    Welcome to the signups for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance NOC Mafia, modded by Nicehat, and with SteelEdges as backup mod.

    As the title suggests, this is a NOC (No Outside Contact) mafia game, with flavor based on the GBA video game Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. As the NOC name implies, what differentiates this from a normal mafia game is that players are generally only allowed to communicate in the thread itself; this means that less emphasis is placed on night actions, alliances, and claiming, and more emphasis is placed on scumhunting during the day.

    This will be a 17 player game with day-start. Although anyone may join, it is highly recommended that you have at least some knowledge of how NOC mafia works; it's advised you at least read through some of a finished NOC game, on Smogon or Mafiascum for example, before the game starts. This way, you'll have some idea of what you're committing to when you sign up for this game.


    RULES (READ THESE)

    1) Do not discuss anything about the game outside of the game thread, with anyone (dead or alive or not playing), for any reason, unless your role specifically states otherwise.

    2) Once you are dead, you are not allowed to post in the game thread. This includes "bah" posts; please save your thoughts for the post-game discussion.

    3) Do not edit or delete your posts. This is your only warning.

    4) Do not quote (or fakequote) any private communcations. This includes your role PM. You can still paraphrase information you have received.

    5) For a lynch, a simple majority of votes is needed. If majority is not reached by deadline, nobody will be lynched.
    - 5b) Once a majority is reached, that player is lynched, and no further votes or unvotes will change the outcome.

    6) The voting action is Vote: Playername. The unvoting action is Unvote. Please bold your vote, and put it where I can see it, i.e. at the bottom of your post on a new line. Incorrectly formatting your vote may result in me not counting it. Unvoting when you change votes would be appreciated, but isn't mandatory.
    - 6b) No Lynch is also a possible voting action, in the same format as a vote: Vote: No Lynch. A majority vote for no lynch will send the game into night without a lynch.

    7) The minimum activity requirement is one post in the game thread every 24 hours. Failure to do so will result in a prod. You will have 24 hours after that prod to post in the thread before being replaced. Receiving multiple prods will also result in you being replaced. If you foresee yourself being unable to commit to this game over the next month or so, please think twice before signing up.

    8) This game will have preset deadlines: The game will start with 5-day deadlines. Once there are fewer than 12 players alive, the deadline will shorten to 4 days in length. The night phase will be around 24-48 hours.

    9) If you believe I have made a mistake somewhere, please point it out, and I will do my best to fix it. If there is a more serious issue, please PM me.

    10) The punishment for breaking the rules will generally be a modkill (this means you die and automatically lose). If a town-sided player is modkilled during the day, the current day will end. If an anti-town player is modkilled, the day will continue.

    EDIT: Clarification about deadlines and other things:
    Once someone reaches a majority, that player is lynched and the day ends immediately. In other words, if 13 people are alive, once someone has 7 votes on them, they're dead. Also, if deadline is reached without someone reaching that simple majority, nobody will be lynched. Therefore, if at the deadline, that player has only 6 votes (in a 13 player game), they will not be lynched. For these reasons, the deadline is on the longer side, and I would much rather have a deadline be too long than too short.

    IDC if you edit your posts here, the game hasn't started yet (although it's probably good practice for when the game starts!). Once the game thread is posted, you should not edit your posts in that thread for any reason. If you want to make it easier for me to keep track of votes, feel free to Unvote in your post before changing your vote, like so:
    Unvote, Vote XXXXXX

    From reading posts in the thread, night phase will probably be kept closer to 24 hours, but erring on the side of longer when necessary.[/HIDE]
    EDIT2: When a player dies, their role-name and role (this includes alignment) will be revealed. However, their role PM will not be revealed.

    Signups will last around 48 hours (or until enough players join, whichever takes longer), and will be on a first-come first-serve basis. If you want to play, please /in. I assume that people who sign up but do not make it in will be available as substitutes; if this is not the case, please contact me later.

    For obvious reasons, there will not be an official channel on the PO server for this game.

    no editing at all as far as i know, you just have to use unvote before you change your vote. yeah as far as i know in NOC's there is no editing allowed what so ever.

    I would also like to say that double and even triple posting (even quadruple) will not be policed in this game. (unless you go stupid and post a huge amount of unnecessary posts in a row) but ya

    No editing at all.

    Also doesn't 5 days seem like a bit much? I would do 1 day night, 3 day days personally. It's not like much discussion can happen at night so all the actions should get in relatively fast.

    oh i just saw that, i think 24 hour nights and 72 hour (3 day) days would be better.

    I wonder how many people actually read the rules and/or a smogon NOC game.

    Anyway, I can't be the only person thinking that 5 day phases are a little much <If i'm reading that right>. Since there are 17 players, assuming 1 lynch a day, 2 kills a night, no kills/lynched failing, the kill rate dropping to 1 kill at 5, and the village winning with two players, it means that the game will last 864 hours, or 36 days. And if there is only one kill, the even if the village wins with something like 4 players, then it'll take 1032 hours or 43 days. Which, for a 17 player game, is quite a lot. plus, what are we going to talk about over 120-96 hours day phases? I know communication is a vital part of NOC games, but I get the feeling conversation will be high for the first 48-72 hours, and then it'll decline so that by the end of the third day the chat will be nothing but innane comments. Also, inb4 the main cause of death is a modkill for inactivity. That is all.

    This no editing is a frickin' pain. Anyway, yah, I think what VB said would be good for phase length.

    I dont think no editing matters for signup thread KX.

    Also, day phases (if they stay at 5 day deadline) would not end up going for 5 days, as soon as a voting majority is reached, the day phase ends.

    Clarification about deadlines and other things:

    Once someone reaches a majority, that player is lynched and the day ends immediately. In other words, if 13 people are alive, once someone has 7 votes on them, they're dead. Also, if deadline is reached without someone reaching that simple majority, nobody will be lynched. Therefore, if at the deadline, that player has only 6 votes (in a 13 player game), they will not be lynched. For these reasons, the deadline is on the longer side, and I would much rather have a deadline be too long than too short.

    IDC if you edit your posts here, the game hasn't started yet (although it's probably good practice for when the game starts!). Once the game thread is posted, you should not edit your posts in that thread for any reason. If you want to make it easier for me to keep track of votes, feel free to unvote in your post before changing your vote, like so:
    Unvote, Vote XXXXXX

    From reading posts in the thread, night phase will probably be kept closer to 24 hours, but erring on the side of longer when necessary.

    PS: If anyone has any more questions, feel free to send me a PM on the forums; if valid, I'll update the OP for the signups thread for now, and the OP of the game thread when it's posted.

    It seems I missed you, sorry.

    Marcello will be subbed into Xinc's position, and Xinc will be first in queue for substitutes.
    Role PMs haven't been distributed yet so this shouldn't affect the game.

    I apologize for this mistake.

    PS: If anyone has any concerns or questions, you can always PM me!

    Role PMs have been distributed.

    The game thread should be going up soon.

    To confirm, send me a PM with what your role is.

    Day 1 will begin when everyone confirms.
