#0: Game Managers (and the Holy Mafia Trinity) are the hosts and we reserve the rights to change these rules.
We are the final arbiter of role interactions and game rule infringements. We will never lie or intentionally mislead you. If you have a problem with a ruling we make, do not bring it up in thread.
#1: Have fun, be respectful towards the other players and follow the normal forum rules. This is a game, which we're playing for fun. Expect a low tolerance for flaming.
You are responsible for following all forum and subforum rules and guidelines. Forum-wide rules are available here. Mafia Society rules are available here and here.
Mafia is a game, we’re here to have fun. Please be respectful of your fellow players. Sometimes emotions run high and we get caught up in the moment. That is not an excuse for flaming or poor sportsmanship.
We won't be moderating profanity. That's on you.
While we don't care about cursing, We will report and/or modkill you for derogatory content, in particular, slurs, in relation to or targeted towards another user or person, at our own reasonable discretion.
#2: Keep the out-of-game separate from the in-game. This is a modkillable/reportable offence.
DO NOT talk about this game outside of this thread and quicktopic links or PMs given to you in your role PM or approved by a Game Manager or Holy Mafia Trinity member. Please attempt to copy a Game Manager or Holy Mafia Trinity member in as appropriate on out-of-game messages sent to other players. It is a good idea to ask permission before discussing the game with anyone outside the game, because they can no longer replace into the game once any meaningful discussion takes place.
DO NOT directly quote or screenshot your role PM or any private communications when posting in the main game thread. This includes mason chats and scum chats. Pretending to break this rule is the same as actually breaking it. Putting words or phrases in quotation marks when discussing private communications with the host in-thread is also a violation of this rule. Please paraphrase - if you are in doubt, ask a Game Manager or Holy Mafia Trinity member before posting!
When generating (or faking, as applicable) reads, please do not use angleshooting or out-of-game knowledge, to the best of your ability. This means do not use the timing, reasons, or order of substitutions and modkills to influence others, do not use the timing or phrasing of role PMs to influence others, do not make alignment bets with out of game consequences, and do not use “trust tells” or similar. This list is not exhaustive. Providing direct proof (e.g. picture of yourself at an out-of-game activity, screenshot of out-of-game notes) of an out-of-game context in thread is another form of angleshooting.
It is a modkillable offense if you quote/mention someone in a secret club that you use to take notes in. It is recommended to not use a secret club on MAL if you wish to take notes on a mafia game. This website [url]https://www.quicktopic.com/[/url] or a text file is recommended instead.
#3: DO NOT make more than a small edit to posts unless discussed with a Game Manager or Holy Mafia Trinity member. Even if it’s an accidental double post. In particular, DO NOT delete posts. This is a modkillable/reportable offense.
#4: No funny business. DO NOT use invisible text, cryptography, tiny writing, hidden messages, acronym/alphabet claims, trust tells, or similar. DO NOT post after you are dead. DO NOT post if you are not a player. This is a modkillable/reportable offense.
Additional related rules are here:
- Suicide
If you no longer wish to participate in a game for any reason, contact a Game Manager or Holy Mafia Trinity member. Do NOT attempt to force a host to modkill you.
- Cryptoclaims
Cryptoclaims are forbidden.
- Out-of-game Promises
Players may not use out-of-game promises (example: I swear on my grandmother's life, I bet you my entire collection of magic cards, etc.) in an effort to influence other players.
- Hydras/Gimmick Accounts
Site rules prohibit gimmick accounts. Do NOT impersonate another player or utilize a gimmick account.
#5: Post game-related content as required by the game-specific inactivity rules.
If you are inactive for 48 hours or more, you may receive an automatic modkill at host discretion.
#6: We make no promises about public answers to any question. If you have a question about your role or a rules interaction, please communicate with a Game Manager or Holy Mafia Trinity member privately.
Hosts will be particularly unlikely to answer questions posed in the game thread other than questions about vote counts or deadlines. If you raise a question in a private message that needs addressing to the entire game (regarding a special rule or similar), we will respond as we feel is appropriate.
#7: By confirming that you have received your Role PM, you also confirm that you have read it. Not reading your Role PM is a modkillable/reportable offense.
#8: Once a lynch is reached, votes are considered locked in. Votes and unvotes made after that will not be counted. (This is known as the Twilight phase.)
#9: If deadline is reached and no player fulfills the requirements to be lynched, the day ends with no lynch.
#10: Make your votes clear to the hosts. BOLD your votes and place them on separate line.
Unbolded votes will not be counted, nor will votes in the middle of a huge wall of text. Unvoting is helpful but is not required.
#11: DO NOT POST IN THE THREAD DURING THE NIGHT PHASE, UNLESS YOUR ROLE SAYS OTHERWISE.
TL;DR: Be excellent to each other, don't be inactive, ask us questions in private when possible, don’t delete posts, no funny business involving cryptography, etc. and... have fun, that’s the whole point.

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwroughtwithgolden andsilver light, The blue and thedim andthe dark cloths Of night andlight andthe half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
There are at least 48 hours left in the Day phase.

But it'd be hard to formulate a plan as scum
Got no scum chat
Pretty much, lol.
The way this is set up is hilarious because it makes town and scum identical in all but name. So the way to give your side the best chances to win is to simply not die.
Scum could always try to hint at their alignment in hopes of their partner(s) figuring out who they are, but...let's just say that, as town, I encourage them to give it a go. >:)c

Yea I was gonna say, it's risky Business if you decide to pull something like that
While you might get senpai's attention, you're probs gonna attract some unwanted attention while you're at it
Scum do not have scumchat, though they do know who is not scum.
Oh wait, nevermind. Forgot about this rule.
Oh rip
Ah well I guess that makes things easier
Dang, you might be town.
...Unless you're sneaky and played along with my slip up, that is.
Lol Might be town
Pls I am town, however I do believe you're town just because of that slip up
I'd also like Abu to answer why he sees Awa as town as well

It's just that I can imagine myself doing that if I were scum sooo... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If it's any consolation, you're off my lynch list for the Day.

Cut me some slack, I haven't played mafia in like 2 years or smth, I'm still rusty.
Would you mind me asking, seeing as I'm off the Lynch list, then who's one it?
aa-dono - 1346, 8/22
AbuHumaid - 2 hrs
Gruffin - 12 min
Ruu - 4 hrs
Sodalicious_ - 17 min

Right now all I got is that you're more than likely town.
As for my vote, right now it's just some personal banter but if I feel the need to change it I'm more than happy to.
Also how do you come to the conclusion that if Ruu is scum then I'm her team mate? @Gruffin
I also would like to know why no one voted for Abu day one, is he just that lucky or is something going on?

My reasoning is that (in a world that if Ruu was scum and you were town) you have two votes on you, and that would mean she could have just hammered you for the win if scum. Scum!Ruu wouldn't vote scum!Soda in that situation.
aa-dono said: Rip, so this won't be as light as I thought.
These association thing is odd. Are you guys really considering more than 1 mafia in a 5 player setup?
Is it more common for there to only be 1 mafia in this sort of thing? I don't have much experience with smaller setups so I just assumed. ^^;
What caused this unvote?
Me panicking after realizing that one stray town vote could mean two mafia jumping in for the kill.
@Gruffin
So lemme get this straight
You don't wanna vote for me, but in the case that either Ruu or I are Scum then you're gonna assume that we're working together ?
Also @aa-dono
Good point
It would be kinda strange for 2 mafia to exist in a game of 5
Would make it almost impossible for town to win
@Sodalicious_ Not exactly. You're more likely to be scum if Ruu is scum, but not the other way around because that's not how my logic worked.
I'm hesitant to vote you today because of our exchange earlier, but it's such an easy thing to fake that I don't feel comfortable completely ruling you out.
We don't have a way of knowing
But I've played lots of live mafia with Osie as a host and smaller setups usually never have more than one mafia
So I'm going off that
