Hi, everyone. Welcome to GOG Mafia game #77!
This is a game of Forum Mafia. Please don't post here unless you've been directed here from the sign up thread or PM, or were otherwise told by the mod that you should post here. Exception: anyone, including dead players and non-players, may make a bump post if a player asks for it here or in the admin thread. You may also use an alt-user to make a bump post. The bump post should contain no game-relevant information.
Direct any queries you may have to the the General Discussion and Administration page or to me via PM.
Rules:
1. I, dedoporno, am the moderator for this game. If you have any issues or questions, contact me via PM.
2. Cryptoclaiming is forbidden. In short, cryptoclaiming is having people claim in some sort of, preferably nearly unbreakable, code, which makes it all but impossible for the Mafia team to win.
3. Betting among players is strictly forbidden.
4. Real Life issues and situations should and will always take priority over what happens in the game. If a player presents a real life issue as a reason on why they need a bit more time or are temporarily unavailable to partake normally in the game that reason should be accepted and respected by everyone else (including the mod). Everyone should always treat real life problems/situations in a gentlemanly manner and never try to make accusations or gain leverage in the game based on that. If these issues become too overwhelming the incapacitated player should inform their mod and ask for a replacement as soon as possible or if they are unable to do so the mod should take steps in finding a replacement for them. Everyone should be playing the game for fun and treat each other with the necessary respect. Therefore we shall always assume that every real life reason for inefficient participation in the game is 100% real and has to be taken as such. We shall also count on everyone playing the game to show proper respect and sportsmanship to their fellow players and the mod by never abusing this "free pass". If someone is caught taking advantage of everyone's good will they will be immediately allowed to find another place to play forum mafia.
5. This is a game of lying. Players are expected to lie. No statement or promise a player makes within the game has any force outside the game. As an example, a bet offered in a game is not something you can collect if you win (see also Rule 2). An exception to this are Real Life issues, as per Rule 3.
With that in mind, you might want to avoid sensitive topics, ones which would benefit from having all the participants telling the truth, till after the game is finished. For instance, someone swearing on their mother's life and/or other similar acts which in most cases are effectively equivalent to showing your PM wouldn't be tolerated and will be swiftly and harshly punished.
6. Have fun and enjoy the game. While shouting at each other is expected in a game of Mafia, please remain civil to your fellow players.
*****
I, dedoporno, strongly dislike people getting severely out of line and resorting to personal insults, especially when those are ugly and hurtful. Players who do that will get struck down without warning and right of appeal no matter how that affects the game. Please, don't be that person.
*****
7. Please bold any questions you have for me and refer to me by name or anything that will make it clear that your question is directed to me, so it's easier for me to see them. You may use bold for other reasons (like stressing a point) but please avoid doing so excessively.
8. It goes without saying that discussing this game outside this thread is prohibited but it is also said anyway.
9. Do not edit your posts for any reason!! Remember there is a forum feature that automatically merges posts made within 10 minutes. There is also a forum bug which prevents your post from appearing sometimes when it should appear on a new page. Making a second post in this case after less than 10 minutes can cause your post to be merged and appear edited. For best results either wait for another post to appear after your last one or wait for the timestamp on your last post to say at least "11 minutes ago".
10. If you die, stop posting in this thread. A single "bah" post is allowed and encouraged. Your "bah" post should not contain any game-relevant information.
11. You are expected to make a post at least once every 48 hours. If you need to be away for longer, please let me know in advance. Posting more frequently makes for a more interesting game. So try to participate as much as you can.
12. PM sharing and/or asking others to share/confirm wording from their PMs is forbidden. Paraphrasing is allowed. When in doubt about something you plan to do related to PMs ask me first.
13. If you do something intentionally in a way that goes against the spirit of the game, you will be penalized. When in doubt, ask me first.
14. Breaking rules, depending on the severity of the infraction, can get you mod-killed at my discretion. Getting mod-killed can be hazardous to your health and it means you lose regardless of whether your team wins or loses. I will also point at you and laugh. It's bad in general, so please don't get mod-killed.
15. Once a majority votes for a player, that player gets lynched. No amount of unvoting is going to help them.
16. If no majority vote is achieved before the Day ends no lynch takes place.
17. You have to read the rules before playing.

GAME-SPECIFIC RULES
**********
This game will feature a light flavor based on He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. The original alignments of the characters from the cartoon have absolutely no weight in-game. Don't read into it too much or you're gonna have a bad time. The important stuff will be noted clearly and publicly.
For the sake of keeping true to the spirit of the source material, flavorwise no one will be dying (the terms "lynch" and "nightkill" will still be used when referring to game mechanisms, though).
The game uses a closed setup.
There are no Cults, Jesters or bastard elements.
To vote someone, you have to bold your vote. Preferably on a separate line. Like this:
vote Joppo
Similarly, to remove your vote just
unvote Joppo
Voting and unvoting without bolding won't count. The most recent valid vote counts. You don't have to unvote before voting again. Even though it's not strictly required to include the name of the unvoted person it makes it easier for me to keep track, so please try to do so. You may kick, tickle, scold or do lots of interesting things to each other - but those won't count as votes. Only the word "vote" is a vote.
You may also vote no-lynch. A majority for no-lynch will end the Day without a lynch.
