Rules


General Rules:


  1. The site-wide rules are in effect here, as everywhere.
  2. If you have a question, you may either PM me or post in
    bold
    in the thread. If you don't bold a question for me, I may see it, but I may not.
  3. You may not use hidden, encrypted or overly-small text.
  4. Play nice. Cursing is fine, but please don't insult one another.
  5. Do not discuss this game anywhere but in the game thread (and mafia thread if applicable). Do not discuss other ongoing games in this thread.
  6. Do not quote communications with me of any sort. Paraphrasing is okay, but has bounds. If you are unsure whether you have paraphrased sufficiently, you are free to ask me via PM.
  7. Do not use provable randomization in this game. Saying that you rolled a die is fine, using dice tags is not.
  8. My color is
    turquoise
    . Please don't use it!
  9. Rulebreaking can and will be punished with anything ranging from a warning to a force-replace or modkill. I reserve the right to take whatever action I see fit without advance notice. I recommend not pushing my buttons!
  10. I may change the rules at will. Deliberately seeking rule loopholes will be treated harshly.


Voting and Lynching:


  1. Please use either bold tags or vote tags to vote. If you do not, your vote will not count. Said tags look like this:

    Code: Select all

    [b]Vote: Player[/b]

    Code: Select all

    [v]Player[/v]

  2. Unvoting is not required when changing a vote. Please don't use any voting tricks. If it's in bold/vote tags and it looks like a vote, it's a vote.
  3. Lynch happens when the majority votes the same person. Once a lynch has been reached, all living players including the lynchee can still post until I arrive to lock the thread.
  4. If the deadline is reached before the lynch has reached, the day will end with
    No Lynch
    .
  5. Once your role has been revealed by yours truly, please do not post.


Activity and Deadlines:


  1. Deadline for each day is 2 weeks.
  2. If you're on V/LA (Vacation/Limited Access), please tell me beforehand via PM or by posting to that effect in thread.
  3. If you don't post here for 48 real hours, I will prod you. Failure to receive prod within 24 hours or receiving a 3rd prod may cause force-replacement at my discretion.
  4. If you do not submit an action before night ends, you will do nothing.
  5. I may extend deadlines if I feel it is necessary. Generally, the only likely reason for this is in case of replacements.

Newbie Setup


Matrix6 (as designed by Cogito Ergo Sum):


ABC
1Town JailkeeperVanilla TownieMafia Goon
2Mafia RoleblockerTown CopTown Doctor
3Town 1-shot BulletproofMafia GoonTown Tracker


Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates either one row or one column. The remaining six roles will be filled in by mafia goons and vanilla townies appropriately, to create a 2-mafia and 7-town setup. For example Row 1 (1 jailkeeper, 1 vanilla townie, 1 mafia goon) would add an additional 5 vanilla townies and 1 mafia goon, for a total setup of 1 jailkeeper, 6 vanilla townies, and 2 mafia goons.


*Roleblocker will take precedence over jailkeeper when resolving night actions should that apply.

short while is an oxymoron and an oxymoron is a contradiction between two words (the word oxymoron in itself is an oxymoron; with oxy meaning dull in latin and moron meaning sharp). only the scum contradict because THEY are the ones lying.

I wasn't expecting anyone to seriously tell me their role in response to that. I meant it more as a random question stage thing. I was expecting answers like "no, i was hoping to get scum because I was town last time", joking answers like "I was hoping for Jester but it looks like I got Cult Leader" (note for newbies: neither of those roles appear in newbie games), or to be ignored. But I'll stop now that we have a better conversation topic:

You said your vote on saad was a serious one, so what about his posts seems scummy? The early mafia mention in 6?

Everything he has posted so far looks scummy.

I will elaborate when more people have posted.

You're talking as if you're not a newbie. So this is an alt?

I don't see the point in random questions that lead to random, non alignment-indicative, jokey answers. Do you?

It's only role-fishing if he followed up with "and what role did you want?"

Also, hi! I was looking through my past newbie games, and I didn't realize how many we've actually played together. I feel like the last one we were in, I told everyone I didn't remember anything about you...which was true...and now I feel bad since I feel like I should've... -_-
Glork and quadz08 are my favorite.

I like tomatoes.

I only remember the one game we played together? The one Marquis modded.

I'm not sure why you made that comment either...
