General rules

• This is a game. HAVE FUN!
  
• Respect your fellow players at
  all times.
  If I feel attacks are getting too personal or out of hand I will replace/mod kill you as I see fit.
  
• Do not quote any private mod/player communications. Do not pretend to quote private mod/player communications. Doing so will result in a modkill.
  
• There is to be
  no
  communication outside this thread unless your PM states otherwise.
  
• This is my color. Please don't use it.

Game play rules

• Mod kills will end the day.
  
• All votes must be in all
  bold
  to count and in the following format:
  Vote: Sotty
  . Unvotes are nice, but not required. I will not tolerate any kind of voting tricks. You have been warned.
  
• A lynch will be reached when a majority of players (one-half of the living players plus one) vote for a specific player.
  
• Once this point is reached, no amount of unvoting will stop the lynch.
  
• Each day will have a deadline of three weeks. In extreme circumstances I will extend the deadline by a few days (no more than a week)
  
• If a majority hasn't been reached by the deadline, then there will be a
  no lynch
  
  
• Each night will have a deadline of three days.
  
• Once a lynch has been reached, all players, (including the lynched player) may continue to post until I can get on and lock the thread.
  
• Once you're dead.. Well you're dead. No more posting, dead people can't type! They also can't talk to others still in the game and tell them any info they may or may not have. Simple “bah” posts are allowed, I will delete anything else.

The everything else rules

• No invisible text, encrypted text, stupidly small text or hiding text inside [ color = black ] tags.
  
• I will try and get a votecount up every page or every 24 hours. Feel free to request a vote count at any time.
  
• Prods will go out if you haven't posted in 72 hours. If you don't pick up that prod in 48 hours I will look for a replacement.
  
• If you think you won't be able to post in the thread for a couple of days then please post a notice letting everyone know just that.
  
• Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
  
• Bold all requests to the mod to make them easier for me not to miss.
  
• I'm human, I make mistakes. Feel free to point out mistakes with small things such as the votecount in thread. If you have issues with the game on a bigger level then please PM me.

[Sotty7]

The F11 setup is the current game 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 this quick topic) 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.
  
• You can find the game thread here
  
• Please confirm you have read and understood this PM by sending me a PM back stating your role. Thank you

Mafia Roleblocker:

Set up is being generated and role PMs are being sent out. Please hold...

All role PMs are out, please confirm by PM. The game will start once 7/9 players confirm.

  9
  alive it takes
  5
  to lynch.

[Nobody Special]

Hi, everyone!

I'm your friendly neighborhood Inexperienced Challenged player, or IC for short.

What that means, basically, is that I'm here to help guide you through the mystery that is MafiaScum.net.

If you have any questions about how we play here, feel free to ask me. My actions are governed by this article in our Wiki. If you haven't already, you might consider browsing our Wiki; especially the articles Newbie Guide and Commonly Used Abbreviations.

Regardless of my role in this game, I won't mislead you about theory or proper gameplay. My role as an IC comes before my role in this game (and they're separate roles), so at times, you may see me putting my

IC Hat On

and then taking my

IC Hat Off

.

Because of my severe dislike of the RVS (you

did

read the Common Abbreviations, didn't you? I'll wait.) I like to start off with RQS; the Random Question Stage!

Forthwith:

1) Are you having fun yet?

2) Chocolate or vanilla?

3) How many Mafia games have you played (here or elsewhere)?

4) Lynch all Liars?

5) Math or Sports?

6) Lynch all Lurkers?

7) What do

you

think of the RVS?


I'll post my answers soon, or after everyone, depending on consensus.

[Moospiker]

1-6. No comment
7. It's good

Vote: Nobody Special

[Nobody Special]

Oh, My GOD. YOU SUCK.

Vote: Moospiker

[jmj3000]

Wasting no time are you MooSpiker? Those questions really have no purpose except for 4, 6, and 7. 4 and 6 I say only if there is not a more viable lynch choice, and 7 I say I absolutely do not like it and do not participate in it.

[foilist13]

1) I'm always having fun
2) CHOCOLATE
3) Probably more than everyone here put together
4) No. Sadly, townies lie too.
5) Is mathletes math or a sport? Lol, I do both actually.
6) Squeeze them until their eyes pop out, then lynch them if they still don't post.
7) It's useful. Tends to be the standard so I have no problems with it.

vote: jenniwren

cuz your name confuses me.

[Mutilator7]

1) no
2) chocolate
3) 0
4) yes
5) neither
6) yes
7) idk

[podium123456]

Sup everyone. My mafia history is in my sig.

LOL @ there being more experienced players than newbies in this game.

VOTE: jmj3000

Nobody really likes it, but how else are you going to get the game to move unless there is a RVS? What is your alternative?

[jmj3000]

Let everyone else do the RVS, then examine the votes, the randomness, the bandwagons that formed, and the reactions of the people who were voted.

[podium123456]

mmm... yeah, i used to have the same attitude... but i decided that the game would move faster if i just voted like everyone else. there's really no other way to get the game going, so i figured i would take part instead of sitting back and letting others do it.

i think the most effective way of getting a game going is to just start it at night.

[foilist13]

Hello Podium, we meet again lol

[podium123456]

Hey Foilist! Hope there's no hard feelings over the bullet i put in your head a few days ago!

[Banana Stickers]

1) Are you having fun yet?
Sure.
2) Chocolate or vanilla?
Chocolate. Twist, preferably.
3) How many Mafia games have you played (here or elsewhere)?
Not sure the exact number. I've played them live before, had a lot of fun, which led me to here.
4) Lynch all Liars?
No. Even as a townie, you sometimes have reason to lie for the good of the town.
5) Math or Sports?
Sports.
6) Lynch all Lurkers?
Yes!
7) What do you think of the RVS?
Meh. My least favorite part of this shindig, so no vote from me yet.

[lunaticlucas]

1. Always
2. chocolate
3. first
4. yes
5. math
6. yes
7. idk

[foilist13]

No worries mate. I bounce back quick =D

[podium123456]

hmmmm looks like we're only missing jenniwren so far. not too bad for the first day of the game. im pretty active, and like when others are too. good sign so far.

Oh, and i want to say if you are female, please say so. Otherwise i am going to refer to everyone as 'he'. (wish they had the gender signs here)

[Mutilator7]

VOTE: lunaticlucas because always is capitalized and everything else isn't

[Nobody Special]

Mutilator, there are other players who have non-capitalized names. Why pick lucas?

[podium123456]

he was referring to luna's answers

[Nobody Special]

Ahh, I see. Missed that.

[foilist13]

YOU MUST BE SCUM!!!

My god man!! Misrepresentation, contradiction, its all here!!

unvote, vote: Nobody Special
