Welcome to another Blocktopia Mafia Adventure.
Our story starts in Venice, Italy. It's 1738, a time of turmoil in Europe - but also a time of the fine arts, especially with Venice being at the forefront of on of the oldest traditions: The famous masked ball, that goes on for a whole week.
For that one week (and sometimes longer) the whole city transforms into what some call a "madhouse" - everybody, from lowest scum to highest nobility is made equal: The masks transform everyone into whoever they want to be.
The masquerade of 1738 went down in history though not for having been the most lavish yet, but for a completely different reason...and you all have the chance to re-live this one single, extremely bloody, masquerade.
And since everybody hides behing their masks during daytime, things are going to get very interesting...

This is a closed setup game (!!!) That means you will not know which roles exist, and how many of each. I would say that 80% of roles are common and normal, with potentially roles that pertain to the specific setting that is outlined above. No role will have any unknown factor to it, that would make it fail on any role actions (e.g. an insane Doc, etc.). You should be aware of the potential roles that can come up during a game (from prior knowledge of playing Mafia), and still be open to the possibility of roles you have never heard of. There is no role that autowins if lynched or killed (No Fool / Jester).
This is a flavored game. You are encouraged to play as your character, but are not required to do full role play.
This is a complex game. You may only sign up if you have played at least 2-3 mafia games before (no matter if here, at Mafiascum, EpicMafia, etc).
This is a serious game. Please only sign up if you think you are able to reply to this thread frequently and with enough seriousness.
This is a fun game. At the end of the day, we all just want to have some fun.

Please read them before signing up. By signing up you agree that you read these rules.
Be respectful and polite.
- You can NOT edit posts. Make a double post instead. (Editing posts should be disabled in any case)
-You are not allowed to make last statements after you are dead.
- If you have not signed up to play mafia, do not post in the game thread.
- Do not rate posts (ex. Like, Dislike, Agree, Disagree) after you die in mafia. Rating posts instead of making posts while you are alive is discouraged as well, as the posts are the life of mafia.

Honesty and Cheating
• In all interactions with the moderator, you must be honest.
• Do not contact any player in or outside of the game about the game unless specifically allowed to by the moderator. When allowed, only do so in the specific manner allowed. You are free to talk to people about the game in a way of alerting them to new posts, etc., as long as you don’t talk about things happening.
• Do not attempt to access another player's information by technological means (such as hacking).
• Do nothing that would be considered cheating.
Gaming the System
• Do not quote your role PM, take a screen capture of it, etc. You may paraphrase the role PM.
• Do not attempt to analyze the mechanics of a role PM in comparison to other players. For example, "the fourth word of my role PM is town." Or "my PM was sent at 11:23, when was yours?"
• Do not attempt to use a system of robust cryptography, etc. Do not use small or invisible text to attempt to avoid detection.
• Actions that involve "bets" or other outside-the-game contrivances to try to confirm a player are prohibited. Examples include, but are not limited to, avatar bets, replacement bets, etc.
• At no time should there be pre-game alliances made.
Activity
• You are expected to be an active participant in your game. Do not flake.
• If you know you are going to be absent a particular amount of time, post in game and PM the moderator that you will be V/LA. Please include the date you plan to be back and posting.
Lynching
• Each player gets a single vote to use during the day that they may change as many times as they wish to vote for any player.
• When a majority of players are voting for an certain player, that player is "lynched" and removed from the game.
• Players may vote for "No Lynch." If at least half of the players vote for a "No Lynch," the day ends without a lynch.
Behavior
• No racist, homophobic, sexist, etc. language may be used.
• Harassment of an individual player is NOT permitted. It is the nature of the game that players will be antagonistic toward each other at times. However, it should always be kept in the spirit of a game.

Dead people are not allowed a last statement within the thread. But they can chat their hearts out in their secret "Dead People's Club".
Quick notes:
1. Please always use the PM I sent the role in to send me your night actions if you are a Power Role.
2. If you have a power role, you may skip using your ability by sending me a "none" in the role PM during the night.
3. If you fail to send me an action during the night, in case there is a deadline, the action will target a random person automatically.

Voting
Please follow the correct voting mechanism, otherwise I will have to modkill you out of the game:
In an extra line at the END of your post, using bold, vote like this:
vote <fullplayername>
The same goes for voting No Lynch. If you decide to change your vote or fully unvote, please make sure to also make that bold. Always unvote before voting for a new player, even if it is in the same post:
unvote
vote <fullplayername>
Abstaining is forbidden.
No-Lynch. A no-lynch will happen if 50% of players vote to not lynch.
Once a majority vote has been reached, no one may talk. The lynch will happen no matter if somebody unvotes in a post after the total amount of votes for a lynch was already reached. The host will write a confirmation post, and then prepare the transition from day to night.
The thread will be locked during night time.
