ALL-PRs NUF Mafia General Rules: Spoiler 1. Be respectful. 2. Do not discuss the game outside the game thread. 3. Do not edit your posts after writing them. 4. Do not gamethrow (act against your win condition). This includes jesting (acting chaotic or suspicious on purpose) and all sorts of revenge actions. 5. Do not use any sort of code or encryption during the game. Signals are allowed (When I say "x" I mean "y happened") but any sort of hidden message that requires a cipher/rule to read, or otherwise hidden message is not allowed. 6. Do not quote, screenshot, or otherwise post any messages received from the game master or anything related to the game outside of the thread. 7. This is my hosting color, it’ll make the VCs and other GM posts more noticeable. Do not use that color unless you absolutely need to. 8. Pretending to break any rule will be treated as if you broke that rule. 9. Most importantly, remember that this is just a game, so just try and have fun! Terminology: Spoiler General terms: Hard Claim: Directly stating one's own role on the game thread. Soft Claim: Hinting one's role without explicity stating it. For instance, saying "there are a lot of people that are more important than me" may imply that you are soft-claiming citizen. Make sure you have a plan in mind before attempting this. Scum/Scummy: Scum is the name given to any role which doesn't win with town, and needs to be eliminated for town's win condition (like, mafia or any sort of neutral). Being scummy means adopting a behavior which doesn't line up with the behavior expected from a town member. Reads/Reading: The read you have on a player is the conclusion about their alignment and/or role through their posts or other factors. If player X posts things that look like they’re a mafia member, you have a scum-read on them! Mis-lynch: An incorrect lynch on a town member. Tunneling: Solely focusing on a player and their posts, ignoring others. Often considered scummy. Game Throwing: Playing against your win condition with the intent of making your own faction lose. Slightly more uncommon terms: LyLo - Lynch or Lose. A stage in the game where town must lynch scum or they lose. PoE - Process of Elimination. OMGUS - "oh my god you suck". ISO - Isolation. Looking at a player's total posts in a game, in succession. Playing as town: Spoiler While Mafia can talk strategy during the night, the town needs to use the day phase to discuss and figure out who is and isn't town as well. What can you do, then? Try to look for posts that feel scummy, ask and answer questions other players have made, try to see which intentions a player has behind their posts, be active and post what you think of other players regularly. Avoid plays which could benefit scum instead (e.g Hard-claiming for no reason, fake-claiming), and try your best to think for yourself - it's a common mistake to follow blindly whatever other players have to say. Townies have no reason to lie and should never do it. Spotting a lie can be almost as sure as spotting a mafia itself. Link to a citizen guide made by ObiWan on the ToS forums. Playing as mafia: Spoiler As scum, you should play exactly like you would as town - be active, post reads, try to look productive, etc. The difference here are your goals: Hiding information, misleading the town and stalling out long enough until they no longer outnumber you. This means appearing as scum-hunting, but in actuality pushing for a mislynch by questioning, false reading and trying to depict a player as scum. However, keep in mind that if a teammate is acting undeniably scummy and their lynch looks like the right call, try not to oppose it too obviously - or it could be tracked back to you. And remember: you are a team, and thus communication is essential. Try to talk over every situation so you can plan in advance. Golden Rules: Don't be inactive. Remember what your goals are at all times. Don't panic if you commit a mistake, but try to work your way around it. Have fun. It's a game, after all. --------------------------------------------- Setup info The role-list is completely hidden. There will be no citizens in the game, every single player will have a passive or/and active ability. Most of the roles will be either modified or completely new, but some of them might be based on the general ones. List of the general roles: Spoiler Spoiler: TOWN Spoiler: citizen You are a Citizen. You don't have any special ability and just try to live your life in peace. Each day you get to vote in an attempt to remove the Mafia from the community. You win with the Town You must kill the Mafia Spoiler: Cop You are a Cop. Every night you have the ability to investigate one town member to see if they're up to anything suspicious. If your target is a member of the Mafia, you will know. However, the Godfather hides their tracks too well and will appear as not suspicious to you.

You only have 2 bullets, allowing you to perform your night action up to 2 times. You win with the Town You must kill the Mafia Spoiler: Paranoid Gun Owner You are a Paranoid Gun Owner. Going on alert makes you kill anybody who comes to your house that night, both evil and good, so use this power carefully or you will do more harm than good. This can also kill people who are normally night immune, like the Godfather. You are immune to attacks, and any other harmful night actions while on alert. Watch out for the strongman though, as he can bypass your night abilities. You can go on alert only 2 times throughout the game. You are immune to being roleblocked. You win with the Town You must kill the Mafia Spoiler: Role Blocker You are a Role Blocker. Each night you can choose one player to visit. You will spend the night with your target, who will be too busy to use their role that night, effectively roleblocking them. Your target will be informed that they were roleblocked. However, if the person you visit turns out to be a Paranoid Gun owner and he’s on alert, you’ll die. You are immune to being roleblocked. You win with the Town You must kill the Mafia Spoiler: Tracker You are a Tracker. Every night you may target a player and see who they visited if anyone.

You will spend the night with your target, who will be too busy to use their role that night, effectively roleblocking them. Your target will be informed that they were roleblocked.

The first time you’re attacked at night, the kill will fail. You may perform the factional kill if there are no other mafia left. Your allies are [x], and [x]. You do not know who is what role. You win with the Mafia You must kill the Town Even though the roles in the general list do have names, the roles in the game WILL NOT. The abilities may or may not be X-shot, have restrictions, or be modified in any way I can think of. There will be no overpowered roles in the game. There will be no alignment changes mid-game. I’ll try to make the game rather balanced, so that both sides have a chance to win, but please have in mind that I’m not an expert in doing that. Lynching or killing a player will result in them being removed from the game with their role card being revealed to the public. Example Role Card: Spoiler You’re a member of the town. Abilities: Active: [insert a description here] Passive: [insert a description here] Win condition: You win with when all threats to the town have been eliminated with at least 1 town member remaining. Additional notes: The mafia can perform the night kill and use their abilities at the same time. There is a mafia day-chat. The scums will be provided with a list of possible role modifiers.
Mechanics and Game Details: Day: 48h Night: 24h Lynch: Plurality and Majority (Plurality: the person with the highest number of votes at the end of the day gets lynched. Majority: If at any point of the game the majority of the players vote on one person, the day will end immediately and that person will be lynched) In case of a tie, I’ll lynch the person who’s wagon started first. Because of the “Majority” mechanics and me not wanting to have to worry about eventual mistakes in the vote counts the players make, I will be counting the votes in this game. To vote, write: /vote player-name Bolding the vote isn’t necessary, but it would make it easier for me if you did it. Votes inside quotes or spoilers do not count. I’ll be updating the vote count regularly after a few votes. Posting requirements: At least 2 contributive posts every 24 hours. Votes count as contribution. Asking questions related to the game counts as contribution. Commenting on other players’ posts and saying that they’re town/mafia counts as contribution. Joke-posts and posts with no content do not count. In order to count, the posts have to bring sth new into the conversation. If a person doesn’t meet the required amount, they will be prodded (PMed by me that if they want to play, they have to meet their posting criteria in 18 hours from now on, or I’ll have to replace them.) If a player doesn’t respond or gets prodded twice, they’ll be replaced.

Woo! I’m alive! Anyway, I suspect @Zone Q11 due to the fact that he’s not suspected anyone yet. Even though the day just started.
If any of you got attacked feel free to say so if you want ~ Well I wanna go on more but I'll wait till more people comment
Oi. I opened NUF just now you know? Not to mention, I don't have any failproof tactics or strategies for an all PR game. So I don't know who to hunt first either aside from the inactives. Actually, it is. While being unfortunate, there are some settings where an N0 vig-kill exists.
Well then. For starters, let us talk about the amount of scum. Last game we had nine players and three scums. So in the worst case scenario, we would have three scums this game as well.
Eh. It's a better start than no start. As of yet however, everyone is equally suspicious and not suspicious at the same time. We won't have any lead until we start talking more.
Alright let’s go /vote- Fossil I don’t like that excitement of being alive. Especially after n0. Sounds fake.
Vote count 1.1 Fossil: (1) Scattered mind Not voting: (8) raven, Blitz, Fossil, LNOnlineOtaku, bbninjas, GonZ555, Nagashiro, Zone Q11 With 9 players alive, it takes 5 to lynch. Countdown
We don't know. This is more or less our second mafia game with Rotte as our GM. Usually A5G_Reaper would be the GM, but she's been somewhat busy. I think. Fossil's behavior might be also like that since he's been scum thrice in a row until our previous game.
