Dias is co-host.
Mafia amped up…
Haiku adds difficulty.
You ready for this?
Posts have restriction…
Five-Seven-Five Syllabic.
Do not violate.
Or you can
use three-five-three verse.
If your speed.
I am lenient.
A syllable here and there
Is not critical.
Extreme form breaking
Is not okay in my book.
Shall be Case-by-case.
Traditional Haiku
Occasionally is off
By a syllable.
Even sometimes two.
I am not going to be
A thorough stickler.
Votes need not haiku.
Nor your PMs to the mod.
Nor scumchat either.
Three play for the scum,
Nine play for the side of town.
Many roles throughout.
Something to ponder…
Night numbering does matter.
Important to all.
Day phases will be…
Seventy-two hours with...
Nights two real days.
Follow the rules.
Have fun playing Mafia.
Refrigerator.
#0: I am the host and I reserve the rights to change these rules.
I am the final arbiter of role interactions and game rule infringements. I will never lie or intentionally mislead you. If you have a problem with a ruling I make, please shelve it until after the game. To the best of my and my reviewers' knowledge, this is not a bastard game.
#1: Follow the spirit of these rules in addition to the letter.
These rules direct the actions of human beings and are enforced by human beings. I am lenient in many a case, as I know that human beings are fallible and that players often don't read the rules. That said, I do not like to have to warn the same player for the same rule multiple times.
If you try to cheat the game or the game rules in any manner, usually it will be discovered. As of the writing of this rule, I only have one offense for which I would blacklist a player, and my blacklist contains zero players. That offense is intentionally and knowingly cheating. If I catch you intentionally and knowingly cheating, not only will you be immediately modkilled, not only will I not allow you in any games I run in the future, but I will do everything in my power to ensure that you do not participate in any other games on this site or in any other community in which I play Mafia.
If you believe that you have found a mistake or loophole in these rules, please discuss it with me before posting.
#2: Have fun, be respectful towards the other people involved in the game and follow the normal forum rules. This is a game, which we're playing for fun. Expect a low tolerance for toxicity.
You are responsible for following all forum and subforum rules and guidelines. Forum-wide rules are available here. Mafia Society rules are available here and here.
Mafia is a game, we’re here to have fun. Please be respectful of the other people involved in the game. Sometimes emotions run high and we get caught up in the moment. That is not an excuse for flaming or poor sportsmanship.
I won't be moderating profanity. That's on you.
While I don't care about cursing, I will report, replace, and/or modkill you for derogatory content, in particular, slurs, in relation to or targeted towards another user or person, at my own reasonable discretion.
#3: Keep the out-of-game separate from the in-game. This is a modkillable/reportable offense.
DO NOT talk about this game outside of this thread and quicktopic links or PMs given to you in your role PM or approved by me. Please attempt to copy me in as appropriate on out-of-game messages sent to other players. It is a good idea to ask permission before discussing the game with anyone outside the game, because they can no longer replace into the game once any meaningful discussion takes place.
DO NOT directly quote or screenshot your role PM or any private communications when posting in the main game thread. This includes mason chats and scum chats. Pretending to break this rule is the same as actually breaking it. Putting words or phrases in quotation marks when discussing private communications with the host in-thread is also a violation of this rule. Please paraphrase - if you are in doubt, ask me before posting!
DO NOT bring up rule-breaking in thread. If you feel that someone is breaking the rules, bring it up with myself and/or the game manager for the game directly.
When generating (or faking, as applicable) reads, please do not use angleshooting or out-of-game knowledge, to the best of your ability. This means do not use the timing, reasons, or order of substitutions and modkills to influence others, do not use the timing or phrasing of role PMs to influence others, do not make alignment bets with out of game consequences, and do not use “trust tells” or similar. This list is not exhaustive. Providing direct proof (e.g. picture of yourself at an out-of-game activity, screenshot of out-of-game notes) of an out-of-game context in thread is another form of angleshooting.
It is a modkillable offense if you quote/mention someone in a secret club that you use to take notes in. It is recommended to not use a secret club on MAL if you wish to take notes on a mafia game. This website [url]https://www.quicktopic.com/[/url] or a text file is recommended instead.
#4: By confirming that you have received your Role PM you also confirm that you have read it.
Not reading your Role PM is a form of cheating. I consider there to only be one warning for this, for life. If I know that a player knows that they must read their role PM but chooses not to do so, this rule and related consequences will be enforced with great prejudice.
#5: DO NOT make more than a small edit to posts unless discussed with the mod. Even if it’s an accidental double post. In particular, DO NOT delete posts. This is a modkillable/reportable offense.
#6: No funny business. If you no longer wish to participate in a game for any reason, contact the moderator. Do NOT attempt to force the moderator to modkill you. DO NOT use invisible text, cryptography, tiny writing, hidden messages, acronym/alphabet claims, trust tells, lynching for reasons outside of perceived alignment, or similar. DO NOT post after you are dead. DO NOT post if you are not a player. This is a modkillable/reportable offense.
#7: Post game-related content as required by the game-specific inactivity rules. LET'S MAKE THIS A REPLACEMENT-FREE GAME, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.
If you have not maintained minimum posting requirements, you will be prodded. Failing to respond to the prod within 24 hours will lead to your replacement or modkill. Content is, of course, subjective, but “Posting to avoid prod,” “catching up,” or similar short not-really-game-related posts are obviously not content. If you need to be absent for an extended period of time please post “V/LA until [Date]” in bold on its own line in the thread so that I and the other players know when you’ll be back. You do not need to explain your reasons for being absent in thread. If you will be gone for more than a full round, you should consider requesting replacement.
#8: Do not spam the thread.
While I will not enforce a strict posting maximum, if I feel that you're posting too much in a row (more than five posts in a row is generally excessive), action may be taken ranging from a warning to eventual replacement/modkill. That said, I do not usually consider simple edits by way of double posting in this context, unless it is egregious.
#9: I make no promises about public answers to any question. If you have a question about your role or a rules interaction, please communicate with me privately.
I will be particularly unlikely to answer questions posed to me in the game thread other than questions about vote counts or deadlines. If you raise a question in a private message that needs addressing to the entire game (regarding a special rule or similar), I will respond as I feel is appropriate.
#10: Once a lynch is reached, votes are considered locked in. Votes and unvotes made after that will not be counted. (This is known as the Twilight phase.)
#11: If deadline is reached and no player fulfills the requirements to be lynched, the day ends with no lynch.
#12: Make your votes clear to the mod. BOLD your votes and place them on a separate line.
Unbolded votes will not be counted, nor will votes in the middle of a huge wall of text. Unvoting is helpful but is not required.
#13: Scum players may submit actions for other scum players if the other scum player has not submitted an action. However, if the other player ever submits an action, their fellow scum cannot change what that player submitted.
#14: DO NOT POST IN THE THREAD DURING THE NIGHT PHASE, UNLESS YOUR ROLE SAYS OTHERWISE.
TL;DR: Be excellent to each other, don't be inactive, ask me questions in private when possible, don’t edit or delete posts, no funny business involving cryptography, etc. and... have fun, that’s the whole point.
Posts are restricted to 5-7-5 or 3-5-3 syllabic verse only, with the exception of votes and scumchat. Violating this post restriction beyond 1-2 syllables here and there (enforced at mod discretion) will lead to:
First time: Warning.
Second time: Final Warning.
Third time: Modkill or replace.
At the start of the game, there are three members of the scum team and nine members of the town team.
The game will be majority lynch during the day and plurality lynch at the end of the day.
Lynch Deadlines will be 72 hours, with potential shortening later in the game at mod discretion.
After the lynch deadline, there will be a Twilight phase of 0-24 hours.
Night phases will last 48-60 hours. Actions will be due within the first 24 hours of the Night phase.

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwroughtwithgolden andsilver light, The blue and thedim andthe dark cloths Of night andlight andthe half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
I felt like playing again even though it has being a while. Don't expect anywhere near my normal level of activity. That being said, I always had a mafia addiction issue so may end up more active then I expect lol.
"I am the Bone of my Sword
Steel is my Body and Fire is my Blood
I have created over a Thousand Blades
Unaware of Loss,
Nor aware of Gain.
Withstood Pain to create Weapons, Waiting for one’s Arrival
I have no Regrets. This is the only Path
My whole life was Unlimited Blade Works"
Uve been in in this club for a while, have u ever played mafia here?
I've played a few when i first joined the club, unfortunately life hasn't given me much time to actively participate in games. kiddos take up most of my time enjoyably but having gone without internet for the last 3 years definitely put a damper on club participation. hoping to be able to pick up participation since finally got internet again. :)
