Phantom my Opera and call me South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut





Galaxy-Brain Sane Mafia: A CubicalSucrose Concoction is an experimental, SANITY-MECHANIC-HEAVY game designed for 17 players (& as many observers as Discord can handle) based off of inspiration from a recent obs-chat idea and a few hours of chatting with Iggy. Most of the positive refinement comes from Iggy, all of the remaining rough edges are from me.

This is the second game I’ve moderated, there’s a reasonable chance it just fails spectacularly, and thus it might be a bad idea for new players to join this one. But I’m not your supervisor!

There will be no fake flips, involuntary alignment changes, dramatic observer fuckery (though again I think unspoiled might be a better experience), no "hidden to everyone" win conditions, and I'm not requesting to be an IK. The only potential modkills this game should be lurker-related (he says, proverbially tempting the fates). I didn't do a full pass of other mod bastardry items so I'm probably (semi-intentionally) leaving a few things out just to keep the suspense up, but really the main gimmick is sanity.

Rule zero: If you ever encounter anything or anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable, threatened, abused, angry, or even unsure of how you feel, there are many people here, both within and outside of the SA Mafia community, who are happily willing to listen, provide support, and enact change to make the community better for everyone.
Here is a short list of only some of the people that other players have suggested as a resource that you should never hesitate to contact: Leperflesh and Antivehicular (probably the current Traditional Games Mods), VoodooFly, Hal Insandenza, Bifauxnen, Monathin, Wologar, Maerlyn, EccoRaven, CCKeane, Cloacamazing!, Opopanax, Sandwolf, Shellception, or whomever else you feel safer talking to!


Days will last 48ish hours, possible exceptions for weekends.
Nights will last 24ish hours.
Deadline will try to be at 21:00 UTC or 4 PM US Central to be a little more Euro-friendly.
If all night actions are in before deadline, there are no objections from any players, and the mod crew is agreeable, the next Day may start early with extra time allotted in.

A CUSTOM set of mafia rules apply:
- Don't be a jerk.
- Discord is necessary for this game. Please
JOIN THIS ONE.
- This is actually really important, don’t be a jerk.
- Don't edit your posts (unless otherwise indicated).
- Don't copy/paste mod comms (unless otherwise indicated).
- Post “sufficient content” in a hammer-time-adjusted game day or you'll get a lurker warning (unless otherwise indicated). This is at mod discretion, but I intend to be relatively lenient. Don’t just spam posts with single numbers to hit a post count requirement, that’s not (necessarily) useful content. Don’t try to game this by being an intentionally-lurky scum. A second lurker warning is likely a modkill (then why am I calling it a "warning?" Maybe it'll serve as a warning to other players?).
- If you need to sub out, earlier notice is better. If you think it’s not a great time for you to be playing, please don’t sign up.
- Don’t post anything with a ## except for a vote. THERE ARE NO DAY ACTIONS THAT REQUIRE A ##. Also try not to post anything even with a single #, since that gets confusing.
- Don't post after hammer (unless otherwise indicated).
- Don't post after you die (unless otherwise indicated).
- In order to actually sign up for this game, if you haven't played in a previous CubicalSucrose Concoction, you need to include something like “I actually read the rules and acknowledge this game is sanity-heavy” in your post. A quote of someone else saying they read the rules does NOT count! Preferably you’d read the entire OP, but I do actually want the game to run.
- Don't be a jerk.
- Flips may have flavor related to the theme, but will NOT reflect any game-related cause of elimination (though they may reflect other game-related characteristics).
- Finally, don't be a jerk.

Win Conditions (unless otherwise indicated):
Town wins when all threats to town have been eliminated.
Scum wins when they have unassailable control over the vote.

Day Eliminations:
- Will be based on PLURALITY voting.
- It is possible to vote for “No elimination” (this follows plurality rules)
- In the case of ties, everyone with the most votes on them will be eliminated (if there is a tie between at least one player and “No elimination” then the player[s] WILL be eliminated).

Never attribute to malice that post which is adequately explained by a poor sense of humor.
As someone who constantly questions their sanity when playing these games, I guess this one is perfect for me! Sure, I read the rules. Hit me with your drug-addled cops or whatever this is.
