Phantom my Opera and call me South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut




The Stepford Wives [2004] Mafia: A CubicalSucrose Concoction is a (short?) extremely flavor-heavy game designed for 11 players (plus as many observers as Discord can handle) based off of the 2004 film starring Nicole Kidman & Christopher Walken (among others).

This is the first game I’ve moderated, there’s a reasonable chance it just fails spectacularly, and thus it might be a bad idea for new players to join this one. But I’m not your supervisor!

Rule zero: If you ever encounter anything or anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable, threatened, abused, angry, or even unsure of how you feel, there are many people here, both within and outside of the SA Mafia community, who are happily willing to listen, provide support, and enact change to make the community better for everyone.
Here is a short list of only some of the people that other players have suggested as a resource that you should never hesitate to contact: Leperflesh and Antivehicular (current Traditional Games Mods), VoodooFly, Hal Insandenza, Bifauxnen, Monathin, Wologar, Maerlyn, EccoRaven, CCKeane, Cloacamazing!, Opopanax, Sandwolf, Shellception, or whomever else you feel safer talking to!


Days will last 48 hours, possibly longer for weekends.
Nights will last 24 hours.
Deadline will be at 23:00 UTC.
If all night actions are in before deadline, there are no objections from any players, and the mod crew is agreeable, the next Day may start early with extra time allotted in.

A CUSTOM set of mafia rules apply:
- Don't be a jerk.
- Discord is necessary for this game. Please JOIN THIS ONE.
- This is actually really important, don’t be a jerk.
- Don't edit your posts (unless otherwise indicated).
- Don't copy/paste mod comms (unless otherwise indicated).
- Post “sufficient content” in a hammer-time-adjusted game day or you'll get a lurker warning (unless otherwise indicated). This is at mod discretion, but I intend to be relatively lenient. Don’t just spam posts with single numbers to hit a post count requirement, that’s not (necessarily) useful content. Don’t try to game this by being an intentionally-lurky scum. A second lurker warning is likely a modkill.
- If you need to sub out, earlier notice is better. If you think it’s not a great time for you to be playing, please don’t sign up.
- Don’t post anything with a ## except for a vote. THERE ARE NO DAY ACTIONS THAT REQUIRE A ##. Also try not to post anything even with a single #, since that gets confusing.
- Don't post after hammer (unless otherwise indicated).
- Don't post after you die (unless otherwise indicated).
- In order to actually sign up for this game, you need to include something like “I actually read the rules” in your post. A quote of someone else saying they read the rules does NOT count! Preferably you’d read the entire OP, but I do actually want the game to run.
- Don't be a jerk.
- Flips will have flavor related to the theme, but will NOT reflect any game-related cause of elimination (though they may reflect other game-related characteristics).
- Finally, don't be a jerk.

Win Conditions (unless otherwise indicated):
Town wins when all threats to town have been eliminated.
Scum wins when they have unassailable control over the vote.

Day Eliminations:
- Will be based on PLURALITY voting.
- It is possible to vote for “No elimination” (this follows plurality rules)
- In the case of ties, everyone with the most votes on them will be eliminated (if there is a tie between at least one player and “No elimination” then the player[s] WILL be eliminated).

(Also I'm not good at banners so I'm probably just going to use movie box cover art from Christopher Walken movies. Don't read anything into that flavor, just a fan of the actor. But you might benefit by skimming that Wikipedia article that's the very first link.)

Including these, because I smiled every time I saw the Shell endorsement of Hovarabord:

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

unlike sandwolf, I read the rules :smug:

Can, yes. The only IK actions I expect to take will be gameplay-related. Here's the list of special powers I seem to have acquired:

"You can change your thread's title, icon, etc., you can move it (but if you move it you won't have IK powers wherever it lands so don't do that), and you can issue sixers and put in longer probations into the queue, those only get seen automatically by admins tho so if you do see that level of misbehavior please actually just report the post so mods can deal with it.

You'll also have edit buttons on other poster's posts. Don't do that. Not even as a joke. It's strictly for serious poo poo like someone inlining porn or posting illegal things. You could edit in spoiler tags as long as you don't remove content someone posted, for something that is otherwise 100% ok if it was just spoilered, but editing a post completely destroys the record that proves the poster was the one who said those things so... yeah, If you see something bad that probably needs to be edited, you can alert a mod or admin.

You can also blank someone's avatar, don't do that unless it's again illegal or something really bad like telling a trans person to kill themselves, that blanks immediately but goes into the queue so an admin can reverse it if they disagree so that's actually not as strictly bad as post editing. We don't blank the typical redtext stuff even if it's mean or lies."

For example, I plan to change the thread tag from "Recruiting" to "Mafia" once recruiting is over.

Well, things have been better. Maybe some time away from the big city will be good. Connecticut, you say? CT.gov claims "Connecticut ranks among the nation's top states for quality of life. Great public schools, scenic suburbs, a low crime rate, vibrant yet manageable cities, access to exceptional healthcare, and a diverse array of recreational options are just a few of the reasons why so many enjoy living here."

So we'll head to Stepford and see how it goes. What's the worst that could happen?
