Welcome to The Kingdom of Loathing, where the Seaside Town is the perfect place to drink, adventure, relax and drink.
Lately, though, things have been... different. Usually, nobody would die in this Kingdom. People would just be satisfied with beating each other senseless. However, that seems to no longer be the case. At least, not under the rule of the penguin mafia.
Yes, the penguin mafia has finally succeeded in taking over the Kingdom. They're everywhere! The horror. It started with only a few, but soon enough they took over Seaside Town. It wasn't long after that that they managed to gain control over the rest of the Kingdom. There were close to 10000000000 of them. Or maybe it was 1000000000? Penguins are bad at census-taking.
Anyway, where was I? Oh yes. It turns out that Seaside Town was caught in yet another time warp. It conveniently took you all the way back to before the penguins had taken over the Kingdom. There's only a few of them now, and you know who they are! They're... was it Joe? Steve? Samwise Gamgee? Aww, it looks like in your haste to not die in the time warp, you forgot to memorize who they were.
Yes, all 100000000000 of them.
Oh well.
Hopefully, if you play your cards right, you can still change the future, errr, I mean present, of the Kingdom! An adventurer is you!

Don't be a jerk. This is rule #1 in every game, since games are supposed to be fun, and games are not fun when someone is being a jerk.
Town players are not allowed to communicate outside the thread at any time. Mafia players may communicate with each other outside the thread during the pregame and night phases, but not during the day.
Do not edit posts. Most of you cannot edit posts anyway, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Once you are dead, you're dead. Like, completely devoid of life. And people who are completely devoid of life may not post in the thread, unless they're saying "bah" or something equivalent.
You may not quote any private communication with me. You're not even allowed to claim the time at which I sent you a PM.
Do not post in small font, white text, spoiler tags, or any other form of hidden message (including encryption). You may not post in any language other than English.
Play to win, etc.
Do not reference ongoing games. You may reference games once they are completed, but not before.
is the colour I'll use to post vote counts, edit things into other people's posts, etc. Do not impersonate me. DTMaster will use for his modding. Please don't impersonate him, either, even though it would probably be hilarious.
If you have a question or concern, or if you think that I may have made an error, do not hesitate to ask in-topic or by pm. Be sure to bold requests directed at me so that I see them.
If you choose to violate a rule, I will punish you. That might mean a modkill, which is the ending of your life by moi. I'll reveal your role in-topic, then change it to Neutral Survivor so that you automatically lose. If you are town, the day will end, but if you are mafia, the day will continue. I don't like having to modkill people, so try not to break the rules. I'm also pretty understanding, so don't freak out if you accidentally break a rule.


Votes must be bolded. For example, You may unvote by typing Some mods require you to unvote before changing your vote, but I am a kind mod, and as a kind mod, I do not require you to unvote before changing your vote.
I'll try to post vote counts at the top of every page or once per day, whichever is more often. I'll post at least one vote count per day, though.
Once a lynching majority has been reached, the game will go into twilight. You may continue to talk during twilight until I get to locking the thread. Once I lock the thread, the game will go into the night phase.
You may also vote for no lynch to happen on that day by typing A no-lynch requires a simple majority vote to go through (50%).
Some mods require only half a majority to lynch at deadline, but I am a cruel mod, and as a cruel mod, I still require a full majority to reach a lynch at deadline.
If a majority has not been reached by the deadline, a no-lynch will occur, and the game will go into night. I don't care if your hammer vote came one minute after deadline, it doesn't count. If you don't like it, don't wait until the last minute.
Each day will have strict three-week deadlines. Extensions will be given only in extreme circumstances, but always feel free to ask.


Night lasts for 48 hours, but might be extended if I need a replacement.


If a player fails to post for 72 consecutive hours, he will be prodded. If that player does not post for another 48 hours after he's been prodded, he'll be replaced.
Prods are available upon request. I'll still issue an official prod at the 72 hour mark, though.
If you are going away, or if you have limited access to the site, notify me by PM or in-topic so that I know not to prod or replace you. If you're going to be V/LA over the night phase and have a night action, you may send in your action early.
This is a theme game, and there is at least one abnormal role. There will be no bastard modding, however.

A role name means you are town.
A role name means you are mafia.
A role name means you are a third-party.
This will also be how alignment is revealed on death.

All factions share the same win condition:

Universal Win Condition wrote:You win when all other factions are eliminated and at least one person of your faction is alive, or when nothing can prevent the same from happening.

A ability is a passive ability. It is not usable and is instead used automatically every night. Passive abilities cannot be blocked.
An ability is an active ability. It is usable. You may only use one active ability per night. Active abilities may be blocked.
An ability is a factional ability. It is usable. There is no limit to the number of factional abilities you may use each night. Factional abilities may be blocked.

Nobody has been given a conventional role name (cop, for example). A conventional role name will be revealed on death, but abilities will not.

first post!

for being a chronic flaker / replacement bait.

Alright, let's roll

Helllo!

Hello all.

I'm going to take a leaf out of TheFonz's book and propse an unofficial contract by which we should all abide.

Not to claim vanilla unless at L-1, during a massclaim, or your claim can actively affect someone else's (e.g. if you have been tracked to someone).

Not to self-vote, barring the 2:1:1 endgame possibility.

Not to lie about our roles.

All above enforced by the town as a whole, by threat of a lynch.

Please state which points you agree with, and if you disagree with any, please say why.

Because I can.

Also what the fuck, Richard. It's the first hours of d-1. I think most people here know how to play mafia, dammit.

-1 to all points.

Let's do EET! >3



...because its hunting season? o.0

Do you have any remotely intelligent reason for going against it? It's a pretty solid deal.

First I'm more than willing to agree to all three of your points Rich.

Mr. Chaos wrote: Also what the fuck, Richard. It's the first hours of d-1. I think most people here know how to play mafia, dammit

First have you looked carefully at the player list? We have several who have no other MS site games and thus assuming that their Mafia 'education' is the same is just plain foolish.

Second when would be a better time to propose that sort of thing?

I'm not debating whether or not its a solid idea, it just feels a bit unnecessary. Why not just left the players play how they want to?

That and point three is kinda dumb, considering a Mafia will usually lie about their role to earn town cred. Kinda hard to enforce when you don't actually know about everyone's role from the offset.

erm, yes?

I did some research about the game because I've never played Kingdom of Loathing. Luckily KoL has a huge wiki that details the history of the game. I found one page called the penguin mafia. These are big names in the penguin mafia.

ah

furthermore, I've played plenty of mafia games on another site and usually the first post is generally mafia.

askbob wrote:furthermore, I've played plenty of mafia games on another site and usually the first post is generally mafia.

Actually, usually the first post is "anyone who was there at the moment the topic got unlocked"
That is, completely irrelevant. Where do you get silly stats like that?

Askbob -

Been trolling the KOL Wiki for pointless speculation material? Where are the Penguin Goons, Penguin Psychos, and Penguin Kneecappers?

Uncle Crimbo seems like a stretch for a Mafia role. And you don't think the NS wouldn't be a SK?

If you are going to engage in Theme speculation at least do a better job.

Those are the two main pages, you can read and let me know what you agree/disagree on.

Also we most likely have a mason group (Council of Loathing)
