Game Rules:

Gameplay:

1. You may not post Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind.
   
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it. Players with roles allowing communication may only communicate outside the thread during the Night phase.
   
3. Mafia games sometimes start with the Night phase. However, in order for all players to play at least one game day, this game will start with a Day phase. Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
   
4. The games at mafiascum.net typically do not have a posting requirement. As a general rule, however, you should aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.

Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:

1. A simple majority of all living members must agree on one person for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down).
   
2. Once you have reached a simple majority, no further unvoting will change someone’s fate.
   
3. Please submit votes as:
   Vote: PlayerName
   . Votes will NOT be counted otherwise!
   
4. Please submit vote revocations as either
   UnVote: PlayerName
   or
   Unvote
   .
   If you do not unvote, your new vote may NOT be counted!
   
   
5. You may
   Vote: No Lynch
   - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
   
6. Each Day phase will last no longer than
   4 weeks
   . Earlier deadlines may be implemented if I feel that discussion is lagging. At deadline, ½ the original number of votes will be required for a lynch to occur. In case of a tie, the person who first received the required number of votes will be lynched. If this number is not met, a No Lynch will occur.
   
7. Each Night phase will last no longer than
   3 days
   , long enough to allow mafia to discuss strategy and choose who to kill. If you have a role with a Night action, your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline, no choice will be made.
   
8. Once a player is lynched, the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; the lynched player may not post during twilight but all other living players may continue to post.
   
9. Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post, except for a brief “Bah!”-type post.

Miscellaneous:

1. Robust cryptography and steganography are not allowed in my games. No invisible/small text is allowed, either.
   
2. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM me privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
   
3. Questions/requests for the Mod may be posted in-thread.
   Please bold all requests so that I don’t miss them.
   
   
4. Terminology and answers to common questions can usually be found by a perusal of the
   Mafiascum.net Wiki
   . If you can't find the answer to a question, feel free to ask!
   
5. Prods of missing players will be issued upon request or as I see fit. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
   
6. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread.
   Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.

The Golden Rule:

Please remember that this is a game, and your main objective is to have fun! Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game.

The F11 setup is a relatively new format used in Newbie games. To prevent the development of game-breaking strategies, these Newbie Games are Semi-Open, wherein the actual game setup is randomly chosen from one of four possible setups as detailed below:

• 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Sane Cop, 1 Sane Doctor, 5 Townies
  
• 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 7 Townies
  
• 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Cop, 6 Townies
  
• 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Doctor, 6 Townies

If either of the first two setups are in play, and the situation occurs where the Goon is lynched first, the Roleblocker will still be able to submit both night kills and roleblocks (roleblocking is a function of the Roleblocker; night kills are a function of the scum team as a whole).

These are the Role PMs that have potentially been sent to the players:

Mafia-Aligned players:

Mafia Goon:

You are a member of the Mafia along with your partner,

name

. Since your plot to quietly overtake the town has failed, you will attempt take it by force by eliminating the others until you outnumber the populace.

• During the day, try to blend in with the normal Townies, and attempt to get someone lynched.
  
• During the NIGHT cycle ONLY, you may talk with your fellow Mafia (via PM) and choose another player in the town to kill that night.
  
• You may communicate privately with your fellow Mafia up until the game thread is opened. Once the game begins, all outside communication must cease until the night cycle.
  
• You win when the number of Mafia equals or exceeds the number of remaining Town players, whether you survive to the end or not.

Mafia Roleblocker:

You are a member of the Mafia along with your partner,

name

. Since your plot to quietly overtake the town has failed, you will attempt take it by force by eliminating the others until you outnumber the populace.

• During the day, try to blend in with the normal Townies, and attempt to get someone lynched.
  
• As a Roleblocker, you have the ability to distract any player throughout the night, effectively negating their night ability, if they have one.
  
• Send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to block. If they have a Night action, it will have no effect. You will not be informed as to whether your roleblock worked or not.
  
• During the NIGHT cycle ONLY, you may talk with your fellow Mafia (via PM) and choose another player in the town to kill that night.
  
• You may communicate privately with your fellow Mafia up until the game thread is opened. Once the game begins, all outside communication must cease until the night cycle.
  
• You win when the number of Mafia equals or exceeds the number of remaining Town players, whether you survive to the end or not.

Town-Aligned players:

Townie:

You are a normal townsperson, trying to make a living and survive this insanity.

• You have no abilities at Night other than getting a good night's rest.
  
• Although you do not have any special abilities, your voice and vote are powerful weapons in their own right. Use them to your best advantage!
  
• At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
  
• You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

Cop:

You are the local law enforcement, and can tell the good guys from the bad.

• Each NIGHT, you may send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to investigate.
  
• The Moderator will inform you as to that person’s guilt or innocence.
  
• At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
  
• In a Newbie game, you will always get a correct result (no sanity issues).
  
• You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

Doctor:

You are the local physician, and can protect people from harm.

• Each NIGHT, you may send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to protect.
  
• If someone attempts to kill that player during the Night, they will be spared.
  
• You may not protect yourself.
  
• At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
  
• In a Newbie game, your protection target will always live through the night (no quacks).
  
• You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

Roles will be distributed with the assistance of Mafiascum Tools - Random Generator. Please support this project!

[Mastermind of Sin]

Roles are going out now. Please confirm in thread. Once we have at least 8 confirms, Day 1 will begin.

[Mastermind of Sin]

The following newbie players never picked up their role pms for Newbie 661:

slashedtire
georgelangham

If they don't pick up their pms by tomorrow evening, I'll grab two people off the front of the newbie queue list for the game, since we haven't started yet.

Thanks!

[Mastermind of Sin]

Kerleyden and slayer645 replace slashedtire and georgelangham. As soon as they confirm, Day 1 will begin.

[Mastermind of Sin]

It seems someone already beat me to Kerleyden, so he can't play in this game. Therefore, I've grabbed Spooky to replace him. In the meantime, since slayer645 has confirmed, that's enough people to start Day 1.

Day 1 begins now. You have four weeks maximum. If all players agree, I can shorten the deadline. Let me know by PM.

[Mastermind of Sin]

First Vote Count of Day 1:

Spooky - (Kairyuu, slayer645, Macavenger)

Nto - (Save The Dragons)
DynamoXI - (Spooky)

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch

<3 STD! Welcome back, now go support my proposal to allow new mods to mod newbie games! My first ever game as a mod was a newbie game with you as my supervisor/co-mod, and it went fine! We have a new list mod now (Mr. Flay instead of Norinel), but this policy should be reinstated to solve the mod/IC shortage! Go support it in Site Ideas! Also, HIIIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI!!!!! ^_^

You'll be glad to know that blasted imposter STD hasn't been seen around here for some time now. You're finally free of him! >_>

[Mastermind of Sin]

I'm V/LA for a bit, moving back into my apartment this week, plus school starts monday. Not sure when I'll be able to post next.

That said, I prodded Spooky and headbuddy. I will check back on Wednesday to see if they have posted. It would help if a player would pm me if they post, to make my job easier.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Second Vote Count of Day 1:

Spooky - (Kairyuu, slayer645, Macavenger)

Macavenger - (Save The Dragons)
DynamoXI - (Spooky)
Save The Dragons - (Haterade)

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch

Yea, Flay's doing pretty good as list mod, except for the fact that we have a shortage of ICs and Mods for newbie games, and he has been cockblocking the new mod/mentor plan for the last 6 months.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Third Vote Count of Day 1:

Spooky - (Kairyuu, slayer645, Macavenger)

Macavenger - (Save The Dragons)

[Mastermind of Sin]

For the record, the IC players in this game are Save The Dragons and Macavenger.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Inquisitor Vulcan Skorn replaces Headbuddy. Dynamo and Macavenger will be prodded.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Fourth Vote Count of Day 1:

Lindisfarne - (Macavenger, Nto)
slayer645 - (Save The Dragons, Lindisfarne)

Kairyuu - (Haterade)
Macavenger - (Kairyuu)

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch

[Mastermind of Sin]

You mean Macavenger? Spooky's gone already

It was just copied from the last vote count. I forgot to remove it.

Haterade has been prodded. Searching for a replacement for Macavenger.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Sixth Vote Count of Day 1:

Haterade - (Kairyuu, slayer645, DynamoXI)

Kairyuu - (Haterade)

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch

I am searching for a replacement for IVS.

[Mastermind of Sin]

afatchic replaces IVS

Note: My standard deadline time is midnight at the END of the day the deadline is listed as. You have about 30 hours still left.

Haterade has been prodded.

[Mastermind of Sin]

That's a lynch!

Haterade is DEAD. He was the Mafia Roleblocker!

Haterade, Mafia Roleblocker, lynched Day 1

It is now Night 1. Please send me your choices. You have about 72 hours max to submit choices.

[Mastermind of Sin]

You wake up to find

Save The Dragons

drowning in a pool of his own blood. He was a

townie

.

It is now Day 2. With 7 alive, it takes 4 to lynch.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Yup, afatchic was the last scum.

Quick note: I was really surprised when afatchic pmed me and said that he thought Lindisfarne was the cop and didn't try to kill him. Without a direct cop claim, you should pretty much always try to kill the cop if you figure out who it is.

Night 1 Choices:

Kill STD
Investigate Yuu
Protect Kairyuu

Town Win!

[Mastermind of Sin]

Haterade: Mafia Roleblocker
