#popMAFIA | So don’t let this be our final song

#popFLUFF is brought to you by Lone_Prodigy. Mostly.

In a newsroom, a sharply-dressed and ridiculously attractive man sits at a desk, rehearsing his lines.

"Live from New York, it's Saturday Night-"

"It's Monday," someone interrupted.

"Right. Live from New York, it's Monday-"

"We're not in New York."

"Live from Washington-"

"We're not live."

"Well I'm sure glad we aren't, considering how many times I've been interrupted", the man snaps.

"Sorry," his assistant mutters. He steps back into the shadows as the camera starts to roll.

"This is PNN. I'm your host, LP, bringing you the latest on Inauguration Day. The sun is out, the birds aren't chirping because it's January, and everyone is eager to usher in a new era of politics. Let's take you live to our worst reporter, cabot."

A rather plain-looking man stands near the Capitol. "Thanks LP, you're the worst. Well it's an enormous crowd here and it seems that anyone who's anyone has come to take in the occasion. PNN will of course will bring you all the juicy gossip that you will discuss at length with Janice at work because she subscribes to all those trashy celeb magazines that litter the reception area and makes your company look rather disreputable and unprofessional... where was I?"

LP sighs. "Celebrities?"

"Oh, right, yes. I caught a glimpse of Kelly Clarkson, and I think Adele is going to sing the national anthem later."

"She's not even American?"

"Neither am I, but it doesn't stop me from taking advantage of your loose liquor laws."

"Why did we hire you again?"

"My insatiable charm, my boyish good looks-"

LP sighs again. "Moving on. There appears to be a commotion going on behind you."

cabot turns. "Oh, will you look at that. Adele is being escorted away by security. Today will be full of surprises I tell you. Back to you, LP."

After a chuckle, cabot spoke again, "Oh sorry, gracious master LP. I was looking at the wrong person. It was actually world famous scottish pop star and caber tosser Haggis McDick that was escorted out. Heard him whimpering about some lost love. What a pussy!"

Haggis McDick has been ejected from the game!

Greetings! Welcome to #popMAFIA!

You are Haggis McDick.

You’ve got a colourful surname, which brought ridicule in high school. You struggle to cope with the past. You can’t see the horizon because your eyes are hazy from the constant drinking. It was different once. You were in love.

She could make you smile, but now you only have trauma. You take another swig. You cuddle your sofa. You put on a sad song and begin to weep. You wish it hadn’t ended up this way.

You don’t know how long you have left.

For inspiration, your Spotify page is HERE

You are aligned with TOWN.

You are an Ordinary Villager. You wield the most deadly of powers, those of discussion and voting.

The game thread is: HERE

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM cabot.

You win when you eliminate the SCUM team.

"Thanks for nothing, cabot. Keep it locked to PNN, the Pop News Network, for the latest from Inauguration Day."

Fundamental
1. All site-wide rules are also applicable here. Please do not tarnish this community.
2. Unless your Role PM explicitly allows you to do otherwise, discussion about this game is strictly confined to this thread.
3. Unless your role PM explicitly allows you to do otherwise, do not quote or posts screen-shots of any PMs or posts that were not made in this thread. Obviously this is a grey area, but please try and play sportingly.
4. Within reason, you are allowed to lie about any game material or game-related conversations that could conceivably have appeared outside this thread [such as the content of role PMs or private chats allowed by a role]. If unsure whether a lie is reasonable, please ask the game-runner.
5. Do not refer or discuss to player activity in other forum threads or life in general beyond the game.
6. The player list includes the preferred personal pronoun of each player. Please try to use the correct pronoun.
7. Please be nice to your fellow players. Mafia can be a tense experience, and occasionally aggressive play is useful, but remember this is game and that everyone should have fun.

Activity and Deadlines
8. Treat this game as a commitment. Remember that other players' fun is dependent on your participation; this game only works if you remain reasonably active.
9. If you do not post in this thread at least once per Day Phase period without prior permission, you will be sent a PM requesting you respond immediately (a "prod"). If you do not respond to a prod by the end of the following Night Phase, you will be replaced.
10. If you need an extended period of absence for some other issues in life, please notify the game-runner by PM in advance. Leave of up to one Day and Night Phase (five days) is possible.
11. If you expect to be unable to post for a period of 7 days, please notify the game-runner by PM so that you can be replaced in good time - we're sad to see you go, but other players need to be able to continue to play.
12. Each Day Phase will last 4 days. Day Phases officially begin when the game-runner notifies players in the game thread, and end exactly 96 hours later (by NeoGAF post time-stamps).
13. Each Night phase will last 3 days. Night Phases officially begin when the game-runner notifies players in the game thread, and end exactly 72 hours later (by NeoGAF post time-stamps).
14. If a Phase ends and the game-runner has not received an action PM from a player with a relevant action, then that Phase will end with that that player making no action.
15. In the event of a day ending with no player having a plurality of the votes, then the game will proceed to the next night phase with nobody lynched ("no-lynch").
16. If a replacement is needed, they may PM the game-runner once to request the Night Phase in which they join is extended by up to 2 days, to allow catch-up time.
17. Game-runners may change the length of Phases at their discretion. However, they will inform players at the start of the equivalent Phase before (i.e., if Day 7 is set to be shortened, players will be no later than the start of Day 6).

Voting, Lynching, and Death
18. For your vote to count, it must be presented in the following format: VOTE: playername, via use of the highlight tag. It must also be in an entirely separate line from any other text.
19. To remove a vote from a player, you must present in the following format: UNVOTE: playername, via use of the highlight tag. It must also be in an entirely separate line from any other text. It is not necessary to unvote before casting new vote for a different player; unvoting is simply to remove a vote without casting a new one.
20. Players may use VOTE: No Lynch to end the Day Phase without a lynch ("No Lynch"). It must also be in an entirely separate line from any other text.
21. Misspelt votes will be accepted within reason; if the game-runner is unsure they will notify you and in the meanwhile discount the vote. Votes in broken tags will not count.
22. Once someone has received a strict majority (>50%) of the available votes, the day ends with the Lynch of that player or a No Lynch (whichever applies). Once this has happened, any further votes or unvotes that Phase will not be counted, and the Night Phase will begin shortly.
23. Some roles take place between the end of the Day Phase and the start of the Night Phase, so game-runners may allow a short period of time for this "Twilight Phase". Unless your role PM explicitly allows you to do otherwise, do not post during the Twilight Phase.
24. Once you are dead, you are dead: you may no longer discuss the game in ANY manner with ANY of the remaining players. Dead players may PM the game-runner one last message for the other players (a "Will"), which the game-runner will post on their behalf in the thread. The sole condition is that it contains NO game-relevant information, e.g. "Thanks guys for an excellent game!" is allowed, "My partner was John!" is not.

The Dead Thread
25. To allow dead players to freely discuss the game with other dead players, a secret thread will be created.
26. On death, a player can either opt to join the replacement list, or receive a link to the Dead Thread. They may not do both. If a player opted to join the replacement list, they may change their mind, but players who have a link to the Dead Thread cannot act as replacements.
27. The Dead Thread will also be made available to non-players, provided they have played in at least one GAF mafia game before in which they did not go inactive. These non-players will also be disbarred from the replacement list.

Other
28. Outside of votes and explicit allowances made by role PMs, the use of the highlight tag is strictly the game-runner's prerogative. Do not use it.
29. You may not put any active players in this game on your ignore list. If you have an active player on your ignore list, please remove them. Obviously this is on the honor system, but please don't do it, or joke about doing it.
30. Do not edit your posts. If you are a repeat offender, a replacement will be sought.
31. Do not use the email tags to hide extra content in your posts.
32. A list of the votes so far (a "Vote Count") can be requested by contacting any game-runner or game-tutor.
33. Game-runners reserve the right to add, remove, or modify existing any rules at any point, and enforcement may be applied retroactively. However, all players will be informed of changes, and changes will be consistent across games.
34. In general, do not try and exploit loop-holes in the rules.
35. Completed GAF games are often read by people thinking of signing up in the future. As such, please keep your avatar spoiler free - it should not allude to your role or alignment.
36. I will accept Night Actions up to one hour before the Day starts. Missing actions will be decided at Moderator’s discretion.

Game specific rules:
37. Any attempt at citing or referring to specific verbiage or vocabulary from a role PM in an attempt to fish for knowledge will result in a modkill. If you are worried that something you are thinking of posting will break this rule, feel free to PM cabot and ask.
38. GIF overuse is encouraged but not enforced.

I'm going to do my best to follow along here. What happens if I mess up or miss a day?

a day phase is 4 days long in real. so, if you think you will miss an entire day phase (4 real days), you should tell your gamerunners as early as you can

as for messing up, people will mess up :>

also, if you havent, please register at outergafia.com

and, have fun! remember, no matter how heated it gets, it's only a game!!!

Mess up: Some players might get a bit upset at you. But everyone makes mistakes. Both town and scum. Don't fret about it.

The major thing to remember is that you win with your faction unless otherwise stated in your role pm. Surviving is nice. Surviving to end game feels great. But don't play to survive. Play to advance the chances of your faction successfully winning the game.

Miss a day: Try and catch up if you can. But it isn't the end of the world. Unless you mean 4 IRL days.

Hi guys I'm ready for this game. It looks really sweet, and I hope I don't sour (blue raspberry) your experience.


Also as a really early heads up I may be absent a bit on November 20 since I'll probably be doing birthday things the majority of the day.

After managing to lock myself out of my account for several hours, and then panicking that it was lost forever and I wouldn't be able to play, I'M FINALLY HERE AGAIN!
