Rules

Rules

-Mafia- has a few rules, since it's a game based very much on secrets and lying. For example dead people shouldn't be able to talk with the living.

Skyping

Skyping means that the accused is talking with someone else outside of the game, and there by gaining information that they shouldn't be able to gain.

Crimes

These are general guidelines. There are some rare, unlisted crimes that are given punishments based on severity.

General crimes sorted by severity:

Trolling

Trolling is acting like an idiot for the pursuit of hilarity, or otherwise screwing with people in a manner that does not ruin the game.

Example:

• "RED IS ALWAYS EVIL!"

Severity: None (Yep, that's right, nothing will happen to regular trolls.)

Role-Quitting

This one is obvious. This is for all those people who ruin games and setups by leaving just after seeing their role card.

Example:

• "DOCTOR? Fuck this, I'm out."

Severity: Low (Role ragequitters are bad people. But don't bother reporting them.)

Griefing

Griefing is similar to trolling, but actually results in the game being ruined. This is trolling taken too far.

Severity: Medium

Cheating

Cheating is using methods unintended by the game (such as abusing Skype, lag screen, or forcing players to read their role cards) to gain an unfair advantage over other players.

Example:

• "my brother was the GF, and he says Deantwo is SK."

Severity: High

Game-Throwing

This is intentionally playing to lose. An example of this is a Mafioso giving out the names of his fellow Mafia to the town during his trial.

Example:

• "You got me. Boss is Godfather and Deantwo is Janitor, kill them next."

Severity: High

Abuse

Abuse is abusing donor or (more seriously) moderator abilities. This includes kicking people at random, cheating with the mod message system, etc.

Severity: Very High

Hacking

Hacking is obvious: moderator abilities, modifying bank files, mining players' roles, etc. are all examples of this.

Severity: Very High

Punishments

Watch List is a list on the website. For various reasons, people on the watchlist are no longer added to a list in-game, to save time and effort and focus on the real punishments: kick-vote and ban lists.

Watch List

Low or Medium Severity: Multiple reports
High Severity: A confirmed report
Very High Severity: A credible report

Point Ban

A player will receive a point ban if he/she is found to have modified their bank file to gain points unfairly.
Duration in days is equal to the number of points gained unfairly.

Kick-Vote List

Medium Severity: A confirmed report and a criminal history
High Severity: Multiple confirmed reports or a criminal history
Very High Severity: By Administrator decision

Ban List

High Severity: Multiple confirmed reports and a criminal history
Very High Severity: By Administrator decision

Length of Punishments

Dropping from Ban List to KickVote List or from KickVote List to Watch List will result in a sentence equal to double the time spent in the previous punishment level (i.e. someone sentenced to 2 weeks in the KickVote List will then have 4 weeks in the Watch List after the first term is up.)
