Rules: Influenced and possibly even adjusted from people like MeMe, Dragon Phoenix, and SaveTheDragons.

[1] Each day you may try to lynch somebody. A lynch requires a total number of votes that is strictly more than half the people alive. A normal lynch is irrevocable. If necessary, I will install a deadline; a deadline lynch requires either half the number of votes of a normal lynch rounded up or 2 votes, whichever is greater. If multiple people are tied for the lead at deadline, nobody will be lynched. If there are 4 or less people alive, a full majority is required to lynch.

[2] Please bold your votes and unvotes as in
vote: Thok
. I would appreciate it if you include the name of any person you unvote, but I do not require it. I would prefer that you unvote before voting, but I do not require it.

[3] No talking to other people outside the thread during the day. You may only talk to other people outside the thread at night if it is part of your role.

[4] Do not edit your posts. Do not use code=black tags or size=normal tags. Because jeep hacked into mafiascum's php code in order to install invistext or spoiler tags, I must remind you that you are not allowed to use invistext or spoiler tags.

[5] Do not quote the mod. Do not fakequote the mod.

[6] Once you are dead, you are dead. You may post a simple "Bah!" post, but no game related content. However, see the rules about Tree Stumps in this game.

[7] Try to be relatively civil to each other. I know you're trying to kill each other, but that's no reason to insult somebody's mother.

[8] I am the mod, but I do occasionally make mistakes. (Shock! Dismay!) If you think I have made a mistake, please send me a PM.

[9] I will try to put up a vote count each page or so. If you feel that I have gone too long without putting up a vote count, please either ask for a votecount in thread or PM me to let me know.

[10] I will not being doing activity checks. If you feel a person has gone too long without posting (say 3 days) please either PM me with a request for prods, or make a statement in thread of the form Please Prod LurkerMclurk. If a person goes two days (where a weekend counts as one day) without responding to a prod, I will replace them.

[11] I reserve the right to use any form of punishment (up to and including modkills) at my discretion. I don't plan on using this unless something strange happens.

Game Roles:

9 people will receive the Tree PM
Town wrote:You are a Tree! Not leaping from tree to tree!

If you choose, you may commit suicide at any time during the day by posting "I didn't want this role. I wanted to be a Lumberjack! Leaping from tree to tree!". Doing this will kill you, reveal your role in thread, reset the vote counts and keep day going. However, you will still be able to keep posting in the thread after saying this phrase (but not if lynched or nightkilled).

Otherwise, your only powers are to post, think, and vote.

You win when all Lumberjacks are dead.

Please confirm in the thread.
3 people will receive the Mafia PM
Mafia wrote:You are a Lumberjack! Leaping from tree to tree! You are Mafia with X and Y, whom you may talk with each night.

Each night you may target a tree (but not a tree stump), and kill them. Trees killed this way will no longer be able to post in thread.

If you choose, you may commit suicide at any time during the day by posting "I didn't want this role. I wanted to be a Lumberjack! Leaping from tree to tree!". Doing this will kill you, reveal your role in thread, reset the vote counts and keep day going. However, you will still be able to keep posting in the thread after saying this phrase (but not if lynched or nightkilled).

You win when there are at least as many Lumberjacks as Trees alive. Tree stumps do not count as Trees or Lumberjacks for purpose of this win condition.

Please confirm in the thread.
Game specific rules:

1. I will not be strict on requiring proper spelling for the Tree Stump activation phrase. Any phrase that is reasonably close to "I didn't want this role. I wanted to be a Lumberjack! Leaping from tree to tree!" will be considered an attempt to become a tree stump. [For reference, I consider "I didn't want this role. I wanted to be a Tree! Not leaping from tree to tree!" to not be close to the phrase.]

2. I will appreciate it if any person who is attempting to become a Tree Stump sends me a PM. This is not necessary, but it would make my life easier.

3. If you want to know how something will affect you, please send me a PM.

4. We will have a day start. There will be a 48 hour pregame period for people to confirm/discuss some strategy/give mafia some time to talk outside the thread. No votes will be counted during this period.

It is now pregame. All roles have been sent out. Feel free to ask questions in the thread. For the moment, votes and Tree Stumping will be ignored.

Mafia may talk with themselves during the pregame period.

That's an antigame approach. I object.

It seems to me we have a "mountainous"-style setup here (where nights are vital to the scum's success) and an ability to avoid going to night. Simply put, I suggest that once someone gets to L-2, if two people who aren't voting for that person chant "stump" then that person should stump themselves and we won't have to go to night.

Of course, the scum may as well just refuse an get lynched, so it may not be possible to avoid having 2 nights - but that's all. I can't see how this wouldn't move the balance of the game towards the town. Any thoughts?

i support that strategy

limiting the scum's nightkill chances will definitely help us.

Wouldn't it be
im
possible to not have 2 nights?? I don't foresee scum using their own as their nightkill anytime soon or committing suicide since we find out that he was scum anyway.
Other than that, I suppose your strategy would work. Just hope the town doesn't choose many tree targets that end up killing themselves.

Sounds like an excellent plan. And those who refuse to stump, we lynch. Furthermore, by having more players stumped instead of lynched/NKed, we have unbiased viewpoints coming from confirmed townies.

Understandably, anyone who objects this plan will be seen as obvscum, so by unanimous vote, this plan will take effect as of the start of the game.

Don't noone lynch anyone!

I vote that we instead of voting (to avoid quicklynching we Stump)

If the mod is nice enough to post a stump count, we will be able to (if we reach a majority force someone to stump then we all move on to finding the next stump
