Forum Mafia 19: Forbidden Actions

Welcome to Forum Mafia 19: Forbidden Actions!

Game is over. Ended on Day 5

Mafia wins! This game was ranked.

The mastermind's behind this game are Gerry, Mori and myself.

The game will be played like any other Forum Mafia game, with one twist! Every player will be given an action pregame. If the action they are given is performed, they will be Killed from the game, with their forbidden action being shown afterward. More information will be given under Rules.

I. The Schedule:

72 Hour Days. 24 Hour Nights

  • If you don't submit actions by the deadline I will consider you taking no action.

II. The Set Up:

  • There is no "possible roles list". I promise not to get too crazy.

  • Mafia will have Day chat. And will know each other's Forbidden Actions

  • You will get an Alignment PM. Town or Mafia and your alignment will not change.

Sample Role PM:

Welcome to Forum Mafia 19, papuito!

Your role is Vanilla Townie, you are sided with the Town.

Your only power in this game is your voice and your vote. Good luck.

Your forbidden action is: Using pictures or gifs in any of your posts

YOU CANNOT SHARE THIS FORBIDDEN ACTION WITH ANYONE

You win if all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one town-aligned player is alive.

Mafia Sample:

Welcome to Forum Mafia 19, papuito!

Your role is Mafia Goon, you are sided with the Mafia.

You are partners with (Player name) and (Player name). You share a day talk here (url here).

Your forbidden action is: Using pictures or gifs in any of your posts

YOU CAN ONLY SHARE YOUR FORBIDDEN ACTION WITH MAFIA MEMBERS.

Each night, one of you or your partners may perform the factional kill. You may kill and perform your role action during the same night.

You win if at least one member of your group is alive and all other players are dead (or if nothing can prevent the same)

III. The Rules:

Forum Mafia 19 Rules:

http://pastebin.com/kEUDw4T9 (The only modification is that mafia may kill and perform role action in the same night. Only 1 mafia member commits the kill.)

As explained earlier, there will be forbidden actions. YOU CANNOT SHARE YOUR FORBIDDEN ACTION. If found to, you will be mod killed. If you commit the forbidden action, you will be killed from the game. You may speculate forbidden actions of others within the game. If asked whether your forbidden action is something, you cannot confirm or deny. You can also not soft or hint as to what your forbidden action is.

We also will be strict about ISP and replacements. If you think for any reason you MAY have to be replaced, do not sign up. We also reserve the right to deny anyone from joining, if we believe you will troll, isp, sub.

IV. Votes:

  • Votes must be made in the format Vote: Playername. Bolding is done using the tags [b][/b].

  • I will not take any other type of vote. If I can't tell who you're voting, I won't take it.

MOD NOTE Mori will be giving out a token prize to a player from each alignment who the hosts determined played best.

V. Game Log:

XXNicoleXX: Vanilla Townie. Lynched Day 1.

Her forbidden action: Town NLing any day.

Damned: Vanilla Townie. Killed Night 1.

His forbidden action: Double Posting and editing post.

yoyo200900: Vanilla Townie. Lynched Day 2

His forbidden action: Any Day lasting less than 36 hours.

VI. Subs:

I think OMGUS is closer to a towntell in normal mafia games


it's so easy to do as mafia that there's no way you should think that

citeopmI says


and I can't read well in forum mafia but I think you're scum with the way you entered after such a delay.


there was a delay between the time that i was subbed in and the time i was able to post. i posted as soon as i was able.


citeopmI says


It looks to me like you're faking certainty without any real scumhunting. You made two posts that tried to explain reads but I don't think it's enough to really believe in those.


in the end, there will never be much certainty. but ostensibly lacking certainty leads to a show of weakness. how can you expect the people that i fos to have an opportunity to react to my fos if i do not seem certain about it? where would the benefit be in acting as though i am uncertain? you have not been given many opportunities to fos me yet you seem as certain as i do with my reads.


citeopmI says


Ideal towntold more than you did and I know ideal ates as scum. Your reaction is atrocious play no matter what you are and frustrating to read.



i don't understand what you are talking about. why are you bringing up ideal's play? my reaction to what is atrocious play? do you really think that being frustrating to read is indicative of me being aligned with the mafia?

I'm impossible to meta

I agree I've been pretty tame this game

IIRC last game when I was scum I exploded the entire time

In the Perish game, as you know I exploded the entire game.

My approach to the game is different every time and as any alignment.

This is your townplay: http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=67015&user_select=27489

A lot more passive than your play right now. You're so much more chill and "w/e" with lynches while when you're scum you're so much more aggressive and dominating as seen in your Perish game. I feel a sense of that right now. I mean feel free to counter this meta because being meta'd sucks and if you want to prove me wrong I'm more than willing to allow that.


i mean even if they don't counter it are you implying you don't play different ways as town depending on the game?? I've seen games where you were a lot more aggressive as town, soda. Does that make you scum this game?

I know the people that write that wiki. They're not Gods, believe it or not.


not only that, as is pointed out IN the wiki itself, it's outdated and literally cannot be absolute by nature of what it is and what it's covering.

In MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, town players tend to OMGUS more because scum is avoiding it, whereas town will do it if they SR the people SRing them even if it makes them look scummy. I'd personally do it as either alignment I think, but that doesn't mean yoyo should think I'm scum for it.

Yoyo seems to be faking reads without really thinking about them.

btw if u cared soda, i think hes town because hes likely some kind of investigative role based on interactions of retti/n1ed talking. this all accounts to nothing if they're both maf together though

btw, i don't actually want impoetic to die, i just found it really funny that she practically slipped and has the possibility OF dying. pretty much, if her forbidden action wasn't known, i don't think the statement would kill her. i don't even think itll really kill her now, but itd be funny enough to see

"As a standalone statement it's meaningless. There are plenty of reasons to be afraid of voting."

just gonna point out again its not a standalone statement. its clearly impoetic thinking it doesn't matter what she generally says about her forbidden action because himiko literally outted it. if impoetics forbidden action wasnt outted, she would not say "im too scared to change my vote". she would look at the voting logs herself and check

Actually this is what I'd call not having a genuine reads progression. Transcend have you looked at yoyo?

omgus is not a scumtell


"a Scum player will use it to cover a strategic vote, feigning outrage to get someone else closer to a lynch."

I see that as a gargantuan scumtell from denial. Definitely something I'd be far more inclined to do as scum.


this is exactly what I was thinking.

textbook OMGUS. classic scumtell.


omgus is not a scumtell and i have method to my madness so f'ck off.

all i have on N1ed is he's a visiting role who visited retti and has a forbidden action of can't roleclaim (or something along those lines) which is mod confirmed.

i guess i wouldnt kick and scream if he got run up but i feel like his entrance to today was towny.

like if anyone's lynchbait I think n1ed and babylonia both fit the bill due to being quiet. If town is obligated to show every stage in their reads progression why do you SR babylonia but not me? Cuz I think I've been pretty stingy with my reads this game, and intentionally so.

This is scum Natalie again. I'm not gonna scream at the top of my lungs to get her lynched because only good that did was getting me lynched lol.


Seriously, what's the connection between this game and the Perish game?

Transcend says

Can someone do me a solid and tell me why n1ed is town lol


i just tried to as best i could w/o actually going back and quoting things. I don't really remember how well n1ed can towntell as scum and I know i underestimated him one game BUT I know he towntells more as town and will keep towntelling if we keep him around, so if he's scum I think it'll be more evident as the game goes on. I don't remember who his SRs were though

Shady is a trait I like in trees and not much else, denial. And no, that shouldn't be a kill. As a standalone statement it's meaningless. There are plenty of reasons to be afraid of voting.

Vote: denial
