Instructions Shamelessly Stolen from Cravdraa: All Honors to Him (my rules are at the bottom and his are cut out; edits have been made where necessary, in particular to status effects)

Here's the game works.
The rules of mafia are simple. Each game "day" is divided into day and night.
During the day, the players post in this topic, trying to decide which members of the Town are actually Mafia in disguise.

Each player gets one vote, and whenever one player has a majority of the town's votes, that player is lynched by the town, and is eliminated.

During the day, the town tries to decide who is acting evil, 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 or until the time limit has passed. After a player is lynched, the day ends, and it becomes night. No player may post in the thread during the 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, they PM me with their actions during the night).
Play continues in this day/night sequence until either side's victory condition is met, at which point the game is over.

Players with beneficial night abilities would be best to keep them secret, so as not to become instant nightkill targets for the mafia. Therefore, it's usually best to keep your abilities secret for at least the first portion of the game.

Zelda mafia

Because this game is zelda themed, almost everybody will have a role or item related to the games. This time I've decided to go ahead with a Wind Waker theme.

Items are a special feature of this game.
Items behave very similar to an ability you might have, but the difference is that items are usually single use, and they can be sent to other players, if you so choose. (This should be done by PMing me what the item is and who you wish to send it to.) Items can only be sent during the night, however, you can send multiple items in one night, if you so choose.
An item can be used the same night as one of your abilities, unless stated otherwise by your role.

By the way...this game has a few Hero characters. The Mafia can't win unless these fine fellows are dead.

Status ailments
While playing, you may find that some how or another you've been given a bad status. These are what you need to look out for:

Burned: Ouch! You've suffered severe burns, and talking is extremely difficult except in short bursts. If you are burned, your posts are limited to fifteen words a piece. Yikes!

Clocked: Something hit you - apparently something pretty big, because it nearly knocked your teeth out. You need to spend time nursing your jaw and can only post five times during the Day.

Basic mafia
Here's an example of a Night/Day phase.

NIGHT PHASE: There is very little to no talking. All roles with abilities must send their actions to the Game Moderator before the chosen time limit is up, otherwise, they will find their turn skipped.

ACTIONS OCCUR: The Moderator posts and explains what happens, being as vague or specific as they choose. This is where people are declared dead and whatnot, and NIGHT becomes DAY.

DAY PHASE: This is where the game gets interesting. A time limit is set, and a majority of persons still alive must be reached vote-wise on a single person. Once this occurs, that individual will be lynched, killed, and their role revealed. IF no majority is reached, then there is no lynch. Players are allowed to discuss during this phase: and where the whole 'trickery, deceit, and lies' part comes in.

ONCE A MAJORITY IS/ISN'T REACHED: The Moderator, if there is a lynch, reveals the role of the voted out person. DAY becomes NIGHT, and the cycle begins again.

You will all be getting your role PM's soon. If you have a question, DO NOT ask what your role does in this topic (common sense.)
Instead PM me your question and I'll do my best to answer it.

Wyborn's Tips and Rules

Tips

1. If you're going to vote for a person, make it easy to read. Making it in bold helps! Do it like this:
Vote: Fran Dreischer

2. Roleplaying is great, and even encouraged because it makes things more fun. However, roleplaying your secret role is a bad idea. If you are Link, do not roleplay Link! Consider roleplaying someone obscure who is not likely to be a role.

3. Trust no one! Anyone could be lying.

4. Remember to have fun!

Rules (breaking these will get you modkilled)

1. Thou shalt not talk about the game outside of the game. Several of the players are good friends outside of VGF, but we're using the honor system here, people. Don't talk about your role unless your role says you can.

2. Thou shalt not edit thy posts. This is so evidence is preserved. There should be no exceptions to this.

3. Thou shalt not quote PMs sent from the mod. You can paraphrase but that's it: this is so information I send isn't used to strongarm people.

4. Thou shalt not be a jerk. I'm serious. This is a friendly game, and we're all friends here. If you act a jerk a rock will fall on your head and all your children will be orphaned. Don't let this get personal.

5. Thou shalt not be inactive. I'm requiring three (3) posts per game day, bare minimum. Playing this game is a bit of a commitment, and it's important that everyone participates. I will make exceptions to this if I know you will be absent a bit beforehand.

6. Thou shalt not post anything game-related during the night. You can make goodnight posts and use the topic to chat in, but don't discuss game stuff at night.

7. Thou shalt send all PMs concerning night actions to me and me only. I'll take care of it guys, no problem.

The game starts on night 0.
Nothing happens on night Zero. This is just so that I can get everything set up. Please post in this topic to let me know you've gotten your Role PM. Once most of you show up, we'll begin the actual game.

I have a friend over... and *cough* ...I'm going away in 36 hours time. For five days. [This is a conspiracy to start these things when I have already booked my plans. And what can I say??? I LOVE TRAVELLING!!!]

I shall get my required posts in before I leave but IF I have no Internet after I get to where I am going, I am letting you ALL know in advance that I did not just go quiet to make you all suspicious.

USERCP

I think we'll wait for Day One to actually begin, which should be sometime tomorrow.

**S1x** · 01-26-2008, 04:37 AM

Check

Kargath · 01-26-2008, 04:44 AM

I can confirm that what HotD's saying is true - unless she was planning far ahead for this game and lied to me in our PM exchange. (I really don't think that's her style, though.)

(Just posting in case anyone wanted to point the finger at HotD saying she was imitating S_K's "computer troubles" from last game.)

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 01-26-2008, 05:52 AM

Oh, I assure you, she's leaving her primary place of residence to embark upon a journey to discover the joys of going south and hogging all the cool weather!!!!!

COOL WEATHER HOG. HOG ALL THAT COLD AIR, WILL YOU?! Just you wait... AND I'LL GET THE REST OF YOU WINTERPEOPLES TOO

p.s. she was totally lying to Kargath.

p.p.s. I remembered not to edit my post. I demand cookies as positive reinforcement.
