Welcome to Mafia 100: Forum All-Stars
It was five years ago this very month that a group of f.ds regulars decided to play a game of online mafia. Ninety-nine games later, the Forum Games community is still going strong, featuring an ever-evolving cast of dedicated players.
Who knew that people who came together because of a shared love of playing games would also love playing games?
Remember the epic scum wins and hilarious town losses. Recall the mislynches, busses, and OMGUSes. Toast the fake claims--the creative and the awful. Join me, Robz888, in a celebration of all things mafia, and sign-up for our hundredth regular game.
This will be a semi-invented, open game modeled on faust's Pick Your Power X/Y/Z setup for Mafia 40. Exact details--a list of all available PRs, role PMs, etc.--will be provided after the game has filled. The setup will be tweaked depending on the number of people playing. It's currently designed for about 18 people, but since this is a special occasion I will adjust it in order to accommodate up to 20 (ish) players. The game will not begin until either Mafia 98 or 99 are finished, or almost finished, unless otherwise agreed to by all the players.

Rules:
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. All players must have read, understood, and agreed to
the Civility Pledge.
- 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.
- If the game thread is locked, do not post. If you are unsure if something is locked, ask the mod by PM.
- Direct or verbatim quoting of mod-provided information is strictly forbidden. Paraphrasing is okay.
- Players must post once every 24-48 hours unless they have an announced V/LA. I am
less strict about this than other mods, but please, if you agree to play the game, please play the game.
- Do not edit or delete posts, ever. If you need to clarify or correct something, post again.
- Invisible text, font size less than 10, and spoiler tags are not allowed. You may not use a font color other than black.
- Cryptography is not allowed. I am
more strict about this than other mods.
See this post for examples of things I consider to be cryptography. If you are trying to set up some kind of code, it's probably illegal, and you should ask me first.
- The time between a lynch being reached and a flip being provided is called twilight. All players may continue posting during this time, including the lynched player.
- Dead players may not post in thread or QT. A lynched player is not "dead" until a flip has been provided.
- Personal multimedia, such as video or audio recordings, are not allowed in the game thread.
The Voting Rules:
- Votes should be in this format:
Vote: Playername. Votes must be bolded, must contain a colon, and there must be space between the colon and the player's name. If the vote doesn't show up on a normal CTRL + F search, it doesn't count. Capital letters are unnecessary. Unambiguous nicknames are acceptable.
- Unvotes should be in this format:
unvote or
Unvote: Playername.
- Unvotes are not required if changing your vote from oneplayer to another.
- You may
vote: no lynch.
- Lynches occur when a simple majority (rounded up) of living players is reached, or when a player receives 10 votes. Once reached, a lynch cannot be undone.
The Rest:
- If you have an issue or problem with the game, please PM the Mod. Do not post complaints in the game thread.
- 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.
- 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.
- Prods will be issued by request after 24-48 hours of inactivity unless otherwised covered by a VLA. Players are subject to replacement or modkill upon the third prod request.
- All rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, as determined by the mod.
Deadlines:
- Days will last seven IRL days.
- Nights will generally last two IRL days, but might in certain cases last longer.
SetupThis game includes
5 Mafia, 17 Townies, and
1 Odd-Night Bulletproof Serial Killer. The Serial Killer is automatically Odd-Night Bulletproof, regardless of whether the SK receives an additional PR from the slots. This causes the Serial Killer to survive a night kill on odd-numbered nights.
Mafia win condition: You win when the mafia are the only faction left alive, or nothing can prevent this from happening.Town win condition: You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated, and at least one townie is still alive.Serial Killer win condition: You win when you are the last player left alive, or nothing can prevent this from happening.If a standoff scenario occurs, it will be resolved in favor of the mafia over the town, and the Serial Killer over both other factions. (If, during the final night, only the Serial Killer and a single mafia are still alive, and they can both shoot each other, the Serial Killer has won.)
The mafia and the Serial Killer possess factional kills. A player may not perform a factional kill
and a night action, unless that player is the last living member of the faction.
Before the game begins, players will be assigned a position in the draft, 1 through 23. The method of determining draft order will not be explained ahead of time, and no one (not even the people who helped balance the setup) has been told what it is.
Please do not publicly speculate or make guesses about it during pre-game discussion.Once the draft order is determined, players will be told their position, and also, their alignment. Night 0 will begin--mafia will receive their QT--and all players will have the opportunity to bid for slots. The lowest numbered draftee wins each slot: If Galzria is draftee #12 and mcmcsalot is draftee #17, and they are the only bidders for a PR in Slot 3, Galzria wins the slot, wins the PR he wanted, and mcmcsalot becomes a Vanilla member of his faction. It occurs this way, even if Galzria and mcmcsalot were pursuing different PRs within Slot 3.
Mafia
will be able to communicate with each other and strategize about their bidding during this process.
All players are allowed to bid for any role, even if they are incapable of using that role. For instance, the Innocent Child will have no effect if the Serial Killer or mafia win it.
One final note: The mod reserves the right to re-do the draft process if it results in a manifestly un-fun distribution of roles. If everybody goes for Slot 1, forcing us to play with 1 PR and 22 Vanilla/Goons, we will have a do-over.
