Welcome to Thespival Mafia! Here are my rules of mafia I expect we adhere to for fun and fatality.
Standard Rules
[list][*]Votes must be in bold, preferably in the format of Vote: Person. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted. Please be attentive and unvote, if necessary, before casting a new vote. This is not required, but I’d appreciate it. You wouldn't want to anger your host, now, would you?
[*]Lynchings will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. You may vote: no lynch – majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
[*]The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread, before or during the game by its participants, unless your role specifically states that you may do so.
[*]Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing. Not even a “Bah!” post.
[*]Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts. You shouldn't be able to, but just in case.
[*]Don’t quote or paraphrase any PMs from me. You should be able to pretend in thread that I'm not a part of this game outside of this thread, other than necessary nightchoice responses, if any. Don't even refer to my responses (or lack thereof).
[*]If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, tough! No choice will be made.
[*]If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. I will try and be fairly active with prods, and will gladly accept prod requests from players for other players, either in thread or out of it. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
[*]Remember, it’s a game. It’s supposed to played. It’s supposed to be fun. Do your part.[/list:u]
Supplementary Rules
[list][*]Players who do not post for 96 hours without notice will be replaced. I do not expect to make exceptions to this, so please keep posting.
[*]Each day will have an automatic 3-week deadline. I will remove the deadline only if there are 5 or fewer players. At a deadline, a simple plurality will be sufficient to lynch a player, using longest-held-last-vote as a tie-breaker. If there are any questions about this, please ask and I will be happy to clarify. [i]If players plead for a 72-hour extension, I may grant it once per daycycle, but I will not grant it if there are only 24 hours remaining until the deadline.[/i]
[*]Role PMs are largely crafted from [url=http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3864]this thread[/url], and may or may not have flavor. The Townie Role PM looks like this:
[quote="Townie Role PM"] [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/Thesp/Mafia/townie.png[/img]
You are a Townie. You have no nightchoice.
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.[/quote]
All pro-town win conditions are identical. The Mafia win condition reads as such:
[quote="Mafia Win Condition"]You win when at least half of the living players are mafia, or when nothing can prevent the same.[/quote]
There is a Jester, whose win condition reads as such:
[quote="Jester Win Condition"]You win if and only if you are lynched on any day except the first. [i]Please note that once all other anti-town roles have been killed, the game will end whether or not you have been lynched.[/i][/quote][i]Note: If the Jester wins, we will continue playing for 2nd place.[/i]
[*]One player, FlameAxe [i](who replaced tyhess & Mr_Gnome_It_All)[/i], has this as part of his/her Role PM:
[quote="Cult of the Couch Recruiter Role PM"][img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/Thesp/Mafia/CoC2660044.png[/img]
You are the Cult of the Couch Recruiter. Your role is public, but your alignment is not. Each night, you may select a person to join the Cult of the Couch. That player must accept, may no longer vote, and their name will be public. The number of your votes are equal to the number of members of the Cult of the Couch, and they may not be split up among different people. (e.g. If you and two others comprise the Cult of the Couch, your vote counts for 3 votes.) Should you die, the Cult of the Couch is no more, and former members will regain their ability to vote.[/quote]
This player may or may not have other abilities, and may or may not be aligned with the town.
[*]Sanity may affect nightchoice results.
[*]This game will begin in the Day Phase.[/list:u]
