WIZARD OF OZ Mafia Game Thread

[SMC]

The Great Wizard is the despot of the fantastical Land of Oz, but it is the Wicked Witches of the East and West who rule.

Yet a great calamity has befallen the Wicked sisters and disrupted the lives of every Ozite.

Held aloft by a tornado, a wooden house from a far off land spun through the air and crushed the Wicked Witch of the East when it finally crash-landed.

Inside was a strange creature known as Dorothy Gale, and her nosy pet Toto.

This sinister child has stolen the Wicked Witch of the East

Roles will be sent out via PM shortly.

After that is done I will open up the game.

Mods - Please sticky. Thanks

RULES:

Absolutely NO out-of-thread communications may be either entirely or partially quoted, screen-capped or in any other way directly provided within the game thread (summaries of PMs for purposes of role reveals is allowed, however).

Similarly, You may not reveal the name you were provided with, not even a hint in the slightest degree.

We all know what the spirit of the game is, and we all know when certain actions, even if not expressly forbidden, fall outside of the spirit of the game. For purposes of this game, I have commissioner of baseball like powers to sanction conduct that violates the spirit of the game, even if not expressly forbidden, up to and including modkilling the player and lying in their role reveal. If you have any question at all whether something you plan to do crosses the line, ask me first. This is your one and only warning.

Format: We will be running a normal mafia format with lynches during the day and night actions during the night. Days will run for ***48 hours*** or until a majority is reached (unvoting after a majority will not count) - but Day 1 will not have a deadline unless there is a need for it. Night will end in 24 hours or when I receive all night actions – so if you have a night action available but choose not to use it, please PM me to tell me “no Night Action”. The clock WILL run on the weekend, unless I decide to toll the clock. [sECTION REVISED]

Phase: A phase is either Day or Night (in most cases), where Days usually involved voting for lynches and Nights usually involve submitting night actions, such as Night Kills.

Cycle: A complete Day and Night cycle, like Day 1 and Night 1 together make up a complete cycle. Some powers last for a complete cycle while others only for that particular phase.

Actions: Night actions will occur instantly, unless otherwise specified. This means that two people night-killing each other will both die (unless one is saved somehow) . Any action not submitted by the deadline will be forfeit for that phase and I will only accept the first action submitted. Once you send in your action, that’s it! (No take backs!) So be sure of your decision! I'm here to talk it through if you need help. I will keep the Night phases open until deadline unless I receive all potential actions available for that phase, but will close the Day when a majority has been reached even if people have unused Day Actions. If you do not wish to use your action during a particular phase, please send me a PM stating that your intention to not use it so that I can cross you off the list.

Night Actions: These are actions that can only be submitted during the night phase. Most night actions should specifically state that it can only be used each night, but if you have any questions about this, please contact me immediately.

Communication: You are not allowed to communicate about this game to anyone outside this game thread, unless specifically authorized.

Inactivity: There is no official penalty for inactivity; however, any good mafia player knows that the less active the player, the more likely they are to be the next on the chopping block. So do your part to participate, you will not regret it. If you drop off entirely, or need to, let me know and I will try to replace you if at all possible. Some of you I have already spoken with about this, so if you suddenly find yourself unable to keep up, simply notify me and we can work something out.

Dead Player Posts: FORBIDDEN! If your player dies, you get one death reaction post that cannot contain any game information other than an ACK! I DIED!!! GO INNOCENTS or something.

Editing Posts: Absolutely Forbidden. If you want to change something you said, quote yourself and correct it – but this is like high school. Once you post something on the thread, it goes on your permanent record.

Quoting the Mod/Revealing Mod Pics: You may not quote anything I say in PM. You can paraphrase all you like – or lie about it, of course – but you may not post a “quote” from me in an attempt to prove your bona fides

Invisibility: It is not a requirement, but is to your advantage to use invisible mode.

We all know what the spirit of the game is, and we all know when certain actions, even if not expressly forbidden, fall outside of the spirit of the game. For purposes of this game, I have commissioner of baseball like powers to sanction conduct that violates the spirit of the game, even if not expressly forbidden, up to and including modkilling the player and lying in their role reveal. If you have any question at all whether something you plan to do crosses the line, ask me first. This is your one and only warning.

Thank you!

Checking in and not believing she's one of the first to do so.

O HAI.

[SMC]

MOD NOTES:

--I try to keep the flavor to a minimum, so to the best of my ability everything I've written in the Game Setup and the Role PMs has game meaning.

--I like to have the game decided on the board, so ModKilling is a last resort. We all are veterans here and we know how to play, so have fun.

--Remember, NO hinting at character names. This is a must

--Everything you need to know about the game will be in-game, either on thread or in the Role PMs. In other words, you don't need to know the source material in order for your side to be victorious.

Vote: Pac for jumping the gun, and for not spelling WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwombat with enough W's.

[Bleedin Green]

About time this thing gets going. Of course that's now that I've got work to do, not this morning when I was bored out of my mind.

[Jets Voice of Reason]

Vote: Pac for jumping the gun, and for not spelling WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwombat with enough W's.

If pac was not jumping the gun i would be worried.

vote: AVM

cause I always thinks he's guilty... like every game.

[Vicious89x]

Vote: Lily

Because she seems to not be able to stop talking about how she always stays alive the longest.

[slats]

Vote: I-20-ape

That flying monkey is in my head!

[Bleedin Green]

Of course the person I want to vote for out of the gate is the bastard who killed me last game, unfortunately he also happens to be the mod. So in the meantime Vote: CTM, just because I miss the old days when people used to lynch him just because of who he was.

[Jets Voice of Reason]

A side note i really hope hess plays. The theme was his original brain child and he really wanted to play in it. Hope things are going ok for him personally.

If ctm got hit by a bus i'd be really sad And everything but it would still be deliciously ironic.

Nice vote actually... my initial instinct has him pegged as Toto.

If the traits of the lion, scarecrow and tinman could be combined into 1 heartless, brainless coward, it'd be you

He's my new favorite. But I might change my mind. Not sure yet but he's good for now.

That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.
