Rules

mercilessly stolen & slightly adapted from MarioManiac4

General Rules:

1. Site Rules apply.
2. You may not quote your role PM, you may not quote any other PMs from me, and you may not quote the time at which I sent you any PM.
3. The default mafiascum skin font colours (in bold) are my mod colours. I would strongly encourage you to use them if you feel the need to.
4. If you have a question or concern, or if you think that I may have made an error, do not hesitate to ask in-topic or by PM. Be sure to bold requests directed at me so that I see them.
5. If you break any of these rules, or if I deem it to be appropriate, you could be warned, force-replaced, or modkilled, depending on the severity of what you did. If a player is modkilled, they will die and become a Neutral Survivor resulting in their loss.
6. Please be respectful and kind towards other players. I understand that Mafia can be a heated game sometimes, but there is a line, and if you cross it the game stops being fun. In particular, personal attacks are not allowed.
7. Once you die you may not post anymore.
8. No encryption please. Breadcrumbing is fine, but things like encrypting your role into scrambled text are not. If you have any questions about what does and does not violate this rule, feel free to ask me, and I will answer.
9. Don’t claim scum with another player in a serious manner. I will judge what counts as serious; don't toe the line. Claiming scum by yourself is fine, but please don’t lose the game intentionally by doing so.
10. Don’t work against your win condition.
11. Don’t use provable randomness. Saying “I rolled a dice and it landed on 2” is acceptable; posting a screenshot of you using random.org, or using dice tags, is not acceptable.
12. Use your common sense; I try to include as much as I can but this is probably not an exhaustive list of all things you are not allowed to do.
13. I reserve the right to change any of these rules or any of the time, or make any judgement irregardless of what these rules say (although I will try to follow what I have said here as closely as possible.)
14. The spirit of these rules is what counts, not the exact wording. If you find a loophole in these rules, don't be surprised when I modkill you anyway. Ask me if you would like clarity on any of these, or think something might fall in a grey area.

Voting, Lynching, and Deadlines:

15. As with any mafia game, you can vote for a player to get them lynched, you can vote for a No Lynch, or you can not vote at all.
16. Votes must use the bold tags or the vote tags, like this: VOTE: teh worts or this:

Vote: teh worts

. please try and use recognisable names/nicknames wherever possible.
17. A lynch requires a majority (over 50%) vote. For example, when there are 9 players alive, it will take 5 votes to lynch, because that is the smallest number over 50% of the number of players.
18. Deadlines will be as follows:
- day one: 10 days
- all other day phases: 8 days
- all night phases: 48 hours
I may extend this if I deem it appropriate. When the deadline expires, the day will end without a lynch.
19. When a lynch is reached or deadline expires, I will lock the thread and start the Night phase as soon as I can. You are allowed to post before I do this, if you want.
20. All approved private topics included in any role PMs may be used for discussion at any time. That means that the mafia, may use their private topic during both day phases and night phases.

Prodding and Activity:

21. If a player fails to post for 36 consecutive hours, they will be prodded. If that player does not post for another 24 hours after they've been prodded, they'll be replaced.
22. If you are going away, or if you have limited access to the site, notify me by pm or in-topic so that I know not to prod or replace you. The maximum amount of time you may go without posting due to V/LA is 120 hours (five days).

[PvtUrist]

URAP2, Yyotta, FC, nice to see you folks again. Hopefully I won't be as much of a liability this time around

[PvtUrist]

VOTE: foodcoats because traditions

@Elements, how do you feel about the colour

green

?

@FC, how do you feel about the colour

red

?

@GuiltyLion (GL), explain what exactly are you guilty of?

[Scantius]

VOTE: YyottaCat
I hope you're having fun being lynched.

[Elements]

@PvtUrist, green is not a creative colour however it does describe my alignment in this game. Personally I prefer the colour pink

[Donempire]

VOTE: guiltylion
Found the scum, gg

[Elements]

Hopefully I won't be as much of a liability this time around

I take it you have played before, mind telling me how many times?

First ever game was newbie 1905, second game here. You?

(also where's your avatar? jk it's just convenient to be able to associate posts with images)

[Elements]

This is my second game of forum mafia. My first was with my university's mafia society.
my avatar would be an axolotl if i can find a picture that fits the size limit

[Elements]

Also why have people started random voting while we still have over 9 days

[PvtUrist]

It's called RVS (Random Vote Section? Random Voting Spaghetti? something like that) where people do random votes and questions to try to get conversations going.

[PvtUrist]

Also votes/wagons applies more pressure than not voting at all. Say a scum has 3 votes on them, they're generally more likely to make a mistake in their responds/posts than if they'd have no votes on them at all.

That being said VOTE: Elements because I like you so far

[foodcoats]

Hey all, glad to see some familiar faces as well as some new ones! Looking forward to playing with you all.

VOTE: saad, why are you so saad?

Let's start a wagon

VOTE: saad

[Scantius]

I would like to point out that pressure can be an effective way to scumhunt but can also be an easy way for scum to appear to scumhunt.

[u r a person 2]

so you don't want to hop on a wagon?

[Scantius]

No; saad hasn't talked at all yet. This wagon is fine, another player shouldn't jump on. Someone who has not talked yet should not first view the thread when they see that they are at L-2.

[u r a person 2]

VOTE: YyottaCat
I hope you're having fun being lynched.

From everyone's entrances so far, I wouldn't have expected you to be the one worrying about pressuring people early.

Could you please explain the thought process behind this post?

[Scantius]

Scenarios: I wake up and I find that I am being lynched (I have not posted yet)...
Once: OK; it's fine, just RVS.
Twice: Two votes in RVS isn't unheard of, though there may be other incentives behind this.
Thirce: What???
