OOC Thread Here This template is directly copied from @Rotte from Mafia#24: Undertale. All credits for this beautiful first post goes to Rotte. --- Mafia #25: Moving Roles General Rules: 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 Do not quote, screenshot, or otherwise post any messages received from the game master or anything related to the game outside of the thread. 7.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 colour, it’ll make the VCs and other GM posts more noticeable. Do not use that colour 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! Spoiler: Basic Stuff 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". (Usually used when voting back someone who is voting you.) 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. --------------------------------------------- List of the general roles: Spoiler 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. You win with the Town You must kill the Mafia Spoiler: Doctor You are a Doctor. You have the ability to visit one person each night. If they are attacked that night, you arrive just in time to save their life. You do not receive feedback regardless if your target was attacked or not. You can heal yourself. You win with the Town You must kill the Mafia Spoiler: Goon You are a Goon. You have no special abilties, you may do the factional kill(s) each night and vote during the day. You can communicate with your allies for as long as they are alive. You win with the Mafia You must kill the Town Spoiler: Neutral You are True Neutral you win if either all of town or all of Mafia are killed. 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. Setup info The Town-role list is completely hidden Most of the roles will be either modified however they are all based upon the basic ones The abilities may or may not be X-shot, have restrictions, or be modified in any way I can think of. There is no overpowered role in this game. However Mafia may be under powered. This is (unsurprisingly) not a bastard game. There will be no alignment changes mid-game. This game is the first game I will be hosting however the only balance issue should be number of mafia to roles to Lynching or killing a player will result in them being removed from the game their faction will be revealed and some roles will be revealed. A will system is implemented. Some roles may move on to other players on a turn by turn system~ Additional notes: The mafia only has night kill and no other abilities however they may have multiple targets! There is a mafia day-chat. Mechanics and Game Details: Day: 48 hours Night: 24 hours The game starts at Februrary 20th, at 3:00pm (GMT+8) Lynch: - 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, that person will be lynched. However night will only start at the prescribed time On a lynch While help is appreciated when making Vote Counts, I will double check everything just in case. How to join: To join, simply express in joining by saying something like "I want to join", "/join", "/in" or "sign me up, coach." and having it bolded! To vote, write: /vote [player name] Bolding the vote is necessary. Votes inside quotes or spoilers do not count. The vote count will not be updated regularly. I cannot promise that at all. Posting requirements: -> I may add a rule where X amount of contributive comments are neccesary per day, it's just unnecessary day 1 I feel -> 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. -> 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 then on, or I’ll have to replace them.) If a player doesn’t respond or gets prodded twice, they’ll be replaced.
