TEAM MAFIA 2023 GAMEPLAY RULESET
ALL SITE RULES, INCLUDING THOSE PROHIBITING TALKING ABOUT NON TEAM MAFIA GAMES, STILL APPLY.
I reserve the right to append these rules should it become necessary. If this happens, all players will be notified
If you have any doubt about whether something is against the rules or not, pm your mod and me, and ask.
Team Communication
1. Each team will be provided a Private Topic (PT).
2. Each team will be provided a Discord Channel (DC).
3. Players may copy and paste whatever they want into their PT/DC.They may not copy and paste text OUT of their PT/DC into game threads.
4. Players may continue to communicate with their team after in-game death in their provided PT/DC.
5. There are no restrictions for what players can post in their PT/DC's outside of not breaking site rules.
6. Team PT/DC's will only be made public after the game if all players on the team consent to their release.
7. All Game PT's including all scum PT's will automatically be released after Team Mafia.
8. There will not be Spectator/Dead PT's.
9. You will convey your role and alignment to your teammates.
9a. You will be aware of the roles and alignments of your teammates.
10. You will convey all moderator-given information to your teammates (ex. cop results)
Talking About Other Games
1. There are no restrictions for what players can post in their PT/DC's outside of not breaking site rules. The rules for this section refer to what players can talk about in their ongoing games and ongoing game PT's.
2. Players are only allowed to talk about mod-confirmed things from other ongoing Team Mafia games.
3. Any public speculation about other ongoing games is prohibited.
4. Any attempt to publically signal players from other ongoing games, pass messages to players from other games, or otherwise communicate through the use of cryptography is prohibited.
5. Do not try to loophole these rules. If anyone has questions at any point about what is allowed or not allowed please message a Team Mafia Mod.
6. To repeat: If you have any doubt about whether something is against the rules or not, PM your mod and me, and ask.
Your Teammates are Always Innocent Until Proven Guilty
1. You may at no time say, indicate, insinuate, etc. in a game or game-related PT that your Team Mafia teammates are or might be anything other than town.
2. Exception: You may talk about your teammates being scum if they have flipped scum in another game (i.e. are dead).
3. If a player is NOT on your team and is still alive in another game, you must follow the rules in the Talking About Other Games thread.
Replacements
1. It is your job to replace team members who are not active. You are allowed to ask anyone who has not previously been involved in this event. We have a list of people in this thread who have already signaled a willingness to replace in, if you cannot find someone. If you (the team) do not find a replacement in either of these two ways and I have to do it for you, there will be a tiebreak penalty.
2. To replace a team member, you must PM Untrod Tripod AND the moderator of your game. We have a list of replacements that you will be able to choose from.
3. You may replace with anyone who is not currently on a Team Mafia team, has not previously been on a different Team Mafia team, is and has not been part of the Team Mafia Organizing team (Moderators, Balance-checkers, players in tiebreak game), and is eligible to play in mafia games. However, only 4 people may be involved in the PT at any time. A replaced team member may not participate in any way unless they are replaced back in.
4. The mod will force replace any player who has not posted within 3 days (Prodded after 48 hours, no response for 24 more) of their last post (not including Night). This will come at a penalty to the team.
5. If a player must be replaced due to mod errors or another outside influence (such as gaining information that they should not be able to have), the mods may assist in finding a replacement without assessing a penalty.<(") | (")>- PenguinPower

Scoring
Team Mafia 2023 is, chiefly, a competition between teams. Therefore, there is a scoring system.
1. Each team will be rewarded 1 point for being on the winning side of a finished game, even if they died before the game ended.
2. The team with the most points wins.
At the end of each game and at the end of the whole event, there will be a survey distributed to the teams. For the games the survey will require each player to vote, on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the least important 10 being the most important, how important a player was in their side winning the game. For the Team Survey, each player will be required to vote how deserving each team is of winning the event on a scale from 1 to 10.
In the event of a tie, there is a tiebreaker. In order of importance:
1. Being on the winning side of the Large Theme.
1a. Being on the winning side of the Mini Normal
2. Having the best average score in the Game Survey.
3. Having the best score in the Team Survey.
4. The TM2023 Mods vote on a winner.<(") | (")>- PenguinPower

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: I decided that it would be fun to break site rules during this event. Will this have consequences for me outside of the event?

a
Q: I decided that it would be fun to break site rules outside of this event. Will this have consequences for me inside this event?
A: Very possibly! Best to be on the safe side and not break site rules if you want to play this event start to finish.
Q: I thought it would be a fun thing to not know any of my teammate's roles or alignments. Is this okay?
A: It is not okay! The nature of this event is the ability to collaborate as a team in reading and reacting to games. Trying to have less information than your teammates to gain some kind of an edge is not allowed.
Q: Okay, so I have to know that my teammate drew scum in a game. But is it okay if my teammate doesn't tell any of us who their scum buddies are so we can read the game as if we're town and thus gain some kind of edge?
A: No. You will have all of the information that your teammates do.
Q: I have to replace out of this event for personal reasons. Will this affect my team's ability to win in a tiebreaker?
A: If your team finds a replacement either on their own or grabs one from the pool, it will not affect their ability to win in a tiebreaker.
Q: Am I allowed to post my role PM into my Discord Channel and/or PT?
A: Yes. You are encouraged to do so.
Q: Oh no, I talked a lot of shit about other teams in my teams Discord and/or PT. Are people going to hate me now when you release those at the end of the event???
A: Team Discord channels and Private Topics may not be released at the end of this event. Mafia PTs, however, will be.<(") | (")>- PenguinPower

Hi Team Mafia players!
Please remember that at the conclusion of each game we will send out a player survey. Please pay enough attention to your games even if you are eliminated, so that you can fill out the survey as honestly as possible! The survey will be used in part to determine the winners of Team Mafia!- implosion

That Dessew post about my Aureal read was all Dessew, I literally said "Hey Dessew, I've decided Aureal is scum. I'm not basing this on anything so if anyone asks, just tell them my ancestors came to me in a dream."
And then Dessew filled in the blanks and it was gloriousJoin me on my quest to play every NES game! Some of them are awful.
Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew- T-Bone
