Newbie 1879 | Stuff I found online III

Hello. In this game I'll be showcasing cool stuff I found/learned about online via my RSS reader and maybe talking some about why I think it's cool. Like beautiful abandoned places from around the world!

Rules

Inspired by Equinox's, Glork's and Ether's rulesets.

important bit

• 14-day day phase, 48 hour night phase
  
• Majority lynches
  
• 48 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement, 24 hour weekends
  
• Bah posts allowed (limit: 1, free of game related content)
  
• I have some unusual rules about animated GIFs, tiny text, and prodging. Scroll down for details.
  
• Don’t be a dick

1. Follow all site rules.
   
   
2. Mod colour
   – My mod colour is
   grey
   ; don't use it.
   
3. Behaviour
   - Don’t be a dick. This is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player. If your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. If you do not stop, I will tell you to stop. If you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced. Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself lynched if you try it.
   
4. Don't talk about ongoing games
   - You may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
   
5. Animated GIFs
   - are of the devil, but they are permitted behind spoilers if clearly labelled as such.
   
6. Tiny text
   - is also of the devil, keep it 70+ please.
   
7. Provable randomness
   - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
   
8. Claiming scum
   - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
   
9. Cryptography
   - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
   
10. Confirmation
    - You have about 72 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
    
11. Days
    - Days last about 14 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements.
    
12. Activity
    - You must post at least once every 48 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. The activity timers run at half-speed on weekends. Players can request me to prod somebody early. This will only count as an official prod if you don't post before you would have been due for a prod. If you haven't posted in the 24 hours before the thread is locked for night, you must reply to the night start PM or you will be replaced during the night.
    
13. Vacation/Limited Access
    If you need to be absent for longer than this, you should declare
    V/LA
    in bold in the thread like this: [
    b]

    @Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday

    [
    /b]. While you are V/LA, you will be nudged once every 72 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 7 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
    
14. Prodging
    - A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. To avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; xxxx is still scum."
    
15. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
    
16. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Plotinus or
    Vote: Plotinus
    . Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
    v]Plotinus[
    /v] to vote and [
    uv]Plotinus[
    /uv] to unvote.
    
17. Lynching
    - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to lynch somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no lynch, the day will end without a lynch. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no lynch.
    
18. Twilight
    - Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread. You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
    
19. Night
    - Night lasts at least 48 hours. The night phase can be shortened if every living player -- even those with no night actions -- agrees to it and if I'm not busy.
    
20. Action submissions
    - You may submit actions via PM (if town) or PT (if scum). If the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do nothing. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
    
21. Reminders
    - If I don't hear from you about your night actions, I'll PM you 24 hours before the deadline. This doesn't count as a prod. If I still don't hear from you, you will take no action.
    
22. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

All role PMs have been sent out (in the order of the signup list so timestamps mean nothing)! We will start in (expired on 2018-06-28 20:50:00) or when [8/9] people have confirmed, whichever happens sooner.

The above clock and any others used throughout this game will be accurate from the time you loaded the page.

[Plotinus]

ManateeDude replaces adamdf101 and Shorty replaces CurryinaHurry, both of whom did not open their role PMs or confirm. ManateeDude and Shorty have (expired on 2018-07-01 20:50:00) to confirm or they will be replaced. Everyone else has confirmed.

Mod notes:

Good luck everyone!

Please take a moment to familiarise yourselves with my ruleset because I have some rules you may not have encountered in other games before regarding animated gifs, tiny text, prodging and perhaps some other things!

ManateeDude and Shorty have (expired on 2018-07-01 20:50:00) to confirm or they will be replaced.

[Sashaddin]

Let's get started!
VOTE: Stasia

[Daskter]

So what do, let's start voting I guess.

VOTE: Shorty

[Daskter]

VOTE: VOTE Shorty

Oh I didn't realize there a vote button.

[wavemode]

yo im wavemode and I'm the IC (Inexperience Challeneged) of this game

I have two jobs here. Number one is that I'm a regular player. I could be town or scum; that's for you to figure out. Either way, I will be trying my best to win.

My second job is to help teach you how the game of mafia is played and act as a good role model (see: Being a Good IC). Ask me questions about mechanics and theory and I will do my best to explain and/or refer you to good examples and resources.

If you're new to MafiaScum there's a few things I highly suggest you read:

1. The Official Site Rules
2. This game's rules and setup, and how each role works
3. Commonly Used Abbreviations

[wavemode]

alrighty let's get right to it boys VOTE: daskter

[osuka]

obligatory VOTE: wavemode

[Stasia]

Good afternoon!
Can I ask what the little titles are? For instance, our mod's says he's Jack of all Trades. I would expect it to be a site title rather than a reveal about this game.

[wavemode]

They are forum titles. By default they're granted by reaching a certain post threshold (though some people have special titles granted by admins). I think Goon is 100 posts, Mafia Scum is 1000 and JOAT is 5000? But I'm guessing

[Stasia]

Okay, awesome.

Vote Daskter

[osuka]

i dont wanna be that guy but please use the vote tags, it makes everything so much easier to read

bold votes are a legacy of a remote past when the forums didnt have vote tags

[Stasia]

Not an issue. I'm on mobile and didn't know the bbc code for that option.

[ManateeDude]

Im heeeere

[ManateeDude]

IC is always scum smh

VOTE: wavemode

[Stasia]

IC, if we kill you can we still ask for help? >_>

[osuka]

Not an issue. I'm on mobile and didn't know the bbc code for that option.

it's really simple: [v

]osuka[/

v] would be a vote for me

[osuka]

if the ic is lynched or nk'd, they cannot speak in the game anymore. i suppose you could ask the SEs for help. i'd try to answer most questions impartially

[acidphoenix]
