New Rules?!?!
I agree with chill: 2 games of any size going at a time only...
I also have thought about the rule system, for my mafia (PUT ME ON THE LIST ALREADY!!!) game I plan on using the following rule system that I revised from the original...I suggest you read it...I think all mafia games should use this system as it will keep activity and length of the games down and make it more fun for everyone!>>>I would like to name this the Drab-ligolski rule set...as it incorporates the original and my additions...lol (i am partially serious, I want at least some credit!!!)
EVERYONE MUST READ THIS; EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PLAYED A FEW GAMES. YOU MAY FIND SOME MAJOR CHANGES.
How about this rule: NO SWEARING. Bahamut edited out some curse words, so continued violation of this rule could result in consequences beyond the scope of this game. But that's not in my hands, however. EVEN IF I SEE THE STARS I WILL WARN YOU ONCE. IF YOU DO IT TWICE I WILLGIVE YOU A POSTING/VOTING RESTRICTION (varies on the offense), THAT LASTS FOR THE REST OF THAT DAY. THREE STRIKES AND YOUR OUT-> YOU DO IT A THIRD TIME, YOU ARE MODKILLED. (The strikes are cumulative.) This is a little harsh, I don't mind if you use alternatives but if it is obvious that the stars mean something then the above said applies...
In Mafia, there are a certain number of players, divided into two main groups: the Town, and the Mafia. If you are a member of the town, you win if, at any point, all non-town members are dead. If you are a member of the Mafia, you win if the Mafia ever comprises a majority of the remaining players. (For example, if there are three mafia members and two town members left, the mafia wins.) If you are neither town nor mafia, your winning conditions should be explained in the PM I send you. The way you go about winning is simple: you kill off people you don't like.
Here's how it works:
Each game 'day' is divided into day and night. During the day, players post in the thread, trying to decide which members of the town are really members of the mafia. BUT YOU CANNOT EDIT YOUR POSTS AT ANY TIME! Please post carefully! Each player gets one vote per day, and whenever one player has a majority of the town's votes, that player is lynched by the town, and is eliminated. Votes look like this:
Vote: Eorlingas
Please bold your votes.
If later, you decide to change your vote, post this:
Unvote: Eorlingas
If you don't bold the votes, then I will not count them. You won’t have any other penalties, but if some of you decide to not bold them then I might screw up the game.
During the day, the town tries to decide who is acting like a Mafioso, and debates about who to lynch. However, the mafia will try to mislead the town into lynching a town member instead.
Each day lasts until one player is lynched. After a player is lynched, the day ends, and it becomes night. No player may post in the thread during the night. However, "twilight" posting is allowed. This is posting after someone is lynched, but before I post the death scene and declare it night. During the night, the mafia chooses one player to hit, and will PM me their choice. That player is killed, and eliminated. Also during the night, some players may have night abilities (detailed after the game begins.) If they wish to use these, then they can PM me with their actions during the night. NIGHT WILL LAST 4 DAYS FOR EVERYONE…IF YOU WILL BE GONE AND THINK YOU WILL MISS A NIGHT THEN PM YOUR CHOICES OR WHAT HAVE YOU…IF YOU DON’T PM ME WITHIN 4 DAYS (96 HOURS) OF THE DEATH SCENE THEN YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK.
There are two night abilities which are part of every mafia game and they are the Doctor and the Cop.
Each night, the doctor selects one player to protect (other than him). That player cannot be killed during the night, either by the mafia hit, or by any other night abilities. The cop chooses one player to investigate. The next morning, the cop will learn whether that player is aligned to the town, or not.
Players with beneficial night abilities like this would be best to keep them secret, so as not to become instant night kill targets for the mafia. Therefore, it's usually best to keep your abilities secret for at least the first portion of the game.
After all night abilities have been received, the next day will begin. I will post in the thread the obvious results of the night actions, such as who was killed and whether they were mafia or town; however, I will not tell you who killed who. The point of the game is figuring out whom, after all.
Also, no outside communication is allowed by town members unless told otherwise. The mafia, however, can communicate with other mafia members via PM, e-mail, or whatever. The mafia knows who is in the mafia and who is in the town, but each town member is ignorant of what alignment anyone has except themselves.
Play continues in this day/night sequence until either side's victory condition is met, at which point the game is over.
Remember, this will be a rather long-term game, so if you won't be able to commit some time to this game, please, don't sign up. IF YOU DON’T POST AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK THEN I WILL WARN YOU TO GET ACTIVE…IF YOU STILL DON’T AT LEAST SAY “I AM HERE” WITHIN ONE MORE WEEK IN THE THREAD THEN YOU WILL BE MOD-KILLED!
*I WILL NOT TOLERATE INACTIVITY AS YOU CAN SEE. MAFIA GAMES ARE NO FUN WHEN NO ONE PARTICIPATES.
