DOPPELGANGSTERS
10 Town vs 3 Mafia
Closed Setup Low Power Role Madness
48/24 phases. 7 pm EST SoD/EoD timings. 100 day post cap. No night posting. Minimum of 10 posts per day phase.
No hidden godfathers, unaware millers, redirectors, bus drivers, alignment conversion, soup kills (aka anti-claim kills).
Mechanics:
-Every day the jury gives a single award to the person they thought roleplayed the best. That person permanently unlocks it and (in most cases) may use it immediately on the following night. They are then excluded from future voting
-Nobody could have randed their own identity
-Thread locked at night
-Tied wagons get randed
-No hammer before LyLo
-Locked votes and hammer at LyLo
-Mafia kill is assigned and mandatory
-No yeet is a viable option
-Mafia will have a 24/7 discord chat
-If a player shares an out of thread chat with another player and rands their identity, I will forbid them from copy pasting posts in order to gain unfair advantage in mimicking, as well as "coaching" them (wrt identity). The purpose is to have fun and try your best to roleplay as best as you can by yourself!
-There will be a 24 hour Day 0
-Generally no double targeting or self-targeting unless specifically told you can
-Mafia will be allowed to use negative actions on each other, including even the factional mafia kill (as long as you don't try to self-target). This is a rule of thumb that I will be having in all of my games as I think it should be standard
-Night actions will need to be sent to me 1 hour before SoD at the latest. I will then resolve them.
-Unless specifically told, generally speaking, day actions can only be resolved 1 hour after SoD, and they cannot be resolved 1 hour before EoD. Generally speaking I will allow proxying them, if it's viable/relevant(Another rule of thumb)
-The day post cap will be lifted 1 hour before EoD, and players can then make unlimited posts until EoD
-Having a discord account is mandatory
-Mafia will be provided with multiple fakeclaims to choose from
-I might add more stuff in case I'm forgetting something
Rules:
Do not break these rules, please. I will give out warnings/compensations/modkills depending on how I judge the severity.
1. You should not mention that you have angleshooty/OGI reads. You should never mention the word "angleshoot" or "OGI" in a post period. If you attain one, make up another reason to justify the read or speculation, something that's tied to in-game stuff that other people can engage with. If you claim that "I have a dirty read on X and I can't say why" - nobody can engage with this, and I don't believe it's fair. Do not respond to other people mentioning anything regarding angleshooting, because things can have a domino effect. Just alert the host and pretend the post doesn't exist.
2. The players should not interact with the host ITT in any way. They should not ping them with questions, they should ask privately.
3. Do not refer to mod communication. That's obvious, but:
4. When having to refer to mod communication because you have no other choice (for instance, you need to ask the host on clarification on your role): Do not say "I asked tutuu and she told me this and this and that". Instead, you should say "I was told that blah blah blah". Do not clarify that you asked me something and do not clarify on the timing of this player/host communication. Leave it as ambiguous as possible.
5. Do not mention ongoing games, do not interact with them in any way shape or form. Even if you're dead in one, if that game is not completed, pretend that it does not exist. Do not mention this game in any other games you're playing as well.
6. Do not mention substitutions. Do not post reads that speculate about alignment based on substitution, do not publicly ask players to sub out, do not say that you are considering subbing out especially for game-relevant reasons.
"I'm very busy with exams, I think I'm going to sub out guys." - Generally I frown upon this but I most likely won't punish you.
"I've been very frustrated with how I was treated this game, I'm considering subbing out" - I am going to punish you for posts like these. They angleshoot you as town, please do not make them.
7. Do not try to gain information and discuss things related to the verbatim wordings of things in rolecards and night action results.
8. Do not threaten to quote your role PM, sub out, get yourself modkilled on purpose etc our of frustration. Essentially this is a form of anti-AtE rule.
9. Paraphrase as much as possible when claiming your role or night results.
10. All other standard rules that I believe everyone is familiar with: Do not contact other players illegally, do not copypaste player-host interaction, do not use ciphers, hide, delete or edit posts, do not post game-relevant stuff when you're dead, etc.
excited to play with you all.
