Rules
Follow the Official Forum Mafia and Fortress of Lies Rules, found below. Please make sure you have enough time for this game before you sign up.
Audience Participation
While signups are underway, any individual may privately message the hosts to suggest a theme for the game. During the drafting phase (Night 0), anyone may vote which theme they would like to see in the game. In the case of a tie, the hosts will decide the flavor.
Gameplay
- Days will be 48 hours long, and night will be 24 hours long. At any time, phase lengths may be changed with unanimous approval. N0 will be 48 hours long to facilitate drafting.
- The informed minority faction will get an assigned, optional factional kill. A member of the informed minority may not carry out the night kill if they are performing another night action. The informed minority faction may speak in a private discord server as soon as the drafting phase (described below) is over.
- Both majority and plurality are in effect.
- Each player is required to post at least 10 times during the day phase. If a player does post during the first 24 hours of the day, or does not act during the night when they can without communication, they will be privately issued a prod. If the player does not post for 12 hours after the prod, they will be force replaced.
- The host always reserves the right to slightly modify the drafting order to ensure player enjoyment. However, due to the nature of the draft, the hosts cannot ensure a perfectly balanced game.
- In the case that no exe → no kill (on purpose) → no exe happens, a random player will be executed instead.
What setup are we playing?
When a player joins, they will be asked to provide two pieces of information in DMs to the host account:
- A role they would like to see in the game, from The List of FoL Vanilla Roles
- A role they would not like to see in the game, from the same list.
The role list will consist of all the roles that players have requested, minus any that players did not want to see in the game or any duplicate role submissions. The hosts will then attempt to balance the game by applying modifiers such as 1-shot or odd/even-night to some roles, but will not guarantee a fully balanced game nor a completely non-bastard game. Any empty spots will be filled by a vanilla role.
This list, without the designed modifiers will then be made public, to be drafted by the players through a standard draft during N0 as described below:
Draft Details
Once alignments have been dealt out, each player must pick two whole numbers (this is because someone tried to pick pi last time), between 1 and 15.
The ordering algorithm works as follows:
- Every player with a unique first number is ordered at the start of the list, from least first number to greatest.
- Every player with a non-unique first number is then ordered at the end of the least, from least number of people who chose the first number to greatest.
- Within each group of players that chose the first number, every player with a unique second number is ordered at the start of that group, from least second number to greatest.
- Every player with a non-unique combination of first and second numbers is ordered at the end of their respective first number group, and their order is randomized.
Here is an example draft:
Let’s say the following players choose the following numbers.
Player A - [4][14]
Player B - [1][8]
Player C - [7][6]
Player D - [7][12]
Player E - [3][4]
Player F - [1][8]
Player G - [1][15]
Applying rule 1, we see that Players A and E chose unique first numbers (4 and 3 respectively). Because 3 < 4, Player E will be placed ahead of Player A at the start of the list.
After rule 1, the list would be as follows (with locked positions shown in bold and italics):
Player E - [3][4]
Player A - [4][14]
Player B - [1][8]
Player C - [7][6]
Player D - [7][12]
Player F - [1][8]
Player G - [1][15]
Applying rule 2, we see that among the non-unique first number choices, Players C and D have chosen the number with the least number of people choosing it (7). They are placed after Players E and A, followed by Players B, F, and G who all chose 1. Note that even though 1 < 7, the players that chose 1 are placed after the players that chose 7 because more players chose 1.
After rule 2, the list would be as follows:
Player E - [3][4]
Player A - [4][14]
Player C - [7][6]
Player D - [7][12]
Player B - [1][8]
Player F - [1][8]
Player G - [1][15]
Then, applying rule 3, within each group, we order the players with unique second letters from least to greatest. Player C is placed ahead of Player D because 6 < 12, and Player G is placed ahead of Players B and F because Player G chose the only unique number among those who chose 1 for their first number.
After rule 3, the list would be as follows:
Player E - [3][4]
Player A - [4][14]
Player C - [7][6]
Player D - [7][12]
Player G - [1][15]
Player B - [1][8]
Player F - [1][8]
Applying rule 4, the ordering of Players B and F will be randomized.
- Once the drafting is complete, each player will send in the role they would like to play.
- In the event multiple players select the same role, the player highest in the draft order wins the role, whilst the others remain Vanilla.
- Roles are then distributed.
Players have the first 23 hours of the night to submit numbers, reserving one hour for processing. Then the remaining 23 hours will be used to submit their desired roles, again reserving one hour at the end for processing. The drafting order, showing the selected numbers with names removed, will be announced at the end of the first 24 hours.
Any questions regarding the drafting process may be directed to the host account privately.
Happy drafting!
The town composition will be as follows:
13 x Uninformed Majority
The Uninformed Majority wins when they eliminate the Informed Minority, including the Uninformed Traitor.
3 x Informed Minority
The Informed Minority wins when the number of Informed Minority, including the Uninformed Traitor, is equal to or greater than the number of Uninformed Majority.
1 x Uninformed Traitor
The Uninformed Traitor is aligned with the Informed Minority, but will not be part of the Informed Minority group chat at the beginning of the game. They will only join the Informed Minority group chat if the Informed Minority can successfully guess their identity.
The Informed Minority will get one guess (as a group) each night. If they guess correctly, the Uninformed Traitor will join their chat.
The Uninformed Traitor will automatically take over the Informed Minority nightkill if all other Informed Minority are killed, before they are found by the Informed Minority; however, they will not be added to the Informed Minority group chat.
The game will begin once filled.
