Rules

(some parts were inspired by Plotinus and Alianna)

General Conduct

1.

Adhere to all site rules

. This includes both rules about general behavior and rules regarding Mafia play.
2.

Be respectful to other players

. Remember that this is a game, and that other players are people too. While it's okay to get heated, and to use manipulation, it is not okay to get personal, offensive, or overbearingly toxic.
3.

Play to have fun!

Again, remember that this is a game. You should be having fun. Try to play in a way that is fun for both you and other players.
4.

Play to win!

While gambits are fine, you should under no circumstance actively attempt to harm your faction's chances to win. If you don't want to play anymore, it is okay to replace out.

Don't do these things

1.

Don't try to cheat in any way

.
2.

In particular, don't try to prove private communication

with the mod or with other players, such as by directly quoting or copy pasting from PMs or PTs. Paraphrasing is fine.
3.

Don't try to throw the game

.
4.

Don't pretend to break any rule

. Also don't threaten or promise to break rules, regardless of whether you actually intend to do so.

Voting and Deadlines

1.

Please use vote tags to vote

. Type [

v]PLAYER[

/v] to vote and [

uv]PLAYER[

/uv] to unvote. Votes in bold tags will NOT be counted.
2.

If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks

.
3.

Eliminations

- An elimination will happen when a majority of votes is achieved (50% of living players + 1 rounded down).
4.

No Elimination

- If no elimination is achieved by deadline, or if 50% of living players (rounded up in case of an odd number of players) vote for no elimination, the game day will end without an elimination.
5.

Day length

- The first day will last 10 days, or until a majority of votes is achieved. Subsequent days will last 7 days or until a majority of votes is achieved.
6.

Twilight

- If a day ends by majority, you may continue posting (even if hammered) until I lock the thread and post the flip.
7.

Nights last 48 hours

. if all living players request fast night, the night will end at earliest convenience for the mod.

Activity

1.

You are expected to post at least once every 36 hours

. If you do not, you will receive a prod. You will also receive a prod for not making game advancing content when you do post.
2.

When prodded, you have 24 hours to post

. The posts should be game-advancing, otherwise they don't count.
3.

If you fail to post in time, you will be replaced

. You can keep the slot if you come back before I find a replacement.
4.

Multiple prods

- If you get prodded too much, or post non-game-advancing content in attempt to avoid prods or replacements, I may force-replace you. This is up to my discretion and won't be used before trying to straighten it out with you first.

Newbie Setup

NewD3 (as designed by RadiantCowbells):

	A	B	C
Mafia	Mafia Roleblocker	Mafia Rolecop	Mafia Goon
Row 1	Town Cop and Town Doctor	Town Tracker and Town Friendly Neighbor	Town Cop and Vanilla Townie
Row 2	Town Jailkeeper and Town Tracker	Town Jailkeeper and Town Friendly Neighbor	Town Jailkeeper and Vanilla Townie
Row 3	Town Mason and Town Mason	Town Tracker and Town Doctor	Town Mason and Town Mason

Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates one mafia role from the top of a column, and then two town roles from a row below the selected mafia role. The remaining six roles will be filled in by

one mafia goon

and

five vanilla townies

appropriately, to create a

2-mafia

and

7-town

setup.

All Newbie games use the Natural Action Resolution system for determining Night action effects.

Mafia Roleblocker

action takes precedence over a

Town Jailkeeper

action should that apply.

Mafia are able to communicate in their Private Topic at all times.

Key Concepts and Tips

Activity

Try to check in at least once a day.

Besides the activity requirements listed in the moderator's original post, it's just necessary for a fun and healthy game that everyone

plays

. If you post very rarely, or only post a little bit at a time, you may get scumread for lurking. Even if you are not scumread for it, what's the fun in playing a game where multiple people are hardly participating?

Site Meta

Meta is the description of how people on Mafiascum like to play mafia. Things can be different on other online mafia sites, or if you play IRL, so it's good to know what's expected of you on this site. These aren't "rules", per se, but if you don't follow these guidelines it is likely things will go poorly for you on MS. Some examples are...

Random Voting Stage (RVS)

Games on MafiaScum almost always begin with what we call the Random Voting Stage (RVS). At this point in the game, we are in a low information game state (except the mafia, which know everyone’s alignment). As a way to provoke reaction, start a discussion, and try to determine alignment, people will usually vote for non-serious reasons. As the discussion progresses, we will eventually get the game moving and progress out of RVS.

Voting, E-x, and Hammers

E-x is a way to convey how far away a player is away from elimination. For example, you should always announce that you are putting someone at E-1 (1 vote away from an elimination) so that someone doesn’t come along and accidentally vote for that player's elimination. This also prevents Mafia-aligned players from coming along and placing the final vote to eliminate (“hammer”) and claiming ignorance about doing so. You may also see E-2 and E-3 (2 votes away from elimination and 3 votes away from elimination, respectively).

Before you hammer a player, state your intent to hammer (usually done in bold) and ask the player to claim their role. This is done to prevent power roles from being eliminated, and can sometimes get Mafia-aligned players to be caught (via counter claiming). It's best to then allow other players to react and discuss the claim before hammering.

Claiming Your Role

It is almost always best to not claim your role unless you are at E-1 and have been asked to claim as part of an “intent to hammer.” This is because, as a town power role (“PR”), if you out prematurely, you are likely to be night-killed (“NK’d”). As a Vanilla Townie (“VT”), claiming early helps the mafia team narrow down the setup and possible PR candidates. An exception to this would be if a mafia player claimed your role, claiming early to counter the false claim (“CC”) would out the mafia player, and would be a benefit to the town.

Do not fake claim a power role as town!

While it may help you avoid getting eliminated, you might cause a real PR to out themselves by counterclaiming - then the mafia will know who the PR is, and you will probably get eliminated for lying to town. Feel free to fake a claim as scum, though, if you think it would help.

ELo

ELo is the shortened representation of “Eliminate or Lose.” ELo in the Newbie Queue is when there are 3 remaining players, 2 of which are town and 1 is mafia; or when there are 5 remaining players, 3 of which are town and 2 are mafia. It is important in these situations that the town aligned players do not carelessly vote like is done during RVS or early days, as the mafia player(s) can organize and instantly provide the necessary votes to eliminate (“quickhammer”) and win the game.

Conclusion

Mafia is hard!

As town, it can be hard to figure things out, and stressful when people think you're scum.

That's okay!

Just share your thoughts on who you think is scum as they come to you, and don't be afraid to change your mind. As scum, it can be hard to lie convincingly, and stressful when people think you're scum. Don't let that scare you! Try to think of what you would post if you were town, and don't be afraid to "change your mind".

This is a game.

Have fun!

[DragonEater70]

Roles and alignments have been randomized. I will be sending role PMs shortly. Please note that this game was advertised as having 5 day deadlines due to the request of a certain player, but as that player has not signed up, I'm going to use the usual timers of 10 days for day 1 and 7 days for further days. Apologies if this results in some inconvenience to you.

[DragonEater70]

All role PMs have been sent! The game will start once 8/9 players confirm their role PM, or in (expired on 2024-03-17 00:59:46).

Currently 6/9 players have confirmed.

[Alianna]

[DragonEater70]

I will start the game in about 2 hours, as I'm currently sleeping.

Day 1 has started. JacksonVirgo has (expired on 2024-03-17 13:04:34) to confirm their role PM.
