1) Main Rules

• A full writeup of the rules can be found here.
• Please read on for additional rules changes specific to my mod style.
• Rules may be updated periodically, specifically Power Rules.
• If rorschachparadox happens by some miracle to win, he, instead, loses.

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. Bulletproof status may also be circumvented depending on other roles.
• Clue Cop - A Clue Cop may copy/paste any clue given as a result of using the Clue Cop power.
• Controlled Misdirect - A Controlled Misdirect will only yield reverse tracking and tracking results on the first target chosen.
• Doctor - A doctor will only protect players from kills during the night phase.
• Encourager - An Encourager will give another player an extra action during the night phase. Unless otherwise stated, an Encourager's action is performed during the day phase and cannot be affected by other powers.
• Guide - Guides prevent Misdirection, Controlled Misdirection, Magnets, and Role-Blocking powers. Bus-Drives, Jail-Keeping, and Pushers will override a Guide power.
• Unblockable - If a power specificaly uses the word unblockable, nothing can stop it. It will work exactly like the user wants.
• 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.
• Lawyer - Lawyers may increase or decrease a player's lynch threshold. Unless otherwise stated, lawyer effects only last until one phase cycle.
• Silence - Silence effects prevent a player from posting during the day. Unless a role specifically states otherwise, a player who is silenced cannot be lynched.
• Investigative Powers- If a role mentions investigative powers, this includes cops of any kind, trackers of any kind, and lie detectors.

6) Miscellaneous

• Order of Operations - In general, roles that change who you target come before blocking powers, with an exception being in the case that the block targets the target change power player. Anytime this causes a player to target themselves with a power which can't or would cause the earlier opperation to fail, fail themselves.
• 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.
• Mafia Actions - Final Mafia actions will be be expected to be submitted by the Don on their provided proboard. In the event that they are not submitted in time, I will use whatever the most recently discussed actions were in the thread for the respective Day/Night.
• 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

He was so proud of his little brother. His presentation was a spectacular success and had impressed everyone! His brother would be joining him at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology and finally make something of himself!

BOOM!

The institute was in flames. Something must have accidentaly gone wrong, and the building was an inferno. His professor and mentor was still in there. As much as his little brother didn't want him to go, there was no way he could stand around and do nothing. He had to help.

Rushing back into the building, he searched around. The smoke was thick and the fire hot but he would not give up, could not give up, not eveBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Girathon is dead! He was Tadashi (Town), older brother of Hiro and friend to all.

Day 1 begins now! You have approximately 24 hours. With 6 players, 4 is a majority.

First? Hooray, new mafia.

Second in, and ready to get this game rolling!

Mafia!!! No way!

So, rorschach, gfishfunk, and Capt have not checked in yet. I think they're all scum.

So, Linkor, what's your alignment this time?

I cannot speak for the others (because they have not posted on our forum yet) but I am certainly not scum.

Sweet, new game!

Day 1 lynch on Linkor for old times sake?

How retro. Lets do it.

here and town

And so much for hoping for a new beginning.. Since day 1 lynching me is on the table, I solemnly swear:
I will not spill my alignment in any future posts! Although I am town.

What about any past posts?

That's just what a mafioso would say.

I hardly think that counts as "old times' sake." I've only been playing mafia since 2011 and it's a recent trend for me.
