welcome to lovers mafia but the mod picks who the mafia are and there's seven games and there's a points system, it's a whole thing! I would argue that all games function as art, and therefore this
is
an art project.
here's a list of players:
Chickadee
(replacing NicoRobin)
Ausuka
Not_Mafia
RedFlavor
RadiantCowbells
(replacing Mathdino)
Pine
the following players died during a current or previous game:
obey all site rules. you can read the site rules here.
do not discuss the game in any capacity outside of this game thread unless your role gives you explicit permission to do so. if you are allowed to do so, I will provide you with a private topic where you can do so.
do not harass other players in this game. while a certain level of confrontation and argumentation is typical in Mafia games, do not bring personal vendettas or outside influences into the game. additionally, do not harm or threaten to harm any person.
game conduct:
play to win the main game. there is a chance that you will lose the game, but do your best to avoid that, and do not deliberately throw the game.
intentionally losing a subgame is allowed as long as it's in service of winning the main game.
do not use the color #8C0000.
do not use any sort of cryptography, hidden text, or other similar methods to hide information in the game thread unless your role explicitly states that you may do so. if you are unsure of what is not allowed, PM me for clarification.
do not quote information from private threads for ongoing subgames.
you are free to quote private communication from me and from completed subgames.
joining the game, leaving the game, and activity:
at the beginning of each subgame, you will receive a role PM. please confirm by telling me your alignment and (if you're mafia) who your partner is.
if you will be away from the site for a set period of time, please post in the thread letting the other players know this and PM me, and update the "Vacation / Limited Access" info in the User Control Panel. I will be more lenient regarding inactivity if you are V/LA, but I may need to replace you if you will be gone for an extended period of time. if you are regularly V/LA at certain times (such as during the weekend), you only need to do this once.
if you do not post for 72 hours or more, I will prod you (or send you a reminder to check in when possible if you have announced that you are V/LA); failure to respond to prods or needing to be prodded repeatedly throughout the game might result in a replacement.
if you need to be replaced for any reason, you may message me with information to be passed on to the player who replaces you. this isn't mandatory, but if there's strategic advice you'd like to offer to whomever replaces you, you can do this.
gameplay:
the game is divided into seven subgames. each subgame is nightless.
during each subgame, two players will be mafia lovers, and the other players will be townies. the mafia lose as soon as either of them dies. role PMs are listed below.
living players may vote for other living players by writing
vote: player
or VOTE: player in the game thread.
once the majority of living players are voting for a player, that player will die.
if you have died, please do not post in the thread anymore. you are not officially considered dead until I announce your death in the game thread.
players who die on day 1 of a subgame may request a private topic for the rest of that day to commentate on the game. they may then request that this thread be made public at any point in the future.
each day has a one week deadline. if the deadline passes without a lynch, each town player loses half a point and the day continues for an additional period reduced by 48 hours. the third time a deadline passes during a subgame, the mafia automatically win the game.
players who win their subgame get one point.
moderator responsibilities:
I will not edit your posts unless your post breaks the rules in such a way that information needs to be removed from it or quotes a post that does that, or you ask me to edit it to fix a broken tag. I will provide a brief explanation of the edit and, in cases of fixing broken tags, will end the post with a spoiler containing the complete original text of the post.
this is my normal rule for this in my other games, but listen: we're just having fun here, there's no need to get all worked up.
if you have a pronoun listed on your account, I will use that to refer to you. otherwise, I will default to referring to you as "they"/"them". if you do not have a pronoun listed on your account but wish for me to refer to you using some other pronoun, message me to let me know.
I will do my best to keep the game running as smoothly as possible, but there will be times when I'm not around. I should be able to update the game at least once a day, and I will let you know if I believe that might change.
I reserve the right to modify these rules at any time if necessary.
remember the Midnight Amendments:
be cool.
c’mon.
nice.
thanks for vibing and keeping it tight. if you need me, I'm on my mobile.
I will send out role PMs in the next day or two; until then, feel free to chat here about who you think I should pick! or you can talk about anything else as long as it's not ongoing games or where you can get pirated media or anything else not allowed by the site rules.
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?
In post 7, NicoRobin wrote:I would like the scumteam to be me and my darlings. The three of us shall trounce the town. Unfortunately, my darlings aren't on this site.
it's not too late for them to create a hydra together, convince someone to replace out, replace them, keep me from noticing that it's a hydra since I don't allow those in my games, and become scum with you.
Also xy has seen ausuka scum very recently and it's nothing impressive for sure. I think they would want to see Pine's scumgame in action due to his reputation. Just a theory but the best I have so...
Pedit: hi Pine! Aren't you at l3 now? I don't think there's a substantial threat of quickhammer from that?
No matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.
It's been like, less than fifteen minutes. If anything, it's kind of evidence against him being scum, because xyzzy may have had to wait on scum decisions to open thread.
