    Default Bolañafia

    Welcome to Bolañafia, a mafia game with the theme of Roberto Bolaño's books! This is the thread where the game will be played and shenanigalous fun will doubtless ensue. Game will start on the 4th of Jan, 20:00 EST. (Roughly 24 hrs from now.) Don't post until then!





    Rules


    1. 8pm EST deadlines, 75 postcap lifted 1 hr before deadline.

    2. This is a normal 10:3 closed setup with full flips. (The setup was codesigned by dC, if you like anything about the roles then he is responsible for it. Everything else is my fault. Jan reviewed the setup and he is faultless no matter what. Thank them both!)

    3. Day phases will last 48 hours, Night phases will last 24 hours. There will be a 24 hour pregame period. Wolves have daytalk at all times, including pregame.

    4. Do not lie about real-life commitments. Similarly, do not question the validity of other players’ real-life commitments. If you will be inactive for a prolonged period of time, inform the game host so you can be replaced.

    5. Mafia is a game of analysis - removing a player’s ability to analyze things is against the spirit of the game. Keep references that only a handful of players would understand to a minimum. Encoded messages, hidden text, and other such methods are a no-no. Everything you have to say or not say should be clearly readable in your post by anyone.

    6. You may thank posts (but do it responsibly). Do not edit your posts. Do not quote information directly from moderator communication, your role PM, private chats, or any other sources of game communication outside the main game thread. Only living players may post in the game thread. Do not post in the game thread during the Night phase, unless your role explicitly allows you to do so.

    7. You may not privately communicate with anyone except the game moderator, unless you're explicitly allowed to do so by the game moderator. This includes using systems outside the scope of the game to communicate something game-related. Any game-related questions should be asked privately to the moderator. Do not talk about your conversations with the moderator in any game thread.

    8. Do not use out-of-game information (such as Discord, other forum activity, other mafia activity, or real-life activity) to generate reads. Do not use out-of-game information to exert pressure or influence on this game. Do not mention out of game information in the context of explaining or speculating on a player’s alignment in this game.

    9. Votes must be bolded and on a separate line using this format: Vote: player. Any votes not following this format will not be counted. You will be rewarded with frequent and (probably) accurate vote counts. :00 good, :01 bad. Votes made after modpost saying stop posting will not be counted.

    10. Majority votes will not cause a yeet until YoLo, (you’re goddamn right) where votes will be locked. The player with the most votes at deadline will be yeeted. In the event of a tie, the yeet will be randed between the tied wagons by the game moderator.

    11. Do not fake daytime activations. There may or may not be daytime abilities, but faking them will get you a Stern Warning or possibly modkilled.

    12. If you believe a player is violating one of these rules by the letter, or in spirit, contact the game moderator privately. Do NOT address the potential violation in the thread, proceed on normally.

    13. Moderator decisions are final. @Dels will be backup mod for the duration of the game.

    14. Keep the game fun for everyone, since that's why we're all here.


    Vanilla role PM:
    You are Vanilla.

    You are Town.

    You win when all threats to Town have been eliminated.

    flavor text for no particular reason (a quote from some book)

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    And then the officer of the Wehrmacht and the Chilean diplomat left the attic room together, and as they went down the interminable, precipitous stairs to the street, Jünger said he did not think the Guatemalan would live until the following winter, an odd remark for him to make, since by then it was obvious to everyone that many thousands of people were not going to live until the following winter, most of them much healthier than the Guatemalan, most of them happier, most of them unmistakably endowed with a stronger will to live, but Jünger made the remark all the same, perhaps without thinking, or not wishing to confuse separate issues, and Don Salvador agreed once again, although, having known and visited the painter over a longer period, he was not so sure the Guatemalan would die, nevertheless he agreed: Of course, Quite so, or perhaps he just made that diplomatic hmm hmm noise that can mean absolutely anything.

    There is a 75 post cap anyways, so I don't really follow your concern here
    what makes it a double edged sword? Are you worried about people underposting? I don't really see that with the PL maybe except for ladd myself tbh.

    Anyways, hello everyone! Excited to see the HUGE plays in this HUGE mafia game :)

    It's so jarring to not have 50+ posts within the first ten minutes of the game opening.

    I just want to say this

    In all the games I have participated in on this site, I have never really seen a spammer. Usually games here are pretty chill which I like.

    You are asking a person who would know as much as you about that. Yeah RVS is a thing on this site, kinda had to check to refresh my memory on that because I never really like... noted that or anything of that sort.

    Also you can literally see Visor is right there with an RVS vote.

    ---

    As a sidenote, I feel like I have to explain how to ISO people on this website to new players who aren't used to this sort of forum website that wouldn't have all the features of MU for instance.

    1. Go back to Gameroom
    2. On the right side of the screen, you should see how many views and replies a thread has.
    3. Click the number next to replies (it is a hyperlink) and a pop up will show you who's posted in the thread and how many posts they have.
    4. Click the number across from a players name and you will be shown a preview of their posts in the thread (it is not perfect as I don't think there is a way to view full posts from there without clicking the link to the post)

    Not important right now, but as the game progresses it will be useful.

    Hmmm not sure I have an answer

    If I had to guess it’s because I was in a serious headspace at the time and wanted something to happen so I was reading your post from a more serious mindset

    And also because it happened right after Syn had made some posts so I naturally assumed there was something in his posts you didn’t like. Which ties into what I found scummy about you (under the assumption your vote was serious). Because you voted him and then asked him a question instead of the other way around which is a more natural progression

    Vaimes never asked Syn a question, they asked you a question.

    Even if Vaimes' vote was serious, I don't see how that would be scummy, I mean, a post before Vaimes voted Syn, Syn was saying that visor was lock town for a post I would consider NAI, so from that stand point, I don't really see the issue with Vaimes' vote there even from a serious perspective

    You're making a lot of assumptions there, friend. Why not just ask me? Or like. Lay out the thought process that leads you to your opinions.

    Oh yeah you’re right I misremembered how it played out in my head

    They voted but then commented on something syn Said, but they did it in a way that didn’t feel like someone was speaking to their scumread (understandable if it was purely an rvs vote)

    And then they asked a question but the question pinged me so I probs just merged the two in my head when I was answering the question

    Because there wasn’t much for me to ask you there, regardless of what I asked I don’t think your answer would change much regardless of your alignment and if your vote was actually serious it would give you a chance to pass it off as one that wasn’t if I Just asked you on it

    ?

    Ok, so your claim is that because you find/found me scummy, there's no point in asking me "Why did you vote Syn?" because...you already decided I'm scummy and that taints any answer I could give. Or something. Which is silly, because if we all did that then there would be no game. Just people throwing out gutreads and voting.

    Making people commit to words is a good thing. Projecting your own thoughts/feelings onto someone else and reading them through that filter it is a bad thing.
