The Rules! (as copied from K-Ness' shiny new ones he slapped together for clarity, and modified just a hair to represent my games!)

1) Main Rules

A full writeup of the rules can be found here.
www.mafiascum.net
Please read on for additional rules changes specific to my mod style.
Rules may be updated periodically, specifically Power Rules.

2) Voting and Lynches

When voting, make sure to place your vote in bold. This allows the vote to be easily seen by the moderator. Votes that are not in bold will not be counted.
Players may choose to leave their vote with another player. To do so, post in bold "Leave vote with <player name>".
Players can vote for themselves. Be careful when leaving a vote with another player.
Double voters are considered to have 2 votes. If a game effect doubles the vote of a player with a double vote, that player will have 4 votes for the day. If the effect says "Add an extra vote," that player will only receive 1 extra vote.
Majority - Standard majority will be 1/2 the number of remaining players rounded up. Special majorities will be the number (1/3, 2/3, etc) of remaining players rounded up. If the number is even, 1 will be added for majority.

3) Specific Wording and Definitions

"May" - If a role says the player may do something, that player can choose to use that power or choose to take no action during the night. If no action is submitted by the deadline, it will be assumed that the player will be taking no action. Note: Players may also PM the moderator that they will take no action to help speed the night phase along.
"Must" - If a role says the player must do something, that player has no choice in submitting an action. If an action is not submitted by the deadline, the action will be randomized.
"Target Player" - If a role says to choose target player(s), then the player will be treated as targeting that player.
"Once Per Game" - This is a one time effect. When used, it cannot be used again unless another game effect resets the ability.
Modkill - The moderator removes a player from the game. This may be caused by any number of reasons.
Cheating - Any player breaking a game rule is considered cheating. If a player is found cheating, that player may be subject to modkill.
Day Phase - This is the phase that the game thread is considered to be open, and all players may post in the thread.
Night Phase - This is the phase that the game thread is closed. Players cannot communicate with each other during this time unless their role states otherwise.
Phase Cycle - This includes an entire day and night.

4) Communication

Town Members - Town Members may only speak to each other in the game thread and only during the day phase. Some powers and abilities may override this.
Mafia Members - Mafia Members are provided with a proboard courtesy of the moderator. The mafia members may talk to each other on this board at any time during the game. Mafia members may private message each other at any time. The moderator is not required to be copied in on these messages.
Cultists - Cultists are provided with a proboard courtesy of the moderator. The cultists may talk to each other on this board at any time during the game. Cultists may private message each other at any time. The moderator is not required to be copied in on these messages.
Mason Groups - Mason Groups may talk in private outside of the game thread at any time. The moderator is not required to be copied in on these messages. A mason group may choose to make a proboard for ease of communication, but this is neither required nor provided by the moderator.
Note Passing - Note Passing is to be done through the moderator. Players, unless the role states otherwise, are not allowed to communicate directly outside of the game with other players.
Private Messaging - Contacting a player outside of the day thread without a role that specifically allows the player to do so is considered cheating.
Post Editing - Unless a role specific allows editing, once something is posted, it cannot be edited. Editing a post is considered cheating.
Game Removal - Once a player is removed from the game (through death or other means), that player may no longer post in the thread or proboards until after the game is over unless that player has a role that specifically allows this.
Outside Game Discussion - Players are not to talk about any ongoing games outside of the game threads, even in the event of Game Removal. This is considered cheating.
Copy and Paste - Unless otherwise stated, players may not copy and paste anything from a private message sent to them by the moderator. This is considered cheating.

5) Specific Power Rules

Bulletproof - A bulletproof status will only protect players from kills during the night phase.
Doctor - A doctor will only protect players from kills during the night phase.
Guide - Guides prevent Misdirection, Controlled Misdirection, Magnets, Role-Bocking powers, Bus-Drives, Jail-Keeping, and Pushers.
Jail-Keep - Jail-Keeping removes a player from the game during the night phase. Only the jail-keeper's action on that player will succeed, unless the player is guided.
Lawyer - Lawyers may increase or decrease a player's lynch threshold. Unless otherwise stated, lawyer effects are permanent.

6) Miscellaneous

Order of Operations - Actions go off in this order:
Guides(if not misdirected or roleblocked), Misdirects (if not roleblocked), blocks, everything else, kills.
Inactivity - Players who are inactive for 2 phase cycles will be replaced. After 2 phase cycles and until replaced, actions for that player's role will be randomized if a required action, and unused if not a required action.
Mafia is a game, and like all games, it is meant to be fun. Players will get paranoid, stabbed in the back, make foolish choices, and even taunt other players. If the game starts becoming stressful or aggravating, step away for some time until attitudes calm back down.
Have fun! This is a game, and that is the main purpose! What's said and done in a mafia game should be for fun's sake.

Night 0: It Begins

A man sits alone at a desk, grim, resolute. He had tried everything he could think of to remove the corruption. He reported it to anyone who would listen, he rose above it, and was the best cop he could be. He tried confronting the dirty cops, and yet it was still going on. Why would no one in the world stop this? You can't just go about making people disappear, and then strip them of organs before incinerating the body. That's not policework. That's just murder, theft, and covering it up. It stops tonight. He loaded his gun as vowed to remove the cancer murdering The Town. In order to defeat a monster, sometimes one must become one...

Later, across The Town...

A homeless man waits at the corner, asking for change from any passerby. A middle aged cop offers to take him to get a hot meal, and after the homeless man has his back turned, he is clubbed, and thrown in the back of a squad car. Before the middle aged man can get into his car, he is pressed up against the door with a sudden burst of force. Someone is on top of him, and they are seething with rage.

"Captain Adam Steel, your crimes against The Town have gone on long enough. You have been found guilty of kidnapping, extortion, desecration of human remains, and murder."

"Son? What madness is this?"

"No madness father. Enough is enough, and your people's depraved way of life ends, starting tonight." The younger man says resolutely.

"That 'depraved way of life' is what keeps The Town going. Without it, we would have fallen apart years ago the gangs, the violence. They were destroying it, and we removed them despite it not being exactly legal. It was the right thing to do."

"And selling their organs?" the younger man says, spitting in revulsion.

"We had to fund The Town somehow. You don't exactly see big business coming here to resurrect this place."

"There's always another way. Give up the path of darkness. Turn yourself in."

"And why would I do that?" the father asks, incredulously.

"So that I don't have to kill you."

"You don't have the guts." and with that, the father pushes against son, and the two fall into a heap. The son's drawn gun falls between them. The two dive for it, and a shot is heard a moment later.

The papers in the morning would report the death of longtime cop Captain Adam Steel.

Night 0 has ended and Day 1 has begun! With 13 players, 7 are required for majority! You have 24 hours until night falls...
