Welcome to Chirp.Zone!
MOTD: Harvest’s Bounty Festival is Soon, Don’t Forget to Do Your Dailies In Time!
Thank You For Playing VRSea, the premier Virtual Reality Chatting and Community Service.[/box]

You log onto the server like normal and get ready to do your dailies, hang out with your friends, and prepare for the upcoming seasonal event. It’s a small server, you more or less know everyone on it, all the usual people at least, and you have fun dancing and talking, pointing out the flaws and glitches in each others avatars, playing weird voice clips, and just hanging out.

Nothing weird happens here.
This is just normal technology.
So why do you suddenly feel like you can’t escape?

A chill runs at your back, but you ignore it for now, waiting for your friends and acquaintances on the server to log on, and slowly but surely they do… none of you aware of the danger that is infiltrating your quiet, normal server. But you will be soon. The Bot/Net is here.

Hello! Me and seedy are going to run a mostly serious mafia game, similar to Wander Island but almost certainly not to the same level of, whatever is going on over there. It’s not a bastard or jester or clusterfuck game or any of those, it is a game in which you will be expected to play a regular game of mafia, though there will be of course be some curve balls and the sort of exciting things that we all like to see on this forum. We’re still committed to making sure this game is fun above all else, but don’t expect five day activations or anything.

If you would like to play, sign up and post in this thread and then PM me your VRSea Username. I’m going to steal some rules from Mirdini now.


Rules:

Structure

1. Days will be up to 120 hours (5 days) long. Nights will be NO MORE than 48 hours - if all actions are in, day will start early. Day 1 will only be 72 hours long because, well, Day 1.
2. A Hard Lynch occurs when a simple majority of remaining players votes to lynch a single other player (i.e. above 50%). This ends the day.
3. A Soft Lynch occurs if the day reaches deadline without a hard lynch. A Soft Lynch will target the player with the most votes on them at this point, assuming these votes total more than 25% of remaining players. A tied soft-lynch will result in no lynch for that day.
4. There will be no Day Extensions, barring Extraordinary Circumstances (at which point they may be given at the Mod's discretion).
5. There may be some minor weirdness in the setup, but nothing too wild. You can rule out cults, alignment-swapping, and traitors, at the very least.
6. Every player should make at least one post per in-game day or face replacing out, unless they have given me notice for their absence. If a player is unable to post on a specific day, I will inform everyone in the day start post.
7. If you want to replace out of the game, please let me know privately. In-thread requests do not count.

Game Conduct

1. When voting, remember to bold your votes, or they won't count! If you are swapping your vote you do not need to specify an unvote beforehand - just vote for your next target.
2. All official GM-to-Player communication will be done through the Quicktopics you'll receive in a forum PM when the game starts. Please don't forum PM me with questions, I will miss them. If you've got an urgent question, other issue, or more general mafia question, you can also feel free to DM me on Discord (I'm flowercuco#7717).
3. Do not edit or delete posts in the thread, even if it means you have to quadruple or quintuple-post.
4. Do not share your Quicktopic link with ANYONE, even if you're co-aligned.
5. Do not talk about the game to other players outside of the thread or a sanctioned Quicktopic! This (unfortunately) includes dead players! If you really need to vent about the game, dm me (in Discord) or someone who isn't involved.
6. In general, do not copy/paste stuff en masse out of your Quicktopics or other communications with me, please at least paraphrase information. Posting the exact mechanics of something that happened to you or what item you got in the night is kosher, posting the entirety of your role pm is not. If you're not sure, just ask me.
7. No ciphers or similar chicanery. They're a distraction that only tests people's ability to crack ciphers at best, and a game-breaking nuisance at worst.
8. After you die you may make one last post in the thread that cannot contain any information about the game. Beyond that you're only allowed to post in deadchat.
9. You may not post in the thread at night, except if you're using rule 7's 'bluh post' clause.
10. Try to play to your win condition! If you don't, you're letting everyone else down. If you're tired of playing for whatever reason, please let me know - it's better for everyone for you to replace out than throw the game because you're not having fun.
11. Karkat Rule: No faking day-activations (saying you're activating an ability in-thread, such as the classic Dersehunt Karkat who could take control of the lynch and force it on one player at the cost of his own life), on pain of modkill. There may or may not be day-activated powers! You CAN still lie and *claim* to have a day-activated power you don't, as long as you don't actually fake activating it.
12. Karkat Rule 2: Part 1 is there to ensure that if a day-activation is claimed, ASSUME THE DAY IS PAUSED (i.e. DO NOT POST) until you hear otherwise or The Thing happens. If a day extension is required as a result, I will grant one.
13. Don't try to massclaim Day 1 to solve the game. I've taken precautions against it, it won't help you, bad idea.
14. Follow The Forum Rules above all else. I realize mafia can get heated and occasionally some light *fist-shake*-level outrage is unavoidable (or even desirable), but there is a line that should not be crossed. If you find yourself typing up a personal attack beyond the level of 'ahhhhh you scummy jerk!' take your hands off the keyboard, phone, or tablet (or stop talking into your speech-to-text), stand up, and head out for a calming walk.

The GM Clauses

1. My word is final, in unforeseen circumstances there may be exceptions made to the above rules (except for Rule 14 of Game Conduct, which is inviolable).
2. Breaking the above rules will result in sanctions depending on the severity of the rule-breakin', up to and including the ol' modkill.
3. There will be a lot of flavor in this game! Do not take it all to heart. Unless you are explicitly some form of flavor cop, you are probably not going to be receiving private flavor clues in your night-action flavor that will help you puzzle out the game. Stuff like daystart kill flavor may or may not be relevant, however.
