M82 GAME INFORMATION
GM: brainbomb
Cohost: worcej
Day Phase Deadline: 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern
Day Phase Length: 48 hours
Night Phase Deadline: 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern
Night Phase Length: 24 hours
Anticipated Start Date: Tuesday, July 18
MAFIA OVERVIEW
Mafia is an educated guessing game of epic proportions. The objective of this game for the town majority is to kill all mafia members before they outnumber the rest of the town. The objective of the mafia minority is to survive until they outnumber the town. The game is typically very active, so the thread will grow quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game.
GENERAL RULES
This game follows standard WebDip Mafia Rules, located here. There are nonstandard mechanics; see Setup Details in the next post.
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
Players may be warned, forcibly replaced, or modkilled for violation of game rules. The GM team will attempt to minimize disruption to the game, but will use whatever means are needed to preserve the integrity of the game.
Players who have site-wide muted other players are asked to unmute them to play this game. Players who have been silenced on webDiplomacy due to site infractions will be forcibly replaced from the game.
Players who wish to quit playing may be replaced at GM discretion. Replacement is not guaranteed. Substitutes cannot participate in spectator chats until they sub into the game and are subsequently removed from it (e.g., by dying).
VOTING
To vote for a player, type ##VOTE <player> (e.g. ##VOTE beancomb). You may unvote by typing ##UNVOTE. You may switch from voting one player to another without unvoting first (e.g., if you ##VOTE Eden then type ##VOTE Bona, you will vote for Bona). You may choose to no-kill by typing ##UNVOTE. You don’t need to type out the player’s full name, but failing to do so may lead to ambiguity that causes errors in vote tallying, particularly with the bot. In the event of a tie vote at the end of the day, no player will be killed.
You may vote to end the day early by typing ##END. If a majority of players are voting ##END and casting the same vote (whether for a player or to no-kill), the phase will end early. If the day ends more than 8 hours into the start of the day phase, the remaining time will be added to the next night phase; if the day ends less than 8 hours into the start of the day phase, the next night phase will end 24 hours early.
Role Interactions and Scenarios/Stipulations
If virgin dies no kills may go through that night, however if there is an arsonist they may douse. If there is a third party their kill would fail.
If Angel protects someone who is doused by the Arsonist the dousing attempt will succeed. The following day if that person is ignited the angel will die also.
The day exiler must submit their action before final five minutes of a day. If a day exiler schedules a time for their shot to go off, and they are ignited before that time happens, their action will not go off. Anyone killed by the exiler will not flip role or alignment. If woebringer is active the day exiler will not be able to use its ability that day.
The Hider chooses a person and hides behind them, if they are saved by the angel they will not die from hiding behind a mafia or third party. If the Hider is behind a mafia or third party on a night where virgin is activated they will not die from hiding. Otherwise if the hider hides behind mafia or third party they do die.
The arsonist may opt to douse someone instead of using the factional mafia kill. They may douse one person per night. If a person is protected by an angel the dousing will succeed. If a woebringer is in effect the dousing will still succeed. But it will not be possible to ignite that following day.
The lumberjack may shorten a day. If this happens all roles with day actions must adjust accordingly to new phase lengths.
Watchers can witness hiders, arsonists, factional kills, and angel visit on Night 1.
Vindictive Lich ability is not triggered by quoting a post. However if someone is caught gaming the system and posting in small fonts, or intentionally hiding messages within quotes to bypass this, that player will be vanillized or removed from the game.
Vote Reversal
If the vote reversal is used the player with the least amount of votes at 1 or more will die. If there are multiple players with 1 or more votes and a tie is possible, the vote reversal must also submit their choice at end of day for the specific individual they want eliminated.
If the Avatar of Woe (3p) is vanillized they will not retain their vest but they will retain their kill actions.
If there is a 3rd party, mafia team size will be 3 instead of 4, and a role of the mafia’s will be replaced by the SK at the GM discretion to retain proper setup balancing.
