I'm a cop you idiot mafia




*Artanis[Xp] is helping me co-host this game. Any questions can be directed towards him or myself.

There are no coaches for this game.
+ Show Spoiler [Links to Day/Night posts go here] +

Night 0
Day 1
Night 1



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 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. 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.
12. Posting a false role PM phrased as if you received it from the host. You can still fake roleclaim, but you cannot make it look like you are posting a PM you received from the host.
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.

Questions DIFFERENT FROM STANDARD
At no point are you allowed to use the thread to communicate with the host. If I see a green text asking me something, I will modkill you without warning. You can also not say "I'm going to ask the mods this" or "I have asked them this" or anything like that. If I think your question warrants the attention of the entire thread, I will just make an announcement and not reveal who asked the question.

Note: It's okay to ask in green, and actually encouraged, before the game starts. The more we can clarify pre-game, the less questions will rise during the game.

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:
This game does not accept smurfs.

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.

Encryption:
Don't do it.

Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a modkill and a 1-game ban. This is the one part of TL where it is okay to double post or even triple-post. While you should try 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 the host, a co-host, or Blazinghand before involving the other TL staff. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can discuss the situation with other members of the TL staff.

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, or Blazinghand 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.

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 getting banned. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis, but this is a very short game. Don't sign up if you can't commit.

You have been warned.



Out of thread communication:

It is common for mafia (and town circles if PMs are allowed) to use a medium outside of TL such as QuickTopics or IRC 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.

Observers
If you would like to observe this game, please PM me for access to the observer QuickTopic. If you receive access to the observer QuickTopic, do not discuss this game with the players until this game is over.



Voting rules:

1. Voting is done 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. You may vote for ##no lynch
5. Voting is not mandatory. You may abstain.
6. This game will use Instant Majority Lynch. I will try to post vote counts regularly. Once a person is hammered, please DO NOT POST until a host resolves the flip and the game enters night.


Signups:

This game is open to anyone. Signups will remain open until 7 spots have been filled.


Game-specific rules:

Modkills:
This game follows the TL Mafia Ban List. If you are modkilled, you will be punished beyond being eliminated from this game. Please refer to the ban list thread for questions about your punishment. Please wait until this game is over to talk about modkills and bans resulting from this game.

Sitting Out:
To sit out this game, you must do these two things during the signups of this game (assuming you are not currently sitting out a different game and the game in which you were banned has finished):
1. PM the host of this game, saying you are sitting out this game.
2. Post in the TL Mafia Ban List, saying that you are sitting out this game.

Note that because this is expected to be such a short game, I don't expect we will accept sitting out, but if you think you should be able to sit out this game, let me know and I'll think about it.

Replacements
This game does not use replacements. Don't let your team down.

PMs
PMs are not allowed in this game.

Time Cycle:
This game will follow a 24 hour night/variable day cycle. For details see the game-specific rules below.

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

Game specific stuff:


This is an open setup. The following roles will be present in the game.

Cop
Doctor

Vanilla Town
Vanilla Town
Vanilla Town

Mafia Goon
Mafia Goon


Role PMs look like this (no colors).

Subject: Idiot Role

Welcome to Idiot Mafia. You are a Cop/Vanilla Town/Doctor/Mafia Goon


If it isn't obvious, Cops can investigate someone's alignment every night. There are no sanities. Doctors can protect one person from hit every night. The doctor cannot protect himself.

The game starts at night 0. The doctor CAN act during night 0. The doctor cannot protect himself. He may protect the same person in consecutive nights.

Between roles being sent out and the start of night 0, there will be 12 hours of strict silence. Roles will go out at 10:00 GMT (+00:00) and Night 0 will start at 22:00 GMT (+00:00).

Days last until a strict majority vote to lynch someone (or no lynch), at which point the day ends immediately. Artanis and I will try to post votecounts regularly, but once a majority vote is cast, the day ends. If no majority is reached before 48 hours, the day will end in a no lynch. You cannot unvote after the lynch has been hammered, and please stop talking even if the hosts are not around. Night will be 24 hours from the nightpost.

There are minimal notifications this game. Neither the doctor, nor his target will be notified of a save.

Extras

The previous game can be found here. Mafia won that game, so this game gets a slight buff to town in comparison. The next Idiot mafia game will continue this series, by making it increasingly town favoured if mafia continue to win, or adding a Mafia-favored mechanic if town win this game.

I understand that you want to buff town but this looks like a Follow The Cop scenario in the making. Cop claims N0 and Doctor protects him while mafia tries to find the Doctor or get drawn into an instant counterclaim war (which essentially informs the Cop of 3/7 alignments by D1 if he isn't killed).

I'm not entirely sure why the standard Cop, Doctor, 5 VTs vs Mafia Goon, Mafia Roleblocker, D1 start setup isn't being used. I feel like I am missing something.

There is a bit more thought in it than that. It does require scum plays more proactively than usual to counteract the town roles. Hence why they have 12 hours to discuss what to do before the game starts.

I'm not a balance expert so I don't know how valid my concerns are but I might suggest increasing that time to 24 hours (in case scum have different time-zones). This depends on who the scum team are though so I don't know if it's necessary.

Forcing scum to play more proactively is always a good thing.

In addition to the valid concerns Calix raised, I think it simply makes being vanilla town a lot less interesting in this setup when you're forced into a follow the cop on n0.

The super original version of this game had silent nights, which solves that problem while allowing the doctor to act. However the "allowed to talk" buff for town had to be countered somehow, hence the "doc inactive n0" nerf.

That being said, this is your setup, so your call.

Calix is right on the concern about it being "follow the cop" i mean, the cop should just claim on n0/d1 and have doc camp it. But at that same accord one of the mafia should CC it then in attempts to draw the doc themselves and kill cop.

I would much rather have the mafia have a factional roleblock just to prevent such scanrio. Cus no matter how good mafia plays, if the cop can generate more townfirms then mafia it makes no difference due to a potential POE.

are hydras allowed? if this gets addressed or has some sort of workaround to where its not just "cop claim, listen to results" i would love to do a hydra with silverwolf again

I thought of a roleblock. If town wins this one, that's something to consider next game. I also considered making the doctor a JK instead of a medic >:D

No reason to not keep faction KP without an explicit delivery to make that not happen.

I think this can go under 2 shot vig, cop, doc and aware miller vs 1 rb and 2 goons.
