Due to lack of Anyone Else Stepping Up, I'm jumping the queue.
Free! Mafia now taking sign-ups!Free! Mafia is based around the anime "Free!", where four boys frequently strip down and play around in the water. Occasionally these boys achieve things like winning swimming competitions, but for the most part they just want to deepen their bonds and swim freely around the pool. Swimming is, to them, a way to escape the dolour of everyday life.
Free! Mafia relies on the anime for its theme, but knowledge of the anime is not required to "get" the setup. Roles and characters aren't linked, nor are characters and alignments or roles and alignments. I'll do my darndest to make the flavour seem like it was Written Just For You, though! Although I wrote the current roles for specific characters, I'll allow people to select their own character. Any Free! character may be picked, so long as they actively swim in the anime!
This setup has 6 Town players and 2 Scum players, and follows all conventional mechanics of the gameplay. In addition, there are these inviolable rules:
1. Toxicity is expressly forbidden. While toxicity is broad, it generally means any attitude or behaviour that is designed at negatively impacting another person's enjoyment of the game. If it violates the spirit of sportsmanship, it's likely a violation of the No Toxicity rule. You're allowed to lie, cheat and deceive your peers as much as you like, so long as you're not actively trying to keep them from enjoying the game. Violation of this rule results in immediate removal from the game, whereupon the Day will end if you were Scum (without a lynch), or continue with votes wiped if you're Town (and possible time extension in the case of Deadline Geebers). Moreover, you will be reported to forum administration for inappropriate behaviour.
2. Role PMs may never be publicised. Scum may freely share their role PM with each other without issue, but other players are expressly forbidden from quoting any or all part(s) of their role PM. Paraphrasing is permitted, just don't quote.
3. The dead can neither communicate nor rise. In my previous game, the dead were too strong. This game, I guarantee that any player eliminated through game mechanics will permanently and unequivocally be removed from the game. No roles function after dying, and no roles permit the dead to influence the game in any way, shape or form.
4. There is no compulsory element. Day Phases may end without lynch an infinite number of times.
##NoLynch is a valid option and will be passed if Hammered. Night Phases may end without Scum performing the Night Kill. There will be no indication if Scum declines the Night Kill.
5. All role information is given complete, meaning there are no hidden elements to anyone's role. Additionally, no roles have dependencies on other roles. There exist no roles that detect alignment or your role. Outside of Lynch and Night Kill, there exist no roles that can eliminate you from the game. There exist no roles that prevent your action from succeeding.
Note: there may be roles that prevent you from using your ability in the first place. However, if you are stopped from activating your role, it will be announced publicly in the thread.6. There are multiple power roles, but not everyone is guaranteed to have a power role. There is guaranteed to be vanillas in the game. It is guaranteed that at least two players will be vanilla. At most eight players will be vanilla.
7. There are six Town players and two Scum players. There exist no third parties. All Town players win by eliminating all Scum players, or forcing them to surrender. All Scum players win by eliminating all Town players, or nothing can prevent them from doing so, or forcing Town to surrender. There are no roles that are designed to cause a surrender. If a role unintentionally can be used to force a surrender, it will be modified to disallow such use.
The following rules may be ignored through role actions, game mechanics or other events. Unless otherwise noted, they still apply:
1. There is no talking during the Night, except in any mod-sanctioned QTs.
2. Each Day Phase lasts 72 hours, but they will end early if a hammer occurs or it is otherwise ended prematurely. If a Day Phase ends without a hammer, No Lynch will be defaulted.
Each Night Phase lasts 24 hours, and there exist no mechanics to end it prematurely. There may be phases that are neither a Day nor a Night Phase.
3. Rules do not inhibit you from employing specific strategies, which is to mean that you do not need to meet any posting requirements. There are no requirements to post length, post content or post frequency. There is no consequence for refusing to post for an entire Day Phase or, in fact, the entire game.
4. It is expressly forbidden to quote private mod communications, though again you are allowed to paraphrase. There may be roles that expressly permit people to quote (parts of) the mod's private communication.
5. Each Day Phase has its own unique mechanic, which alters the way the game is played.

Spectating:

At this time, hydras are not allowed. Also at this time, there are no considerations to increase the size of the game. There will not be any substitutions. Spectators may /in for spectating specifically, and they will receive a special QT (shared with dead players) where they can discuss the game, theorise and whatnot. Inviolable Rule #1 applies to the spectator QT, failure to comply will result in a report to forum administration for inappropriate behaviour.
