this is mostly just my standard ruleset; a few specific changes have been italicized. please read the whole thing, but please also take special note of the italicized portions, which are especially important.

game rules

1. site rules:
   
   
2. obey all site rules. you can read the site rules here.
   
3. 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.
   
4. 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:
   
   
5. play to win the 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.
   keep in mind that winning this game is a matter of demonstrating over the course of several games that you deserve to win, which is completely subjective, so in theory this one is impossible to fail at! alright!
   
   
6. do not use the color #8C0000.
   
7. 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.
   
8. do not quote information from private threads or from the moderator in the game thread.
   
9. if you have access to a private thread, assume that that is the only place where you may communicate privately with the other people in that thread unless your role explicitly says otherwise.
   
10. I might amend or change some of these rules on a game by game basis, which will be clearly announced at the beginning of each game. for example, there could be a game where exclusively using the color #8C0000 is mandatory. what fun!
    
    
    
    joining the game, leaving the game, and activity:
    
    
11. at the beginning of each game, you will receive a role PM. please confirm by telling me your alignment and any players whose alignment you know, along with a brief summary of any non-vanilla abilities you have.
    there aren't any non-vanilla abilities in this game, but do you think I'm gonna delete words? hell no
    
    
12. the manner in which roles are distributed might change from game to game. for example, I might choose to distribute roles randomly, or I might choose to ask a third party to assign roles to you. I will clearly announce the manner in which roles are being assigned at the beginning of each game.
    
    
13. 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. if you are regularly V/LA at certain times (such as during the weekend), you only need to do this once.
    
14. if you do not post for the duration of a game day (24 hours), I will prod you; failure to respond to prods or needing to be prodded repeatedly throughout the game might result in a replacement. there is no specific threshold for this, but I will let you know if I think this will become an issue.
    
15. 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:
    
    
16. living players may vote to lynch living players by writing
    vote: player
    or VOTE: player in the game thread. you may also vote for no lynch.
    
17. once the majority of living players are voting to lynch a player, that player will die.
    
18. 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.
    
19. each day will have a deadline of 24 hours.
    this number is subject to change on a game by game basis, especially if the players request a longer or shorter game.
    
    
20. sample role PMs for both factions are included at the bottom of this post.
    
    
    moderator responsibilities:
    
    
21. 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.
    
22. 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.
    
23. 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 will do my best to post a votecount every day, and potentially more frequently than that if a substantial number of new posts have been made.
    
24. I reserve the right to modify these rules at any time if necessary.
    ohohoho
    
    
    
    the most important, most fundamental rules of all:
    
    
25. remember the Midnight Amendments:
    1. be cool.
       
    2. c’mon.
       
    3. nice.
26. thanks for vibing and keeping it tight. if you need me, I'm on my mobile.

[xyzzy]

for game 1, roles will be distributed in the following partially random manner: I have pre-selected 2 numbers

n

and

m

such that either

n

+1=

m

or

m

+1=

n

. I will generate 2 6-sided die rolls in this post and add them to

n

and

m

respectively, then take the resulting number mod 6 and give the mafia roles to the two players corresponding to those numbers on the player list in the opening post.

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (3, 6) = 9

[xyzzy]

roles have been sent for game 1, which will begin once everyone has confirmed.

[xyzzy]

I'm waiting on a confirmation from a player who has read their role PM but has not responded to it. if this is you, I'm sending you a reminder to do so momentarily.

votecount 1.1.1

6 players not voting (Aristophanes, Jake The Wolfie, Allomancer, Eve, RedFlavor, Equinox)

mod notes:

welcome to game one, day one! so first, note that I'm notating votecounts as x.y.z, where x is the game number, y is the day number, and z is the votecount number. this is a little different than formatting I've used in the past since this one features an indeterminate number of subgames.

while this game will use very rapid deadlines, as noted in the rules, I'm flexible if you'd like to slow down the clock a bit.

also, I'll be a bit more conversational than usual; while I won't commentate on the game uninvited, feel free to ask me any questions you have about anything. I want this one to feel like the forum equivalent of playing Mafia on the back of the bus in high school on the way to a competition, if that makes sense, so maintaining the "pretend like I'm not reading the game" vibe doesn't really make sense for this one.

also, deadline is 24 hours from when this post goes through, but the countdown tag is a big hassle, and this one is nightless anyway, so, y'know, I'm not gonna get worked up about the specifics.

[Equinox]

all right, so which one of you assholes took fucking forever to confirm your win condition

[Eve]

look there wasn't a link to the thread in the role PM so not my fault

i think we should play this peacefully and no lynch

[Jake The Wolfie]

I suggest we Allocate all resources to remove VOTE: Allomancer

[RedFlavor]

Why tf slowroll this much VOTE: Allomancer

Also Aristophanes and a furry is in the same game LOL monkaS

[Aristophanes]

O.o

[Aristophanes]

look there wasn't a link to the thread in the role PM so not my fault

i think we should play this peacefully and no lynch

Ummmmm

Why for!?

What what is your goal here?

[Aristophanes]

Oh lol I just googles monkaS and laughed XD

[Aristophanes]

SHIT AM I THE ONE SPAMMING THE THREAD THIS GAME!?

WTF!

[Allomancer]

look there wasn't a link to the thread in the role PM so not my fault

i think we should play this peacefully and no lynch

The rest of us managed to find the thread fine.

Also, no.

[Equinox]

yo, aristophanes, is spamming scummy, do you think?

[Eve]

i refuse to vote

i think we will win if we wait this out and mafia get exhausted of having to put up the act

[Allomancer]

I don't think that's how this works. More likely, we would get ...and_they_all_lived_happily_ever_after.

[Aristophanes]

yo, aristophanes, is spamming scummy, do you think?

Well that's complex. I think it can be scummy, like when the spamming is distracting from a lynch or overliading the thread to bog it down.

Just plain spamming like this? Nah. I wouldn't scumread anyone for it, especially when the game first opens.

i refuse to vote

i think we will win if we wait this out and mafia get exhausted of having to put up the act

That is entirely silly.

[Allomancer]

Oh shit I just realized the deadline is only 24 hours. We got to get to work.

VOTE: Eve

[Equinox]

eve, what do you think happens if we don't lynch and then we move to day 2

[RedFlavor]

I meant to vote for the one that slowroll but lynching allo works better tbh. Gamesolve is allo and aristo

[Jake The Wolfie]

This game is going quite slowly for a 24 hour deadline.

[Allomancer]

Jake, it'll go faster if you vote Eve with me.

[Aristophanes]

Jake, it'll go faster if you vote Eve with me.

Ewwww I could do this fo sho.

Will consider as deadline approaches
