Mafia Mini Game 88.5: Game has Started

[House Dondarrion]

Welcome to Westeros Mafia Mini Game 88.5 11 players only accepting possible replacements

As was once traditional we played mini games while the big game was still playing thus allowing those killed early to still get to play. Unfortuantly You mafia addicts decieded to win the game far too soon, before I gained access to a game alt.

However you can still sign up and play by PM'ing House Blackfyre.

The game will be using Alts. and will start sometime this week.

The game will hopefully have 12-15 players.

If you are currently have time constraints that will stop you from participating then please sit out this game.( you know if you have enough time to play, don't sign up as a favour to me) you can always follow along in the spectators or spoilers.

If you can only play after a certain date please let me know - I may wait for you (not gauranteed)

[House Dondarrion]

Now the SQL has settled down a bit I might be able to post some more info.

This game is modded by Pebbles.

Game will be mostly vanilla. If I get the full 15 players I'll probably use a finder and not a CF (undecided)

Game days will be max 32 hours long. Although if game day end falls in a period of massive SQL errors you will get 90 mins extra time. You will not get extra time for any other SQL errors during the game day so expect them and deal with it Of course if the board goes down for longer than 10 mins for any other reason then extra time will be granted (provided I know about it)

Max night length will be 8 hours.

Note about voting Please Pay attention.

You must always be voting for someone. You will start the game day voting for yourself. If you remove your vote and don't place it elsewhere you will be voting for yourself. If you vote night you will also be voting for yourself at the same time (but if there enough Night votes then we will go to night) However if the game is in a potential last game day (LYOL) votes for yourself will not be officially counted. (They will show up in the vote count – This is to stop team evil pilling on and wining by default. You will not be told if you are in LYOL)

Eg

3 players alive LYOL scenario

Vote count in thread

1 vote player A (A)

3 players have not voted.

If you have any questions about this please ask.

If you have a night action you are encouraged to send them in to House Blackfyre and to Pebble (and CC any other recuirted Mods) on the mafia board incase of SQL errors. We won't start day till we have checked the mod account, this is for your peace of mind)

Alt Rules

This game uses Alts (yes I know there is a thread currently discussing standardising the Alt rules) But I thought I’d right my own if only to give Pless something to pick holes in without feeling the need to preach maths.

Each player will be given a game account. They must use this to post in the game thread and NO-where else. If they accidently post in the game thread with their normal account they must edit it black. If they accidently post elsewhere on the board with their game Alt (then they suck and should be playing mafia) must edit it blank.

You must not hint at or reveal your Identity or someone else.

You must not mention or hint if you have guessed someone’s Alt or make Alt meta arguments in the game thread. I can’t stop you thinking it, but let’s pretend on the game thread you didn’t. Send these guesses to the spoilers.

You may mention your experience level or someone else’s in vague terms. You must not mention how many or what games you have played.

You must not mention your RL location or time zone.

Do not mention if you are going to sleep or work or school ect. You may say you’re leaving the thread for approx. X amount of hours. Just don’t mention why. It is ok to make comments like “Going by past game days I’d expect Lannister to be around in about an hour or two” Only use info from this game to make assumptions like that.

Do not post links to outside sources (weird joke pictures are fine).

You must logon anonymously when viewing the game thread. If you notice someone who’s not anonymous then DO NOT MENTION IT ON THE GAME THREAD. Let the mods deal with it.

If you think someone has broken these Alt rules please PM the Mods and quote the offending post in your PM. You may also mention this on the game thread if the mods are not around to speed up editing. If the “Offending” player doesn’t agree don’t argue about it, let the mods deal with it.

Real life Identities will be revealed upon death. (unless it’s a modkill and I replace the player)

I expect all players to not only obey the Alt rule (and all game rules) but also follow the spirit of the rules.

Alt rules will be inforced. repeat offenders and serrious infractions could lead to sanctions including but not limited to Sheeping, and Modkills.

8 Players allready signed up and one replacement.

RULES

A2) Log in and view the thread and the discussion board anonymously at all times, unless they have informed the mods that this is not possible for technical reasons

A3) Post at least once every 24 hours. 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.

The mods may grant extensions to this limit in some cases (if so, they will give details in a later post). However, if they have not posted on the thread to announce an extension before the 24 hour limit is reached, no extension will be granted, whatever may have been said elsewhere. Please contact the mods as early as possible if you wish to request an extension.

A4) Send in role prescribed night actions (including the desire to take no action) within the time limit

A5) Treat everybody else playing 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 they feel you are at risk of breaking a rule or fear they or another person may have already done so.

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 a 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.

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 accidently made after death should be immediately edited blank.

B9) Make any bets about the game.

B10) 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.

B11) Post any links to outside sources including but not limited too PDF files, Worksheets, Powerpoint, Youtube, Wikki and external encryption sites. (the occassion picture for joke RP purposes will be allowed)

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW

C1) 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.

-------------------------

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 not 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. 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 itself

D4) 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/or to be reported to the metamods.

Game Mechanics

1 - General Structure

Players 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. Many games also have time limits on the days, and 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 Phase

During the day, players may post in the thread and vote. Some roles may have special powers which can be used during the day. See later posts for a list of roles.

2.1 - Voting Mechanics

To 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 Restrictions

You 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 Restrictions

The use of bold should be limited to voting. If you want to emphasize a players name or another word, you can underline the word or post using a different color

2.4 - Majority Defined

A 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 Day

The day ends as soon as a majority is reached (or, if the game has a day time limit and the players fail to achieve a majority, once the time limit 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 Scene

The 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 might also reveal information about the lynched player, such as the player’s alt or alignment. This is the mods’ choice, and they’ll explain what, if any, information will be revealed in the game rules. There are no hidden clues in the evening scenes.

3 - Night Phase

During the night, players may post in the thread but may not vote. Some players will have the ability to perform special actions. Once again, the mods decide which roles will be included for their game, so be sure to fully read the game rules and any role descriptions which may be included.

3.1 - Performing a Night Action

If 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 to the roled players, and, usually, to all other players as well. If you chose to not perform your allowed action, you must PM "no action" to the mods. Most games have a time limit on nights. 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 PM

If 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 PM

You 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 PM

In 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 PM

If 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 Action

PMs 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.

3.7 - Abusing the Time Limit

If the mods have included a night time limit, it 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 Actions

Except where expressly noted, no night actions prevent any other night actions sent in from taking effect.

3.9 - Morning Scene

The 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 might also reveal information about the lynched player, such as the player’s alt or alignment. 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 - Endgame

The 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 Conditions

The game ends once one faction has reached its winning conditions, which the mods will state in a later post.

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 Scene

The 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 Early

The 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 - Spoilers

When 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.

[House Dondarrion]

I have nearly reached my minimum player requirement.

I expect to be able to start the game at approx 11pm UK time tonight (wednesday)

[House Dondarrion]

Last chance to sign up. game starting soon

[House Dondarrion]

I'm rather disappointed in the most recent turn of events. We had all assumed that Pless was growing increasingly paranoid for no reason in his conviction that House Targaryen was out to kill him.

But, we hired each of you anyway due to the known trustworthiness of your ancestors. Not a one of them had been foolish enough to swear fealty to a damn Targ, and you know as we always say, "If a Targ wants someone dead, that's good enough reason for us to keep him alive."

Now each of you came to us with the proper genealogical credentials, but some of you appear to have been lying. We just received word that while Pless was in his dressing room preparing for his snarky mathematical chess tournament, he was attacked and killed.

Since you all were hired to protect him and weren't supposed to leave his side, the killers must be among you. Now, you've all been spending time with one another and should know each other quite well by this time. So, we will leave the investigation to you.

You will all be locked in this room until you find those treacherous fools who are parading as members of a house they are not worthy of and dared to kill Pless. Good luck.

-----a few minutes later----

"Well, we know that Pebbles Mod wrote this because she's been around for ages and knows all about Pless getting routinely killed in the opening scene," a foolish and overconfident Wythers stood up and proclaimed.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the heavens roasting Wythers for being a squirrel and breaking the alt rules. Silly, Wythers, you all think...how could anyone incorrectly alt-guess this as Pebbles. You, all do, however, take the hint and resolve to leave your squirrelly guesses and reasons in the heavens.
