Rules Stolen from gfishfunk and tweaked a bit.
1) A full writeup of the rules can be found here: http://www.mafiascum.net/

2) When you vote, please do so by saying Vote: [Player] in bold. If you wish to change your vote, please say Change Vote: [Player] instead. Voting for 'No lynch' is a valid vote; if a majority votes for 'no lynch' then nobody will be lynched and we'll move on to the Night phase. You can vote for yourself if you choose, so be careful when leaving your vote with another player.
2b Please vote in a separate paragraph from any other writing. It helps the mod find and tally your votes more easily and prevents mistakes in that arena.
Example:

I think XXOO is scum because of XXOO reason.

Vote: XXOO

Note the separate paragraph with the post.

3) Every night you either PM me your target or PM me that you are choosing not to do an action. Some roles REQUIRE you to submit an action or target--so keep that in mind.

4) If you fail to send me a target, I'll pick one randomly. Or, perhaps, not-so-randomly. I tend to pick in favor of those who participate...plus I can be a bit of a sadist in this regard.

5) You may NOT send a PM to anyone about this game unless your role explicitly says you can. This is cheating.

6) Do NOT edit your posts in this thread. This is cheating and grounds for revocation of powers or a modkill.

7) Please do not copy-and-paste anything from any PM I send you to the thread. This is also cheating. Also, do not share your role submissions. This is frowned upon

8) Please do not post in this thread after you are killed. This, too, is cheating and can ruin the game if done wrong. Additionally, there are several possible resurrection mechanics that exist which may or may not come in to play. I do allow a one-time “Nuts, Good luck all” type post, but that is it.

9) Remember, it's just a game. You will get paranoid, you will be stabbed in the back by someone, you will see somebody do or say something stupid and want to smack them. Just breathe deep and relax. You win some, you lose some.

10) If you are inactive for more than two phase cycles, I will automatically look to replacing you. If I cannot find a replacement, I will start selecting random targets for you. This includes day phases. If you do not post during one day(except for possible silenced folks) and do not submit an action in the following night, I will replace you.

10A)Randomization procedure. Each of you are assigned a number, the number that you are listed under in the player tracking post. Your number does not change. If an action is randomized via an in-game action, I use random.org until I get a living player's number. If I randomize due to non-submitted actions, I will use random.org and obtain two valid numbers. I will then use the one most detrimental to the player in question or most amusing to the mod (usually both).

11) I am planning on a 48 hour to 72 hour cycle: 24 - 36 hours for a day or night phase depending on weekends. I will state the time length in the thread and it is your duty to ensure your actions are submitted on time. If they are late, it is up to my whim on whether to accept them. See rule number four for an insight into me.

12) gfishfunk's(and IR’s) Order of Operations- or "solving paradoxes consistently"
Jailkeep > Guide > Busdrive > Roleblock > Misdirect > Push > Hide > timestamp > all other actions.
This schematic only matters where a conflict would occur. Guide is listed nearly first to indicate that a guided action will pierce anything except jailkeep. Timestamp refers to whoever submitted their actions first.
Example: Jim RB Lolita, Lolita MDs Jim. Jim will succeed.
Example: Jim busdrives Lolita and Shaniquq, Rei busdrives Lolita and Tim. Alfanso attempts to nightkill Lolita. Who will die? It depends on which busdrive happens first. The timestamp on the submitted actions will determine. If Jim submitted his action first, then Tim will die.

13) Meta-gaming is as acceptable as other players believe it to be. They will likely lynch you or night kill you in a different game. Who am I to define the right or wrong way to play? Plus meta-gaming is the only reason I play half as well as I do on occasion.

14) I am lifting my ban on TAK clauses for this game. I know that was a sticking point in the past so I am relenting. Play the game how you want just know that all actions carry consequences both good and bad.
15) Only dead historical figures are present in this game. Bill Gates is famous and so is Barack Obama, but they’re still alive. Only dead folks are here.

Night 0: What Once Was
The man had been resting since his last adventures. He still kept in touch with some of his new contemporaries. Indeed, he found a certain woman’s company pleasant. Though she was strong-willed, he appreciated that about her. He also appreciated the qualities of several others with whome he corresponded, in the the old way.

He found this new time and era peculiar. So many devices made for doing simple, mundane and easy tasks. So many devices made for the sake of making devices. It was all strange to him. He did prefer the old ways indeed. Though letter-writing had gone out of style, he found that it tempered the mind and forced him to use rational thought. He was no stranger to losing himself in the moment. After all, certain situations required losing the methods of logic and allowing the emotional and instinctual center of the brain to take control.

Now though, he was writing his most recent letter. His correspondent was one who did not share his almost disdain for new technology, but they appreciated his viewpoint nonetheless. He knew they appreciated in fullness and sincerity rather than in the false courtesy of the modern age that he also found baffling. He understood courtesy well enough and was a prime example in truth, but he was baffled by the almost fake and shallow nature of people that seemed to be prevalent.

As he waited for the ink to dry, he sat back, contemplating the life he now led. Though he was known as a military man, his true delight was in compassion. He had just seen the necessity of war due to events that were occurring that were out of his control. His service as a military solider was something he could control and that is what he took pride in. He took on the burden so that others would not suffer so easily.

Feeling unusually weary tonight, he decided to retire early. The letter would still be there in the morning and perhaps he would think of an addendum to write. Smiling to himself he closed his eyes. He would never wake again.

Immortal_Raven is dead. He was Crazy Horse, Native American military hero of the Lakota Sioux. He was town

Day 1 begins now. You have 24 hours. With 22 players, 12 is majority.

New game! Sad to see my poor Crazy Horse go...

Hey, people.

*guitar solo*

Let's start this mafia.

Excited for this.

Dunno what that is...

Vote: CaptainNifty

My first game in a while!

You have nearly the sum-total of human knowledge at your fingertips.

I'm a Middle School/High School teacher. I won't tell you something you can easily learn on your own. Your vote is misplaced, sir.

Woo, game open. Let's see if I remember how to do this mafia thing... because my last game sure feels like ancient history.

*rimshot*

vote turdskullbrother as a matter of principle.

Yay! Finally a thing is happening!
