Mafia - the forum game
- Thread starter James R
- Start date
A few issues have come up in the thread while I've been offline.
The first thing I advise everybody to do is to re-read the rules in the first 3 or four posts of this thread again, carefully.
Here are a few things I've noticed, in no particular order:
That's not right. The best thing is to discuss things with people. Certain players have been given a little extra information here and there by the moderator as part of their role. That means that some people have received moderator PMs, while others have not. From time to time, other people may receive PMs from the moderator.
If a player has received a PM from the moderator, it does not necessarily mean that player is Mafia.
An important rule is never to quote a moderator PM in a post to this thread, if you happen to receive one. You can repeat private information in your own words if you like, or keep it to yourself, but do not just copy it so everyone can see - that's boring and besides, it might remove a possible advantage you have and nobody else has. And remember, whatever you post to the public, you're also telling the Mafia. If you're NOT Mafia, do you really want the Mafia to have perfect information?
Yes. I will always announce in large blue print when day turns to night and vice versa, and I'll also be posting a brief storyline to explain arrests and murders.
There is absolutely no pattern in any of the role assignments or Mafia assignments. ANYBODY could be Mafia, and roles were assigned totally randomly. In fact, I did the role assignments and Mafia assignments by rolling dice.
Remember that the rules of the game are that the only kind of communication allowed during the DAY is by posts in this thread. Do NOT PM other players!
Yes. DAY 1 has been long, while everybody gets a feel for the game. From DAY 2 onwards, DAY-NIGHT cycles will be 24 hours (as long as that works).
Again: Don't send PMs about the game unless it is NIGHT and you are Mafia!

Everybody votes ... including all Mafia players. Otherwise they'd give themselves away by not voting - right? And all votes count. One player, one vote. (Except for any special abilities that might alter voting.)
Which reminds me: Don't forget the special powers of your role (if you have any). Look at the first page of the thread to see what you can do, and use the power you have.
I'm going offline again now, but I'll be back around the vote deadline.
If you're not going to be here around the deadline, make sure you at least register a vote before you leave.
Note: if you really don't want to vote, you can post
Vote: No arrest
if you like.
I can't think of a good reason why you wouldn't want to vote (because other people can vote for you), but maybe you can think of reasons...
Goodnight for now. It's 2 am real time where I live.

There are 15 players, 5 of which are mobsters.
The first page gives these numbers as well.
You vote once per day, but you can change your vote whenever you want.
------------------------------------------------------------
Examples:
To vote type:
Vote: Norsefire
To change your vote type:
Unvote: Norsefire
Vote: Inzomnia
------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: You'll be alright if you read the first 5 posts of this thread, it's all there.
one vote per day, but you can change it constantly (see Betrayer0fHope for proof on that)
your last vote is the one that James will count on any given "day".

Ah, one more thing: keep an eye on the very first post of this thread. I will constantly update that thread to include all deadlines for DAY, NIGHT, voting etc.
I have given the times there in terms of universal time (or Greenwich Mean Time), so adjust for your own time zone if necessary.
Also, regarding the duration of each DAY in real time, please post if you think that 24 hours is too long or too short. If you'd prefer more time or less time, post how much time you'd like, and I'll try to settle on a time scale that suits the most people.

skaught, the body gaurd, isnt immune. Om, I said you were a towns person!
unvote: skaught
vote: domesticated om
Only a Sinner would stab a friend in the back.
On the DAY thing, it's fine the way you made it imo

Ok this is getting confusing. I would trust Betrayer0fHope to make analysis.
But at this round, I won't vote. There is too many lack of information.
I have one question but I'll re-read again from the beginning, perhaps I can
find the answer there. Meanwhile, I will post the question anyway:
Suppose X get the most vote, but he isn't mafia and hence could not be
arrested, what happens then? Is X out of the game?

Yeah, he'd be out of the game.
That's why you MIGHT want to do a Vote: No arrest so nobody gets arrested, or at least you dont vote for anyone to be arrested.

I thought that a townpeople would be killed, and a mafia would be arrested.
But what happens if the majority vote to arrest a townpeople and not a
mafia?
The mafia will certainly not kill another mafia because in the rule it is written that they will know each other, i.e. from the list
that will be given by PM by the mod (?).
Despite it is confusing, it's been interesting, James!
Btw, I haven't seen you before, welcome to the board 11parcal!
