Hello, residents of Cyan's head! There are some of you who are plotting to overthrow mafia as we know it and create imbalanced games! It's up to you to determine which concepts are threatening to do the impossible!
This is Cyan's Impossible Mafia (Cyan's Pick).
1) When you are dead, you may make one "bah" or "go town" post. That is all.
2) Do not edit your post. Do not quote any private messages, including Role PMs. Do not make out-of-game wagers based on in-game information. Do not threaten to be modkilled. You will be modkilled if you do any of those things.
3) No crypto-claiming or crypto-text.
4) Everyone has the power to vote. Vote in bold or your vote does not count.
5) You do not need to unvote before changing your vote.
6) It takes a majority to lynch, and 50% to end a day with no lynch.
7) Players with more than one night ability may use all night abilities in a single night unless otherwise stated.
8) The moderator will not answer game-related questions in the thread. If you have a question, send the moderator a PM.
9) Knowledge of Cyan is not necessary to play. However, that knowledge will make the game more exciting.
10) You must set yourself to be invisible for the entire duration of the game (User Control Panel > Edit Options > Use Invisible Mode).
11) Have fun.
Each game day, the town will have 7 Activity Points (AP).
For every full real life day (from 12:00 AM EST to 11:59 PM EST) in which there are less than 10 posts to the game thread, the town will lose 1 AP. If the town reaches 0 AP without a lynch, the game day will end with no lynch.
* One player multi-posting in a row counts as one post.
* Posts by non-players (game mod, forum mods, spammers, etc.) do not count toward the post total.
* US holidays and US holiday weekends do not count towards AP loss.
It is the players' responsibility, not the moderator's, to request prods on lurking players. If a player is inactive for more than 48 hours without a given reason, another player may publicly request a prod of that player. If the inactive player does not respond to the prod within 48 hours, the player will be replaced. If a role ever needs a second replacement, that role will be modkilled instead.
1. Immunities
2. Controlling another player's actions
3. First strike non-killing actions
4. Gaining actions
5. Losing actions
6. Redirecting / replacement effects
7. Roleblocking
8. Protecting
9. Rescuing / Reviving
10. Sending items or messages
11. First strike killing actions
12. Killing actions
13. Gathering information
14. Anything else
Nothing will ever be handled in "timestamp" order.

Archmage Eternal, Cyan, mafia godfather cop, lynched Day 1.
AlphaInsidious, Seppel, mafia ANYTHING, killed Night 1.
Puddlejumper, DYH, mafia untargetable self-watcher, lynched Day 2.
Ambush Krotiq makes me laugh so much. I keep rereading the card and it keeps not having Flash. In what sense is this an ambush again? I just have visions of this huge Krotiq poorly concealed in some bushes, feeling slightly sad that his carefully planned ambushes never seem to work.
Lies! -I'm Buffy Summers, town tracker. I used my ability on you and saw that you didn't use any abilities before the game started. My flavor is I was sucked through a mysterious space-time portal and I'm here to kill all the vampires, and my tracking ability is a combination of my Slayer and Native American skills.
Well I'm impatient. Is everyone Cyan or is it just me?

Well, the setup definetely seems interesting, even if I have absolutely no idea what is going on.
You think there's something "going on?" Eh? EH!

Wit's End is the PERFECT answer to your opponent's Monomania however.
Just hold on to your Wit's End when they Monomania, so you can Wit's End them on your next turn!!!
I think this is fairly reminiscent of the "Jace Battles" we have seen in past standards.. My guess is we will soon witness the great Monomania-Wit's End battles.

Thanks, Archmage Eternal for the inspiration on that one.

Why are you voting him for responding, whatever the way, to your fishing?
Yeah - that's kinda where I was going with that. Along with the fact we're 30 posts into the game and someone's getting their serious-face on already. I miss the days of 200 post RVSes.
Are we really going to give a blanket condemnation to "fishing" this game?
I voted for the only thing that stands out to at this time - TFF took three posts to give an answer whereas everyone else either blew it off, joked a little, or called me a sad sack of candy.
Depends on what you mean by condemnation. Fishing is not, and never has been, a huge tell, but it's the kind of thing townies shouldn't be doing. So you might condemn poor play by losing respect for a player, or using his poor play against him as a metagame tell. But as far as seriously voting for that player to be lynched? That's a different kind of condemnation altogether.
Wit's End is the PERFECT answer to your opponent's Monomania however.

That's sort of the point. Fishing (along with OMGUS, lurking, etc.) are all tells that people have a tendency to throw around haphazardly, but are all extremely situational. Anyone using "fishing" as a generic scummy thing to do is being shortsighted, whether it was a bad thing to do or not.
Aside from that, I didn't even fish. My role name is Cyan and the sample role is Cyan. I'm taking the leap of faith that everyone's role name is Cyan - which makes it just about the most useless and not telling factoid there is. For someone to say "I'm not Cyan" tells literally nothing about their role other than it's different than my role name and the sample PM's role name.
So, what, everyone just keeps chatting back and forth and from that, somehow, someone will end up with a majority vote against him/herself?
Aren't all Mafia games essentially this? At least on Day 1?

I think it stems from the recent upswing of players who spam throughout. Others just don't want to deal with it longer than they have to.
But, there are none of them in here, thanks to Cyan!!

Why did you feel it was necessary to seriously vote now anyway? We still have some players who haven't even checked in yet.

True, and the type of fishing he did is null at best...but I'm not liking this push on TFF for responding.

Why wouldn't I "seriously vote"? It seems stranger to me to wait for everyone to post some inane RVS spam and then coming back to it afterwards...
And for that matter, I'm not voting because he responded to my question. I'm voting for him because he took a few hours to post a carefully worded response after a few other spammy posts. It simply stands out as a bizarre need to respond.
