STUFF I'D LIKE YOU TO KNOW

(I)

Regardless of what is written here, I may modkill, replace, edit or delete posts, modify rules, or take any other action for any reason, or for no reason.

My job is not to provide lawyer-grade loophole-proof rules. Arbitration sometimes requires subjective discretion.
(II) Serious issues should be handled with the moderator privately. Votecount errors are not serious and may be pointed out in the thread. Please emphasize anything you want me to see in the thread, as I may miss it while skimming.
(III) This is a game, not a street fight. Harassment is not a legitimate strategy. Play nice.
(IV) If you aren't sure about anything, you can always ask me about it. I'm here to help.

SOME OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF

(a)

Votes

. Vote with [

vote

] tags, as in VOTE: PlayerPerson.

You cannot vote for yourself.

If you mess up the formatting on your vote, post again with the correct formatting. Unvote with [

unvote

] tags. Unvotes are not necessary to place a new vote. Votecounts will be edited into every 25th post, into a summation on the first page, and into any post requesting one.
(b)

Day

. Days do not have preset deadlines, but expect them around 3 weeks in. Deadlines initiate a brief voting-only period to determine the lynch. The vote requirement will not change. If the deadline fails to produce a lynch, there won't be one.
(c)

Night

. Nights last about half a week. Failing to submit an action usually means taking no action.

You may not do anything to yourself

— kill, investigate, protect, track, whatever — unless your role requires two targets (such as a redirect or swap) or your role explicitly says you can.
(d)

Replacements

. Replacements may happen

without notice

if you can't be bothered to post and I don't know about any trips to Atlantis. (If you are going to Atlantis, please tell me, so I don't assume you have been eaten by grues and replace you.)

Nighttime replacements extend the phase by 24 hours.

Daytime replacements remove the player's vote.
(e)

Activity.

Players may request prods on players (including for themselves, such as asking for reminders at specific game intervals) but otherwise I don't necesssarily prod. Post your availability changes in the thread, as I will not pass on any private communication.
(f)

Moderator interaction

. Make it clear you are addressing me if you need me to respond in the thread. Wondering aloud about game mechanics will not induce a reply. I will not discuss private communications, so feel free to fabricate conversations with me, but keep in mind that others are also free to ask me hypothetical questions.
(g)

Quotes

. Please

do not alter quoted text

. You may trim a quote down to

parts

of a post, but make no modifications to the text.
(h) Congratulations on reading all of the specific rules. Have a strawberry. More general rules follow.

STUFF YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW

Stuff in the forum rules and guidelines naturally applies.

Further information:

— Lynches take a simple majority of votes (e.g. 4/6 or 4/7).
— Votes can't be changed after a lynch.
— You may vote not to lynch. Not lynching takes half of the votes, rounded up (e.g. 3/6 or 4/7).
— Moderator-induced death may shift the day to night.
— Twilight (after lynch, prior to thread lock) is open for posts.
— Dead players should not post until the game is over.
— Flavour is for entertainment purposes and is not intended to affect the game.
— You may submit "no action" if you have a night action you do not want to use.

Do not:

— cheat.
— communicate with other players outside the thread regarding this game (except where allowed by roles) while it is ongoing.
— attempt to locate, obtain access to, or share anything for the game from outside the thread, such as role text, private threads, or any communication with the moderator.
— attempt to use the specifics of restricted information (such as quoting distinguishing portions of role text, or stating what time you received your role).
— play by any alignment other than that given in your role.
— edit or delete posts (if for some reason you can).
— post in the thread during the Night phase (if for some reason you can).
— post in the thread if you are dead.
— hide messages in the thread, such as via small font, background colours, encryption, or sneaking text into tags.
— deliberately and maliciously sabotage your team.
— impersonate the moderator(s).
— lie to the moderator(s).
— discuss ongoing games.
— make bets regarding game roles or outcomes.
— pretend to do any mentioned bans.

MORE STUFF!

The open setup for this game is Stack the Deck.

The starting setup for this game is:

2

Mafia Goons

and 1

Mafia Traitor

(vs) 9

townies

with two unassigned town abilities [/list]
Town abilities are drawn from the following:

Goon Cop
[*]

Roleblocker
[*]

Tracker
[*]

Bodyguard
[*]

Vigilante
[*]

Innocent

(reveal at start of day one)

[/list]

During setup, the Mafia will select 0-3 modifications to the Mafia team:

Change a Mafia Goon to Mafia

Role Cop

[*] Change a Mafia Goon to Mafia

Bulletproof

[*] Change a Mafia Goon to Mafia

JOAT (One Shot Ninja, One Shot Strongman)

[*] Recruit the Mafia Traitor as a Mafia Goon
[*] Enable passive daytalk

[/list]

Each

modification the Mafia team takes

adds

+1 ability to the Town

from the original list; the Town will have 2-5 abilities depending on this.

All players are given basic setup roles to begin with. The Mafia have 72 hours to select changes. After setup, new roles will go out.
No player may receive more than one ability.
No ability will be selected more than once.
If your role did not change, you will not receive a new PM.
The Traitor is not eligible for Mafia abilities unless he is recruited and becomes a Goon.
All abilities (both Mafia and Town) will be distributed at random to eligible players.
The Innocent player is confirmed publicly at the start of the game.
