NewMafia V : House of Cards (Game Over : Mafia Wins !)
« on: March 13, 2014, 07:31:15 am »

Welcome to NewMafia V : House of Cards

Mod: Teproc


(If you want the spec QT, PM me or /tag in this thread)

This game is a newbie game.  As such, new players will get priority signups, and this game will have a simple setup.

This game should be evenly split between newbies and vets (that is, 4 to 5 newbies and 4 to 5 vets).

A newbie is defined here as someone who has not completed any games on f.ds.  Vets are people who have completed at least three.  If we don't fill up in a reasonable amount of time, we'll change this.  If too many of one group want to play, they will be decided randomly.

The game will be House of Cards themed. However, you do not need to be familiar with the show to play, nothing about it will be spoiled, and flavor will not be related to alignment and roles. Flavor is just that, flavor.

The setup used will be Alternating 9P

Player list:
1. Nik => Peter Russo, Corrupt Politician (Town Vanilla) => lynched day 2
2. Witherweaver  => Remy Danton, Corrupt Staffer (Town Vanilla) => endgamed
3. Delirious Deleuze => Zoe Barnes, Corrupt Journalist (Town Vanilla) => killed night 1
4. Ichimaru Gin =>  Linda Vasquez, Corrupt Fixer (Town Odd-Night Doctor) => killed night 2
5. A Drowned Kernel =>  Raymond Tusk, Idealist Businessman (Mafia Goon) => won !
6. mcmcsalot =>  Claire Underwood, Corrupt Politician (Town Vanilla) => lynched day 1
7. shraeye =>  Jacqueline Sharpe, Corrupt Whip (Town Even-Night Cop) => lynched day 3
8. faust  => Doug Stamper, Idealist Staffer (Mafia Goon) => won !
9. Voltaire =>  Janine Skorsky, Corrupt Journalist (Town Vanilla) => endgamed

Basic Mafia Ruleset

The Golden Rule:

Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun!  Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game.

Please read The Civility Pledge before signing up for any mafia game on this site.  If you have not /pledged there, you cannot play.

Excessive personal attacks or uncivil behavior may be dealt with by modifiers or modkills.


Game Summary:

Mafia is a social deduction game.  There is an "informed minority" (the mafia) and an "uninformed majority" (the town).  The mafia know who each other are, and are trying to be the only people left alive.  The town doesn't know who anybody else is, and are trying to find and lynch all of the mafia.  The mafia, to make sure the town doesn't know who they are, must pretend to be town to win.  The mafia usually can kill at night, to help them in being the only ones left alive.

1. General Gameplay and Etiquette:

1. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind.  Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.  Mafia members may communicate at night and during the confirmation stage.
3. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to all mods by the posted deadline (generally 48 hours from Night start during the first few Nights; later Nights may have shorter deadlines).  If we do not receive your PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.  In case of multiple submissions, the last valid one before the deadline will be used.  If your Night action was mandatory, it will be decided randomly.
4. Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).
5. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mods know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
6. As a general rule you should aim for one post every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.


2. Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:

1. A simple majority (rounded up) of all living members must agree on one person for a lynch to occur prior to deadline.
2. Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone’s fate.  Further votes will also be ignored.
3. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until the mods lock the thread; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
4. Day deadlines will be 7 days and night deadlines will be 48 hours. During the night, all players are required to check-in with the mod via PM to confirm that they are still playing.
5. What happens when the deadline is hit and nobody has a majority of votes is up to the mod's discretion. In this game, the game will go into night without a lynch if no majority has been reached.
6. Please submit votes as: Vote: PlayerName.  Votes will NOT be counted if they are not bold or do not follow this syntax! Obvious abbreviations or nicknames will be counted so long as they are unambiguous.
7. Please submit vote revocations as either Unvote: PlayerName or Unvote. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
8. You may Vote: No Lynch - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a lynch.
9. Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post in the game or in Quicktopics. This means that you do not even get a “Bah” post. The dead in this game are silent.
10. If the thread is locked, you may not post.  Threads can be locked for various reasons, but no matter what the reason, you may not post.  The mod may forget to lock the thread, but if they say it is locked, it is still locked.
11. Do not edit or delete posts.  We don't want some players having more information than others.  If you want to clarify posts, feel free to double post. Mods will not edit posts for you.


3. Miscellaneous/Mechanics:

1. Bold, colored text is reserved for the Mods.  No invisible/small text is allowed, nor is cryptography.
2. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mods privately.  Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
3. The Mods may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently.  Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed.  These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
4. Please bold all requests to the Mods so that they don’t get missed.
5. Prods of missing players will be issued upon request after 24 hours of no activity.  A prodded player has 48 hours to respond or risks replacement.  A player who has been prodded 2 times is subject to replacement under rule 3.10 without further notice.
6. Please do not discuss ongoing games, it can unintentionally affect the other game.
7. Rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, which may include modkill(s) if needed.
8. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread.  Treat this game as a commitment.  Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
9. Players who discover they are too busy to play in a game or want to leave the game for civility issues are not allowed to officially /out in the thread.  A request to /out must only be done via a PM to the moderator.  Please do not use this as a manipulation technique.  (Note players may continue to threaten to /out or imply that they might as long as it does not include an official request).  Requests to /out are final once submitted.  There will be no /outing and then /inning back into the game so make sure that when you /out you have thought it through and really want to do it. Players that can't be replaced will simply be mod-killed.
10. If a player wants to /out, they may be replaced by anyone on D1-N1.  On D2-N2, no one from the speccy may replace the player.  After this, a player who /outs may not be replaced.  It is up to the mod's discretion whether to modkill the player or do something else under these circumstances. In this case, players who /out after Night 2 will be modkilled, even if this ends the game.

I would play as a vet.

I suggest changing the ratio of vets/newbies though. 3/6 didn't work out very well in NMIV, something like 5/4 might be better.

The problem with that is, I don't want this game to be open for signups for a billion years just so we can have a sufficient amount of newbies. Otherwise the newbies who sign up will have played in other games by then and it just never stops/starts. I mean, I agree that there should be as many newbies as possible, but I'm not sure how that can work in a reasonable timeframe.

How did that "not work" in NMIV ? I didn't read that one.

Hmm, I think I would like to play in this, but I'm currently in two other games, one or both of which might finish before this starts. Does that disqualify me for newbie status?

Nope, it does not. Honestly I copy/pasted this directly from NMIV, but I do think it makes sense. The awards consider people to be newbies in their first three games I think, so this would be your third (depending on when this starts I suppose).

Lots of newbies lead to a game where almost everyone was lurking. There were too few people around to push the discussion. And that's not a fun experience for your first mafia game.

Also, do you read me correctly? I'm suggesting less newbies, not more.

Well, this is embarassing. I thought the newbie/vet ratio suggested by NMIV was 6/3, but reversed.

So yeah, I agree with you. I actually think 4/5 and 5/4 are both pretty good. I'll change the OP.

I find it interesting that I could tell that you copied and pasted the opening to NMIV that I wrote...

Will there be special prizes for players who manage to say "You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment." at appropriate points in the game?

You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

Seriously though, I should say this will be based on the Netflix version, rather than the original, which I have not (yet) seen. I think that line is said once in the Netflix version as a nod, but that's about it.

I'm catching raerae up on season 1 of the US version, then we'll watch 2, then we'll watch the UK original.

However, we are 'currently' watching so many shows that sometimes plans like these take forever.

/tag. Hey guys. I am yuma if you don't know me. Just wanted to let you know that I compile statistics for mafia games--which can be found here and will be including stats from this game as well. The stats are obviously just for fun and some people completely ignore them while others (me basically) obsess over them. Anyways, have fun!

If, for some reason, no other vets want to play, I'll play, but I would rather them play than me.
