9 players compete to figure out... what the heck did they even make in this kitchen?

The flavor is purely for our (players+mods) collective enjoyment and has no effect whatsoever on the game setup or rules. This game will borrow imagery and flavor, as is my whimsy, from old television game shows, but will avoid spoilers for the results of those shows unless completely unavoidable.

Setup Info

09:12
Game Setup

09:12 (as designed by Bicephalous Bob ):

A single D12 is rolled pregame. Players are assigned their alignments and roles based upon the pool available. Mafia always has one goon, town always has 5 vanilla town players. The other three roles in the game are one of the following twelve possible combinations:

1: Town Vanilla Cop, Town Tracker, Mafia Rolecop
2: Town Tracker, Town Follower, Mafia Rolecop
3: Town Follower, Town Jailkeeper, Mafia Rolecop
4: Town Follower, Town Jailkeeper, Mafia 1-shot Strongman
5: Town Jailkeeper, Town Babysitter, Mafia 1-shot Strongman
6: Town Roleblocker, Town Babysitter, Mafia 1-shot Strongman
7: Town Babysitter, Town Roleblocker, Mafia Rolecop
8: Town Roleblocker, Town Rolecop, Mafia Rolecop
9: Town Rolecop, Town Doctor, Mafia Rolecop
10: Town Rolecop, Town Doctor, Mafia Roleblocker
11: Town Doctor, Town Vanilla Cop, Mafia Roleblocker
12: Town Vanilla Cop, Town Tracker, Mafia Roleblocker

Newbie Basics
Thanks to Irrelephant11 and others for their contributions to these 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 this setup 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!

General Rules (adapted from myself and several others over the past 15 years)


1. We don’t tolerate ad hom wars. If your posting is merely insulting a player without providing game content, you can expect a strike from us. Three strikes, you’re out. We are fairly lenient about this, but posting “Fuck you” over and over again is simply not acceptable. Severe issues will be reported to the list mod(s).
2. If we say it violates these rules, it does. You can take it up with us postgame if you wish.
3. Play towards your win condition. Gambits are fine, directly harming your own team is not.
4. Once an elimination is reached, you may continue discussion until we lock the thread. No votes or unvotes will count after an elimination has been achieved.
5. An elimination is achieved as a majority of players voting for somebody. Half is not a majority.
6. Do not quote or pretend to quote any information you get from us via PM. This includes posting your role card verbatim. Paraphrasing is fine, as are role claims naturally.
7. Do not talk about this game anywhere else, or with anyone else.
8. Do not discuss ongoing games in this thread. This includes games on sites other than mafiascum. This also includes using [redacted] as that loophole does not fly here.
9. We are usually rather lenient upon activity. This game is a newbie and so has specific requirements. The Day 1 deadline is 10 days. All further days must have a 7 day deadline. Players will be prodded after 36 hours of inactivity. Weekends and major holidays are slightly more lenient.
10. Claiming scum by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is an instant modkill. Don't do it.
11. We do not require unvotes. Your vote will be counted so long as you bold it or use the vote tag. Shorthand names are fine so long as it’s clear who the vote is for.
12. If you have a question, please PM us. If a question is something that should be answered publicly, we will make a post addressing it without naming who asked it.
13. If our vote count is wrong, you can PM us or post in the thread (use the bold tag and "@MOD") about it.
14. We do not fix tags or edit posts where you might make a formatting mistake, even if you ask us to.
15. We reserve the right to add to these rules or modify them, but only when we post notifying all players in the game of the change.
16. Loophole abuse is all fun and games until we modkill you. Don’t try it.
17. Blue
(This color at #0000FF)
is our color. You are welcome to use any other color of the rainbow.
18. Encryption, text hiding, and the like are silly. Don’t do it.
19. Do not use temporary information to convey messages. This includes your signature and your avatar, but is not limited to these things.
20. While putting your vote or unvote on its own line is helpful, it is not necessary and any attempts to game voting formatting will be dealt with as an attempt to cheat. If we think it was a vote, it was a vote.
21. A modkill will always punish the faction modkilled more as far as timing goes. All modkills will be done after consultation with the listmods. Modkills may or may not end the day. Modkilled players will be changed to a neutral survivor, meaning they lose the game instantly.
22. In the event of site downtime lasting more than 3 hours; time will be added to the deadline to compensate at a 1 to 1 ratio.
23. All factional decisions must be agreed upon by all living members of that faction.

Setup Specific Rules (Please read these!)


1. The Follower receives "X performed an investigation" when following a Tracker or Rolecop of either alignment.
2. The Mafia Roleblocker or Mafia Rolecop can also perform the kill, which might cause a Follower to receive two results.
3. The Tracker would only receive two results if the targets of the actions differ. If the targets are both the same, the report will only contain one name.
4. Any roles that conflict will resolve with the mafia role having the higher priority.
5. The mafia is multi-tasking. Night roles can be used alongside the factional kill if desired.

All flavor in this game has no impact upon the gameplay or outcomes. All text in Orange, as seen in this post, is flavor text and can be completely ignored during gameplay.


Welcome to a new season of Crime Scene Kitchen. We are lucky enough to have survived the short attention span of the FOX bigwigs, but this season the sugar content clearly must go up if we're going to placate the network folks. Rumor has it we took some of their break room snack budget, so we'd better have some excellent baked goods to offer up.

Before you we have a bonafide crime scene--what deliciously devious delight has been concocted in this kitchen? And of course, take a look at your competition. No guarantees everyone else is only bringing good old-fashioned detective work to the table!

With that, contestants, you're up! As the lights swirl dramatically, it's time to enter the Crime! Scene! Kitchen!

Hello! I'm extremely hyped to be playing in this game, and I hope everyone else is as well!

A tiny bit about me: I have a little bit of mafia experience, which is basically just a general idea of how to play the game. I read some of the recently completed Newbie game in order to get a feel for how people play here, but I apologize if my playstyle clashes with anyone. I can be a bit of a hyperposter at times.

Good luck and have fun, everyone!

Welcome fellow newbie!

Just be yourself, that always seems to fit best. If you try to adhere to some kind of mold you feel you should fit in, it often won't bring you joy. That is, unless you are an experienced player and want to try something different.

But for now, just be you :) And some people just won't be your cup of tea. As long as everyone treats one another with respect everything should be just fine. That is my opinion at least (after 3 games on here and a buttload of experience in other social deduction games).
