FM Episode IV (Town Wins) "10/10 Would Witch Again"
Posted: Mon Jul 28, 2014 10:46 pmWELCOME, TO THE FOURTH, OFFICIAL, MAFIA GAMES!!!!!
No, but seriously. Welcome to Forum Mafia Episode 4! It's about time we have an Episode again, so I'm excited to be able to host this with all of you. If you're new, careful not to let the door hit you on the way in. If you're a returning player- let's be honest, I know you secretly enjoy the slamming door.
First off, please DO NOT post in this thread if you are not living and active in this game. When the game is over, all dead players/observers will be able to give their commentary- DO NOT do this before the game ends. Your posts will be removed and you will be given a warning.
Some other rules you might want to know!
1. Be Respectful! We're an older audience, and we're all here to play around, but try to keep comments civil as a whole. There is zero tolerance on racial/homophobic/sexist remarks, please. Mafia can be a game that puts you at the edge of your seat, because people aren't listening to what you have to say. Just try to remain calm and not to go overboard. It's nothing personal- that's the first thing you need to remember. It's a game where wild emotions erupt, but within reason. Please do not deliberately go out of your way to offend others. If you're getting worked up, don't be afraid to let me or everyone know that you'll step out for a bit to regain yourself. I'll try to give people a bit of a warning if any material seems objectionable. If it's a really gross violation, I might consider replacing you from the game, so please, PLEASE don't make me do this to you.
2. No Gamethrowing actions/remarks are tolerated. Zero tolerance. Major measures may take place to prevent this from happening. This includes, but is not limited to the following: Revealing the Mafia as Mafia, Shooting the Mayor as a Vigilante, Joining the Town as a Witch, and so on. Your actions must be to play your winning conditions as intended. If you don't want to do this, let me know in advance and I will replace you with someone who will. Special circumstances in this game MAY make minor dubious actions acceptable, but I will know the difference. Please don't do this, or you may end up blacklisted from playing more Forum Mafia games with us. Also, please no screenshots of role cards/night actions to prove your role.
3. Do not edit your posts. I can't stress how important this is. It doesn't matter if you are Town, Mafia or Neutral- what people post are the only clues anyone in the game has at their disposal. If you make a slip-up, you have to work with it, because comments along those lines are the best opportunity Town has at exposing the bad guys. (You may quote posts to edit them, but DO NOT do this for malicious purposes or you will be warned.)
4. No communicating with other players about the game. Please don't do this. If you wish to communicate with a living player about the game, it has to be done through Day Phase whispers. You may not communicate with dead players while alive, unless you are the Medium using their power to do this at night, in which case, it'll still be done through me! If you are dead, however, you MAY freely discuss with other dead players about the game.
5. Inactivity. Please be active enough if you make plans to play this game. If something is up, please let me know. Otherwise, I will prod you if you do not make a post every 36 hours during the day phase. If you do not respond to the prod within 24 hours, or if I have to prod you twice, you will be removed. I might also ask to replace you if you need to be away for an long period of time.
6. Easy on the spam, please. Sometimes computers can be funny, and you post four comments in a row once. Or maybe you feel as though you aren't being heard, having made a post three hours ago. But some people are trying to use a tactic (like Jester) and they spam a LOT just to fulfill a role condition. I'll try to respect a tactic like this, but just keep it reasonable please. If your posts start flooding the thread big time, I may ask you about this.
7. Last Wills and Death Notes. You may leave a Last Will or Death Note if you wish. PM me with the subject "Last Will" or "Death Note", or just make it otherwise clear to me that this is what I'm going to be reading by your message. I'm okay with it being fairly sized, but if they're too long, I may request that you shorten it. It is also okay if you wish to leave any information behind in your notes, but I'll still ask to see this first.
8. Whispering. I will be allowing Whispers this game. Each Day Phase, all players have the right to use up to 5 whispers, no more than 150 characters per whisper. This can be done by Private Messaging me (Rickdaily12), and you can tell me who to whisper, as well as what will be said in the whisper. You may also ask me to use multiple whispers to extend your message to a player by another 150 characters per whisper. I will also publicly warn you here when you only have one left, or will require multiple whispers to send the message.
9. For the Mafia: You will have your own thread in the forums every Night Phase so that you can talk to each other, but there will be no communication with other Mafia except directly on this thread during the Day. I'll also ask you to confirm you can see this forum before the game begins.
10. ONE LAST THING! Stalemate rules are going to come into effect, very much similar to how they operate in Town of Salem.[/b] These rules basically state that if two players are left living of different alignments, whom also cannot kill the other, the game will end with the food chain of winning rights in mind:
Arsonist=Stalker > Serial Killer > Mafia > Town > Witch > Bomber
In other words, if any the non-killing-capable Town roles or some other example are left alive with an evil role, the game will end in favor of the above.
If any questions arise at any point in time, or if there's something you need to talk about, don't be afraid to approach me...
