NewMafia III: Exploring the New Mansion (Day 2 ongoing)
« on: February 26, 2013, 01:03:16 pm »

Welcome to NewMafia III*: Exploring the New Mansion

Spectator thread QT available on request - please PM me and I will send you the link.  Thanks!

Important links:
Day 1 Start

This game is specifically for new mafia players.  Newbies will be given priority sign-ups, and appropriate considerations taken to ensure new players get the most out of their mafia experience.

This game will ideally contain 6 newbies and 3 vets (to show them the ropes).

A player will be considered a newbie if this game could be their first game ever played to completion. A player will be considered a vet if they've finished at least 3 games. There's some people who fall in between that, they can play, but would be bumped by newbies or vets to get the ideal numbers. In the event that there's too many newbies or vets who want to play they can decide amongst themselves who can play or if a decision cannot be reached I will hold a lottery. A real one with a cup and ripped up pieces of paper.

Game state:


Potential player list: (newbies marked orange, vets purple):
Mod: Jorbles
Eevee
Avalanchian replaced with angrybirds
yuma
spiritbears
BoxOfDOG
mcmcsalot Lynched D1, Mafia Goon.
werothegreat
xeiron
shraeye

Co-Mods: mail-mi, liopoil

Subs: raerae, Jimmmm

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.

Game Rules:

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.
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.

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 I post a death scene; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
4. 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.
5. Please submit vote revocations as either Unvote: PlayerName or Unvote. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
6. You may Vote: No Lynch - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a lynch.
7. Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post in the game or in Quicktopics, except for twilight.  This means that you do not even get a “Bah” post. The dead in this game are silent, but will be invited to the Spectator Quicktopic.
8. 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.
9.  This game will have 12 day days and 48 hour nights.

Miscellaneous/Mechanics:
1. Bold, blue 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 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 automatically after 48 hours of no activity or 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 3 times is subject to replacement without further notice.
6. Rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill.
7. 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.

Helpful Links:
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.

GAME SET-UP AND ROLES LISTED IN NEXT POST


*Why III instead of I? Because though this is the first newbie game called NewMafia, it's actually the 3rd newbie game run with the intention of bringing in new players, the other two being MX and MXXI.

I fall in between the two catagories, I don't need to play (I'm in two other games anyway).  But I just wanted to mention that the Jailkeeper's PM isn't there...

Also, can we PM you for the spectator QT now or do we have to wait for the game to start?

You can PM me now, but I haven't created a QT for it yet so you probably won't get access until game start.

Oh, and I should have mentioned that I am entirely new to playing Mafia (though I have watched a game or two played out).

I am also in the middle ground. I also, like sudgy, am in enough games for now, so am not going to play in this one. I'm going to follow it for sure. this setup sounds cooler then the other one, because it has more roles. I would also like to assistant-mod a game, but it seems mail-mi has already called this one. is there another game which I could maybe help out with, or is there room for two helper-mods in this one?

I guess I also might be available to sub in if a second person after anyone who raerae subs in for needs a replacement.

@liopoil: It doesn't hurt to have two co-mods, though this setup isn't complex enough to really need it, it is still useful. Would you rather be available as a sub or co-mod? For obvious reasons you can't do both.

Not to mention being a powerful weapon in future games ;)

Newer newbies can have sub spots before me.  That makes more sense than me coming first.

w.r.t. subs I'll probably just ask all potential subs and see who it works best for.
