RULES

HOW TO PLAY

Their are three factions: Townie, Mafia, and Independant (If there are any at all) The goal of the game is quite simple; to win, all you have to do is fulfil your win condition. The standard win conditions are as follows:

Members of the Town win when all threats to the Town have been eliminated.
Members of the Mafia win when the Mafia compromises at least half of the remaining players and nothing can prevent the same.

The game is divided up into several days, each of which is split into two phases: Daytime and Night-time.

In Daytime, players may freely post in the topic in order to find members of the Town that are actually Mafiosi in disguise. Each player gets one vote, and whenever one player receives a simple majority of the votes, that player is lynched by the Town and is out of the game. That player’s role shall be revealed at that time. Day lasts until a player is lynched, there is a majority vote to not hold a lynching (abstaining), or until a set amount of time has passed (the sun sets).

Once any of these conditions has occurred, the game will be in Twilight as we write up the conclusion of the Daytime proceedings. During this time, you should refrain from posting anything substantial in the topic. Once the conclusion has been written and the lynchee’s role revealed (if there is one), Daytime will turn into Night-time.

In Night-time, players should not post in the thread. During this time, the Mafia may choose a player to murder during the night and will notify me of that choice via PM. That player is killed and is out of the game. This also holds true to Night Actions and the like.

After a set amount of time for players to send me their actions, Daybreak will come. During this time, we will be sending you the results of your night actions via PM. Finally, I shall write an opening post, detailing the deaths (if any) that occurred, as well as any actions that would be publicly known. Once this post has been written, Night-time turns to Daytime, and regular posting may commence.

RULES

1. To vote, you must make your choice on a line by itself, bolding your text. It should look like this:
Vote: Irby
2. You may not edit your posts. No exceptions. If you need to make a correction, you must do so by posting again with your clarification.
3. You may not post anything game-related during Night-time unless your role explicitly permits you to do so. Violations may result in a modkill depending on seriousness.
4. It is to your benefit to remain active during the Daytime phases. If you will be unable to do so for non-game related reasons, please let me and/or the forum thread know in advance.
5. You may not talk to other players about this game outside of this thread unless your role permits you to do so.
6. You may not talk to other players about this game outside of this thread unless your role permits you to do so.
7. Questions concerning your role should be sent to me. Speculations about possibilities that involve elements that you cannot prove the existence of may or may not be answered.
8. You may not quote any of our PMs to you. This includes your role’s subtitle, your win condition, and everything within any PM. You may paraphrase, but you may not directly quote.
9. The first Daytime phase will last approximately five days of real time; Night-time phases will last approximately two days of real time. Daytime and Night-time lengths may be adjusted after the first day if needed.

GENERAL ADVICE
Players with beneficial abilities might consider keeping such abilities secret at first. Revealing special powers will usually draw significant Mafia attention.
It is generally not a good idea to roleplay as your given role; doing so will allow the Mafia to speculate the nature of your powers, allowing them a better decision of when it would be best to have you murdered. However, you may feel free to pick another role and roleplay it if you wish.
You may accuse someone of being Mafia without voting for them by Fingering (of suspicion) them. You may mark such in your posts by using “FoS: Irby”. You may also remove a finger on someone by using “Remove FoS: The Missing Link” (the syntax need not be exact). Doing so will not affect the vote, but you may find that FoSes work a little differently
After you vote for someone, you are still allowed to change your mind and vote for someone else. If you do so, we request that you “Un-vote: Irby” before voting for the new player.
You may also confirm or reaffirm your vote in order to clarify that you still intend to vote the same way. You may do so using “Confirm Vote: Irby” (the syntax need not be exact). Doing so will not affect the vote in any way and is there only for your benefit.
As a last ditch effort to establish credibility, you may perform a role claim. This is typically done using “Role Claim: The Missing Link” (the syntax need not be exact). Doing so will not directly affect the vote and is there only for your benefit. Please note that role claims need not be truthful. When role claiming, you may not quote any part of your PM.

MISCELLANY SPECIFIC TO SUPER MARIO MAFIA

Night Time can be extended if an action is being processed

During the game, some players may also have the ability to cause status effects on other players. Doing so will hamper that player by affecting their Night-time actions or their ability to function during Daytime.

The flavour text of your roles and of all descriptions provided to you may or may not prove helpful. It is left up to you whether or not to spaz out.

As a special note, any of the above rules may be superseded by text provided by your given role.

Ok, now I'll wait for everyone else, and we can begin!
