[Official] Choose Your Own Mafia - TOWN WINS

[Marashu]

This will be an open set-up game where you will get to choose your roles! Well, sort of. Power roles will be chosen by draft. If your role is still available when your turn in the draft comes up, great! If not, you will be a vanilla role.

THE SET-UP (Updated Sept 14)
- 10 town
-2 mafia A
-2 mafia B
-1 serial killer

You will receive your alignment PM when the draft order is revealed. Mafia and SK will choose roles as well - they may use any night actions from their roles in addition to their normal faction kill. You will have 48 hours to PM me with your desired role. Mafia will be allowed to speak with their teammates during this time. When the 48 hour period is over, I will send role PMs and Day 1 will begin.

THE DRAFT
When you sign up, you must PM the moderator (me) two numbers between 1 and 15 in the format (x,y). The lowest first number that is not repeated will have first pick of power roles. The next lowest first number that does not repeat get next pick, and so on until all of the non-repeating first numbers are assigned draft order. After that, the next pick will be the lowest number that was chosen by 2 players, with the lowest second number picking first. This pattern will continue for all first numbers chosen by 3 players, 4 players, etc. In the event of a tie where both players pick 2 identical numbers, they will be bumped to the end of the list, and the player to pick first will be determined at random. In the event of multiple ties, the lower-number ties will go before the higher-number ties.

THE ROLES

THE RULES
1. The moderator (Marashu) is always right. If I've made a mistake, I will do what I can to fix it. I don't mind if you point out a mistake, but my word one way or the other is final.

2. You may not edit or delete previous posts. Once submitted, your words stand.

3. You may not quote or allude to the wording of any PMs from the moderator. You may disclose the contents of your role PM (role, alignment, etc), but do so in your own words.

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 bold, coloured red.(I.E. Vote: Bugs Bunny). If they are not, I will assume it is a joke vote and skip over it. Unvoting before voting again is helpful but not necessary.

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 players alive (round down) +1.
6a. Lack of majority will result in a no-lynch.

7. You may vote ‘no lynch’ to end the day without a death.

8. Days will last 7-10 days, dependant on players remaining (D1 will be 10 days).

9. Lengths of nights will be approximately 48 hours from the time the scene is posted. If you have a night action and do not plan on using it, please let me know by sending me a "No action" PM. I will not be hunting you down, so if I don't get a PM from you by the end of the night, I'm going to assume no action.

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" are alright, as long as nothing of substance is revealed. This means you can post something like "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 or modkilled 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 may not self-vote. If you wish to leave the game, contact the moderator.

13. You cannot post at night. You can do joke votes like "zzzzzz" if you want but don't let it get out of hand.

14. If you have any questions or doubts, send a private message to the moderator and ask for help. If something is unclear, I would rather have too much communication over not enough.

15. I will be doing daily vote counts. Monday-Friday they will be at 6AM EDT. Vote counts will be later in the morning during the weekend or on holidays.

16. Have fun!

THE PRIZES
1) All players on the winning team will be awarded a General Achievement medal.
2) One player will be awarded an MVP prize of 3500 credits. Anyone on the winning team will be eligible, and will be decided by a vote. In the unlikely case of a tie, the 3500 credit reward will be divided among the tying teams, to be given to a voted MVP for each team.
3) Up to three players will be awarded a Mod's Choice prize of 500-1500 credits, to be divided as I feel they are warranted. These will be awarded to players who keep the game moving, encourage discussion, help their team (in the case of everyone who is not an SK), and maintains a positive attitude in the context of the game (I'm not expecting puppies and rainbows in a mafia game).

Also note that I will not be able to update the OP from Aug 15-23 for reasons of wedding/honeymoon. The earliest the game can start is after that, but I can answer questions and fill in the sign-ups until then.

Just got back from my own honeymoon. I'll add you as a reserve, and if the game has not started by the 8th, I can bump you in to the list.

Updating the OP now - there is a good chance this will be the official game for September, so I am going to add details about that in the OP as well. Please take a moment to review it.
