Rules:

  1. Follow the Forum Game Rules.
  2. Post a minimum of 10 game related posts per active phase.
  3. Fail to heed the former rules more than twice, and you will be subbed out or modkilled.
  4. I can and might have to add and/or remove rules in the future. Except the first rule.
    Let’s just hope that I won’t have to use this rule.

General Mechanics

  • This is an open setup: There is 1 Town Deadly Neighborizer, 7 Town Vanilla, 1 Mafia Neighborizer, and 1 Mafia Goon.
  • Factional attacks are mandatory and not assigned, and must be used on town-aligned players.
  • Day Phases last 48 hours. Night Phases last 24 hours.
  • All actions must be submitted in your role cards / role PMs.
  • Actions lock 1 hour before phase change.
  • Mafia members may communicate with each other through Discord during both phases.
  • Multitasking, i.e. using multiple abilities on the same phase, is allowed.
  • The host will announce when XYLO occurs.

Special Mechanics / Setup Details

  • Flips are alignment-only.
  • Neighborhoods last only for one day phase.
  • If a player is given a gun, only that player will be informed of it. If they are in multiple neighborhoods, they will know which neighborhood they have a gun in.
  • If the Mafia Neighborizer and the Town Deadly Neighborizer choose the same two people in the same night, two neighborhoods will be created.

Important Note!

  • The mafia’s win condition is “You win when you have eliminated all townies, or nothing can prevent you from doing so.”. This means it is possible, in certain scenarios, for the mafia to reach parity, but not instantly win.
    • For example, if there are 2 townies and 2 mafia alive, and there is a neighborhood with a town and a wolf, where the town player has a gun - then town can still win, by shooting the mafia in the neighborhood, then executing the remaining mafia.

Roles

Vote Mechanics

  • Use the latest voting format.
  • Plurality: Whoever has the most votes at the end of a phase will die.
  • Majority: At any point during day phase, whoever has >50% of all votes will die.
  • [No Exe] is a valid vote.
  • In case of a tie, a random player within the tie will be executed.
    –unless [No Exe] is also tied, in which case [No Exe] will take priority.
  • Self-votes are considered valid votes.
  • Votes are locked in XYLO scenarios.

Player List

  1. @Zone_Q11
  2. [Account TBD] (tutuu + Chomps)
  3. @Frostwolf103
  4. @iolei (soweli + carbonated)
  5. @Eve (lilith + pandora)
  6. @SirLunalot (Derps + Marluna)

Imagine 30 players in each 3-player hydra account, I would never.

If hydra is encouraged and not enforced, then I’ll join solo.

Reasons being:

  • I don’t like sharing my power (i.e., my vote). Sharing thoughts is fine, but I don’t want to relinquish my rights to vote, even if only partially.
  • Two players in one slot can cover up for each other’s discrepancies, but if a solo player messes up, then it will be their sole responsibility; there would be nobody to shove their error to.
  • If I were misfortunate enough to be put in a neighborhood, then I’d rather minimize the maximum number of members than maximize it. I already have a memory capacity comparable to that of a goldfish; the less interaction present, the less I have to (try to) remember.

As someone who really avoids making unnecessary PMs, this upsets me slightly.
