36/24 prod timers; naked prod dodges are not counted.
Plurality elimination mechanics.
Private topics have daytalk.
Conduct
Don't use
orange
, it's my color.
Play to win.
Don't discuss the game outside of the game until it's over.
Don't flame. Don't harass. Don't use insults that target minority, disadvantaged, or legally protected classes.
Keep interpersonal disputes out of the game thread.
Don't quote or misquote private communications from the moderator.
Don't use encryption, tiny/hidden/unreadable text, or anything that could be easily confused for such.
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.
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.
Don't break the rules of any other ongoing game in this thread.
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
168 hours
(10 days).
Days will end when one of the following events occurs:
The deadline is reached.
A majority vote for a single player 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
launched
(eliminated) and the day will end. Votes are irrevocable once a majority is achieved.
If the day reaches deadline without a majority, the player with the most votes will be launched. In the event of a tie, the tied player who most recently had more votes than the others will be launched. If no one votes at all for an entire day I will end the game in a mutual loss -- don't let that happen.
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 condemned, 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
24 hours
.
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.
Activity requirements
Players who do not confirm within
36 hours
of receiving their role PM will be replaced.
Players who do not post any game-related content for
36 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
5 days
of consecutive day time will be replaced.
These are minimal requirements, not recommendations; please keep the game active.

Setup
The setup for this game is To Tell the Truth, a new setup of my own creation.
Roles
3
Mafia Goons
6
Townies
Mechanics
Plurality elimination mechanics apply: if no one has a majority vote at the end of the day then the player with the most votes will be eliminated, with ties resolved by seniority.
The Mafia has no factional kill ability.
Instead, each night, the Mafia choose two living players. Alignment information about these players will be revealed publicly the next morning, according to the following process:
The two names are arranged in playerlist order.
The moderator rolls 1d2. On 1, a necessarily true (innocent or guilty) result is given on the
first
player; on 2, a necessarily truthful result is given on the
second
.
The moderator then rolls 1dX, where X is the number of living players. If the result is less than or equal to the number of living Mafia, the remaining player is to be declared
guilty
; otherwise that player is to be declared
innocent
.
The moderator combines these two results into a disjunctive statement, i.e. "Player1 is
innocent
or Player2 is
guilty
," so that the statement as a whole is true. It is this statement that is revealed publicly to the town.

Oh, wait, that's not right...

Thanks for playing, everyone! Sorry about the troll flip, I thought it would be funny to give Datisi a heart attack.
In retrospect this setup was waaaaay more townsided than I intended and probably needs some more workshopping. I'm open to ideas on how it could be improved.

I think that without a nightkill this setup will in practice be "3:6 Nightless with two Innocent Children"
If I try to run something like this again I'll need to have both a factional kill and some motive for scum to actually change up their investigation targets, otherwise it's not all that interesting.
“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,
I forgot to make one on Night 1 and then again on Night 2, and by the time I did think of it I figured the game would be over soon anyway at the rate it was going.
