Welcome to Interguild Town. The Interguild, made real. Personified. Population: Between 0 and 144 -- it depends on how many of us are actually Neezles and whether or not Neezles is a robot. Interguild Town is a sunny place with green lawns and peaceful streets. On weekends, the kids bike down to the park to play "Count to 5000" and "Word Association". The fuchsia walls of the Ninja Koopa's HQ glisten in the sun, as Sprout Tower looms in the distance. At night, the curious scale to the top of Sprout Tower, and, using the telescope that's mounted on top, they peer deep into the night, perhaps in search of Haily's comet.

But a fowl wind has been blowing these past few sleeps. Whispers of an "Overlord", that has come to Interguild Town, bent on World Domination, echo between the city walls. Some of our congressmen (who are typically referred to as "mods" by the members of the town) have been seen acting strangely, and abusing their powers for no good reason, as if taking direction from some malevolent force. One mod was spotted hanging annoying marquees all over town, while another even changed somebody's name without their prior knowledge or approval, all the while, making the people around them "lose the game". Now people are even worried about the food supply, as the population of rabbits have been exploding as of late, and they're eating all the crops.

I am "Haily", and contrary to popular belief, everything bad that happens is not my fault. Long ago, I helped to build the foundation of this town, and now I've come back to help make sure it survives the turmoil on the horizon. But I can't do it alone! We're all in this together. And together, surely we can rid the town of those that mean us harm. If your name is below, then you been selected to be on the town council. This council will first meet tomorrow, and they will meet again every day until we are certain that we have rid ourselves of the evil doers.

The Interguild Mafia Game is about to start! Please read and fully understand all of the rules below. Once you're sure you've got it, post below and I will send out what's known as a "role PM". This contains all the information you need to know about your "character" and it's abilities. It's best that you keep everything in it secret, for now. Once you have received and fully understand your role PM, please post again below to confirm (if you have any questions about the role specifically, send me a PM about it). As far as sending me PM's goes, do not hesitate to send me one, but as I have a limit of 50 or so PM's in my inbox at once, please wait until I have replied to one PM before sending another. Once everybody has posted that they have received and understand their role PM, then we can begin!

NOTE TO ANYBODY NOT INVOLVED IN THE GAME:
As you are not playing in this game, do NOT post in Interguild Mafia Forum (it is made public so that you can follow along with the action). Do not post about the game around the site (and especially don't post about any suspicions you may have) and do not PM people about the game who currently involved in it.


General Structure Of The Game

At the start of the game, the players are randomly assigned to be members of either the "town" or the "mafia". If you are a member of the town, you win when all the members of the mafia are eliminated. If you are a member of the mafia, you win when the mafia comprises the majority of the remaining players. There are always significantly less members of the mafia then there are members of the town, but the mafia have the advantage of knowing who the other members of the mafia are, and being allowed to talk to one another outside of the game's main threads. There may be players that are neither town nor mafia, and if you are one of them, your win conditions will be explained in the role PM I send you. Once all the roles have been assigned, the game then proceeds into a series of alternating day and night phrases, until somebody's win condition is met.

During the day, all the players are expected to post in the designated thread, where they will discuss the ongoings of the game, and argue about who is mafia and who isn't. Be sure to be very careful about the things you say. You wouldn't want to say something that makes the rest of the town suspicious of you. You will also not want to reveal your role, at least in the early going, since if the mafia know what the town's roles are, then they have a much easier figuring out which of them it would be most beneficial to kill.

All players get one vote (which they can change throughout the day phase, as their opinions changes as well), and they use that vote to vote for who they want to see eliminated from the game (aka: lynched). The town is trying to lynch members of the mafia, while the mafia is trying to mislead the town into lynching a member of the town instead (though having nobody be lynched at all often works to the mafia's advantage). Once a majority of the remaining player's votes are for a single player (for example, if there are 8 people alive, then 5 of them would have to vote for the single player for them to be lynched), then that player is lynched and removed from the game. When a player is lynched, that player's role and alignment are revealed. Congratulations to the town, if the person they lynched turned out to be working for the mafia, but if they were in fact a member of the town, then all is not lost -- vital information is gained by analyzing the events of the previous day, and perhaps you will be able to find a mafioso responsible for the mislynch. Once a player is lynched, the day ends and we move into the night phase. There will be a time limit placed on the day phase, and if a lynch is not reached by then, the day will end without a lynch.

Notes About the Day Phase:
- When you wish to vote for a player, at the bottom of your post, write VOTE: (player name). It is important that you bold your votes (use the appropriate bbCode) so that, when I go to do a vote count, I don't miss any.
- If you wish to change your vote from one player to another or to just remove your vote from the player you voted for, first write UNVOTE: (player name). Please bold all unvotes as well.
- As who has voted for who can get confusing, I will attempt to periodically keep you updated on the current vote counts. If you feel a vote count would be helpful, feel free to post in the thread that you would like one.
- Stay active. You will be expected to post a few times in every "day". If possible, I will replace people who I feel aren't active enough.
- Do not talk about the game outside of the thread, AT ALL. Don't talk about it in some other thread, don't talk about it in the chatbox, and most importantly of all, don't talk about it in private messages to one another. Only the mafia my talk about the game outside of the main thread, and even then, they must ONLY use the secret mafia board.
- If you have some question about the game, please send me (and only me) a private message about it. Note that I only have limited space in my inbox, so please only send me one PM at a time.
- DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS. Everything that is said is meant to be part of the public record. If you have something else to say or even if you just made a mistake in typing your previous post, then, just this once, double-posting is both allowed and preferred.
- DO NOT QUOTE MY PM's. Everything that I say to you in a PM is intended for your eyes only. Don't even pretend to quote me, using something that I didn't actually write.

Once the day ends, the night phase begins. Nobody may post in the main thread during the night. If you have a special action that you can perform, send me a PM stating whether or not you wish to use it. Whether or not you have an action to perform will be detailed in the role PM I send you. It is during the night phase that the mafia will choose one member of the town to kill. If everything goes according to plan, there will be one less member of the town alive once the next day phase starts. The role and alignment of the player who was killed will be revealed at the start of the next day. There is also a time limit on the night phase, so if you have an action to perform, make sure you send it in before the deadline.

Notes About the Night Phase:
- PM me any night actions you may have before the deadline. Any actions received after the deadline will be ignored. If you wish to abstain, send a PM saying so. If everybody sends in their actions right away, we can start the next day phase sooner.
- Do not post in the thread during the night phase. Unless you are mafia and posting in the secret mafia board, you may not talk about the game at all during the night.
- If you arrive in the "morning" to find out that you have died, you may NOT post in the thread. If you have died, you are out of the game, but, even though you are dead, you will still win if the people you were aligned with end up winning the game. If you were mafia, and you die, you may not post in the secret mafia board anymore, as well. I will arrange for a secret "graveyard" board, where people who have died can talk about the game without having to worry about giving anything away. If you have access to any secret forums, it is of the utmost importance that you DO NOT karma rate ANYTHING. Anything you rate will become visible to anyone in the "recent karma rates" panel.

Everybody in the game has a role or some sort of special ability. In this game, the roles and abilities are based on the users of the Interguild. I will make an attempt to always differentiate between the real members and the "character" that they are playing by always putting the character names in quotes. Inside the spoiler below is the giant list of roles from the sign-up thread. You don't have to read it all. It's purpose is to just give you an idea of the types of roles that you might be playing with and against.

Spoiler:


Anybody caught breaking any rules will receive punishments based on the severity of the rules broken. You can be "mod-killed" if I deem the infraction to be especially severe. I may even suspend you from the site if I feel you have completely spoiled the game for everybody else.

I don't know yet.

It depends on how much activity we're getting, but I would expect that day phases would last 1 or 2 weeks, and night phases a couple days.

This is a better way, IMO, this way confusion is avoided and everyone can see who's confirmed.

It's also a good way to see if someone forgets they're entering. (sup_mus)

Cool.

Waiting on Yaya and Jorster to confirm, and sup_mus to appear at all. After Yaya and Jorster confirm, sup_mus will have 24 hours to respond before I replace him with Bmwsu. Let me know if you're still here, B.
