First thing's first: if you're new to the game, I suggest you check out the sticky at the top of the mafia sub-forum. Also, I have a softspot for this flash tutorial originally found on mafiascum.
~Rules~
(inspired by Xylthixlm)
[1] I will enforce the rules strictly, because I'm evil like that.
[2] Your vote must be in bold and at the start of a line. You don't need to unvote before voting, though you can if you want.
[3] Lynching requires a simple majority. You may vote no lynch, which also requires a simple majority. You can post during twilight.
[4] Once your death scene has been posted, you're dead. Dead people don't make forum posts. If you make a post after you are dead, I will hunt you down and deliver unto you nasty nasty Geddingsworth style deth deth deth. HUNT YOU DOWN!
[5] Deadlines will be arbitrarily selected be me, usually about a week after the day has started (though I reserve the right to set one at any time). If the game reaches the stated deadline, I'll pretend everyone not voting doesn't exist and check again for a majority. If I find one, that person gets lynched. If I don't, there's no lynch for the day.
[6] Try to post at least once every 48 hours. For serious post at least once every 72 hours. If you don't, I'll hunt you down. And prod you.
[6b] If you're going to be without computer access for more than 48 hours, let me know ahead of time either in the thread or by PM. Remember, people: if we work together we can have a replacement free game, but that can only happen with your help.
[7] No funny stuff like invisible text, tiny text, cryptography, or acronym claims.
[8] Don't edit posts. Don't quote PMs. Don't talk about the game outside the thread, unless your role says you can.
[9] If my vote count doesn't seem to reflect your vote, just revote.
[10] You may not talk outside of the thread to anyone about anything that goes on in this game. Period. Whether you're dead, or they're dead, whether they're in the game or not. The only exception is if your role specifically allows it.
[11] Have fun and be nice to the other players and me, even if we don't deserve it.
If you are a vanilla townie, this is the PM you will receive:
[Player Name], you are a vanilla townie. You have no abilities beyond your vote.
The game thread is here. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Other roles will have similar formatting. All town players (that includes townies) win when all mafia players are dead. All mafia players win when all town players are dead.
Lastly, if you have any questions at all, PLEASE ASK ME. Nothing sucks more than making mistakes because you didn't ask. Also, I have very little to do with my life and love the momentary distraction of your every Basic #24 related need.
*If the images start destroying your reading experience / scrolling off the page, you can
A) turn them off and just look at the attachments.
B) widen your browser.
C) ask me to make them smaller and I will.
D) live with it.
If someone claims that they are an unlynchable, unkillable, octa-voter, with 4 daykills and 6 doc-protects, then technically lynching that person solely based on his claim would be gaming the mod, but I would be just fine doing that.
Vote blue for wanting to lynch the mod. The mod is good, the mod is great. The mod is good, the mod is great. Glory to the mod. The mod is good, the mod is great. Glory to the mod. The mod is good, the mod is great. Glory to the mod......
I'm pretty sure Ged would just mid-game switch his role to a Jester. No good would come of that.
Unvote, for no particular reason. Still trying to figure out this random stage stuff.
What did everyone have for breakfast?
unvote
he'd have to tell us there was a jester in this game before hand >_<
vote promatim for reminding me I haven't eaten breakfast
unvote.
I have no clue what the random stage is for. And I'm excited by this game concept which seems to have no flavor to it other than "you're playing mafia"
Seems like we'll be relying solely on analytical skills this time!!!
Promatim you may be ill-equipped to participate ... hehe
What benefit is there for a Scum to specifically make such a list?
I have a list of non-posters myself due to their lack of content in my notes.
The way I see it, giving the Town derived information is Town behavior since the Town thrives off information and the scum thrive off the Town not having information.
The easier it is for players to access the information the better off the Town is.

Unvote, Vote: Promatim
Why would a non scum make a list of nonposters? What is his reasoning?
I was basically responding to this. I thought it was weird that Blue was calling out Eric Draven for not posting yet, with the game only a few hours in. Not suspicious weird, just confusing.
The posting list was to show that half of the players hadn't posted yet. There was nothing to gain from it except showing Blue that six people hadn't posted.
On the flipside, what would be the scum reason to post a list of 6 non-posters a few hours into the game? If you'll look at my list, I made no accusations. Scum don't do random, pointless things during RVS, do they? I'm seriously new at this, so if someone can explain to me why a scum would do this, I'm all ears.
Unvote, since we're out of random. I don't really get blue's list. Arsenal just seems random, shouldn't he be in neutral?
And I don't have enough experience yet to know if Eric Draven's absence is lurky or not, but I know not everyone visits forums in the middle of the day.
I have no one to FOS yet. Blue seems really pro town, although I don't like her fingering me, obviously. X3 Agreed on Burnari feeling pro-town, but those are just feelings. Ironically, no one except Blue has done anything super pro town yet.

I'll be sad if people don't start calling The Chain Veil "Fleetwood Mac."
Okay. Unvote, Vote: No lynch
Everyone is so happy and we'd all be sad to see anyone persecuted.
Actually, no lynch makes me sound like scum
Edit by way of double post whatever. No Lynch would actually earn a FOS if it didn't seem like you're about as new as I am. I believe that you're doing no lynch for good reasons, but no lynch on day one is generally pretty bad.
It's actually better to run up random wagons for a while than it is to suggest a no lynch on day one. It basically gives the mafia a free pass. A random witch hunt is a lot more productive than what we were doing this morning.
Don't freak out on account of Blue putting us on a scum list. What Blue is doing is exactly what Exham said, getting us out of random. He's prodding me, prodding you, to see what we do. Trying to get Eric to post. From reading other basics, essentially, someone has to do -something- or we'll just sit around in RVS all day.

But are you being suspicious? Perhaps, we must find out.
I'm cool being on the scum list. Y'know, just being on the scum list gives me an air of awesomeness. Right? Like, I could be suspicious, or not, or maybe.
Wow, I play this game pretty weirdly.

Vote blue for being serious during RVS
Seriously though.

This thread is moving too fast. We should slow it down and give everyone a chance to voice their opinion on the matter
vote Eric Draven
Says the person with over half the posts so far.
I hadn't really looked at the timestamps, but yeah, I guess day 1 just started.
unvote, vote Buranri
It's hard to get as excited about this game as my first game of mafia (this is my second game)
Let's lynch someone:

Just realized that lynching myself is counterproductive.

Unvote, Vote Msteg for not getting an avatar for the game.
For having too colorful of an avatar.
