Please note three fairly unique rules:
1. This game uses instant night, so all action choices must be given before the thread is locked for night.
2. All votes and unvotes must be proceeded by ##. For example,
##vote: Zoraster
3. There is a posting restriction of 1000 words per post in this game.
Premise
This game has exactly one mafia with three members. If two out of the three mafia members are eliminated, the remaining mafia member waves a white flag and surrenders. Thus, the town wins.
Voting and Lynches
1. Vote by typing ## followed by vote in bold. For example,
##vote: Zoraster
.
2. Unvoting is discouraged before placing a new vote, but to unvote in other situations, simply put ## in front of unvote. For example,
##unvote
3. Unless altered by role, the player who receives a majority of the votes at any time will be lynched, ending the day.
4. This game will have deadlines. They will be set roughly two weeks from the start of the day, but it will be adjusted to take into account weekends, my schedule, etc.
5. If the deadline is reached with no majority, no one will be lynched.
6. To vote for no lynch, simply
##Vote: No Lynch
Instant Night
1. Instant night means that
all
actions must be turned into the mod before the night begins. These actions may be submitted during the day or during twilight (the period between the “hammer” or majority vote and when the thread is locked for the night).
2. Twilight will end when I get to the game, so you should not count on being able to submit your action at this point.
3. You may change your night action as many times as you want during the day or twilight with no penalty.
4. If you do not submit an action before night falls,
you will not perform the action
. Thus, it is in your best interest to always submit an action and then change it as the day progresses.
5. Finally, please note that the mafia team has day talk abilities.
Posting Restriction
No post may exceed 1000 words unless it is the first major post of a replacement. Posting multiple times in a row to circumvent the posting restriction will lead to the same punishment as violating it. This said, this is not intended to be a strict rule. If a post goes over the limit, it will likely only get a warning. Continual violations of the rule, especially if it is knowingly done, will be met with stiffer consequences.
Activity Requirement
I take activity very seriously. This game in particular revolves around scum hunting. Scum hunting becomes impossible with flaking and lurking. Therefore, you are expected to post regularly, and to do so with more content than simply, “prod dodge” or something to that nature.
1. Prods will be given either on request (simply type
Prod: Zoraster
) at any time or by initiative of the mod. However, a mod initiative prod will
not
be announced within the game. A player initiated prod may be confirmed by the mod in the game.
2. Everyone has obligations that require them to step away for a while. You MUST indicate that you are going
V/LA
in the thread if you are planning on doing so. You must indicate the date you intend to return.
3. Not acting on a prod swiftly or continually needing a prod is grounds for replacement. I reserve the right to replace any player who is not contributing to the game.
Other
1. No racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. language should be used during this game.
2. No copying of role PMs or other communications with the mod. You may paraphrase, but it may not be designed in any way to show a particular word choice, etc.
3. Do not try other “sneaky” tactics such as speaking in code.
4. I make mistakes. For vote count mistakes, please notify me in bold in the thread. For other mistakes, please contact me by PM.
5. I reserve the right to alter, clarify, or add to the rules.
This thread is now unlocked. The game will only start when I have 8/11 confirmations by PM (not here). Until this time, you may talk, vote, etc. to your hearts content, but I will not COUNT votes until the confirmations are in and the day officially begins.

I believe I have an excellent strategy for this game which I will reveal on page 14. Until then happy posting.
vote:robbnva
Last 2 games I've been in that zor's hosted he asked the mafia to confirm in the qt, not pm. robbn thinking he had to confirm in thread indicates that he didn't get a townie pm telling him to confirm by pm.
I don't think Rob or the doc have the same role PM as I do. I was told very clearly to confirm by PM.
It may be even worse with the doc, as Jack had called Robb out in the post directly above his. It's pretty bad when you neglect to read a thread with a grand total of 5 posts.
i'm pretty new to the site and in the newbie game we had to confirm in the thread, I figured that was the norm for all agmes on here when you start, regardless of what the role pm to me said.
This is only the 2nd game I have started on this site so please excuse my n00b behavior
fwiw, I confirmed in pm also.
Proudest mafia moment was the greatest unvote in the history of mafiascum.
