I guess I'm looking for the rebel fringe of the mafia community.

Weird how things come around full-circle.

Anyway, is there any interest for old-school, serious as death, no fucking around MAFIA?

If so, post here...

Now define please.

Edit: don't let Messremb in unless he shares his posting time spreadsheet.

Can you explain this a bit more?

I have no idea what you mean

Also agree with D'rek, what exactly do you mean Mal?

[Malaclypse]

no spam after day 1, absolutely none. It is understood that day 1 you must lynch because of math but you won't have anything useful to go by so a little spam is tolerable to make things more interesting.

Balance - strict mathematical balancing, which assumes at least somewhat effective play by the innos (hence no spam). I am no math geek so I'm looking for help here.

Not a rule by any stretch but people who don't contribute are helping the killers by confusing the issue so it pays to get rid of them. Strict time limit for periods of inactivity - modkilled if inactive for too long.

That's about it I think.

[Inane Babble]

You mean by the last point that you want no low-posters basically?

There will always be days when work swamps someone or their internet falls over and they simply can't post much. So what would you consider a "strict time limit for periods of inactivity"?

What would you consider spam beyond day 1, images, quote chains, joking or sarcastic responses to comments on thread?

[Malaclypse]

of course people will get busy but if they cannot post at least once in say 24 hours they are modkilled - if heavy opposition, I might consider extending it, but I would much prefer to avoid that - if you can't post once in 24 hours, you really shouldn't be playing imo.

spam=contributions that have no connection to the game which is easy to avoid - no images though! why would you post images in a mafia game? I mean like awkward flirting and bullshit that has nothing whatsoever to do with the game. I'm gonne try to dig up an old set of rules because everything is covered in there.

[Inane Babble]

Game without low posters
No images or off topic posts

Does that sound about right?

[Malaclypse]

The Rules:

RULES

All players must:

A1) Have an account on malazanempire.com/forums

A2) Log in and view the thread and the discussion board anonymously at all times, unless they have informed the mods that this is not possible for technical reasons

A3) Post at least once every 24 hours. Any player who has not posted within the last 24 hours will be automatically modkilled, whether or not the mods announce this on the thread.

The mods may grant extensions to this limit in some cases (if so, they will give details in a later post). However, if they have not posted on the thread to announce an extension before the 24 hour limit is reached, no extension will be granted, whatever may have been said elsewhere. Please contact the mods as early as possible if you wish to request an extension.

A4) Send in role prescribed night actions (including the desire to take no action) within the time limit

A5) Treat everybody else playing with courtesy and respect

A6) Make any edits the mods request of them as soon as possible, whether or not they believe that the posts need to be edited.

A7) Contact the game mods as soon as possible if they feel you are at risk of breaking a rule or fear they or another person may have already done so.

Players must not:

B1) Act in any way intended to reduce the chance of their faction achieving its win conditions. (However, should all surviving members of a faction agree that they wish to resign and end the game early, they may do so by PMing the mods privately, without stating their intentions on-thread until the mods post to announce that the game is over.)

B2) Discuss the game with any other living players outside this game thread except when told they may do so in their role PMs.

B3) Reveal any information about the game at all in any other thread than this one, or in any other forum (including message boards and chat rooms) where it may be seen by a living player.

B4) Give anybody access to any of their accounts (including game alts, if the game is using them), either here or on the mafia discussion board.

B5) Attempt to obtain advice about the game from anybody not currently playing.

B6) Post information on the thread relating to another player's past or current activity on (or absence from) the board that would not otherwise be available to anybody reading the thread.

B7) Quote, in whole or part, PMs from (or other private conversations with) the mods on the thread, or discuss the timing of any PMs sent to the mods.

B8) Post on the thread at any time after they are dead until the mods themselves post on the thread to announce that the game is over. Any posts accidently made after death should be immediately edited blank.

B9) Make any bets about the game.

B10) Offer to break any of these rules or any other rules the mods have set in place for the game, encourage others to do so or help to conceal the fact that rules have been broken.

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW

C1) Failure to comply with the rules may result in any punishment the mods deem appropriate, including, but not limited to: a request to edit posts; formal warnings on thread; "modkilling", lashing, spanking, paddling, the rack, thumbscrews, waterboarding, time-out, death and/or ending the game prematurely in favor of one faction or none. Except where clearly stated in the rules, the mods are free to respond to any rules violation in whatever manner they wish. In all cases the mods' decision on these matters is final.

Basically closer to how it's played at westeros?

Sure, I'm in, depending on when it starts (sort of busy with uni, but that's never stopped me posting lots before...but if it's a deadline week I'll sit it out, like some semblance of a mature responsible person).

[Malaclypse]

yeah, I learned at Westeros. there was a fantastic mafia community there back in the day, dunno about now.

But Mal, those are like the stop sign at an intersection of two state roads in the middle of Wyoming. Some people wave at it as they fly by the rest don't even notice it's there.

Then you add a system like this:

Out. no spam = dry boring game.

[Malaclypse]

Haha, I see you, that's cool - you're feeling insulted or whatever and I can respect that but I'm not interested in 'no's' - it is plain from the OP that I am asking for a response from those who are interested, not those who are not interested.

So kindly take your business elsewhere.

[Gust Hubb]

naw man, more simple than that.

[Malaclypse]

ok princess, PM me if you have something to say, this passive-aggressive nonsense is childish.

[Vengeance]

This is a fine and calm thread and by god I will keep it that way.


Eyeballs everyone.

We'll get as coarse and rowdy as we wish and a pox upon your puny Cimmerian godlings.

[Tapper]

So ehm, is this going to run as 117, or is this a game next to other games (and if so, then what about mod-alts, SH et cetera), or is it going on the mod-list to be ran in the future?
Also, who is going to make and mod it, if Malaclypse doesn't have the mathematical background he seeks?
