Game Rules

General Rules/Game Etiquette

1. Obey all Site-wide Rules.
2. Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
3. You may not quote private communication of any kind. This includes moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
4. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.

Activity/Prods/Replacements

1. Prods of missing players will be issued after 48 hours of no activity.
2. A prodded player has 24 hours to respond to the prod, after which time a replacement search will begin. The prodded player may re-enter the game so long as no replacement has been found.
3. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
4. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than 48 hours please PM me or post in the thread to declare V/LA.
5. I reserve the right to force replace players who need extensively long V/LA at my own discretion.

Deadlines

1. This game will have two week Day deadlines, and 48 hour Night deadlines.
2. Extensions are given only in extreme circumstances.
3. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.

Player Actions/Voting/Player Death

1. A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down). If no one has a simple majority of votes at deadline a No Lynch will occur.
2. Votes must be bolded or use the [.vote] tags to be counted (e.g. Vote: Player or VOTE: Player).
3. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
4. You may Vote: No Lynch - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
5. Votes made using nicknames or abbreviations will be counted at my discretion. Fake vote gambits should be executed at your own peril. If I think its a vote, then its a vote.

Miscellaneous

1. I will use Bolded Dark Blue (#004080) for Mod posts. Don't impersonate me. No invisible/small/encrypted text is allowed.
2. Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to my discretion and will be handled as I see fit on a case-by-case basis.

SETUP-SPECIFIC RULES

• This is a Greatest Idea Mafia game, which has 9 total players.
• When the game begins, the cards numbered 1-76 (as listed on the 28th of March, 2016 revision of the Life and Death page) are shuffled, and three are given to each player. Each card represents an alignment and role.
• You will receive a PM informing you of the three cards you have been dealt.
• Once the PM's go out, you will have 48 hours to decide one card to represent your alignment, and a second, different card to represent your role. The third card, if the game's setup is valid, will be publicly discarded.
• The game will be considered valid if a majority of alignments selected are town, and at least one alignment selected is permanently anti-town. If an invalid setup is created, we will try again, starting with a new shuffle and deal.
• Here is a sample Vanilla Townie Role PM:

Alignment/Win Condition:
You are aligned with the Town. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and there is at least one town player alive, or if nothing can prevent such a scenario.

Abilities:
The Basics: As long as you live, you may use your arguments and your vote in the game thread during the Day phases.

The game thread is here.
Please confirm that you understand your role and have read the game rules by PMing me your alignment and the name(s) of any partners you may have.

[ManWithNoName]

Jokes are always funnier when you spend a good ten minutes explaining them.

So my joke was, I watched Toy Story recently. It stands there test of time.

Please reread that sentence for 10 minutes now

[Maestro]

So you’re always annoyingly Scummy, Invis?

VOTE: Invisibility

[Invisibility]

i wrote that paragraph before the game started!

[ManWithNoName]

Maestro, I have a question about your discarded role, if you have a moment and an idea of it.

What is the (left) part of it?

[Not_Mafia]

VOTE: Maestro

[Maestro]

I assume the (Left) part was who my target was going to be, since this game uses a Face-to-Face “deck” of roles. Never been in (or modded) a game on-forum that uses a F2F deck, as far as I remember. And I’ve modded a lot of Idea games.

Micc ruled that alignment/wincon were the Lyncher part of the role, whereas the power was Vanilla. I didn’t want either of those, so I discarded it.

[ManWithNoName]

Should we all explain our discard?

Skype vs Discard Comparison:
Skype has been the leading video conferencing software for years now but ever since Discard arrived in 2011, it has been giving Skype a run for its money. Let’s look at a comparison of Skype vs Discard below:

1. Bandwidth Usage:
In terms of data usage, Discard is more efficient than Skype. Discard only transmits audio data when a participant in a call speaks while Skype constantly transmits audio data (it is more like a phone call). Speaking quantitatively about Skype vs Discard, Skype has a recommended bandwidth of 100 kbps for voice calls while Discard has a recommended bandwidth of 64 kbps. This is one reason as to why is Discard is better than Skype.

2. CPU Usage:
While the CPU usage is subjective to the system configurations, users have reported that Skype reaches a CPU usage of as high as 30% during a voice call while Discard reaches a CPU usage of as high as 15% during a voice call. This Skype vs Discard comparison shows that Discard’s average CPU usage is less than that of Skype’s.

3. File Transfer Features:
Skype supports the transfer of all file types and allows you to open multimedia files (such as images and audio) from within the software. Discard also supports the transfer of all file types and allows you to play them from within the application. It is a tie in this Skype vs Discard comparison.

4. Max File Size:
The maximum file size limit for Skype is 300 MB while it is 8 MB (free version) and 50 MB (Nitro version) for Discard. Skype is the clear winner in this Skype vs Discard comparison.

5. Screen share Features:
Both Skype and Discard have a built-in screen share feature, but it works differently in each application. In Skype, you can share your screen during a voice or video call by simply pressing the “+” key and selecting “Share screens…”. In Discard, you can share your screen during a video call only by tapping on the Video/Screen share swap button – within the screen share feature, you can choose to share your entire screen or just a specific application/part of your screen (a key function that is missing in Skype). Discard wins here because it offers privacy in screen sharing which Skype does not.

6. Call Recorder Features:
Neither Skype nor Discard supports native call recording, so it is a tie between the two. However, you can make use of extensions and third-party programs to add the call recording functionality. For Skype, you can use Callnote Premium Call Recorder. For Discard, you can use Discard Echo.

7. Group Call Features:
You can make free group calls via Skype and Discard, but come with different features for facilitating the group calls. The most major difference though is that Skype supports up to 25 members for a group call while Discard supports only up to 10 members. So, for large online meetings or conferences, you should choose Skype.

8. Private Call Feature – Audio/Video:
Skype and Discard allow you to make one-on-one or small group private audio and video calls. Skype allows private calling to landline and mobile phone numbers while Discard does not. However, Discard’s private call feature is more secure (since it assigns a dedicated server for private calls) which is why it takes the edge in this comparison.

Conclusion – Skype vs Discard:
Out of the 8 comparison factors that we have discussed, 4 factors were in favour of Discard, 2 factors were in favour of Skype, while 2 remained a tie. Based on these scores, our winner in the Skype vs Discard comparison is Discard. If you are looking for a reliable and stable telecommunication software, our recommendation is to use Discard.

[ManWithNoName]

I think you are thinking of Ventrilo, not discard, NM.

[Not_Mafia]

wut

[Not_Mafia]

wut

[ManWithNoName]

Ventrilo, commonly known as "Vent", is a "program" that allows you to "talk" over the "internet" in "channels."

It is mostly used by "gamers" when they are playing "games" which require "coordination".

[Not_Mafia]

No I mean discard

[ManWithNoName]

Okay.
