[PLAY TIME] BULLET BALLOT MAFIA

author=Liberty
Yeah, sorry fearful, but for that edit your ballot is rendered null and void for tonight's ballot count (tomorrow's will still work, as long as you don't break any of the other rules. Refer to this post for more rules that you might have missed: http://rpgmaker.net/forums/topics/20624/?post=726784#post726784 ).

I know there's a good amount of new people in the thread, which is why I've got a lessened punishment for rule breaking first, but keep in mind that the rules are there for reasons.

The edit rule exists because mafia is a game where what people say really counts against them. Ideally you will be quoting each other, digging up inconsistencies in arguments and referring back to older posts. If people can edit their posts then you can't trust that what was quoted is really what was said - otherwise people would go back and edit out little slip ups. Half the fun is digging out inconsistencies and using them to undermine each others' arguments in order to either find the truth or obscure it, depending on which team you are on. This is the main reason why talking really helps town out - by talking people get a feel for each other and can refer back to past posts in order to see who is lying, who is acting weird or who is being detrimental to the team.

Sometimes it is not as simple as 'this person is acting scummy' (the term scum refers to anyone who would be against town - it's a catch-all name for all non-town people, not meant as an insult). Sometimes a person might be lynched because they're obscuring the issue or causing trouble for town, even if they are town (basically, the reason Kloe was killed in the RP game was because she was more of a hindrance to town than a help).

So you need to try and talk, but also keep your cards to your chest a bit, but also weed out the mafia, but also try not to incriminate yourselves whilst serving your interests as best as you can.

Good luck~ :DDD

The only person allowed to edit their posts in this thread is me. ;p
