The Rules:

The Golden Rule:
This is a game. Everyone who signs up to play must be considerate of each other, never get personal, and focus on having fun. Once the game starts, having signed up is a commitment: inactivity is just as inconsiderate as rude comments.

The Standard Rules:
1. No communication between players outside of the game thread or shared QTs at any time. This includes passing references, jokes, or cases in other games or threads, whether in context or not.
2. If the game thread is locked, do not post. If you are unsure if something is locked, ask the mod by PM.
3. Direct or verbatim quoting of mod-provided information (including QT opening and closing times) is strictly forbidden. Paraphrasing is okay.
4. Actions with instructions that do not specify a game state will be resolved in the order they are received.
5. All night actions must be submitted within 36 hours of day ending.
6. Players must post once every 24 hours.
7. Do not edit or delete posts, ever. If you need to clarify or correct something, post again.
8. Invisible text, font size less than 10, and spoiler tags are not allowed.
9. Cryptography is not allowed.
10. The time between an exile being reached and a flip being provided is called twilight. All players may continue posting during this time, including the exiled player.
11. Dead players may not post in thread or QT, except their Role QT. An exiled player is not "dead" until a flip has been provided.
12. Personal multimedia, such as video or audio recordings, are not allowed in the game thread.

The Voting Rules:
1. Votes should be in this format: Vote: Playername. Unambigiuous nicknames are acceptable, or any string that uniquely identifies a user. Note that the point of voting is, in fact, unambiguity, and attempting to make it unclear to other players (or, of course, mods) which user you are voting for is very ill-advised.
2. Unvotes should be in this format: unvote or Unvote: Playername.
3. Unvotes are not required if changing your vote from one player to another.
4. You may vote: no exile.
5. Exiles occur when a simple majority (rounded up) of living players is reached. Once reached, an exile cannot be undone.
6. If a majority lynch is not reached by the Day's deadline, no lynch occurs.

The Rest:
1. Bold, Brown text are reserved for the MODs. Players may not use it.
2. If you have an issue or problem with the game, please PM the Mod. Do not post complaints in the game thread.
3. Mods make mistakes - please point them out gently. If they can be corrected, they will. If irreversible, they will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
4. If a mod error disadvantages one faction greatly, the game may be called off.
5. Ask all questions and make all requests directly to the Mod via PM. Questions deemed as "universal" (defined as questions for which the answers should be available to all players) will be requested to be re-posted in the Game Thread and answered there.
6. Players may request prods on other players if they have not posted in 24 hours. Players are subject to replacement or modkill after one prod.
7. All rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, as determined by the mod.
8. Each player will receive their own QT, regardless of role. Don't quote from it.
9. If the game goes on for 3 days and 3 nights without a lynch or nightkill, town wins.

Deadlines:
1. Days will last seven IRL days.
2. Nights will last 48 hours.

Stack the Deck setup (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Stack_the_Deck) is an open standard setup.

There will be a total of twelve players, consisting of:
2 Mafia
1 1-shot Bulletproof Traitor (Mafia Aligned)
9 Town

Mechanics:
- Daystart
- Role Modification
During pre-game, mafia have 24 hours to select which (if any) of the modifications they want to their team. A maximum of three modifications may be selected.

- Bulletproof (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Bulletproof)
 - Role Cop (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Role_Cop) - The Role Cop can both perform the kill and perform the role copping in the same night.
 - JOAT (1 shot Strongman (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Strongman), 1 shot Ninja (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Ninja))
 - Daytalk (passive ability)
 - Recruit Traitor as Mafia Goon


For each modification that is selected by the mafia, town gains an additional role as well. The town has two roles to start, resulting in a maximum of five town roles randomly selected from the following:

 - Goon Cop - returns results of Goon, Not Goon or no result regardless of alignment.
 - Roleblocker (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Roleblocker)
 - Tracker (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Tracker)
 - Bodyguard (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Bodyguard)
 - Vigilante (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Vigilante)
 - Innocent Child (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Innocent_Child) (reveal at start of day one)


- At the beginning of the game all town aligned players receive a "Vanilla Town" role. Once mafia has selected their abilities all town roles go out. This prevents claims of "received roles before/after mafia modifications".
- No player may receive more than one role/modification.
- The mafia traitor may not receive any abilities if not recruited as well.
- If the mafia traitor is the last mafia player alive, he will still be a "traitor" and retain possession of the 1-shot bulletproof if it has not been used up.
- Bulletproofs are passive abilities and as such are only used up when the player is targeted for a night kill. The player will not be told if their bulletproofs have been used up. Bulletproofness cannot be roleblocked.
- Trackers tracking someone who has been roleblocked will return the result of the intended target as if it had not been roleblocked.

Well, I came to the forum for Dominion.  But I love me a good game of Mafia - it's been a while since I've played a forum version (I used to play elsewhere, years ago).

Attention everyone! Are we all here? Yes... good!
Ahem*
Welcome to the first socially distanced FDS Conference Call of 2021! I see there are 12 of you that were able to make it... which is great! There is one issue I would like to bring to everyone's attention though...

As soon as this call started, some among us started hacking into our personal information. Something about the combination of knowing who would be here combined with access to their IP is allowing them to steal all of our private info. So, while I was hoping this call would consist of socially distanced drinking games and some good old fun... instead we gotta figure out who these people are. Good Luck!

I have been able to confirm that there is one person that absolutely CANNOT be responsible for the sabotage -
Dylan32

Texas is a disaster right now.  I have power sometimes, so I might be a little absent for a bit.

But I have missed you all!

Mandatory setup discussion: Not taking too much stuff seems better for mafia, right? I think I would take daychat and nothing else.

Jesus how did i fuck that up

real good. That’s how

First thought: this can't happen this game. So I'll call it Swowl karma and allow Dylan to be IC. Oh, and as seen in the last game (yes I still remember last game (because I lost horribly)), we should all say the IC is bad so they're actually good.

To everyone else: hello! Yay mafia, I miss you guys.

Hi mathdude! Have you pledged (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=7695.0)? How much mafia did you use to play? What do you still remember? You can always ask what stuff means, there's quite a big of lingo to learn.

Okay, now the game.

Mandatory setup discussion: Not taking too much stuff seems better for mafia, right? I think I would take daychat and nothing else.

I would take other things too, depends on the team I believe. Also remember there's only 2 people deciding, and we have a new player, so...yeah.

Vote: mcmc, I don't know why, but I miss you slightly more than the others and I want to say this.

Thanks for the heads-up.  I just went to the pledge page now.  I mean, it sounds like common sense stuff, but it's good that it's written down for all.

I used to play quite a bit (on other forums) - I even hosted many rounds, back in my days at university.  I love playing around with a ton of special inter-related roles.  Though IRL, the day discussions can be quite fun when you do it with the same people regularly too, even in simpler games.

So hopefully things will make sense to me here, unless you've got some really weird codes you use.  Otherwise, I'll ask if something doesn't make sense.  Thanks for the welcome.

Thank you for reminding me of one of the most hilarious low-light moments of my mafia career lol.

I do remember over the last several games that happened I got frustrated with a total lack of content from the ICs (don't remember who it was at all so nothing personal if that was you), so I am going to do my best to be part of convos, even though it is a good idea to withhold some of my reads and such info. Hold me to a reasonable activity level, because I don't intend or want to hide behind IC status as an excuse to lurk.

Stay safe Didds!

Welcome! It's good to have a fresh face (username) around here. Thankfully, the pledge isn't needed all that often at all thankfully, but in those rare occasions, it's great to be able to refer to it when things happen.  I think the main thing would just be some abbreviations that we use more than a distinct code or anything. Off the top of my head, the big thing is if you see "X" in a three or four letter acronym, it stands for "exile," which is the recently adopted term in place of the traditional mafia term "lynch." From there a lot of it can probably be guessed from context, but yeah just ask if you need to!

Hey all - I am so sorry.... I made an error (surprise, yeah yeah I know :P)

I unfortunately cannot fix it, and retain fairness for the game. I have to do a complete re-roll of everything.
I know it is not awesome, but there is no way around it.
I am going to make a new thread and send new PMs out immediately, so we can get this thing rolling.

For sake of fairness, let's NOT discuss anything until after the game concludes.

I am going to act under the assumption that everyone is still on board to play. If you are not, please PM me ASAP so I can find a replacement for you.

The new Game Thread will be posted here in a moment when I have a chance to make it... and everyone will have their new QTs in their Inbox today.

Sorry again :/

Thanks, ya'll!  We are through the worst of it, I think. The power has been on consistently today, which is helpful since we have to boil water, but I am hopeful that get that solved soon. Debatepro has at least 97 containers with boiled water on our counters right now and it messes with my since of tidiness something fierce. Its snowing now, but will be in the 50s tomorrow, so I think the light is at the end of the tunnel!

Welcome mathdude!  Where are you located?

Oh, wait....  Oof!  Sorry, Swowl!

Everything from this point on will be posted in the "New Game Thread".

If you plan on getting a hold of me, please make sure to use the NEW QT you have been sent. I have hidden the originals to ensure I don't make another mistake.

Sorry again for the issues. Timeline for start should be the same. 24 hours from now I expect the game to open. That would be roughly 6pm Forum Time on February 19th.
