Game start is slated for 11:00am PST, Monday, 9/1.
Seeing as there seems to be few bites in other games, and how much more I prefer modding to playing, I wanted to give this game concept a spin.
Succinct Mafia is just that. The game premise is that everything meaningful can be said in a short, concise post. This game is pointedly rallying against walls of text and/or quotes and aims for both a civil and straightforward discussion.
It will be a closed setup, and lean away (EDIT: Andrew is a dirty ENGLISH MAJOR) from role madness, though there will be roles. I will say that powers will be based off traditional mafia roles at the most extreme (you're not going to see anything completely out of the box).
Days will be 48 hours, with unlimited time on LYLO (and if you think factors will prevent you from being able to participate in a timely manner please do not sign up. I view signing up as a form of commitment, so unless you want an angry Laggy, do your best to participate.) Day ends WILL be auto-extended by 30 minutes from the latest post (that is, day will not end until 30 minutes have passed and no hammer is in sight). I feel this is a reasonable compromise as to not suddenly curtail the end of the day in the middle of discussion. Please do not abuse this (wrap up the day if it's already come to deadline) or I may decide not to show such leniency in the future.
Rules-
* All posts should be less than 300 words. This isn't a post restriction rule - that is, I'm not going to modkill you if you accidentally break it by a few dozen - but you'll be warned the first time, and potentially modkilled if your posts really do start looking like walls of text after said warning. By the way, quoted words count towards this limit, so quote very sparingly/selectively if at all!
* Don't post consecutively. Double posts to correct/add thoughts are fine, but you're cheating the whole idea if you do it more than that. Back and forth posts between two people (as often happens) is fine so long as your posts aren't becoming gargantuan quote debates (aka adhering to the first rule).
* Be civil. Be active. Very important. Since your word count isn't going to be that high, your content and your punctuality to the game will presumably make up for it. With days clocking at 48 hours, I'd say you're expected to view and respond to the thread and current happenings at least three times a day, preferably more.
Otherwise, a straightforward concept. I'm looking for at least 13 people, with more the better. Game will be aborted if I don't have enough signups by a week (and will also start then, if I have.)
P.S. This post was 448 words! More now that dirty English majors made me fix grammatical errors.
