Bard Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Pirates of the Caribbean Mafia Hullo, and welcome to PotC Mafia! Where we draw parallels between the piratey life and Mafia─where else do you get by on the strength of your bluffs and the sharpness of your wit than in Mafia (and on a pirate ship)! This game is meant for 11 players. There is one important thing to note before signing up: This is a bastard game. By my definition, that means a given role does not necessarily need to have an opposite (framer does not imply cop), and what is conventionally a Town role may be a Scum role. Does that mean role spec is out of the question? Well, I'd discourage it! Also note: The setup of this game may be bastard beyond my definition. I consider it "non-standard", but eclipse considers it bastard. Take that as thou willt. What this game does NOT have are alignment changing roles, revival roles, masons/neighbours, or mod-fabricated PMs. What this game CAN have are roles modifying your flips, Independent Third Parties, Trackers While All Mafia Cannot Be Tracked, Paranoid Cops, Docs-Who-Are-Actually-Vigs-But-They-Don't-Know-It and other assorted nonsense! However, I guarantee that the aim of the setup is to be enjoyable, and so there is no role that "punishes" you for having it. There's also no vanilla. Let me repeat that: there are no vanillas in this game. I've also done my best to ensure no role is functionally vanilla, but no guarantees that some of the conditions to make them useful are likely to appear. With that said, there are some rules to observe regarding this game: Note: I reserve the right to intervene in any behaviour I deem inappropriate, regardless of whether it is covered in these rules or not. This only covers extremely abusive behaviour, however, so I don't expect to invoke this. 1. Strive to create a fun game environment. If things get out of hand and I decide, at my discretion, that there is an escalation of grievances, I will take appropriate action, including but not limited to removing offending parties from the game, and declaring the game to be a universal loss. 2. It is expressly not allowed to communicate with anyone outside of the game thread, with the exception of mod sanctioned QTs and PMs with game moderators. If you must do it, do it in such a way that I will not find out. There is no Graveyard. If you are dead, you may talk with people not involved in the game. That means you can NOT post in mod sanctioned QTs or PM players, but go nuts with talking with others as you see fit. There's just no Graveyard. Do not create one. 3. All Day Phases last 48 hours. All Night Phases last 24 hours. These times are mutable to meet a need. Day Phases may be shortened if player counts drop and game content allows. Note that not sending in an action during the appropriate phase within the allotted time will result in forfeiting your right to act. Not posting for a period of 24 hours or more will result in a prod. Two prods results in elimination from the game. A sufficient excuse (at my discretion) may stay my hand on this one. 4. There exist no roles that allow posting at night or post-mortem. Do not post if you are dead or if it is Night Phase. If a deadline has passed or a hammer has fallen, I request you cease posting even without a moderator acknowledging the passed deadline or dropped hammer. Since it is a request, ignoring it won't adversely affect you, but I may adjust rules if I deem it abusive. 5. It is not permitted to post communique with the mod publicly. This includes role PMs, but also mod-given clarifications or other PMs. Paraphrases are allowed, however. Scum may repost their role PMs, but obviously not publicly in the thread. 6. Characters, alignments and/or roles do not need to be linked intricately. Fakenames may be supplied to any party, including Town, to ensure you always have a safe name to claim in case you just don't want to let your character known, however. 7. Administer votes through ##Vote: [player's display name]. Vote may be capitalised, but other verbs will not be accepted. It is not necessary to unvote. It is possible to No Lynch. If votes do not pass the threshold before deadline, No Lynch will be assumed. It is possible to Random Lynch. ##Vote: Random for a Random Lynch. 8. LYLO and MYLO will not be announced. 9. Don't change display names during the game. It's annoying for me to keep track of many aliases. Don't edit your posts either, doing so is grounds for punitive action. In closing, I am looking for 11 willing players. Any number of subs may apply, but mind that there will be no substitutes after Day 1. There will be no informed observers, but one or two hands to help with votecounts and hammers would be appreciated (and in effect, will be informed observers: You get full rights to post flips in my absence!)

Percivalé Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 helloooo what do I see here (mmmm I'm enjoying the bastard conditions) count me in! if my anxiety acts up I'll let you know, just means I probably won't play my best if it happens. I'm not in school so it shouldn't be too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoz Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) What's the lynch threshold? Edited January 4, 2014 by Kaoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SB. Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I can sub after the 10th, but I'd probably not have enough time to dedicate to stuff I need to get done before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bard Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) What's the lynch threshold? 11 alive - 6 10 alive - 6 9 alive - 5 8 alive - 5 7 alive - 4 6 alive - 4 5 alive - 3 4 alive - 3 3 alive - 2 2 alive - Silly you, the game's ended. @SB: Noted, but I'm not allowing substituting after Day 1. Nnnnot very likely Day 1 will end after the 10th, unless sign-ups are exceedingly slow. @Miria: Also noted. Let me know if you have anxiety attacks and I'll try to accommodate however I can.

Bard Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Note, Objection? I'll get you the role PMs ONCE I FINALISE THEM because I was a dunce and didn't get them flavour yet. That takes like, a few hours because I need to fix dinner soon and then go raid Bahamut's Coil, but we probably won't pass turn 2 so I can get to writing flavours then. It'll be super fun, I promise. We'll have a QT and gloat over how bastard it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bard Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Can I be a co-mod and also a player. You'll have to pick one or the other! I'll help with modding stuff as well. If Baldrick picks to be a player, you're welcome! If he wants to be a co-mod that badly, then I'll have to decline since having more than two co-mods is bound to lead to serious issues down the lane.

Bard Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 That leaves just one sign-up to go! I'm going to skimp on getting co-mods set up with info because the Binding Coil of Bahamut kicked our arse in five different ways, and I'm pretty pooped. Imagine a game where you get a 15s debuff. If it reaches 0, everyone dies. You have to pass it on to another player by walking into them. Refreshes on passing. Kicker: If you pass it on, you are 45s immune to it, but if it reaches 0 everyone still dies. Meanwhile you have to dodge a gazillion AoE attacks and keep your tanks topped up and do damage to boss. Much sad, all death, very wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
