The Rules:


1. Social Contract

*This is a game. I've done my best while setting it up to make it enjoyable for everyone. Fun is our first priority.

*I will do the following:
=treat this game as my MafiaScum priority, as a committment to the players
=post votecounts at least once per page whenever possible
=prod players w/o prompting
=answer questions as soon as possible

*I expect all players to do the following:
=have fun and play to win
=treat the game as a commitment to yourself, to the other players and to me
=not make personal attacks
=stay active per my activity policy
=bring concerns or problems to my attention as soon as possible

2. Activity

*This game will have fixed deadlines (extensible only in extreme circumstances) and I expect players to actively participate.

*Deadlines for days are 3 weeks long. Deadlines for nights will be 72 hours long. All deadlines will expire at 7PM GMT. However, if a player is in need of replacement during a night phase, the night will not end until that replacement is found, regardless of whether or not that player has a night action to perform.

*Players not posting for 72 hours will be prodded and must respond in the game thread within 24 hours, or risk being replaced.

*If you see a player has not posted in thread for 72 hours and I have not announced a prod, please PM me. All prods are stated publicly.

*If you will be away and unable to post over 48 hours, please let me know. You may be replaced if I believe your absence will disrupt the game.

3. Votes and Lynches

*Lynches will only occur with a true majority of voters (Half the number of living players plus one). Once a person has reached a majority, they are dead and unvoting them will not stop the lynch.

*If the deadline hits before anyone has been lynched, then no one will be lynched.

*Votes and unvotes should be bolded in the following format (
vote: iamausername
,
unvote: iamausername
). It is not necessary to unvote before making a new vote.

*Players may vote for no lynch to occur on any given day (
vote: No Lynch
). A majority of votes for no lynch will end the day and no one will be lynched.

*Until I have counted the votes and posted the death scene and role reveal, all players including the lynchee may continue to post.

*Once I have posted a scene indicating that a player is dead, they are not to post anything else at all, not even a "Bah!" post.

4. Other (but still important!) Stuff
*Do not post or quote directly from any PM or communication outside this thread between me and you or you and another player. Do so and I will modkill you. Don't even fake it. Put whatever you have to say in your own words.

*Modkills end the day.

*Do not post in invisible/small text or otherwise attempt to hide the text of your posts.

*Do not edit your posts or the posts of others.

*Do not discuss this game with other players (whether in this game or not) outside of this thread, unless I have told you otherwise, until this game is completed.

*At my sole discretion I reserve the right to remove any player from the game and replace or modkill their role.

The Setup:


This game will use the F11 setup, as is standard for all Newbie games at the moment. This is a semi-open setup, where one of the four possibilities listed below is randomly chosen, with equal weight given to each.

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

*In either of the first two cases, if the mafia goon is killed first, the roleblocker will be able to submit both a kill AND a block each night.

*All roles are assigned totally randomly, with no accounting for IC status, or anything else.


These are the possible Role PMs:
You are a
Townie
. During the night, you have no special abilities to use.

During the day, you must attempt to find the mafia members hidden in the town, and you may vote for which player you wish to see lynched.

You win when all mafia players are dead.
You are a
Cop
. During the night, you may choose one other player to investigate. If your investigation is not blocked, you will receive a response of "Guilty" if they are aligned with the mafia, and "Innocent" if they are aligned with the town. If your investigation is blocked, you will receive a response of "No Result".

During the day, you must attempt to find the mafia members hidden in the town, and you may vote for which player you wish to see lynched.

You win when all mafia players are dead.
You are a
Doctor
. During the night, you may choose one other player to protect. If your protection is not blocked, then that player will not die if they are the target of the mafia's kill that night. You will not be informed if you are blocked.

During the day, you must attempt to find the mafia members hidden in the town, and you may vote for which player you wish to see lynched.

You win when all mafia players are dead.
You are a
Mafia Roleblocker
. Your partner is
[NAME]
, who is a Mafia Goon. During the night, the two of you may converse in private and decide on one member of the town to target for a kill. In addition, you may target one player to block, and if that player is performing a special action at night, it will fail.

During the day, you must attempt to blend in with the town, and you may vote for which player you wish to see lynched. You may not communicate in private with your partner during the day.

You win when all town players are dead, or when it is inevitable that this will be the case.
You are a
Mafia Goon
. Your partner is
[NAME]
, who is (a Mafia Roleblocker/also a Mafia Goon). During the night, the two of you may converse in private and decide on one member of the town to target for a kill.

During the day, you must attempt to blend in with the town, and you may vote for which player you wish to see lynched.

You win when all town players are dead, or when it is inevitable that this will be the case.

These games must begin.

Well, I'm your IC (Inexperienced - Challenged Player) for the game. My job is to help guide you through some of the fundamental pieces of play in the game to help get you acquantiated to Mafiascum's style of play. I'll try to touch on abberviations, what you should do in certain situations and the like.

First thing I want to say, there will NOT be no-lynch on Day 1. While it may seem statistically more effective
in theory,
in practice it is not. I personally did the actual statistics for the Day 1 no-lynch, and town only wins 17.6% of time. So hows that for statistics? Not to mention the information gained from the flip, connections between players, who is on the wagon, and other pieces of information related to the lynch. Just thought I'd kill that thought before it springs up.

Lastly,
Vote: Slepz,
your name is close to sleep, something I want a lot of right now.

[IC]Random votes are not the only way to start a game, but I personally prefer doing so. This phase of the game is usually known as the RVS, or Random Voting Stage. There is no distinct seperation between the RVS and actual discussion, so a more suitable way to think of it is the Random Voting Phase, which eventually flows into actual discussion. If you random vote, I highly suggest avoiding methods such as diceroll or using random.org as they attribute your vote to an arbitrary reason that will have no bearing within the game and will not provide anything for discussion in this phase.[/IC]

Hai peeps. I am one of your SE's this game. I hate long posts (yeah get that random wagon going.) and am an Aussie. (Even more reason for a random vote.)

I don't like this game. The best thing about Newbie games is the little newbie's I get to corrupt and manipulate. SE's are too smart for that. :'(

Unvote; Vote: Espeonage!


This is a blatant OMGUS vote and also because you tried to confuse the town with your "not really a vote"! Fake votes suck :P

[IC]OMGUS: An abbreviation for "Oh My God, You Suck." It refers to votes or actions that are made in direct retaliation to someone attacking you without regard for their motives. OMGUS votes are considered emotional and poor, and can be a sign of an overreactive and defense scum.[/IC]

Confirm Vote:Espeonage
FoS/Nextlynch: Easjo


I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR.

Hey guys, I Found Espeonage's partner!
Take note of the obvious distancing by easjo from Espeonage, combined with his absolving himself of his responsibility for his vote with the Kiwi/Aussie deal. Espeonage, you made it way too easy with your fake vote on your partner, which once again, is obvious distancing. Finally, the OMGUS vote in Espeonage's last post really seals the deal. Thanks, but I was hoping for a longer game :P gg town.

Because as the IC here, he has the most experience and I must regard him as either my closest ally or deadliest of my enemies.

This is my first game here on this Forum, so let's see how this game goes! Good luck to everyone.

I'm going to make a chart of my suspicions for the rest to see that so that if I am lynched or nightkilled, then people can see what I was thinking.

Vote: Silver



Okay some weird posts...post 1. Silver automatically votes for Espeonage based on the fact he/she likes long posts...??.......Post 2. He/She tells Kunk that Kunk's acting haste or whatever, this coming from the person who posted right after Kunk voted for Espeonage.

Well, i personally am a newb. Kunk was helping me out with his first post. I figure i can learn a thing or two from someone like him. Yes, i do like long posts, im bored and they give me something to do :p. Plus Kunk IS being hasty. Its not like my vote is set in stone lol. i can just as easily vote for you Jay. And he is being hasty because i dont want to lynch an innocent person before i have any evidence to point to them :p
