FORMAT
1) Day periods last 48 hours. Night periods last 24 hours. No thread discussion is permitted at night, except that each player is permitted one reaction post to the lynch.
2) Mafia may only interact in BTSC at night. They will select a player to nightkill during these periods.
3) The player with the most votes each day will be lynched. Only votes made in the lynch poll will count. Ties will be decided with a coin flip.
4) Votes in the lynch-poll are changeable. On Day 1, there will also be a No Lynch option. Self-votes are permitted.
5) The civilian cop will get one free "peek" before Day 1 begins. On ensuing night periods, the cop may select another player to role-check.
6) The doctor will select one player to protect from the mafia's nightkill each night period.
7) No double-targeting (targeting the same player on consecutive nights).
8) All players on the side of the winning faction will also win, whether dead-or-alive.
9) All roles will be revealed upon death.
10) Role-claiming and info-dumping are permitted. Each player will receive a Role-Card corresponding with their alignment. Each mafia member will also receive a fake Role-Card that is similar to a civilian's.
11) At the end of the game, players may submit votes to the host for the MVP of the game.

RULES
1) No asshattery will be tolerated. This is a game, and is intended for the pleasure of everyone. Please be respectful to your fellow players, host, and mod.
2) BTSC (behind the scenes chatter) is only permitted in host-designated locations. Dead players and Non-players, there will be a Spectator Chat thread, so please make sure you post in the correct thread if you are taking advantage of this function.
3) No editing or deleting of posts in the game thread.
4) Dead players should post in the {Dead} Red if they are posting in the game thread.
5) Non-Players should similarly post in {Non-Player} Blue if they are posting in the game thread.
6) Living players wishing to discuss something off-topic should do so in {Off-Topic} Green.
7) This is the Host Color. Use it at your own risk.

Note: This game will not start until at least Sunday, November 29 due to Thanksgiving.

Also note: I've added one more paradigm to even out the likelihood of a civilian power role appearing.

I'm just here to post the obvious and then be on my way.



I get infodumping, but how can role outing work in this classic format? Why would a civilian out the cop or protector?

You've got the theme down Rico!

I'll change the verbage. Generally players will out/claim their own roles (or fake-claim or whatever), rather than someone else's role.

Sounds fun, but I'm not gonna play. I'm looking for more complicated games lately. I hope you guys have fun!

See you there.

No worries DDL, this is intended to be a very simple game.

for now. 50-60% chance of participation, unless it fills up first in which case have fun y'all!

Hi Maybe, how are you doing?

uh yes

Well, this is unique. I'm in.

Paradigm #3 all the way.

S~V~S will be your mod-on-duty this game, so if you have any issues with the host or another player, you may speak with her.

That said, Epignosis you've chosen the wrong option. You should probably switch your vote to yes.

I can't find the self-vote option on this poll.

/in

I'm in

Two games at once? Wow!

Glad to have you, and FZ too, and the other folks who signed up before.

Oh hey, I didn't notice there's an option made for me before.

You're going to listen to Rush with yourself?

I listen music only with myself most of the times.

I was rather thinking I should join the people who will listen to Rush with me.

Ture.

I'm sure MP would if he wasn't playing.

I know, right? I've lost my mind.

I can't resist this setup... and I really have been wanting to play a Classic Mafia/Heist game, AND it's the first MM-hosted game ever... so I couldn't possibly say no.

I'll listen to Rush while I play.

Hey future townies: we won't know whether the setup favors us or them when it all begins. That means effort will be required. If it ends up the all-vanilla setup, that's strongly mafia-favored and town will have to play a strong and level-headed game.

Why am I doing this in the sign-up thread? I might end up a bad guy. I'm dumb.

Almost ten thousand posts and I'm finally hosting a real game here.

Obligatory notice while we're still alignmentless: my time is somewhat restricted. Do not base your perspective of me on what I did in Talking Heads. I won't be able to play that hard in this game as much as I'd like to.

This sock is ready to put in the effort.

This sounds familiar...

Also, some more RYMers should play this.

If I end up with some ridiculous post count please ban me.

Will do.

As a side wager for this game, I'm taking bets on the Over/Under between Sockface and JagJay's post counts. Right now, MP checks in at -431.

What if I join? I pulled a decent runner up count in TH myself and I led JJJ up to the 60-posts mark or so.

Unfortunately, I can't reveal those calculations until the "/in" is official.

I posted a lot in TH considering I died Night 3.

Speaking of obligatory:

Bullsuit!

Fuck yes I love trees!!!

I'm not going to read any posts that are longer than 10 lines in this game!

I'll read the first ten lines! Or the first five and the last five... Or maybe ten random lines!

I don't like long posts

I'll just break up my 100 line posts into 10 separate posts.

That's fine

I can;t wait to play this game!!1

Should be awesome!

i believe I can tree of help here.

Because you know you can't say it in the game thread without getting unwanted attention...

I really like the list of players in this game



Can I just ask that the baddies (assuming I'm not one) don't kill me night 1 just because they don't have someone else to kill? At least if you do it, make me feel special and like I'm actually threatening you. Fake it in the BTSC conversations, if you have to, for all I care :P

A nice simple game, just as I like it.

Let's get this filled by Sunday evening!
