This is the rules post. TL;DR: You can't bet, you can't cryptoclaim, real-life > mafia,
don't post unless your name is listed above, don't post if you're dead (except one bah post) or observing, read the freaking PMs before posting in the game, DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS, only the rules in this game applies, don't be a Stuart and get modkilled. Read the rules section at least once.
GOG Mafia General Rules (veterans know these): - Cryptoclaiming is forbidden. In short, cryptoclaiming is having people claim in some sort of, preferably nearly unbreakable, code, which makes it all but impossible for the Mafia team to win.
- Betting among players is strictly forbidden.
- Real Life issues and situations should and will always take priority over what happens in the game. If a player presents a real life issue as a reason on why they need a bit more time or are temporarily unavailable to partake normally in the game that reason should be accepted and respected by everyone else (including the mod). Everyone should always treat real life problems/situations in a gentlemanly manner and never try to make accusations or gain leverage in the game based on that. If these issues become too overwhelming the incapacitated player should inform their mod and ask for a replacement as soon as possible or if they are unable to do so the mod should take steps in finding a replacement for them. Everyone should be playing the game for fun and treat each other with the necessary respect. Therefore we shall always assume that every real life reason for inefficient participation in the game is 100% real and has to be taken as such. We shall also count on everyone playing the game to show proper respect and sportsmanship to their fellow players and the mod by never abusing this "free pass". If someone is caught taking advantage of everyone's good will they will be immediately allowed to find another place to play forum mafia.
Game Rules: 1. PookaMustard is the moderator of the game. I like to give chances but please don't abuse it. If you personally harass or insult other players, or go against the spirit of the game, I WILL TAKE ACTION, and either warn you, punish you, or even modkill you. After all, we all want a fun game.
2. Mafia is a game of lying and deception. That means you can't take any player at their word during the game, with few exceptions (real life issues mostly).
3. During the work week (Day), you can vote a player by writing your vote on a new line, in all bold. For example,
Vote zeogold. Same goes for unvoting, except you don’t need to write the name of the player, for example,
Unvote. You also don’t need to unvote when changing your vote. If no majority is submitted before the end of the Day, no lynch happens. In case you deliberately want a no-lynch to happen anyway, you can always
Vote no-lynch.
4. A player is immediately lynched once they receive the majority of votes. You cannot unvote to cancel the lynch. A lynch immediately starts the Twilight, which ends when the moderator announces the flip of the lynched player. The lynched player can still talk until the Phase ends. If no majority vote is achieved, the Twilight is automatically started at the end of the Day.
5. During the weekend (Night), any player actions available to you can be submitted to the moderator via PM, and nobody can talk in this thread. If an action is not submitted by the player, the moderator assumes that the action is "do nothing." (Pro-tip: don’t waste your actions, they’re valuable for your team). When the Day starts again, the ability to talk in the thread is also restored.
6. Players receive their alignment, role, win condition and character backstory in a PM. Please add me as a friend or enable PMs from non-friends so the game can start. Also please READ your PMs before you write any posts.
7. To win, players must fulfill the conditions specified in their PM. Players who don’t fulfill them lose the game. Unless otherwise specified, these conditions apply even if you’re dead. If you get modkilled, you automatically lose the game regardless of your win condition.
8. The game is only played in this thread and in the relevant secret chats (which are available at all times). Discussing this game outside of the official threads is prohibited. As well, the only rules and modifications in effect for this game will be available IN THIS POST. Do not quote anything said about the setup or potential rules from the signup thread or other places, quote ONLY from this post.
9.
DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS. Yes, I feel your urge to fix those godawful grammar and spelling errors, but what's worse is when your edits break the game by correcting impressions you wouldn't like other factions to have, or retracting lies you have made. If you feel the need to edit the post, PM me and I will allow or reject at my own discretion. Likewise, do not double post within 11 minutes of your last post: either wait at least 13 minutes before posting, or ask for a bump in the Forum Mafia admin thread.
10. You are expected to make at least one post every 48 hours. If you need to be away for longer, let me know (or post in the thread) and you’ll be excused as per GOG Mafia General Rules. However, posting more should make for a more interesting and fun game.
11. If you die, stop posting in this thread. You have one single "bah" post to express your frustration, but don’t hand out any game-relevant info on your way out.
12. If you have any questions, mention my name on a new line, and write your question. Both in bold. For example,
PookaMustard can we have a sample PM? 13. Read the rules
14. Have fun, and stay classy
Game-specific rules: This game uses an open setup based off
NewD3 from the mafiascum wiki. That means everyone knows what alignments and roles (and what these roles do) are in the game, and they are as follows:
A Neutral Vanilla
A Mafia Goon
A Mafia Rolecop
A Town Jailkeeper
A Town Friendly Neighbor
+ 5 Town Vanillas
Generally, in keeping with the theme of the game, the weekdays (day phase) start with Monday and end with Friday, and the weekends (night phase) are Saturdays and Sundays in the Real World.
Due to the timing of the game in the real world, a Christmas and New Year's vacation is not off the books. This will pause the game for up to a week for all parties. If you want me to grant you that, then you can
Vote Christmas on a new line. Votes and unvotes on Christmas are counted separately from your regular vote, and are only effective if the vacation was not already granted.
Now, for the sample PMs...all of them start with your character backstory, which can be two or three paragraphs, or up to half a chapter from a short novel. (I like writing tbh)
You're not really in the game, but if you were, you'd be the only foreigner who didn't show up to America to run away from their home country. You don't hate Stuart personally, per se, you just don't like him to an extent. But not as much as the others, obviously.
And then it details your role, as follows. This does not include all roles.
Hi, JoeSapphire
You are SEO MYUNG-HEE, a NEUTRAL VANILLA.
You can vote during the work week (day phase). You're powerful enough!
You win when you make it to the end of the game without being removed.
Hi, JoeSapphire
You are SEO MYUNG-HEE, a TOWN VANILLA.
You can vote during the work week (day phase). You're powerful enough!
You win when all threats to Town have been eliminated.
Hi, JoeSapphire
You are SEO MYUNG-HEE, a MAFIA GOON.
Your partner is JYOTSNA RAJA (my name is catte), who is a MAFIA ROLECOP.
You can vote during the work week (day phase), just like the Townies.
You or your partner can "kill" a coworker (player) during each weekend (night phase), removing them from the game.
You win when the Town has been eliminated, or nothing can stop this from occurring.
You can communicate with your partner at any time here:
