Semi-Precious Mafia - Sign ups (always looking for subs)

[eclipse]

Gems are truly, truly, truly outrageous

In other words, I'll deal with flavor later

[spoiler=Rules, semi-standard clipsey style]0. This game is NOC. This means all talking must be done in the game thread (unless I tell you otherwise). Deal with it.

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, and paraphrase your own role. POSTING FLAVOR, OR ASKING OTHERS FOR IT WILL END BADLY, SO DON'T EVEN THINK IT!

3. Fakes should not be needed for this game. Use your imagination~!

4. Don't screenshot. Please.

5. This game begins on D1, so have fun~! No talking at night, unless I tell you otherwise.

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. The first time a lynch tie happens, no one is lynched. If it happens again, it's up to the RNG.

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. A lynch needs a minimum of one-third of the living players, rounded UP, to go through. If a majority (over half of the living players) occurs, the accused has until I get home to say stuff. I come home at the weirdest times. Yo have been warned. A No Lynch may happen ONCE if no one has enough votes to be lynched; the second time, it is a universal loss. The game is free to vote for No Lynch as many times as they like, but this will NOT help the town to win.

9a. If at the end of any day phase, the number of people not voting at phase end exceeds the majority vote, OR the number of players not voting is one-third of the game, rounded down, I will modkill every single person who hasn't voted instead. Etrian Odyssey's D1 was bullshit, and I refuse to let that happen here.

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

11. Your role is an item, and only the host is able to do anything other than stare at it. No other items exist.

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, you get one last non-informative post. What you say is up to you.

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 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.

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.

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.

Other stuff to keep in mind:

1. Personal insults will not be tolerated. Assume that I have no sense of humor.

2. Trying to PoE people based on rolespec will end badly.

3. When in doubt, explain yourself.

4. If you aren't sure whether or not something is against the rules, PM me, and WAIT for my answer.

5. ISOs may take longer than normal to go up; this depends on who signs up.

5a. Yep, ISOs will take a while. Should be up by the midpoint of D1, give or take a few hours.

[Shin]

You know who else is semi-precious? I don't either, I'm in!

[Bluedoom]

Hmmm, fin i'll /in because this is a small game.

[BBM]

I'm too precious to play in a game called semi-precious

/in

[charlie_]

No way BBM

/in

[MRDRHAWK]

I'm not precious enough for this game

In.

[Da Bear]

Shore.

[Refa]

OK, in.

Alignment requests y/n/m?

[Paperblade]

Requesting IO

[riariadne]

also requesting IO

[Bard]

/in

[Wayward Winds]

I'm interested as well, BUT I have yet to actually play a Mafia game (been keeping an eye on this board for a while though). If you want experienced players only (for whatever reason) then obviously leave me out. I don't mind being listed as a substitute (seeing as it looks (/\) like I'm too late for a starting place).

So, from the blurb in the OP, this looks like a fairly simple Mafia setup - no particularly extravagant gimmicks. Did I read that right?

[Prims]

I wanna play but won't be able cuz I'm grounded

put me down as IO, I guess. doubt i'll be able to sub in time

[eclipse]

First, no alignment requests. All roles are up to the RNG.

Second, I have a few things to sort out, then I'll see if I have enough to start this game. For a clipsey game. . .it's not too bad. . .

[Elieson]

Regarding game setup?

[eclipse]

AAAAND DONE! Topic up in a bit~!

[Refa]

Wow, that was fast!

[Grassbridger]

Oh I am bad with signups, I can sub if needed

[The Objection!]

If IOs are still available I'd like to be one.

Worst case, I'll sub but only call me after 15 IF someone disappears from the face of the earth.

[Percivalé]

can I be IO please, if not put me down as a (last-resort) sub I suppose. thank you!

[Sunwoo]

I can sub in as long as you don't need one before the end of this week. Hopefully whatever is making me feel shitty will blow over by then.

[eclipse]

I think that's everyone. If you are on the IO list, do check the main thread for my policy on them.

[Grace]

I can be a very last resort sub

I might be taking notes anyway so yeah

[NekoRex]

I can do small game subs, probably. If you need 4/5 subs by the time you get to me, though, I'll laugh

Sub me earlier if you can
