Welcome to Forum Mafia 19: Forbidden Actions!

Game is over. Ended on Day 5

Mafia wins! This game was ranked.

The mastermind's behind this game are Gerry, Mori and myself.

The game will be played like any other Forum Mafia game, with one twist! Every player will be given an action pregame. If the action they are given is performed, they will be Killed from the game, with their forbidden action being shown afterward. More information will be given under Rules.

I. The Schedule:

72 Hour Days. 24 Hour Nights

  • If you don't submit actions by the deadline I will consider you taking no action.

II. The Set Up:

  • There is no "possible roles list". I promise not to get too crazy.

  • Mafia will have Day chat. And will know each other's Forbidden Actions

  • You will get an Alignment PM. Town or Mafia and your alignment will not change.

Sample Role PM:

Welcome to Forum Mafia 19, papuito!

Your role is Vanilla Townie, you are sided with the Town.

Your only power in this game is your voice and your vote. Good luck.

Your forbidden action is: Using pictures or gifs in any of your posts

YOU CANNOT SHARE THIS FORBIDDEN ACTION WITH ANYONE

You win if all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one town-aligned player is alive.

Mafia Sample:

Welcome to Forum Mafia 19, papuito!

Your role is Mafia Goon, you are sided with the Mafia.

You are partners with (Player name) and (Player name). You share a day talk here (url here).

Your forbidden action is: Using pictures or gifs in any of your posts

YOU CAN ONLY SHARE YOUR FORBIDDEN ACTION WITH MAFIA MEMBERS.

Each night, one of you or your partners may perform the factional kill. You may kill and perform your role action during the same night.

You win if at least one member of your group is alive and all other players are dead (or if nothing can prevent the same)

III. The Rules:

Forum Mafia 19 Rules:

http://pastebin.com/kEUDw4T9 (The only modification is that mafia may kill and perform role action in the same night. Only 1 mafia member commits the kill.)

As explained earlier, there will be forbidden actions. YOU CANNOT SHARE YOUR FORBIDDEN ACTION. If found to, you will be mod killed. If you commit the forbidden action, you will be killed from the game. You may speculate forbidden actions of others within the game. If asked whether your forbidden action is something, you cannot confirm or deny. You can also not soft or hint as to what your forbidden action is.

We also will be strict about ISP and replacements. If you think for any reason you MAY have to be replaced, do not sign up. We also reserve the right to deny anyone from joining, if we believe you will troll, isp, sub.

IV. Votes:

  • Votes must be made in the format Vote: Playername. Bolding is done using the tags [b][/b].

  • I will not take any other type of vote. If I can't tell who you're voting, I won't take it.

MOD NOTE Mori will be giving out a token prize to a player from each alignment who the hosts determined played best.

V. Game Log:

XXNicoleXX: Vanilla Townie. Lynched Day 1.

Her forbidden action: Town NLing any day.

Damned: Vanilla Townie. Killed Night 1.

His forbidden action: Double Posting and editing post.

yoyo200900: Vanilla Townie. Lynched Day 2

His forbidden action: Any Day lasting less than 36 hours.

VI. Subs:

I also explained that him misreading could be mafia trying to jump at a chance, but I also understand it could go either way, and there's no way I could tell, however based on my previous reads, I thought it was fair to say that there was a chance of that.


Okay so

he never had a scumread on kassidy or implied he had a scumread on kassidy, and even if he had, what was mafia's incentive if they didn't push?

I'm still not caught up lol

Also, Impoetic I will explain with as much clarify as I can, but let me take a break.

OK sorry Retti I was trying to stop when you said that (it wasn't just semantics at first, was it?) and I'll try to stop after this.

Himiko says

"Forbidden actions from where I'm seeing it is just a fancier way of saying 'restriction', which can be an eyesore to read and really easy to fake. " This starting line made no sense for me, because there wasn't anyway asking what forbidden actions were, only just complaining. So, I couldn't comprehend why he started with such a fillery line.


I interpreted that as an argument for why we shouldn't be discussing them.



"I am not taking anyone who has openly alluded to their restriction as town therefore I don't understand konata's preemptive townreads on soda and impoetic." I responded to that by explaining I think it's a nullread, but I didn't see the issue with wanting to go somewhere with it, since it's a good way to get town started. I also didn't understand why Retti chose to single out Kassidy. (if that's konata, or I could be wrong) Especially because Kassidy for the most part, seem to be joking about it, not taking anything seriously.


Kassidy was the only one explicitly townreading people for talking about their forbidden actions early on in the game, and I don't think he was joking about his reads (what's the punchline?). Retti never outed an fos on Kassidy; ergo, it felt like you were doing exactly what you said was scummy -- jumping to an FOS without really analyzing the posts.

That said I don't think it is scummy at this point in the game, especially not in the way you did it, and especially not after you outed that read. I still want to not be totally on another planet from you in perception of the game.

oops my post is too long LMAO

I wish I didn't have to deal with your idiotic comments.

You're saying things like "this person is prob not town" without doing anything like I feel if you were trying to scumhunt you'd be questioning impoe more also the tr on dammed is really dumb and I hope you're joking on it

What makes you tr denial and why didn't you speak up about it.


Idiotic comments, she says.

You mean I'm not making up some dumb bullsh!t and going in-depth on my reads which I'm clearly not 100% on. You say my townreads are dumb yet every read I have is totally logical and probably right.

I already explained why I slightly townread denial, I didn't think he'd start the game off as mafia joking around calling someone mafia. We obviously have different ways of reading people, and based on your vote, mine is better lmfao

Uh there was nothing forced but okay, you're just proving that either A. you aren't as good as mafia as you think you are, or B. you're mafia

Either of those choices works for me

I don't know that sonia is town. But if you're scum then you probably slipped her as town lol. Why did you assume sonia was a town that was wrong on you rather than her being scum. You did the same thing for me as well.


I didn't slip her OR you as town, i'm not gonna tunnel either of you for having a sh!t read and assume that you're mafia. In what world do you assume that the player fosing is you is mafia lmfao


Fair enough. Something feels forced about that post tho so I'm happy to park my vote on you while I'm at work.

Soda legitimately called me mafia for saying that him and Sonia were 0/1 and 0/2 on their reads. You really said that I slipped saying you guys are town for saying that your reads are wrong

And I forgot to add, but Soda reminded me of it. Retti's whole tone in that post felt very formal and rigid. I've never played with Retti before so this might be his usual way of typing, but I don't know.

I wish we could kudo players in this, I would kudo Ripple for fosing two town 6 pages into the game


Something about this post rubs me the wrong way. Mixture of tone and knowing that sonia is town.

The mafia god Soda is 0/1 already. How do you know sonia is town, and where is the tone difference in my post

So, there's my whole reasoning about why I see the Kassidy read as nit-picky.

Maybe my reads don't make sense individually, but seeing Retti's other behavior made me think he was mafia.

the reason i'm lean-town on you is BECAUSE you jumped to an fos early on in the game in a way that would not further scum's win condition, so no, I really don't think jumping to foses is scummy.

In my experience if you don't ask for clarity on reads that don't make sense there's really no way to get anywhere so that logic is also kind of flawed but maybe that's just me (I have a tendency to ask for explanations even in EM games and get fosed for doing it without a clear direction sometimes).

People are slowly gonna jump on the bandwagon to lynch me and then say top tier dumb sh!t like, "oh he fillered." "oh he had illogical reads." "oh he was scummy af."

Why don't you look for town first instead of looking for mafia
