This is mafia played as though on a cellphone. txting is all you can do, but txting can be enough.

All players have a posting restriction:

-- Posts have to be 160 characters or less (including quotes & Votes).
-- Posts longer than 160 characters WILL BE TRUNCATED by the Mod.

Other things:

-- Color posting is acceptable, and even encouraged.
-- Emoticons are NOT ALLOWED. No, you can't type a semicolon followed by a right paren. I'll delete it. Don't tempt me.
-- My standard rules will be in effect EXCEPT all Days will have two-week deadlines, Nights will have 48 hour deadlines.

Game over

Alive (7/12):

2.
3.
5.
7.
11.
12.

( = confirmed; * = prodded)

Dead (5/12):

1) This is a game. HAVE FUN.
2) I, as Your Moderator, have final say in everything. If I make a mistake, please send me a PM to discuss it. Votecount errors can be pointed out in the thread.
3) Anything in the thread that should draw my attention should be bolded, thus:
4) You may not talk about this game outside of this thread; exceptions are only when your Role PM allows it.
5) is my color. Do not use it, under penalty of Impersonating The Mod (which is modkillable; don't make me do it).
6) Posting in other colors is allowed, and in fact encouraged. I like colorful games.
7) Do not quote your Role PM or any other PM from Me. Likewise, do not quote from any outside communication.
8) Do not post in invisible text or tiny text. If I have to "Quote" your post to be able to read what you made small, I will Not Be Happy.
9) I will post votecounts no more often than once per page, or once per real-life day, whichever is less. If there's been a burst of activity, and I've not posted a votecount, feel free to send me a PM.
10) If you somehow have the ability to edit your post, do not. I will modkill you. Dead. Worse than Dead. Your faction will suffer. I am Evil when crossed. Be warned.
10a) Flavor is flavor. Parts is parts. Nothing in the flavor reflects Actual Game Mechanics. You are free to ignore the flavor (except, of course, that you'll hurt my feelings; I expect to spend a good deal of time creating flavor, and I think you should at least read it. However, it has no bearing on the game. At all.)
11) I will allow hydra accounts into the game; however, I must know who the heads are. PM me.



12) I do not (always) automagically prod players. If you would like a prod sent, ask in-thread. Prods will be sent, on request of at least two living players, after 48 hours of inactivity. Weekends (Saturday & Sunday) are counted as 24 hours.
13) If you are prodded: You must respond in-thread within 36 hours or you will be replaced. If you require a second prod, you will only have 24 hours to respond before a replacement is searched for. If you require a third prod, you are subject to replacement.
14) If you are one of those annoying players that INSISTS ON USING CAPSLOCK, you have automatically lost a brownie point. No, I'm not telling you what will happen, as it completely depends on my mood and exactly how annoying you are. (There will be no modkills strictly for using capslock. But don't push it.)
15) MUST be and MUST be at the beginning of the line that they are on (flush left, if that makes it clearer).
16) Notwithstanding Rule #14, if I think it's a Vote, it's a Vote. Be very clear of your intentions.



17) Days will have a two week deadline; extensions will rarely be granted, and then only in extenuating circumstances.
18) If activity severely lags, I may or may not institute a shorter Day deadline. You will have at least 72 hours notice should this happen.
19) Night deadlines will be at least 48 hours. Do not ask for a shorter (or longer) night phase.



20) No-lynch requires a simple majority.
21) If the required number of votes is not reached by deadline, there will be NO LYNCH.
22) Lynching requires a true majority of votes from the living players. Every votecount will have the number alive and the number required to lynch.
23) Once a lynch has been reached and it is Twilight, everyone may talk until I post the death scene and lock the thread.
24) If you are night-killed, you are allowed one "Bah!"-type post. No game-relevant content allowed.



25) I reserve the right to modify these rules if necessary. Any rule changes during the course of the game will be clearly announced in the thread.
26) Do not tempt The Mod. Do not annoy The Mod. Do not get The Mod wet, nor feed The Mod after midnight.
27) Do not admit to not having read The Rules. I get very, very upset about this. The rules are here for a reason. Read them, follow them, know them.
28) Remember to have fun. After all, that's why we're here, isn't it?



29) This is mafia played as though on a cellphone. txting is all you can do, but txting can be enough.
30) Posts have to be 160 characters or less (including quotes & Votes). You will probably be better off linking rather than quoting; YMMV.
31) Posts longer than 160 characters WILL BE TRUNCATED by the Mod.
32) Emoticons are NOT ALLOWED. No, you can't type a semicolon followed by a right paren. I'll delete it. Don't tempt me.
33) There is no limit to the number of posts that you may make. Your only limit is the number of characters
34) This is not a rule but a helpful tool for counting characters: http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/scr ... ount.shtml
-- additionally, if you have a Twitter account, you may type into your blank tweet box until you reach -20 (that's 160 characters). (I find that simpler than the previous link. YMMV.)

, for being the only one I've played with.

for being someone I haven't played with. And because people sometimes call me "hero", so obviously antihero must be anti-town.

belch philosophy
Task, u plyd w me b4

4being in anothr gme w/ me atm.

(I usually text in full speech with full punctuation and grammar anyway. Must resist urges...!)

; hasn't posted yet, must be lurking. I would prefer if noone used annoying txt abbreviations and shorthands. Preciate it.

Whoopsie



Korts, I can't promise to abide by that request but I'll try <3

3 Housekeeping points:

1.

2.

3. @players: Since there is no restriction on double

posting, there's no excuse to not express complete thoughts.

But for the love of the gods, please don't spam a full page. Succinctness is pro-town anyways.

I agree, Herodotus. Double or tripleposting is acceptable but no further than that please.

just cuz i can (must resist urge to use smileys)

VOTE: kunkstar7
My access will often be poor at weekends, including this one.

VOTE: RayFrost

..for having a long, distinguished history.

Tasky forgot Mini 1003.

I spell everything out in my real-life text messages, too.

VOTE: Crywolf

I think you gave me a scum role in that game just to punish me.

Punish you for what, anti?

Precisely, I didn't do anything to you.

You must be a sadist, hence the vote.

mothrax that isn't a game

Equinox, you are right. your name sound familiar

no abbreviations that make reading difficult, please

VOTE: Antihero

Antihero wrote:You must be a sadist, hence the vote.

But sadism doesn't equal scumminess. Your case is flawed.

I think that's a silly thing to say Antihero. If anything i'm a masochist for signing up for a mafia game.

Then that would make you a Sado-masochist?

Referencing ongoing game + use of txtspk to convey point short enough to fit = not likely to be useful protown player. Agree/dis?
