We have reached a new achievement in our forum mafia, an expansion on our previous games.  It will shine like ivory, even if that seems like a paradox.  You might want to pass on this new collection of rules, but we are in agreement that this heavy situation shall reign forever.

Welcome to BM31: Random Word Mafia!

My thoughts on this game:

The thought of claiming is like a pineapple with a hard shell but a soft fruit core. Like when you're building something out of stone, metal or wood

Basically I think the claim by randomly saying words idea i silly. Because people can just post rubbish like the above avll day and we will get nowhere

To be fair though, it would be pretty amusing if all posts in this game read like your example.

In this game, all posts will read like Joseph's post, and the small blurb at the top of this post.  The main gist of this game is that for every post, everybody has to include a randomly-designated word in their post.  Other than the specifics of this rule, the game will be run like a normal mafia game.  It is only labeled BM because of the crazy posting restriction, and all normal rules will be upheld.

The standard rules of mafia apply, with the following clarifications:

• Day deadlines are 7 days, Night deadlines are 48 hours.
• If nobody has a majority of votes at deadline, a no lynch will occur.

Here is how the posting restriction will work:

• Each player will be given random words in their QT, one hundred words at a time.  There will always be more than one hundred unused words.  (This means that at the start of the game, each player will receive two hundred words, and if they manage to use up one hundred, another hundred will be added.)
• In each post a player makes, they must use the next word on their list somewhere in their post.
• The word must be used in the context of the game.  It can be a stretch, such as Joseph's post above, but it must somehow be stretched into being relevant in some way.
• The word must be used in its original form.  For example, if the word was "talk", "talking" would not count.
• You can only use up one word at a time in each post.  You can use more words if you want to, of course, but you will then have to use it again later.
• You must follow this rule in every thread related to this game except for your own personal QTs (and the speccy).  This includes things like the Mafia QT.
• This rule must still be followed even if your post only contains a vote or a night action.
• You may not share your future words in any way.  (This is to prevent town confirming each other by posting their word lists and then scum using up their words at night.)
• In the event of a post that does not contain the required word, for the first two infractions, the player will be given a warning.  For the third infraction, the player will be modkilled.

Flavor will be based on random words.

This game will be using the Friends and Enemies and Enemies and That Other Guy setup.  It consists of

• 2 Mafia Goons
• 2 Werewolves
• 2 Masons
• 1 Backup Mason
• 4 Vanilla Townies

The Backup Mason is given a Vanilla Townie Role PM initially and will convert when one of the Masons dies.  If both Masons die at the same time, the Backup Mason will still receive a PM revealing their role and the Mason QT.  If the Backup Mason is killed before joining, they will flip as a VT, but if they are killed after joining, they will flip as a generic Mason, not as a Backup Mason (this shouldn't really matter and I couldn't find any precedent but thought I would mention it).  If the Mason is killed during the night, the Backup and the other Mason will be notified at the start of the next day but will be unable to talk to each other until the next night.

So, what setup do you guys want to do?  I'm not really connected to any setup so I'll just pick something somebody suggests.  I don't want any setup that allows people to post in more than one place at once (like daychat or neighbors), and I don't want too many people because upholding this rule will be crazy with that many people.

I'll edit this post with setup info once we figure out what the setup will be.

Whatever the setup is, it must have night-chat-only masons. Or neighborhoods, although that gets confusing with the scum QT.

/in regardless.

[WestCoastDidds]

Ohhhhhhh......I love having a neighborhood!

There's probably not going to be a neighborhood this game. So...

Forest Fire would be a good fit, to be likely to have someone's unique post restricted style longer through the game

Why do you crush my dreams? Why??

Stormlight seems good Small, easy, and manageable!

But I probably want people to die so that I won't have to moderate the posts as much...

[popsofctown]

That's not a promising attitude towards moderating.. y'all have fun

On the other hand, that's a pretty small game, so D1 should be easier. On the other hand, D4 or D5 are just as tasking...

From the player's side, the post restriction makes tree stumps more punishing, which I think is more fun since it's a penalty that isn't really added. Just the fact that everyone's posts are going to be weird by default makes dead people posting worse in a really interesting way I bet.

/hammer

This doesn't have to be the hammer if others want to play too.  I'll limit the setup we pick to 13 people at most.

[sudgy]

Also, this is coming up to the end of the term for me so I don't actually want this to start for a couple of weeks.

There's one spot left in Stormlight for anyone who wants to start sooner than a couple of weeks...

What if instead of one random word, we had to use the next two random words?
