Alright pretty simple game rules.

5 players

There are 2 possible setups

  • a) 4 Blues and 1 Maf
  • b) 5 Blues

After 2 week's time (or earlier), the town must decide to lynch someone or no-lynch.

If it's the setup with no maf and town no-lynch then everyone wins. If it's the setup with 1 maf then town have to lynch that person. there is no day 2

It takes 4 votes to lynch. At the end of 2 weeks, majority votes goes through.

Sample Role PM:

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

Rules:

All the usual stuff for forum mafia - don't cheat/troll/OGI etc. Votes must be made in the format Vote: Playername. Bolding is done using the tags [b][/b].

Note: i'm flipping a coin to decide the setup. if it's the setup with a maf then i'll use RNG to decide who the maf is

"Note: i'm flipping a coin to decide the setup. if it's the setup with a maf then i'll use RNG to decide who the maf is"

I think the odds of setup a should be 5 times more than setup b or else it's always optimal for town to nl. I think you should use rng to generate a number between 1 to 6, if 6 go with setup b otherwise go with setup a

Direct all questions towards Arcbell. He's gonna be dealing with this (he'll remake the game thread)

well if you did you'd know that even day start setups with PRs/mechanics begin with "nothing to go on" and as the content level rises people start from preliminary weak reads to getting stronger reads as time passes

i'm of the idea that decent players don't need reports/PRs/mechanics to hunt for scum. A lot of forum mafia games begin with day start. It's usually RQS(Random Questions)/RVS(Random votes) being the initial posts, prs stay hidden and people still manage to scumhunt


I'm just a bit sceptical about it, but I hope I'm wrong.


i take it you've never played forum mafia on an actual forum mafia website


Yeah, that's why I'm possibly wrong.

it's like going into a 3 way lylo no clear when the previous days were instant votes with barely any content...you can still scumhunt on the final day lol


Sounds like unranked fancy pants. :D


it happens in more setups than just fancy pants. FP completely relies on prs lmao

You don't need cops/PRs to scumhunt, all you need is context and applying pressure / rxn tests to see how players react or how their tone is.

just scumhunt champ

With no mechanics involved, if present, mafia has no reason to do anything for which they'd be scumread. I think it's going to be a random lynch.
