Mafia! Under Cover of Darkness - Confirmation & Discussion

Mafia! Under Cover of Darkness

Game Threads:
Sign-up Thread
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Day 5/Conclusion

This thread is to confirm participation in the new Mafia game. Everyone will receive a PM shortly containing your role and affiliation. If you have any questions about the contents of the role PM, please ask me in PM, NOT in this thread. This thread is for you to let everyone know you've received your role PM. This is not yet the start of the game, but you are encouraged to confirm your participation in character.

This is a good place to review the rules of the game and let me know if you have any questions or concerns prior to the start of the game, too.

Rules
  1. Each player will be given a character to play who will be aligned with either the Town, the Werewolves, or niether. Town wins when all threats to the town have been eliminated and there is at least one town player alive. The werewolves win when they obtain a majority or nothing can prevent this from occurring. Any other party characters will have their own win conditions outlined in their roles.
  2. Each day you will vote to lynch a player. Voting should be done in the following format: Vote: Character (Forum Handle). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format: Unvote: Character (Forum Handle). No other format will be accepted. You may unvote and revote as many times as you like. Players must receive at least 50% of the votes to be lynched. If there is a tie, then no lynch will occur. Failing to post in the day thread will result in a vote penalty the following day equal to the remaining number of players divided by 4.
  3. A game day will last approximately 5 days. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will end at the appointed time, unless the group are decided on a lynch and the moderator decides to end it early. After the day has concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of the night stage. They will not be accepted after this deadline has passed.
  4. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night will be revealed at the beginning of the next day.
  5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to you via PM, either by the host or another player. This includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. Similarly, conversations held in private may be discussed in your own words.
  6. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread, via PM with other players, and through means designated by the host. Do not play the game elsewhere or post in old day threads. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. Metagame at your own risk.
  7. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on.
  8. You may not edit your posts. Editing a post will result in a vote penalty the same day, equal to the number of remaining players divided by 4.
  9. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host via PM. No other communication with the hosts will be accepted or acknowledged.
  10. Any interpretation of rules that require clarification is at the hosts discretion and the host's word is final.
  11. Violation of the above rules will result in vote penalties at the host's discretion, with the possibility of death for repeated offenses.

Active Players
Here is the listing of players... please note that all character assignments, role assignments, and affiliation assignments have been randomized. This includes returning character roles and affiliations. Any attempt to read into those assignments is done at your own risk.

All players should have role PM's now. Please let me know if you have any questions via PM. Also, it can be helpful to put your character name in your signature for the duration of the game. That way, people know who you are when you post.

Brett Jonasco, Clutchers' catcher and team captain, reporting for duty!

To all players: Update your signatures! It will make it easier for us to remember who you're playing if it's there in your forum sig. :D

For those of you who weren't around last game, Kevin is referring to the fact that the character names are anagrams of PEBA/LRS personalities (mostly players). I started that in the last game. Some of them can be quite challenging, but others are much easier.

Just waiting on Tyler. Photos for Day 1 have been taken.

Anyone heard from Tyler? It looks like he hasn't dropped in for about a week.
