General Mafia Rules (stolen and modified from bird1111):

0. This is a game. Have fun. Don’t let things get personal.
1. The game will start with a Day Start once all confirms are in.
2. During Day, you may vote for one player at a time. Votes must be
bold
or they will not be counted. Unvoting is optional.
3. Whenever a player has more than half of the people alive voting for him/her, that player will be lynched, and his or her role will be revealed, and Night will begin.
4. If discussion lags or Day goes on for too long, a deadline may be set, most likely a retractable deadline, but if I feel it is necessary it will be non-retractable. At deadline the player with the most votes will be lynched. If there is a tie, the first one to reach that number of votes will be lynched (if a deadline approaches and there is a tie, I will make note of who would be lynched if the deadline resolves).
5. Do not talk outside the thread unless your role allows it.
6. If you’re dead, you get one ‘bah’ post with no game-related content.
7. If you have any question, complaint, or comment, PM me.
8. Confirm via PM.
9. Feel free to correct me if I make a mistake, but be nice about it.
10. I will try my best to get a vote count near or at the top of every page or at least every few days.
11. If you do not post for 72 hours or if a player requests I do so, I will prod you by PM, and then if you still do not post, you may be replaced or prodded again. Absences that are posted in thread, noted in your sig and/or posted in VLA are exceptions to this rule, though if I feel it is necessary, I might temporarily replace you.
12.
Blue
is the offical mod color for vote counts and end/start of day scenes, no one but me may post in it, and if someone other than me edits it, the blue will be edited out and they will be warned.
13. The setup and roles were 100% randomized.
14. I reserve the right to edit these rules as I see fit.
15. Do not post any direct quotes from outside communications with the mod or, if your role allows it, other players. Doing so will lead to bad consequences (mod kill, general public dislike). You may paraphrase things, just no direct quotes.

Potential Role PM's as per the F11 set up:

Mafia

You are a normal Mafia goon. Your partner is (player name), a mafia (goon/roleblocker). Each night the two of you may discuss and send me the name of a player you wish to kill. Either of you may send in the kill. Each day the two of you will try your best not to be eliminated and persuade the town with your discussion and votes to lynch other people.

You win when only mafia members remain or nothing can stop this from happening.

During the confirmation step, you can discuss with your partner for strategy reasons, but until until the thread has opened for play.

Each day the two of you will try your best not to be eliminated and persuade the town with your discussion and votes to lynch other people.

In addition, you may send in the name of a player each night. If that player had any night actions (ie. doctor or cop), their actions that night will be cancelled.

You win when only mafia members remain or nothing can stop this from happening.

During the confirmation step, you can discuss with your partner for strategy reasons, but until until the thread has opened for play.

Town

You are a cop. Each night you may choose a player. I will tell you if that player is pro-town or mafia. During the day you will try your best to find and eliminate the mafia through discussion and votes.

You win when there are no remaining mafia.
You are a doctor. Each night you may choose a player. If that player was chosen to be killed by the mafia, instead they will not die. During the day you will try your best to find and eliminate the mafia through discussion and votes.

You win when there are no remaining mafia.
You are a townie. During the day you will try your best to find and eliminate the mafia through discussion and votes.

You win when there are no remaining mafia

Potential setups per the F11 rules (one of these was chosen at random):
1 Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Townies, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Mafia Goon
1 Cop, 6 Townies, 2 Mafia Goons
1 Doctor, 6 Townies, 2 Mafia Goons
7 Townies, 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker

Notes:

The only role who is notified they are role blocked is the cop, who receives a PM staying they got no result due to a role block if they are role blocked.

A Cop is assured to receive true results, also know as "sane". A doctor's protections, if un-roleblocked, are assured to work 100% of the time.
Away Wednesday the 24th through the 31st

Hi guys. I'm one of the ICs in this game. I

the others are TheHermit and skitzer.

So, to start off, I'll
Vote: TheHermit
for stealing some of my thunder, not announcing his ICness and, of course, being obvious scum.

hmm I agree, how does it make them town. I also find it suspicious that you changed your mind (destructor) so fast for no apparent reason.

I also find peoplesmafia's vote a bit suspicious. Even though numegil voted against her first, she only voted for him when he was up to L-2 (not sure if that's the right term for having 2 lynch votes against a person) putting him to L-3 (?). I'm not too keen on bandwagoning either, but it's still day 1 so...*shrug*.

I voted him because he voted me. I am prone to things like that. But you seem bothered by my vote for him. Is there a reason?

*puts on IC hat*

Random Voting is a means by which discussion is created. You've called all of these votes 'random', but how do you know they actually are? I even provided a reason for my TheHermit vote, so can it really be called random? These are the sorts of questions and discussions random votes can produce.

Personally, I've stopped random voting. I prefer to treat the beginning of a game as a "random stage", where anything can happen from votes to roleclaims. The intention remains to get the game moving and give the players something to talk about.

I'm not too keen on bandwagoning either, but it's still day 1 so...*shrug*.
"L-2" is an abbreviation of "Lynch - (minus) 2" or two votes from a lynch. With five votes needed to lynch, peoplesmafia's vote was the third on the wagon, placing numegil at L-2.

*takes IC hat off*

peoplesmafia's vote is interesting in light of this:

TheHermit also voted you, peoplesmafia. Why didn't you vote for him?

TheHermit was the first to vote me. That didn't bother me. I only care when more than one person votes me. So when numegil voted me, I felt it was time for a revenge vote.

Are you supposed to claim ICness? Sorry, first game as an IC.

Anyway, peoplesmafia, voting someone who voted for you is known as OMGUS, an acronym which means "Oh My God, U Suck!" It is a very weak reason to vote, because voting for someone in and of itself has no bearing on whether the person is town or mafia. Now, if they used screwy logic to justify their vote, that's something else entirely. ;)

Anyway, it seems we're moving away from the random stage so I shall remove my random vote.
Unvote


Instead,
Vote: Destructor
for changing his vote so quickly without reason and then ignoring when other players asked for a clarification. Hoping that we forget about it?

Ok, I'll go with TheHermit on this one.
unvote: peoplesmafia
because I really didn't have any basis for that vote other than the whole "random voting" thing. At this point, I'll
vote:Destructor
for the same reasons as given above.

I'm not sure that I buy that entirely. Did it bother you at all that you were placing him at L-2?
