YCM mafia

[Red Ryu]

For those who do not know Mafia here it is.

[quote]The above is a typical opening for a game called Mafia. The game is played by a group of people, each playing the role of either a murdering mafia member or an innocent townsperson, along with a game moderator. At the beginning of the game, night falls, and the mafia family members become aware of each other (by communication from the moderator). They then choose a victim, and the moderator announces the death scene. When day breaks, the town must try to weed out the evil by lynching someone they suspect to be mafia. The game continues, alternating between night and day, until one side is eliminated.

The game of Mafia (in Meat World) is usually run with playing cards representing the possible roles in the game. The moderator secretly distributes the cards to the players, then has everyone put their head down/close their eyes. During the night, the moderator "wakes up" the mafia, and they silently choose a victim. During the day, everyone discusses, argues, screams, and eventually votes for someone to lynch. The cycle repeats until the endgame.

MafiaScum, however, is devoted to the online version of the game. As far as anyone knows, this version was first attempted in August 2000 on the Grey Labyrinth. It was so successful that mith (a regular GL-er) felt it warranted its own site. Online Mafia has the potential for more strategy and subtlety because it removes most of the possibility for cheating and provides players with a chance to form suspicion based on logic and voting patterns instead of facial expression. It also has the potential for just as many (if not more) laughs, because the players can act however they like, no matter how shy they might be in real life. [/quote]

Rules


Fundamentals

1. Have fun and do not personally attack another player in an offensive manner.
2. Once you have died in the game, you are allowed to say one 'Bah, go town/scum' post.
3. No communication about this game is allowed with non-players or players who are dead, even if you yourself are dead. (If you are dead, you may not discuss the game with anyone who is currently playing, even if you could while you were alive, unless your role specifically states otherwise.)
4. Unless your role PM specifically allows you the power, you are not to communicate with anyone about this game outside of this game thread. This includes posting content outside of the game thread and linking to it in the game thread.
5. Do not edit your posts. Double posting is fine in its place.
6. I reserve the right to deny anyone from signing up/replacing.
7. You are not allowed to quote any mod communication of any kind, real or fake. You must paraphrase all information you wish to claim. This includes any additional PMs I may send to you outside of your role PM. You are not allowed to post or refer to any images in your role PM, nor may you post metadata about mod PMs in an attempt to break the game (e.g., message ID in the URL, time of day the message was sent, etc.).
8. You may not post screenshots of any kind. These will be immediately edited out by the mod.
9. The use of non-English, invisible, hidden, coded, or otherwise intentionally hidden or indecipherable text is strictly prohibited. (Spoiler tags are allowed because they are easily noticeable. This rule is not meant to disallow breadcrumbing within the visible text of a message.)
10. You may not quote logs of communication with other players or post them in threads. You are free to paraphrase.
11. Failure to send in your night action(s) will result in no action(s) being taken.
12. Failure to adhere to the rules will result in replacement or modkill based on the moderator's discretion.
13. This is a game of Mafia. I am your game moderator, Red Ryu. Please direct any questions you have about the game to me, either with the[b] @mod: command in thread or via PM (if necessary).[/b] I will not answer questions in the public forum related to privately disseminated information barring that it was mentioned in the sample role PM.



Voting and Lynching

1. Each Day, you may vote for a player to be lynched using a bold vote command. For example, [b]vote: Red Ryu[/b]
2. When changing your vote, you must unvote your previous vote before you revote. For example, [b]unvote vote: Red Ryu[/b]
3. No lynch is a viable lynch choice and a majority will end the Day without a lynch. For example, [b]vote: No Lynch.[/b]
4. After the majority lynch has been decided but before the lynch scene is posted, there will be a Twilight phase. Everyone can post in this phase, including the lynch majority target. The Twilight phase ends when the game moderator posts the lynch scene and officially begins the Night phase.
5. The Day will end when a majority lynch is decided or a preset deadline has been reached. If deadline is reached without a majority lynch decided, there will be no lynch.
6. There is no posting in this thread during the Night phase.



Activity and Deadline

1. You are required to post every 36 hours. If you fail to do so, you will be prodded. An accumulation of too many prods (however much I think that is) will result in your replacement or a modkill depending on the circumstances. When feasible, I will tell you if I'm considering replacing/modkilling you if feasible. If you will be inactive for an extended period of time, you must notify me in advance. Unexcused or particularly long absences may result in your replacement or modkill.
2. I do not expect to grant deadline extensions, barring extenuating circumstances. In the event I need to replace a player, I may extend the deadline to accommodate the new player. Certain game events may also result in a change of deadline.
3. Days will generally last 7 days.
4. Nights will generally last approximately 48 hours. If you have a Night action and do not wish to use it, please send me a PM to that effect, lest I have to wait until the deadline for naught. Note that Nights will only end early if all actions have been submitted prior to the deadline, and all players have been online since the Night phase began.
5. DO NOT tell me to prod (insert person) within their 36 hour post. I will prod them whenever I deem is necessary
