General Rules

• This is a game; have fun, or else!
  
• If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to send me a private message (PM).
  
• Bandwagon to victory.

Flow of the Game

• Everyone is randomly assigned their role, sent their role PM, and confirms they understand it.
  
• The game starts in daytime. Each day, you may vote to lynch someone with [
  vote]elmo[/vote] -> VOTE: elmo. You can
  unvote
  to vote for no-one; you don't need to do that to move your vote. If you want to end the day without lynching anyone, VOTE: no lynch.
  
• I will regularly post a tally of who is voting who. If
  at any time
  a majority (more than half) of the players are voting for the same person, they will be lynched, and night will fall. Unvoting won't change anything.
  
• Each day will have a deadline of 3 weeks. If deadline hits, the day will end with no lynch - learn to compromise, folks. Extensions of one week will only be given in extreme circumstances™, like multiple people needing to be replaced three days before deadline.
  
• The time between the lynching vote and the lynch scene being posted is twilight. You can all talk about anything in twilight.
  
• If I've posted your death scene, you're dead. Don't post anything until the game is declared finished.
  
• At night, the mafia may talk to each other. Anyone with a night action needs to PM me their choice; vanilla townies twiddle their thumbs. If you do not send me a choice by the time I've posted dawn, I'll choose mostly-randomly for you.
  
• Night ends, and the next day dawns.

Major Rules

• Attempts to game the system in some way will be met with nuclear weapons.
  
• Attack arguments, not people.
  
• Unless you are night-talking with your mafia partner, do not discuss this game with
  anyone
  outside this thread!
  
• If a game isn't finished, don't discuss it here.
  
• You may not deliberately lurk, even if it would be good strategy. Please try to post at least every 72 hours, and inform me if you will be away for longer. If you don't, I will prod you; If you don't respond in-thread within 48 hours, I'll replace you.

Spoiler: Miscellaneous Rules

• I do not make mistakes. If you think I have, tell me - gently - and I will modify your reality accordingly.
  
• To get my attention, say e.g.
  Mod: I like kittens!
  
  
• Do not discuss any correspondence from me; I will not comment on anything that isn't public.
  
• With respect to lurkers, my job is to make sure people haven't disappeared, nothing more.
  
• You may request a prod on someone at any time, typically if they haven't posted for 48 hours.
  
• The Mafia may talk before everyone has confirmed.
  
• I will also accept votes in the format [
  b]vote elmo[/b] ->
  vote elmo
  .
  
• I will count anything that looks reasonably unambiguous as a vote.
  
• I strongly advise the mafia to use the created quicktopic for planning in case one of them has to be replaced. This will be made public at the end of the game; don't write anything you're not comfortable with.
  
• I will log any mafia actions in the mafia quicktopic. If a town power role is replaced, they will receive a log of their previous night actions.
  
• You may change your night action as many times as you wish before dawn. I will use the most recent choice.
  
• Either mafia member may submit any action. If there is a conflict, I will use the most recent choice and inform both members of what happened.
  
• When randomising their missed night action, Cops and RoleCops will not investigate someone they have previously investigated. Doctors and Jailkeepers will use their action randomly. The mafia will nightkill someone else randomly.
  
• Don't quote verbatim from your role PM; paraphrasing is okay. There's nothing to be gained here, but it's a very bad idea elsewhere.
  
• Don't post hidden (invisible, tiny, etc) text.
  
• Do not use cryptography requiring a computer.
  
• You are required to read your role PM.

This game is running the 2of4 setup.

Spoiler: The Setup & Role PMs

By the time you read this, Role PMs should be out. If you don't have one, PM me. We will begin when everyone has confirmed; if you don't confirm within 72 hours, you'll be replaced. Again, the mafia may communicate until the dawn of Day 1.

[Elmo]

Two people haven't confirmed and are being replaced. We apologize for the delay; stay tuned.
SkyeLanis replaces liamlolz.
DylanSA replaces gozags77.

[Elmo]

SkyeLanis hasn't confirmed and is being replaced by Madmardigan.
Third time lucky.

[Elmo]

Success! Day 1 dawns!

The

deadline

is Friday 1st June 22:00 UTC, which is in (expired on 2012-06-01 22:00:00).
With 9 alive, it's 5 to lynch.

[Madmardigan]

Hello all. This is my first game of mafia and I'm excited to play! I'll get the ball rolling with a random vote.

VOTE: Axxle

[Madmardigan]

Unvote. Vote: IronStorm

I'm an idiot...

[kibbles0515]

vote: MadMardigan

for being an idiot (his words, not mine).

[cjquines]

Ugh. Do you guys

always

make senseless votes on D1?
Because where I'm from, senseless votes get us nowhere. Usually we just FoS somebody and wait for a reaction. Or we do follow the cop, and get the mafia worrying about the power roles. But whatever.

FoS: MadMardigan

because I want a reaction.

[Madmardigan]

It seems to me the only way to get information on day one is for everyone to start talking, so I was just breaking the ice. This is my first game and I'd like to participate rather than lurk, even if it garners my some suspicion.

[hero_bash]

I guess we both came from the same place cjquines. Me too I find day starts a bit strange and I think it's harder to adjust when you're used to particular setups than complete newbies. But anyway, VOTE: Nacho because he's the IC in the game.

[cjquines]

Well, that's a start. Madmardigan has already reacted! And this game is bubbling up quickly! I might be able to put my spreadsheet to good use already! Also, a replacement that replaced a replacement? That's something I haven't seen before. Oh well. Also, I don't think PbPA would be good here, I've seen the rash amounts of posts per day.

[iDanyboy]

What's the point of saying FoS can't you just say I'm suspicios of *name* , I'm new to this site so I do not know some of the words and how they are used but I am not new to mafia so don't worry about that.

Madman it seems you were over eager to get a vote on, so eager that you put a vote on someone who is not in the game by accident. Could it be that you are mafia who wants to get a vote on someone as soon as possible and you accidentely voted for some who is not in the game.

I'm not very good at typing what I'm thinking. So I guess this wont make sense for a lot of you.

[DylanSA]

Ah, finally

Hello everybody I am Dylan.

I've played Mafia with friends before, but having read through some games on this site, I can say that our games are nothing in comparison. The whole RVS idea is new to me too. We usually just vote no lynch with the idea that "there is no information to go by". My how wrong we were.

We also called the scum "mafia" (for obvious reasons) and the townies "civs" (short for civilians) so forgive me if I use these terms

A little about me:
I'm from South Africa. (Hence the SA in my username)
I learned Mafia on math camp
I also got a gf on math camp
Fire-escapes are fairly secluded if you ever want to hide/not be disturbed.
I'm going to Argentina in July, so will be on V/LA, but I'll remind the mod when I get the actual dates.

[DylanSA]

With that said,
VOTE: kibbles0515 because it says "mafia scum" under his username.

[Fallman7]

Ok here is the got that makes the most sence no lynch

[hero_bash]

unvote

VOTE: Dylan

Policy lynch please put avatars so it's easier to differentiate.

[DylanSA]

unvote

Policy lynch please put avatars so it's easier to differentiate.

Sorry.

Though I'm not the only one.

[DylanSA]

Bleugh. I messed up the quote :/

[cjquines]

Ack! My spreadsheet! See what you've done?

FoS: Fallman7

I would really really like to vote you, but my policy is against that.

[cjquines]

EBWOP!

VOTE: Fallman7

[DylanSA]

Ack! My spreadsheet! See what you've done?

FoS: Fallman7

I would really really like to vote you, but my policy is against that.

Is this for the "No Lynch" that he suggested?

Fallman: We have a lot of time to discuss (The day only ends 1 June). Why should we vote no lynch when we could potentially weed out scum by putting pressure on them or by observing voting patterns, reactions to being voted for etc... (At least, this is the way I understand RVS)

Madman it seems you were over eager to get a vote on, so eager that you put a vote on someone who is not in the game by accident. Could it be that you are mafia who wants to get a vote on someone as soon as possible and you accidentely voted for some who is not in the game.

I can see what you are trying to say, but at this point I don't think trying to put a vote on someone is an indicator either way.

[Nachomamma8]

Hey, friendly neighborhood IC here.

For now,

Vote: hero_bash

for voting me for no other reason than being the most experienced.

Generally, game gets started with these random type voting, and other people gleaning intentions off that. You will see how serious the game can get, but unfortunately I don't have much time for anything now. I will post a real post tomorrow.

[hero_bash]

Yay you're here

[Fallman7]

Well Dylan for one you should trust me I have played mafia a lot and have almost always been on the winning side which is oddly the side of the bystanders sorry I got distracted I have bad ADD. But anyway for starters random lynching is just stupid for one we could kill our town sided roles which would be extremely bad this early in the game if we lose the doc or the cop were pretty much dead in the water so how large of a chance is it that we lynch a town sided role. Quite high considering this is a relatively small game so let's use our heads newbies it's so much easier to figure out who is who after someone is killed to be honest in this game experience kills so I'm likely to be killed by the mafia by the morning since I know how to play well but that's the price of playing and knowing what your doing. Also maybe if we're lucky the cop will find our man and no senceless lynchings occurred. Trust me a lynch now is a bad idea if you don't believe me go to vizzed board go to crazy town trust me you'll find it and look at their previous games they don't lynch first and ask questions latter they stay calm and get the job done the most efficient way possible. If people panic we all die that's how it goes and I don't want to die just take my advice or leave it it's up to you play smart and live or die dumb y'alls choice.
