Mafia rules

[pevergreen]

Agree with others in the Glossary thread, this needs a clean.

My nominations of only actual rules (some slightly modified, numbers changed)

As Sasaki said:

The real Rule #1.
Rule #2: When in doubt, fake some PMs.
Rule #3: Convince people that you are innocent, even if you are.
Rule #4: "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" -- Vito Corleone
Rule #5: Lynch Sasaki. Just in case.
Rule #6: If Mafioso, build up a fake role from the onset. Reveal at appropriate moment.
Rule #7: If mafia, don't kill Sasaki. He's probably on your side, somehow.
Rule #8: This is mafia, not the boyscout knot-tieing championships. Players are supposed to backstab, lie and betray.
Rule #9: Mafia is roleplaying. Characters kill, lynch and betray. Not players.
Rule #10: Whoever is organising the secret town discussion group(PTI/PTN), is always guilty
Rule #11: Remember Rule #1.
Rule #12: Always use invisible mode
Rule #13: Never assume the new player/replacement is harmless... (privateerkev made this one, who remembers his stunning play?)
Rule #14: Reenk is Reenk
Rule #15: It's not personal, it's just business.
Rule #16: Praise every former lurker who has given up the habit.
Rule #17: Assume the worst in every possible situation.
Rule #18: The ending is always fake. If GeneralHankerchief/pevergreen is hosting, there is more than one fake ending. If the host complains about the trend of adding fake endings to their games, the ending to their game is fake fake fake!
Rule #19: Ignore the dead scum, don't even answer them back they are only contributing to confuse you and make you lynch the wrong people
Rule #20: If ATPG offers himself in the first round lynch him... if pizza offers himself any round... lynch him...
Rule #21: Very few people know the true Rule #1 anymore
Rule #22:Sometimes, one must tell the truth in order to deceive..
Rule #23: Make sure fake PMs are not made in a 5 minute time frame.
Rule #24: There's no such thing as too much pm inbox space.
Rule #25: Don't listen to the psychological warfare... If someone calls you a pure opportunist with no honor just rest easy with the knowledge that you will show them all.
Rule #26: Before giving your word on something, consider what that actually means. If you know you won't be able to go through with something, use softer terms. One's integrity should be valued and can be hard to regain.
Rule #27: Winning isn't everything.
Rule #28: There are exceptions to every rule.
Rule #29: No matter how bad things are looking for your team, never give up.
Rule #30: The Joker is banned forever.
Rule #31: See Rule #30. Yes, its worth repeating.

[Double A]

I think 30 and 31 should be enforced by the death penalty.
