Really Neato Mafia sign up thread

[Excellen Browning]

Hello. This is the sign up thread for really neato mafia, which is basically an adaptation of classical mafia, the way it was played first, for forum play. Before you go all "well we tried that before and it didn't work" I am completely aware of this, and I've obviously adapted the rules to make the game not inherently imbalanced.

This game will be hosted by me, and co hosted by eclipse.

On to the rules.

1. This is a 9 player game

2. This game allows for contact outside the game thread

3. Everyone is a vanilla

4. This is a town versus mafia game

5. Instead of the preset cycle of day-night, a voting system is used:

5.1. The game will begin in day phase and everyone has three voting options:

##Vote: Player

,

##vote: end phase

and

##Vote: null

5.1.1. You may only vote for one player at a time, you may not simultaneously vote for a player and vote to end the phase

5.1.2.

##Vote: null

serves as an unvote for both other

5.1.3.

##Vote: No lynch

is not a valid vote in this game

5.1.4.

##Vote: Player

Is obviously a lynch vote for this player

.

5.2. As soon as the lynch votes for one player reach a majority, this player will be lynched.

5.2.1. Majority is defined as more than 50% of all votes. (when there's an even number of players, half of the votes plus one means majority etc.)

5.2.2. Upon death, all players reveal their alignment

5.2.3. Lynching a player does

not

end day phase. Day phase will go on after a lynch

5.2.4. Players will be lynched as soon as the hosts spot a majority has been reached

5.3 As soon as the votes to end the phase reach a majority, the game will enter night phase.

5.3.1. During night phase, there will be no voting, though talking is allowed

5.3.2. The living mafia members

must

select a player to kill this night phase. They will be given 48 hours to choose their target, if they do not meet this requirement, the hosts will randomly select a player(this includes the mafia members)

5.3.3. As soon as the hosts spot the mafia's choice, the selected player will be killed unconditionally

5.3.4. Upon death, all players reveal their alignment

5.3.5. After this kill, the game goes back to day phase

5.3.6. If no mafia members are alive, no kill will occur

5.4. Town will

not

be told they've won. They have to go through a night phase and have no one get killed to confirm their win.

5.4.1. Along the same lines, town will not be told when they are in "mislynch or lose" or "lynch or lose" scenario's

5

.5 In order to speed the game up, we will run 72 hour timers during the day phase. In these 72 hours, players have to achieve a majority. If a majority has not been formed in these 72 hours, the hosts will do whatever has the most votes at that point.

5.5.1. In case of a lynch vote tie between two or more players, one will randomly be lynched

5.5.2. In case of a lynch vote tie between one or more players and night phase vote, night phase vote wins and the game will enter night phase

6. The goal of the town is to eliminate all mafia

7. The goal of the mafia is to achieve parity with the town, when the amount of mafia members and town members alive are equal

Non-game specific rules:

1. You may not edit your posts, not even for grammar

2. After dying you may not post again until the game has ended, no exceptions

3. Don't screenshot things, and certainly don't post those

4. You are not free to quote everything of what little of a role PM you get

5. You may not quote everything the hosts say without our direct permission

6. The hosts reserve the right to forcibly sub or modkill you for inactivity. This will only occur after more than 48 hours of unannounced inactivity on the player's part.

7. Don't break the game.

8. If no one posts for 48 hours during the day phase, the game will immediately end as a universal loss

[Excellen Browning]

Elieson has signed up via PM due to phone problems

[Elieson]

Sry I needed to update my phone's browser.

Confirming

[MancerNecro]

Joining.

[MancerNecro]

A stupid question here: The votes has to be done in-thread, right? Cause I'm wondering if we are allowed to do stealth votes by PMing to the mods type of thing.

[Excellen Browning]

Yes,voting has to be done in-thread

[Shinori]

I guess I'll sign up. It sounds interesting.

[Elieson]

Vanilla OC mafia, crayzay

[Excellen Browning]

and apparently not very popular.

[Helios]

I'm contemplating signing up, just need a better idea of what my schedule is going to be like before I make the commitment.

[Excellen Browning]

That's.... awfully mature.

[Helios]

I have my moments

[BBM]

My case is somewhat similar except I've already come to the conclusion that I don't have the time for two OC games at the same time now that school's started again.

[Excellen Browning]

Time investment in OC and NOC games should be comparable.

[eclipse]

Depends of how good of a job you're doing. I spend WAY more time in a good OC game than NOC, but that's because I do crazy things like cross-reference logs.

[Balcerzak]

Why is nobody interested in this?

I was leery about having the time/energy to devote to this, but maybe I should sign-up anyway so it has a chance to get off the ground.

[scorri]

I don't have time to participate in two OC games plus another game because of school and had promised people I would play in Void.

[Excellen Browning]

I honestly really doubt that this game will play out like a normal OC game.

[MancerNecro]

Sadly, scorri's proving right, because I have a lot of difficulty just playing Void on its own.

[Kaoz]

Alright, this has been up for a week now and the spots are obviously not filling. As such, this game will be swapped with the next game in the queue, Death Millers. Balcerzak is free to post sign-ups.

[13th]

Going to necro this and show interest for when this comes back up.
