Sign Ups: Host

[Imarevenant]

All right sign ups are open, there are 20 roles. Once those roles are filled anyone else wanting to play will be put on a reserve list. The game will start around Monday the 25th; perhaps earlier if I can get something straightened out.

THE OFFICIAL RULES (Read or Die!)

HOW TO PLAY:

ROLES: Every player has been given a role, each with it’s own abilities (or lack thereof). Your role PM will explain what it does if you are meant to know. You do not need to reveal your role to other players nor will we do so in the in-game write ups. Of course, you can choose to reveal information about your role if you wish to if you feel it would help you to reach your win condition. Jut remember that any information you reveal can also be used against you, so claiming is entirely at your own risk. If you want to use your ability, PM the mods of the game (Imarevenant and ShadowedFlames). Do NOT post it in the thread unless your role PM states otherwise.

PHASES: The game is split into two phases, Day and Night. The game begins during the day phase with all players (Town and Mafia alike) posting in the thread deciding who to lynch. Lynching is the town’s main way of eliminating mafia, so be sure to examine everything that your fellow players say in order to find inconsistencies, lies, dodgy voting patterns and anything else that could incriminate people. There may also be clues in the end of phase write ups, but relying on those is not advised as they may be veiled, misleading or otherwise unreliable. Day phases last approximately 48 hours or until a consensus is reached on who to lynch. Night phases last approximately 24 hours but may end earlier if all night activities are completed. If you have an optional ability and choose not to use it, please inform the mods via PM so that they know not to wait on your ability.

VOTING: All voting and game related discussion is to occur within the game thread. Town players may discuss who they think are Mafia, and Mafia members should be trying to avoid being lynched by bluffing and blending in and generally trying to not get lynched. To vote on anyone, post VOTE: Username (MUST BE IN BOLD!). You can also change your vote by typing CHANGE VOTE: Username (AGAIN IN BOLD!). You can also change your vote to nobody by typing CHANGE VOTE: No Vote (STILL IN BOLD!). Your last option is to vote for a no lynch, meaning that you actively choose to not lynch anyone. To do so simply type VOTE: No lynch (BOLDED OBVIOUSLY!). All votes post in the thread for your vote to count and it must be in bold. If you vote within a quote then your vote won’t be counted, so if you mess up voting and quote it to edit it then it will not count.

DAY PHASES: A Day Phase is over whenever a person obtains votes from more than 50% of the total number of players remaining, at which point they are lynched. It can also end if the time expires before a lynch is reached, at which point a No Lynch will be declared. There are abilities out there that can change votes such as vote manipulators, multi-voters and no-voters so vote counts may not always be as they seem. When a person dies their role title will be revealed for all to see in the end of day write up.

NIGHT PHASES: Night Phases begin after a day phase has ended. During this time most abilities will be sent in to the mods (Imarevenant and ShadowedFlames), with the Mafia usually sending in their kills while the town send in names of people they want to use their abilities on, such as investigate or protect. The night phase will end once all abilities have been sent in or when the time limit expires, at which point the mods will do a write up of the night’s activities. The write up will reveal what players have been killed any some other events that happen depending on what the mods consider important enough to be in the write ups. Whenever possible, try to get PMs into the mods as soon as possible after the start of the night phase in order to keep the game moving along at a quick pace.

Once night has ended, a new day begins and the cycle repeats itself until win conditions have been reached. The Town generally wins when there are no threats left to them, the Mafia generally win when their numbers are equal to or greater than the remaining non-Mafia players. Remember, this is a team effort so if you think sacrificing someone may help your cause then go ahead.


GENERAL MAFIA GAME RULES:

No players are allowed to edit their posts EVER!. Whether it be to correct a typo or to remove some accidentally incriminating things someone has said, no editing of posts is allowed. While mods may choose to be lenient, the standard penalty for anyone caught editing a post is a mod kill.

All players should play to their role/alignment and play to win. While there are likely to be times that you have to do things against your best interest, any players who deliberately go against their win conditions risk being banned from future games for failing to play to their role and going against the spirit of the game.

Players are only allowed to post their role title from their role PM, that is the bit that says you are “Town Aligned Protector” or something similar. You can paraphrase things that your PM says but you are not allowed to directly quote anything else other than the role title from your PM, which is also the only thing players will see when you are dead. If the mods catch you posting anything that closely resembles what your role PM says then it will be grounds for a mod kill. You have been warned!

In game “role bets” such as “I will never play again if…” is strictly prohibited. If you do this then you will at minimum be replaced as soon as possible, with a maximum penalty of a mod kill. It may also lead to a ban from future games, mods don’t want players who will bet on things outside their games in order to try and prove something in a game so just don’t do it.

Though we can’t force you to post, all mods love to see active participants in their games. We advise everyone to check in at least once a day, as games can move pretty fast and it can be easy to fall behind if you are not on regularly.

Though this may also be a mafia game, try not to postwhore in the thread. Where possible try to keep things relevant to the game that is being played and try not to let arguments get out of hand. This game stirs up some passionate arguments and we understand that this will happen, but if anything turns into a personal attack then it ruins the fun for everyone. Be considerate. :)

Unless your role PM specifically states otherwise, no players are allowed to talk about their role, game plan, alignment, win condition or basically anything game related outside of the game thread. While mods can’t easily enforce this rule, any communication about the game outside of the game thread goes against the spirit of mafia games and spoils the game. Anyone caught doing this WILL be mod-killed. This is your only warning!

Once you are dead, you stay dead. You will not be allowed to participate in the game thread or continue to talk to people outside the thread that you could talk to before. So if you are a Mafia player who dies, you are NOT allowed to continue talking about the game to your Mafia team mates. No dead players will receive any extra information from the mods (Imarevenant and ShadowedFlames) when they die either. If you are dead, try not to post anything in the game thread as anything you say could be an unnecessary distraction to those still playing, though a quick post going “Oooooooo I’m a ghost!!” is generally okay, no-one is allowed to leave cryptic messages from the dead, notes on their corpses or anything like that. If you are dead, your contribution to the game is over.

Talking to other dead players is also frowned upon, as many games have been known to feature a revive type ability or need to have players replaced. Talking to other players outside the game means that these abilities can’t be used properly and that you can’t be used as a replacement, which can still have an impact on the game in play. So don’t do it!

When it comes to mafia games, nothing is ever as it seems. There can be things about your role that you don’t know about, other people can bluff about their abilities, people can lie, events can happen and write ups can be read in many different ways. If you have any questions about what is happening then you can get in contact with the mods (Imarevenant and ShadowedFlames) via PM, and if we can clarify anything for you then we will do what we can. But there are many reasons why we might not be able to, and in any such eventuality you will get a post simply stating the following -> :cool:

Example Town Role:

You are: Example Man, Kuhlvult Defense Systems Aligned Example

You have one goal in your life, and that is to be the example for all others to look too. Knowing someone else is following your lead gives you that warm fuzzy feeling down in your neither regions that you so desire. For the purposes of this game, you will show the town an example of a basic townie role PM.

You win when all threats to the compound have been eliminated.

[GruntMark]

I'll play.

[mistaken]

in!

[Jaded]

I'm still alive in the big game (I hope... lemme just check!)

Yeah, still alive in the big game so will allow others to get in first. Can you put me on the reserve list though, that way if it doesn't fill or anyone drops out I'll jump in? :)

[BlueStar]

Reserve list please, for the same reasons as Jaded.

[eayragt]

In, please.

[petrija]

I'll play if the dead players have all joined and signups are slow.

I don't wanna stop anyone who's not in a game from playing, that's all.

But I do want to play.

[SuperOwens]

I love Rev games!

But, still in Pokemon. So, will see how the sign-ups go first.

[i effin rule]

In. May not be super active, but in nonetheless.

[Destiny]

Please count me in. I died very early in both Scrubs and Pokemon so am looking forward to playing this game.

[mjdgoldeneye]

[moon_lit_tears]

[bak42]

In game “role bets” such as “I will never paly again if…” is strictly prohibited.

Is anyone ever going to fix that typo?

[Imarevenant]

Is anyone ever going to fix that typo?

Since it means so much to you, it is fixed :p

[Waghlon]

Mmmmmm im in...

[Wrestling Century]

I'm in. This time I hope I don't get killed in the first day phase! :p

[Wallbanger]

Oh heck, I probably shouldn't, but I'm in.

[Nedew]

I'm still alive in the big game (I hope... lemme just check!)

Yeah, still alive in the big game so will allow others to get in first. Can you put me on the reserve list though, that way if it doesn't fill or anyone drops out I'll jump in? :)

Reserve list please, for the same reasons as Jaded.

These apply to my situation.

[SuperOwens]

This a barebones game Rev?

[Imarevenant]

This a barebones game Rev?

There is a story, but it's of my own creation; so nobody is going to have an advantage over anyone else because they know the subject matter or anything like that.

[SuperOwens]

There is a story, but it's of my own creation; so nobody is going to have an advantage over anyone else because they know the subject matter or anything like that.

I hate you :D

So tempted to sign up, but not fair on those who are out of pokemon. I know when I wake up this will be full :)

WC - You better play properly this time!! ;)

[Destiny]

It's great that we're around half-way through sign-ups already, I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into this.

[Comradebot]

Bah, I'll play. Lord knows I'll be dead in Pokemon in the next three phases.

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Sign me up!

[Tha Black Phenom]

Sign me up!

And where the hell did you come from :p

[Destiny]

Awesome, that's another name added onto the list. Hopefully I can put on a better performance this game.

[Imarevenant]

I hate you :D

lol, just do it, you know you want to :p

[Destiny]

Aye, just sign up SuperOwens. Don't worry too much about feeling sorry for the people that have died in Pokemon.

[400 ml]

/in pls.

[Destiny]

Awesome, that's another name now added to the ever-increasing list of players.

[Tha Black Phenom]

Screw it, add me in.

[mistaken]

looks like a healthy turn out.

I hope that tew 2010 brings some new faces down here, as well as the return of some vets!

[praguepride]

In, if there's space.

Reserves if there isn't.

[moon_lit_tears]

"sigh" I love games like this. :)


In, if there's space.

Reserves if there isn't.

Oh no!

[Crychon]

It has been a little while, but I think I'll go ahead and say in.

[moon_lit_tears]

It has been a little while, but I think I'll go ahead and say in.


Yeah I am glad you're here. If you are still around can you send me a link to the site you mentioned. I tried to find it, don't ask how that turned out. :D

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

And where the hell did you come from :p

I've been checking the forums every so often to jump back in, but kept missing signups or just didn't have interest in the game- but with Rev as the mod (did great writeups and balanced a really tricky game with Marvel mafia, which was a fun one) doing a short form game with an original story, not to mention the players list is looking solid... It was definitely time to come back!

[Destiny]

Well personally I think it's great to have you back. It obviously would have been great to see you play Sunnydale though.

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Well personally I think it's great to have you back. It obviously would have been great to see you play Sunnydale though.

That was one I would have signed up for, just read through the thread a bit and it looked like a pretty interesting concept.

[SuperOwens]

You all had you chance!!!!

Im In. Yeeehaaaa!

[d_w_w]

In. Or reserves, if the game is full.

[BHK1978]

I would like to play only if you can not fill your spots up with players not currently in the big game.

If you fill up put me on the bench (reserves) please.

[Crychon]

Yeah I am glad you're here. If you are still around can you send me a link to the site you mentioned. I tried to find it, don't ask how that turned out. :D

Actually, it looks like they took down the couple of episodes they had before, sadly.

[cyberkitten01]

What's Host then? A TV show I get the impression. If so, count me out as I've never heard of it! :eek:

If it was some Biblical themed game I'd be all over it, heheh

[moon_lit_tears]

Actually, it looks like they took down the couple of episodes they had before, sadly.

Ok thank you anyway! I will try google or Ugh Youtube.

[petrija]

I believe there's one spot left, if so, I'm in.

[machinesxe]

Missed it again...

[Imarevenant]

What's Host then? A TV show I get the impression. If so, count me out as I've never heard of it! :eek:

Nope not a tv show of any kind. It's just a little sci-fi story; the night 0 write up will set things up though.

[moon_lit_tears]

Wow the game filled up quick. I can not wait for this to start.

[Arrows]

If needed, put me down as reserve.

[lprock]

If needed, put me down as reserve.

[Imarevenant]

Anyway will have roles and some background write ups for you tomorrow and/or Friday weather permitting.

Looking like a Sunday start.

[Imarevenant]

You should have all received your Role PM's. Please let me know if you were supposed to have received one but didn't.

You are scum sir! :cool:

[lprock]

When the signups for this were going on, I was in 3 mafia games. I'm now dead in all three and have been for awhile now. Someone who doesn't wanna play right now should toss their role my way. :cool:

[Destiny]

There may end up being someone who doesn't want to play. You'll have to wait and see.

[lprock]

I wait for nobody.

Unless you guys want me to wait. I'll wait for my boys.

[moon_lit_tears]

I wait for nobody.

Unless you guys want me to wait. I'll wait for my boys.

[moon_lit_tears]

Could be worst he could have just said he doesn’t care about you.
