All rules listed in the Boilerplate Mafiascum Game Rules page apply to this game except where contradicted in the additional rules below, in which case the following rules will take precedence:
Game-play:
Blue
is reserved for the moderator. All other formatting is fair game with the provision that you do not impersonate me.
Flavor is for entertainment purposes only and has no significance in the game. This applies to flavor names, role flavor, VC flavor, flip flavor, etc. All flavor.
If it looks like you're voting, it will be counted. You may UNVOTE: before changing your vote, but it is not necessary. If you wish to remove your vote entirely, you must UNVOTE: . You may also vote not to lynch anyone by voting for a No Lynch, like this VOTE: No Lynch or VOTE: NL.
Lynches occur through simple majority (50% of living players + 1, rounded down). A No Lynch can be reached by a straight 50% vote, rounded up. If no majority is reached at deadline, the Day will end without a lynch. Once majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count.
All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to talk in twilight phase until I post the death scene. Day ends when the moderator locks the thread.
Dead players may make one "Bah!" post that does NOT contain any game information. If you think it might, leave it out. Things like, "Go town!" or "Bah!" are acceptable. I reserve the right to edit, cut, or outright delete your bah post if I feel it's too much.
Player Conduct:
YOU ARE REQUIRED TO READ THESE RULES. Please do so.
Players who have not opened their role PM within 24 hours will be automatically replaced.
Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 48-hour period. Players who have been prodded have 48 hours to make a post in the game thread before a replacement is sought. If the prod PM is not opened within 24 hours, I will seek a replacement sooner. Players requiring a second prod have 24 hours to post.
There is no third prod;
players requiring a third prod will be replaced immediately. This game is a commitment, and I expect you to honor it the best you can, please. If you've read these rules, please post with your confirmation how long a player has to post after being prodded a second time.
You are responsible for notifying me of any V/LA status BEFORE you are prodded. You may do so by PM or by bolding it in the game thread. I do not check the V/LA threads, nor your profiles, for V/LA dates. Please just let me know.
Don't be a dick. Seriously. I'm not a babysitter so I will not scold you about your behavior, but if another player complains about you, I'll be forced to take action. Don't do that to me. <3
A note on force-replacement/modkills: I've never made a modkill, and I intend to keep it that way. I'll only force-replace under extreme circumstances or if a player has completely flaked. However, please do not push the envelope.
Deadlines and Night Actions:
Days will have a deadline of two weeks, and Nights will last 48 hours. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances. Not being able to make up your mind is not an extreme circumstance.
If I do not receive your action by deadline, the action is forfeited. You may submit ahead of time. You can also make as many changes as necessary, and at deadline I will take the last action you submitted. Actions may be submitted via PM or bolded in a QuickTopic, if you have one.
All my deadlines end at 19:00 EST because that's when I'm almost always guaranteed to be free. However, deadlines will never be shorter than 2 week days/2 day nights, and never longer than +24 hours. Unless I forget. In that case, feel free to yell at me.
You will receive an alignment PM that contains 3 role choices.
Players must respond to confirm their alignment, and tell me which role they wish to select. The other two will be taken out of play. These are not revealed until endgame.
Selected roles will then be randomized and players will receive their final role PM.
Depending on the final list of roles, some may be modified! Keep this in mind when making your selections.
Players must respond to confirm their role and then the game will begin.
This game is specifically NOT balanced or normal.

Players have 48 hours to submit their choices. The game will begin when I have all of them, but no sooner than 24 hours. (expired on 2016-01-24 12:22:50)
All picks are in! Randomizing and final role PMs will go out within the hour!
Edit: 5:16 pm EST - apologies for the delay, massive traffic accident and I'm stuck in car so I'm still mobile until I can get home. Soon, I promise!!!
aphix'll be obvious to me in about 10 posts of his. I'm a little out of practice, so I might require a bit of prodding to actually check the thread when I need to. Bear with me.
I believe that we should massclaim what we submitted, especially given that that doesn't give the scum knowledge of who has what. Thoughts?
It is important to know that there will be multiple kills.
Lol yeah, I was wondering about that, though I'm sure you're better than me
I don't think we should massclaim submissions yet. Scum will probably lie, and that gives them one over on us as they know the setup and we don't.
I do think Millers or similar roles should claim now.
On a side note, what makes you think there will be multiple kills?

That's unlikely and would be a very suboptimal scum strategy. In that case, a massclaim would break the game assuming that at least one of the scum picks went to town. I'd kind of like to keep the element of surprise for the role I picked if possible. Even if we don't end up mass pick claiming, claiming discards might be something worth doing.
I would bet that duplicate roles are possible. I would be okay with claiming discards, as it forces the scum to decide whether or not to lie (if they don't, they might be forced to claim their submitted role and explain why they picked it; if they do, it will limit their submission claim possibilities later and potentially back them into a corner).
I do think that if somebody claims a role, then the person who submitted that role should say that, as that will give some measure of confirmation to the claim (though any role could be scum). Also if somebody's getting lynched, they should claim the role they submitted.

Jingle, you're such a peach.
I think claiming our role submissions helps the scum too much. They would know the roles in the game at that point and could play accordingly. Perhaps when someone is L1, and claims. We can use that time to have someone come forth and say "Yep, I submitted that role so it's a legit claim." Doesn't of course mean they're town or scum I suppose, but yeah I don't even see how that helps too much either.
RVS was over from 7, that's also the third vote on Jingle on page 1.
First, why are you trying to create an RVS that existed all of one post, when you could be giving your opinion on Jingle's suggestion in 7. On top of that why are you making an RVS vote that puts someone at L2?

If they give up what role they submitted how does that help us?

But how would we ever be able to confirm what cards were discarded? Even if they're lying, at what point would we know it? Also you just said you think there could be duplicate roles, so how could it limit their submission claim possibilities?

Because I have no opinion on Jingle's suggestion. Strategy isn't my thing; I'll leave that up to Gorman.
