Yes! If you need any help I'm sure one of these posters will tell you about the rules. I'll put up a link to the rules sometime tonight and begin assigning roles and such. The game should begin sometime tomorrow! There will be a discord link.... soon. Uh, I just need to make sure roles are working properly!

Discord is what is used instead of PM's for sending in night actions, and a private mafia/scum chat room.

Okay! I've played mafia and werewolf in real life before, so I'm guessing this is something of a translation of it into digital form, right? With an Umineko flare of course.

So for mechanics, will it be: send night actions to GM (you) through discord DM, and if I get a special group chat based on role, we can coordinate actions. Then for the daytime debate do we use discord or the forum?

You've got it! The game will start once I'm all organized. :)

No one posts on sunday anyways so this should be fine.

from a recent noob, heres some things to know before the game starts:

-the thread is the field of play. NEVER talk about the game outside of the thread (besides other places approved in your role pm, such as a scum chat).

-a very strict rule that isn't obvious to an in-person mafia veteran, is that you are forbidden from quoting anything the mod sends you privately. you may paraphrase but not quote. this is to prevent meta-gaming.

-the beginning of day 1 is considered "joke phase" because there's literally nothing to deduce or threads to follow yet, so people just post random bullshit. don't get caught off guard by this like i did in my first few games.


and here's a noob glossary: (as much as i can remember right now)

vt = vanilla town
nl = no-lynch
nk = night kill
pr = power role
sk = serial killer
3p = 3rd party
pgo = paranoid gun owner
rb = roleblock

lylo = "lynch or lose", an endgame scenario
mylo = "myslynch and lose", an endgame scenario
wifom = "wine in front of me", aka pointless circular reasoning
omgus = "omg you suck", aka pointless retaliatory voting
bus = "throw under the bus" aka scum attacking other scum

I keep enrolling for games in the middle of the night and then completely forgetting that I’ve done it. Then having a huge anxious gently caress moment when I remember lol. Thankfully this time it happened before the game started.

oh yeah, also some people are uncomfortable with the standard term used for town's collective kill.

in my defense i needed to use that specific term to explain some acronyms. plus, people are bound to use the term sometimes so it's good to know. its also good to know that the common alternative "lunch" means the same thing

i prefer "lunch" because its hilarious to see people debating whether to have a "steak lunch"

if i say the more loaded term, know its just cuz its what im used to

Lets get this ball rolling, please join this discord and could the first couple of people mention what channels they see? Everyone needs to join discord for anti-cheat purposes. I remember that I need to remove everyone's read permissions before assigning roles so you can't see who gets what special roles.

I edited OP with these rules, they should be generally true for this game for new to forums mafia folks.

General Mafia Rules stolen via Dancer via Yami, via Natural 20, from Somberero

1. Don't be mean to each other. This is a game, part of the game is having people react, but if you think you’re reacting badly, walk away, calm down, come back later.
2. For the lurker mechanic for this game, anybody below 10 posts per game day (before the town execution) will be allowed to be executed the following day without ending the day. This will be announced by the mod.
3. Don't edit your posts.
4. Don't talk after you're dead. I'll send you a PM to a Dead doc if you want to chat poo poo.
5. Feel free to post after the hammer/during twilight about non-game stuff.
6. Flavour is flavour, you’re welcome to pursue arguments on it if you want. However, scum are backed by fakeclaims. Additionally whilst I try to retain flavour justification for many abilities, they will not always match expectations.
7. No replacements after D2.
8. Don't directly quote any communication from me, including your role pm. If you have OOT communication with another player, the rule still applies.
9. Don't fake day actions.
10. If you are affected by a day action, do not post under any circumstances until we post the result of the Action. Everyone else is good to keep going.

A note about action language

1. An action that successfully activates and will have it's effect. "your action SUCCEEDED"
2. An action that does not successfully activate will have no effect. "Your action FAILED."
3. If a player name is ever mentioned as part of a result, this is a mod error. This is because your intended target is not necessarily who is actually targeted due to manipulative roles.
4. A "successful" target is defined as an ability resolving on someone. This does not have to be the intended target, so a redirected result will yield the same language as a result that has not been redirected.
