lives"?

Yes, do tell us a story. =D

Well, there are twelve players, 8 town, 4 scum. This means we essentially have 4 "lives" or mislynches. Town has the advantage here, because scum has to essentially have 4 mislynches in a ROW to win. For each scum we lynch, the town gains an "Extra life" since scum have one less person to endgame.

So this game is guaranteed to last 4 days, and will extend by one day each time we lynch scum.

It's pretty simple to work out, but kind of abstract to think about until someone points it out.

I <3 Killa Seven.

What is Band Mafia? I was not aware of this game. I must find out where I was and how I lynched you (lol I'm proud of myself for lynching someone and not having a clue what you're talking about?!)

I just skimmed through. Will probably post more tonight.
