Pre-game FAQ
1. When do actions lock? Can I pre-queue actions?
Day actions will lock one hour before the Day ends, unless specified otherwise.
Night actions will lock two hours before the Night ends.
We understand that ten hours may not be enough time for some people to submit their actions, so we will be allowing pre-queueing of Night abilities (as well as Day abilities).
2. Why can’t I claim certain things? What can I claim?
Every role in this game was designed around the playerlist, and created by a small group of people, whom many of you know! We want to avoid scenarios where people can get cleared simply based off of the wording, flavor, or quotes used in their rolecard because ‘that sounds like something [host] would write,’ since that’s no fun, and not fair to people who are actually trying to play Mafia.
In order to combat this, claiming is limited.
You may claim your User, which is the name on top of your rolecard. In the example below, the User is Chloe.
You may claim your Role, which is the colored title below the User. In the example below, the Role name is Town Idiot.
You may describe what your abilities or passives do, but you may not claim the name of said ability or repeat the ability’s text word-for-word. In the example below, I would be able to explain that I have a post restriction, and my typos and cat pictures are mandatory, but I cannot say the name of this passive (Expert of Forum Mofoa) or quote the exact wording of what I’m forced to do.
Example Rolecard
Chloe
‘its not fucking o???’
Town IdiotExpert of Forum Mofoa: All instances of the letter i that you post in the thread must be replaced with the letter o. To bypass this restriction, you may post freely as long as you include an image of a cat within your post.
Eliminate the Mafia and all other possible threats to the Town.
Claim at your own risk.
3. How do I ITA?
Simple! Type some form of **/ITA [player]** or **/Shoot [player]** and ping the host account: @CommunityFM3
Make it clear that it’s an ITA, or it may not be processed.
There are no ITAs on Day 1.
4. How do I vote?
We’re utilizing a voting thread to make life a little easier. In order to vote, type **/vote [player]** in the main thread, and send a link to that post in the voting thread.
You can find a link to your post in the bottom right corner by pressing the chain icon.
Or, you can click the timestamp in the top right corner of a post and grab the link there.
5. What are events?
Events are, well… events! Multiple times a day, there will be an announcement in the thread in BLUE which signals the beginning of an event.
You can earn prizes in all events, but some events come with a risk of death.
Some events are opt-in and only a limited amount of players are able to join. There will be a message in the announcement you must reply with (Usually **/in**) in order to get a spot.
Other events have an unlimited player-size, and anybody can participate!
All real-time events require stable internet access.
You may not talk (or hint) about what may be happening in ongoing events in ANY non-event chats.
6. Can I action on Night 0?
Only if your ability specifies you can.
7. What if my question wasn’t answered here?
Ask in your rolecard! Games of this size and complexity can be rather confusing, so don’t be afraid to ask for help.
