The MDV Open!

Cotton: Yes Folks the MDV Open is once again here and boy am I excited!
Pepper: I am too Cotton.
Cotton: For those of you new to the WMFA the rules are simple: Six men on each side throwing balls around trying to knock the other team off their feet.
Pepper: Sounds like Thanksgiving at Grandma’s house!
Cotton: After each team picks themselves up we will get to the main spot, the pro-bowl of mafia if you will. The internet’s brightest-
Pepper: Fluorescent!
Cotton: - and dullest will come together for a winner take all and a loser take nothing battle of the titans. For more on the rulings you will find it in your copy of WMFA Guidebook of Rules and Regulations. It seems the contestants are making their way onto the ground as we speak… Can we get a close up on them Bob?

Cotton: would you look at that pile of scum down there Pepper. When was the last time you remember seeing so many scummy men and… other men in this arena?
Pepper: That would be the great Hangman game of ’06 Cotton.
Cotton: And I think we all remember how that one turned out don’t we?
[They both laugh]
Cotton: While we are waiting to get things underway up here in the box the rest of you can enjoy these ads the contestants have made themselves to share their feelings and expectations of today’s game. As always this is Cotton Godfather-
Pepper: And I brought the salt…
Cotton: … um… Along with Pepper Miller.
Pepper: It’s like a pun!

Tournament Section

Rule 1.1: All official WMFA tournaments will be held in an official WMFA sized Arena. No participant may leave this arena at anytime under any circumstance. No outside help will be allowed via E-mail, PM, Cell Phones, smoke signals, Car Horns, or any other type of communication to anyone inside or outside the game unless specifically allowed by a WMFA official.

Rule 1.2: If any participant has any questions about the Game, Tournament, their role in the game, the Rules and Regulations, or anything else at all short of a question that can be answered with a two digit number who’s parts add up to a sum of Six can send a quick PM to any and all WMFA official at any time.

Rule 2.0: Participants in the game will vote for other participants in the [Vote: Player name] Format. It is required that the vote is bolded but it is not required for the player name to be an exact match. As long as it is painfully obvious to everyone who the participant is voting for it will be allowed. Any participant may also vote for a No Lynch. A majority of No Lynch votes is required to end the phase without a death.

Rule 2.1: Unvoting is required before every new vote if the participant is already voting another player at the time. Failure to comply with this rule will forfeit the attempted vote. Also, any participants who abuse this rule in any way is subject to termination with deadly force.

Rule 2.3: In order for a participant to be lynched a simple majority of the votes is required. Once this majority has been reached nothing can stop the lynch from taking place outside of specific role given talents.

Rule 2.3b: After the final vote is placed and before the thread is locked the ‘twilight’ phase will be enacted. All participants are allowed to talk in the thread. Groups of informed individuals who are allowed to communicate outside the arena may not communicate during twilight but must wait for the official phase shift. Anyone caught breaking this rule is subject to termination with deadly force.

Rule 2.6: Deadlines may be enacted at any time at the discretion of WMFA officials. Extensions may be requested if sufficient reason presents itself. It takes half, rounded up, of the needed majority to lynch at deadline. If no player has reached this then a no lynch shall occur.

Rule 2.9: Once a player has been lynched, killed, terminated, or in any way removed from the game they are not allowed any future communication within the arena until the tournament’s end. Failure to comply with this rule the first time will be considered a ‘BAH’. Failure to comply with it a second time will result in more severe punishments.

Rule 3: Night will have a pre-set deadline given by the WMFA Official. Any Night actions not received by that time will be considered a no action. Informed groups that have been instructed they are allowed to talk may communicate with each other at this time. Any participant may request a ‘break room’ to hold their meetings from the WMFA official. The official will set it up for the participants and will monitor the activities. Failure to keep night discussion limited to night, or any attempt at providing your own ‘break room’ for meetings will be considered a breach of contract and could result in the forfeit of your entire team.

Rule 3b: All actions must be sent into a WMFA official in a timely fashion. The participants are expected to list the subject of the PM as [Mafia- Role name action] to help avoid any confusion. However, the official will be lenient as long as the subject is related to the game and/or their role. Participants are expected to clearly illustrate what action they are performing and who, if any, their targets are.

Rule 4.1: Participants who are inactive for longer then a 48 hour period is subject to official WMFA prodding. Any participant to accumulate 3 WMFA prods in a single tournament will be executed on the spot. Lurking is not an official strategy endorsed by the WMFA and any attempt to do so will result in immediate termination.

Rule 4.2: If a participant has any reason to become officially inactive for any reason they may request time off from the WMFA official. The participant is also required to explain why and for how long he will be gone to the other participants. Failure to inform the official or the other Participants of time off may result in termination.

Rule 5.1m: The WMFA official is not all knowing. Although he or she may have memorized every rule book ever made on the sport there may be some situations where he or she fails at their job. The participants are urged to point out any mistakes quickly in a professional manner.

Rule 5.2m: Any questions pertaining to the game may be asked via Pm to any WMFA Official. Any in-thread question or statement to the Official must be in [Bold] and clearly visible.

Rule 5.5p: Any and all post must be visible. No altered posts are allowed through editing, change in text size, white or invisible text, or any other form of deception. Failure to comply with this rule may lead to immediate termination.

Rule 6: This is a game. Have fun. Respect your other participants while you are killing them. Failure to comply with this rule will result in termination and possible blacklistment.

Rule 7: The WMFA reserves the right to add any rules or regulations they see fit at any time. Failure to comply with these new rules will result in immediate termination.

Rule 7b: Standard MDV rules and regulations apply as well. Failure to follow these will result in disciplinary action by the MDV mods and immediate termination from the WMFA.

Rule 8: All participants must sign that they have read, understand, and accept these rules and regulations. This is done by posting [Signed: Your Name] in thread along with your confirmation post. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action and loss of game privileges.

Open Game Rules

Rule 1.1o: All roles, alignments, names, abilities, etc will be revealed before the game begins. All participants are expected to understand all common mafia roles, names, and abilities. Any questions may be directed toward a WMFA official.

Rule 1.2o: Upon start of the game each player will be randomly assigned:

1: A role name
2: A role ability
3: An alignment
4: An altercation
5: A specialty

Rule 1.3o: Any informed minority will also be given a list of their partners and their partner’s Name, ability, and alignment. Specific group rules will be clearly given to participants at this time. Failure to follow those rules will result in disciplinary actions.

Rule 1.4o: All roles and Alignments will be random. This means the mafia may be given the vig, cop, and doc while the town is given nothing. All participants are expected to understand this and accept the possibility of overbalanced sides.

Rule 1.5o: All participants are expected to understand these rules. Any misunderstandings or confusion should be cleared up with the WMFA official before signing up to play in an Open game.

Rule 2o: The game will start in the confirmation period, followed by the Day 1 phase. During the confirmation period all participants are expected to confirm in thread and sign that they have accepted the rules. No other posts may be made in the thread. Informed minority groups may at this time request a specific ‘break room’ from the official. Each member of the group is allowed one post in this new ‘break room’ to get acquainted. No strategy or talk about the game is allowed at this time. Failure to comply may result in loss of ‘break room’ privileges and other disciplinary measures.

A couple lost rules I've decided to add now instead of waiting to do it later. It should answer a couple questions. Also I'm goign to start a WMFA Dictonomy chart seeing as how I seem to be making words up on the spot...


Open Game Rules

Rule A1o: The number of participants in an Open game is not set in stone. The roles and number of each alignment reside solely on the number of participants. The more people in one game, the more roles and alignments will be added. Equally, the smaller the participation group, the less roles and the more basic of abilities.

Rule A2o: An altercation is when a Basic role is altered from the commonly accepted role. These altercations could include One-shot, Day use, even/odd number use only, any other specialty altercation. Every role will have a % chance of either being normal or altered depending on the size of the participation pool.

Rule A3o: A specialty is when a Basic role is given a more specialized ability then usual. Some examples would be specializing a cop into a role cop. Roles with specializing properties will have a % chance of either being normal or being specialized depending on the size of the participation pool

WMFA <-> English Dictionary:

WMFA – World Mafia Federation of America. This is the NCAA and NFL of the Mafia community.

WMFA Official – The “mod” of the game. EM would be considered the MDV League Liaison officer. Questions pertaining to MDV specific rules should be brought before him, however to be safe all questions should first go through the WMFA officer who will direct it to where it is needed.

Break Room – WMFA Tournament name for ‘scum chat’. Any scum chat threads will be run through quick topic and set-up by the Mod. It will also be monitored so be forewarned.

Participant – Any and all players. The ‘participation pool’ refers to the number of players starting the game. 'Current Participation pool' refers to the number of players still in the game at the time.

Final WMFA Dictonomy. It should clear up anything I've posted thus far.

Arena – The game thread.

Tournament – Long hand for the actual game that is currently being played. Sometimes it will actually be called the ‘game’ but most of the time the word “game” refers to a specific type of tournament such as Open, Theme, and Large.

Terminated – To be mod killed. A terminated player automatically loses the game.

BAH – Battered, Annihilated, Humiliated. Refers to the one post most dead players give to express their grief of being killed or lynched. No ‘BAH’ should include anything specific to the game or any information that could lead to future events. Only one ‘BAH’ is allowed.

This is a normal game of mafia with the theme of a sporting event. saying you can't leave the arena is just a clever way of saying no outside communication blah blah blah.

Just an FYI for all you sports lovers out there this set up is not specifically desgned for any set number of people. It can be played with anywhere from 4 - 400. So I'm not going to sit here and wait for some predeterimned number of participants. Instead i'm letting this sign up run a set period of time...

Let's see... cross off the week end... so... I think the 8th would be plenty long enough... maybe even too long...

Anyways just a rough etimate, sign-ups close on the 8th.

I would like in, if there's room.

Sensei kakashi
04-06-2009, 02:06 AM
There is room for everybody...

I'm thinking I'll go ahead and close signups a bit early. either tomorrow night or early the next morning and then post the set-up build. As soon as I get that posted I'll randomize it and send out roles. after that it's a simple job of creating the thread and the lot of you confirming. Just an early heads up, it's one confirmation post from everyone... I don't want to see someone post like 8 times before the game opens or anything...

Sensei kakashi
04-07-2009, 01:43 AM
Alright I'm closing the sign-ups down just becuase this is enough people and I have time.

Bare with me, my computer skills are not all that great...

Game set-up:

Roles: Player names (You may or may not be given your own.)
Alignments: 10 Town, 3 Mafia, 1 SK
Abilities: Cop, Doc, Jailkeeper, Roleblocker, Vig, Masonizer, Mafia power, 7 Vanilla
Specialities: 50% Role Cop, 35% (5% for each additional) Miller Vanilla( Ivest. Immune for goons/unpowered SK)
Altercations: 10% 1 shot,15% Day Vig
Mafia Powers: Mafia: (1)
Ability:GF – 50% usuper, Bulletproof – 15% One shot

Anyone who doesn't know something above can ask in thread so we can go ahead and make it public. Of course, once you recive your role you can ask via PM as well.

The mafia power is a new feature I added just becuase I feel 3 mafia seems a bit unfair with 10 town. This is a garenteed power given to one of the 3 scum before randomnization occurs. It will either be GF(investigation immunity) Along with a 50% chance of one of the other two getting the usuper specialty, or it will be Bulletproof with a 15% chance of it being a 1 shot.(Instead of the normal 10)

All altercation % chance occure with every abilityr except Masonizer. All specialty occurs for just the ability it referes to. Any mafia to get a vanilla ability is considered a goon. If the SK gets a vanilla ability it is considered an Unpowered SK.

All vanilla abilities carry with it a 35% chance of becomeing a miller (or anti miller if scum) after the first miller is created all future millers only have a 5% chance. This is overall not per factions.

Everything and anything including role names will be random. In an effort to make the game a bit more balanced if the SK gets the Doc/Jailkeeper the ability will allow for self-protection, otherwise it will not. If I provide examples of every ability role PM I will show it as not being able to regardless of who actually gets it.

Roles will be sent out soon so bare with me.
