This game is designed to more realistically replicate the way that Mafia is played in Meat World. Inasmuch, it means that you are only allowed to say one thing at a time (because we only have one mouth). In real life, what you say does not float above your head for easy access by others. It has to be remembered, and often times, what is remembered, is faulty.
In this game, you will each have up to a maximum of ONE post only. You can have as little as zero, but no more than one at any time. You have several ways to communicate, therefore.
If you already have a post, you can edit it. This is normally not allowed in other games, but you are more than welcome to edit your post at any time to reflect what you want it to say.
~For some reason players can not delete their own posts if it is not the newest post in a thread. I'll go ahead and delete all the old posts at the end of the day.
Now on to the actual restriction of what your post may contain.
Your post may contain three things: A Quote box, Some text, and a vote.
If your post contains a quote box, it may contain no more than 200 legitimate words. A quote can not have any quotes inside of it, it can be only one quote box.
The non-quote text of your post, similarly, can not contain more than 200 legitimate words. I say "Legitimate" to avoid players posting 10-page-long summaries and removing all the spaces. Try to make it reasonable.
Deleting your vote from your post is equal to
unvoting
.
It is entirely possible that some players may try to 'save' data that is said in the game off line and then bring it up later to post - it is also possible that a player may edit that post to say what they want. It's up to you to determine what is real and what is fake.
I'm just letting you all know that you have a lot more freedom in what can be said and done in this game, but that with that freedom comes (presumably) a bit more responsibility. If you get caught faking someone else's previous quotes, do not come whining to me if you get lynched for it.
Rule Change!!!!
You may make a new post anytime. Your previous post will be deleted as soon as I see that you've made another post, so make sure that you save anything you want to save. You
may
include content from your previous post in your new post. To avoid a prod, you MUST make a new post every 72 hours. You may never have more than 2 posts at any time.
Be sure to include your vote in your new post if you want it to count. If you do not do so, it will be the equivalent of an unvote.
General:
0.
This is a legitimate Mafia Game that was signed up for in the queue. Do not post to this game if you are not on the player list.
1. Have fun.
2. Play to win. Naming, or even pretending to name, scumbuddies is an infraction of this rule and will result in modkills and an end to the game.
3. No flaming. You don't have to be perfectly nice, but let's not have any personal attacks.
4. No talking about the game outside the game topic unless your role specifically permits you to do so.
5. Do not play this game under more than one account name.
6. Do not post in
Blue
. That's my color, that I'll use for votecounts and answering questions.
7. Don't edit your posts, if you can.
8. If you have any questions about the setup/rules/etc., ask by either posting it in bold, or by PMing me.
9. I'm always right, but not always accurate. If you think I've made a mistake, such as in a vote count, tell me nicely.
Voting/Lynching:
10. To vote for someone, post in the format
Vote: Caboose
. It must be bold.
11. Not having a vote in your post is equivalent to
Unvoting
.
12. If you don't
Unvote
before revoting, I will still count it.
13. The first person to reach a majority of votes will be lynched. If no majority is reached by deadline, a no lynch occurs.
14. You may also
Vote: No Lynch
. If a majority of people vote this way, then no lynch will occur and the night phase will begin.
15. Once you are dead, stop typing.
Not even a "bah" post.
Save it for after the game is over.
16. Each day has a deadline set 2 weeks after the beginning of the day. I reserve the right to extend the deadline as I see fit.
Nights:
17. Nights will last 48 hours. If you don't get your night actions in on time, it will be counted as
No Action
for that night.
Inactivity/Prodding/Replacements:
18. If you expect to be gone for 72 hours or longer, please tell me. Don't leave me hanging.
19. If you don't post on thread for 72 hours, then you will be prodded.
20. If you don't post for 48 hours after I have prodded you, then I will start searching for a replacement for you.
Most of these rules were shamelessly stolen from Crazy.
Most of the text above the rules was shamelessly stolen from Skruffs.
Disclaimer: I will be posting the Quicktopic thread(s) after the game is over. If anybody has a problem with that, please contact me via PM.
