¤You will receive an immediate modkill [pending review] upon this offense.

Typos, errors in the format, and awkward placement will be counted at the Game Moderator's discretion; the Game Moderator will not answer if something will or will not be counted. All official Vote Counts will serve as the answer to whether or not something is counted.

9) No Lynch is a valid vote target.
10) A lynch will occur when a majority of votes has been reached.

However if your absence is for an unreasonable amount of time, you may be forcibly replaced regardless of advance notification.

26) You may privately notify me via PM if you feel another player has violated any rule.
27) Any and all technical data (including PM ID#, Time Sent, View Count, File Name, URL address, etc...) is considered private information and cannot be quoted or referenced. A colour, front, image, etc... in your role PM is not technical data.
¤This offense will result in an immediate modkill.
28) Modkills during the Day Phase end said phase, skipping the Twilight Phase if the player is Town-aligned.

[collapse=Set-Up]This is a Closed Set-up for 9 Players with all roles randomly assigned only player-wise and not flavour-wise. The flavour takes various female characters from various sources as a mock-parody of Rockin's old sleepover mafia games. It is not wise to attempt to analyse the flavour due to this.
I confirm the absence of the following Independent Roles in this set-up: Contract Hitman, Jester, Mime, Politician, Rogue, Siblings, Survivor
I do not confirm the presence or absence of all other Independent Roles.
I confirm there is a Town faction [called Town in this game] and there is at least one Mafiosi faction; although I do not confirm the number of Mafiosi factions [any and all game-specific names unspecified].
I do not confirm the presence or absence of alignment-altering roles.
I do not confirm that all information relayed from the Game Moderator in private is strictly accurate; although possibly incomplete.
I do confirm that all information relayed from the Game Moderator in public is strictly accurate; although possibly incomplete.
I confirm this game will use Natural Action Resolution.
Here is a sample PM:[collapse=Example]
When you received the invitation to Ann Romney's campfire sleepover, you were ecstatic for the opportunity to spend a whole night sharing scary stories with your fellow female friends. However, when she also offered for you to co-host the sleepover, you were jumping for joy. Now you've found yourself in a situation that is quickly spiraling out of control and turning into its own horror story. You must correct this before its too late! After all, if you're up too late, you'll miss your date tomorrow morning with Stefan Salvatore.
Role: Elena Gilbert, Vanilla Townie
Abilities: Your only abilities are your voice and vote; now's the time to make them count!
Win Condition: You win once all threats to the campfire sleepover are eliminated.[/collapse][/collapse]
[collapse=About the Game Moderator]Xiivi: I am an Admin on this site and specifically a moderator of Decisive Games. I first played mafia on this site, in a game titled 'Disney Mafia' hosted by former moderator of Decisive Games 'Tom' which can be accessed in the archive. I have since played and hosted on this site, mafiascum, and others. I often go into extremely long technical wording for my games, both in the rules and the role PMs. I will often use many types of roles in order to keep the metagame diverse for players. This includes roles I dislike, disagree with, feel are unbalanced, know are unconventional, have as experimental, make from scratch, etc... I do not believe cookie cutter roles are vital, nor do I believe only one of a certain role can exist in a set-up. I feel the game of mafia is naturally balanced against the town for the majority of standard ratios when played out at a competitive level and even moreso when communication is available for non-town factions; this does not mean I will or will not attempt to counter-act for this natural balance. I do aim to make games enjoyable with flavour however it is never a focal point as that belongs to the competitive aspect. I strive for simplicity in set-ups that does not make the night phase a focal point of the game and instead keeps the day phase as the determining factor of the outcome of the game. I believe there is no proof of guilt in this game outside of mechanics and that if that is what you search for when playing you will fail in your attempts to win as town. Instead I believe town is most successful when gauging intent and then convincing others by whatever means necessary to secure a lynch. I believe non-town does not have these restrictions in getting to their win conditions, thus making those roles much easier to win with. I prefer playing as town as I feel it is significantly more challenging than non-town. I hope you play to win, but also to your enjoyment. I don't feel you should continue playing if doing so is not to your enjoyment.[/collapse]
