Shipping Mafia Sign-Ups

[eclipse]

You wake up in a large room. You see others rise up around you. They look as disoriented as you.

"Test group 3498 has revived. You have 24 hours to decide your fate. Choose wisely."

Heads turn, most in confusion. You have no idea what to expect, so you take a deep breath and approach the person nearest to you. . .

[spoiler=Rules, semi-standard clipsey style]0. During the DAY this game is strictly NOC. During the NIGHT this game is strictly OC. DO NOT MIX THIS UP!

1. Living people can talk to other players about the game in the game thread only. Dead people, follow rule 14. Information cannot be passed from the dead to the living.

2. Everyone will get a role PM with a name, some flavor, a role, and a win condition. You may state your name, state your win condition, paraphrase your own role, and give out the numbers in you N0 role PM. SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR ROLE PM THAT'S NOT COVERED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE WILL END BADLY, SO DON'T DO IT!

3. Anyone is free to ask me to write them a fake, within reason. Asking me to write a fake so you can see the mafia wincon is not within reason. This also means that asking people to post the town win condition is a waste of time.

4. Don't screenshot. Please.

5. This game begins on N0.

6. A vote counts as ##(your choice of verb): (someone), with (your choice of verb) being "Vote" or something more creative, and (someone) being who you want to vote for. If you want to change your vote, you must ##Unvote first. Don't edit your posts, please.

7. In case of a lynch tie, one person will be randomly lynched. Maybe.

8. Each day phase will be roughly 72 hours, and each night phase will be roughly 48 hours. I'll post phase end times in both GMT and HST. Note that Hawaii does not observe DST. Unless I say something BEFORE PHASE END, the phase will end at the scheduled time, whether I am present or not. Phases may end early if a majority is reached during the day, or if I get all night actions in at night.

9. Person with the most votes is lynched at the end of the day phase on D1 only. After D1, it'll take at least one-third of the living players to lynch, rounding UP. If someone amasses half the living player's votes, rounded up, the phase ends (and if I'm not around, then patiently wait for me and don't post in the thread; I'll be reasonable with the phase end times).

9a. If at the end of any day phase, the number of people not voting at phase end exceeds the majority vote, OR at least one-third of the game, rounded DOWN has not voted, the game will end with a universal loss. If you're gonna sign up, you'd best be arsed to play the game.

10. If you have a night action, and do not want to do it, reply to your role PM with Night X - Idling. Idling on N0 is not recommended.

11. No items, because you're not wearing something with pockets.

12. If you miss a day and night, you are eligible for auto-sub-out/modkill, whichever one is deemed more appropriate. If you need a sub, say so in the main thread and/or your role PM. I am not your mother, so stay on top of things. Losing interest is not a valid sub-out reason, and being too busy may cause you to be modkilled (this heavily depends on how often you've subbed out with this excuse in the past).

13. I made a nice little priority list, and it will be posted it once the game is over. This time, you will not see your own priority, so if you want to use priority as a reason why something happened/did not happen, you can TRY, but don't blame me if everyone wants to lynch you afterwards. By popular request, none of the roles will screw with priority.

14. If you end up dead, SHUT UP (unless I royally screwed something up). Spamming the thread while dead is grounds for a posthumous modkill.

15. Punishment for breaking the rules will range from nothing to modkills. If you feel that the risk of punishment is worth it, go for it, but be warned that things will probably not turn out the way you want it to.

16. If in doubt, follow your role PM, or whatever I tell you in reply to your role PM. Pay attention, or you might miss something important~! If your role PM contradicts the rules, FOLLOW YOUR ROLE PM.

17. If you see your user name in the flavor, it means that you were randomly chosen to do something, so don't sweat it. If you see your role name in the flavor, it's for a reason.

18. If you have been modkilled, your win condition is "You win by being the last one alive".

19. If you ask a question, and I respond with "Tee-hee~!", it means you're not getting a straight answer until postgame. There is a reason for this. HOWEVER, if you want to know whether something will get you modkilled, I will most likely give you a straight answer. . .but don't ask me stupidly convoluted questions for the sake of getting on my nerves.

20. If you want to share your thoughts, I welcome them. Reply to your role PM/bug me on IRC if you wish to do this.

21. If I tell you to do something, and you don't listen, you probably aren't going to like what will happen next.

22. If you feel the need to complain about some aspect of the game before the game is over, please do so in your role PM. Dead players are free to bitch about whatever they want in their role PMs, and only their role PMs. You can also whine on IRC, and I'll do my best to humor you.

23. You're dead when you die. I refuse to exhume corpses.

24. If I can't figure out what you're trying to say in the game thread in under a minute, you'll have quite a bit of explaining to do.

25. Do not attempt to lynch/kill Yours Truly, no matter how tempting it may be.

26. The only players that can affect the game are on the player list. Talking to people not playing in this game is highly discouraged, 'cause there's no telling who will slip what (and I'd rather not have to modkill you for a loose tongue).

27. No, you may not be an informed observer upon death.

28. Ignorance of the rules will probably make your punishment more harsh. The rules don't exist for my own reading pleasure.

29. If I think of anything else, it'll go here.

General tips:

1. Play with some semblance of intelligence. Don't try to play the hero. I will shred you in postgame if you attempt the latter for any reason.

2. Playing intentionally scummy will also incur a scathing postgame review.

3. Read the Mafia Info Dump thread for basics of the game.

4. Read the damn rules, so I don't have to hand out mass modkills.

5. Scumhunting by flavor will result in a town loss. This game is designed specifically to shut that down.

6. Emotion is a null tell, learn to read what's behind it.

7. I strongly suggest keeping notes on who claimed what, who said what about people, etc.

8. Don't rely on meta too heavily; it's only one tool that's available to you!

9. This is supposed to be FUN, so try to keep it civil. Someone deconstructing your logic/telling you what you are doing wrong is not a personal attack (the former is supposed to happen, and you can evaluate the latter based on a future flip).

10. Pay close attention to the phase end times! Breaking the NOC/OC rule will most likely get you modkilled!

Mechanical stuff:

1. This game is experimental, and thus will probably be imbalanced. I don't know which side will be imbalanced (or you all might be insanely lucky and this game will balance itself).

2. Duplicate roles may exist.

3. Vanillas on both sides may exist.

4. Role does not determine alignment. Expect ANYTHING.

5. Inspection results are accurate.

6. No, you're not a Paranoid Gun Owner. I considered it, but took it out, due to severe balancing issues.

7. If you are redirected/blocked, I will notify you.

8. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you do not sub out; subbing into OC is hard enough! If you have a major exam next week or something, plan for it! If you aren't sure if you'll be active, don't sign up! If this is your first game, I'd suggest waiting for something easier; juggling NOC and OC simultaneously will be hard!

Was he a PGO?

You know, my sig says what BBM stands for if you've forgotten, Eclipse. No reason to make names up.

I know. TEE-HEE~!

(I like poking fun at your initials)

[Blitz]

I am really not liking being dead, and the mechanics sounds like fun, can I join? (even with my low net activity which is starting to be a pain, yes I am talking about Psych's suicide)

Do you think you can drop by at least once per phase?

[Balcerzak]

I thought you loved me, eclipse. Where was that advance notice you were gonna post sign-ups for your game? I know I asked for it. :(

[Blitz]

once per day phase shouldn't be a problem and since it has OC in it, I will try to show up as much as possible during the night that is)

and I should be around unless twin strikes start up, which will be on the first and second of May

You don't have to worry, the yandere one is Ether.

[Sunwoo]

Sorry eclipse, I'd join but I'm going to be away for 6-7 days in the middle of May and I won't be without Internet.

That's fine! You can start up a collection and bet on who will survive past D3.

[Kay]

I'll join, this looks fun and bizarre.

[Grassbridger]

/in, if you don't mind explaining the contact rules to/dealing with someone who has never played OC before

(This is fun!)

There should be some pointers in the Mafia Info Dump thread. If you're still unclear on stuff, let me know. I'm willing to explain how it works!
