Jake's Grander Idea™

Modded by Jake The Wolfie, backed up by Ircher.


Setup InformationThis is Classic Grand Idea Mafia, but with much more Moderator Influence.
Grand Idea Mafia is a game where all player's roles are randomly generated from the Grand Idea Mafia Thread.
Please expect the Moderator to directly influence the game, for both his enjoyment and yours.
I may re-write the name of your role to fit with theming.
Balance is explicitly not guaranteed.

Other InformationHydra are allowed, and may have an infinite amount of heads.
I reserve the right to refuse any player from signing up for any reason and based upon my discretion.
I am reiterating that there will be direct Moderator influence in this game.


Spoiler: The Ruleset which I shall use.
Rules


Adapted from Plotinus' ruleset.

important bit
  • *All Days are 7 days long. Day 1 is 10 days long.
  • All nights are 2 days long
  • Majority executions.
  • 36 hours (1.5 days) before a prod, 1 day before replacement, weekends are 1 day collectively.
  • Dead players may not post, unless granted permission by me.
  • Don’t be a dick

  1. Follow all site rules.

  2. Mod color
    – My mod color is
    orange
    . Do not try to impersonate me.
  3. Behavior
    - Try to remain calm and respectful towards your fellow players. No one wants someone insulting them.
  4. Ongoing Games
    - Do not talk about any currently Ongoing Games in either the main thread or any PTs
  5. Animated GIFs
    - Keep them inside of
    Spoiler:
    tags.
  6. Text size
    - Anything smaller than small (75) text should not be used. Anything bigger than unaltered text should be used conservatively.
  7. Provable randomness
    - Do not use this to publicly decide an action.
  8. Claiming scum
    - Do not implicate anyone else when you claim scum, even if you are not scum or if they are not your buddies.
  9. Cryptography
    - Cryptography is against the rules, however Breadcrumbing is okay.
  10. Confirmation
    You have 3 days to confirm your role and your alignment via PM. The game will start sooner if 18 players confirm. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
  11. Days
    - Day 1 lasts 10 days and other days last 7 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements, or if the majority of players make it clear to me that an extension is desired.
  12. Activity
    - You must post at least once every 36 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 1 day to post in the game thread or I will replace you. If you come back before I find a replacement, you can stay. Weekends count as 1 collective day, and thus the timer will be half as fast. 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. If you haven't posted in the 24 hours before the thread is locked for night, you must reply to the night start PM or you will be replaced during the night.
  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 54 hours (2.25 days). Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content (up to moderator digression) in 5 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
  14. Prodging
    - Don't try to avoid a prod by posting nothing of substance.
  15. Private Information
    - Do not Quote (or Fabricate a Quote of) Moderator communication, or Private Topic information. Paraphrasing information is allowed.
  16. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Jake The Wolfie or
    Vote: Jake
    . I request that you try to be clear who you are voting for, if you use a nickname for them. Any votes for no execution using the word "lynch" will not be counted. Unvoting is also allowed.
  17. Execution
    - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to execute somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no execution, the day will end without an execution. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no execution.
  18. Twilight
    - 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 2 days. 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), PT (if scum), or via notes PT (if requested). 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. Replacements
    - If a player is replaced, the deadline for the current phase may be extended by 1 day if the replaced player PMs me requesting for it. If the phase is in the last 24 hours or it is night, this will happen automatically.
  22. 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.
  23. Notes PT
    - Let me know if you want a private thread to store your thoughts and feedback for the other players. This thread will be made public immediately after the game. You may draft posts in your notes PT but you may not talk about your notes PT in public. You definitely may not use the notes PT to demonstrate that you've had a town mindset in private all along; just put your town mindset in public to begin with and keep your notes to yourself.
  24. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!
