Monday Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 RULESAll players must ..A1) Have an account on the mafia discussion board, with the same account name as on the main board.A2) Log in and view the game thread and the discussion board anonymously at all times, unless they have informed the mods that this is not possible for technical reasons. (If you see that somebody playing isn't viewing the thread anonymously, don't post this information on the thread, because that would be silly.)A3) Post at least once every 24 hours. Following the end of Night 1, any player who has not posted within the last 24 hours will be automatically modkilled, whether or not the mods announce this on the thread.There will be no modkills due to inactivity on day/night 1. If a modkill (of any kind) is appropriate before the end of night 1, a replacement will be sought, and a modkill will only be used as a last resort.The mods may grant extensions to this 24 hour time limit in some cases. Please contact the mods as early as possible if you wish to request an extension. The modkill limit will certainly be extended over the weekend; see the game thread itself for details.A4) Send in role prescribed night actions (including the desire to take no action) within the time limit. (The mods encourage players to send in night actions before night falls, if this is practical and won't unduly influence your choice of action).A5) Treat everybody involved in the game with courtesy and respect.A6) Make any edits the mods request of them as soon as possible, whether or not they believe that the posts need to be edited.A7) Contact the game mods as soon as possible if you feel you are at risk of breaking a rule or fear they or another person may have already done so. (Please do not post about possible rule violations on the thread itself.)Players must not ...B1) Act in any way intended to reduce the chance of their faction achieving its win conditions. (However, should all surviving members of the evil faction agree that they wish to resign and end the game early, they may do so by PMing the mods privately, without stating their intentions on-thread until the mods post to announce that the game is over.)B2) Discuss the game with any other living players outside this game thread except when told they may do so in their role PMs.B3) Reveal any information about the game at all in any other thread than this one, or in any other forum (including message boards and chat rooms) where it may be seen by a living player.B4) Give anybody but the mods access to any of their accounts (including game alts), either here or on the mafia discussion board.B5) Attempt to obtain advice about the game from anybody not currently playing.B6) Post information on the thread relating to another player's past or current activity on (or absence from) the board that would not otherwise be available to anybody reading the thread.B7) Quote, in whole or part, PMs from (or other private conversations with) the mods on the thread, or discuss the timing of any PMs sent to the mods.B8) Post on the thread at any time after they are dead until the mods themselves post on the thread to announce that the game is over. Any posts made (accidentally or otherwise) after death should be immediately edited blank.B9) Make any bets about the game.B10) Make any posts to the game thread with any account other than their game alt, before the game is over. Any posts made "out-of-alt" should be edited blank as soon as possible.B11) Speculate about the identify behind the alt of any living player, expose the identity of any living player or provide information that the mods consider reasonably likely to cause a person's identity to be exposed. B12) Offer to break any of these rules or any other rules the mods have set in place for the game, encourage others to do so or help to conceal the fact that rules have been broken.AND JUST SO YOU KNOWC1) Failure to comply with the rules may result in any punishment the mods deem appropriate, including, but not limited to: a request to edit posts; formal warnings on thread; "modkilling", and ending the game prematurely in favor of one faction or none. The mods will also report rule infractions to the metamods after the game. Except where clearly stated in the rules, the mods are free to respond to any rules violation in whatever manner they wish. In all cases the mods' decision on these matters is final.C2) Feel free to PM or IM your thoughts (or questions) to the mods. We love to hear them!C3) The mods reserve the right to amend the rules during the game if we realize we've forgotten to cover something. Or, you know, if we have any other reason.-------------------------As well as running the game on this thread, the mods are also responsible for administering the spoiler thread on the discussion board. Anybody not actively involved in the game (whether spectators or dead players) can request access to this thread by PMing the mods. Please note that while in general the mods will be happy to let anybody have access to this thread, they do reserve the right to refuse access to anybody for any reason. In particular, players who are modkilled for inactivity will not be spoiled. Accordingly, please do not ask anybody other than the mods for access to the spoiler thread or give yourself access to it, even if you have the power to do so.Once given access to the thread, spoiled spectators should also take note of the following rules, and must not ...D1) Share any information from the spoiler thread with living players, or post such in a forum where it may be seen by living players.D2) Offer any advice, hints or strategy to living players.D3) Make personal attacks on players in the game or on posters in the spoiler thread itselfD4) Post on the game thread before the mods announce that the game is over.Spectators (of any sort) who ignore these rules are likely to have their access to the spoiler thread revoked and to be reported to the metamods.

Monday Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Game Mechanics1 - General StructurePlayers may begin posting as soon as the mods announce that the game has started on the thread. The game begins during the day. The day ends when when a sufficient number of people have voted to lynch a player (remove that player from the game) or voted to end the day without a lynch. The mods will post maximum time limits for the length of a day on the game thread. If no consensus is reached when the time expires, the day ends with no lynch. When the day phase has ended, night begins. The mods will then post a scene reporting the outcome of the day. Players may continue posting in the thread but no voting is allowed. Night ends when the mods post the morning scene reporting the outcome of the night actions. Day and night phases continue to alternate until the game ends.2 - Day PhaseDuring the day, players may post in the thread and vote. Some roles may have special powers which can be used during the day. See the role list for details.2.1 - Voting MechanicsTo vote for a player: bold that player's name.To vote to end the day without a lynch: bold the word night.To change your vote: bold the other player's name (or bold night).To remove your vote without casting a new vote: bold the phrase remove vote.2.2 - Voting RestrictionsYou may only vote during the day phase. You can only have one vote outstanding at any time. You may not vote for yourself. You may not edit a vote into a post. You may not edit a vote out of a post.2.3 - Bold RestrictionsThe use of bold should be limited to voting, except in some cases and for some specific roles. If you want to emphasize a players name or another word, you can underline the word or post using a different color2.4 - Majority DefinedA majority means either more than half of the active players voting for one player's lynch or half or more of the active players voting to go to night without a lynch.2.5 - Ending the DayThe day ends as soon as a majority is reached (or, if the players fail to vote for any action, once the time limit for the day has elapsed). Anyone lynched is no longer an active player and must not post in the thread. Votes can no longer be withdrawn and new votes cannot be cast until the night phase ends.2.6 - Evening SceneThe mods will post a scene shortly after the day ends to report the results of the day actions. If the day ended with a player's lynch, the mods will also reveal the alt and alignement (innocent/evil) of the lynched player. The Joker will turn up as "innocent".3 - Night PhaseDuring the night, players may post in the thread but may not vote. Some players will have the ability to perform special actions. See the role list for details.3.1 - Performing a Night ActionIf your role includes the ability to perform a special action at night, you need to PM the mods to indicate the action you wish to take. Most, if not all, roles have the ability to "withhold" their powers (i.e. take no action). This will be made clear in the description of the role: see the role list. If you chose to not perform your allowed action, you must PM "no action" to the mods. The game will also have a time limit on the maximum length of a night. All players must PM their night actions to the mods within this timeframe. Players are strongly encouraged to send their night actions as soon as possible: you may also send in a PM for your special action during the day phase.3.2 - Contingent PMIf you send in a PM during the day phase, you may choose to list alternative actions contingent on the manner in which the day ended. If none of the contingencies you list actually occur, your PM will be disregarded, and you must send a new PM to the mods.3.3 - Provisional PMYou may choose to send a provisional PM if you want to further consider your night action but do not want to extend the night if all other roled players have decided upon their actions. Provisional PMs must be clearly marked as such. A provisional PM will not be acted upon by the mods until it becomes a 'definite PM.' A provisional PM becomes definite as soon as ( a ) you confirm your choice with another PM, ( b ) all other roled players that need to send night actions have done so, or ( c ) the time limit for the night has expired.As a courtesy to other players we ask that you confirm your provisional PM as soon as you are able.3.4 - Last Resort PMIn extraordinary circumstances you may be allowed to send in a last resort PM. A last resort PM will not be acted upon by the mods until ( a ) you confirm your choice with another PM or ( b ) the time limit for the night has expired. Should you need to send a last resort PM, you must first seek the mods approval by explaining the circumstances that necessitate such a PM. Last resort PMs are accepted only at the discretion of the mods.3.5 - Failure to PMIf not all PMs are received within the time limit, everyone who has failed to send in a PM will be considered to have taken no action. In addition, those who failed to send in a PM will be warned by the mods or may risk further penalties.3.6 - Changing a Night ActionPMs to the mod can be changed at any point before the new day is announced. A PM is considered to be changed only after the mod receives and has read the PM. The player bears the risk that the mod will post the morning scene after the player has sent in a new PM but before the mod has actually read it. In this case the action originally indicated will be performed.3.7 - Abusing the Time LimitThe time limit for the night begins as soon as the previous day ended, regardless of when the mods posted the evening scene. However, this time limit is a maximum limit, and all players should send in PMs as soon as they feel comfortable doing so. Players (and mods) prefer shorter nights, as people are anxious to see who may have died and to begin voting again. If the mods feel that a player is abusing the time limit by unreasonably stalling, they may force the player to take no night action or take other appropriate action.3.8 Preventing Night ActionsExcept where expressly noted, no night actions prevent any other night actions sent in from taking effect.3.9 - Morning SceneThe night phase ends when the mods post the morning scene. The mods will post the scene shortly after all night action PMs have been received. The scene will report any player deaths that occurred during the night, and will reveal the alts of all of the players killed. There are no hidden clues in the morning scenes. As soon as the scene is posted any players who have been killed at night will no longer be active players and can no longer post in the thread. The time limit for the new day will begin with the morning scene.Section 4 - EndgameThe game will continue to alternate between day and night phases until the game ends. The game can end after either a day or night phase.4.1 - Winning ConditionsThe game ends once one faction has reached its winning conditions, which the mods will state in the game thread.Mafia is a team game. Once one faction achieves its winning conditions, all members of that faction have won whether or not they are active players when the winning conditions are achieved.4.2 - Ending SceneThe mods will post an ending scene and declare the game over shortly after one faction achieves its winning conditions. If for any reason it becomes impossible for either faction to achieve its winning conditions, the mods will declare the game a draw.The game is only over when a mod posts the ending scene. Even if you know (or believe you know) the result of the game before then, you may not post in the thread unless you are an active player.4.3 - Calling the Game EarlyThe mods reserve the right to end the game at any time before a faction achieves its winning conditions provided there are compelling reasons to do so. In general, the mods will end the game early as soon as one faction's victory becomes inevitable.4.4 - SpoilersWhen the game is over, the mods will reveal the alts and roles of everybody who played and also give everyone access to the spoiled spectator threads on the discussion board.

Monday Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Several weeks ago, in the late November of 1873, our rag tag group of 11 would-be prospectors left the comfort of Utah to seek their fortunes in the Colorado gold country.“November? You are starting your trek through the Rocky Mountains in NOVEMBER!?” asked the owner of the general store where the group bought their provisions.They nodded enthusiastically. “We are bound for Breckenridge . We plan to stake a claim and make a fortune.”So our merry band of greenhorns set out on the journey led by their mysterious guide Ives, blissfully unaware of the tragedies to come.The trip started out typically. However, the farther our poor travellers went, the more arduous their journey became. Their animals dropped like flies due to broken legs and malnutrition, the winter proved to be especially harsh, illness and exhaustion were rampant, wild game was nowhere to be found…. yet still they stubbornly pressed on.When it finally seemed as though they could go no further, Ives discovered a cave. The starving travelers resolved to spend the night in the cave and carry on with their slow trudge through the mountains in the morning. They had finished eating what was left of their last mule three nights before, so that night they boiled their belts in an unsuccessful attempt to soften them enough so they might eat the leather. Unsatisfied the group drifted to sleep in the damp, smoky cave. At least, most of them did…..When they awoke the next morning the group discovered to their horror that a blizzard blown over in the night. Snow drift were as deep as they had ever seen and it was bitter cold outside. They were snow bound!After the initial panic wore off, they noticed Colonel Ives was missing. There were no tracks in the snow outside, so it was clear Ives must have gone deeper into the cave. The group grabbed a lantern and made their way into the depths of the cave, noting two sets of footprints in and out accompanied by what appeared to be drag marks. About 100 yards in they discovered the end of the cave and a grizzly scene: Ives’ butchered body. Upon further examination it became evident that Ives had been murdered (gasp!) and partially eaten (double gasp!).It’s now on YOU to find the killers and save yourselves from becoming tomorrow’s dinner. Good luck and bon appetit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser-Arthur-Dayne Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Ok, let me just start off by saying that everything I do is in the spirit of Mafia, and never anything personal. So never be offended, because I love you all :grouphug:Also, is my name the only one spelled wrong? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser-Arthur-Dayne Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I am not sure what to think. When I first saw the game, and that there were 11 people, I was thinking that it was going to be 2 FM + a symp. But now, that the only two roles are ri and FM, I'm not sure what it could be. 2 FM seems to be slightly underpowered while 3 FM is overpowered. Also, since there is no roles for the inno (ex finder, healer), but there is CF, the inno still have it balanced, so that doesn't really help in determining how many FM there are.

Elenya Westerling Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Since we're all relative newbs I'd sort of lean towards 3 FM, because 3 inexperienced FM are probably more equal than 2? *doesn't know* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
