Death Note 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 Do not quote, screenshot, or otherwise post any messages received from the game master or anything related to the game outside of the thread. 7.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. --------------------------------------------- Rolelist: 1. Town Cop 2.

Example Fake Role Card: Spoiler Rotte Gender: (￣▼￣) Age: (~￣³￣)~ "I'm not mafia, I swear. You can totally trust me." (Suggested roles: Game Master) 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’d 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.

Because the anime really fits a mafia theme and there are characters who should obviously be a certain role, I’ve messed the flavor up a bit so that flavor isn’t an argument to make a player guilty or inno. Basically: -the flavor isn’t designed perfectly. Do not make any arguments based on flavor, unless you want to be called a potato. -roles might, but do not have to fit the characters. -not all main characters have to be in the game -idk what the death flavor will be yet, but I’ll make sure it’s not anything role-revealing… so you know... it’s not alignment indicative, so don’t make arguments based on that Also, some small changes were made to the roles to clarify things and make the game a bit more balanced. -Both PGO and sniper have only 2 uses of their abilities -A doctor can't self-heal -A PGO is immune to role-blocks, so will kill a Role-blocker while on alert, but will still die to a strongman. -All the roles are listed in the OP (opening post), so feel free to check them if you want to.

well to start lets not random lynch were 6 town vs 3 maf + we have a cop and thus i vote /vote no lynch!
Well then. PB Mafia, the continuation. What a timing too. I just finished it. Anyway, No Lynch is in no way a good option to start the game. (This is my standard thought and not a random vote.) So: /vote lichdeath
Vote count 1.1 No-lynch: (1) lichdeath lichdeath: (1) Zone Q11 Not voting: (7) Fossil, Evil_Ginger, Exitiumm, wonderer, alamptr, raven, LNOnlineOtaku With 9 players alive, it takes 5 to lynch. Countdown
@Rotte, I recommend you to post the vote count at fixed intervals and... well, just check my recent game: http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/threads/mafia-53-twilights-kingdom.147957/
So we need more info we just can't lynch randomly it might lead to some trouble but if we don't we lose.More info please....
Well, we can do Random Voting Stage (RVS) first to get some reactions out of people, or we can do a mass claim where we immediately go do a Process of Elimination (PoE).
you just role claimed cop. if you die tonight, what good would you be? this feels like something mafia would do in order to get the real cop to speak. and on the first day? really? /vote lichdeath for now...ive got my eyes on you...
