Encore Mafia

This will be a 12-player game run as a medium between iPick and uPick. Everyone who joins will receive a Role PM for a role he or she has already played in his or her Mafia career. While no player will be allowed to choose

which

old role he/she will play, anyone in the game is more than welcome to PM the Moderator (myself) and suggest an old role he/she would like to play again. There will be some time between signups filling and the game starting while I create the setup and have it reviewed by one or two reviewers (I'll be working on finding people interested soon). The game is likely to include some variant mechanics which will accommodate certain mechanics implied by the various roles. If you'd like to relive your past glories or give them a shot at a better result, uh, yeah this might be a relevant game. While there will be no guarantees of a no-vanilla setup, there will be a bias towards giving players interesting non-vanilla roles. I may or may not guarantee a no-vanilla or a some-vanilla game when the game begins.

Only players who have completed at least one game as Town and one game as an anti-Town alignment by the time the game goes into signups will be accepted, for what I hope are obvious reasons.

Only completed games where the role information is completely public (e.g. the Moderator posted all the initial Role PMs in the thread after the game had been completed) are eligible to have roles taken from them. Games a player replaced in for and played until the completion of the game are eligible to have that player's role taken from them, but games a player replaced out of are not unless the player brings the possibility to my attention and explains extenuating circumstances. As usual, I'm happy to make an exception for eligibility of such roles if you have a decent reason and are willing to ask.

I'll be available to take signups starting August 1st. I currently have two pre-/ins and I believe I'm allowed six. If you're interested, PM me and I'll reserve you a spot. When I run out of available pre-/in slots, interested players will go on my list of people I will PM to let them know when the game is about to go into signups.

• Player-related Information
  • All prospective players must have participated in at least two non-Newbie games which have run to completion on this site in order to participate. The Moderator is willing to make exceptions; a brief PM in which you explain your circumstances, why you wish to play in the game, and why the Moderator should assume that you can play at a reasonably high level in a Large Theme game with complex mechanics is likely to plead your case effectively, should you not meet the requirements.
    
  • Two-player hydras, while accepted in this game, must be cleared with the Moderator first. All hydras must have their members publicly revealed. The Moderator reserves the right to limit or cap the number of hydras in the game as she sees fit, whenever she may decide to implement such a policy. All hydras will meet the player requirements for the game or have received an exception as explained above.
    
  • There are
    11
    12
    pre-/in slots available for this game; three are taken. If any player applies for a pre-/in slot after all of the ones available are taken, he or she will be given the option to be alerted by a private message when signups start.
  
  
• Setup-related Information
  • The flavor and setup of the game (including mechanics) draw various degrees of inspiration from
    The Children of Húrin
    , by J.R.R. Tolkien. No knowledge of the story is necessary to play effectively and enjoy the game. Flavor knowledge may make the game more enjoyable.
    
  • The Ruleset is anticipated to have approximately 14-day deadlines, with Nights liable to last 48 hours. This may be amended before or during the game, and small variations are generally to be expected. This will
    not
    be a game run under the Bad at Mafia ruleset or a variation thereof, and activity penalties are not liable to be the same as those stipulated in it.
    
  • While no direct (or, as far as I can see, implied) lies to the players are involved, this
    is
    a game with distinct elements of bastardry. If every faction feels, at some point, at least a little bit screwed over, that will be
    just as planned
    . When signing up for this game, please be aware that
    no guarantees
    are made against any controversial setup element or Moderator behavior.
    
  • Some mechanic-elements of the game draw strongly on Vi's innovative Holy Orders mechanic. Every effort will be made to see that those elements, such as they are, are implemented in such a way that all players are satisfied with their game experiences.
