Anything that would breach forum rule #2:

----------------------------
2. No abusive, bigoted, or degrading content

Creating threads or posting replies that target a member, group of members, or group of people is prohibited. While some discussions on our forum can become heated, attacking another member is not permitted on the forum. Players who post a reply in a discussion attacking another player may be warned and/or silenced depending on the severity of the offense. Consistently harassing another player or going out of one’s way to attack another player, instead of contributing to discussion, may also classify as grounds for a silence or further action depending on the surrounding circumstances.

Likewise, bigotry toward another member or a group of people is not permitted. Our site hosts players from around the world and is intended to be a welcoming and open place for all. Sexism, racism, homophobia, and other forms of bigotry both hamper discussion and also threaten our reputation; as a result, they carry only negative consequences for our site. We will take a zero tolerance approach to any examples of such behaviour.

---------------------------

The really important thing to understand here is that we are not creating any new rules. This is already a rule in place across the whole of webDip. We are just going to start enforcing it in Mafia games because the recent conduct of the community has left us little choice.

Hello chums.

The Mafia Council is pleased to provide the fully-update Master Rules for Mafia. I will post these in my next post so that they form a single and complete post, for ease of later cutting and pasting into games.

INTRODUCTION

Mafia is an educated guessing game of epic proportions. The objective of the game (for the town majority) is to kill all of the non-town players before the town is outnumbered. The game is typically very active, so the thread will get big quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game.


GENERAL RULES

0. The GM reserves the right to adjudicate individual scenarios that arise during the course of the game at his/her discretion.
1. All players must vote at least once per game day, and post at least twice per game day.
2. All players are forbidden from posting screenshots of their role PMs or any other PMs from the GM.
3. All players are forbidden from using encryption.
4. All players are forbidden from using non-sanctioned PMing or other outside communication.
5. All spectators and players who have been eliminated are forbidden from posting in the game thread, or in any other comment threads apart from the God QT.
6. All players are forbidden from cheating.
7. All players are required to play to win.
8. Players and/or teams may not concede the game in public.
9. All players must not +1 other players' posts.
10. All players must observe the normal webDip forum rules.


ELABORATION

0. Given a lack of omniscience, the GM cannot create a rule to resolve all possible scenarios pre-emptively. To compensate for this, the GM is permitted to resolve a given scenario however they see fit, within the remit of the rules listed above, in the interest of all participants. The GM will resolve all scenarios as closely as possible to the intention of the rules, and will present an explanation regarding the adjudication to the greatest possible detail (which does not compromise anything in-game) and as closely in accordance with the written rules as possible.

1. You MUST cast a vote at least once during each day phase. Anyone violating this rule will be modkilled unless there are very extenuating circumstances. You may vote and then 'unvote' if you change your mind as the Day progresses. You may also vote "No Kill" if you want there to be no daykill. During each day phase, every player MUST make at least two game-related posts. The GMs will use reasonable discretion when applying this rule.

2. All role PMs have been posted in the setup information. You may not share real or fabricated screenshots of your role PM or any other PM to you from the GM. You may not make manifestly false claims regarding private GM correspondence which implies the GM has provided you with information you should not have received, or otherwise made a mistake - because this will draw the GM into the game in a manner which should be avoided. The point of this rule is to forbid "gaming" messages from the GM to determine alignments; after all, the fun of this game is reading people, not outguessing the GM.

3. Encryption is defined as posting an encoded message on public channels that an average person would require outside software or other tools to decode. It is perfectly acceptable to leave "hidden messages" in your posts (for example, spelling out "I AM THE COP" with the first letters of every sentence), but as a rule of thumb, if you don't think the average user could decode it without a decryption service, don't post it.

4. All in-game communications should be kept within the thread. Only GM endorsed QuickTopic threads can be used for communicating with one another outside of the main game thread; aside from this, there should be no other forms of private messaging between players. You may PM the GM with questions or instructions.

5. Players who have been removed from the game are no longer playing the game, and will not be permitted to comment on it in private messages or comment threads. A special QuickTopic "God Thread" will be opened for individuals who wish to spectate on the game, or players who have been eliminated. Use this channel to discuss the game while it is still ongoing.

6. This is a catch-all rule intended to preserve the spirit of the game. If you are considering saying or doing something that may be against the spirit of the game, message the GM about it before saying/doing it and the GM will let you know whether it is allowed or not.

To clarify further: Players may not copy and paste any game related Mechanics. Players may not doctor, and create fake game related mechanics. Players may not share personal correspondence between GM to player under any circumstances. The GM will not confirm any claims, or adjudicate based upon anything that could easily be sorted out through questioning and evidentiary circumstance.

7. This rule simply means that your actions should in some conceivable way advance your win condition as stated in your role PM. This rule is somewhat subjective, because the difference between a mistake and sabotage is sometimes hard to determine; the GM will exercise caution and restraint in observing this rule. This also means that if you need to leave the game for any reason, you should not simply drop out, but should message me first so I can determine the best course of action.

8. If someone wishes to concede defeat, they must PM the GM, or post in their relevant QT thread for the GM to check it over. Public concessions are not permitted.

9. You are not permitted to click the "+1" on any other player's in-game posts. Giving +1s to the GM, by contrast, is actively encouraged.

10. The Forum rules will apply in Mafia games run in the Forum Games sub-forum. Your attention is drawn in particular to Forum Rule #2 "No abusive, bigoted, or degrading content".

The webDip Admins, Moderators and Site Owners have made it very clear to us that they do not want to be dragged into dealing with problems arising from Mafia games and by-and-large want as little as possible to do with supervising this sub-forum. They have also made it very clear that if they are frequently required to intervene in Mafia games, the preference of the Site Owners will be simply to ban Mafia from webDip altogether. Therefore except in very exceptional circumstances, the application of the Forum rules, and of Rule #2 in particular, during Mafia games, will be the responsibility of (a) the GM in that game, and (b) the Council, currently consisting of Dargorygel and Jamiet99uk.


ENFORCEMENT OF THE RULES, and PENALTIES

To ensure that GMs and the Council can enforce these rules, where necessary:

i) GMs and the Council shall have the authority to instruct players to cease posting in public on any topic, particularly where this is regarded as a violation of the Forum rules. Players will be expected to observe such instructions immediately.

ii) GMs and the Council shall have the power to remove players from games via modkill or replacement. A player removed from the game (and not replaced) may or may not have their role revealed on removal, depending on the circumstances surrounding their removal and at the discretion of the GM.

iii) The Council (alone) will have the power to impose bans from playing Mafia for varying periods of time (or numbers of games), as appropriate. The usual escalation shall be: A formal warning, followed by a one-game ban, a three-game ban, a one-year ban, and a permanent ban from playing Mafia.



ROLE ACTIONS
If you are a Power Role or otherwise have any actions to take, please PM your action the GM. Night actions will be processed at the end of the night and can be changed up to that point. Mafia's night kill and other factional actions will be voted on in the relevant QuickTopic thread.


MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

SPAM:
Spamming (defined as excessive content-free posting; or, excessive posting regarding subjects irrelevant to the game) is not modkilled by rule in this game, although exceptionally egregious examples may result in action as noted in "Enforcement" above. Generally, the in-game voting mechanic exists to curb any advantage that spamming as a tactic may confer; please reference the “VOTING” section below for more information. Suffice to say that spamming is not worth anyone’s time, and will be frowned upon, so while you may not be modkilled or removed for spamming, please refrain from doing so.

PLAYER SILENCES:
Players that have other participants on their "foes list" are asked to un-mute them for the duration of this game. Disputes stemming from outside of this game should not carry over into the gameplay. If they do, the GM and Council reserve the right to address these issues and potentially remove or sanction players if it becomes a disruption.

FORUM SILENCES:
If a player is silenced on the Forum (by the site moderators, admins, or the infernal meddling of Satan) the GM will seek an alternate to take their place for the duration of their silence. The silenced player will then have the option to take their position back over or leave it in the hands of the alternate. As long as the silence does not stem from actions involving the Mafia thread, there will be no in-game sanctions for a forum silence.

REPLACEMENTS:
A player wishing to drop out may be replaced at the GM's discretion. Individuals wishing to serve as potential replacements must NOT join the out-of-game God QT. Replacement is not guaranteed.

TURN DURATION:
This game’s Day phases will last 48 hours and Night phases will last 24 hours, unless cut short by in-game mechanics (e.g., hammer). Extensions may be granted at the GM’s discretion, but don’t count on it. Phase shifts will be at 11pm GMT.


VOTING

There are three types of voting within this game: collective voting to execute perceived Mafia in Day phases, collective voting to end a Day or Night phase, and Factional voting to kill people in Night phases (for instance, the Mafia Night Kill).

“Day Kill” vote: The first level of voting is for whom you intend to kill. Notate this vote with a pair of hash symbols before your intended vote target. (e.g., ##VOTE VECNA) You do not need to spell out your intended target's username fully; as long as the GM can understand who you're referencing. In the event of a tie during an execution vote, no one shall be killed.

PLEASE NOTE: If you do not use double hashtags your vote will not be counted, for reasons of fairness but also because it is unlikely the GM will see your vote using the CTRL+F feature and this rule thus prevents vote miscounts.

Must Vote: At the end of the Day phase, all participating players must have voted. See Rule 1 for further information.

Hammer Vote: The second level of voting is whether or not to employ the hammer mechanic. By default, days are set to 48 hours long, and nights to 24 hours long; however, players may instead elect to activate the hammer mechanic. Notate this vote with a pair of hashes before the word end. (EX: ##END). The day will end as soon as a majority of players are voting to endhammer the same player. If you are not able to vote before the hammer is dropped, you will not be penalized for failing to vote during that day. Night phases may not normally be hammered - any exception to this will require a 100% end vote of all players, and if permitted will be announced by the GM.

Nightkill Votes: The third level of voting refers to Mafia members (and/or other anti-Town factions, where present) choosing their NK (nightkill) target during Night phases. Players participating in such a vote will use their separate QuickTopic thread. Please make your votes in bold, like so: (<b> kill Wjessop </b>). Factional NKs will be decided by majority vote. In the event of a tie, the oldest vote will break the tie. The oldest vote determines which member of the Faction actually performs the kill.

^ and then in each game, the GMs can insert their names, before adding any setup info etc.

Note that the +1 rule may be waived by the GM on a game-by-game basis, but I will be applying it.

Mafia GM Official Real True (So Far) List

M 64 Jamiet99uk (+darg) (about to start)
M 65 ND (+darg)
M 66 Hellenic Riot
M 67 Fluminator
M 68 Dargorygel
M 69 Chaqa + emc
M 70 Demon RHK (game submitted)
M 71 brainbombs cult game (game submitted)

If you desire to GM a game…
a) Put your name in the list. You do not need Council Approval. (If we don’t like you, we can always remove it later!)

b) When the game previous to YOUR game is starting, submit a setup for Council advice. You might know more than us, but we DO have helpful insights sometimes. And we exist to ensure a smooth game. Let us help. (The Council, if necessary, reserves the right to veto particularly unbalanced or crazy unworkable setups.)

c) It is not necessary to declare a co-GM when submitting your game. Often co-GM’s volunteer during the signup period. The Council can help, if needed. We also can help find players, if needed.
