Setting

The world of I.A.O is an embodiment of order and chaos simultaneously, where the tranquility and equinox of Isis are interrupted by the destructive forces of Apophis, followed only then by the redemption of Osiris. Each cult is orthodox in its own turn and strives to increase its power, but besides them, there is another mysterious order intending to use the powers of IAO in the embodiment of the Messiah; all this takes place against the backdrop of an Egyptian settlement where several mysterious sages have arrived, who will inevitably interfere in the unfolding events

Game Rules

• Nights last about 24 hours. The sooner all night actions are sent to the Mage Guild, the faster dawn will come. At night, no one has the right to write anything in the game thread at all, even in "deleted posts".
• Day lasts exactly 24 hours. In extremely rare cases, an earlier or later end of the day is possible.
• To vote for someone's execution, you must write in your message: "**execute %username%**". (the method of execution can be invented by yourself - within reasonable limits) - bold font is mandatory. If a player wants to change their vote, they must first perform the same procedure to cancel the vote ("**Do not execute %username%**"), and only after cancellation vote for another player (In 1 message you can vote once and cancel a vote once, or cancel a vote once and vote once). This is for the Mage Guild to make tracking votes easier. If you do not vote in bold font, the vote will not be counted. Likewise, a vote will not be counted without minimal justification.
• Execution requires only a majority of votes. If a player reaches the "required" number of votes, they will still be hanged only after the end of the day and only if the votes do not change.
• If the majority vote "**Do not execute anyone**", then the day ends without the execution of players.
• All "double votes" are displayed only in the voting results and only if they belong to the majority.
• For the Mafia, decisions on who to kill and who to send on a mission are made collectively. If one of the mafia members is not Online, the other participants can make a decision without them.
• The killer may plant 1 additional clue at the crime scene. It must point to them and be original (i.e., do not leave clues of the "for the super-observant" variety). As for the complexity of these clues, there is quite a lot of freedom, but the Mage Guild still reserves the right not to accept a specific clue, with or without explaining the reason.
• Hints about killers in reports are given based on the user profile (nick, avatar, signature, etc.). If the murder was unsuccessful, the killer will find out, but will not know why it was unsuccessful. No hints are given for unsuccessful murders, except those declared by the killer themselves. Also, there is a hint about the role of the deceased in the reports.
• During the game, changing your nick, avatar, signature, and personal information is strictly forbidden. Therefore, update your profile in advance.
• Discussing the game outside this thread (i.e., in PMs, ICQ, etc.) is allowed only if you have a role that permits it.
• As soon as the news of your death/execution is written, you are gone. But you still participate in the game:
Changing your profile is forbidden, in case a blood mage resurrects you; also consider this fact: dead players usually have a habit of asking living players for their roles; accordingly, if the dead have an opportunity to continue the game, they lose that ability.
• Do not edit your messages. Try to write without errors from the start.
• Modkill (in rare cases - replacement) is performed:
- In case of a gross violation of the rules or a repeated minor violation.
- If during the game day a player has not posted, and has not notified the Mage Guild that they will respond in the thread on the next game day
- It may be performed at the player's request due to circumstances under which the player cannot take an active part in the game.
• If you have the right to perform a night action – do it before the end of the night phase and the start of the day phase (send NA to me via ICQ). I will not wait. If you didn't make it – alas...
• From time to time, I will post the count of all votes for the current game day. Of course, this is important. For me and for you. Players are also allowed to keep a count.
• If you have questions regarding the rules or something is unclear, please contact me via ICQ.
• It is forbidden to disclose your / someone else's role, or its elements, as well as information obtained through them, in public places or among players who are not in the same group as you. The same applies to information about other players. Phrases like "well, and I know something else about him that I can't say" are a violation, regardless of whether you actually know something or are lying.
Statements such as: "I checked", "according to my information, which I cannot disclose", "I know for sure" - etc., are forbidden. Unargued shouts of "he is MAFIA!", "I am Peaceful!" etc. are allowed.
To avoid violating this rule, try to frame your thoughts as assumptions or as IMHO, based, for example, on hints or behavior.

It is permitted to refer to the rules, the Mage Guild, your own posts, or posts of other players, as well as any external sources where you dug up some info via hints.
• First night immunity (the impossibility of killing a person possessing it on the first night of the game) is given to the following participants:
- Those killed on the first night in the previous game.
- The leader of the previous game.
- Newcomers (players playing "Mafia" on our forum for the first time).
- Players who missed three or more previous games.
Announcements can be submitted to the newspaper (mention the text of the announcement in the NA). Announcements can be submitted in any volume, and may contain any information, including false or out-of-game info. A banal example: "Vegtam has a bad status. Your comments." Any signature (whichever you specify). Limit - 5 announcements per player during the game.

• Those not participating in Mafia are forbidden from commenting on what is happening until the end of the game. Well... at least do not comment in this thread.
• "Factions" have the opportunity to choose 2 NA from their list
• An eliminated player whose role is hidden remains silent about the game until the end. They have no right to write on the forum or to anyone in PMs about their role. Likewise, remaining participants have no right to write to them about what role they possess. All discussions of roles are possible only between eliminated participants.
• And most importantly... it is a game, after all. The main thing is that you have fun.

I'm choosing number 15.

Will I get fire this time, or not?

Number 16.

Fast. Too fast. The rules in bold "Monotype Italic" are again impossible to read =/ Even though they are copied from my game, the announcement still has "Vegtam" instead of "Magnus": rolleyes: Number 23 is missing - let's go with 14. A blood mage is definitely hiding there.

Veg, I'm going to kill you!!!)))
Okay, fine, let's go with number 7)) Let it not be just me who's having a bad time :D
P.S.: Isn't it a bit too early for a new Mafia game? :O

Veg, you're being nitpicky))

Just like Magnus used to be :) I really want to participate, but I don't have the opportunity. Unfortunately. So, I'll just wish everyone a pleasant and interesting game :)

Quickly...
Number 9, please.

P.S.: Isn't it a bit too early for a new Mafia game? :O

Neyra, Solnts, I posted in the neighboring thread about the reason for the upcoming launch)) I decided to set it up now, acting on the principle: now or never, because I'm afraid that in the future there will be little time for GM activity.
Ah, yes, I strongly ask everyone to change their profiles to match the atmosphere, something Egyptian or something from the elements or mages, in general, here it is c)

The text in the table is too small and difficult to read. Could you make it a bit larger and change the color of the text, for example, to red?

Me! Choose me! :)
I choose number 12.

The blue color seems to be visible enough, and I've also increased the size.
Ellina, I've noted it.

Oh yes, I strongly ask everyone to change their profiles to match the atmosphere, something Egyptian or something from the elements or mages, in general, something like that.

Consider that my avatar is a mage. :smile04:

Take number 3. That’s how it should be.

11, please.
