game rules

1. site rules:
   
   
2. obey all site rules. you can read the site rules here.
   
3. if you are a player in this game, 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. if you are not a player in this game, you may discuss this game elsewhere for the purpose of encouraging others to post in this thread.
   
5. do not harass anyone 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:
   
   
6. 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.
   
7. do not use the color #8C0000.
   
8. 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.
   
9. do not quote information from private threads or from the moderator in the game thread.
   
10. 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.
    
11. do not privately communicate with players in this game unless you have been given a space to do so.
    
    
    joining the game, leaving the game, and activity:
    
    
12. at the beginning of the 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.
    
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 48 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 decide you need to be replaced, that must be handled entirely via PM with me. do not post about your desire to be replaced in the game thread.
    
16. 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:
    
    
17. 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.
    
18. anyone who hasn't died in this game may post in the game thread. if a player is replaced, they are considered dead for purposes of this rule.
    
19. each player may only post in this thread using the account with which they have joined the game. if a player is part of a hydra with a non-player, that non-player may not post in this thread using that account.
    
20. once the majority of living players are voting to lynch a player, that player will die.
    
21. 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.
    
22. day phases will not have deadlines unless activity slows to the point where I feel a deadline is necessary to encourage player activity.
    
23. each night phase will last 48 hours, plus however much time it takes me to start the next day.
    
24. a sample role PM for the town is included at the bottom of this post.
    
    
    moderator responsibilities:
    
    
25. 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.
    
26. 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.
    
27. 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 at a frequent rate, ideally at least once per day.
    
28. I may, in some cases, allow a player who would have been replaced to rejoin the game. this is up to my discretion and is on a case by case basis.
    
29. I reserve the right to modify these rules at any time if necessary.
    
    
    the most important, most fundamental rules of all:
    
    
30. remember the Midnight Amendments:
    1. be cool.
       
    2. c’mon.
       
    3. nice.
31. thanks for vibing and keeping it tight. if you need me, I'm on my mobile.

sample town role PM

welcome to Any Non-Dead Person Can Post In This Mafia Game! you are a member of the

town

, and your role name is

townie

!

you win when only members of your faction remain, or when nothing can prevent this.

[xyzzy]

all role PMs have been sent out.

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.

[xyzzy]

votecount 1.01

13 players not voting (mastina, Jingle, Ausuka, Wagonomics, PenguinPower, rosterfoster, Titus, EeveeLution Army, Pine, Who, nomnomnom, Lavender, ofrhz)

mod notes: what are you

talking

about, Titus was always a player in this game.

[xyzzy]

btw I know this is fake as hell of me but votes for non-players will

not

be counted. sometimes you just gotta let folks know that This Is Not That Sort Of Game

[xyzzy]

votecount 1.02

2 players voting for Pine (Ausuka, mastina)
1 player voting for mastina (nomnomnom)
1 player voting for Ausuka (Who)

9 players not voting (Jingle, Wagonomics, PenguinPower, rosterfoster, Titus, EeveeLution Army, Pine, Lavender, ofrhz)

mod notes: there's something here about Titus replacing Gamma Emerald, but listen: if you think I'm gonna add that much context to the opening post and not just go back and edit the first votecount and pretend none of this ever happened, you're a damn fool. (also, Gamma Emerald is still technically allowed to post here as a non-player since that role PM has been deleted before being read.)

[xyzzy]

@mod can non-players use your mod colors or no? also, what are the rules for non-players?

the same rules apply to everyone who posts in the thread; there's just a rule indicating that non-players are allowed to post here. therefore, you cannot use the mod color.

also yes Nero Cain you can post here

[xyzzy]

also you can always troll the game and say dumb things in, say,

a nice periwinkle

.

[xyzzy]

votecount 1.03

3 players voting for Pine (Ausuka, mastina, PenguinPower)
1 player voting for mastina (nomnomnom)
1 player voting for Titus (Who)
1 player voting for Who (rosterfoster)

7 players not voting (Jingle, Wagonomics, Titus, EeveeLution Army, Pine, Lavender, ofrhz)

mod notes: do you ever just, like, start a Mafia game on Mafiascum.net, and you get to votecount 1.03, and you're like "what have I done... what have I done"

[xyzzy]

Xyzzy think about what will happen when you fall asleep.

[xyzzy]

votecount 1.04

5 players voting for Pine (Ausuka, mastina, PenguinPower, Who, rosterfoster)
1 player voting for mastina (nomnomnom)

7 players not voting (Jingle, Wagonomics, Titus, EeveeLution Army, Pine, Lavender, ofrhz)

mod notes: since non-players are allowed to discuss the game elsewhere, you're free to, say, post in site chat or a Discord server and address a player, but private communication about the game with a player isn't allowed -- you can't send a PM to a player about the game or anything like that. (this is a bit ambiguous in the rules currently, so I'm about to clarify this there.)

[xyzzy]

@mod: do alts count as individual people when posting in the thread? If so, can I post under alts I may or may not have access to?

from the rules,

"each player may only post in this thread using the account with which they have joined the game. if a player is part of a hydra with a non-player, that non-player may not post in this thread using that account."

[xyzzy]

Oh, in the confirmation stage I made a joke about how no one could post in this thread to xyzzy and he responded that the listmods could. I believe this to be tacit approval for PP to post during the nightphase.

Glad the mod gave me permission.

I will make sure to spam the thread while it is locked.

it's literally impossible for me to stop you!

[xyzzy]

votecount 1.05

5 players voting for Pine (Ausuka, mastina, PenguinPower, Who, rosterfoster)
2 players voting for mastina (hated, nomnomnom)
1 player voting for rosterfoster (Jingle)

6 players not voting (Wagonomics, Titus, EeveeLution Army, Pine, Lavender, ofrhz)

with 13 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.

mod notes: I forgot to include a lynch threshold in my votecounts so far. I'm a damn fool and you should mock me.

[xyzzy]

"hated" is not a player. it is shorthand for "this player is publicly known to be hated." there are 13 players.

[xyzzy]

can we post in alts?

cuz I can help get Mastina hated and drive Pine #hatesrvswhippersnappersgetoffmylawn insane!

non-players can post with alts, yes -- the only restriction on non-players posting is that they may not post with a hydra shared with a player, since there's then no way to be 100% sure that the message was, indeed, posted by a non-player.

[xyzzy]

votecount 1.06

5 players voting for Pine (Ausuka, mastina, PenguinPower, Who, rosterfoster)
2 players voting for mastina (hated, nomnomnom)
1 player voting for EeveeLution Army (Jingle)

6 players not voting (Wagonomics, Titus, EeveeLution Army, Pine, Lavender, ofrhz)

with 13 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.

mod notes: re:329, see 202 (which SaskeIsMyYaoiKismesis just quoted). also hi schadd!

[xyzzy]

Hmmm. If I replace into a hydra of myself and someone else, does that mean a new person has entered the game? :thonk:

you can't do the thing you're describing, so no.

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.

If someone needs to be replaced because they accidentally find out who the scum team is, can they leave the information of who the scumteam is for their replacement?

I would simply elect not to pass on this information in that situation.

[xyzzy]

I'm counting that as the official votecount 1.06 and I endorse schadd's plea for people to join his game (I can't join it because I will be in too many games at once)

1 player voting for EeveeLution Army (Jingle)

6 players not voting (Wagonomics, Titus, EeveeLution Army, Pine, Lavender, ofrhz)

with 13 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.

mod notes: re:573, players in this game may not discuss it elsewhere. non-players may post about this game encouraging others to post here, but please follow the rules of whatever place you're posting about it in -- in other words, don't spam other threads about this game and whatnot. additionally, as per the rules to this game (you all read the rules, right?) day phases will not initially have deadlines, but I may implement a deadline if the overall activity level among players becomes too light.

mod notes: thanks schadd for reinventing my votecount format and perfecting it :')

[xyzzy]

@Xyzzy still want my question answered regarding alive players being able to talk about this game outside of the thread or asking players to post here for whatever reason

I answered that in the mod notes to votecount 1.07! but basically no, if you're a player, you can't discuss this game elsewhere.

mod notes: mastina has been prodded. I almost considered prodding some non-players, but decided against it. that being said if you specifically ask me to prod a non-player who has already posted in the thread who hasn't posted for more than 48 hours I'll totally do it lol

mod notes: re:1342, I don't see why not. it's not ongoing, so you're not breaking any rules. re:1524, I posted about this in the queue, but I'll confirm here again that the decision to go with these more lax deadline rules was decided upon after the setup was designed, and I didn't take the setup into consideration when deciding to do that.

rosterfoster has died and was a town even commuter.

welcome to Any Non-Dead Person Can Post In This Mafia Game! you are a member of the

town

, and your role name is

town even commuter

each night, if the number of users who have posted in the game thread is even, you can commute. night actions targeting you will fail as long as you are commuting.

please submit night actions within 48 hours of this post.

once 100 or more people have posted in the game thread, you will gain access to a neighborhood with one or more other players. that player (or those players) also know that they have this trait, and they do not know any other information about you.

you win when only members of your faction remain, or when nothing can prevent this.

Titus and popsofctown are now a hydra. they may choose a hydra name for themselves if they like, but if they don't, they'll be listed in votecounts as Titus/popsofctown.

Who and RadiantCowbells are now a hydra. they may choose a hydra name for themselves if they like, but if they don't, they'll be listed in votecounts as Who/RadiantCowbells.

Pine is being replaced. if you're someone who's been following this game but isn't a player, consider replacing in!

mod notes: Pine is no longer being replaced and is instead just a player in the game.

[xyzzy]

so it turns out I thought I'd changed my ruleset to accommodate replacements being able to be undone, but I apparently never did that, which makes Pine continuing with his slot potentially in violation of that part of the site rules. I'm locking the thread until I hear back from a list mod re: the best way to handle the situation now. (technically I've already heard from a list mod, but PenguinPower is the one who brought this to my attention, and he's also in the game.)

edit: no action is needed beyond a slight change in my rules. carry on!

mod notes: regarding the question about using a script to automatically post, I think that's out of the spirit of Mafia as a game (e.g., I wouldn't allow the members of a Mafia faction to use a script that automatically votes on their behalf to end the game for them if a town player is voted for during lylo), but additionally, I'm also going to rule that a script that automatically posts does not meet the criteria of being a non-dead person, because it's not a person.

mod notes: to answer some questions: if someone really wants to make a large theme played entirely in this thread, I would be okay with that, but I would check with Untrod Tripod first to find out whether he's fine with that. second, as a reminder, while days do not have deadlines by default, I reserve the right to implement a deadline if I feel the game has stalled in such a way that the day will not end in a reasonable amount of time without one.

mod notes: if I believe a player is trying to manipulate the results of the game via breaking one of the game rules (such as posting from an alt despite being a player in the game, as asked about earlier), I will treat the game state as though that rules violation hadn't occurred. I will also let the list mods know that this happened, so if you're thinking about doing that... don't.

PLAYERNAME

welcome to Any Non-Dead Person Can Post In This Mafia Game! you are a member of the

town

, and your role name is

town relationships 2-shot cupid

.

each night, if one of the users with the top 5 largest number of posts in the Speakeasy thread "Relationships" who isn't a player in the game made a post during that day in the game thread that relates primarily in some way to the personal relationships of a Mafiascum user, you can target two other players. those players will become lovers: if one of them dies, the other will die as well. they will be told that they are lovers, but they will not gain access to any kind of private communication. you can use this ability up to 2 times. if you do not have access to the Speakeasy, I can provide a list of eligible players. I am the sole judge of what constitutes a post about relationships in case there is any ambiguity.

you win when only members of your faction remain, or when nothing can prevent this.

please submit your night actions within 48 hours to do so! failure to do so may cause me to be a little bit sad about it!

each night, you can target another person who is not currently a player in the game but who has posted in the game thread. you will become part of a hydra with that player. that person will not have any activity requirements, but they will be able to act on your slot's behalf. there are no restrictions on how you communicate with members of your hydra, and you will not be required to use a hydra account, though you may do so if you prefer.

you win when only members of your faction remain, or when nothing can prevent this.

welcome to Any Non-Dead Person Can Post In This Mafia Game! you are a member of the

mafia

mafia 200-page godfather 1000-page vigilante 3000-page lynchproof

.

you know that the other members of the mafia faction are [REDACTED].

you can communicate with the other members of the mafia faction here:

your faction has a factional kill. each night, a member of your faction can target another player. that player will die.

starting on day 1, if the game thread reaches 200 pages with no more than 5% of the posts having been made by any individual member of the mafia, you will become a godfather for the rest of the game. once you become a godfather, if an investigative role would investigate you, their results would suggest that you are a member of the town.

starting on day 2, if the game thread reaches 1000 pages with no more than 2% of the posts having been made by any individual member of the mafia, you will become a vigilante for the rest of the game. once you become a vigilante, each night, you can target another player. that player will die.

starting on day 3, if the game thread reaches 3000 pages with no more than 1% of the posts having been made by any individual member of the mafia, you will become lynchproof for the rest of the game. once you become lynchproof, if you would die as a result of a majority of players voting for you during the day, the day will instead continue without you dying in this way.

you win when only members of your faction remain, or when nothing can prevent this.

please submit your night actions in the next 48 hours. if you don't submit your night actions you will be branded a coward by your community

MOD: For the purposes of PenguinPower's role, how would you resolve a member of the scumteam having a role like Titus/popsofctown/Tammy's role? Would each head of the hydra be treated as their own separate entity, or would they all collectively count?

the hydra as a whole would count as a single slot.

PLAYERNAME

welcome to Any Non-Dead Person Can Post In This Mafia Game! you are a member of the

town us politics 1-shot governor

.

once during the game during the day, if one of the users with the top 5 largest number of posts in the Speakeasy thread "us politics" who isn't a player in the game made a post during that day in the game thread that relates primarily in some way to a current political issue in the United States, you can activate a governor ability by messaging me with your intentions to do so. at the end of the day, as long as a player other than yourself would be lynched, they instead will not be. if you do not have access to the Speakeasy, I can provide a list of eligible players. I am the sole judge of what constitutes a post about US politics in case there is any ambiguity. you can send me conditional governor ability activations (e.g., "if this player is lynched, activate my governor ability today," or "if these two players are both voting for the player who is lynched, activate my governor ability") if you are unsure if you will have time to respond to a possible lynch, and I do not guarantee that you will have time to send me a message before the end of the day -- I will always end the day as soon as possible once the day ends.

you win when only members of your faction remain, or when nothing can prevent this.

mastina, town 25-person hated, and Ausuka, town prime/square/triangular cop, are endgamed. PenguinPower, EeveeLution Army, Who, RadiantCowbells, Creature, Ether, and Nancy Drew 39 (mafia roleblocker hydra recruiter), win the game.

[xyzzy]

so it turns out I thought I'd changed my ruleset to accommodate replacements being able to be undone, but I apparently never did that, which makes Pine continuing with his slot potentially in violation of that part of the site rules.

edit: no action is needed beyond a slight change in my rules. carry on!

anyway this is the worst post I've made as a moderator ever. I've got a tendency to try to overcorrect whenever any potential issue comes up in a game -- I get nervous whenever a moderator just locks a thread and says "thread locked while I do a thing," so I tend to panic and write too much. I need to not do that! you just gotta write "thread locked while I do a thing."

also congrats to Ether on winning this game without ever posting while being a player. the true MVP

[xyzzy]

I helped. I really did scum side this game.

you only have 172 posts. that's not 420 :/

[xyzzy]

also thanks everyone who made this the longest mini game by page count ever. every post in this game was good and useful which means this is a totally legitimate record for which I should be commended

I actually didn't look that up in advance and didn't know it would be so easy to beat btw -- I went with 3000 pages for the unlynchable part b/c that would make this the longest thread on the site and that's funny to me, but I was shocked when I realized partway through the game that this was suddenly the longest mini game ever.

btw I'm very sad that the jeep+MeMe win condition wasn't fulfilled, and as far as I can tell, there wasn't even an attempt made to get in touch with either of them... that would've been the best possible way for this very silly nonsense game to end.

HOW CAN WE SOLVE THIS GAME?

So I kinda forgot the game was happening, but I've played this setup a couple times in sitechat before, (and modded them, too) and usually it doesn't matter who gets lynched first, just because if you get town, you get a confirmed townie, and most of the time by the first couple minutes based on who's working with who and so on and so forth. I saw the votecount and it looked like it was him or you. I knew if I voted you I'd either get scum and p much win, or I'd get town and you'd shoot him (killing scum). That's how it goes pretty much every time. So I flipped a coin that would only land heads up.

I get this setup mixed up a lot, though, with SS3 (and also every time I skim this I think townies are perma one-shot lynchproof) which is why I posted like I did at beginning of day 2. I know you know I'm town, cuz if you didn't think I was, you'd have shot me yesterday. Let's lynch RC and win this thing for the homies?
