Game Rules (Modified from Zorblag, who modified them from Vel-Rahn Koon):

General Gameplay and Etiquette:

1. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it. Mafia members may communicate at night and during the confirmation stage.
3. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
4. Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).
5. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
6. As a general rule you should aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.

Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:

1. A simple majority of all living members must agree on one person for a lynch to occur
2. Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone’s fate.
3. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
4. Please submit votes as:

Vote: PlayerName.

Votes will NOT be counted if they are not bold! Obvious abbreviations or nicknames will be counted so long as they are unambiguous.

5. Please submit vote revocations as either Unvote: PlayerName or Unvote. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
6. You may Vote: No Lynch - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a lynch.
7. This game will have 3 week deadlines. At deadline, the player (or No Lynch) with the most votes will be lynched. In the case of a tie, the tie breaker will be the player who has the first active vote on them. Should there be no active votes at deadline no one will be lynched.
8. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
9.

Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post. This means that you do not even get a “Bah” post. The dead in this game are silent.

10. I will try to post vote counts once per day or once per page, whichever comes first.

Miscellaneous/Mechanics:

1.

Indigo

text is reserved for the Mod. No invisible/small text is allowed, nor is cryptography.
2. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
3. The Mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
4.

Please bold all requests to the Mod so that they don’t get missed.

5. Prods of missing players will be issued automatically after 72 hours of no activity or upon request after 48 hours of no activity. A prodded player has 48 hours to respond or risks replacement. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to replacement without further notice.
6. Rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill.
7.

If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread.

Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.

The Golden Rule:

Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun! Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game.

[KittyMo]

The F11 setup is the current game format used in Newbie games. To prevent the development of game-breaking strategies, these Newbie Games are Semi-Open, wherein the actual game setup is randomly chosen from one of four possible setups as detailed below:

• 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Sane Cop, 1 Sane Doctor, 5 Townies
  
• 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 7 Townies
  
• 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Cop, 6 Townies
  
• 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Doctor, 6 Townies

If either of the first two setups are in play, and the situation occurs where the Goon is lynched first, the Roleblocker will still be able to submit both night kills and roleblocks (roleblocking is a function of the Roleblocker; night kills are a function of the scum team as a whole).

These are the Role PMs that have potentially been sent to the players:

Mafia-Aligned players:

Mafia

name

(a Mafia Goon) and your partner

name

(who is also a Mafia Goon/Mafia Roleblocker) are part of the local Mafia crime family. Since your plot to quietly overtake the town has failed, you will attempt take it by force by eliminating the others until you outnumber the populace.

• During the day, try to blend in with the normal Townies, and attempt to get someone lynched.
  
• During the NIGHT cycle ONLY, you may talk with your fellow Mafia (via this QuickTopic) and choose another player in the town to kill that night. One of you must send me a PM with your choice of who to kill. You should copy your partner on the PM so they know the kill was submitted.
  
• You may communicate privately with your fellow Mafia up until the game thread is opened. Once the game begins, all outside communication must cease until the night cycle.
  
• You win when the number of Mafia equals or exceeds the number of remaining Town players, whether you survive to the end or not.

• During the day, try to blend in with the normal Townies, and attempt to get someone lynched.
  
• As a Roleblocker, you have the ability to distract any player throughout the night, effectively negating their night ability, if they have one.
  
• Send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to block. If they have a Night action, it will have no effect. You will not be informed as to whether your roleblock worked or not.
  
• During the NIGHT cycle ONLY, you may talk with your fellow Mafia (via this QuickTopic) and choose another player in the town to kill that night. One of you must send me a PM with your choice of who to kill. You should copy your partner on the PM so they know the kill was submitted.

• You win when the number of Mafia equals or exceeds the number of remaining Town players, whether you survive to the end or not.

Town-Aligned players:

Vanilla Townie:

You are a normal townsperson, trying to make a living and survive this insanity.

• You have no abilities at Night other than getting a good night's rest.
  
• Although you do not have any special abilities, your voice and vote are powerful weapons in their own right. Use them to your best advantage!
  
• At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
  
• You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

Cop:

You are the local law enforcement, and can tell the good guys from the bad.

• Each NIGHT, you may send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to investigate.
  
• The Moderator will inform you as to that person’s guilt or innocence.
  
• At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
  
• In a Newbie game, you will always get a correct result (no sanity issues).
  
• You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

Doctor:

You are the local physician, and can protect people from harm.

• Each NIGHT, you may send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to protect.
  
• If someone attempts to kill that player during the Night, they will be spared.
  
• You may not protect yourself.
  
• At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
  
• In a Newbie game, your protection target will always live through the night (no quacks).
  
• You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

Now that all Role PMs have been sent out, the thread is open for /confirmations.

Hello everyone!

I'm Andrius, resident SE. This is my first time playing as SE. It basically means that I know how to play and I'm willing to play in the Newbie games. (I'm here to hone my scumhunting skills.) If you have questions on how to play, or questions at all you can ask me (and willows_weep, the other SE), but the IC, juilianvonwolfe is the teacher-role in this game. (Don't forget the mod too.)

I've never played with any of you before, so this should be good.

[mothrax]

/confirm
first game on mafiascum, though I have played and modded several games on another forum, though this seems a bit different. Hope to have fun!

[Andrius]

You will have fun.

[KnightofZero]

Hello all.

[KittyMo]

Rule 2-10 has been added, just fyi.

[julienvonwolfe]

Howdy all! IC here. I'll make a bigger post when day one starts.

[Andrius]

FoS: Tangion

For not confirming yet.

And holy hell, willows_weep has been here since 2003. O_O

[drmyshottyizsik]

FoS: Tangion please

[KittyMo]

Since you're all here and waiting, I'll go ahead and start the game. If Tangion doesn't confirm within 24 hours, I'll nab a replacement.

[9] Not Voting - (Andrius, ChosenSoul, drmyshottizsik, julienvonwolfe, jntp, KnightofZero, mothrax, Tangion, willows_weep)

[Andrius]

Vote: Tangion

He's obviously stalling so he can have more time in the scum QT to plan with his scumbuddy.

[Andrius]

And its really cool having a bunch of 1st-gamers.
My first game I hammered a townie D1, and was lynched D2. I was town. We lost. But my lynch prevented the Doc from getting lynched, so it was a good death.

[ChosenSoul]

I've never actually played Mafia online, but I've played it alot with my friends during Summer Camp, and the last summer camp I was the first one killed 3 times in a row.

Also, VOTE: jntp, just because the smiley he used reminds me of evil (the > look like horns).

[KnightofZero]

Since we seem to be in random vote stage, I'll VOTE: drmyshottyizsik, since I don't really know how to pronounce your username. o_O

[Andrius]

Since we seem to be in random vote stage, I'll VOTE: drmyshottyizsik, since I don't really know how to pronounce your username. o_O

Yeah. Most games, even the larger ones start with a RVS stage (Random Voting Stage) to start discussion, since there's not much to go by.

I'm thinking you say his name: Doctor Mr Shotty is Sick.

Sry about that I tried to confirm before but I'm still learning to use my blackberry

I was thinking Dreamy Shotty is Sick, but I think yours is better.

[KnightofZero]

EBWOP: I think you mean Doctor My* Shotty is Sick

Now, I think about it, it could be Doctor, my shawty* is sick... HMM... idk.
