RULES & SETUP:

 

This game will not feature many rules - but the rules that exist must be strictly abided by.

 

1. Players must be active. Daily participation is expected (RL days). Having said that, announced LOA's are fine, as long as you are active while you are playing.

 

The idea is this; the best games are the ones where people are actively plotting, playing, and posting tons of pages. The worst games are the ones where three RL days go by with a few spam posts. I know weekends will be slow - no problem - and I know that things pop-up and you can't get to a computer sometimes - no problem. I'm trying to promote the "spirit" of the game, and the spirit wants to play.

 

Lurking is an accpetable playstyle. Ignoring is not.

 

2. No faking emergencies. Real things happen, and I'm happy to help with anything like that. But don't use an emergency excuse to cover lurking.

 

3. There are no time limits on days and nights. Having said that, if you are MIA and the entire game is waiting on a night action, I will forfeit your action after 48 hours of no contact. If I see that you have logged on to DM and you are just ignoring this game, there will be no reason for you to check the thread...you'll already know what happened.

 

4. No needless spamming. Game related spamming is fine.

 

Game related spamming is a technique where a player is making a useless or silly argument just to generate pages and pages of posts to a.) discourage players from re-reading due to the volume of posts, or b.) create a diversion while something else is happening that they don't want you to notice. It's sorta like fillibustering. It's a legit technique, and I have no problem with it.

 

Non-game related spamming is when two people are up at night, talking on the thread, wondering how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. Fiddlesticks is availabel for spamming. Don't do it in the game.

 

If you have questions, don't worry - I'll post warnings when I see it happening. Only a repeat offender will be vaporized. As always, wise-crack one liners are encouraged. heh

 

5. Any legit technique will be allowed. This means that people may gang-up on you, or call you a liar, or pick on you for seemingly no reason. You have to remember that it's all part of the game and that it is not personal. Having said that, I absolutley will not allow any personal attacks - they are ridiculous. This is a game. Keep it cool.

 

6. No editing posts for any reason. Evar.

 

7. No quoting mod PM's.

 

8. Any QT (or the like) threads must be linked to me.

 

9. No off thread communication is allowed unless your role specifies that it is.

 

I'm an active mod - if you have questions, you can ask them on or off thread - whichever serves your purpose.

 

***

 

There will be townies and there will be mafia. The townies win when they kill all of the mafia. The mafia win when they kill enough players to equal or outnumber the townies. If Solo win roles are included, you must be the last player standing to win.

 

There will be many roles. The roles are designed to compliment and work against each other.  For every action, there is a re-action, and so forth and so on. The idea is to create synergy and action to keep things interesting and keep people guessing.

 

All of the possible roles are listed below (all but three pulled from the mafia wiki). These roles may or may not be featured in the game, but if it's not on the list, it won't be in the game. Study the roles so that you can pick them off or have an idea of how you would use it if you get it.

 

Cop

Doctor

Vigilante

Mason Group

Serial Killer

Roleblocker

Double Voter

Voteless Player

Socialite

Tree Stump

Jail Keeper

Evangelist

Backup

Governor

Firefighter

Arsonist

Psychiatrist

Psycho

Posion Doctor

Poisoner

Fortune Teller

Traitor

 

 

The three new roles have been created especially for this game.

 

***

 

Call-Your-Shot means that you plan your play in advance. You may decide that you want to pull off a gambit, so PM me to let me know that you are doing this. If it flops, there is no glory. If you pull it off, you become a mafia god.

 

Lots of plays exist, from simple traps to elaborate schemes.

 

You can PM me to let me know that you are going to try a get a player lynched. You can PM me to tell me you are going to fake-reveal a role. You can PM me to tell me that multiple players are going to pull off a gambit.

 

Each PM will be graded on a scale of 1 to 10.

 

A relatively easy action will  be eligible to earn from 1 - 3 points. (2 points for starting well, but getting caught. Savvy?)

 

A more difficult play will be eligible to win 4-6 points. I'll discuss with you when your play is a 2nd tier play.

 

A master-plan will be worth from 7 - 10 points, depending on how well it goes.

 

No points will be awarded for outright failure. A master-plan that never takes off will be worth zip.

 

If you don't PM me to call it - I won't count it. No exceptions.

 

I'll award 2 points if you correctly guess somebody's role. I won't tell you about it until the end of the game, but I'll keep your points together.

 

Points will only be announced after the end of the game, so don't ask for them before.

Got mah PM!  Shouldn't there be some way to prevent people from abusing the points system by for instance guessing every single role for every single person?

[Alys Kinch]

Hello lovely friends!

*sends kisses before she heads home for the night*

[Kivam]

Hey, guys!  Just a heads up - I currently have 2 summary judgment briefs due on Feb. 5, which means I'll be scarce for the next little bit.

[Barmacral]

So, Talya loves being evil, more so than she loves playing any other role. I've known this nearly as long as I've known her, and I know that she is very good at being scum. So good at it, in fact, that she was integral to the Kivam Gambit. The most famous mafia move on Dragonmount, which almost none of you were around for btw, that resulted in her and Kivam winning the game.

 

Anyways, it is pretty easy to tell when Talya is not mafia, as she tends to peg me as mafia, who is also usually innocent at the same time. But, of late she has not been mafia much, and having been a part of many Wes-modded games in the past, I think it is safe to say that the likelyhood of Talya being mafia is in fact rather high. High enough that I will vote for her, yes, her... and not number 8.

 

[glow=red,2,300]Vote: Talya[/glow]

 

 

[a pale tanned lover]

Nice little write up Barm...

 

*sits back and waits for the other contestants to arrive in the DPR's house*

[Guest dragonsworn1991]

I am here and I am voting [glow=red,2,300]pete[/glow] because I am number 11. A little tradition of mine, and I know that was a joke post barm, but it pinged my radar.

[WWWwombat]

I was wondering how you would handle that Pete.

[LilyElizabeth]

I'm here also, and ready to play. Pete, I'm impressed. That's two games in two days you've been #11. I'd say karma's after your butt.

 

 

Wes, I don't see anything about talking off thread. Is that not prohibited?

 

 

[DPR]

All PM's have been sent. Please respond to them before you post!

 

A couple of quick notes:

 

1. I am using the term "Townie" for innocent to mirror the mafia wiki page.

2. A handful of players are cleared for LOA's or lower activity, which is fine. If you need time, please let me know.

3. I also have a substitute player list for no-shows. Please PM me if you wish to be on it.

 

**4. No communication off thread unless your role specifies that you may!

 

Enjoy!  8)

[Hybrid]

Checking in and ready to play.

[cosmicpanda]

Just quickly, I need somebody to say "I agree with Pandy", please. Don't ask questions, just do it. It's my ego. (Nothing bad will happen to you, if you're worried.)

 

And [glow=red,2,300]vote Lily[/glow] for not voting

 

 

[WWWwombat]

I agree with Pandy

[Barmacral]

I am here and I am voting [glow=red,2,300]pete[/glow] because I am number 11. A little tradition of mine, and I know that was a joke post barm, but it pinged my radar.

 

Ok, three questions...

 

1) Who said I was joking?

2) If it is obviously a joke, why does it ping your radar?

3) Why do I have mod powers on this board? (I don't mind, I'm not about to use them, I'm just curious)

 

Also, voting for number 11 isn't really special or unique. Loki Redfern once upon a time always opened up his games with voting for number 8, and even lynched himself (he was mafia too) all because he was number 8 one game. Now THAT is dedication. Are you willing to do that?

[cosmicpanda]

I would hope not, because that's silly and I would probably give them a warning as OG mod for not playing to win.

[WWWwombat]

I agree with Herm Edwards.

[Barmacral]

I dunno, I suspect Loki would have called that a win in his books, cause he achieved his goal of killing number 8.

[Tigraine]

I have a very strong feeling that this is gonna be a tough game for me seeing as how I never do anything special like leading a lynch  :-\

 

 

Anybody wanna help me out and let me lead a lynch on you? ;D

[Kivam]

Probably because its a subboard of General.

 

Also, [glow=red,2,300]Barm[/glow], for the world's most obvious use of reverse psychology.

[WWWwombat]

Kivam didn't comment on my Herm Edwards reference >:(

[cosmicpanda]

Kivam didn't comment on my Herm Edwards reference >:(

 

I'm liking the way you said you agree with me. That's pro-town, for reasons I may reveal on day two or later. I'm not liking the way you try to distract us from the game here, though. That's anti-town.

[WWWwombat]

Ok ok I'll be more serious then.

[Far Dareis Mai]

LOL @ Pandy.

 

Alright folks, I'm here. The party may start.

 

Wow, Alys, Kivam, Barm, and myself? It's going to be epic.

Then why don't I have mod rights in fiddles or D&D? Thats what I thought at first, but this is the only one I got extra mod rights on.

 

And really, you thought I was trying to be subtle?

[Naeann]

Nice Far.  So you are basically saying those of us who have played awhile though not as far back as you clearly have no talent in the game?  Do you hear that Verbal?  Maybe you are rusty!  You haven't played in awhile.  Neither has Alys.  Bwahahah!  (I do only kid.. I hang on by my fingernails in these games and probably even more so when the epics actually bother to play)
