Welcome to the reboot of GOG Mafia! The theme of this game is the 2004 version of Battlestar Galactica. (Yes, I put a reboot in your reboot.)
Though unnecessary to play and enjoy the game, I strongly recommend watching the show, or at the very least the two-part miniseries which starts off the reboot. It’ll help get you into the theme of the game, and it’s just all-round awesome.
The gameplay is mostly normal, however I have added a brig mechanic to fit the theme of the game, whereby a player is thrown into the Brig. Brigging a player is a non-lethal action, allowing players to make consensus actions which are weaker than lynches. Brigging a player does not end the day, and multiple brig/unbrig actions may be taken in the course of a day phase. A player may be thrown in the brig if a majority of players vote to brig them. A player in the Brig may be released if a majority of players vote to unbrig them. Ties will not resolve in an action until the tie is broken. Players in the brig cannot vote on lynch or brig actions, but may otherwise continue to make arguments. Additionally, brigged players cannot use any role abilities (including faction kills) they may have, and Cylon players in the Brig may not talk to other Cylon players. However, players in the Brig are not immune to the effects of abilities or to lynches. Only one player can be in the Brig at once. If there are below five players, it will no longer possible to brig other players. If the Crew end the day with the last Cylon in the Brig (thereby preventing further nightkills), this will count as all threats being eliminated.
(Please note that all instances of “Crew” may be interchanged with “Town”, and all instances of “Cylon” may be interchanged with “Mafia”. For flavour, role names have been modified, but the standard names have been provided alongside these.)

Here’s a sample PM, so we’re all on somewhat the same page:
You are Samuel “Longshot” Anders, Crew Regular (Vanilla Town).
You are a regular member of the Crew. You have no special abilities.
You win if all threats to the Crew are eliminated and at least one Crew-aligned player is alive.

Additionally, all roles which can perform night actions have the following text:
To perform an action, PM the mod with your chosen action. Only one action may be taken per night.

Rules:
* A player will be lynched if a majority of the currently alive players vote for them to be lynched. Once a player has been lynched, the current day will end, and their name, role, amd alignment will be revealed. Alternatively, players may vote for no lynch to occur (“nolynch”); if the majority of players vote for no lynch, the day will end without a lynch. Dead players should not continue to post in the game thread, and are asked to not interfere with the remaining portion of the game; however, they may post “last words” after being killed, should they wish.
* Once a player has been lynched, the game will be in “twilight”. Players may continue posting until the night phase is announced, after which players are asked not to post until the next day phase.
* The length of day and night phases will be announced when the phases start. If asked for, extensions may be granted.
* You may not directly quote the contents of your role PM, or analyse its formatting; only paraphrasing is allowed. Similarly, you may not crypto-claim. PMs with the moderator should also not be quoted.
* Which characters are Crew and which characters are Cylons has been randomly assigned. This game is intended to be able to be played without knowledge of the setting (though encouraging viewing of the miniseries), and it is left up to players if they wish to engage with the lore. As such, spoiler discussions are unnecessary and discouraged.
* To vote for a player to be lynched or thrown in the brig bold the appropriate action followed by the player’s name; for example, vote Zchinque or brig Robbeasy, respectively. To rescind a vote or brig action, you should likewise bold this (unbrig nmillar). You may be humorous with your voting actions, but please keep your intent clear (for example, airlock Rodjazu will be interpreted as a lynch vote). To assist in vote-counting, please don’t use bold text for other purposes.
* Any player may request a vote count at any time; please PM me or quote me in the thread to do so.
* Please do not edit your posts for any reason. If you need to double-post, please be aware that the forum will merge double-posts that are close together, and this will be considered as editing your post. Depending on severity, you may be modkilled for violating this rule. The sole exception to this is if I ask you to edit your post for game reasons.
* All in-game discussion must occur within the designated format, either in the game thread or in a provided team chat, and only during the appropriate phases. Anyone violating this rule will be modkilled.
* Spectators are asked not to attempt to influence the game. If you wish to discuss the game, please do so privately or wait until the game has ended.
* Players are expected to be active in the game. As such, you should post at least once every 48 hours. If you don’t, then you will be messaged to encourage you to post. If you need to let people know about any absences or coordinate a substitute, then please do so in the meta thread. Inactive players who fail to participate when poked will be substituted.
* Finally, this is a game. Please do not make personal attacks against other players. If you are unable to play nicely with other players, you will be substituted out.
