Welcome to A Song of Ice and Fire Mafia - The prologue chapter. Please read rules carefully (especially #1) and abide to them.[spoiler=Rules of the Game]Rules:
1.That odd guy with a 9 in his name and who likes to command is always right. Same goes for the aage, he's mental. Do not try and argue with us. Since we are both modding, send all of your actions/questions/concerns to both of us - otherwise it may not be counted. However,we are human and we can make mistakes (I know, shocking, right?). If that happens, we will try and fix any mistake we may have made.
2. Do not edit/delete previous posts. Whatever you say goes into historical record.
3. Do not quote any PM's you receive from the moderator or another player. You may say your name, role, associated abilities. Do *not* claim your victory conditions. This is a serious offence and could earn you a mod-kill, and/or a blacklist from future games.
4. The game will not be discussed outside this thread, unless your role specifically says you can.
5. All ‘votes’ and ‘unvotes’ must be in
coloured. If they are not, they will not be tallied. (I.E.
Vote: Commander9). You must first unvote and then vote to change your vote from someone.
6. Lynching requires a majority of the town vote, once the majority has been reached any unvotes will not be counted. The majority is half the player's alive +1.
7. You may vote ‘no lynch’ to end the day without a death.
8. Days are going to continue for around 2 weeks or until someone is lynched. Subject to change.
9. Night usually lasts from 48 to 72 hours or until all actions are in. Subject to change.
10. Once your death scene has been posted, it's over for you. You can no longer post anything related to the game. Whining is alright, **Voices from beyond the grave** are alright, as long as nothing of substance is revealed. This means you can post something like "Damn you mafia!" or "Oh well. Go town!" but you cannot post and add to the discussion. This is a serious offence.
11. Be attentive and active in the game. You will be replaced if you don't post. If something prevents you to participate for a long period of time, announce it here or via PM. Help everyone's enjoyment of the game by being active and sending your actions promptly.
12. You cannot talk at night. You can do joke votes like "zzzzzz" if you want but don't let it get out of hand.
13. If you have any questions or doubts, send a private message to me and ask for help. It would be much worse to remain unsure about your role, mafia rules, whatever than to ask the moderator and then understand
14. This is a role-playing game and I fully expect you to play your role. Have fun to everyone.
Rule 16. THERE IS NO RULE 15. Nor 17.
18. ????????????
19. PROFIT!!!!!!
34. No exceptions.[/spoiler]
Scoring system is this:a) Once one player achieves a greater or greatest victory (assuming it's not just survival and it's not fulfilled at the start), the game ends and the victories are counted.
b) Victory points are assigned according to the difficulty of achieving them (often exclusionary with one another):
- Greatest victory gives 3 points
- Greater victory gives 1.5 point
- Lesser victory gives a point
- Partial victory gives 0.75 point
- Some bonus points may be given for additional conditions
c) The game is over once someone reaches either a greater or the greatest victory assuming it wasn't satisfied at the beginning.
d) The total tally will go on through the series with winner having most points after the series end. The table will be kept and up at all times.
Frequently asked questions:Will this be official? Are there any prizes?
At the moment it is unknown, but it's likely that there will be announced winners and mafia prizes for the winners of the whole series. Basically, check this space.
Will all of the games in the series have the same concepts and gameplay?
No - the gameplay and functionality will vary from one game to another. There will be the regular mafia games (that have somewhat clear town and mafia), faction v faction games and various other types that you may or may not expect. The only thing you can be sure of that there will be bloodbaths, backstabs, deaths... Did I mention bloodbaths?
Are you the main mod? Is it okay if I just send the questions and actions to just you?
No, both me and aage are co-mods, so what goes to one also has to go the other. If you don't send the action to both, it may not be counted. If you have questions or concerns, PM us. If you are unhappy about something, leave it until after the game is over and then bring it up.
The claiming in this game works just like in every other one, right?
No. Well, not quite - you are allowed to claim just like you would do so in a regular game: you can paraphrase your role, abilities, alignments, etc. as long as you do not quote. However, there is one major change - you may not directly state your victory conditions. If you are not sure what you can claim, PM me (Commander9) and aage.

I do like the books, because they mimic reality. People act in their own self-interest. People back-stab. Being "nice" gets you killed. Great series. I just wonder what happens when HBO catches up to the last book and still wants to go on. Does he just write the show first, then books? That seems wrong...
Someone forgot to inform me of that.
