HOMESTUCK MAFIA


How to Play:

1. Play to win. If you give up, I will seek a Replacement for you. If you actually begin sabotaging your faction's interests, act offensively, troll or flame people in a way that's unnecessarily ad hominem or complain about the rules, I will Modkill you if I have to.
2. In this game, 'Modkill' refers to actions I take to eliminate players who break the rules. It's just the technical term, you can call it 'Hostkill' if you want. Note that if you act in a way that violates NPF Forum rules, an actual NPF Moderator will take action. If an NPF Moderator bans you, I'll seek your Replacement or 'Modkill' you if you cannot be replaced.
3. Be active. If you are not sufficiently active, I will send you PMs. If you continue to be inactive, you will be replaced.
4. Check your PMs before posting at the beginning of every 'Day' period. Failing to take heed may get you Modkilled.
5. Metagame at your own risk. Sometimes Meta works out, sometimes it doesn't.
6. 'Days' last 96 hours. During 'Day' periods you may post normally and vote on lynches.
7. 'Nights' last 48 hours. During 'Night' periods those of you with nighttime activities need to take the necessary few minutes to log in and send me a PM indicating the action you'd like to take. You may NOT post in this topic during 'Night.'
8. If you have NOT joined this game in the signup topic: Please do not post here. (Exceptions are obviously made for Mods, who can certainly enforce the NPF rules at their leisure.)

During the Day:

1. 'Days' last a default time of 96 hours. I will periodically remind you of the approaching deadline. 'Days' will never last longer. Even if I'm not present, the 'Day' will end 96 hours after it began, and all votes tabulated or posts made after the 'Day' ends will not count.
2. Deliberately posting after 'Day' ends will get you Replaced or Modkilled. I'll accept a short 'grace' period because sometimes we make mistakes, but votes will never count if cast after the deadline. If you're still posting content long after 'Day' ends, expect consequences.
3. 'Day' may end before the 96 hour period passes. Whenever anyone has more than 50% of existing players on their lynch, day will automatically end early with the lynching of the player. Again, same rules apply here as with the 96 hour deadline; after more than 50% are on a lynch, you're not supposed to talk.
4. Do not edit your posts. Period. At all. For any reason.
5. Do not directly quote any correspondence between the player and the host. Exceptions of what you can quote and what you can paraphrase will be clearly delineated in our communications.
6: Do not communicate with each other outside the game regarding this topic, even after you've died. Exceptions are clearly delineated. Even if you fall under an exception, though, you may only communicate with your partners or teammates so long as you are alive.

Voting:

1: Here is how you vote: ##Vote: Playername. Your vote must be bolded to be valid.
2: Here is how you unvote: ##Unvote. You must unvote before placing a new vote (though you can unvote and place a new vote in the same post.) And again, you must bold your unvotes for them to count.
3: If you do not follow these rules, your votes will not count.
4: You may vote 'No Lynch' at any time by typing ##Vote: No Lynch. You unvote that option the same you'd unvote anything else. If the 'No Lynch' option achieves majority support or has the most votes at the end of the 'Day', there will be no lynch.
5: Lynching is plurality-based. If there are 10 players, it takes 6 to lynch. If there is no majority by the end of the Day, the player with the most votes gets lynched.
6: If there is a tie at the end of the day, we enter a Tiebreaker. No one may talk freely; only new votes or unvotes may be tabulated. The 'Day' does not end until the tie is broken.

Claiming:

1: I'm not sure why two of you seemed to believe this, but you are under no obligation to claim your flavor or your role. You've been given information to do so if you wish, and others may ask or demand information from you, but you may choose to do so strategically whenever you'd like.
2: Remember to paraphrase a description of your role. You may quote any information about your character written by Andrew Hussie, but nothing I've written to you myself, aside from your name and title. Directly quoting anything you shouldn't is a bannable offense.
3: I've relied on color-coding a fair deal in the PMs that describe your roles. You are free to post part or all of your claims in that color, but please do not color-code every post you write here. It'll quickly become nauseating for us to look at. (Having stared at the colors myself so long while writing those messages, I've already come to regret it.)
4: It is now public knowledge that all anti-town roles have access to a Safelist of characters they can claim. (They must still come up with their own Roles for these characters.)

Contacting Me:

You may contact me regarding technical questions as to how your own role functions and how the role of any teammate or partner functions. You may also contact me at 'Night' with a brief post indicating your nighttime action, if you have one.
You may NOT contact me to ask strategic questions about what you 'should' do, how other roles in the game work, complain about how much you hate your role, complain about how I've balanced the game, complain about how much you hate your teammates or opponents, etc. Save that discussion for the postgame topic. Talking about that now risks me inadvertently leaking important information, so I simply won't respond.

You have all awoken in a poorly lit LABORATORY in THE VEIL, a large asteroid belt in the DARKNESS OF SPACE. You can hardly recognize anyone around you, but you suspect that there are POWERFUL ENEMIES in your midst.

You have until 10:45 PM EST on Saturday, July 23rd to hunt an opponent down. Yet if a MAJORITY of those marooned on the station with you AGREE to target a specific individual before then, you may TAKE ACTION accordingly.

With 15 Players Alive, it takes 8 Votes to Lynch

[Mr.Bookworm]

Random-ass guessing time!

First 4, then 13.

##Vote: Fenris

[Thadius]

##Vote: No Lynch

I'll just leave it at that.

[rpgdemon]

Hi. I'm John!

##vote: No lynch.

Dunno why we'd be even discussing killing someone right now. Shouldn't we be more concerned with figuring out what's going on?

[greed]

Demon and Thadius, it's a tradition to have random voting on day one.

##Vote: Sifright because I have no idea what his name references.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Based on the fact that no lynch is a vote which only helps scum I have the first two people on my mafia list being Thad and RPG.
##:Thad
Come on now, at least try to hide that you're scum.

[rpgdemon]

Mo' like, come on, try to learn2vote because Snake has explained that he will ignore your vote if you don't have it exactly how he asked. Meaning that you are trying not to lynch anyone, meaning that YOU are scum. First to point fingers, and all that, too.

A vote not to lynch just means that you don't end up killing off your own townspeople if you have no idea about anything.

##unvote

##vote: Smarty

[Professor Smarmiarty]

##vote:Thad

for ridiculous grammar shits.

Come on RPG. Either you're scum or you are being obtuse which is not helpful.
A first day no vote only helps the mafia. One of the towns major weapon is the lynch. If you don't use it you are giving mafia free reign to murder us. We are on a set timer before they murder us all. Not lynching just decreases the timer for us.;
You have to lynch randomly, we have no other option, if we don't lynch cause we might hit townsfolk mafia win because they kill someone every turn and they kno who they are aiming at.
There is a reason that no lynch is the classic mafia vote- because it only helps the mafia. You may hit townsfolk with lynch but you absolutely have to lynch every turn (except in extremely rare and crazy situations) because that is your way of fighting mafia and the odds in the lynch situation are better than the no lynch. Why? Because in the no lynch you have no good odds, you can't kill mafia and you are giving them a free turn and a free shot.
I'm still voting Thad because he did it first and is up to something and I think you might just be being dense but you're second on my scum list.

E:also I'm not sure if you'vr played mafia before. If you have you should absolutely know this and also know the consequences of no lynch vote which would mean you're up to something.

Re Thad Vote- Thad seems to be playing for a self-lynch, possibly has some sort of martyr role. And I'm playing into his hands but it's usually best to just do it cause we'll all tie ourselves into knots otherwise

4. Do not edit your posts. Period. At all. For any reason.

This is a warning.

[Sifright]

Hi every one!! How did we all end up here?! Ohh ohh we're voting!?

##Vote:Rpgdemon

So what are we voting on?
