ZM16: Semi-Blitz Hangman Mafia
This is a semi-blitz format, with 5 day Days and guaranteed at least 24 hour nights (maybe longer, depending on days and times).
2 Mafia Goons with factional kill and day and night chat
5 Town
1 jailkeeper (works for kills only, does not protect against Strongman kills)
The mod will choose the word to be guessed, and one letter from that word will be provided. The two factions get up to three chances during the day to pick a letter. Mafia guess their letters through the QT. Town send in letter choices by PM before a pre-set deadline. Any letters that are picked by two or more town are used as the town's guesses. If the submitted letters are all different, one letter, the first one received, will be used. Mafia will receive the results of their guesses in their QT. Town will be bcc'd the results of their guesses. Incorrect guesses result in strikes.
During the night, anyone may guess one word, by PM. For each townie that guesses incorrectly, town gets a strike. If mafia guess incorrectly, then mafia get a strike. Jailkept town cannot submit word guesses. Word guesses will be resolved in the order they come in - so nine strikes could accumulate and lead to the penalty even if someone in that faction later sent in the right word. If both mafia and town guess the word correctly in same night, they both win and get their respective rewards.
You are NOT allowed to coordinate specific letter or word guesses in thread. Posts violating this rule will be deleted and the poster will no longer be allowed to place guesses. However, town may discuss the timing of guesses or designate certain people to guess or not guess at each of the three daytime opportunities and at night. PM me if you are unsure if what you want to post is legal. Mafia may discuss in their QT, since they collectively only get one letter guess or one word guess each time.
Rewards and Penalties:
If mafia guess the word correctly, one of them (random) gets a choice of a one time Lynchproof or a two-time Strongman.
If town guess correctly, the guesser can ask the alignment of one person. Once the word has been guessed by either team, it is done. Strikes will be reset and a new word will be started the next day.
Any time either team gets >9 strikes, they can no longer make guesses and there is a penalty. For town, a random member of their team is mod-killed. For mafia, they lose that night's nightkill. The other team gets to continue until they have guessed the word or lost.
THE USE OF DICTIONARIES OR COMPUTER PROGRAMS IS STRICTLY DISALLOWED.

PM's
Welcome to Hangman, [PlayerName]. You are a Vanilla Townie .
- Your weapon is your vote, use it well.
- During the designated guessing periods, you may PM the mod the letter you want to guess for the Hangman word. Any letters submitted by two or more town will be used as guesses. If no letter is submitted more than once, the first letter received will be used. If a letter being used is not in the word, Town receives a strike. If town gets more than 9 strikes, one member will be randomly chosen to be mod-killed. If you are the first to guess the word correctly before getting more than 9 strikes, you can find out the alignment of one player of your choice at the end of the Day.
You win when all threats to the Town have been eliminated and there is at least one Town player alive.
Welcome to Hangman, [PlayerName]. You are a Town-Aligned Jailkeeper.
- Once each night you can submit the name of a player. That player will be put in jail between days, unable to take any actions, including letter guesses, and protected from mafia kills (but not from the mod-kill).
- During the designated guessing periods, you may PM the mod the letter you want to guess for the Hangman word. Any letters submitted by two or more town will be used as guesses. If no letter is submitted more than once, the first letter received will be used. If a letter being used is not in the word, Town receives a strike. If town gets more than 9 strikes, one member will be randomly chosen to be mod-killed. If you are the first to guess the word correctly before getting more than 9 strikes, you can find out the alignment of one player of your choice.

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. The length of deadlines is up to the mod's discretion.
This game will have 5 day Days and 1-2 day nights.5.
What happens whenIf the deadline is hit and nobody has a majority of votes
there will be a no-lynch is up to the mod's discretion.
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 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 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
(haha!).
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. This is a small game, and will be very adversely affected by the loss of even one player. I expect everyone in it to play to the best of their ability and not quit out of "pique". If real life makes it impossible for you to continue playing, please let me know right away so I can look for a replacement. 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 to replace players after N2 or resort to other solutions, including possible modkill.Helpful Links:
