Newbie Mini Mafia XLII
+ Show Spoiler [Important Posts] +
Next deadline: [unparsable timestamp format]
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.
Rules:
Cheating:
Cheating includes (but is not limited to):
- Posting after death. You may have one polite goodbye post, but it may not contain any potentially game-changing information.
- Ruining the game by doing something like hand out your mafia's member list to the town or literally claim scum.
- Logging on to someone else's account to get their role or looking over someone's shoulder to get their role.
- Posting screenshots of anything.
- Posting any PM you received in connection to this game.
- Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
- Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
- Betting items outside of the game in exchange for in-game benefits.
- Sharing accounts with other players unless cleared by the host in advance. Otherwise, only you may post on your account.
Posting:
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 warned or modkilled at host's discretion.
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. If you don't want to ask your question in the thread then feel free to PM host/cohost and then you don't have to use this font. If you ask about something that's already in the thread then expect snide remarks to accompany your answer.
Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason ever. Editing will result in a warning or a modkill at host's discretion. 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 really have to edit anything.
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. This also means you should condense your posts when possible. 15 one-liners in 30 minutes is unacceptable.
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.
I'm going to warn you if you're being excessively unpleasant towards other players. If you disregard my warning then I'm going to modkill you. This is not DotA2.
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, cohost, 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. Do NOT ask for modkills or discuss modkills during the game
Smurfs:
No smurfs. I will not accept smurfs under any circumstances.
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.
Out of thread communication:
It is common for mafia to use a medium outside of TL such as QuickTopics or IRC or Skype to communicate during the game. Please be mindful that other players may be more tech savvy than you and they may attempt impersonate members of your team or attempt to infiltrate your chat. You use these media at your own risk.
Voting rules:
- Voting is done in this thread. You cannot PM me your vote.
- Please vote in the following format: ##Vote: Qatol. Votes not done in the correct fashion may not be counted. Vote counts will be updated whenever intermittently.
- No conditional voting.
- You may vote for yourself. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game.
- In the event of a tie the person with the most votes first wins (or loses).
- You may vote for a No Lynch in the format: ##Vote: No Lynch
- Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain.
Signups:
This game is open to players with 3 or fewer games on this forum. Signups will remain open until the game is full. I might let you join if you have more than three games but they were played a very long time ago. Type /in to play.
Game-specific rules:
Modkills:
This game follows the TL Mafia Ban List. If you are modkilled, your punishment will 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 flamewheel or post in the Ban List.
Replacements
This game uses replacements. If a player is modkilled then they will be replaced by a player on the replacement list if possible.
Clues:
There are no clues anywhere.
PMs
PMs are not allowed in this game.
Time Cycle:
This game will follow a 48 hour day/24 hour night cycle. In case I am not able to post around deadline, any votes after the 48 hour mark (that is any votes after 01:00 GMT (+00:00)) will not count. Currently the deadline is 01:00 GMT (+00:00), but that may be subject to change. During the night, there will be a 1 hour resolution period during which actions will not be accepted. You may post during this time. In other words, the deadline for night actions is 00:00 GMT (+00:00). Actions and votes may be posted up until the deadline, but not after (00:59 GMT (+00:00) is fine but not 01:00 GMT (+00:00)).
Credits:
Thanks to anyone who has ever hosted a game. This list grows ever longer.
Thanks to everyone who helped balance this game.
Thanks to cohost.
Thanks to coaches.
Thanks to players.
If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so. I will not compensate for ignorance!

Setup Information
Overview:
The setup is a semi-open setup for 13 players; that is, all the possible roles are given but the number of each is not known. Not all of the roles will necessarily be present. The game is inherently balanced for both sides depending on the types and numbers of roles that appear. The mafia win when they outnumber the town (and there is no SK alive) or they reach a scenario when this becomes inevitable. The SK wins if he is the last man standing or nothing can prevent this. Town wins by eliminating all mafia members (and there is no SK alive). Mafia kill power is always 1.
Supernaturals (town)
Vampire Townie - You may be a bloodsucking vampire, but you're not one of those fancy ones that gets a name. Nevertheless, you have real power: your vote and your voice. Use them well!
Miller - You are Godric. You may be a vampire, but after 3000 years you have recovered your humanity and to anybody looking, it seems you're on their side. For all intents and purposes you're a VT, but if checked by a cop, you will appear to be mafia. You are not aware of this fact and will receive the VT role pm. You win with town.
Cop - You are Jason Stackhouse. Yeah, you're not supernatural, but for some reason you are always getting mixed up with them. Basically, if you are hanging out with them, they're supernatural. You are a cop. Once per night you can check someone and will be notified of their alignment.
Role Cop - You are Sam Merlotte. You run the local bar. People gossip there, so if someone is up to something, you'll be the first to hear. You are a role cop. Every night you can check someone and will be notified of their role.
Medic - You are Bill Compton. You are Vampire. Every night, you can give a target your blood to save him from a single KP. You cannot target yourself. You cannot target the same person on two consequent nights.
Veteran - You are Eric Northman. You're a badass vampire who has been around for over a thousand years. You learned some tricks in that time and won't die easily. It takes 2 KP to kill you.
Jailkeeper - You are Russel Edgington, king vampire of Mississipi. You are one crazy ruthless vampire and your mansion serves you perfectly as a jail. Every night you can choose to kidnap someone. They are perfectly safe in your mansion, but cannot leave (that person is protected from 1 KP, but is roleblocked for the night).
Vigilante - You are Alcide Herveaux. As a werewolf you are pretty good at killing. Once per game you may say that it's full moon, turn into a wolf and rip someone's throat out. You do 1 KP damage. The KP is never refunded.
Mad Hatter - You are Marianne Forester. You are batshit crazy and will take everybody with you in your mad quest to be with your god. You have 1 bomb. At night you can place that bomb on another player, or move the bomb. When you die, the bomb blows up. If your target is lynched, your bomb is lost. If your target is shot, the bomb is returned to you.
Masoner - You are Sookie Stackhouse. Your telepathic skills let you have private conversations in your head with pretty much anybody. Every night you can pick someone to have a private chat with. Cannot pick the same person more than once, unless there is nobody new left.
Soldiers of the Sun
Goon You are a henchman of the soldiers of the sun. You may deliver KP. You win with mafia.
Godfather - You are Tara Thornton. You secretly hate all those supernaturals bringing you grief, but for some reason they keep leaving you alive and thinking you're a friend. You are able to avoid the scrutiny of cops. You may pick a role and alignment and will appear as that to any cop checks.
Role Cop - You are Andy Bellefleur. You're not the smartest cop, but you're sheriff of Bon Temps and can generally figure out what's going on in your town. Every night you can check someone and will be notified of their role.
Masoner - You're Maxine Fortenberry. Bon Temps nosiest busybody and biggest gossip. You also really hate vampires. Even so, you keep talking to everybody who wants to listen (and also to those who don't). Every night you can pick someone to have a private chat with. Cannot pick the same person more than once, unless there is nobody new left.
Roleblocker - You are Amy Burley. You've figured out that you can use silver to chain vampires up in your basement. Every night you can pick someone to block. Your target cannot perform any actions that night.
Third Party Roles
Serial Killer - You are Rene Lenier. You hate vampires, vampire sympathizers and anybody who might have come into touch with a vampire ever (read: everybody). You win if nobody else is left alive, or nothing can prevent that from happening. You have 1 KP and can choose between 1-shot bulletproof and cop immunity. You have to choose before the end of N1, or I will choose for you.
If there are any questions about the setup, they may either be PMed to me or posted in the thread in bold green text
+ Show Spoiler [Setup Notes] +The role pms above are samples. I am lazy: if there are multiples of the same role, they might share a name, they might not. The role pm you get might be different from the one above, it might be the same. It is flavour and trying to read anything into it will get you nowhere. If a roleblocker targets a jailer and the jailer targets someone else, the jailer's action will not go through. One person on the mafia team may carry out the kill each night. The mafia can choose not to kill. The mafia can kill each other. If the mafia member chosen to kill on a particular night is jailed, the kill is blocked. A mafia member may use his ability and kill in the same night. - Jailkeepers and roleblockers may target the same player twice in a row.
- A masoner picks a target during the night. The next cycle (day + night) they may then PM each other (using a QT, TL pms or whatever other communication method they want). They can talk about whatever they want. Obviously with all the game rules still applying.
- A mad hatter can hold onto his bomb if he so chooses.
- A jailkeeper only protects from KP, not from any other skills. Bombs can be planted on the target, cops can check you and you can be targeted by a masoner.
- An investigation-immune SK, same as a godfather, gets to choose during the first night what role he'll show up as to a rolecop. They will show as town to an alignment cop.
- If a mad hatter moves/places his bomb on the same night he is killed, the bomb will be on the new target.

Newbie-specific stuff
- It's already in the rules, but remember, no editing. If you feel you must correct your post, please make a second post to clarify your statements. You may put EBWOP ("Edit by way of post," a handy acronym invented by semioldguy) at the beginning of your post to indicate that you are clearing up a point you made. If your EBWOP post is several posts after your original, please quote your original post in your EBWOP post for the sake of clarity.
- Only sign up if you know you will have the time available to properly play the game. It is essential that players remain active in a newbie game, so only /in if you are able to play to your fullest.
- If there is any sort of issue, you are unsure about some mechanic, or you are just wondering if your devilish scheme is even allowed, feel free to PM me, or ask in-thread with green text. Don't feel shy; these games are meant to be a place to learn and be open.
- Behave as gentlemen (or ladies). Things get heated here, but personal attacks will not be acceptable, and will be dealt with accordingly. Remember, this is a game; have fun and happy scumhunting!
- Please do not talk about any ongoing games either in-game or pre-game. This can affect other games and is unacceptable. Please do not refer to outside-of- thread activity of players in this thread.
- If you receive coaching, don't tell town about it.
- glhf!

Ok. I didn't follow last newbie game, but everybody who offers to spend their time helping out the community is a good guy in my book. Feel free to give him constructive criticism. Feel free to have your own private vendetta. But I will not accept trash talk in the signup thread for another game.

laguerta, I am not allowing you into this game. I won't request a ban, because your post was dealt with through the TL report system. Feel free to take that as a warning on our happy little subforum as well.
I won't hold it against you, and if you're still around in a future game I host, feel free to sign up. But not this game.

Goddamn ittttt I wanted to cohost.
Oh well...next time I guess.
