Basic Rules:
This is a Semi-Bastard game. While I will not be outright lying to you at any time, much of the critical information on how to win this game and specific aspects of what is going on will not be public knowledge. However, your win condition provided to you in your Role PM will be accurate.
Only Experienced Mafia players will be accepted for this game (As in, you have played more than one Non-BM game).
One thing that you do know is that I will be using my Board Moderator powers to edit posts in this game.
Each of you are programs aiding the AI of
THE SYSTEM in maintaining a properly functioning computer network. Or, at least
pretending to be helping it. You will each be given your role information in your PM. Roles and their abilities are not public knowledge but may be shared by players in the thread. There is a typical Scum team in this game.
Quoting the Mod without permission results in a Modkill and a ban from the next game I run.
PMs to other players are not allowed unless your Role specifically allows it.
Days will go for 72 hours (Ignoring weekends) or until everyone has voted (if there is a long period of inactivity after everyone votes I'll end the day to keep things moving).
In the event of a tie, no lynch will occur.
Night will go for 24 hours, though that's somewhat flexible. If you do not have your action in within the 24 hours you run the risk of losing your action for the night, though. If you choose not to use your action, please send that instead of just waiting for me to get on with the night without you.
Extensions: Extensions require at least 25% of the living players requesting an extension. Votes against the extension will reduce the counted number requesting (so, of 8 players if 3 vote for an extension and one votes against it it's still 2 for, which is 25%, which grants the extension.)
Extensions will extend the day by 24 hours. No more then two extensions will be granted on any given game day.
Shortens: Shortening the day has a larger impact than Extensions, so it requires 75% of the living players requesting it to succeed. If the Game is Shortened it will end as soon as I do the tally with 75%+ players voting for it. It is possible that I will end all voting for the day but need a bit to do the final write-up, in which case further votes will not be counted that day.
All votes should be colored
red to make it easy for me to spot them.
In the event of a tie, a
No-Lynch will occur.
Speaking While Dead: The dead may post once after they have died to comment on their death. They may not provide any information about the game in this post. After this, any posting in the game before it has ended will result in a one game ban from future games. Repeated abuse, or posts that have a major impact on the game, can result in a permaban from any future games.
Some players will have special chat areas on
http://www.quicktopic.com. I will PM the appropriate link to you at the start of the game or when you die.
There will be a Dead Chat for this game to allow dead players to discuss the game as it is going on.
Event Order: The order of events is generally as follows:
Misdirection
Role-blocking
Protection
Investigations
Night Kills/Conversions
All kills will be effectively simultaneous. (I may make some literary liberties with this in the PMs, though)
