I just gave my /in to mod another mini normal, since my last has just completed. Here's the setup.

Roles

2x
Mafia Goon

1x
Town Gunsmith

1x
Town 1-Shot Vigilante

6x
Townie


Mechanics
  • Daystart
  • Majority lynch rules
  • Private threads have daytalk
Possible tweaks
  • If townsided, could add a Mafia investigative role, or further restrict the Vigilante to e.g. Night 3 or Novice 1-Shot.
  • If scumsided, could add some minor town PR such as X-Shot Commuter, or simply disallow daytalk.
Spoiler: Role PMs
Mafia GoonWelcome to Mini ####! You are a
Mafia Goon
.

You and your teammate(s) share a private topic in which you can talk during all phases of the game, as long as you are alive.

Each night you and your teammate(s) may together choose one living player to shoot and kill. You must specify which of you carries out the shot.

You win when the Mafia is the sole surviving faction, or when nothing can prevent this.

Town GunsmithWelcome to Mini ####! You are a
Town Gunsmith
.

Each night you may choose one living player to investigate. You will learn whether that player has a gun.
(All Mafia roles have guns except Doctor and Traitor. The following town roles have guns: Cop, Vigilante, Gunsmith, Role Cop, Vanilla Cop, Backup of any role with a gun, and Jack-of-All-Trades where any component role has a gun.)


You win when the Town is the sole surviving faction.

Town 1-Shot VigilanteWelcome to Mini ####! You are a
Town 1-Shot Vigilante
.

On one night of your choice, you may choose one living player to shoot and kill.

You win when the Town is the sole surviving faction.

TownieWelcome to Mini ####! You are a
Townie
.

You win when the Town is the sole surviving faction.

Spoiler: Rules post
Rules


None of these rules supercede or contradict the Forum Rules and Guidelines, all of which are in full force.




Tl;dr
  • This game is Normal.
  • Days are
    240 hours (10 days)
    ; nights are
    48 hours (2 days)
    .
  • Standard 48/24 prod timers; naked prod dodges are not counted.
  • Standard majority-only lynch mechanics.
  • Private threads have daytalk.


Conduct
  1. Don't use
    orange
    , it's my color.
  2. Play to win.
  3. Don't discuss the game outside of the game until it's over.
  4. Don't flame. Don't harass. Don't use insults that target minority, disadvantaged, or legally protected classes.
  5. Keep interpersonal disputes out of the game thread.
  6. Don't quote or misquote private communications from the moderator.
  7. Don't use encryption, tiny/hidden/unreadable text, or anything that could be easily confused for such.
  8. All replacement requests will be taken as serious, irrevocable, and immediate. Once you request replacement you are no longer a player and may not post.
  9. Don't game the rules, pretend to break the rules, or intentionally test the limits. All pretended violations will be dealt with identically to actual violations.
  10. Don't break the rules of any other ongoing game in this thread.
  11. Don't argue moderator actions in the game thread. If you want to dispute a ruling, do so via PM.


Game mechanics


Day
  • Days begin with a deadline of
    240 hours
    (10 days).
  • Days will end when one of the following events occurs:
    • The deadline is reached.
    • A lynch (or no-lynch) is achieved.
    • A town-aligned player is modkilled.
  • Votes should be made via the vote tag: “[vote]<playername>[/vote]” or “[v]<playername>[/v]”. Full player names or initial segments thereof are preferred.
  • When more than half of living players are voting for the same player, that player will be lynched and the day will end. Votes are irrevocable once a majority is achieved.
  • You may vote not to lynch by voting for “No lynch”. When half or more of living players do so, the day will end without a lynch.
  • If the day reaches deadline without a majority, there will be no lynch.
  • I will interpret malformed votes according to my own discretion. In general, if it looks like a vote, I will probably count it as a vote. I reserve the right to edit malformed votes for easier counting.
  • When a majority vote has been achieved but not yet recognized by the moderator, the game is in
    twilight
    . Players, including the lynchee, may continue to post during this period.
  • Under certain circumstances I may elect to extend the deadline. I will announce this in thread if it occurs.
Night
  • Nights will last
    48 hours
    , or until all living players give me their approval to end the night early.
  • During the night, you should be unable to post in the public game thread. If for some reason you are able, doing so is still against the rules.
  • Mafia night abilities should be submitted in the Mafia's private thread. Factional kills must specify which mafioso carries out the kill.
  • Town night abilities should be submitted via PM.
  • Use of active night abilities is optional unless otherwise specified in the role PM; if no action is submitted, no action will occur.


Activity requirements
  • Players who do not confirm within
    48 hours
    of receiving their role PM will be replaced.
  • Players who do not post any game-related content for
    48 hours
    in a single game-day will incur a prod.
  • Players who do not post any game-related content for
    24 hours
    following a prod will be replaced.
  • Players who incur three prods will be replaced.
  • “Prod dodges” (posts with no game-related content) will be disregarded for purposes of the prod timer.
  • If for any reason you are temporarily unable to meet these requirements, you may declare V/LA status
    in thread
    and be excused. V/LA declarations must include a definite end date.
  • Notwithstanding V/LA status, any player who does not post at all for
    7 days
    of consecutive day time will be replaced.
  • These are minimal requirements, not recommendations; please keep the game active.


Sample role PM


At least one player will receive the role of
Townie
and the following role PM:
Welcome to Mini ####! You are a
Townie
.

You win when the Town is the sole surviving faction.
