hey, so, concerning my game that's pretty close to entering signups, I'm gonna have to add a kind of weird stipulation to the player list: if the game doesn't fill by August 29 (which seems unlikely, though not impossible), anyone who is attending Toronto Meet cannot /in for it (unless it still hasn't filled by the time Toronto Meet is over). I don't intend to leave the players who /in for it in limbo for nearly a week, so if it fills while I'm there, I'll still plan on starting it while I'm there, probably with an extended day 1 deadline to compensate for the fact that I won't as on top of player activity and votecounts for the first few days, but there's just too many ways I can imagine things going wrong if a player in the game is physically present in the same place as me while I'm randomizing the setup and distributing roles, and even though I don't think something like that is necessarily likely, I'd prefer to completely avoid that possibility. none of the pre-ins are from people who will be there, so no need for concern there.
I think that makes it full, which means my game should be up next. once again, the following people have pre-inned: xRECKONERx, Varsoon, Irrelephant11, skitter30, brassherald, and Gammagooey.
also, for those who aren't familiar with the theme but might be interested in the game based on the mechanics, here's the rules post, which outlines the two major mechanics (rules 13-15 and 18-19 are the main ones to read for those):
Spoiler:
site rules:
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 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.
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do not quote information from private threads or from the moderator.
joining the game, leaving the game, and activity:
at the beginning of the game, you will receive a role PM. please confirm by telling me your alignment, any players whose alignment you know, and any abilities you have.
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 48 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:
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.
living players may vote to give living players a Fantasy Gachapon item by writing
Gachapon vote: player
in the game thread.
once the majority of living players are voting to lynch a player, that player will die. each player voting for that player will receive a particular amount of gold as described in their role PM.
once the day ends, the player with the most Fantasy Gachapon votes will receive an item from the Fantasy Gachapon. this item will be publicly revealed and will be immediately usable.
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.
each day has a two week deadline. if the deadline passes and no majority has been achieved, the day will end without a lynch. no player will receive gold, but a player will still receive an item from the Fantasy Gachapon.
each night, players may spend gold they have received on items at the Fantasy Costco. items purchased can be used immediately or held onto for later.
there are an unlimited number of each Fantasy Costco item available, and the items that are available will not change.
this game is confirmed to only have two factions.
players may use any number of abilities each night, but each ability may be used only once each night. for example, a player who has purchased two Extreme Teen Bibles cannot use both of them in the same night.
a sample role PM is included at the bottom of this post.
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.
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.
the most important, most fundamental rules of all:
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.
additionally, there is a strong likelihood of day 1 having a slightly longer deadline to account for the fact that I will be at Toronto Meet, and will therefore have less time to devote to counting votes and monitoring player activity.
We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it. (I'm slightly scared of Nancy)

Nancy-scum feels like a hot knife slicing through butter. Nancy-town feels like a magnifying glass in the sun glaring down at an insect.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
