I was at the top of the mod queue before the current game, but ten players was non-negotiable for Culture and it seemed unlikely that I would get that many signups any time soon, so I let Mag1c run K-Pop Demon Hunters ahead of me to get the Mafia ball rolling again after about a month of inactivity. The Culture Mafia thread is still up, and I'm not sure how management is supposed to handle that, but I suppose I can hope that getting ten signups is viable by my next turn in the mod queue.
This setup is based on the 2011 anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and does not include lore from movies that are not recuts of the show.
I need seven players, but eight is fine too.
Rules
Standard rules apply:
- Do not copy-paste from your role PM. Do not post anything that looks like it was copy-pasted from a role PM. This rule does not apply to quoting one or a few words to convey basic information, e.g., your role and character. The reasonable person test applies. If you are not sure whether or not you paraphrased enough, ask me. Do not use generative AI, e.g., ChatGPT, to paraphrase your PM.
- Do not edit or delete messages.
- Do not post or like posts while dead.
- Until the game is over, do not discuss it outside the approved channels, i.e., the day thread, moderator PMs, and faction chats.
- Do not use cryptography or otherwise post anything in the day thread with the intention of obscuring it so that only specific player(s) can read it.
- Be as bitchy as you want unless and until someone asks me to cool things down.
- I reserve the right to add commonplace or common-sense rules at any time.
Mod notes
- As usual on here, days will be 72 hours maximum and nights will be 24 hours maximum, but phases might end early.
- I prefer to do mod communications through Discord, but DebateCraft messages work too. Please make sure I have you added as a friend on Discord. If needed, send me your Discord friend tag through a DebateCraft message.
- Setting your Discord status to invisible is strongly encouraged.
- All roles will be assigned randomly using random.org. If there are game mechanics which require randomness, random.org will supply it. It should go without saying that roles are assigned randomly, but I might as well say it, if only to set a standard for others.
- Scum have been provided with fake-claims and/or information to help them concoct fake-claims. There may be anti-claim mechanics.
- There may be at least one role with a hidden ability. Your role card will mention it if you have one. Hidden abilities will be revealed with your role flip and may appear in results of investigative abilities.
- Ask questions about how roles work through Discord or DebateCraft messages, as I will not answer such questions posted publicly. I will only answer questions about your own role, your scum partner's role if you are scum, or flipped roles. I will try to answer questions about how hypothetical roles would interact with roles in those three categories. You are implored to ask questions. The worst response I can give is that I cannot answer your question, which is not meant to dissuade you from asking more questions.
- Town win when all threats to town have been eliminated. Mafia win at scum parity, i.e., when there are at least as many scum alive as non-scum. If there are neutrals, they have their own win conditions.
