RULES

(stolen and modified from all the other people who post rules)

General Gameplay

- Only

black, visible text

is allowed in this thread.

Red

is my colour, and there will be modkilling involved if I see anyone else using it.
- No quoting or fake-quoting any PMs from the mod. This is a modkillable offense.
- If you wish to vote, your must bold your vote as such:

vote: Kublai Khan

or it will not be counted. Likewise, bold your

Unvote

before voting anew.
- The will be no discussing this game outside of this thread unless your role specifically permits you to do so.
- No posting in this thread once you’re dead. If you want to gripe about dying, please wait until the game ends. Bah posts are okay.
- No editing or deleting posts. If I catch you, there shall be modkilling.
- Night choices must be submitted by the deadline given to each night phase. If I do not get a night choice from you and/or your partner(s), nothing will happen. If you do not wish to perform your night action, you may send me a PM that states "No Action".
- If a player needs to be replaced and a replacement is not found before a night phase, I will randomize that player's night action for that night phase.
- Votecounts will appear at the top of every page, and anywhere else I see fit to stick them.
- Mods never make mistakes. If it looks like I have, I'm just testing to see if you'll correct me.

Lynching, Deaths, and Deadlines

- Lynching shall be accomplished by simple majority. Once a player reaches the majority needed for a lynch, unvotes will stop counting and the day will end.
- If you wish to avoid a lynch, you may

vote: no lynch

. If a simple majority of people votes no lynch, the day shall end without one.
- The day will not end if someone is mod-killed.
- A deadline will be imposed if I feel that the game is dragging. It may be retracted if posting picks up enough, but final deadlines are final.
- For a deadline lynch to occur, one more than half of the votes needed for a normal majority shall be needed for a deadline lynch. (If you need 7 votes for a normal lynch, you will need 4 to lynch at deadline. However, in a LYLO situation or a situation where there are 4 or less players remaining, normal majority rules will still apply for deadline)

Other

- Please be active. If you’re going to be unavailable for more than 2 days, either post a note in this thread or PM the mod. Thank you.
- Prods shall be sent after 4 days of unexcused inactivity and be given a 3-day window of response. Then I will start looking for replacements. If you want prods sent sooner, ask me in thread.
- If you want to ask me a question in thread or request a prod, please get my attention by bolding your request, as follow:

Mod: do something

- Remember that this is just a game. Have fun. Assholes will be modkilled.[/u]

Sample PMs

-----

9 Townie PMs read

You are a vanilla townie. You get no special night powers, but you do have the power to post and to vote.

You win when all the scum are eliminated (even if you are dead by that time).

This game will be held in Little Italy, and here is a link to the game: http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10864

-----

2 Mafia PMs read

You are a member of the Mafia with XXXXXXXX. You may communicate with them during the confirmation stage and during night phases.

Each night you may target a player to be killed. If both you and your partner send in different kills. The first to reach me will be killed.

You win (even if you personally are dead) when at least half of the living players are mafia.

1 Doctor PM reads

You are the Doctor. You may target a player to be protected, this will protect them from a kill for one night.

You win when all the scum are eliminated (even if you are dead by that time).

-={Ok... Wouldn't a better algorithm not make mistakes?}=-

-<Well, yes and no... The town algorithms are trying to simulate normal human bahavior, while the mafia algorithms are trying to confuse or sidetrack the town algorithms.>-

-={So was the townie killed because the mafia sidetracked the town, or because the town is dumb?}=-

-<Well, the simulator just spits out results so I don't really know. But, nevermind that. It's still early in the simulation. It's going to run a Night Phase now. This is where the doctor algorithm is pitted against the scheming mafia algorithms.>-

Note: Giuseppe is V/LA until 4/9. He has requested replacement, but if no replacement has been found before he returns, he will continue the game.

[Kublai Khan]

I'm not sure if it has to be in bold or not but:
MOD - Can we get a prod to Grimmy?

Yes, mod questions should be bolded. The day just started. I'll give Grimmy until Monday to post before I start prodding him.

[Kublai Khan]

Mod and everyone

:just so everyone knows, starting this thursday: for about a week and a half i will be posting slim to none (depending on computer acess). Given the amount of players, and the inactivity, I am not really worried about alot going on while I am away from home.

Although, if this is too long for people, then please replace me. I will try to post when i can, but i am still not sure if where I am going will have a computer that I can acess.

Bummer. But a week and a half isn't the end of the world and I'm doubting if I could even track down a replacement in that time frame. So I'll just consider you

V/LA

.

Please post if/when you can.

Just got called in to work, so I'm opening this thread a little early.

Giuseppe (Vanilla Townie) was killed on Night 3.

I'll put in a proper flavor post here when I get home later.

With 6 players remaining, it takes 4 to lynch. Go!

[Kublai Khan]

Hmm.. Seems to be a lull happening. Let's kick-start this game, people.

Prodding Grimmy
Prodding madeofphail (his V/LA should be done-ish by now)
Prodding dejkha

Cephrir's V/LA noted.

[Kublai Khan]

And following that up, this is the way I'm seeing things right now.

madeofphail

dejkha

Cephrir

AndyTony

Grimmy
Zachrulez

- Only black, visible text is allowed in this thread.

Red

is my colour, and there will be modkilling involved if I see anyone else using it.

I'll give you a warning because you used red in a way that nobody could mistake it for a mod comment. But watch yourself, Mr. Rulez.

[Kublai Khan]

Mod - please prod Grimy and Ceph

Grimmy already posted. But it's been three days since Cephrir posted, so consider him prodded. He now has 48 hours to post in the thread or be replaced.

Open 124 (2:10 Bugs Bunny) is officially over. Great job everyone! Post-game discussion to follow. Punch will be served.

[Kublai Khan]

I'll post more later on tonight when I'm done work, but overall, I want to thank everyone. Not a single replacement was needed! You guys rock.

I want to congratulate AndyTony and Cephrir for doing a great job as scum. AndyTony especially did an awesome job of posting and leading the town astray. Cephrir also did a great job lurking and staying off the radar until it was too late.

madeofphail, I think you're way too hard on yourself. You did a great job. The call to No Lynch was absolutely the right strategy move with an even number of players at LYLO. However, outing yourself as the doctor completely negated it. Still, it's a learning experience.
