Rules: Make sure you read and understand all the rules.
Cheating: Cheating includes (but is not limited to):- Posting after death. You may have one polite goodbye post, which must not contain any game-relevant information.
- Ruining the game, such as by revealing your mafia teammates or giving out the link to QTs you may have.
- Obtaining someone else's role by logging on to their account or looking over their shoulder.
- Comparing role PM times to attempt to determine roles.
- Posting or quoting any PM you received in connection to this game.
- Posting screenshots of anything, especially: your inbox, PMs, QTs, or other out of thread communications.
- Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
- Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
- Betting items outside of the game in exchange for in-game benefits.
- Sharing accounts with other players, unless cleared with hosts in advance. If not, only you may post on your account.
- Breadcrumbing using the specific phrasing of your role PM. You may claim your role and abilities, but you may not use role PM phrasing in order to prove your role or alignment.
- Posting a false role PM phrased as if you received it from the host. You may fake claim a role other than the one you received, but you may not make it seem like you are posting a real role PM received from the host.
If you feel that any action you are considering may be against the spirit of the game, it is best to contact a host and ensure it is allowed before proceeding.
General:
Host Color: Bolded blue text is reserved for the hosts of the game to make our posts easy to notice. Please do not use it.
Questions: Please do us a favor and read the rules before you ask anything. Before the game starts, if you have questions about the rules, you may ask in the thread.
Once role PMs have gone out and the game is ready to start, all questions are to be sent by PM only. You will be modkilled without warning if you ask a question in thread, or mention that you intend to ask a question, or reveal that you have asked a question by PM. If I think your question warrants the attention of the entire thread, I will make an announcement without revealing who asked the question.
Smurfs: Smurfs must PM the host because TL doesn't allow multiple accounts otherwise. If the host is unaware of smurfs, you (and/or your smurf) can be banned for having multiple accounts
Editing: Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be modkilled. This is the one part of the site where it is okay to be double posting, even triple-posting.
"Editing" includes indirect editing like linking an image, then modifying the image. Editing your profile or signature are allowed, but if you edit them for any game-related reasons (i.e. breadcrumbing, sending messages, etc) this will be considered out of thread posting and will be punished.
This rule also applies if your role provides a QuickTopic for out of thread communication. Do not edit or delete posts that you have made in any QuickTopic.
Spam: Spam is not tolerated, nor is any off-topic material. Do not discuss Proleague(RIP) here. Do not talk about Starcraft II here. Play Mafia here.
Complaints about other players: Do not discuss in the thread asking for someone to be warned, replaced or modkilled. If you have a problem with someone or something, PM the hosts and let us handle it. Do not under any circumstance take matters into your own hands.
Inappropriate posts and use of the report post link: If you want to post something insulting or inappropriate and know the TL mods would have a problem with it elsewhere, don't post it here. If you do, a host will warn you or modkill you and request that you be banned from future games. The hosts have the final say on what is inappropriate. If you do not like how someone is talking to you, please PM a host, Flamewheel, or Mig before involving the TL moderation staff or using the report post link. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can appeal to the TL staff normally.
Modkill and ban discussions: Please wait until this game is over to talk about modkills and bans resulting from this game.
Play to win. This means you play your best to help your team win while you are alive and in the game. However, this does not mean that you should try to win by being a jerk to the other players so they all want to quit playing.
This also means that you cannot leave the game without a good reason without a ban. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. PM your host if you need to leave the game.
Out of thread communication: It is common for players whose roles permit out of thread communication to use a medium outside of TL e.g. QuickTopic, IRC or skype to communicate during the game. Other players may not attempt to infiltrate such communication channels. Players who have not explicitly been given permission to communicate outside the thread are not allowed to do so.
If your role permits out of thread communication, you may not directly quote any of those communications in the game thread. You may not post screenshots of out of thread communication channels, or compare timestamps. You may still discuss with the game thread what was said elsewhere, but no quoting — you must describe using your own words.
Reminder: the rule against editing also applies to any QuickTopics that you are provided for out of thread communication. Do not edit or delete QuickTopic posts.
Game-specific rules:
Modkills: This game follows the TL Mafia Ban List. If you are modkilled, your punishment will go beyond being eliminated from this game. Please refer to it for questions about your punishment. If you want to use this game to sit out your ban, please inform the host or post in the Ban List.
If you break any rules, you will receive ONE (1) warning PM on your first offense. There will be no second warning. Please don't make me wield the hammer.
Hydras: Ask for permission if you wish to play as a hydra. Requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Replacements: This game uses replacements.
Inactive players may be replaced by other players up to (and including) End of Day 2.
At any time, if you are unable to continue playing for a legitimate reason and require a replacement, inform the host(s) via PM. Do not post about it in the thread and do not contact the standby players on your own accord.
Clues: The role PMs and day/night posts are purely flavor text. There are no clues.
PMs: PMs and out of thread communication are not allowed in this game, unless your role explicitly allows them.
Activity: You are expected to keep up with the thread and participate in discussion daily. If for some reason you anticipate that you will not be available for a period longer than 24 hours, please notify a host ahead of time. If a player fails to post by midday of a day phase, they will be sent a reminder/warning. If they remain inactive for the entire day phase, they will be replaced or removed from the game.
Time Cycle: This game will follow a 48 hour day/24 hour night cycle. Any votes or PM actions timestamped up to and including XX:59 will count; those at or after XX:00 will not.
Upon reaching the deadline at the end of a day or night phase, the game will be put on hold until the next day or night post is posted. Once the deadline has been reached, you must not post in the thread until the game is resumed by the next daypost or nightpost. Do not wait until the very last moment to try to post!
The deadline for this game is: 6:00 pm UTC, or 18:00 GMT (+00:00) in your timezone.
If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so. I will not compensate for ignorance.

+ Show Spoiler [original Infatuation Mafia post] +Setup:Introduction In conjunction with Valentine’s Day, this will be a game with particular focus on the Lover role. For the purposes of this game, Lovers are a pair of players who are linked to each other. Generally speaking, if one Lover dies, their partner dies simultaneously. Lovers are given a QT to communicate with one another in private. Lovers may be of any alignment, and are not confirmed to their partners. That part should be more or less familiar to most players. The twist in this game is that no one starts off as Lovers. Instead, the game revolves around an “Infatuation” mechanic. Each cycle, a new pair of Lovers will be created from among the players who are “single”. Players will have agency in this process: each player will maintain a preference ranking of the others according to “desirability”, with the top choice being their “crush”, whereas those at the bottom can be considered either “disliked” or "friendzoned" and would have their advances rejected. The above forms the basic premise behind the design of this setup. Upon this foundation are added various supporting roles and mechanics that are specifically designed to interact with the Lover role and Infatuation mechanic. Setup will be balanced based on number of signups. Currently aiming for approx. 17~19 players which we think is close to ideal, but we will try our best to adjust accordingly.
