Rules

Inspired by Equinox's, Glork's and Ether's rulesets.

important bit

• 14-day day phase, 48 hour night phase
  
• Majority lynches
  
• 48 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement, 24 hour weekends
  
• Bah posts allowed (limit: 1, free of game related content)
  
• I have some unusual rules about animated GIFs, tiny text, and prodging. Scroll down for details.
  
• Don’t be a dick

1. Follow all site rules.
   
   
2. Mod colour
   – My mod colour is
   baby shit green
   ; don't use it.
   
3. Behaviour
   - Don’t be a dick. This is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player. If your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. If you do not stop, I will tell you to stop. If you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced. Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself lynched if you try it.
   
4. Don't talk about ongoing games
   - You may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
   
5. Animated GIFs
   - are of the devil, but they are permitted behind spoilers if clearly labelled as such.
   
6. Tiny text
   - is also of the devil, keep it 70+ please.
   
7. Provable randomness
   - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
   
8. Claiming scum
   - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
   
9. Cryptography
   - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
   
10. Confirmation
    - You have about 72 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
    
11. Days
    - Days last about 14 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements.
    
12. Activity
    - You must post at least once every 48 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. The activity timers run at half-speed on weekends. Players can request me to prod somebody early. This will only count as an official prod if you don't post before you would have been due for a prod.
    
13. Vacation/Limited Access
    If you need to be absent for longer than this, you should declare
    V/LA
    in bold in the thread like this: [
    b]

    @Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday

    [
    /b]. While you are V/LA, you will be nudged once every 72 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 7 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
    
14. Prodging
    - A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. To avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; xxxx is still scum."
    
15. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
    
16. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Plotinus or
    Vote: Plotinus
    . Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
    v]Plotinus[
    /v] to vote and [
    uv]Plotinus[
    /uv] to unvote.
    
17. Lynching
    - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to lynch somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no lynch, the day will end without a lynch. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no lynch.
    
18. Twilight
    - Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread. You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
    
19. Night
    - Night lasts at least 48 hours. The night phase can be shortened if every living player -- even those with no night actions -- agrees to it and if I'm not busy.
    
20. Action submissions
    - You may submit actions via PM (if town) or PT (if scum). If the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do nothing. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
    
21. Reminders
    - If I don't hear from you about your night actions, I'll PM you 24 hours before the deadline. This doesn't count as a prod. If I still don't hear from you, you will take no action.
    
22. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

All role PMs have been sent out (in the order of the signup list so timestamps mean nothing)! We will start in (expired on 2017-08-28 18:05:00) or when [8/9] people have confirmed, whichever happens sooner.

The above clock and any others used throughout this game will be accurate from the time you loaded the page.

edit: We have 7/9 already!

Everybody

(0): nobody

L-5

Not Voting

(9): acidphoenix, Assemblerotws, Chucksmohawk, Creature, cseel, Fenrir, Raya36, Spartan117, Waffle380

Deadline:

(expired on 2017-09-09 15:30:00).

Mod notes:

Good luck everyone!

Please take a moment to familiarise yourselves with my ruleset because I have some rules you may not have encountered in other games before regarding animated gifs, tiny text, prodging and perhaps some other things!

If you have played in one of my games before, please be aware that my ruleset has changed substantially. Take the time to reread at least the bold colourful parts if not the whole thing.

8 people have confirmed already so we can get started! Waffle380 has another (expired on 2017-08-28 18:05:00) to confirm before they will be replaced. Due to the fact we don't have full confirmations, the Mafia Private Topic will remain open until 48 hours after we get a full complement of players.

[acidphoenix]

hurrah!

VOTE: Fenrir

[Raya36]

Hey everyone!

VOTE: Waffle

[acidphoenix]

get in here so i can

push your mislynch

push your mislynch!

pedit OH COME ON NOW YOU DO THIS

[Creature]

Welcome, I am the IC (Inexperience Challenged). My role was as randomized as any of you and I'll still play to whatever win condition I got. However, I'll look to teach you and make this game the most enjoyable I can do.

This is the Random Voting Stage, known as RVS. As there's not much to discuss, you're allowed to vote anyone you want for the most silly reasons. However, you're welcome to take the game out of the RVS once you got a belief.

Even though it's RVS, I highly recommend to not put more than 3 votes on any wagon.

[Creature]

This is a flowchart with the number of players, the number of votes needed to reach majority and when you should explicitly say it's L-1.

9 players alive	5 votes to lynch	It's L-1 when a wagon earns 4 votes
8 players alive	5 votes to lynch	It's L-1 when a wagon earns 4 votes
7 players alive	4 votes to lynch	It's L-1 when a wagon earns 3 votes
6 players alive	4 votes to lynch	It's L-1 when a wagon earns 3 votes
5 players alive	3 votes to lynch	It's L-1 when a wagon earns 2 votes
4 players alive	3 votes to lynch	It's L-1 when a wagon earns 2 votes
3 players alive	2 votes to lynch	It's L-1 when a wagon earns 1 votes (although, it should be obvious here)

I'm particularly not fond of putting wagons to L-1 unless I'm somewhat confidente the wagonee is scum.

If you're bringing a wagon to L-1, preferably put it in bold that's L-1. If a wagon is on L-1, you don't vote here unless we collectively agreed to lynch. We don't need premature hammers.

Remember to count the votes that the player you want to vote got, you may be putting someone to L-1 without being aware or possibly hammering.

[Creature]

This is a wagon:

Player A¹ (2): Player B², Player C

¹ = Wagonee
² = Wagoner

A hammer is the vote that would lock the lynch. Example: Today, the fifth vote on the wagon would be the hammer and would end the day.

so what you mean is we should take you to l-1 right

or l-0

[Creature]

In this setup, town got some power roles. However, we can't rely on these roles.

Try not to claim (whether if you're a PR¹ or a VT²) without a reason. You're not gonna be lynched without getting the chance to claim.

¹ = Power Role, anything which gives you power for the night besides mafia's kill.
² = Vanilla Town, abbreviated.

I'd say you should claim if:

• you're at L-1 and someone intents to hammer or if you feel players are ready to end the day with your lynch;
  
• you got an incriminating result (either cop's
  Mafia
  result or tracker tracking someone to the kill);
  
• we agree to a massclaim (we usually do these in order or with popcorn).

Anyway, it's more likely the other players will tell when it's the right time to claim.

[Creature]

There's no fix strategy to catch scum¹. I'd recommend you to ask "what would town/scum do right now? would town/scum do this?"

¹ = We call any role that's supposed to eliminate town as "scum".

For scum, you'd have to make others think you're town and make them lynch themselves. Hence why if you know how to play town it should be easier to play scum.

Any way, even if you don't have any idea, try to be active and engage with players, or atleast show you're there. Posting some filler posts is tolerable as long it's not too much. Just keep this game healthly active.

My personal recommendation would be spectating other games going on, you're going to get an idea of how town and scum plays.

Don't talk about them nor post at games you're not in.

[Creature]

Btw, this question directed to anyone, which days you're active?

[Chucksmohawk]

Hey everyone.

I'm a little too new to this not to follow the precedent, so I'll wave hello by saying

VOTE: cseel

[Creature]

Anything not clear?

[Chucksmohawk]

No I think I'm clear for now, thanks. Find scum, lynch scum, repeat.

As IC, you're here to help, but are as part of the game as anyone. So trust mechanic type advice from you, but otherwise nothing else right?

[Chucksmohawk]

Actually, one question. In the rule set, rule 8 includes "claiming scum with another player is against the rules". I'm not sure what that means, can you give me an example? Thanks.

[acidphoenix]

it means you can't say "I claim scum with waffle380"

[acidphoenix]

because if you're right, you're throwing

if you're lying, you're doing shitty loophole abuse

[Creature]

It's more like "Don't gamethrown or don't pretend to gamethrow"

[Creature]

Hi Assemblerotws

I'm seeing you online...

[Creature]

Btw, this question directed to anyone, which days you're active?

[acidphoenix]

all of them, except next weekend
