Rules: Influenced and possibly even adjusted from people like MeMe, Dragon Phoenix, and SaveTheDragons.
[1] Each day you may try to lynch somebody. A lynch requires a total number of votes that is strictly more than half the people alive. A normal lynch is unrevocable. If necessary, I will install a deadline. At the deadline, the number of votes to lynch will be decreased by 1. If there is a tie at the deadline, nobody will be lynched.
[2] Please bold your votes and unvotes as in
vote: Thok
. I would appreciate it if you include the name of any person you unvote, but I do not require it. I would prefer that you unvote before voting, but I do not require it.
[3] No talking to other people outside the thread during the day. You may only talk to other people outside the thread at night if it is part of your role.
[4] Do not edit your posts. Do not use code=black tags or size=normal tags.
Do not hack into mafiascum's php code in order to install invistext or spoiler tags;
moreover if somebody does so, do not use invistext or spoiler tags.
[5] Do not quote PM's from the mod. Do not fakequote PM's from the mod. You are allowed to paraphrase or fake a paraphrase of a mod PM. You are allowed to quote or paraphrase anything I say in the thread.
[6] Once you are dead, you are dead. You may post a simple "Bah!" post, but no game related content. Something like "It's obvious who should be lynched" or "You got me, but for the wrong reasons" is game related content, even if you don't include people's names.
[7] Try to be relatively civil to each other. I know you're trying to kill each other, but that's no reason to insult somebody's mother.
[8] I am the mod, but I do occasionally make mistakes. (Shock! Dismay!) If you think I have made a mistake, please send me a PM.
[9] I will try to put up a vote count each page or so. If you feel that I have gone too long without putting up a vote count, please either ask for a votecount in thread or PM me to let me know.
[10] Please let your fellow players and your mod know if you are going to be unable to post for a period of more than 48 hours. Please try to make at least one post per real-lifeday. Multiple posts in one day are even better.
[11] I reserve the right to do an activity check if I feel the game is moving too slowly. In addition, if you feel a person has gone too long without posting (say 3-5 days) please either PM me with a request for prods, or make a statement in thread of the form
Please Prod LurkerMclurk
. If a person goes two days without responding to a prod, I will replace them. For purposes of this rule, the weekend counts as one day.
[12] Each day will have last a maximum of 3 real life weeks. Under some circumstances I will grant an extension of at most a week long if the members of the game request it. However, you are generally better off trying to get a lynch done before the deadline hits.
[13] I reserve the right to mod decisions about issues not covered by the previous rules at my discretion. I don't plan on using this power unless something strange happens.
This game is an open set up F11 game. We have a 1 in 4 chance of using any of the following set ups.
a. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Cop, 1 Doctor, and 5 vanilla townies
b. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, and 7 vanilla townies
c. 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Cop, and 6 vanilla townies
d. 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, and 6 vanilla townies
All roles and the set up will be selected by random.org. For example, do not assume that the scum group contains 1 IC and 1 newbie.
Here are role PM's.
Mafia:

, along with your partner _________ (who is simply a
Goon). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched. You win when all pro-town players are dead, or nothing can prevent this.
You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill/roleblock (your team can do both as long as the mafia Roleblocker is alive.)
Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.
Please confirm in the thread.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill (if your partner also lives, they can send in a separate choice to roleblock someone).

Doctor:

, and you can protect people from harm. Each Night, you may send me a choice via PM of who to protect; if they come under attack by the Mafia, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correctly during the Day.
Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (the person you protect will never die on the night they are protected, unless you are
roleblocked). You may not protect yourself.
Please confirm in the thread.
Cop:

, and you can tell good from bad. Each Night, you may send a player's name to me; I will let you know if your investigation shows that they are Mafia or Town. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.
Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues), unless you are
roleblocked. You cannot investigate yourself.
Please confirm in the thread.
Townies:

Please confirm in the thread.
I replaced into Chess Mafia for 6 months, and all I got was a win and this lousy sig.
