Cohost: Hapahauli. Bug him for ObsQT



This game follows all the standard rules for a TL Mafia game, unless specified here. If you are not familiar with them, you probably should not be playing this game. I'll post the cheating list anyway:

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 or sharing 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 unless cleared by the host in advance. Otherwise, only you may post on your account.
11. Breadcrumbing the specific phrasing of your role PM. Do not compare the phrasing in your role PM to prove your alignment. You can claim the abilities you have, but you can't use the specific phrasing of your role PM.





Palmar specific rules


  • 1. Don't be a dick.

  • 2. I will modkill you if you're a dick. Modkilling is completely at my discretion so don't try to skirt the rules, or get out on technicalities. If you're not sure you can do something, ask me before you do.

  • 3. I will always use my best judgement to resolves situations the rules don't explicitly cover. I will consult with experienced hosts if I feel that is necessary.

  • 3. All questions should be PMd to the moderator. You are not allowed to say in thread you’re going to ask the moderator something, and you are not allowed to share your answer with the thread. If the question is a clarification all town needs to know, I will simply post an announcement in the thread.

    Do not ask questions in the thread once the game has started (you can do it during sign-ups).

  • 4. There are no activity requirements. Town is responsible for moderating itself by lynching or shooting undesirable activity levels. I will however punish pointless and boring spam, and I will request warnings (or bans, depending on severity) for inactivity or spamming after the game, if you are deemed to have been playing against your win condition.

  • 5. I generally do not replace people. Don't sign up unless you can play. If you have to drop out you will be dealt with by town and remain inactive. In some situations (emergencies), I might make an exception to this rule.

  • 6. I reserve the right to modkill you on first edit. You are not guaranteed a warning.

  • 7. Important: Do not post when you should not be posting. Especially after a "Hammer" vote. If I deem your post after hammer to be important to the game, I will modkill you. Please be very mindful of the deadlines, even if a host is not around.





Game Information


Voting:

  • Voting will be done in a separate voting thread
  • Instant Majority/Deadline Majority. There will be two type of votes. Normal votes will be cast as such ##Vote playername and deadline votes are votes that will not count until the deadline, will be cast as such ##DeadlineVote playername. Because of the complicated voting system I want to ask players to take great care to format their votes correctly and make it very clear how and who they are voting.
  • If a player at any point has majority of votes on him, he dies. If a majority occurs at deadline, that player dies, if no majority is reached at the deadline, a no-lynch will occur, or other game mechanics take over.

PMs:
No private communication in this game unless your role specifically allows it

Smurfs:
Smurfs and hydras are not allowed.

Modkills:
Yes.

Time Cycle:
Day lasts 72 hours. The deadline is 22:00 GMT (+00:00).

Silent nights. Nights last 24 hours.



Thanks to everyone who puts in work to make TL Mafia as fun and lasting as it is. Special thanks to whoever created this setup! We argue because we care.

The Setup





Roles


Town (10):
Town wins when all the witches are dead

  • Inquisitor: Every night you can interrogate a player to learn if they are a Witch

  • Acolyte: At the beginning of the game, you learn the identity of the Inquisitor

  • Judge: If there is no majority for a lynch at the end of the day, you may decide on your own who to lynch.

  • Exorcist: If a member of town has been lynched on two consecutive days, you can kill a player of your choosing the following night.

  • Oracle: Every night you select a player. If that player is visited by anyone else during the night, you will learn how many witches were alive at the start of the night.
    • Possible visits: Witch Kill, Exorcist Kill, Inquisitor check, Wraith haunt, Angelic protection - even if Curse of Death is in effect.

  • Martyr: Each night you will learn who is being killed by the Witch Kill. You can then choose to save that person by sacrificing yourself for them. Your heroic death will be made obvious. If Witch Kill doesn't go through, or isn't attempted, you will learn nothing.

  • Grandier: At any point during the day you can make a deal with the devil. You sacrifice your own life for the power to immediately lynch your enemy and end the day.

  • The Pope: If at any point in the game, four or fewer players are alive at dawn, you will learn who the remaining Witches are.

  • Crusader: When the witches, or even the town mob, comes for you, you will not die quietly. You make your last stand and take down a player of your choosing with you.

  • Wandering Wraith: Even in death you still haunt the living. Every night you can haunt a player, that player will know he was visited by the Wraith. If you visit Grandier or the Pope, they will learn your identity.


Witches (3):
Witches win when all townies are dead or nothing can prevent this from happening.

  • Demon: Every night you will learn the targets of the Inquisitor and the Oracle. You will not know which target was targeted by whom.

  • Clairvoyant: At dawn, you will learn the target of the Angelic Protection from the previous night.

  • Necromancer: At dawn, you will learn the role of the player targeted by the Witch Kill.





Mechanics


  • Witch Kill: Every night the Witches select an unfortunate victim to murder.

  • Deaths: Roles and alignments will not be revealed upon death.

  • Soup: Instead of using the Witch Kill, any member of the Witch's coven can instead drink a cursed Soup. The Witch will take a sip, then name a player and a role, then drink again and repeat the process.
    • What this means is the witches will match players to roles, as many as they like. Each correctly matched player will die. The Soup kill goes through any protection and cannot be stopped. If the Witch guesses a role incorrectly, the Witch's identity will be revealed, along with the target in this format: "playername the witch tried to kill targetname the [incorrect role] but failed". However, if first the Soup target is incorrect, the witch will not be revealed and the message will instead read "a witch tried to kill targetname the [incorrect role] but failed". The Crusader will not be allowed to make a revenge kill if killed by Soup, and the Martyr will not have an opportunity to save anyone from the Soup kill.


  • The Holy Grail: On day 1 there is a plurality vote for the bearer of the Holy Grail. In the event of a tie, the Witches will decide who holds the Grail. Whoever holds the Holy Grail will have his voting power doubled. (His vote counts as 2). If the bearer of the Holy Grail dies, the Holy Grail leaves the game.

  • Angels: Death is merely a setback. Dead players will become Angels and become members of the Angel Chat (QT). In the Angel Chat, the Angels can vote to bestow upon a player the Angelic Protection, protecting them from all normal kills for the night.

    If there are less than four players alive at the start of a night, the Angels are unable to protect.

  • Curse of Death: At any point during any day, any dead witch can cast the Curse of Death. This ability can only be used once during the game. Any protections used the following night will be ineffective. The Angels will still vote on their target but it will not work. If the martyr sacrifices himself, he will die, but his sacrifice will be in vain.

    At dawn, the Angels will learn that a Curse of Death was casted the previous night, but they will not know who among them cast it. The town will learn nothing.

  • Witches Last Gasp: Any time a witch dies during the day, their power works for the coven until the end of the following night.

  • Notifications: You will not be notified of anything you don't need to know. This includes surviving a night kill.





Priorities


Day Action Priority
  • Day begins, announcements made.
  • Day ends.
  • Lynch resolves. If there is no lynch and the Judge is alive, he gets the option to select a lynch.
  • Only on Day 1: The Holy Grail is given to the winner of the vote.
  • Crusader last stand if he was lynched.
  • Curse of Death applied.
  • The Exorcist informed whether he can kill.


Night Action Priority
  • Angelic Protection
  • Kills, Witch kill, Exorcist kill, Witch Soup
  • Crusader last stand if killed
  • Martyr is told what players will die, offered to sacrifice himself to save any of them.
  • Kills resolved and players counted. The Pope informed if conditions met.
  • Information sent to roles: Inquisitor, Oracle, Wraith target, Pope, Angels, Demon, Clairvoyant and Necromancer get info.

Like. Hard to lose for town I think on TL. But it is a fun set-up. Really technical. Heroic plays are possible. Everybody got a role. Sick stuff.

/in (I am coming out of retirement to play this game for the sick children)
I had a good night of sleep.

1 post per day, please don't play. But if you can manage like 6-12 posts per day (72hr) that aren't oneliners, and you can read the game attentively, then I don't care.

20 posts a day minimum or gtfo is my moto.

Not enough people share my moto.

There is really nothing wrong with it. Last 2 games were maybe a bit bumpy but once rayn was scum and 1 time he pretended to be one.

We have played like 20 games together and most of the times there is not a problem. When I say most I mean sometimes. Yes, sometimes of the times.
I had a good night of sleep.

It's not only that. You guys post a lot and I'm uncertain if I can keep the pace of the game with that much posting :/ although I would love to play. I'll reconsider it later
