rules

shamelessly stolen

inspired by plotinus' and schadd_'s rulesets.

the tl;dr:

~ pre-dance and dances: 8 days. intermission: 2 days.
~ majority yeets.
~ 36 hour before prod, 24 hours before replacement.
~ if you want to replace out, pm me.
~ flavour has no bearing on player alignments.
~ don't be a dick.

the basics:

~ follow all site rules.
~ my mod colour is

teal

. you can use it if you want, just don't attempt to impersonate me.
~ you may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads i have created for this purpose. you may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
~

if you wish to replace out, pm me, do not request replacement in thread.

do not discuss your reasons for replacing out publically. do not threaten to replace out or tell other players to replace out. if you have any concerns that a player should be replaced, pm me.
~ do not quote pm's from the mod at all, either real or fabricated. do not quote posts from private threads. this includes specific timestamps. paraphrasing is acceptable.
~

don’t be a dick.

this is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. attack the play not the player. if your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. if you do not stop, i will tell you to stop. if you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced.
~

flavour is just flavour, and has no bearing on player alignments.

don't use it to make arguments.
~ play to win. seriously claiming scum with another player is against the rules. i will judge what counts as serious - don't toe the line.
~ if you have any questions about the rules, feel free to pm me.

days and voting:

~ pre-dance and dances last up to 8 real-life days.
~ extensions may or may not be granted if there are replacements, or if the circumstances call for it (for example, if the site was experiencing issues).
~ votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: datisi or

vote: datisi

. Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. unvotes are nice but not required. type [

v]datisi[

/v] to vote and [

uv]datisi[

/uv] to unvote.
~ you can use nicknames when voting, as long as it is clear who you're referring to.
~ if i think it’s a vote, it’s a vote.
~ pre-dance ends when 8 pairs are made, or at deadline, whichever comes first.
~ first dance ends when there are 12 players or fewer alive, or at deadline, whichever comes first. players may vote to end the first dance prematurely.
~ it takes (100% of living players + 1) votes to yeet the moderator.

activity and v/la:

~ you must post at least once every 36 hours or i will prod you. you then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or i will replace you. if you come back before i find a replacement, you can stay.
~ if i have to prod you for the fourth time, i will automatically start searching for a replacement.
~ 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.
~ 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 need to be absent for longer than 36 hours, 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 60 hours. two nudges equals one prod. if you have not posted game advancing content in 5 days, regardless of v/la status, you will be replaced.
~ a naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. to avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; datisi is still scum."

nights and night actions:

~ intermission lasts 48 hours.
~ it can be shortened if every living player -- even those with no night actions -- agrees to it and if I'm not busy.
~ you may submit actions via pm. if you have a scum pt, a mason pt, or a notes pt, you may also submit your actions there. 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.
~ 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.

miscellaneous:

~ let me know if you want a private thread to store your thoughts and feedback for the other players. you may draft posts in your notes pt if the posts are clearly meant to be posted in the main thread. you may talk about your notes pt. you may not directly quote from your notes pt, and you may not use it 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.
~ provable randomness is against the rules. saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org screenshots is not.
~ no hard to read / extremely small text. cryptography is forbidden. breadcrumbing is okay.
~ using scripts to alter or hide another player's posts is not allowed.
~ the only allowed media is embedded content, or links to uneditable content. for example, you are not allowed to link vocaroos and pastebins in the thread.
~ very big images and big chunks of non-game-related text are allowed, as long as they are spoiled. if you post them without a spoiler, i will edit a spoiler in.
~ excessive spamming is not allowed.
~ the mod may make mistakes. minor errors (such as a mistake in the vote count) can be pointed out in-thread. for bigger errors, please pm me.
~ i reserve the right to alter/remove/add any rules as i see fit. you will be notified if this happens.

setup

~

4 mafia gentlemen/ladies

vs

13 town gentlemen/ladies

, open setup
~ the game will include four phases,

pre-dance

,

first dance

,

intermission

, and

second dance

.

pre-dance

will last 8 days,

intermission

will last 2 days, and each

dance

will at last for 8 days.
~ there will be a brief pause between

pre-dance

and the start of

first dance

for your dear moderator to set up all those pt's.
~ one player will be confirmed as aligned with town at game start.
~ during the

pre-dance

, a

gentleman

can ask a

lady

to the dance in thread. each lady can accept only one dance proposal.
~ a gentleman may ask multiple ladies to dance. a request to dance cannot be rescinded.
~ at the end of the

pre-dance

, any player who doesn't have a dance partner will be asked to leave the dance. (death)
~ each dance pair will then become lovers, and they will be given a private topic to discuss the game.
~ during the dances, normal nightless execution mechanics will take over. an execution will

not

reset the deadline. if the mafia makes up 50% or more of the remaining players at any point, mafia immediately wins. if all of the mafia are executed, then town wins. if the game runs out of time and at least one mafia is still alive, then mafia wins.
~

first dance

will end if there are 12 players or fewer left alive or deadline is reached. players may vote for first dance to end prematurely. during

the intermission

, mafia may secretly force one of the dance pairs to leave.

second dance

will then begin, and continue until the game's end.
~ also, at any point during the dance, a player may voluntarily leave (they die and their alignment flips), which forces their partner to leave as well.

Oo this is a nice little treat to start the new year! I had been feelling nervous cause there are so many wonderful ladies in this PL to compete with

Looking forward to a fun dance with all of you!

[Shirou]

Status: Accepting applications for a kind gentlemen to take my hand.

Application Form:

Name:

Shirou

THE

Fair Lady Shirou

Occupation:

Toxic and bad player at the multinational company mafiascum dot com

Interests:

Absolutely losing my mind over mafia games (?fun?, ?entertaining?, ?healthy?, ?worth?)

Likes:

Bullying and egging people to vote on my deathtunnel wagon

Dislikes:

Being bullied and egged to vote on other's wagons

Ideal date/relationship:

Politely screaming at each other in our PT around 2 AM before we go to work/school, trashtalking the other's reads (poems expressing how and why opinions different than yours sucks would be a bonus) and of course romantically threatening to kill ourselves in double suicide

every single day

without fail.

Spirit Animal:

A very poisonous snake.

Anything else you want to tell about yourself?

You, a gentleman reading this...you should pick me. Why? I'm a great partner. How I'm a great partner you ask? Well if you can't see how I'm lovely person to be around 24/7 from what I said above I'm not sure I could convince someone as oblivious as you with only words. Maybe it would take sharing a PT with me to understand it, so

pick me.

Huh? You think I'm

desperate

[Shirou]

Seemingly satisfied,

THE

Fair Lady Shirou laid on her bed after working so hard to type her application, she wore a cheeky, self-content smile. Fantasizing about how "That'll show 'em!" and "There'll be dozens of applications for my hand at any minute now! Maybe they should form a line!", she kept rolling around in the mattress while glued to the blue-lighted LED of her device; she felt anxious to see potential replies of suitable partners.

OBS: any suitors of the fair lady are encouraged to fill the application with their own version of it. The application form is also trademarked under creative commons so other ladies should feel free to steal it.

[Ausuka]

it's like doki doki literature club in here

We're off on a good start for this game, one of the most troublesome players in the list had he rolled scum in my opinion.
