COPIED FROM SMOGON BUT I DONT CARE The Rules I recommend you read each and every one of them. They are mostly common sense rules that have been used in mafia since the beginning, but there are also some major changes. Mafia Basics Mafia is a game traditionally played between two teams: a good majority, and an evil minority. The evil know who they are, while the good have no idea who they can trust or not. At night, the evil people, traditionally called wolves or mafia, murder one of the good people, also known as citizens or villagers. Then the day starts, and a vote is held on who should be lynched. This is the village's chance to off one of the evil people, and it is also where the neutrals/mafia must delude the rest of the players into lynching one of their own. Either side wins when the other side is completely eliminated. The village in this game is represented by the Citizens, while the evil mafia sections are the Robot Mafia and MomCorp. Finally, there are also the neutrals, who are not aligned with anyone particular. At Nighttime The game starts with Night 0. During this time, lasting 30 hours or so, everyone who has a night role can choose to use it by PMing the host. If you are not using your night role, please PM the host with a PM titled "Night 0 - Idling", so we don't have to wait the full amount of time if we don't have to. Every subsequent night is the same, except replace "Night 0" with whatever Night number it is, and the nights will only last 30 hours or so. Once the game draws more to the end, I will shorten nights even more. Of course, nights always end early if everyone sends in their usage PMs early. No-one can die N0, so everyone gets a chance of doing something. So kill roles, idle n0 Note that when I say "PM the host", I mean Hang. At Daytime At daytime, the main activity is the lynch vote (explained below), though there are also day roles in this game. Those are just like night roles - send them in before the day is over. The day is over when a majority is reached or when the 48 hours is over. If I don't have a day pm when a majority is reached, I will grant a short grace period of a couple of hours, then move on. The lynch vote is meant for the village to lynch one of the evil guys. Every user can be assumed to have one vote, though some roles make a user's vote count for a different amount. Vote by posting vote/lynch USER, where USER is of course one of those awesome Country aliases. Please vote in bold. If you wish to change or withdraw, post that as well, so that only your latest vote will be counted. You may also vote for "no lynch". If the majority votes "no lynch", there will be, well, no lynch! The More Difficult Stuff First off, I would like to note that some rules cannot be properly enforced. They require a player to be honest. If you have a problem with a rule, I don't really care. Feel free to speak up about it, but don't go breaking it. If I notice you have broken a rule, I will likely godkill you. Aliases These Country forum names are used to conceal the identity of the GTS players. They are the ones roles, votes and everything else are aimed at unless stated otherwise. It is not recommended you give your alias to anyone unless you fully trust them. And I warn you not to be too generous with your information either, because your alias is not a foolproof defense. Items Items have been introduced in previous Mafia and been kept in ever since. What items do is usually self explanatory. You can give away items during day and nighttime, though they have the lowest priority of all actions. One of the consequences of this low priority is that you cannot give away your item if you are about to get lynched or killed. If you are holding an item during the night or day, you can choose to Give it to USER with a corresponding title in a PM to the host. You may also Idle with it, and finally you may choose to use it if that is possible (if it is, it's explained). You may not use and give away an item on the same night. Any items given are received at the end of the night or day they are given. Please always send a PM during the night when you hold an item, either for giving, using or idling, so I don't have to wait for you with the update. Alive, Dead, and Everything In Between If you have been murdered, either by lynch or a killing role, you are dead. From that point, you can no longer vote or use any roles unless you are somehow resurrected (I can confirm nor deny this possibility for now). When you are dead, your role PM will be posted, but your custom win condition or any other parts that will give anything away will be snipped out. For this game, I am going to lighten the "deadtalking" rule, rather than trying to enforce a hopeless case. - The two mafia sections are free to deadtalk to their own team as they please to help in strategic affairs but any information given to them by alive players not of mafia may not be passed along. - Neutrals are not allowed to deadtalk, since the moment they die, their task is (usually) either done or impossible to fulfill. Therefore, they are to have no influence on the battle between the Citizens and the two evil sections. - The villagers (Citizens) are only permitted to deadtalk on a case-by-case basis. If you're a dead villager and you wish to talk to anyone about the game, ask me about it first. Generally, I wish to allow strategic conversations for dead people, but not for them to cause infiltration, inter-team communication or village reunions. Communication with the Host Hang is the main host in this game, registered on the anonymous forums as Hang. The co-host is Nilan. I would preferably have questions about the game go in my GTS PM box, as I use this forum only for collecting night/day PMs. You may also reach me on IRC, I'm nearly always on as Shade in certain channels. Unlike other games, you are allowed to copypaste conversations with me or my co-host. I will also gladly help people faking conversations or role PMs if I have time AND I don't give away anything about the game. I will generally only answer questions about your own role and about items you hold, and not those in the hands of others, as to not ruin false claims. Kindly don't try to wrestle information from me when I do not want to give it. Play with the information you have, and try to get it out of other players instead. Need to Falseclaim? Falseclaiming, for beginners, is where you claim a good role or a different role to what you actually have. It's usually used to infiltrate a different faction. This might be hard for villagers as they cant access the mafia forums and opposing mafias cant access each others forums. Role PMs, fake or real may not be exchanged until Night 1 has ended. If you're evil, you will probably want to falseclaim to be allied with the village or even neutral. You may even want to false claim to your own team to make it easier to fulfill your custom win condition. And when talking to a neutral, you may not want to reveal yourself either, whatever you are. If you need to fake a role PM, use the following format. You can check up with me if you want to know if it's good. I have not been 100% consistent with the formatting. Maybe not on purpose, but why fix it when it can only help the amount of interesting illusions in the game? Anyway, the format below probably won't be in that order, I've just listed them. To make a clever role PM, base it off your own. You might have noticed the rule about not being allowed to copypaste conversations between you and the host. It's because it's not there. I will gladly help you fake a conversation if you want, or you can just make a fake log yourself. I don't really want to open the can of worms that is faking screenshots though, so just refrain from that, as it gives an unfair advantage to good photoshoppers. Dear [GTSUserName]/[CountryAlias], You are [RoleName]. Biography [stuff about this character's background] Role [a user's night role, PM the host with Night X - Do Something blabla, do not put this part in if you do not want your role to have a night role] Item You have [the Item]. [what you can do with it]. [again, if someone has no item, then don't put anything] Win Condition Win condition is basically what makes you win. Custom Win Condition [some flavour text here, sometimes!] [list of win conditions and how much points each give] Other stuff The mafia have their own sections of the forum, if you can't access either of those sections then you're either neutral or villager. Nobody except from Hang and Nilan can access both of them. No-one can see what goes on in these sections unless they can access them and that requires a password, although the forums will be automatically unlocked in most mafia cases. I recommend mafia do not give away the password if they happen to know it, but you probably won't considering I have unlocked them for you. If you are mafia and cannot access your forum you must CONTACT ME. By signing up for this game, you agreed that you play to win according to the game's rules. This means that you will not ruin the game for other people, including the hosts, as a lot of work and planning has gone into it. It also means that I am really, really against any kind of pre-game deal, or relying on any kind of friendship outside the game to help yourself in the game. So if you and your friend are both playing, please don't ruin the whole idea of mafia by making and keeping promises that would hinder you from winning. I'm not going to call out any names here, you know who you are. If you want a game to win with your friends, go play Halo or Neopets or something. Edited by Hang, Mar 28 2009, 03:31 PM.
