In the past, the mafia games in this forum have been shrouded in secrecy; only a few privy to the inner workings and hidden secrets. However, this game will change that. Welcome to Transparent Mafia! This game will be fairly standard (Village vs Mafia). However, what sets this apart from other games is that the setup will be public knowledge; in other words, the entire setup (basically what roles exist in the game, as well as Role PMs) will be made public before the game begins. The game will be 13 players large. Signups will be on a first-come first-serve basis, and people who sign up but fail to make it into the game will be considered as candidates for possible substitutions. When signing up, please vote for either: - 1 post required around every 24 hours and 1-week deadlines - 1 post required around every 48 hours and 2-week deadlines. If I don't get any votes I'll just go with what I want (48 hours). Edit: there will be 1 post required around every 48 hours and 2-week deadlines. Edit2: If you're interested in possibly substituting in, PM me! Signups: 1) Vintage Books 2) ThatIsWhatSheSaid 3) Meowmix IFM 4) Water 5) LordKX 6) Xinc 7) Fitzy 8) braveswin11 9) SteelEdges 10) "Smooth As Silk" Slamma 11) TheSexiOne 12) Archerknight 13) profDEADPOOL Please read the rules. They are there for a reason, and ignorance of the rules will not excuse you from facing the consequences of breaking them. Rules 1) Do not edit or delete your posts in the game thread under any circumstances. 2) Do not quote any private communications you have with the mod. You may paraphrase information you have received, though. 3) Mafia is a game where you play to win. Do not play against your win condition. - 3b) Please play within the spirit of the game. If you think you may be doing something that toes the line, ASK ME before you do it. Questions are good. Modkills are not. 4) Once you are dead, you are dead. Do not talk with living players or continue posting in the game thread. A quicktopic will be maintained where you can talk about the game with other dead players; do not share this link with anyone else if you receive it. 5) The minimum activity requirement will be one post in the game thread every 24/48 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, especially in a short period of time, may 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. 6) Failure to abide by these rules may result in a warning, forceful substitution, or modkill. 6b) It will never be in your, or your team's best interest to get yourself modkilled. If a Town player is modkilled during the Day phase, the Day will end. 7) I reserve the right to add, remove, or modify rules at any time if warranted. Updates will be posted both in the OP and in the game thread. ~~ Game-Specific Information 1) Roles and alignment will be randomly determined. 2) For a lynch, a simple majority of votes is needed. If majority is not reached by deadline, nobody will be lynched. - 2b) Once a majority is reached, that player is lynched, and no further votes or unvotes will change the outcome. The day will end once that player is lynched. 3) 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. - 3b) 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. 4) The game will start with 1-week/2-week deadlines. After each day/night cycle, the deadline will shorten by 1 day (this is subject to change at a later time). If the game reaches LYLO, deadlines will not be enacted (unless an extraordinary circumstance occurs). If the deadline is reached without a majority lynch, the game will go into the night phase without anyone being lynched. 5) The night phase will be 24 hours in length. During this time, please send in your night actions. If I do not receive your action, you will be considered idling. If you feel you may not be around in time for the night phase, feel free to send your actions to me during the preceding day phase. 6) The official channel on PO for the game will be <edit: something, I'll figure it out by game start> (if it doesn't exist, use the "/cjoin" command). Please set it to auto-join.
You could still do that? For British and some east coast people it was only open during the middle of the night, which makes signing up quite difficult.
10:40am. :P Don't wake up too late people! But yeah, I'd probably leave it for 24-48 hours and then choose from there to make it fair.
As well as that having read the rules I don't understand how the game will work at all. If we know all the Mafia, then we simply pl and lynch.
We just know the roles and their abilities if I'm right. We still have to find them though. Also in if possible or sub
Meowmix is subbing out. IFM is being subbed in. This was voluntary. (I'm not randomly replacing people.) edit: PS: Role PMs aren't going to be sent out until the game thread goes up. ITS UP
