This game is Marvel Heroes Mafia. It is a mish-mash game meaning that there will be multiple sub games layered over the basic game of mafia. Please see game specific rules below for more detail. The alignments will be denoted by standard mafia terms (town/mafia/neutral) due to the fact that all costumes in this game are heroes pulled from either the MCU or Ultimate universe.

Day/Night Phase: 48 hours/24 hours. Any changes will be announced one phase prior to the change taking effect.

It was finally done. Reed Richards had completed the cosmic cube. He wasn't sure why he had been compelled to begin this project but it had been his every waking moment for the past year. The other three members of the fantastic four had long given up on trying to stop him and were not in the lab that day.

With the fascination over the cube still drawing his attention, he didn't hear the door to the lab door slide open or the weighty footsteps until it was too late. With a snap and a heavy thud, his body fell limp to the ground.

The purple hand reached down to pick up the cube and as the familiar power coursed through him once more, small blue tendrils began to radiate in all directions from the cube.

"Soon, another planet will join the Endless Resurgence."

Reed Richards has died

Rules:

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, you can not directly quote or post screenshots of any PMs or posts that were not made in this thread. This includes direct quotes or screenshots of Role PMs. A violation of this rule may result in a Modkill.

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 to or discuss other player’s activity in other forum threads or life in general beyond the game. Please do not use this information for in-game purposes.
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. Repeated aggressive action will be warned by a Mod and if that is ignored may result in a Modkill or a Replacement Player being sought.

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. ***Activity will not be measured in this game. Due to the nature of the game, it will be up to the player's to moderate activity.
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 (three days) is possible.
11. If you expect to be unable to post for a period of 3 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. 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 unless otherwise notified.
13. 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").
14. 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.
15. 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. Unless specified by the game-runner, any votes outside of this formatting will not be counted. This includes changes in Size, Color, or Font Family.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. 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.
23. 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.***Majority rules will not take effect until all scheduled ITA phases have been completed for a day phase.
24. 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.
25. 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 Spectator Thread
26. To allow dead players to freely discuss the game with other dead players, a secret thread will be created.
27. On death, a player can either opt to join the replacement list, or receive a link to the Spectator 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 Spectator Thread cannot act as replacements.

Other
28. Outside of votes and explicit allowances made by role PMs, the use of the Highlight Tag is strictly for Gamerunners. Do not use it.
29. Be aware that some people may find some font color/size changes very difficult to read. If you choose to use a different font size or color than the default, be ready to change it if someone requests it.
30. Do not edit your posts. If you are a repeat offender, a replacement will be sought.
31. Do not use formatting to hide extra content in your text.
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 retrospectively. However, all players will be informed of changes, and changes will be consistent across games.
34. In general, do not try and exploit loopholes in the rules.

Game Specific Rules:

Flavor:

All of the flavor in this game does not matter in the least for identifying role or alignment. The role list was created independent of all characters and then all of the characters I chose were put into a RNG and assigned to a role based on the results. I also purposely chose all heros (or anti-heros) so that no one would try to glean anything weird about a bad guy definitely being scum or anything like that. Your flavor names matter so little that I reserve the right to publicly use your role name in my flavor if it suits a certain story beat.

Changes to General Rules:

Rule 9 has been changed. I'm not enforcing post minimums in this game. With 50 of you, there will be plenty of content to parse through already and you all have tools to handle inactivity if it's bothering you that much with the ITA mechanic. Be responsible and don't take advantage of no post minimums, I still reserve the right to step in if it looks like the intent is malicious.

Rule 23 has been changed. As noted below, the times for ITAs will be announced at day start. The vote cannot end via majority until all scheduled ITA phases have completed for the day. After the final ITA phase ends, if majority is currently hit, the thread will have a one hour grace period. If the majority is reversed during the hour then the day continues, if the majority remains then the day will end.

In-Thread Attack (ITA) Mechanics:

Starting on day 2, the game day opening post will include information on when ITAs will be open for that day phase. I'll provide an hour time frame to keep an eye out for but the actual ITA window will be open for 30 minutes at a time. Each day phase will have three ITA windows.

Each day phase with an ITA will give every single player in the game a single public vigilante shot. The shot can only be used during the windows mentioned above. You may participate in any ITA window but remember, you only have one shot for the entire day phase whether it hits or misses. You will make your shot by posting the highlighted name of who you want to attempt to kill. No special command is necessary so have fun with it and SLAP: cabot like I do (just don't use the VOTE command, that will still count as a valid vote during this time).

Shots will be resolved in order and I will attempt to post whether shots failed or succeeded as quickly as I can. Role flips may be slightly delayed but whether the person died or not will be mostly instant. There will be no flavor for these deaths for anyone who cares, the flavor will be written into day end posts. The base chance to hit with an ITA is 15%.

Events:

This game will also have events sprinkled throughout. These are not publicly scheduled and can appear randomly at any time. Most events will be opt-in meaning I will announce that an event is starting soon and will give an estimated time until event completion as well as an engagement level of low, medium, or high (meaning how available and involved you will need to be for the event). After this post, you may use the command JOIN to sign on to the event and after a short time, sign-ups will close. If the event takes place outside of this game thread, you may not post in any other chats until the event is completed including this thread. Note that there may be some events that are not opt-in and could be forced on players.

Safe Time:

As a final note, no events or ITAs will take place during the first or last two hours of each day phase. In addition, players will not be able to use any private commands during these times that alter the player list in any way.

Ok, all of my posts have been updated, if you have any questions, you can feel free to ask them publicly here or in the resetera thread. Once role PMs go out tomorrow, I will not be answering any more questions publicly, you'll have to PM me or grab me on discord privately for any questions. PMs will go out through OM and please use OM throughout the duration of the game for any commands (pinging me on discord is also always ok if it's something urgent or time sensitive).

50 player cap and rebalancing last minute... smh

but what did I expect :p

Since they capped it at 50, there was actually no rebalancing. This game has been in it's current state for months now. :P
 
GG Sorian.
He just managed to trap 50 of us for a vanilla game that's gonna last 8 months minimum.

You heard it here first ladies and gentlemen.

Apollo

Apollo will wreck your goddamn face

(Also my name isn’t Apollo here because of reasons so we may need to adjust that on the player list)

I believe I mentioned it on ERA, but OM is blocked at work so it’s going to be interesting keeping up with the game during the day lol I’ll probably have to walk outside, load the thread, then go back in and read/quote/respond, and then walk back outside to post so, uh, don’t be surprised if I mass respond to things during the day that are a bit old.
Can't wait to use the command Top10AnimeBetrayals when I shoot someone on my list
S- senpai, no :c

It's blocked at my work too. But found installing a free VPN add-on in Firefox solved that problem.

I would be mildly surprised if I was able to install an add-on with how locked down our computers are but I’ll give it a shot Monday. Worth a try at least.

The trick to this game imo is
1. Don't spam the thread with mundane posts
2. Skim. There are 50 players don't worry about reading or understanding everything
3. Pick your corner. A good read on a few players is better than a sloppy read on everyone
 
I'm wondering how many are going to say "I need to reread the thread" and then realizes how many pages that would be and say fuck it :P

Though seeing analyses of ITA actions might be fun lol.

Nope, full 50 player reads list incoming with a minimum of three paragraphs of analysis each. Also charts. Lots of charts.

As one of my last points I'll make publicly before you all get roles. This is the best advice you are going to get. I've played in two of these myself, a 60-ish player variant and one that was closer to 80 players. You will have blocks of pages you won't read and you will have players that you just forget about. It's the nature of the beast and going into the thread and filtering just one person's post to read their entire history is going to get you a lot farther then trying to catch up a ton of pages at once.

Also, role PMs going out, going to lock the thread while that's happening just so no one says anything about getting a PM earlier than someone else and trying to glean info from that.

The thread is now re-opened and all role PMs are sent out. Please confirm either here or by PM that you received your role (if you already asked me questions about your role or acknowledged the PM in any way then I already confirmed you on my sheet).

Also if you did not get a role or something seems to be wrong, PM ME, do not post that info here.

DAY 1 BEGINS IN:

Checking in!

And yikes, this game looks to be complicated. 50 players, everyone becomes an inaccurate vigilante every day, and even events? I need to re-read the OP at a better time to make sure I got a grasp on everything. ._.

Do you mean if every post had to have 10 posts min (if we were enforcing min post counts)?

That would be a looooot. With heavy posters posting waay above the min. It'd be @_@.

(also if you respond to this, you're contributing to clogging up the thread going against what you said :P )
 
I am tired of waiting for this motherfucking game to start, in this motherfucking thread.

I mean, *ahem*, I'm excited and all that.

Guess it's worth mentioning for the couple new faces. If your role has a command of any sort attached to it, that needs to be PM'd to me and not posted in the thread unless specifically told otherwise.
 

Muffin

is being held hostage by Sammi
Half tempted to just change my avatar to my character as flavor seems to be NAI but then again I'm afraid of some role that needs to find specific characters.

I should know better after HvV.

I will reiterate again just to quell any doubts. Your flavor name does not matter in any way. There is no mechanic that makes use of it. There are no fake claims in the game either because everyone is a marvel hero and the scum hero’s were 100% chosen at random.

Trying to make a read or play based on flavor will get you laughed at by the spectator chat. Please resume hyping the game :P

I also like Stan’s avatar, A+ work.

I just got around to reading all the special rules. My specially trained fists of justice are ready.
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
The only problem with a midnight start for me is that I need to turn in at eleven so that I can be up at five. (Yay, commuting!) So, that pretty much corners me for day starts and ends for the moment. But that's not why I'm doing this, oh no. I'm doing this to say that I was there. When we look back at this and laugh/cry/scream to block out the memories (delete as applicable), I may only be able to say that I was ITA'd early doors when I was asleep... but I was there.
