Please read the rules below fully.
General Rules:
- Be respectful. Should be self-explanatory. No tolerance against racial/homophobic/sexist remarks. If you feel this rule isn't being followed, send the moderator in question a PM.
- Do not discuss the game outside of the thread unless otherwise stated. If you have a question about this, ask the mod.
- Do not quote any messages from / conversations with the moderator. If you have a question about this, ask the mod.
- Do not gamethrow. "Gamethrowing" means actively trying to undermine your, or your faction's, chances of winning.
- If you are inactive for more than 36 hours, you will receive a prod, and have 18 hours to reply. If you do not reply within 18 hours, you will be removed. However if your posts are found to not actually try to include content to futher the game, they will not count towards resetting the prod timer. Said content is evaluated under the moderator's discretion. You will be told if your post is valid or not.
- Quoting and then editing another player's post for the purpose of misleading is prohibited. Editing to simply cut down the post content to what is relevant is allowed.
- Any breaking of the above rules will be treated on a case by case basis - some will receive a warning, while others might result in higher punishment.
- Be sure to look at ObiWan's Rules for more info, some of the rolecards that will be used and the ECO if you don't know how a situation is handled.
- Lastly, If you have any questions, feel free to ask the moderator. We'll be glad to answer any doubts you may have.
Joining-specific rules:
- Joining this game is unlike any of the others, as this is done through a queue. Simply type /join, bolded, below, and you will be added to the queue.
- Be sure to enable emails for when you receive a new message. When you are added to a game, you will receive a message from the host.
- You can only play two games of NFM, unless you die before the end of D2, in which case you will be added back into the queue at the start of it automatically.
- After the end of Night 2, replacements will only be experienced members, so that newer players cannot be robbed of a full game. That is the only way a non-newbie can join.
- If you have played one non-NFM game, you may still play two NFM games. If you have joined two or more non-NFM games, you are no longer considered a newbie, and are no longer eligible to join NFM.
- NFM is to be considered a learning experience. A stepping stone. After you play NFM, you should be able to easily join a Standard game and follow along participating.
- A "newbie" classifies someone new to FM who doesn't have quite the hang of the game yet, or just someone new to the "mafia" genre in general. Experience from other forums may carry over.
- Experienced Members that join as Backups or Replacements must be "Episode Eligible", meaning that they do not have any recent warnings, have been active, have played enough games, and have not replaced out recently.
Features:
- A gamemode specifically made as a starting point for new players. Everyone plays as they normally would.
- A queue-based signups.
- D1 FAQ (FM etymology, mechanics explanation, general FM introduction, etc.)
- "Overly Involved Mod/Mom" aka Melanora will be actively answering questions in game that are brought up, along with offering ideas as to where to take the game next, so as to help explain the game to those that are new.
