The site-wide rules apply. Read them, know them, love them, but do not break them.
Play to win.
I reserve the right to change the rules at any time for any reason. If I do this, the rule changes will be posted in thread.
- The Inviolable Rules
If you’re unsure if what you’re going to do will break a rule, ASK.
We're all here to have fun. Tempers may flare, but avoid personal attacks and keep it civil.
Do not edit or delete your posts in this thread. If there is a problem with a post, such as incorrect formatting, ask me to fix it for you.
Do not quote communications outside the game thread, including role PMs, Quicktopics, etc, in the game thread. This specifically includes PM timestamps. Paraphrasing is allowed. If in doubt, ask.
Do not use cryptography, invisible text, tiny text, or the like.
Do not use any form of provable randomness. Claiming you rolled dice and acting on that is fine. Using dice tags is not.
Do not impersonate or pretend to be the moderator.
If I edit a post, my words will be in purple.
Do not use this color.
Do not talk about this game outside of this game thread until it is completed, unless I have specifically told you it is allowed.
Do not bring outside factors into this game. This includes making bets, promises of real life rewards, etc.
Do not pretend to break one of these rules. Pretending to break a rule will be treated the same as breaking the rule.
Breaking one of these rules may result in a modkill. If you are modkilled, you may become a Neutral Survivor, and thus automatically lose. Modkilling may or may not end the Day.
- The Activity Rules
Each player is expected to post at least once every 72 real life hours. If a player goes 72 real life hours without posting, they may be prodded. Prods will be announced in thread.
If a player does not respond to their prod within 24 real life hours, is prodded twice in the same Day, or three times in total within the game, they may be force-replaced.
If you will be V/LA, please alert me in the thread or via PM. I do not read the V/LA thread.
Each Day will have a deadline of fourteen real life days.
In the event deadline is reached before a lynch occurs, no lynch will occur.
This game uses Instant Night. All Night actions must be submitted to the mod during the Day.
They may be changed at any point up until the Day ends. The mod will process all actions as part of the lynch scene, and the new Day will start immediately thereafter.
I will accept PMs of conditional actions to take (such as, "If Magua votes me, dayvig him")
I may extend deadlines in the event replacements must be found. This will be announced in thread.
- The Voting Rules
Votes must be bolded to count, and in the format of VOTE: Magua. Abbreviations, missing punctuation, and misspellings will be accepted as long as the vote is bolded and it is obvious to me who is being voted for.
Unvoting is nice, but is not necessary.
Once a majority of votes is reached (# of players / 2 + 1, rounded down), that person is lynched. Day is over, and no further votes/unvotes/Day abilities will be counted.
If you are dead, that is it. Do not post. Not even a "Bah" post.
You may VOTE: No Lynch. It still requires a majority of votes to end the Day before deadline.
II. Setup Rules and Information
Despite any appearances or flavor to the contrary, this is a Mafia game. There is a town, there are scum, etc.
The mod is not a player.
Above all else, make sure that you never, ever, ev...
Red, Friend Computer!
Friend Computer, I have a question!
My Role PM says something about Treason Points! How do those work?
Er...yes, Friend Computer! Yes! Very loyal!
Ha ha, no, Friend Computer, no I don’t! Just, ah, forget I asked!
…
Friend Computer, another question!
My Role PM says something about informing on other players. How does that work?
*gulp* What if someone lied in a claim?

What is your security clearance, citizen?
I'm sorry, that information is not available to you at this time.
The TWN Sector briefing room. A typical room to find a group of Troubleshooters in, the briefing room is relatively run-of-the-mill. Uncomfortable benches for you to sit on, a 3" thick polycarbonate wall protecting where the briefing officer would sit, various bullet holes and scorch marks on the walls telling tales of previous weapons fire.
However, there is no briefing officer here on this daycycle. Instead, there is a Computer monitor.
The Computer speaks!
*various assents, murmurs of "Obviously for a very good reason, Friend Computer!" and the like echo through the room*
*various lasers are unholstered and pointed in various directions*
*various "Thank you, Friend Computers!", various checking of any possible exits from the room*

So let me clarify something bout these traitor points. Some abilities gain traitor points, and mafia action would usually gain points than others, right
Citizen Saul-R-ESS mandatorily happy to report for duty!
Friend Computer, it has come to my attention that theamatue-R is asking further questions about treason points. Since only traitors have any reason to fear treason points, I would like to VOTE: theamatuer
as he is obviously one of the traitors!
Thank you, Friend Computer! As always, it is my pleasure to serve.

My favorite thing about serving the computer is that it brings all my friends together!

Also, VOTE: UberNinja for requesting admission to a secret cult during pregame times.

Citizen Saul-R-ESS mandatorily making some observations!
I must say how that my favorite thing about serving the Computer is that Friend Computer has made it so easy for me to find traitors.
Why just look at theamtue-R, once again doing treasonous things like asking about the rules! Clearly there is no bigger traitor in all of Alpha Complex!
Thank you, Friend Computer! As always, it is my pleasure to serve.

. For this reason, we should make sure we're not quicklynching. I'm not saying we should necessarily drag it out right until deadline, but let's make sure we're not doing stupid shit, yeah?

Really? That's annoying and really inhibits town PRs.
Are there any other unfortunate aspects to this game?

Huh?

I didn't really read my role PM and was wondering why everyone was saying I love you to the computer.
I don't understand Treason Points or the traitor aspect. If someone gains enough treason points or is correctly guessed they become a traitor and flip as such?
