Blitz Mafia Standard 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.

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. Dead players cannot post in their QTs.
4. 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.

Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:

1. 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.
2. Please submit vote revocations as either Unvote: PlayerName or Unvote. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
3. You may NOT Vote: No Lynch.
4. Whomever has the most votes currently on them at lynch deadline is lynched.
5. If there is a tie at deadline, the player with the most "unique" votes will be lynched.  "Unique" votes are counted by the mod concurrently with live votes, and reflect the number of different voters that have voted for that player.
6. Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone’s fate.  Further votes will also be ignored.
7. Once a player is lynched, the game enters twilight until a mod locks the thread; all players, including the one who was lynched, may continue to post during twilight.
8. Once you are dead, by any manner, you may no longer post.  For a lynched player, this means as of thread lock or flip post.
9. This game will have 24-hour days and 6-hour nights.


Miscellaneous/Mechanics:
1. Bold, colored text is reserved for the Mod.  No invisible/small text is allowed, nor is cryptography.
2. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately.  Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
3. The Mod 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 Mod so that they don’t get missed.
5. Rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill.

TO CLARIFY, I AM NOT A MODERATOR OF F.DS IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.  IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS GAME, I AM MODERATING THAT THE RULES ARE FOLLOWED AND HIDDEN ACTIONS ARE COMPLETED PROPERLY.

[ashersky]

Setup Information: Double Day Unlimited, but modified by ashersky.

9 Players:
7 Town
2 Mafia

Game-Specific Mechanics:

Note, all mechanics/rules listed here supersede the ones in the standard ruleset above.

1.  This game has a daystart.
2.  This game has double days.  Day ends when two lynches have occurred.
3.  This game has unlimited voting.  Players may vote for as many players as they want, concurrently.  Players may not cast more than one vote per player.
4.  The player who casts the hammer vote on a mafia lynch will be vengekilled.  This cannot be avoided.
5.  Town wins when there are no more mafia alive.
6.  Mafia wins when they control half the town, or that situation cannot be averted.

Game-specific Rule Changes:

1.  unvote is not a valid command.  However, unvote: playername or unvote: all are.
2.  vote: all is a valid command.  This will self-vote.
3.  Mods will be strict when counting votes.  Boldface, a space between the : and the name, and clear names are required.  See the player list for accepted name variations.
4.  No unique votes will be counted, and no hidden democracy will be implemented in the case of a tie.  If there is a tie at the deadline, all players tied will be lynched.
5.  Posting after death is strictly forbidden, and will result in a modkill of a random teammate.  This means absolutely no posts after the flip has been posted, as that ends twilight.  This really can end the game, especially if mafia break the rule, so really, follow this rule.
6.  Vote counts will be cleared after the first lynch of the day.

Role PMs:

All players will receive one of the following three PMs:

PM 1:

Role: Vanilla Townie

Abilities:
Your votes are your weapon, and they are potent.  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  You are the key to ensuring the town's safety.  Use them well.

Win condition:
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

PM 2:

Role: Mafia Goon

Abilities:
You are like a Vanilla Townie, only Evil.  Therefore, during the day, your votes are your weapon, and they are potent.
Factional communication:  During the confirmation stage, and at night, you may communicate here: QT Link
Factional kill:  Each night phase, you may perform the factional kill.

Win condition:
You win when you control 50% of the town, or nothing can stop that from happening.

PM 3:

Role: Innocent Child

Abilities:
Innocence:  You will be mod-confirmed as town in the Day 1 opening post.
Your votes are your weapon, and they are potent.  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  You are the key to ensuring the town's safety.  Use them well.

Win condition:
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

What's this? I don't even...

Uh-oh.

I demand more setup information!

[jotheonah]

Ok, I'll bite.

[Eevee]

didnt read, am in.

[Eevee]

oh i was auto-inned and the setup is a mystery. i really like you ashersky!

[Eevee]

oh i was auto-inned and the setup is a mystery. i really like you ashersky!

and i mean really really like you. awesome squared!

[Robz888]

Confirming auto in, thanks!

[Archetype]

I think I've been in enough games, of you count BM and RMM.

Let's see, IIRC: BMIV(?), BMV(?), ZMII, ZMIII, ZMV(?), Chicken Mafia, Helsinki, RMM3, Arcana II.

So, /in. Seems like this is going to be fun! But it's strange seeing your Avatar as Young Witch. So use to Shanty Town.

[ashersky]

So use to Shanty Town.

/fixed.  I was trying something new, given I got killed as Mew(2).

[yuma]

bump to follow at least...

will only be in if this is a semi-blitz game in that the days will be at least 48 hours long (my schedule won't allow for me to be in a game that has 24 hours as it wouldn't be fair to my teammates) and doesn't have a Ninja start.

Don't change the setup on my account, but if it fits these stipulations I would love to be in. If not I will just follow it from a safe distance.

[ashersky]

I would welcome discussion on day length before the game starts.  The only day lengths I consider viable for Blitz are 24 and 48 hours.

Current plan is 24-hour days and 6-hour nights (sorry yuma).  I could be convinced to double that, but I really like the pressure and stress that comes with short deadlines.  This game has ample notice for folks to plan ahead (IRL emergencies notwithstanding), and there will be no ninja start.

Stay tuned for changes to Post #2 over the coming weeks.  Things will get added often as teasers.

[Jimmmmm]

Am I right in assuming that since this is Blitz X, Blitz IX will run between now and then?

I believe SFS will be running that, yes.

Ok, I see the issue now, with the announced-well-in-advance start date.

I'll start signups for ZMIX in the next few days, and will aim for a 12/31 (Monday) start.
Will crosspost this (or similar) in that other thread where I said I was taking a few days off.

[jotheonah]

I agreed to blitz on the condition that it would happen while I was still on holiday break. When will this start?

[Insomniac]

Confirmed, thanks for the slot held, Blitz has easily become my favourite form of forum mafia.

[shraeye]

I'm thinking about it.  Too many more blitz games and I'm sure I'll get an ulcer.

[Grujah]

uh-oh.. got an exam 15th.. hmm.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

I'm thinking about it.  Too many more blitz games and I'm sure I'll get an ulcer.

Shreaye, if you play, I'll play.

[yuma]

I'm thinking about it.  Too many more blitz games and I'm sure I'll get an ulcer.

Stress doesn't cause peptic ulcers. Heliobacter pylori (a bacteria) does. This guy received a noble prize for figuring it out!

Meaning that you can still play stressful old mafia and not worry about ulcers! You might still have to worry about headaches, inability to sleep at night, involuntary twitching, spasms and swearing and cold sweats....

All of those maladies can be ameliorated with the proper bourbon.

Small spoilers trickling into Post #2.
