TL Mafia XLIV: A Game of Intrigue
A personal intro:
I love PM games simply because of what you can do with them. It's nice to have a friend at your back, or a fighter that will help your lynches. There is also the thrill of pulling off a successful operation, or a last minute lynch switch and you get to yell and enjoy it in real time.
This setup is designed to encourage the usage of PMs making it key to victory for both town and mafia. Please read all rules carefully as there are many differences

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. Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
5. Requesting a personal modkill for anything besides other time commitments
6. Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
7. Betting items outside of the game in exchange for in-game benefits.
8. Sharing accounts with other players.
9. Posting screenshots of your inbox
Fake roleclaims are provided before the game to all players and on request no matter your alignment.
Cheating is not tolerated here. The punishment will be severe and may extend outside the subforum
Posting:
Mod Font:
Bolded Blue 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. For a quicker response ask by PM. All questions are allowed.
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:
Allowed upon informing hosts
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. Please post again if you have to edit anything.
Inappropriate posts:
TL mafia should be a safe and exciting place where we should have fun. 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, Mig, or GMarshall 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, GMarshall, 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.
Voting rules:
1. Voting is done in a separate thread. Please keep votes there, and only vote there. Do not PM me your vote.
2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote: marvellosity. Votes not done in the correct fashion may 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. Game follows majority lynch rules meaning once a person attains a majority of votes he is instantly killed and the day ends. Should the day end before 24 hours, it will be shortened to 24 hours.
6. The only exception involves the mayor, once a person attains 50% of the votes and if the mayor is voting for that person, he or she is instantly killed and the day ends.
7. Should there be no majority candidate within the 48 timeframe of a day, a No Lynch will occur instead.
8. Voting is mandatory. You may (NOT) abstain.
Signups:
This game is open to anyone. Signups will remain open until at least 25 slots will be filled, and additional spots will be opened until signups stall.
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. Exceptions are given at the discretion of the hosts, please PM LSB for more info. 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. Replacements will be made in the game until Night 2. If a player is modkilled during the designated time, then they will be replaced by a player on the replacement list.
Clues:
No clues
PMs
PMs and out of thread communications is allowed, but harassment is not tolerated. Suggested public IRC channel is #tlmafia on quakenet. There is a link on the left sidebar.
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 00:00 GMT (+00:00), but that is subject to change. Actions/votes will be accepted up to the posted time, but not after.

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

Setup Information
This is a semi-semi-open setup. That is, all possible roles are known, but not the number of certain roles.
Day 1 Mayoral Elections
On Day 1, you will elect a mayor. Upon the election of a mayor, the mayor will select two bodyguards before the end of the night
The mayor receives the following powers: He will decide the Day 1 lynch. His vote will allow for a instant majority lynch upon 50% of the votes of the town (For example in a 12 person day, it is 7 to lynch without a mayor, and 6 to lynch with a mayor voting for the person being lynched). He cannot be killed (but he may be lynched) until his bodyguard is eliminated.
Roles
Vanilla Townie
You are a regular townie, your only weapons are your voice and your vote.
Town Butcher
You are a regular townie, however your occupation leaves you with bloodstained hands each night so you show up red to detective checks
Detective
You are a town Detective. Every night you can send in the name of a player and find out his alignment
Vigilante
You are a town Vigilante. You have one bullets that you may use to shoot people at night. You get your bullet refunded if you are roleblocked, but in no other circumstances.
Mad Hatter
You are a town Mad Hatter. You have two bombs that you can place on anyone at night. Should you die the bombs explode taken your targets with you.
Veteran
You are a town Veteran. You may survive one KP.
Doctor
You are a town Doctor. Every night you can send in the name of a player. You will protect that player from 1 kp for that night.
Mason
You are a town Mason with [Insert player names here], you survived a recent TL Mafia game as town. After said game you are certain of your fellow Mason's alignments. Unfortunately you have a weak constitution so You cannot be protected from night kills
Bodyguard
You have been promoted to a Bodyguard. As long as you are alive you will protect the mayor from any night kills. However if you are roleblocked during the night, the mayor can be killed that night.
Mafia Goon
You are a mafia Goon. You have nothing except your voice and your vote to corrupt the town.
Roleblocker
You are the Roleblocker. Every night you can send in the name of a player. This player will be unable to perform any actions during the night.
Godfather
You are the mafia Godfather. You will show up as a townie to all detective checks. For the purpose of KP calculations you count as two mafia members. You may choose to switch your role with any player on the mafia team before the first day ends. Yes this also allows you to change who is the roleblocker before the first day ends.
Other Rules
Mafia KP is (# of mafia + # of godfathers)/2 rounded down, with a minimum of 1KP. Mafia must send me the names of who they kill before the night ends. Failure of submission will result in a public notification that Mafia failed to submit their KP. Mafia may shoot/roleblock themselves or choose not to shoot/roleblock, however it requires an action submission.
Town wins when all mafia are eliminated. Mafia win when they eliminate all town, or the elimination of all town is inevitable
Medic saves are notified. Roleblocks on night actions are notified (however if you do not preform a night action you will not be notified if you do get roleblocked)

That was a typo unfortunately. Although interesting it would probably just make things more complicated

All players are welcome! My first game was a game very similar to this one. My only requirement from any player is that you maintain activity!

Should the day end before 24 hours, it will be shortened to 24 hours. Bit confused about this - so when the majority is reached in under 24 hours, all further voting is stopped, but the lynch result and Night won't be up until the 24th hour?
And if day reaches 48 hours without a majority, does a nolynch happen?
Day and Night will always start at 22:00 CST. So if a majority lynch occurs in 6 hours, the player being lynched will immediately be flipped. And then night will take place for 42 hours
Should a day reach 48 hour without a majority, a nolynch does occur, and vote related modkills will occur

Yeah I don't anticipate this starting for a while. And of course, if it does start before any major holidays, day/night extensions will be granted and you are not expected to play during major holidays.

Game Rule Change
After consulting recent TL mafia games, in the interest of balance I have increased mafia KP with the following rules
Godfather
You are the mafia Godfather. You will show up as a townie to all detective checks. For the purpose of KP calculations you count as two mafia members. You may choose to switch your role with any player on the mafia team before the first day ends. Yes this also allows you to change who is the roleblocker before the first day ends.
The change is bolded
Added Poll
Poll: How should behavior be moderated?Strictly with warnings and modkills (12) 48% No real difference between other games (7) 28% Strictly with warnings, modkills, and possible TL Bans (6) 24% Other (PM LSB) (0) 0% 25 total votes Your vote: How should behavior be moderated? (Vote): No real difference between other games
(Vote): Strictly with warnings and modkills
(Vote): Strictly with warnings, modkills, and possible TL Bans
(Vote): Other (PM LSB)
This poll is strictly for informational purposes, actual moderation behavior will be stated with the start of the game and may differ from poll results

Estimate Starting time is after PYP ends. Probably after christmas or so.
That is a strategy, the bodyguard is a confirmed townie in a sense (I feel like I will need to discuss with people if a bodyguard can be made a mafia). However remember that every time you waste medic protection on a confirmed townie means you are not protecting others, and a successful protect is the easiest way to get a confirmed townie
|
If this game reaches 20 players by December 26th, or January 2nd it will automatically start. Should it not reach 20 players by either deadline uhh... idk postponement?

I'll just remove it entirely unless someone can point to me where encryption was ever a problem here.
|
It's abusable in non-pm games I guess, I just wanted to slip in a little flair in the OP

I am unfamiliar with either game and also the actions taken against him. Was he modkilled? Why wasn't he banned?

geript, to me it seems your major concerns are about Dr. H ragequitting (and also ignoring post restrictions). I too share these concerns especially about the rage quitting.
From what Dr H has said, he will promise not to ragequit this game and will attempt to rectify his situation. Given that all bans are forgiven I will also overlook the bans of the banlist 1.0 and instead follow the current banlist.
But I will guarantee to you geript that if Dr H does indeed ragequit this game in any way shape or form, I will pursue the maximum punishment allowable under the TL Ban list, and I will also guarantee that ragequiters will be treated at least as harshly as inactive modkills.
I would like to also take this time to remind everyone in the game that it follows a majority lynch, in addition as per the poll this game will probably be heavily moderated for personal attacks.

Only 2 more signups needed for the 20 person setup! This may actually start D:
