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 mod of the game (Glotnot). 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 mod 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 mod (Glotnot), 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 mod 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 mod consider important enough to be in the write ups. Whenever possible, try to get PMs into the mod 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 mod (Glotnot) 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 mod (Glotnot) 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 ->

[Glotnot]

It was a cold night.

A cold night indeed.

A night so cold, a night so bold, one could hardly breathe.

Okay, we’re done with rhyming now.

Oh look! A piggy!

*Oink oink oink*

Awww how you doin’ Pig?

*Oink oink*

I hear you pig. I hear you. Tell me all about it.

*Oink oink oink oink*

*sniff*

*Oink oink oink oink oink oink oink*

Shhh, Pig. Shhh. It’s all over now. That’ll do, Pig. That’ll do.

Oh look a bee!

*Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

Oh look, a spaceship!

*Nyewwwww vrooooosh*

OH NO! LOOK OUT!

*COLLISION!*

Oh my god, that bee is spinning wildly out of control! It’s going to- oh look, the spaceship crashed.

I wonder what’s inside?

"THAT HIDEOUS EARTH BEE CRASHED AN IRKEN FOOD RUNNER! BUT HOW?!"

Yeah, I know what you mean, it’s a sticky situation. But those Earth Bees’, they’re just-

“NOTHING CAN CRASH AN IRKEN FOOD RUNNER! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!”

Well, I think that little bee just did, so-

Oh, look. Everyone else crashed to.

*looks around the first ship, noticing several others in the vicinity*

Would you look at that. What a coincidence.

And hey, most of the people here have guns. Really big guns.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

*runs off*

---

Well, it looks as though a fight IS going to happen. And whether or not you know, you’re a part of that fight. Some of you, innocent bystanders, others, soldiers on the warfront. Only you know (most of the time).

Regardless of your place in this war, it’s clear that a war WILL happen, as the crashed aliens scurry to plant themselves and create their respective hideouts and bases of operation.

And in a time of war, what can we do?

...Prepare yourselves.

THIS!

IS!

I'mma consider this my second game, as I said, since I never got the chance to play in Futurama. Anyway, just to get things started-

Vote: Wrestling Century

*Waits for him to vote on me in retaliation.*

[Glotnot]

Vote Count

Wrestling Century - 1 - Zeel1


It is now Day Phase. With 25 players remaining, it's 13 to lynch.

You have until 5:00 PM EST, 10:00 PM GMT, Monday, March 1st to achieve a lynch. If no lynch is achieved by that time, a no-lynch will be declared.

Saw this on the first page, I wonder who would fall into this? My reason for saying this is in every game that I have been in with Prague he has talked a bluestreak and in this game not so much. So I wonder what roles are not allowed to post.

I've yet to see a role where someone could never post ever, but I have seen some pretty deabilitating post limits. To up and make it so they can't talk at all, though, doesn't seem fair..

As for Prauge - I don't think I've seen him visit the topic yet, maybe he doesn't know it's on..

I still wonder if this has something to do with the inactivity that we have had in this game.

To those familiar with the subject matter, are there characters that cannot talk?

[Destiny]

No mod would include a role that could not talk. Cordelia couldn't always talk during the day in Sunnydale, but that was ultimately the player's decision.

[Gabbo]

I have been a bit quiet, but that's a combination of things. It's my last few weeks at University so I've been doing dissertation work non-stop. Also I know zero about the source material so most of the time I have no clue what's going on. Both of those reasons were why I was reluctant to sign-up for this game, I only did it because Glot needed the numbers.

That and I have no active ability, so no information to share. I wish I could be more of a help. So frustrating. I don't mind saying I'm bulletproof. Not fully, but obviously I don't want to go into the mechanics of it, because it opens me right up. Maybe killers will come my way and test it tonight. I'm on your side though, no aliens, no hosting virus', no non-earth malarky. Humanity all the way.

Someone said something about not voting for Trypio, I also didn't vote for WC. Get those cogs turning... Very clever way of balancing the role.

I know what SO and DWW are hinting at, and it may be true but don't rule out a little scum plot. However, I did figure there were 3 or 4 of them as soon as he opened his mouth. I am still very weary of them all since Anti speculated they are 'upgraders'. Interesting that SO featured on both lists too, would a don be a killer?

That said, I know I'm safe and will give DWW and SO the benefit of the doubt (maybe someone should look into them tonight, watchers etc?), so that leaves me with PP and Destiny. Destiny said something, I vaguely recall, so...

vote: praguepride

Rare to have two uses of forensic investigator roles though. Rare, indeedy. Unless we're still looking for the same killer with the same DNA...

[Gabbo]

Wait a second, SuperOwens & D_w_w you're both trying to capture Zim, yeah?

[SuperOwens]

Cant speak for D_w_w but i'm not, in fact I would venture that was another of WC's little don't kill me ploys. Doesn't fit in with my role at all.

And to clear something up, I cant talk to anybody outside the thread. I have no idea who else may be green. I just picked up on D_w_w because of the whole WC thing. We may have completely different win conditions, I have been starnded here for 7 years and just want to get off.

I still can't provide any useful info, but perhaps tomorrow. In the meantime, I'd like to pressure SO & d_dubs more but I've given SO a free pass this game and that wouldn't be fair to d-dub to pressure one and not the other.

I trust d-dubs more but then again, SO could easily be lying and just being "yep, I'm the same as you, uh-huh" even though he is lying out his ass and has no idea what d-dubs is.

So, for those of you more familiar with the series then I am, are there extraterrestrials that aren't invaders?

As for Trypio, it didn't look like scum lost a kill, so perhaps Zim is the mafia don (would make sense as he can disguise himself as a human child so the don powers make sense) and if the invaders were lumped into one big group, that cuold have the almighty tallest as a hitter.

Again, this seems unusual given the source, but there wasn't a lack of kills last night. What WAS interesting was that N1 there was only one death while N2 there was two. Perhaps a roleblocker stopped the SK or a protector chose wisely...

The two kills this night caught me by surprise as well. There has to be some type of reason, it fluctuated from night 1 to 2.

By God! That's almost as ingenius a scum ploy as the one I made up in my head when MJD used me being barely inactive in the Futurama game as reasoning for suspecting that iMac was the don! Oh yes, I pondered for quite a while what MJD was implying when he talked about me, and I came to the most obvious conclusion - I had my hard-drive explode on purpose, so that my role could get away with not talking for a number of phases! Then, when iMac replaces me, all suspicion of me lying goes out the window, and people feel so bad for suspecting me, that they never question the don for the rest of the game's entirity! Of course! It's foolproof!

FOOLPROOF I SAY!


...but um, yeah, that aside - if we're willing to beleive SO for now, I'd be cool with pressing TakerNGN74 again. Don't really have much reason to beleive SO, though, is the thing..

LOL

Interesting.

DWW and SO, I'm willing to give a pass to at this time (although it's worrisome to see one person on it twice).

PP, Gabbo, and Destiny obviously need to be questioned however. Would like to hear a little from all of them before making a decisions myself. With Gabbo already giving something, PP, Destiny, anything you could give to ease suspicions on yourselves. Not asking for a claim or anything, just something.
