When you're jumping in and out of the time stream, it's hard to find time for mafia ya know?

Spoiler :

aka, sorry for disappearing and reappearing on whims, but I'm good to go for this game

 

[Visorslash]

Welcome back remake.

 

[Al Sipsclar]

I've been lurking in here for some time. A big game with lots of new and old players - looks like a perfect moment to start playing.
Having played anywhere so far, the first time, please be gentle.

Make sure you check out this thread. The guy who made it desperately wants it to be useful.

Welcome back remake.

Why, thank you.

 

[Arakhor]

So, what did you do, Visor? Sprinkle cocaine on the sign-up PMs?

 

[Visorslash]

Well everybody seems to like Red Dwarf!

I posted in the Pub on GiTP, and I guess people liked the idea. We share a few players so cross contamination overs are reasonably common/likely.

Red Dwarf Mafia: The Smeggening​

Welcome to Red Dwarf Mafia. The Boys from the Dwarf have located a large abandoned spaceship called EDEN. They get more than they bargained for when they enter however…

What to expect:
• Characters from all over the Red Dwarf Universe (and plenty of references)
• Mostly non vanilla. Most characters will have some way of doing or affecting something.
• There may or may not be a cult, or extra scum teams, or independents, or third parties. I wouldn’t want to spoil the game for you just yet.
• There are a few items in the game which may have peculiar effects.
• Investigations are not 100% effective. They are useful, but not infallible.
• Private Communication is available, but limited.
• The Alignment and Role of a player will be revealed upon their death.
• Attempts at humour.

Rules:
1. Do not quote anything I say to you in private. This includes night results, role PM, general conversation, cricket scores, the weather in Bristol and the colour of my car.
2. You can only send 1 PM per day to players who you do not have direct contact with. People in sanctioned quick topics can talk as much as they like to each other. Please copy me into every PM you send and quicktopics.
3. You may quote PMs from other players, but no screenshots or anything like that.
4. If you don’t send in a night order, it will not be randomised. You may send in orders ahead of time if you are busy.
5. If you’re dead you may post in thread ONLY if it has zero game related content. Feel free to make snarky comments, curse the name of the people who killed you, or that sort of thing. You may also be invited to a dead QT to discuss the game with the other unfortunate souls.
6. Each day you may choose to lynch one player. No Lynch and Abstain are acceptable votes. There is no majority or hammer this game. The day phase is 48 hours and the night phase will be 24 hours long.
7. If there is a tie at days end, there will be a tiebreaker round afterwards until there is a clear winner. If there is no clear winner by 20 minutes after the deadline, I will randomise.
8. Don’t edit your posts please. I won’t count edited posts that have votes in them.
9. I will WoG/replace if necessary. Please stay active/try not to break the rules, I am a lenient host but I won’t bend that much.
10. If you have any questions about public mechanics ask in the thread in bold green text.
11. You will vote for players you want lynched during the day, using the format, Vote: Visorslash. Votes must be in bold to count. You do not need to add a Vote: tag, just bolding the name will suffice. I will take your final vote as the last one. If you wish to unvote, simply: Unvote; Vote: ATPG.
12. Have fun.

Let me know if you think I'm missing anything. I'll post a sample role PM soon.

Thanks to Zack for having such nice and easy to steal rules.

That one-PM rule is probably a wise precaution against me roleplaying Talkie Toaster and spamming everyone with relentless and increasingly aggressive offers of hot bread products.

 

[robbiecon]

I'm looking forward to this. And I'll start watching some Red Dwarf as well now. Only ever seen a few episodes.

 

[Visorslash]

We don't like muffins 'round here! We want no muffins, no toast, no tea cakes, no buns, baps, baguettes, or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes, and no hot cross buns, and definetely, no smeggin' flapjacks!

 

[Visorslash]

For reference the game will start at the latest on the 30th. If I hit the cap it will start 24 hours after that.

 

[Winston Hughes]

If I hit the cap

Is this a euphemism for 'if I get so toasted that I can't think straight'?

 

[Arakhor]

I'm amused that you didn't embolden your voting example, despite saying that that was mandatory.

 

[Xym]

Ohey.

Hey!

And sometimes both.

At the same time?!

Aaaah, so you're a waffle man!

 

[Snerk]

You'll soon be running out of Red Dwarf characters at this rate.
