- This game is based on the digital card game, Hearthstone. The mafia are game designers and the town are overpowered cards the designers spanked with nerfs. There are two mafia and seven town.
- There will be no cults, no jesters, no roles which can influence voting / the lynch, no false alignment reveals. No bastard mechanics.
- Not role madness, but not a simple vanilla cop 9er either. It also might not be totally balanced.
- There is night chat, but I will implement brief no-posting times around the deadlines.
- The last few games got intense and didn't end well, hopefully this can be a bit more fun & friendly to serve as something of a palate cleanser, and also get this section going again.

1. Role PMs: Don't talk about the role PM, except that you may say what role and alignment you are, any powers you may have.
Do not quote your role PM, do not screenshot your role PM. Don't talk about what time you got the role PM. Don't challenge people to prove their town status by describing the layout or formatting of the role PM. Do not reference it, explicitly or in a way that bends around the spirit of "don't discuss your Role PM." Do not speculate what is in someone's Role PM, do not refer to any wording or pictures in your Role PM, I'd prefer if you refrain from saying "Role PM" altogether. That's not what this game is about.
2. Outside communication: Don't talk about this game outside the game thread or mafia chat.
Do not talk about this game with spectators or other players, publicly or privately, outside of this game thread. Unless the game host has given you a specific communication channel to use, private communications are not allowed in this game.
Also, do not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
3. Voting Vote: Zapp Brannigan
During the Day phase, you must Vote: in bold, with a colon (I count votes using ctrl + f "Vote:", so this makes it a lot easier for me). You do not need to unvote to vote for someone else. If you want to unvote, use Vote: Unvote even though it looks weird. To vote for no lynch, use Vote: No Lynch.
Hiding your vote in a spoiler, or some other weird thing, is a good idea if you like not having your vote count.
There is no mechanic for "hammering" a majority lynch before the deadline, and there won't be locked votes in mustlynch.
4. Activity Post and vote at least a few times each Day phase.
If you go an entire day phase (48 hours) without any game-relevant posts [e.g. a single post saying "sorry I'm out all day" does not count], I will replace or modkill you, depending on sub availability. If there's a potential issue with your schedule, let me know and we can work it out.
There is no activity requirement for night.
5. Phase lengths 48 hour days, 24 hour nights
I know some people like longer or shorter phases, but this is the compromise we all have to live with. Phases end at 4 PM United States Eastern time. I believe this is 8 PM GMT.
6. The right to edit posts (gone in 60 seconds!) Do not edit your posts.
First time is a warning, second time your vote doesn't count that phase, third time is a modkill. Pretty simple rule, there's no reason you can't follow it.
If an edited post contains a vote or unvote, that vote doesn't exist and I will act as if it never happened.
7. Tied votes First past the post.
If there is a tie, the first wagon to get to that total will be lynched. For example:
Bob has 4 votes.
Fred has 3 votes.
Someone changes to Fred, putting him at 4 votes.
If Bob is still at 4 votes, Bob is lynched.
I use this method because it avoids random chance having a significant influence on the game's outcome, and also avoids delaying the game or being overly complex.
8. Flavor gaming
I'll discourage it, but it's not explicitly disallowed. It will, however, be useless.
10. Victory
Town wins when both mafia have been eliminated. Mafia wins when they reach parity with town, or parity is mechanically unavoidable.
11. Sample Role PM
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Unleash the Hounds is ruining the fun for everyone. The problem, in my opinion, is that Unleash the Hounds is so extremely good that it's the one card that makes Hunters viable.
Awesome. Whiny bitches that can't play get their way, as per usual. Now every game will be Zoo Warlock.
Player, you are Unleash the Hounds.
Unleash the Hounds is one of the simplest and most devastating combo cards available to the hunter. It also synergies with several key hunter cards, and can serve a number of different purposes, from card draw to removal to directly defeating the opponent through burst damage. Its low cost allows it to be played alongside several other cards to make these powerful combinations, especially in later rounds.
You are Vanilla Town.
You win when both of the mafia are eliminated.
Good luck, have fun, read the rules, PM me with any questions.
Patch 1.0.0.4217 (2013-12-10): Has been reworked and now reads: “(4) For each enemy minion, summon a 1/1 Hound with Charge”.
Previously:Give your Beasts +1 Attack and Charge. [1 mana, Spell, Common]
Alpha patch (unknown date, pre-May 2013): Now gives +1 Attack instead of +1/+1.
Previously:Give your Beasts +1/+1 and Charge. [1 mana, Spell, Common]
The quotes at the top are taken from the r/Hearthstone subreddit, with occasional spelling edits on my end (some are also mashed together for humorous effect). The top one is pre-nerf and generally explains why the card is unhealthy, bottom is post-nerf whining.
The description and nerf history are from the Hearthstone wiki, and have no relevance to this game other than neat trivia.
12. Anything else
If you have a question about anything else, ask me PRIVATELY. I will not answer or address questions asked publicly.
* I just remembered - when a player is lynched or dies their full role and alignment will be truthfully revealed.
These rules were mostly copy-pasted from ATPG's Pokemon Mafia.
