You must read these rules before playing.
Even if your ass is shiny and metal.
Setup
~ The Town fights to keep the status quo in New New York. They seek to eliminate the mafia and any hostile third-parties. (Note - there may or may not be more than one town-aligned faction, though there will only be one main "Town" faction.) A sample townie Role PM is shown below:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
~ The Mafia are mustache-twirling villains who seek to rule New New York. They must eliminate the town and any hostile third-parties.
~ There may or may not be Third-Party factions in the game. This may take the form of additional mafia teams, serial killers, or something else. They win by eliminating the town, mafia, and any other hostile third-parties.
~ There may or may not be Neutral factions in the game. Neutral parties have their own goals. They are not a threat to mafia, town, or third-party victories.
~ There may or may not be factions which do not exactly fit into any of the above categories.
~ This game features special abilities and unique characters. Most players will be vanilla. There are no jesters, cults, or lynch-resistant roles.
~ You cannot brute force the game using a spreadsheet, mass role reveal, or your knowledge of the universe. Roles have solid cover PMs where appropriate.
~ Character name and faction will be immediately revealed when a player dies.
Posting and Communication
~ Posting is allowed during both the Day and Night phases.
~ You are allowed to post your Role PM in the thread. Mafia have good cover roles, so these prove nothing. Please spoiler it and remove the quote tags if you choose to do so.
~ Private communication with other players is forbidden, unless I explicitly tell you otherwise. You cannot privately talk about the game to living players, dead players, or people who are not in the game. This includes private messages, QuickTopics, instant messaging, and so on. The only person you can talk to about the game privately is me, or your fellow players in a host-created QuickTopic I give you access to.
~ Do not edit your posts for any reason. If you edit a post containing a vote, that vote will be rendered invalid.
~ Do not quote any private communications or post any QuickTopic links in the public game thread. Do not directly quote anything I say to you in private (with the exception of your Role PM). This also applies to screenshots.
~ Dead vanilla townies can keep posting in the thread. Any other dead players cannot.
~ You are expected to vote each day, and post at least once - more is preferred, but that is the absolute minimum. If you fail to meet those requirements, I reserve the right to remove you from the game (via substitution or modkill). Do not talk about substitutions or modkills in the thread.
Day and Night
~ Day is typically around 48 hours (always at least 40), and Night is usually about 24 hours (always at least 20).
~ There are no abilities which affect deadlines.
~ Phases may be extended for whatever reason, but they will never end prematurely.
~ A timer showing the exact amount of time remaining in the phase will be provided at each phase update and with each posted tally.
~ Vote tallies will be posted frequently throughout the Day. Players are free to make and post their own tallies, but I will not use them and they should be taken with a grain of salt.
~ During the Day, players vote for each other (e.g. Vote: Zack). Vote tags are mandatory, a simple bolding will not suffice. Unvoting is not required - simply make a new vote. Voting for No Lynch is allowed. Abstaining is not allowed at any time.
~ There may or may not be abilities which can be used during the Day phase.
~ During the Night phase, players send in night actions if they have an ability which requires one. Night action feedback will be minimal, and you may not always receive a PM from me.
I think that covers it. If you have any questions, CTRL+F the rules first, then ask me.

Zack: "Mediocre news, everyone! I'm out on parole and ready to host this game."
Zack's triumphant declaration is met with a chorus of resigned mutters.
Zack: "That's the spirit! Now lettuce find our enemies and destroy them. Romaine calm, inquisitive, and spinach."
Enemy of the State: "I didn't quite catch the last part."
Zack: "Guards! Kale this dissenter."
pew pew pew
Zack: "Blood has been spilled. I pray that is the end of it."
It wasn't.

It is now Day One.

Very odd, I actually have to doubt myself for the first time. Playing as mafia is so much simpler, you know everything already.Quote:

I agree on Visor. I don't know who those others are, so they can die or be innocent.Quote:

Best vote justification so far, which means you're probably neutral or third party.Quote:

Non-indicative, strictly speaking. But he gets a free town point for karma.

Firstly, Vig claim? Secondly, I'm not seeing why this vote is any more serious than the others, you don't appear to have a case.Quote:

i am voting winston mostly on the tone of his posts
plus that post about stork seemed fake
he also seems overly interested in this game
maybe thats because he recruited a few fellows
maybe because its an org game
i don't know
all i know is its interesting
the stork free town point post, whether town or scum, i didn't like it
Thanks for explaining your reasoning. I agree on the odd assignment of town points this early, but I dislike reading enthusiasm as mafia. For all we know at this stage, he rolled cop (assuming there is a cop) or some other power role. He also might just be happy about recruitment, as you yourself admitted.Quote:

(i doubt there is a true alignment cop in this game, they are quite rare on this site).
With Zack as a GM?
Vote: generalhankerchief
gut feeling
Arrrr. The meatbag Hankerchief says this is going to be amusing. This could be a reference to the Goodfellas film, in which ye better be careful not to be gutted, meatbag Visor. Savvy?
vote stork
please report to the nearest suicide booth for saying "bub"

El Barto seems a little more hostile than seems to make sense so far, but maybe I'm just not that familiar with his sense of humour. Visor seems reasonable so far, but he could just be mafia trying to make seemingly good reads early to establish town cred via trying harder than everyone else. Winston's assignment of town points seems a little early, but it might just be a different style. Basically, overall slight town read on Visor, no one else has really posted enough yet.Quote:

Well, you clearly don't know everything looking at that vote. Thanks for outing yourself as mafia though.Quote:

Because you were the first one to explain them, which is a move that is very risky as mafia because the longer mafia can wait before everyone is making actual cases the more time they have before they need to defend themselves.Quote:
Originally Posted by Visor

I demand to know why Newyn has only 3 posts, that is not possible I'm not that crazy! :inquisitive:
And again, Vote: El Barto for the exact same reasons as yesterday, no townie is around 3 am on a sunday morning or saturday night depending how you see it.
:)
Sounds like you're explaining why making reads is good. But why were the reads he made good reads?Quote:
Originally Posted by Dp101

Right, that's my point. Any reads at this point are a risk, so being willing to make them I see as a sign of town. Also, i liked how he calmly replied to questions about his opinion and was ok with admitting that on a couple of points he could be wrong, again, mafia would want to wait for a stronger case.Quote:
Originally Posted by novice
But you said he was making seemingly good reads.
Yes, again, because they were confident, not because they were rock solid.Quote:

So the actual content of the reads is not as relevant than the attitude with which the reads were made/the vibe?Quote:

At this stage, yes. Proper cases with better reasoning come later.Quote:

Insolent peasants.
