General Rules

1. All site-wide rules apply. In particular,
   no discussion of ongoing games is allowed
   , and you may not discuss this game outside this thread or any PTs about this game you have access to.
   
2. All standard rules of Mafia apply. This means
   1. Do not quote your Role PM or any other PMs from the Mod, real or fabricated.
      
   2. Play to your win condition.
      
   3. Do not edit or delete your post, even if you have the ability to do so.
      
   4. Do not use encrypted text, small text, bright-coloured text, or otherwise make it hard to see what you are writing.
      
   5. Do not use provable randomness. This means no dice tags.
3. The mod color is
   blue (#0000FF)
   . Do not use it.
   
4. Once your death scene is posted, you may not post, except for a single contentless ‘bah' post.
   
5. Due to the nature of Mafia, conflicts are expected, but if I deem an argument too heated up I will intervene.
   
6. No set of rules can be complete. If you think something is wrong, please don't do it. Breaking the spirit of rules is also disallowed. Do not encourage others to break the rules either.
   
7. Breaching of rules will usually result in a warning initially, but depending on severity, may result in a force-replacement or modkill.
   
8. During the course of the game I may add extra rules if necessary. These rule changes will be announced publicly.

Game-specific Rules

1. Day start, Days will last 7 days, Nights will last 48 hours.
   
2. There is no factional nightkill (hence “nightless”), but there will be a Night phase for Mafia discussion and night action submission.
   
3. There will also be a 24 hour “dawn” period between the previous Night and the next Day.
   
4. The Mafia have daytalk.
   
5. Prods will be issued if you do not post for 48 hours.
   
6. If you get three or more prods, or fail to respond to a prod by posting in thread within 24 hours, I will begin seeking for a replacement. This is unaffected by V/LAs.
   
7. If a replacement happens at Night, deadline is paused until a replacement is found.
   
8. To vote, either use vote tags (VOTE: BulletNLynchproof), or bold tags (
   Vote: BulletNLynchproof
   ). Abbreviations or misspellings will be accepted as long as it is clear who you are voting for.
   
9. Unvote with UNVOTE: BulletNLynchproof or
   Unvote: BulletNLynchproof
   (the player name is optional in this case)
   
10. Votes to No Lynch are not allowed.
    
11. By request, you may PM me to create for you a PT with you only. This is used to pen down your personal thoughts about the game, or to organise your thoughts.
    
12. You may not copy and paste directly from this PT into the main thread, except for posts made in the PT specifically for this purpose. This means that you may organise cases or reads in your PT to copy them into the main thread, but you may not quote parts of your PT into the main thread to confirm you have been thinking like a townie. If in doubt, please ask me.
    
13. These PTs are on a per-player basis, not a per-slot basis. If a player gets replaced, the replacement will not have access to his predecessor’s PT, and instead will have to create his own PT. However, hydras will share one PT together.
    
14. Before postgame, please PM or otherwise contact if you want your PT to be released or not.

Setup-specific Rules

1. During pregame and on every Night, the Mafia will choose any player (including themselves) to turn into a gladiator.
   
2. On Day 1, the gladiator must choose his target within 72 hours of the game starting.
   
3. On each night after Day 1, there will be a 24-hour “dawn” phase for the gladiator to choose his target.
   
4. On every Day, the gladiator and their target are the only people who may be voted for during the Day, and they themselves cannot vote.
   
5. On Day 1, before the gladiator has chosen their target, any votes on anyone will be ignored.
   
6. A strict majority (more than half) of voting players is required to achieve a lynch. For example, if 7 players are alive, 5 people will be voting, so 3 votes are needed to achieve a lynch.
   
7. Votes to no lynch are not allowed. However, if a lynch is not achieved before deadline, a no lynch would occur, and the Mafia will get a factional kill on the next night, which may be used on any town player.
   
8. If the gladiator fails to choose a target before the stipulated deadline, they will be lynched and game will immediately proceed to night phase.
   
9. It is acceptable to submit your gladiator target in advance during the Night or even before if you happen to become the gladiator. In this case, Dawn will be skipped.

Dead PT

Scum must provide consent before Mafia PT is released, but it will be released in 48 hours by default.

[BNL]

Of course I have no objections to the scum PT being released.

Will read the Dead PT after I get some other things accomplished and provide my thoughts afterwards.

By the way, Magna, I did follow the game to its conclusion after I was lynched, so thank you for your exposition of your choices in the scum thread! Similarly, I have no problem with it being released.

Re EV:

Theoretically this setup is townsided. To avoid WIFOM, all gladiator actions should be chosen randomly, so it effectively becomes a 2:7 Mountainous, which is shown to have a more than 50% Town EV. Of course, the lynching restrictions are quite scumsided, which cancels out the theoretical townsideness. In fact, my first draft of the setup did have a scum nightkill (somewhere in the Open Setup thread), but I got feedback that it was heavily scumsided, so I nerfed it.

[BNL]

a.) Accountant is scum who waited a while to hammer (i don't think this is possible due to win con though).

Mod can probably confirm this but if Accountant was the last Mafia I expect in the situation BPL would have just called the game when Accountant was not able to be voted.

Yes, I will confirm that if the game reached a stage where a town lynch/kill is inevitable (TvT at 2:3 or 1:2), I would've stopped the game with a Mafia win. Note that this does not apply at 2:4 or 1:3; although scum can completely control the lynch, town can still gain lynch control on the next Day.
