The Might of Mordor

Narrated by: Andrius
Reviewed by: xReckonerx, Empking

"Mordor.
The one place in Middle-Earth we don't wanna see any closer.
It's the one place we are trying to get to.
It's just where we can't get." - Sam

One does not simply walk into Mordor.

Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs.
There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful.
It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume.
Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly! - Boromir

Andrius' Mafia RuleSet

I: Pre-Game

I.

Confirmations will be done in-thread in this game.

II.

Factions with QuickTopics (QTs) will be able to converse as per the rules of their QTs. The "Mafia" faction has DayTalk.

III.

When all of the players confirm, I will start Day One.

II: Day Phase (DP)

I.

Each Day Phase shall last two weeks.

II.

QTs, unless members have DayTalk, cannot talk during the DP.

III. Votes must be bolded or they shall not be counted.

Abbreviating someone's name is acceptable, so long as I can discern who you were voting for without trouble.

IV.

Unvoting is not required, but is much appreciated by me, the moderator.

V.

Once you have reached a simple majority (half of all living players plus one) that person's fate is sealed and they shall be lynched. Unvoting cannot change their fate.

VI.

If half the living players approve a No Lynch (

Vote: No Lynch

), then no player shall be lynched and the game shall enter Night Phase. If deadline is reached and no one has received a simple majority of the votes, no one shall be lynched.

VII.

Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I arrive and post a death scene. All players may continue to post during Twilight.

VIII.

If you have failed to post for over 48 hours, I will send you a prod. Failure to respond to this prod within 48 hours will result in the replacement of that player. Force-replacing of flakers/rule-breakers will be occur at my discretion.

IX.

A deadline extension of 24 hours to the DP may be granted; just ask.

III: Twilight Phase

I.

Twilight Phase is the time between the moment when a simple majority for a lynch is met, and when I post the death scene and lock the thread for Night Phase. All players, including the lynchee, may continue to talk in-thread.

II.

Votes and Unvotes shall not be counted during Twilight.

III.

Once the lynch scene has been posted the thread shall be locked for the Night Phase.

IV: Night Phase (NP)

I.

Night shall last 72 hours (three days).

II.

The mafia faction and any other group with a quicktopic will be able to communicate using their QT.

III.

Any role or faction with night abilities may choose to use them by PM-ing the mod with their choice.

IV.

If no action is received, no action will be taken. All actions received after the deadline has passed will not be acknowledged.

V.

Contradictions in action resolution (i.e. mutual roleblocks/recruitions) are resolved by giving the first action submitted priority. This ONLY applies if actions cannot be resolved normally.

V: Capital Offenses

I.

Do not quote your Role PM or any private communication (either real or fabricated) with the moderator, co-moderator, or backup-moderator. Paraphrasing your Role PM is acceptable.

II.

There is to be no personal communication outside the forum postings (regarding this game) unless your role specifically allows it.

III.

I will use the color

Dark Red

for mod stuff outside of my posts. Posts originally made by me will vary in color.

IV.

Do not quote your Role PM. (Again, for emphasis.)

V.

Various Outlawed Shenanigans:

• Using invisible text, codes, cryptography, etc.
  
• Editing your posts (if you have the power to do so)
  
• Insulting other players
  
• Do not quote any QTs you may have access to

If any of these offenses are committed, I have the right to force-replace you from the game or modkill you. A warning will usually come before replacement or modkilling, depending on the severity of the infraction.

VI: Miscellaneous

I.

Feel free to address me in-thread, but if there is a large egregious mistake please PM me. Small matters like errors in the votecount can be posted in-thread.

II.

I have the final say on any issue.

III.

This is a game. Have fun, and keep the game fun for other people. Stay civilized, please.

IV.

Play to win.

VII: Game-Specific Rules

I.

There are no Cults or Jesters in this setup.

II.

This is not a bastard game.

III.

There are no Vanilla Roles.

IV.

Each Day Phase you will vote for a lynch and for one player to bear

The One Ring

for the following Night Phase. The player who is given this responsibility will gain access to their Superpower for that night only. You may win this honor more than once. To vote for this honor, you may

Imbue: Player

to support their bid or

Un-Imbue

to remove your support. Like Lynch-Voting, you may vote for yourself, and Unvotes are not necessary. You need a simple majority (half the live players +1) of votes to win this honor. Once the majority is reached, the Imbue is locked in place for the Day.

[Andrius]

Day The First

There are no formalities. There is no small-talk. You are the Undead, and the enforcers of Mordor. Where you go the hordes of Orcs and Trolls and dark creatures follow.

But no one interferes when the Nazgul are involved. Twelve hooded and cloaked figures descend on the bluff between Mount Doom and Barad-dur. On a cragged stone pedestal in the center of the bluff sits The One Ring. Forged by the Dark Lord Sauron an age ago, the

Heroes of Light

are here to destroy it. And as the dozen hooded figures glance from hooded face to hooded face, you know that just running to claim it would spell certain death.

Day One has begun.
With 12 alive it takes 7 to lynch. It also takes 7 to Imbue.
Deadline is Thursday, February 10th, at around 1pm PST.
