There have been complaints that the mafia OPs are too wordy and are beginning to resemble an EULA. With this in mind, I have (hopefully) cleaned it up a bit for future games. If you think there is anything which should be added to this, please let me know. The parenthesis signify alternatives in the case of relatively common setups which may or may not be in the game.


[image loading]

*Cohost is helping me co-host this game. Any questions can be directed towards him/her or myself.

The coaches for this game are: coach1, coach2, etc.. Please consult them if you want advice on playing the game.

Game name

Links to day/night posts go here!



Introduction:

Mafia is an educated guessing game of epic proportions. The objective of the game is to lynch or kill all mafia members before they outnumber the rest of the town. It's much like a game of poker because mafia members are also part of the town during the day and may manipulate the vote to their liking. If the mafia at any time outnumber or equal the townspeople, they win. The town's goal is to lynch all the members of the mafia.

The game is typically very active, so the thread will get big quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game. If you do not have the time or patience to read the whole thread, do not play. I will not compensate for ignorance.


Rules:

Cheating:
Cheating includes (but is not limited to):
1. Posting after death. You may have one polite goodbye post, but it may not contain any potentially game-changing information.
2. Ruining the game by doing something like hand out your mafia's member list to the town.
3. Logging on to someone else's account to get their role or looking over someone's shoulder to get their role.
4. Comparing role PM times to determine roles.
5. Posting screenshots of your inbox.
6. Posting any PM you receive from a host.
7. Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
8. Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
9. Betting items outside of the game in exchange for in-game benefits.
10. Sharing accounts with other players. Only you may post on your account.
Cheating is not tolerated here. The punishment will be severe.

Posting:

Mod Font:
This is mod font. It is reserved for moderators. Please do not use it.

Question Font:
This is question font. Use it to ask the moderators questions about the rules. Please do us a favor and read the rules before you ask anything.

Activity:
You must post in this thread once per day/night cycle and vote every day while you are alive. If you fail to do so, you will be modkilled.

Smurfs:
On April 26 2011 13:22 mikeymoo wrote:
Smurfs must PM the host because TL doesn't allow multiple accounts otherwise. If the host is unaware of smurfs, you (and/or your smurf) can be banned for having multiple accounts.


Spam:
Spam is not tolerated, nor is any off-topic material. Do not discuss Proleague here. Do not talk about Starcraft II here. Play Mafia here.

Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be modkilled. This is the one part of the site where it is okay to be double posting, even triple-posting. While I ask for everybody to post as concisely as possible, post again if you have to edit anything.

Inappropriate posts:
If you want to post something insulting or inappropriate and know the TL mods would have a problem with it elsewhere, don't post it here. If you do, a host will warn you or modkill you and request that you be banned from future games. The hosts have the final say on what is inappropriate. If you do not like how someone is talking to you, please PM a host, Flamewheel, or Mig before involving the TL staff. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can appeal to the TL staff normally.

Reporting posts:
The report button is a nice feature for regular TL, but not for this forum. We prefer to deal with things in house if possible to avoid confusion among the TL staff. If you have a problem with how someone is posting, talk to the host, co-host, Flamewheel, or Mig before using your report button. Please do not use your report button for anything other than inappropriate posts which you feel are not being dealt with adequately.

Ban discussions:
Please wait until this game is over to talk about modkills and bans resulting from this game.

Play to win.
This means you play your best to help your team win while you are alive and in the game. However, this does not mean that you should try to win by being a jerk to the other players so they all want to quit playing.

This also means that you cannot leave the game without a good reason without a ban. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. PM your host if you need to leave the game.

You have been warned.



Voting rules:

1. Voting is done (in a separate thread, located *here*) (in this thread). Please keep votes there, and only vote there. Do not PM me your vote.
2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote Qatol. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I will update vote counts whenever I get the chance.
3. No conditional voting.
4. You may vote for yourself. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game.
5. In the event of a tie the person with the most votes first wins (or loses).
6. Voting is mandatory. You may (NOT) abstain.


Signups:

This game is open to anyone (with preference for (new or experienced) players). Signups will remain open until (all (player number here) spots have been filled) (date).


Game-specific rules:

Modkills:
This game follows (does not follow) the TL Mafia Ban List. If you are modkilled, your punishment will (will not) go beyond being eliminated from this game. Please refer to it for questions about your punishment. If you want to use this game to sit out your ban, please PM Qatol or post in the Ban List.

Replacements
This game uses (does not use) replacements. Replacements will be made in the game until time in the game. If a player is modkilled during the designated time, then they will be replaced by a player on the replacement list.

Clues:
There are (no) clues.

PMs
PMs are (not) allowed in this game.

Time Cycle:
This game will follow a (24 hour night/48 hour) day cycle. In case I am not able to post around deadline, any votes after the 48 hour mark will not count and the game will be put on halt until the night post is up. Currently the deadline is time, but that is subject to change.


Credits:
Thanks to anyone who has ever hosted a game. This list grows ever longer.
Thanks to everyone who helped balance this game.

If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so. I will not compensate for ignorance!

Signups seems unedited. I'd change it to:

Oops me and my fail syntax. In which case I should point out that (date) at the end doesn't make sense.

Personally I would move the modkills section to the signups area.
It seems a bit more fitting there.

I thought about it, but there are games which don't follow the ban list, so I decided it should be in the part of the post everyone should read even if they have played before.

How so? It is supposed to signify the date on which the game will start.

This game is open to anyone (with preference for (new or experienced) players). Signups will remain open until (all (player number here) spots have been filled) (date).


As currently stated, the example reads:

This game is open to anyone with preference for experienced players. Signups will remain open until all 30 spots have been filled Jan 3.

Small differences, but it makes sense (to me)

It also isn't quite what I was intending to say there.

This game could be open to anyone with no preferences or it might have preferences given to certain players. Signups may remain open until a certain date or a certain number of spots have been filled.

Orgolove gets a final warning. This is completely unacceptable and deserves a ban, except for the fact that according to the OP, I'm supposed to give you a warning first. You're on a super short leash. One false move and you're gone. If you continue to argue or explain your actions in this thread, you will be modkilled and banned.

To all the other players, drop it immediately. Lets not make this any bigger than it already is.

Due to this situation, the model OP has been updated so the host does not feel obligated to give a warning.

Bump. I have made various changes to this (and will probably make more when the Protactinium situation is resolved). In particular, notice the smurf rule as well as the places the mod is supposed to tailor to their game are now underlined.

Now that experimental mafia II is over I'd like to request that a rule against using resources outside the thread as bargaining chips be added. Basically a rule that says Cheating is: "Using anything other than your in-game resources as a bargaining chip in the game. "If Bob isn't red, you can lynch me" is okay, but "If Bob isn't red, I'll pay you $100" and "If Bob isn't red, I'll delete my TL account" are not." (thanks to Node for the wording ^_^)

Its just unsportsmanlike, I didn't think it had to be spelled out, but apparently it does.

7. Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.

Generally I think those items fall under this rule

Not really, read experimental mafia II, blue1 says that if orange isn't mafia he will quit TL Mafia forever in an attempt to get orange lynched, its not a modkill, but it is using something outside the game as a bargaining chip.

EDIT: another example is kevconism saying "if I'm mafia I quit tl mafia forever" at lylo in XXXVII

I'm sure there are more, again, it *should* be common sense, but it can break the game.

EDIT2: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=114622&currentpage=5#97

It doesn't come up too often, but I do remember it happening a few times on TL. I remember malongo promised to quit TL Mafia if he was wrong.

It is in bad taste and I would be fine with a rule against it. Anyone else have thoughts?

I think it should be discouraged if not outright prohibited. It injects an amount of arrogance into the game that really isn't needed. TL is not running a competition to find the "best" scum hunter or the "best" scum player.

I updated this for the gambling thing and a warning to PM me or post in the ban list to sit out a game. Are the ways I phrased it okay with everyone?

Are there any other changes anyone wants to see while I'm looking at this?
