It's been a long time since I last hosted a mafia game, but I had some interesting ideas and people said they might play if there was a Homestuck theme. So voila! A game was born.

This is a limited OC game for up to 12 players. Subs are welcome.

I am warning you in advance that the game may not be properly balanced. You should still be able to have plenty of fun.

Spoiler (Rules)

1) Have fun.
2) Be active
3) If you think you should have received communication from the host and you have not, contact the host private.
3a) If there is a host error it will be announced in the main thread as soon as it becomes apparent.
4) This game is NOC, with some exception.
4a) The only OC allowed will be the Pesterchum system. This will be implemented through a limited number of private conversations on SF only. It will have its own rule section explaining specifics.
4b) Any discussion of the game outside of sanctioned Pesterchums or the main game thread is prohibited.
5) Every user has a Role PM. It will tell you your character, your role, your alliance, and your win conditions.
5a) If anything in the Role PM stands in contradiction with these rules, the Role PM takes precedence.
5b)

Dear Balcerzak,
You are Andrew Hussie, Waste of Space.

You are this game's Host: You must PM the users their Role PMs and the results of their night actions. During any phase you may post “##PHASE END: DO NOT POST” and the phase will end. If deemed appropriate you may also post, “##MODSILENCE USER” or “##MODKILL USER” and User will either be unable to post until further notice, or killed immediately.

You are allied with the Hosts and win if the players have fun.

Your alternate win condition is to post a detailed postgame no later than one week following the conclusion of the game.

6) Screenshotting of all forms is prohibited.
7) Day phase voting must take place in a ##Vote: USER format.
7a) At the end of the day, the user with the most votes will be lynched.
7b) If the ##Vote: NO LYNCH has the most votes, nobody will be lynched.
7c) In the event of a tie, the results of the lynch are subject to the whims of the host.
8) If you have an action and do not wish to use it, send the host a PM saying “PHASE X: IDLING”.
9) Inspection results are not guaranteed to be accurate.
10) Death is not necessarily the end.
11) The game will begin with Day 1.
12) Day Phases will last 48 hours, with a limit of one 24 hour extension per day.
12a) Extensions must be requested for by at least 30% of the game's current living members.
12b) Day Phases will end early if there is a supermajority (at least 60%) of votes on a user.
13) Night Phases will last 24 hours, with no extension available.
13a) If you anticipate missing a Night Phase, PM the host with your desired action in the preceding Day Phase.
13b) Night Phases will not end early.
14) There are no hidden players.
15) When in doubt, ask the host.

Spoiler (Pesterchum Rules)

1) Every Day Phase a user may take part in up to two distinct Pesterchum conversations.
1a) I imagined this as being one outgoing, and one incoming, however this isn't strictly required.
2) Any user wishing to begin a Pesterchum /must/ proceed by opening a new PM with the game host, who will then invite the intended recipient if they have not exceeded their limit.
2a) The PM Title should be "HOMESTUCK MAFIA - DAY X: PESTER USER". This is not required, but makes things easier on the host.
2b) The PM Body should include the desired text of the first post of the conversation.
2c) If the intended recipient has already reached their limit, the host will reply with "USER IS BUSY PESTERING ANOTHER CHUM". If this happens it does not count against the hopeful initiator's limit of conversations.
3) A Pesterchum conversation will last 24 real-time hours from the time the recipient first posts in the PM thread.
4) All regular game rules for posting in the game thread also apply to posting in Pesterchum threads.
5) You may not initiate Pesterchums during Night Phases.

Yes, Master Balcerzak. I am in. Because I need to unhinge the balance of your game.

EDIT: Tag facepalm in the host PM.

Proof that misspellings and tag fails are not to be instant proof of fake pms, I guess. Oh my!

Also, what tag fail? *whistle*
