Monster Manual Mafia Rules and Sign Up

[Pleonast]

Monster Manual Mafia

Heroes have invaded the dungeon!

This is a Sock-only game. Every player must be a new Sock. Socks with a theme from the Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying game are encouraged, but not required. Please do not let any other player know your identity. (It's up to you if you inform the moderator.) Once the game has ended, we can take off the Socks. Please don't reveal earlier, since it makes it easier to guess the identity of Socks still in the game. There are no in-game effects from knowing the identity of a Sock or telling another player your true identity; it's all just for fun.

Every player will be either on the Monster side (about three quarters) or the Hero side (about one quarter). Monsters win when all Heroes are eliminated and at least one Monster remains alive. Heroes win when all Monsters are eliminated or it becomes inevitable. Players cannot change sides nor victory conditions. Each player will have a role, side, alignment, and list of one or more powers. There is no default or vanilla role. Some players might have access to false role messages. Each player who is eliminated by any means will have their role message publicly revealed by the moderator.

Players will not receive results of the use of their powers, unless the power explicitly returns a result. If available, a player may use more than one power simultaneously. Powers might be blocked, redirected, obfuscated, or otherwise protected against with no indication to the user. There may be undisclosed exceptions to a power. No power uses randomness generated by the moderator. Powers take effect simultaneously. There are no powers that can affect the vote count--any voting discrepancies are due to moderator error, and should be pointed out as soon as possible for correction. However, there might be powers that could affect the lynch.

A player may vote for as many or as few players as they wish, or for No Lynch. Votes must be in bold blue (vote Pleonast) and unvotes in bold red (unvote Pleonast). The player with the most votes at the end of the Day will be lynched, unless No Lynch received the most votes. Any player who is not actively voting at the end of the Day will have all powers mod-blocked that Day and the following Night and will receive an infraction point. Tiebreakers for the lynch are resolved by 1) the most infraction points, 2) the most recent infraction point, and 3) the earliest in the player list. No Lynch is not considered in any tie-break situation.

Days will last three weekdays, and Night one weekday. Weekends are not counted toward Day or Night duration, but are simply bonus playtime. Players may also vote for Filibuster (to extend the Day by one weekday) or Hammer (to end the Day early). Days and Nights will end at noon California time.

Players may post whenever and whatever they wish without restrictions, except that links to outside this game and pictures are forbidden. All game communications are restricted to this forum, unless explicitly permitted otherwise. A violation of these rules will result in an infraction point. At the discretion of the moderator, infraction points may result in the mod-kill of the player, which will result in that player losing the game.

We can use from 12 to 21 players. There will be no substitutions, only mod-kills, so please do not sign up if you cannot dedicate a minimal amount of effort.

Any questions concerning the rules may be asked in this thread until the game has started. After the game has started the moderator will only answer questions received by private message.

Here are some terms that I use in this game.

Alignment: a descriptive trait from D&D, which is not the same as side.
Another player: a living player who is not you.
Any player: a living player, possibly yourself.
Block: prevent a player from using powers.
Investigate: learn something about a player (role, side, alignment, powers, watching, tracking, etc.).
Kill: eliminate a player from the game.
Power: an ability with some effect that a player may use under certain conditions.
Protect: prevent powers from affecting a player.
Redirect: change who a power affects.
Role: a descriptive name of a player's role.
Side: the team a player is on.
Track: learn who a player targeted.
Watch: learn who targeted a player.

Socks need to have 10? posts before they can do private messages. Feel free to spam in here to do so.

Also, this is a the place to ask questions until the game starts, even if you're not a sock.

I might end up calling you Dragon, that's to long a name to write out all the time.
