Immutable
General
- This is the ruleset for this game; all players must follow it.
- [insert names here] are the moderators of this game and have supreme power over its proceedings.
- Rules in the Immutable section cannot be edited by proposal. Please do not try to circumvent them.
- Pretending to break the rules will be treated similarly to actually breaking the rules.
- Follow all site rules.
- Play to win.
- Treat others as you would like them to treat you. Heated discussion is fine, personal attacks are not.
- Quoting out-of-game communication (e.g. your Role PM or Mafia PT) is forbidden. Paraphrasing is okay.
- Discussing other ongoing games within this game or discussing this game within other ongoing games is forbidden.
- Don't use encryption, hidden text or excessively small text in your posts (except where required by the ruleset).
- Don't use any form of provable randomness (e.g. dice tags) except where required by the ruleset. Saying you flipped a coin is okay, providing proof that you did isn't.
- If you have the ability to edit or delete your posts, do not do so.
- The moderators' decisions are final.
Activity
- You are expected to make at least one game-relevant post every 48 hours. Players who go 48 hours without posting will be prodded.
- If you are prodded, you have 24 hours to post in-thread. If you do not respond within 24 hours, you will be replaced. Additionally, if you have to be prodded 3 or more times, you will be replaced at the moderators' discretion.
- If you're being replaced for inactivity and post in the game thread before a replacement is found for you, you get to stay.
- If you want to be replaced, send me a PM requesting replacement and do not talk about it at all in the main thread.
- Abuse of prod dodges will result in you being replaced at my own discretion.
- If you are going to be V/LA, please announce it in thread or PM one of the moderators. If your V/LA will last 7 days or longer, you may be replaced.
Mafia
- There are 10 Town members and 3 Mafia members in this game.
- All players start the game alive. Upon the start of the game, you are privately informed of your alignment.
- Upon dying, your alignment is publicly revealed in the game thread (unless stated otherwise).
- Dead players may not post in the game thread or any private topics with the exception of the dead thread.
- The game starts at the Day phase. Once the Day ends, Night begins.
- Once per night, the Mafia may nightkill a living player; that player will die at the end of the Night.
- Day phases will last for a maximum of 14 real-life days. Night phases will last for a maximum of two real-life days.
- Town wins when all members of the Mafia are dead. Mafia wins when every member of the Town is dead or when nothing can prevent that from happening.
Council
General
- [name] is The Outsider.
- Unless otherwise stated, proposal history and all publicly available gamestate is tracked at [insert wiki page here]. If this page does not properly reflect the current gamestate, any player may correct it.
- Each Day phase has 12 hours. When the number of hours reaches 0, the Day phase ends immediately.
- Unless otherwise stated, resources cannot be spent if doing so would cause that resource to go negative.
- Quorum is the half the number of living players plus one, rounded down.
Proposals
- A living player or The Outsider may, at any time, propose a change to the rules and/or gamestate. This is known as a Proposal.
- A Proposal must have a title, body, and time cost. The time cost may not be higher than the current amount of hours left in the Day Phase.
- Once a Proposal is made, it must be approved by The Outsider, at which point it is made Pending.
- If a Proposal does not specify any changes to the Ruleset and would not require the knowledge of hidden information to Enact, it is a Physical Proposal.
- Physical Proposals always have a time cost of 1 hour, unless otherwise specified.
- If a Physical Proposal would directly result in the death of another player when enacted, it is an Elimination Proposal. Elimination Proposals always have a time cost of 6 hours, unless otherwise specified.
Voting
- While a Proposal is Pending, any living player may vote either FOR or AGAINST it. Once a player has cast their vote, they may not change it.
- If a Proposal has a quorum or more of FOR votes, The Outsider or a Moderator may Enact it, applying its changes in full.
- If a Proposal has a quorum or more of AGAINST votes or it has been Pending for 72 or more real-life hours, The Outsider or a Moderator should, at their first opportunity, Fail it.
- The Outsider may, at any time, Veto a Proposal that has not been Enacted or Failed. Upon doing so, that Proposal is immediately Failed.
- The Outsider is encouraged to Veto Proposals that they feel would cause a significant unfairness in the game balance.
- The Outsider may not veto Physical Proposals.
