GAME RULES

SPECIAL MECHANICS:

Spoiler: PARTY UP!

Players vote during day phase for a 'Main Character'.
Votes for the main character should be clear; they must be bolded, on their own line, and clearly be a vote for the main character.

Main Character : Player Name

is fine as a cast vote.
During the night phase, the 'Main Character' chooses 4 players to be his 'party'.
The identity of the MC and his Party will be public info.
The MC will be chosen each day, all the way through LYLO, but he loses the ability to draft a party once there are only 5 or less players left in the game.
The MC can not be lynched (except in LYLO) or killed.
The MC and his party will use the day phase to publicly vote for what adventure they partake in during the following Night phase (refer to the 'ADVENTURE' special mechanic).
The MC and his party are the only ones that can 'spark' techniques (refer to the 'SPARKING TECHNIQUES' special mechanic).
The MC and his party gain a neighborhood they can chat in for the day/night that they are grouped together.
If the party ever groups up on a target (two or more party members target the same player during the same day or night phase) then the abilities that they use on that player will always affect that player without fail--this does not extend to factional abilities. This is the ONLY way the Main Character can die aside from being lynched in LYLO.

Spoiler: All about the MC

-What is the 'Main Character'?
The Main Character, referred to as the 'MC' from here on out, is a temporary modifier that a player can gain. The MC is immune to ALL killing actions (including strongman, treestump, etc.) and may not be lynched (except for in LYLO). The identity of the MC will be public at all times, as will the identity of his chosen Party.

-How does a MC die?
The MC can

only

be killed via two or more players on the party targeting the MC (one of these players must submit a killing action). When multiple Party Members submit actions on the same target, all of their actions see 'upgraded priority' and will resolve before any other actions in NAR. Actions with this 'upgraded priority' still follow their own NAR structure, so if one Party member kills the MC and another doctor-protects the MC, the doc shot will still protect from the kill.

This does not extend to factional abilities/kills

. This is the ONLY way the Main Character can die aside from being lynched in LYLO.

-How does someone become the MC?
During the day phase, players vote for a MC. When the day phase ends, whichever player has the most votes for MC will become the new MC during the following Day Phase.
If there is ever a tie (or no votes), the previous MC becomes the new MC.
If there is no previous living MC and no plurality winner in the MC vote, then no one becomes the MC during the following day.
If the voted MC is night-killed before the following day when they would become MC, the previous MC takes their place. If there is no previous MC to take their place, there is no MC for the following day.

-What other bonuses does being MC confer?
During the night that a player is chosen as the MC, they will pick four other players to become their 'Party'.
So long as there is an MC during the following day phase, the MC and the chosen four-player Party will be granted a private topic.
During the day phase that a player is an MC, the MC will decide which Region to visit.
During the night phase following deciding on a region, the MC and his Party may be given rewards based on the Region they visited.

Spoiler: SPARKING TECHNIQUES

During the night, a party will go on an adventure. During this adventure, they fight monsters and 'spark' new techniques.
Players will have other means of sparking techniques, however these methods are almost always tied to Adventures.
There are four categories of techniques; FIST, GUN, SWORD, DODGE.
Each category of technique has a progression of five different techniques; in order to achieve a stronger technique, you must have already sparked every technique that comes before it in its respective category.
What each technique does will be public info.
Activated Day-Use techniques must be used in the public thread with a clear bolded tag as follows;

Name of Ability : Target Player

Spoiler: ADVENTURE!

The MC and his party can choose a REGION to 'quest' in during the day.
This information will be made public, however the rewards from adventuring to that region will only be known to members of the party.
Each region will yield a power that the party gets exclusive knowledge of.
In the case only one player can receive the reward for adventuring, everyone in the party votes for who gets it and the MC's vote counts twice.
A region may only be visited for its rewards once unless specifically stated otherwise.
There will be 20 regions to visit.

GENERAL RULES:

Spoiler:

This game will start with a Day phase.
As a general rule you should aim for one post every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
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 – please don't leave us hanging!
Prods of missing players will be issued after 72 hours of no activity. Also, players may request a prod on another player after 48 hours. Any player may be replaced if they fail to post in-thread within 24 hours of being prodded by me or within 48 hours of being prodded after a player-suggested prod. If the game turns to night before you can respond to your prod, PM me letting me know you still want to play.
No prods will be issued during Night.
A player who is eligible for a third prod is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
You may not quote private topic or other out-of-game discussion (such as Hydra chats) in the public game thread, regardless of if the quotes are real or fabricated. Paraphrasing is acceptable.
There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings and approved QTs. If someone contacts you outside the game you should report it to me immediately.

DURING THE DAY:

Spoiler:

Each Day will have a two-week deadline. Extensions will be given only in extreme circumstances, but always feel free to ask.
A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down).
If the deadline runs out before a majority lynch is agreed on, the day will end in a no-lynch.
Players may vote for a No-Lynch via voting for 'No Lynch'.
Once a player has reached a simple majority of votes no further unvoting will change their fate.
Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players may continue to post.
Once you are dead (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for a brief “Bah!”-type post that contains NO game related information.
Votes should be bolded or tagged or they may not be counted (e.g. VOTE: Player or VOTE: Player).
Vote revocations should be bolded or tagged or they may not be counted (e.g. VOTE: UNVOTE: Player or Unvote). Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
Votes/Unvotes must be placed on a line all by themselves to make them easier for everyone to see.
Votes/Unvotes that reasonably follow the guidelines specified above, and are unambiguous with respect to player nicknames/abbreviations, will count.
Vote counts will be edited into the first post of each page (so long as I can keep up, yo). Other announcements and requested vote counts will receive their own post.

DURING THE NIGHT:

Spoiler:

Night will have a 72-hour deadline. Extensions will not be given, unless a player has to be replaced during the Night.
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.
If you expect not to be here to submit your night action during the night, you may send one in in advance.
Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).

MISCELLANEOUS:

Spoiler:

Any and all anti-town factions in this game have day-chat.
Please bold all requests to myself so that they don’t get missed.

Do not use standard MafiaScum purple (#800080). This is my color. All other colors are fine.

No invisible/small/encrypted text is allowed (if you can't read it, don't post it).
You are not allowed to edit your posts, if you have the ability to do so.
If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM me privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
If you do not understand how your role functions, feel free to PM me.
If you want to chat about delicious pizza and great vidcons, you can PM me about that, too.
I 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.
Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill, as the Mod sees fit. Modkills may be accompanied by a change to day/night and the offender’s role will be changed to Neutral Survivor, which guarantees a loss.
- Just know, it's all about intention. If you genuinely mess up, I'll try to cut you some slack. If I determine you're trying to compromise the integrity of the game though, you won't be too happy with the punishment.
Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to my discretion and will be handled as I see fit on a case-by-case basis.
I reserve the right to modify these rules at any time, so long as I inform you in thread.

THE GOLDEN RULE:

Spoiler:

Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun!
I created SaGa Frontier Mafia to bring people together and celebrate a game I love, but, ultimately, to have fun time on site.
Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game. Playing to win does not preclude being considerate of each other! Be cool.

SAMPLE ROLEPM:

Spoiler:

PLAYER NAME - COTTON	A furry cop on a mission
Kyyyuuuh.	Fade to Sepia. The End. You are aligned with the Protagonists (town). You win when all threats to the Protagonists are eliminated and at least one Protagonist-aligned player is still alive, or nothing can prevent the same.

Deadline

: (expired on 2016-01-22 14:10:00)

The Main Character is

Drixx

[Varsoon]

I've added flavor to the REGION list and clarified some of the TECH mechanics.
Regardless, there is a lot going on in this setup, so feel free to ask questions any time you don't understand how something works.
I think the biggest aspect that has come up a few times are effects that change how many votes it takes to lynch people.
These effects are additive. So, two people target you with an ability that causes you to take one vote less to lynch, you now take two votes less to lynch.
You will always be informed of how many votes it takes to lynch you.

[Varsoon]

It is now Day 1.
The Main Character is Drixx.

There is no Party.

[DiamondSentinel]

First!

VOTE: Varsoon for picking Drixx as main character.

[Lowkey]

VOTE: cooldog

It's not cool to advertise it.

Am I doing this right?

~Lowell (the lesser head)

[MaxwellPuckett]

VOTE: DiamondSentinel
For giving me comment section flashbacks.

So, is Drixx the MC from a previous night, and we'll now vote for today's main character?

[Drixx]

Since I don't get a party I'm open to suggestions on where to adventure. I don't think there's an inherent clock on when I have to decide, but let's say 48 hours. I'll keep my own counsel concerning the rest of what I know for the time being.

VOTE: Cool Cucumbers - My hydra partner is cheating on me and we both agreed that the result would be that we would end up on opposing factions. Well ... I don't have access to any PTs for this game so that is all I need to know.

[Drixx]

VOTE: DiamondSentinel
For giving me comment section flashbacks.

So, is Drixx the MC from a previous night, and we'll now vote for today's main character?

Nope. The vote today will be for tomorrow's Main Character.

I would suggest we leave this for later in the day. We haven't even had everyone check in yet. Someone might have some crazy cool role and just end up being the MC for the entire game, assuming they can demonstrate it and it's obvtown and such. Failing some reason to keep it on the same person, it's still probably a good idea to let the day transpire so we can try and avoid giving scum the MC.

[Sensei]

Intense.

[Spifflop]

VOTE: Drunken Pirates

Drixx pick us to adventure with you!!!

Oh, I get it now, thanks Drixx.

Since you've no party, I think it'd be a great idea to adventure to Wakatu, because ghost towns are the best location to travel alone to. The full Silent Hill experience.

[DiamondSentinel]

Can we just skip the RVS and cut to the chase? Is there a reason in the OP that Drixx is MC, and I just missed it? Or is it some other reason we don't yet know?

PEdit: I think he chooses a party today.

[Spifflop]

Oh I can't read nvm

~Spiffy

[Drixx]

I assume I'm the MC today because of my character. That's what the flavor indicates anyway. I do

not

get to choose a party today. Whomever is MC every day after this will pick a party (until there are too few players, should the game go that long), and that will be public info, according to the rules/mechanics.

Ok, so this day is basically just preparation for tomorrow. Well, have fun on your adventure, don't die nastily and such.

Anyways, I would support NOT ME for tomorrow's adventure. As much as I want the immunity (I mean, who doesn't), I would likely choose a team of all scum.

Looking forward to Titus posting, because when she's town, I find it pretty obvious. If she's town, then I've got my MC vote, and if she's not, I've got my lynch vote. ^_^

PEdit: I think he chooses a party today.

You're the one who cast the first RVS vote, and very few players have even posted. Nothing wrong with getting out of RVS, but if you want to, you have to do it yourself. not sure if asking people will help.

Pedit: titus' day one can make you confident of her alignment? You two close?

I voted the host, which was more just on my joke first post.

But anyways, no, I'm not close with Titus, but I've played a lot of games with her recently, and I find her very predictable. She's not the first person I've encountered to have the playstyle she does, and she's just as readable as each of them.

For not accepting we tried to get you in when you mentioned it.
(Can we be in your party so we can pretend to be hyrda'd at least?)
¬wgeurts

[Drixx]

So I really figure that there's no point in anything other than full disclosure right from the outset. I'll be around at least until tomorrow.

I am "Lute" and the only ability I start with is that I begin the game as the MC. I'm tempted to call it a pseudo-IC, but there's no confirmation for you guys of my alignment ... just your ability to go look at the flavor and see whether or not what I'm saying makes sense to you. I have a bit of flavor that tells me to work hard and explains that I begin with no inherent special abilities (so in terms of things I can do passively or actively ... nothing to start with). There's then some flavor that I'm sure fits with the theme which explains why I'm the MC today and why I don't get a party. To paraphrase, the flavor says something like "For some unknown reason the local jerks liked him." and the explanation is that I begin as MC but do not get a party.

That said, there are things I was told which the game hasn't been told. They're kind of important when it comes to voting for the MC, and I think it would be significantly bad if the MC lands in scum hands. There are obviously game changing things in the various sparks and it would be super unpleasant for some of those to be given to scum. My thinking is we can approach it two different ways, each with its own weakness:

1.) We evaluate and put the MC going forward on someone we're pretty sure is town and someone who is good at figuring out other town (since the party votes on who gets the benefits of the adventure, putting MC on someone who is hilariously bad at figuring out town would be bad).

2.) We put MC on someone who is willing to essentially be leashed to our town block, when a town block begins to form. They essentially become the proxy and decide which abilities to spark and such based upon the town block's suggestions.


I think the faults with either approach are obvious. Totally open to better ideas if someone has them.

FWIW, I actually have a slight town read on DS for #18. I don't generally form reads on day one very easily but that post screams town to me.

[The Cool Cucumbers]

Wait, you have to go party-less tonight?
I suggest going to one of the less appealing locations as Varsoon probably put something in that the least likeable options hold something (or not and they truly are as appealing as they seem). Possibly yorkland?

[DiamondSentinel]

There is no hydra D1, it seems.

Y'know what, let's ask the mod!

@Varsoon: I know it's early to be asking a question, but does Drixx get to pick a party today?

V: No, Drixx does not get to pick a party today. He will be adventuring alone during Night 1.
This is why the opening posts clarifies that 'There is no Party.'
