Rules
(largely cribbed from Alianna but I stuck her in spec chat so she can't come after me)
General
1. Please abide by all site rules.
2. Toxic and harmful behaviour will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to:
- flaming, insulting, or directing personal attacks at other players
- use of slurs or derogatory language
- spamming
- excessive AtE
- excessive discussion of real life issues (a mention is fine, but this is not a place to vent or to go into detail)
- otherwise being a jerk or making the game unenjoyable for others
3. If you wish to replace out, request replacement via PM. Do not discuss replacing out in thread or suggest that another player replace out. Do not discuss the reasons behind a player replacing out.
4. Once you request replacement or I post that you are being replaced it is final. You cease to be a player in the game and may no longer post.
5. After your departure is announced in the game thread, you may no longer post in the game thread or any associated PTs other than the spectator PT.
6. My mod colour this game is
#4000FF
. You can use it as long as you aren't trying to impersonate me.
7. Please be mindful of other users' preferred pronouns and do your best not to misgender others. Continual or flagrant violations may result in warnings/force replacement.
8. Moderation actions will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the individual circumstances. Player alignment, of course, will not be a factor.
9. If you have concerns that moderator action is needed somewhere or that I have made a mistake (excluding minor errors like VC mistakes), please contact me via PM.
10. I reserve the right to alter the ruleset. Any rules changes will be announced in the game thread.
Activity
11. At minimum, you must post in the game thread once every 36 hours. If you fail to do so, you will be prodded.
12. You must pick up your prod and post game-relevant content within 24 hours or be replaced.
13. If you accumulate 3 prods, you will be replaced.
14. If you are going to be absent for longer than 48 hours, please declare V/LA in thread or by PM. Players on V/LA will not be prodded.
15. Any player who does not post anything game-relevant for 4 days will be replaced. This rule applies regardless of V/LA status. If you foresee that this will be the case for you, please request replacement.
Deadlines
16. Day one has a 10-day deadline and subsequent days have a 7-day deadline. Nights have a 2-day deadline.
17. The deadline will not count down past 48 hours if a replacement is pending, and may be frozen/extended in other special circumstances pending moderator judgement. Requests for extensions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
18. Fast night is available if all living players, including those without night actions, request it.
Voting and Eliminations
19. Votes and unvotes must be bolded in the format
VOTE: Player
or in vote/unvote tags (VOTE: Player). Vote/unvote tags are preferred.
20. I will not count votes that are:
- unclear (use of nicknames is permitted but if I don't understand who you mean it won't count)
- improperly formatted
- in spoilers or obviously broken quotes
-
struck through
or purposely obfuscated in any other way
21. An elimination occurs when a majority (>50%) of players vote to eliminate someone. If no majority is reached by the deadline, no one will be eliminated.
22. You may vote not to eliminate anyone (VOTE: No Elimination). If the number of living players is even, only 50% of players must agree to secure a no-elimination.
23. Once the hammer vote is cast, the day’s fate is sealed. Discussion may continue into the twilight, but no further votes or unvotes will be counted.
Private Topics
24. If you would like a notes PT, you may request one but you may not directly reference its existence.
25. All PTs shared by two or more players will be released unredacted after the game ends. If you have a notes PT, it is up to you what you would like to do with it, and you will have the moderator privileges to do it yourself.
34. Did you notice this is 34 but there were only 25 points before it? Congratulations on reading the other 25 points, I hope? And also 29, it's very important because it doesn't exist.

Greetings! I am your moderator, the one known as AUREAL. As you may be aware, I have amassed a vast horde of names which could be used for games of Mafia! I assure you, I come by these by totally legitimate means. You can definitely trust me on that, because as you can see, I'm wearing a pirate hat.
However! There is one small problem with which I require your assistance. Much of my precious collection is missing! In fact, I believe they have been
stolen
!
I have reason to suspect that this is likely the work of the nefarious DRAGONEATER70! He has apparently run out of game names, and clearly is in the hunt to acquire more! I have tracked his minions this far by following the trail of scattered game names, but I am lazy and want you to take over for me in finding them. I think there's a hideout of those minions around here somewhere. I definitely didn't create it myself or know anything about it. I need you all to figure out who the minions are so I can stop them from stealing my game names!
Also, if you could pick up those names you find laying around and throw them back in my hoard, that would be great. It's kind of a mess around here.

What are you guys doing?!? You don't look very busy!
Oh, you... you think you found a minion? Of DRAGONEATER70? Oh, well then. I guess I should go lock them up or something. Couldn't have them keep messing with my hoard of game names. Yes, right, I'll go take care of that. The rest of you guys just... keep it up with collecting those game names, I'll be back soon.
Alright, you! Come along with me!

I, your moderator AUREAL, have returned! How's the work here coming along? Did you get a lot done?
What? You haven't done anything?! You wanted to take a break? Look, this is very important! Please, I need you to keep going! There's a lot of names to pick up still! And minions to stop! You don't want all these game names to fall into the wrong hands, do you? They must be secured!
And wait, wasn't there more of you here before I left?? Great, now someone's gone and wandered off! How are we going to get anything done at this rate?

A loose scrap flutters to the ground, revealing what seems to be another game name:
The Mafia are wearing trenchcoats
Wait, what did that one say? Uh, I think you should just ignore it. Don't give it a single thought. In fact, here I found another game name, take that one and secure it in my stash, please.

Alright everyone, just pick up that stack of game names and I'll show you where to put it. There's a secret entrance to my hoard over-
Oh, you... you found a minion? Again? You're sure about that? Oh well, whatever. I'll take care of this situation. Just keep an eye on those names and don't let them wander off or anything. There's more around here to find too, so keep looking!
So then, off we go. The rest of these guys better do some work in the meanwhile...

Alright everyone, I hope we're being productive here. Our numbers are diminishing and I'm really not sure we're going to get all these precious game names secured like this. It doesn't look like you collected any more at all and... wait, what's going on over there? Are you taking a nap!?!?!?

Unbelievable. All these game names are just sitting out in the open, going to waste, and someone decides it's time for a nap. How rude! It's like you don't even understand your purpose here! You're supposed to be helping me! Now, I'm going to show you where to find some more game names and I even got a bag to put them in and... you want to find the other minion of DRAGONEATER70, yes, of course you do.
Maybe this wasn't the best plan after all...

There's also what appears to be another name sticking out of a small notebook in the bag:
Help! Dire weasels stole this game name!
Is it really a game name, though? Maybe the notebook has better information on it inside. The page the game name is bookmarking has some writing on it which looks like possibly some sort of brainstorming or planning. A circled line near the top stands out: "get them to play Mafia"
Votecount 3.01
implosion (3/3)
-> Dannflor (1108), the worst (1119, Not_Mafia (1121)
[HAMMER]
Not Voting (2)
-> Klick, implosion
With 5 seekers, it takes 3 votes to remove someone from play.

How did you even get ahold of that!?!
Uh, I'm sure it's very personal for whoever wrote in it and you should be ashamed for peeking at it!

Well well well, it's down to just three of you left now, I see. I'm not even going to ask what happened to the other one. Probably decided to go write an adventure novel or something, I suppose. Or maybe just getting away from whatever you're doing.

This really would be easier if people were being more responsible instead of wandering off and napping and I don't even know what. I hope you all have strong arms because there's a lot of game names to carry. And also someone here wants to steal them. We'd better all stick together and be careful. Keep a close eye on each other.
Let's go! We're going to protect those game names and take them to safety! DRAGONEATER70 shall not see them again! I believe in us!

Hey... why are you looking at me like that? That says... what? You don't actually think it's stolen property, do you? Just what are you implying?!?
Wait!! Hang on, I just realized something! I saw something over here and I think it's the entrance to the hideout of those thieving DRAGONEATER70 minions! Come look! It's right here, we can go take a look and- or you two could shove someone down the stairs and slam the door.
I guess I really should've expected that. You guys really are into this hunting for the minions thing, aren't you? Well, I have news for you. One of you anyway. That one wasn't working for the nefarious DRAGONEATER70.

What do you mean, I can't be trusted and you're not going to listen to me? I mean sure, I used a disguise and an alias and maaaaybe there's a few game names that don't technically belong to me in there. That's no reason not to listen to me!
Please?
Come back?
Dang it.
