A Game for 21 Players. Night 0 will begin when all spots have been filled and role pms have been distributed. Strategy discussion is discouraged before Night 0 begins. # This is a closed game. In other words game mechanics, roles, distribution, etc will not be revealed at the outset of the game. # Votes and unvotes must be bold blue and bold red and on their own lines. This is to help me keep track. # Mod questions may be PMed directly to the mod or posted in Bold green in the game thread. I will answer all questions. The answer however may be: No Comment. # Days/Nights will end 7pm Eastern Time. # Please participate! Participation will not be enforced by moderator, but for the game to be fun, it will require participation from all players. # Keep it civil. This is just a game. Don’t make it personal. # Days will start out at 5 day length, decreasing to 4 day length over the course of the game. # If at any time a player has received 50% of the living players worth of votes + 2, the day ends. The value required for this hammer will announced at the beginning of every day. # Nights last 48 hours. All night actions must be submitted prior to 6:59 pm # This game has color, which may contains hints or red herrings about the mechanics of the game. # Strategy may be discussed at any time. # No communication about this game in any manner that has not been previously mod-sanctioned. # Ties will produce either all tied players being lynched OR no lynch, decided by flipping a coin 5 times if the successive flips amount to all heads or all tails then all tied players will be lynched. # All PMs will be available at the outset of the game, as well as the number of each of the roles. # The moderator will not discuss possibilities for modkills or substitution with any player in the game, with the sole exception that if you would like to be subbed out, you must PM the moderator before Night 2. # There is no means for a player’s win condition to change in this game. #You may edit your posts. #You may post any communication from the moderator. Sample Generic Vanilla PM: Name: Atreyu Alignment: Consolidated Alliance of Raftdwelling Slumlords Universe/Story: The Neverending Story Role: Vanilla Powers: None Wincondition: You win when all threats to the Consolidated Alliance of Raftdwelling Slumlords have been vanquished. ---

I’m in. It’s been a while since I played one of these, but hopefully I’m not too rusty. > [@Red\_Skeezix](#): > > #You may edit your posts. Is that standard on the 'dope mafia games now? Doesn’t that lead to a lot of confusion about what was really said? ---

> [@nesta](#): > > Is that standard on the 'dope mafia games now? Doesn’t that lead to a lot of confusion about what was really said? It’s not a huge deal because (a) you only have about 5 minutes to do it and (b) even though the mod allows it, other players might lynch you for editing. ---

Yeah, it’s essentially a “if you are going to do it, you’d better be able to dodge the ton of bricks that the average collection of players will drop on you”. ---

Assuming that was directed at me, that’s the beauty of it. I would never do something so obvious as calling my kill, I mean really. Only scum would think that. Lynch Zeriel. On preview: well that would throw a wrench in the works, wouldn’t it? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/genre-fiction-mafia/582387.md?page=2)
