Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [END]

You were definitely in a disadvantaged position, Vulgard. I admire the fight you gave it; it's what makes these games worthwhile.

If I was you, I might have tried killing Nanook and seeing if you could motivate TSP/Ender chops. That would have been very difficult too, so I understand going a different direction. I view Nanook as the one least likely to be convinced by someone else making a case, so I might just take him out and see what I can do with the others. It'd be no fun though since he stands as one of the apparent mischop options himself.

At minimum you're winning. You agreed to sub in and drew a kill. Those are the rewards you reap. I can think about Esooa getting it too rather than instead of.

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [END]

This foolproof method for determining the GOAT has reduced the candidates to:

ilario - Michael Jordan
TonyStarkPrime - Magic Johnson
Nanook - Kareem-Abdul Jabbar
EnderWiggin - Bill Russell

Special thanks to juliets and to Hally for their extremely diligent MoD efforts. While this wasn’t a perfect game for avoiding toxicity, it was a step in the right direction compared to some recent messes.

Thanks for your patience. Day 3 has ended. Lime Coke has been benched. He was LeBron James, the Kid from Akron, the Chosen One, LBJ, the single most hyped and over-scrutinized athlete in the history of professional American sports, four-time MVP, four-time NBA champion, four-time Finals MVP, 3rd all-time in scoring, 8th all-time in assists, and by the measures of many, the greatest player of all time.

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 2]

Poll is up. The deadline is 8 minutes after 6 EDT in two days to account for my lateness. A reminder regarding the majority hammer:

Regarding majority/hammer votes

After Day 1, majority voting will be enacted. There is no mechanism available to automatically close the thread when a hammer vote is placed. For this reason I will have to rely upon the players to follow these rules/guidelines themselves in the event that I am not immediately present to end the day phase:

1. Once a hammer is placed, players should cease posting in the game thread. One or two posts to indicate to everyone that the hammer has been placed would be fine.
2. Once a hammer is placed, no further votes may be placed and nobody may move their votes.
3. Any player with the capability to screen shot a poll once a hammer is placed should feel free to do so and post the screen shot directly into the thread or via personal message to me. This isn't required, but it'd be helpful.

I will be around or nearby most of the time, so I don't anticipate significant delays unless a hammer is dropped during my sleeping hours (late night/morning EDT).

Click here to review the site philosophy.


Please ensure you are familiar with these guidelines before you make any posts in this thread. After our recent spate of problematic conduct in Mafia games, my level of patience with disrespectful behaviors is a negative number. I reserve the right to modkill on sight if anyone is turning my game into a circus. Remember that if you are frustrated to the point of danger, you should always contact our Moderator(s) on Duty and/or use the "report post" feature for anything you perceive to be in violation of site rules. Thanks for your efforts to keep the the competition clean and respectful.

Contacting the host

You may send me a personal message on-site by clicking or tapping my username and then clicking "send private message". Alternatively you may contact me on Discord at JaggedJimmyJay#5544.

Moderators on Duty aka Facilitators

Both @juliets and @Hally will be serving as MoDs for this game. They'll both keep an eye on the game as best as they can, and if they see fit, intervene when toxicity is too high. They should be your first points of contact within our staff if you believe someone else has broken a site rule. If you believe someone has broken a game rule, you can contact either of them or myself. Most importantly, they're here to listen if you are frustrated and need a space to air your grievances that you cannot air publicly in the game thread. They're both the perfect sort to lend an ear and allow you to say what you will without judgment (within reason).

Game cycle details

- Day phases last 48 hours and night phases last 24 hours. Night phases are closed and the thread is locked.
- Phases end/begin at 6:00 PM EDT. It is possible I might have to wiggle this a little bit if life demands it of me. I will make my best effort to remain consistent.
- We will not have a Day 0 nor a Night 0. The game begins immediately with Day 1.

Game rules and guidelines

Spoiler: show
Voting and Claiming Rules

1.) Claim whatever you want if anything. This game has no roles.
2.) Votes in the poll are official, and I will only consider the poll votes when I resolve a day phase. It is still obligatory to call votes in the game thread, as the poll does not track voting order. Call your votes to make it possible to discern timing and order. This is not optional. Please call votes with the [ vote ][ /vote ] tags (no spaces).
3.) Votes are changeable with no limitations.
4.) Voting is not obligatory. There is no requirement to vote in any phase whatsoever. There are participation standards though, which I'll cover separately.
5.) The player who has received the most votes at the deadline shall be chopped. If a majority vote is reached (next integer above 50% the number of living players), the day phase will end immediately. There will be no majority vote in effect on Day 1.
6.) In the event of a tied vote, the chopped player shall be decided among the tied names at random.
7.) A "no elimination" option will be included each day phase. This option must lead the tally with no ties to be enacted at any time.

Participation Standard

There is no rigid standard for participation; this will be at the host's discretion. All players are expected to make a sincere effort to contribute to the game thread consistently enough that their content can be fairly judged. Non-participation has an adverse effect upon the balance of the game. If I decide a player is not participating enough to facilitate this balance, that player will be replaced. If a replacement cannot be found, there might be a modkill. With this in mind I reiterate: it's very important that everyone try to participate. At least a few posts per day/night cycle are a bare minimum.

Other

1.) Respect all guidelines and rules found in The Syndicate's announcements section. Above all else, treat your fellow players with respect -- this is just a game.
2.) BTSC (behind the scenes chatter) is only permitted in host-designated locations.
3.) No editing or deleting of posts in the game thread.
4.) Just don't make posts when you're dead unless you have been given express permission by the host.
5.) Non-players may not post in the game thread.
6.) Living players wishing to discuss something off-topic may choose to do so in {Off-Topic} Green. There's an "OT" button for this in the post editor. This is not required.
7.) This is the Host Color. I don't actually care if you use it, just don't impersonate me.
8.) If you ever have any questions about the rules, roles, or setup, please ask me privately.

Angleshooting and loopholes

Don't.

We all know what the spirit of Mafia is about. So don't. If you ever think something might be cutting it close, just ask me before doing it/saying it. Thanks gang.\
