Downtrodden. Unappreciated. Hated by dogs and debtors alike. You've given this great country everything you've got! Now it's time they return the favor...
Or so some of you believe. You were sitting in on a recent (and infrequent) safety meeting. Everyone had voiced the same concerns they'd been voicing for the past several years. Minutes were taken as they always were, ready for some faceless bureaucrat to disregard. Arguments that had broken out over which were more dangerous, rabid dogs or icy walkways, had faded to a dull roar. Everyone was just about to get back to their thankless tasks, when the Postmaster General, Moist von Lipwig, went to fetch his coffee cup from the table at the
side of the room. He took a sip - and promptly fell dead. You all looked around the room. Joining the postal service is not for the faint of heart, and really, who doesn't have thoughts of murdering all your coworkers in a cold and calculated rage? ... But some among you have cracked under that pressure. Some among you have gone postal.
Welcome to Gone Postal Mafia! This is a game for 12 players (9 town, 3 mafia) which follows all the normal rules, with one addition: Every player can send a message to another target player each Night (through the mod).
Mail Details
Mail uses a separate system from the power roles, so a regular tracker wouldn’t see who their target sent a message to and a mail tracker wouldn’t see who their target targeted with other abilities.
There are two ways to send mail:
1) Regular mail with return address - Sign a name at the bottom of your letter (must be full and correct username).
Undeliverable mail will be returned to the signed party.
2) Regular mail with no return address - You’ll be anonymous, but you won’t know for sure if your letter was delivered.
To send mail, send me a PM with who you would like to send the message to, and the entire message in a quote box (see below for an example of regular mail with no return address).
Hi Mod! I want to send Kazekirimaru a message.
Hi Kaze! You’re not playing this game, but if you were, I would totally write you a letter every Night.
Love,
Your Secret Admirer
Thanks, Mod! You're the best!
Only what is in the quote box will be sent to the recipient. Any mail you receive will be formatted in a similar fashion, with some moderator preamble and the message in a quote box. You may quote the message itself (only the part within that quote box) in whole or in part. This
is the only exception to Rule 2.
Besides the ability to send messages each Night, you may have additional abilities. Each ability will be active, 1-shot, or static. You may only use one active or 1-shot ability each Night (in addition to any mail you choose to send). Static abilities are always in effect. Read the abilities section of your role PM for details on how your abilities work.
Click the spoiler below for the rules. Read them. They are very important. Failure to follow these rules may result in your untimely death.
The Rules
1. Town is blue, Mafia is red.
2. Do not quote PM’s that you receive from me. This includes your role PM and any images. You may paraphrase, but do not quote or try to describe anything beyond the words.
3. Do not edit or delete posts. If you have
something more to say, make a new post. If you want to correct your grammar, make a new post. Anything else? Make a new post.
4. Do not talk about this game outside this game. Communication with other players must happen either in this thread or by means I provide.
5. Votes and Unvotes must be bolded. Unvoting is helpful, but not required to switch your vote.
6. If you have a question or request for me, please bold it. Questions and requests can also be PM’d to me. Don’t hesitate to ask me anything! I may not give you an answer, but I’ll always reply and am happy to help.
7. You are expected to participate in this game. Any player who has not posted in 72 hours will be prodded. Failure to reply to this prod or being prodded multiple times will result in your replacement or modkill. If you will be unable to post for some period of time, please notify me either in thread or by PM.
8. If you are unable or unwilling to continue playing, please contact me so I can find a replacement.
n9. Once a lynch has been achieved, no unvotes will reverse it.
10. Be sporting. No trying to get modkilled, no cryptoclaiming, no outing of your scum buddies as some twisted revenge. Please don’t try to win so hard that you ruin the game in the process.
11. Thanking posts is allowed as long as you are alive in-game. Dead players and spectators may thank posts as well (so long as it won't impact the game), but must ask my permission before thanking the post.
Sample Vanilla Town Role PM
You are Moist von Lipwig, Vanilla Postmaster General.
Postmaster General of the Ankh-Morpork Post Office, you turned this place around when you took on the job. Considering the short life-span of the four previous Postmaster Generals, you did pretty well surviving for as
long as you did. You’ve lived through corporate espionage, the Assassins' Guild gunning for you, and even a public hanging! Funny that, in the end, a simple cup of coffee did you in. You win when all threats to the Postal Service have been eliminated. Abilities: During the day, you may vote.
Good luck, and have fun!

Moist von Lipwig, your Postmaster General, lies dead at your feet. As you look around the room, you realise that you can’t trust a single one of your coworkers. Anyone could have pulled this off! Well, almost anyone. There’s one postal employee who is both too cute and too retarded to have done anything wrong: Derpy Hooves, Mailmare Extraordinaire!
Cursed_Pride is confirmed town.
It is now Day 1. With 12 alive it is 7 to lynch.
Neither snow nor rain nor fear of being murdered while you sleep will stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

Damn Iamopen2. It's like you already are targeting the towny. Is there a game were you don't post scummy day 1-2? Quite telling of your undertone there.
Vote Iamopen2
@Captain Murphy, I hate brines as well. 2 of my friends had a party at their place and I thought it was Call of Duty and pizza. Walked in the door and saw the "decor". I don't visit
anymore and we just talk about the weather now. Grown men watching that shit with the "Decor" looks like pre-childmolesters to me. Still get the heebeegeebees when I remember that day.

I don't assume anything. LMD's question was vague and therefore stupid as it was obvious what red was assuming. He should have asked your question to red.

Can you rephrase the last part?

I'm just saying you should have either ignored red (like I did since he was obviously assuming that confirmed town is dead town) or ask him a less vague question in order to actually learn something useful from him. My response of "why not" was me trying to show how asking vague and simplistic questions doesn't actually accomplish much.

unvote
are you referring to the Doc game? I am confused. Iamopen2 is a very good player and I have to watch his every post. Why? he speaks ver sarcastically in one, will flip the victim in the next, and lastly gets defensive when targeted. He will always call a post in question from himself sarcasm to avoid suspicion. This is what I have noticed over time.
Why would you come to his defense so quick? You guys scum buddies....AGAIN! Did you not learn anything from the last game? Cause I can tell you this; I did not learn a damn thing. Still confused as to how Stardust nailed Iamopen2 last game.
@Ham,
You lurking again? Do you think Iamopen2 is talking shit or is the shit?

no thats him telling someone that hasn't really contributed to contribute, this game gets stale very quick when nothing is being discussed/accomplished and everyone is twiddling there thumbs spamming.
