Setup Information
Zodiac Mafia is a closed, normal setup.
No sign will have any bias toward any alignment.
Before every day phase, two horoscopes will be chosen. One of the horoscopes will be fortunate, and one of them will be unfortunate. The selection of the horoscopes, as well was which player receives them, will be randomized. The player that receives the horoscopes will be made public. Here is a list of all potential horoscopes:
The same player may receive both the fortunate and unfortunate horoscope on the same day phase. Unless otherwise noted, all unfortunate horoscopes last during one specific day/night phase, whereas all fortunate horoscopes do not expire (nor do they have to be used).
One final note, all horoscopes and recipients will be decided on dice rolls that I will perform in the Dead Private Topic. This topic will be made public at the end of the game.
Game Rules
Voting
-
Votes must be in bold, clear context (
Vote: RedCoyote
or VOTE: RedCoyote). This is your power, and we both want it to be counted fairly. Please try to make it so there's no question who you are voting and unvoting. Unvotes are not necessary. There will be no tolerance for vote tricks. Please do not try to play with any technical aspect of this rule. If challenged, I will most likely rule against the player responsible for any voting confusion during the game.
Lynching
-
Once a player is lynched, the game will go into "twilight", and the fate of the town has effectively been sealed for that day phase. The town, as well as the player who has been lynched, is welcome to continue to talk until I officially bring the game into the night phase. The town
must
reach a simple majority before the deadline in order for a lynch to go through. Ties will not be broken by me, no matter which wagon formed first. If the town cannot reach a majority or break a tie before the deadline, the day phase will end without a lynch. This town has the option not to lynch, provided it meets the required simple majority of votes.
Deadlines
-
All deadlines are subject to extension should the need arise. This game is using bankable deadlines. All unused days (rounding off to the nearest day) will be "banked" for the following day phase. The Day 1 deadline is set for 14 days, and all following days will be set at 9 days (before adding any banked time). Every day phase may be extended once either by means of a simple majority of players or by my discretion. By contrast, every night phase has a firm 72 hour, or three day, deadline.
Private Topics
-
All private topics associated with this game will be made public at the game's conclusion. Do not say anything in a private topic that you would not wish to be said publicly. A moderator private topic containing dice rolls for role distribution will also be made public at the game's conclusion.
Absence, Prods, and Replacements
-
If you are unable to post for a period of longer than 72 hours, please inform me by PM or make it clear in the game thread. All players have a right to know whether or not a player is absent, and any player who informs me of a future absence will be noted as such. Prods will take place at the request of the players in the game as well as at my discretion. If a player receives a prod, they have exactly 24 hours from the time of that prod to show activity before a request for a replacement will be made. At that point, whoever claims the player slot will become the person playing the game.
Night Actions
-
I will accept any and all actions submitted to me pre-night phase. A night action must be submitted to me via private message or in a private topic that the player has access to, depending on the circumstances. If no night action is submitted to me before the end of the night phase, the player is assumed to have slept through the night, and no action will take place. Standard active night action orders are as follows: Roleblocks > Protections > Conversions > Manipulations > Shots > Investigations
Prohibitions
-
To help ensure a fair, balanced, and fun game, it is prohibited to talk to fellow players or scummers about the game outside of this thread unless you are given specific instructions on how to do so. All players who have been lynched, killed, or otherwise removed from the game are prohibited from making any new posts or talking with any of the living players about the game until the game has been declared over. Respecting tradition, "Bah!" posts are tolerated, but you must respect the boundaries of the game. No player is allowed to post anything game related in their post-death post, so please use common sense when and if you decide to make one. It is prohibited to quote or paraphrase any Mod PMs for any purpose other than to claim or explain one's powers. It is prohibited to use invisible text, small text, encrypted text, or to otherwise edit your post in anyway. It is strongly discouraged (but not prohibited) to use the color
red
in order to make sure there are no quarrels over what is and isn't an edit that I have made. I will only be using the color
red
in edits. Any form of trolling, misbehavior, or poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated and is hereby prohibited.
Questions and Concerns
-
Do not hesitate in asking me for assistance in understanding any aspect of this game. If anyone spots any mistakes I may have made, please send me a PM. You may expect a response within a maximum of 48 hours. If there is anything else you feel I have not covered, or have not covered adequately, please point it out to me.
Thank you
-
There is no official back-up Moderator for this game. Thanks to Cruciare, Vi, Hoopla, and zoraster, as I've stolen general moderation ideas from them to (hopefully) make my games more enjoyable and efficient. Thanks to everyone for signing up, and I hope everyone has a good time.
Townie PM
-
This is an example Townie role PM. There is at least one Townie in this game.
As a Townie, you have no specific abilities during the night. During the day, you are given one vote that you may use toward lynching a specific player, or choosing not to lynch.
You win if the town eliminates all opposing factions.
Please reply to this PM indicating that you have received your role, understand it, and are ready to play!
EDIT (6/29/15): Added an example role PM.

Reputed to be the "most powerful" sign of the zodiac, Scorpios lead fate filled lives and have intense and dramatic personal relationships. Even as children Scorpios are often found to be wise beyond their years. Many astrologers call this the sign of the "oldest souls". Old and wise beyond the average, Scorpios often know all the answers, except sometimes; they too often have difficulty finding what they need to develop their own happiness.

Mysterious and alluring individuals, most Pisces are extremely talented, but even though they are gifted in many ways, they still manage to spend most of their lives battling "confusing" conditions. Pisces is the sign symbolised by the image of two fish. Their symbol depicts one fish heading upward, the other pulling downward. This mirrors how Pisceans are frequently torn between two pathways in life, or actually do live two very different existences at the same time.

Aries are fire signs and those born under this element are regarded in astrology as adventurous, active and outgoing. It won't matter where you go or how remote or unusual it is - from the Outback to the Antarctic - you can be sure that an Aries has been there before you (or at the very least you will meet one along the way!) Aries is a uniquely naive sign. Although they are independent, outgoing and assertive they are also surprisingly trusting, often innocently walking into the lion's den at times. No matter what upheaval, challenge or triumph they confront - an Aries has a wonderful ability to bounce back. Their faith in life and the future remains untouched by hardship. Their gift is that they are always children at heart and the world is always a magical place for them. Many famous sports people are born under this sign. Aries is regarded as the most physical sign and because of its Mar's rulership; it is also one of the most highly charged masculine energy signs in astrology. No wonder women born under Aries are forceful, dynamic and aggressive, and as a result these Aries women frequently find themselves with dilemmas surrounding their romantic relationships. For them, a man has to be a 'real man' to deal with an Aries woman, otherwise she intimidates him. And conversely for the Aries male, a woman has to be a real woman to deal with him, because he is looking for many balancing component traits (his true feminine side) in his partner. She has to run the gamut in his support system, from the Aries man's best friend, true companion, through to his muse, and yet she must never ever answer him back!

Love triumphs over all for this sign, which is ruled by the heart and operates from this dimension too. Leo's are born fortunate. Charismatic and positive-thinking they attract not only an abundance of friends and opportunities, but manage to survive life's stormy times with style and good humour. Once a Lion is committed to a relationship, they are totally devoted and faithful. Should their heart or trust be broken they never forgive or forget. When a relationship breaks down (even a long standing one) they can disappear into the sunset without a backward look. Leos can cut ties, and leave others heartbroken, but usually there is a good reason why they have broken a tryst. For a Leo, when a relationship is over, really over, it is over for good.

Ruled by the benefic planet Jupiter, Sagittarians possess a natural exuberance, sense of adventure and love of life that makes them one of the most optimistic zodiac signs of all. Like their astrological symbol - the Archer - Sagittarians are renowned for aiming their sights towards whatever it is they find alluring - a love partner, dream job, vacation - and making it their own. They believe that anything is possible - and because of this belief system, Sagittarians are adept at seeking out their very own pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But sometimes trying to tie down these free-spirited individuals is frustrating for those around them. Sagittarians are happiest on the move - exploring new cultures and ideas and many are attracted to occupations related to travel, the media, outdoor work and philosophical pursuits. In love, their catch-cry is "don't fence me in". But once they find a partner who understands their need to retain their own sense of self and identity, Sagittarians can be the most big-hearted, generous and fun-loving companions of all.

Every adolescent Libran's fantasy is to find the Prince or Princess of their dreams. As their lives unfold, the experiences, false starts, dramas, broken hearts and disillusionment they encounter seeking this personal Holy Grail, often shapes their futures in the most extra-ordinary manner. Love and love-lost makes a big difference to the Libran although their often happy-go-lucky appearance against all kinds of odds may not reveal this as fact. Librans can switch off from the world around then and during these periods much more occurs on the deep innermost levels of the Libran's psyche, than their closest companions imagine. Many Librans after establishing a lifestyle that somehow falls short of their childhood dreams, manage to conjure up a most independent life and keep up an image of being dedicated to a "close relationship". They can escape into obscure role playing - and often this makes them extremely successful business people. When it comes to romance and love, Librans can be difficult to fathom yet in business many Librans discover they can not only be creative, but it provides an opportunity to express the more diverse sides to their personalities. Their charm can win jobs and provides powerful friends. But in both work and play, looking for peace and harmony, Librans often say "yes" when they should be saying "no".

Virgos are often put down badly by many astrologers and written up as being fussy and narrow-minded. But when a Virgo shines, there is practically no sign to match their inner light. An in-tune Virgo is a treat to meet. When a Virgo is confident within themselves they are the most successful, structured and creative of all the signs. Many Virgos can be found working in the "service to others" industries, ranging from welfare work, doctors, school-teachers through to practising natural forms of healing like massage, herbal remedies etc. One of the most magical characteristics of the Virgo is no matter how many times life or romance turns sour on them, they still manage to maintain faith in others, refusing to become cynical. There is ingenuity around this sign, a kind-heartedness, which unfortunately is sometimes played upon by others for their advantage. Virgos can often become victims of relationship power-games, where they are mistreated.

Those born under the sign of Cancer, ruled by the mysterious Moon, are one of the zodiac's enigmas. It is fair to say that most Cancers are a bundle of contradictions. Compassionate and caring with friends, family and lovers, yet they can cut to the bone with their jealous remarks and ever-changing moods. Endearingly eccentric on one hand, and on the other, insecure about how others see them. Like their astrological symbol - the Crab - Cancers can appear hard and insensitive on the outside. However, for those of us who know and love a "Moon Child", we understand that deep below lies a softness and sensitivity that makes them so very special. Just as the Moon goes through many changes as it moves from its new to full phases, Cancers too go through many new and full phases of experience. Life doesn't stand still for this sign, even if they remain in one place, because they live so much in their internal oceans of emotions. Their link with the Moon often makes it impossible for them to operate on an even keel from day to day. Up and down like the proverbial yo-yo, most Cancerians feel one way one minute, then sometimes totally different the next. But this characteristic is part of their charm.

Special note for Aquarians: At the Dawn of the Age of Aquarius, at this time, ready or not, your sign is regarded as the zodiac's leader. You are the trendsetter for the future and because of this high responsibility, many under born your sign will be undergoing at this time, the pressure of personal change (particularly in your values and what makes you content and happy). Yours has always been a philanthropic sign. Now more than ever these qualities will be highlighted. Those born under the sign of Aquarius not only march to a different drummer, they make up new music as they go along. They are 'mind oriented' individuals, whose thoughts never stop tick-tocking over. Because of their high focus on intellectual exploration, many inventors, eccentrics and highly original trailblazers are born under this sign. Their intense ability to live on many mental levels, holds both pain and pleasure for Aquarians. For example, in the American Hall of Fame there are more Aquarians than any other sign, yet statistics reveal that in mental institutions there are more Aquarians than any other sign too. Many extremes can surround this sign and these extremes can take them to both heaven and hell.

Underneath their cool, calm and collected exterior, Taureans differ greatly from all the other signs of the zodiac. Taureans manage to discreetly stay apart from the crowd, even though they have a well-earned reputation for being socialisers. They will let others get close, but only so close as they want them. Some claim that trying to get your point across to a Taurean, should they not want to hear you, is rather similar to talking to the trees - they simply won't budge. And, there is no such thing as an open-book Taurean. Their feelings, fears and desires often run far deeper than anyone around them would guess. Like the butterfly that chooses to remain hidden in its cocoon until it is ready and prepared to emerge, so the true Taurean spirit remains hidden behind a veneer of day-to-day activities. That's why Taureans are sometimes regarded as snobby, withdrawn, boring, or even sulky. The truth is, when Taureans manage to operate very adequately on their own form of automatic pilot, they can switch off from the world around them very efficiently. And when they do switch off, they are actually gathering in their inner reserves to deal with the outside pressures. This sign is also very closely connected to 'feeling good'. Most Taureans like their creature comforts and hate change because it takes them out of their automatic pilot condition of separating themselves from the world around them.

In ancient Greek mythology, Gemini's ruler - Mercury, was the light-footed messenger of the gods who darted back and forth across the heavens delivering news - which might explain why those born under the sign of the 'Twins' are always on the move; thirsty for knowledge and new experiences. Terminally curious and sometimes even mischievous, Geminis are multi-faceted souls who enjoy knowing a little bit of everything but generally not too much about one particular subject. It's just that variety is the spice of their lives! In Astrology, Geminis have also gained the reputation of being the incessant talkers of the zodiac. Those Twins that don't have the 'gift of the gab' are usually talented writers or have a special interest in foreign languages. In love, they look for a partner who can keep up with them mentally and physically! And, to quote Oscar Wilde, "there's one thing worse than people talking about you, that's people not talking about you." Whether Geminis like it or not, people are usually "talking about them". Together with Scorpio and Virgos, they are a sign that is often discussed, dissected and sometimes even put down by the other signs of the zodiac. Sometimes this is a subtle form of jealousy by others, because Geminis do lead very unique and unusual lives. The Gemini personality can appear mysterious or detached to others and therefore they are often misunderstood and unappreciated for the talents they offer to the world at large.

The sign of the high roller, Capricorn is regarded as the zodiac's top, but also quiet, life and business achievers. But, there are two very different types of Capricorns. The first is represented by the mountain goat, always climbing higher and higher; never content until reaching the top. The second is the garden goat, with little adventurous spirit or ambition-happy to remain within a small domain, refusing to budge unless it is pushed. Either type of Capricorn, however, is patient and persevering. They reach their goals because they know the longest journey commences with a single step and that the first step is always the most difficult. The one thing a Capricorn must always try to do is balance work with play; otherwise they can become too one-sided and work can replace true personal emotional fulfilment. Continually climbing the eternal mountain of success, Capricornians rise to the occasion when faced with a new task or deadline. Even if something comes to a grinding halt, their ambition to reach the ultimate keeps them moving forever onwards and upwards (prompted by the strict influence of ruling planet Saturn). Although conservative and cautious, Goats are willing to try unusual approaches on their road to success in business or in love. Romantically, they desire a permanent relationship with someone who'll give them the affection they crave (and often neglect to give themselves!)

Aries is supposed to be constantly starting new things and taking risks -- that's how they develop courage, find out who they are and discover their inner Warrior. As they get older, Rams are more likely to settle down and stick with a plan -- but to stay youthful and energized, they still sometimes need to play the fool and leap into the unknown.

: The Twins confound you with their multiple personalities and constantly changing version of "the truth."
Source
: The most inquisitive sign of the zodiac, Gemini's function is to explore different ways of thinking and being in the world. Ruled by mercurial Mercury, these chameleons can adapt to any situation and connect with anyone, no matter how different from themselves. They offer a variety of perspectives, recognizing that "the truth" depends on where you're standing.

The emotional realm is often misunderstood and undervalued, but the Crab is charged with the important job of feeling it all -- the highs, lows and everything in-between.

It's true that they can sometimes get stuck in wallowing, but they need to be feeling deeply -- so pass the tissues and accept their waves of emotion -- it's sure to change soon!

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Stereotype
: Will they ever make up their minds? Wishy-washy Libras drive you crazy with their inability to commit.
Source
: Libra is represented by the Scales -- they're here to weigh all the options and make choices that result in maximum balance, harmony and justice. This takes time! Of course, there's a point when Libra needs to commit to a course of action -- and most of them get there, eventually -- but aren't you glad that someone is considering all the points of view and potential impact on everyone involved? You know that when they do finally commit, they're likely to stick with their decision.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Stereotype
: They're too intense! Can't they just take a chill pill and lighten up?
Source
: As the sign associated with sex, death and the Underworld, Scorpio is here to delve beneath the surface of life, discover what is hidden and bring to light what the other signs are too afraid to acknowledge. The purpose of all that intensity is transformation at the deepest level. They might need a reminder to look on the bright side from time to time, but if you want superficiality and frivolity, look to another sign!

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Stereotype
: The flighty Archer is ever-ready to jump on the next plane to anywhere if things get too "heavy."
Source
: Sagittarius is the adventurer of the zodiac, here to expand beyond limits and borders and explore unknown territory. Travel equals freedom in the mind of many a Sag. Sometimes they forget that they're responsible for creating a sense of freedom from within and can use a reminder that "wherever you go, there you are." As long as they're finding some way to indulge their adventurous spirit, there are plenty of Archers who settle down and stay in one place or with one partner.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Stereotype
: Ruthlessly ambitious social climbers, Capricorns will step on anyone who gets in the way of their ascent to the top.
Source
: Instead of the Mountain Goat, Capricorn was originally represented by the Sea Goat -- with the front body of a goat and the tail of a fish. Water represents consciousness and mysticism, signaling that, contrary to popular stereotypes, Capricorn is actually a deeply spiritual sign -- or at least has the potential to be. Although some Goats seem to be only concerned about getting to the top, they do have a profound inner life, and many devote themselves to the mystical path, especially later in life.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Stereotype
: Cold, detached and hyper-rational, these walking computers are devoid of human emotions.
Source
: Aquarius is the sign of the humanitarian, but oddly is often accused of not liking other humans -- or of not being human themselves. Like all Air signs, Water-Bearers do tend to rationalize their feelings and are generally uncomfortable with messy emotional displays. But that doesn't mean they don't feel deeply or that they're not sensitive to other people's feelings. Just observe an Aquarian mom with her kids, and you'll definitely see the other, more emotive, side of this stereotype.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Stereotype
: The Fish is escapist and spaced-out -- and often found downing one too many at the local bar.
Source
: Pisces is on assignment to transcend everyday reality -- their job is to communicate with the imagination and unconscious and report back what they've discovered. Often when they appear not to be doing anything "useful," they're actually serving their higher purpose. Because of their sensitivity to others' thoughts and emotions, they need lots of rest and retreat time. Consciously traveling to parallel universes -- with a spiritual practice or creative outlet -- helps them avoid falling into escapist habits.

Metal Sonic pointed out a mistake I made with the horoscopes. Unless otherwise noted, all unfortunate horoscopes take effect on the day
and
night following their reception. I think the integrity of the game is still preserved, however. I need to PM some players to confirm some things before I officially start the day. Consider the game suspended for the time being until I can sort it out.
Note: All horoscopes are posted in the Dead Private Topic.
To start with the elephant in the room, there were two large errors made by me as it pertains to the horoscopes. First, as Metal Sonic rightly pointed out, he was supposed to be jailed on N3. He already had a role block from earlier in the game and asked to use it on massive during N3. I told him that it would be done. Second, the unfortunate horoscope that massive received on D4/N4 was the Opposite Alignment Empowered horoscope. I told him, incorrectly, that that precluded him from submitting a kill on N3. So when the day started, in my mind both of those things were keeping massive from killing. That was not the case, of course. My mind was on cruise control and these things didn't even register. After Metal Sonic pointed out his jailing, I paused the game in an effort to figure out what could be done to salvage the game. Although there were small possibilities that could've pointed out had players had time to talk about it (e.g. the game was not all VTs like the previous one, Bert had given the scumteam an additional power), I thought the game was pretty much completely screwed sans one possibility. If massive were to deliberately no kill on N3, then perhaps that could cause real problems for Metal Sonic's story.
I didn't tell massive to do this or even bring it up, of course. That's not my place as a mod to do that. What I did tell him was that I made a big mod error and that I would stop the game because of it. He nobly elected to press on in spite of the odds and the rest is, well, what you saw of D4.
As far as the game itself goes, the scum MVP belongs to massive. I think both players struggled for any real townread in this town. One thing about this town, and I pointed out in the dead topic, was that there was just not much townreading going on in general. People were not forming many cliques. Players like Ricastle, elusive and Mainez were constantly being thrown out there as suspects, only to be talked back down and another player talked up. It was a strange way of working together that ultimately worked in the end, especially when Sal came in to bring a lot of focus to the game.
For the town MVP, despite having a very rocky start, I'm going with elusive. I think she was the only player to consistently call out both of the scumteam members. She was sidetracked along the way (Ricastle especially was a stumbling block for her, among others) with emotions and momentum going in different directions, but she wasn't sidetracked by the Nacho lynch and, without her, I think massive would've caught much, much less flak than he did throughout the game. I think she kept him in check a lot of times, sometimes as the only person doing so, and kept massive from ever getting too comfortable in his slot. That said, Tammy, MS and Sal also get some credit for their roles in keeping the town in line at various spots, too.

Oh, and, I left this out of the above, but I am so, so sorry to everyone for that. Especially massive and Mainez. I don't think y'all had a fair shake because of my screw up. That's the reason for my delay in making these posts. I'm kicking myself because of making such a dumb error and have no excuse for it.
