Popular Post hoggers Posted June 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) ― Caspar David Friedrich, ca. 1817 It is not so strange to think of people as devices. I'd met a few devices, I'd used a few people, and I'd felt no remorse. Worse even, I'd regret not using them to their full potential, both the device and the person, and many a fine thinker has had the same struggle with the same miscalculations as myself. This logic and reason, reality even, can stem from a flaw in mentality. It is well understood to try and explain what you don't know with what you do know, but it is hardly a broached idea to explain what you do know with what you don't know. Even deeper, if you understood that, it's much longer before you come to realize that, of course, starts with accepting that you do not know much of what you do know. For as long as it took me to realize this, it wasn't much good. By the time I had realized I had acted on what was known, my feet were already moving towards the unknown. I was off to the next regret of my life, and it wouldn't be long before the ghosts of my past came back again. Scathing in nature, loathsome companions such as they, it was weary to consider the idea that my only traveling companions would be the people who no longer controlled their own fate. The demons of my life would be nothing more than the people of the past, and more importantly, they would reflect my own grandiose and exacerbated feelings of shame and fear. There was no escaping that fact nor the wanderlust that's grated upon my soul. A wanderer, they call me, and that is as it must be. “I was forced to wander, having no one, forced by my nature to keep wandering because wandering was the only thing that I believed in, and the only thing that believed in me.”― Roman Payne The nature of this game is to force the players to obtain their information entirely on their own. Therefore, not only will the setup be completely closed, but it will also be flipless. Players will be forced to rely on themselves, and only themselves, to further their objectives in this game of mafia. I was also considering adding bastard elements to this, but in the nature of the game, this will be a balanced setup with an uninformed majority versus an informed minority. Whether a third party will exist or not, not only will I not confirm it, I will also claim that I have no idea if I'm going to do it anyways. Just leave knowing that anything and everything you can conjure up for this game, I will be considering as well. The Rules are easy to follow. 1. Do not play against your win condition. Punishment will not be linear and will follow an ambiguous structure that will ultimately benefit no team. To put it clearly, there is no benefit or disadvantage to be garnered from attempting to ruin the game in any shape or form. 2. Cheating is prohibited. This includes: Discussion of the game using any avenue aside from the designated game threads and / or private messages distributed via the host. The use of angleshooting that could discern information otherwise impossible to account for in a real life situation of mafia. An example of angleshooting will be provided in a subsequent informational guideline. Using any other means not otherwise specified to gain an unfair advantage over your opponent that could not be gained under normal or fair circumstances. 3. As this is a closely knit forum, insults and off the cuff jokes are thrown around more commonly than larger mafia forums. This will not be heavily moderated under the pretense that it isn't taking it too far. You're adults. You know the line. 4. This game will require loose activity rules. A player must vote at least once in a day phase and make meaningful posts to the game five times. I'll be loose on what meaningful means, too as long as nobody actively tries to slank through the game like a coward. 5. Don't edit posts. 6. After you die, don't talk within the designated game thread. If you have abilities that may activate after death, you will be notified by the host of what comes next. Other relevant mechanics not previously mentioned are as such: Phases will be 36/12. I.E. day phases take up to 36 hours, night phases take up to 12 hours. This time may be spent in its entirety or the round may end prematurely. Once there is a fixed time for the 48 hour rounds, I'll edit the OP to include it. Majority flush is enabled every day. This means if you boneheads decide to not spend all your time effectively, you will not be coddled into thinking you made the right play. Your mistakes will be punished, so it is best to play cautiously here. On the note of punishing you for your mistakes, no flushes are allowed. Good luck with that strategy. FyFo and MyFo will not be announced. It's up to you to figure out if you're about to lose. Chances are if you've hit this section of the game, though, you don't stand much of a chance knowing much about the game anyway. Sign-in anonymously. I don't actually care that much. I'm just trying to save your family the funeral costs. Tied votes result in a new ground breaking mechanic! Players may revote in the following night phase on the players that were in the tie. The player with the most vote is flushed. If there is another tie, the flush will be randomized between the two. The wolves are not required to make a kill each night in this setup, and they have no restrictions on who they choose to target at night. This applies to any potential role that may be in the game as well. Voting etiquette will be posted in a subsequent informational guideline. For any of you that don't care to read the rules, important phrases and sections are bolded. Vocabulary among other words are underlined. There's new mechanics many of you have probably never played with, so I suggest familiarizing yourself with that. Otherwise, I don't care, and if you die because you didn't read, I will laugh at you.

hoggers Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Voting etiquette. To vote for a player, it is as easy as writing "vote (player name)." When voting, please bold your vote and make it easy to see for when I'm scrolling through the game. Do not hide votes in spoilers, quotes, or other code aside from on its own line in a normal post. A player doesn't have to write the player's name their voting exactly, but be sure to make it legible and understandable otherwise the vote will not count. ex. "I think hoggers is a Neutral Loser! Let's get him before he kills us all! vote hogboy" ~ Angleshooting. As a broad term, this refers to any information that you derive that otherwise could not be found in a real life game of mafia. This includes replacements, mod messages, activity levels, and forum software that could help discern a users alignment. It's pretty confusing, so don't be upset if you still don't get it. ex. "Luckylooger was logged in and viewing the thread but never made a post!! "Darth Smelvin was viewing pms five minutes ago before posting here!!" "Ass cheeks replaced out after being called out for a slip! Get him!" These are all examples of scenarios that could not possibly occur in a real time mafia game. Replacements are pretty much unheard of, there is no forum software, and activity is not a problem since that person is there in the flesh and doesn't have time constraints outside of the game. If you are ever in doubt of if you're angleshooting, just ask if it can occur in a real time game. ~ If you have any questions regarding the game, please ask them through dm's to me. I can only answer what is already made clear in the thread. I.E., if you have a question about a mechanic in the game, I can only tell you it wouldn't occur in the game as the game is not bastard which has already been explicitly made clear.

SixFootFiveAndJackedAF Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 This looks really fun mechanics wise... if I joined and promised to improve my behavior and just play normally, would people still leave? i don’t want to ruin the experience for anyone so if me joining is a deal breaker in any way, I will sit this one out and probably leave the site too. 1 Link to comment

SixFootFiveAndJackedAF Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Its true and I’m sorry. Ive been playing Forum Mafia since 2015, and I’ve played and been banned on multiple forums. Canucks is without a doubt the most fun and enjoyable place I’ve played on. i usually get banned so swiftly the fact everyone accepted me here was a big shock to me. I wanted to see how far I could push things. I am not good at forum mafia. To be honest. I’m just not good at this game. Its not a loss skill wise to lose me so if you all deem me as not fitting in here socially/fun wise I will leave silently. 1 1 Link to comment
