Game rules blatantly stolen from VRK:
Game Rules:
General Gameplay and Etiquette:
- You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
- There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.
- 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.
- Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).
- Any player with a Night action may instead submit a "No Action"
- In order for all players to play at least one game day this game will start with a Day phase. Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
- As a general rule you should aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
- All Newbie games have strict 3-week deadlines.Extensions are given only in extreme circumstances.
- Nights will last 72 hours.
Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:
- A simple majority of all living members must agree on one person for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down).
- Votes must be bolded or they may not be counted (e.g. Vote: Player). Please use theVOTE:andUNVOTE:tags. Do not include extra information inside yourVOTE:tags.
- Vote revocations should be bolded or they may not be counted (e.g. Unvote: PlayerorUnvote). Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
- You may Vote: No Lynch- a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
- Votes/Unvotes that are bolded correctly and are unambiguous (with respect to player nicknames/abbreviations) will count. Attempting to fake a vote will result in a Modkill.
- At deadline, ½ the original number of votes will be required for a lynch. In the case of a tie, the person who first received the required number of votes will be lynched. If this number is not met, a No Lynch will occur. There will be no reduced number of votes in LyLo.
- Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone's fate.
- Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players (except the lynched player) may continue to post.
- Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for a brief "Bah!"-type post.
Miscellaneous/Mechanics:
- RedorPurpletext is reserved for the Mod. No invisible/small/encrypted text is allowed (if I can't read it, don't post it).
- Votecounts will be posted once per page or once per day, whichever is less.
- If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
- 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.
- Please bold all requests to the Mod so that they don't get missed.
- Prods of missing players will be issued upon request or on the 4th day of no activity. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
- If I send a prod and it's not read within a few days, I'll usually start looking for a replacement.
- Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill. Modkills may be accompanied by a change to day/night.
- Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to Mod discretion and will be handled as the Mod sees fit on a case-by-case basis.
- 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.
Helpful Links:
This game uses the F11 setup. Possible roles are Mafioso, Roleblocker, Townie, Doctor, Cop. There are 4 possible setups:
Mafia: 1 Mafioso and 1 Roleblocker, Town: 1 Doctor, 1 Cop, 5 Townies
Mafia: 1 Mafioso and 1 Roleblocker, Town: 7 Townies
Mafia: 2 Mafiosos, Town: 1 Cop, 6 Townies
Mafia: 2 Mafiosos, Town: 1 Doctor, 6 Townies
The exact setup in this instance was randomly determined. Roles were randomly assigned.
These are the Role PMs that have potentially been sent to the players:

- 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 PMwith your choice of who to kill.
- You may communicate privately via QuickTopic with your fellow Mafia up until the game thread is opened (this is called Night 0). 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.

- The Mafia Roleblocker has the ability to distract any player throughout the night, effectively negating their night ability, if they have one.
- The Mafia should send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to block (usually along with the kill). If they have a Night action, it will have no effect. You will not be informed as to whether the roleblock worked or not.
- The Mafia may communicate privately via QuickTopic up until the game thread is opened (this is called Night 0). Once the game begins, all outside communication must cease until the night cycle.

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.
Mod wrote: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.

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.
Confirm in thread, we'll start day 1 once everyone's here.
I hate being clueless and completely wrong sometimes!
Excedrin already gave you the relevant links to the wiki, use it! If you have further questions, just ask and the more experienced players in here will answer you to the best of their knowledge. Son't bother asking about scum tactcics, though, the most positive response you might receive may be that I just ignore you...
