If you're confused about anything, check out this game's preview article first!
(Shout out to the entire Flying Press staff for their help with getting the article published on short notice, thanks a ton!)

Anyway, here are the rules for this game. I recommend reading them before signing up.
1. You must obey all forum-wide and subforum-specific rules. These include but are not limited to adding users to mafia conversations, screenshotting of any kind, impersonation, and insulting other users. If you think there’s any problem with the game come to the hosts (UncleSam and Walrein) with it before mentioning it to other players. In other words, just exercise common sense and if anything is unclear ask the hosts about it rather than just assuming anything

2. Every player will receive a Role PM. These PMs may not ever be shared, in part or in full, with other players. You may not at any time c/p or quote directly from your Role PM. You can describe your role in your own words only. You may not ever c/p a result PM you receive from the hosts, though, again, you may describe it in your words. Do not ask someone about any particulars of their Role PMs.

3. The official chat room for this game will be the Circus Maximus chatroom on PS! You may also discuss on the SynIRC network in the channel #circus. For help with IRC, click here.

4. Submit all actions as a new reply to your Role PM conversation. You may also contact the hosts directly on Showdown or IRC, but if you do not receive a reply, then send a PM with your actions anyway.

5. This game will have a Unicycle format. This essentially means that the typical ‘day’ and ‘night’ cycles of real-life mafia will be collapsed into one, in order to halve the runtime of this game and keep things moving at a fast pace. As such, each Cycle will have both a daily lynch, in which you may post a bolded Vote <user> to vote for another player to be lynched. At the same time, you may submit targets for any abilities you might have. Deadline for each cycle will typically be 48 hours after the conclusion of the previous Cycle.

6. Many players will hold items which are found on their Pokemon’s recommended movesets. However, unlike in Pokemon battling, in this game you may hold multiple items at the same time, and may also pass items which you hold to other players each Cycle by PMing the hosts.

7. The game will start on Cycle 1. All kills and lynches will be valid on Cycle 1.

8. Action priority will as closely as possible reflect Pokemon speed tiers. That being said, some actions must occur before others for them to make sense; as a general rule of thumb, assume that the lynch takes place at a speed tier of 0 Speed, with priority +1.

9. Actions in this game are almost universally either commonly found moves on recommended Smogon movesets, or recommended abilities. If a move wouldn’t affect another Pokemon in a battle, it won’t affect it here - Levitators dodge Earthquake, Electric types can’t be paralyzed, etc.

10. Feel free to ask me any hypotheticals about roles, but I can’t confirm anything about actions of other players or priorities.

11. If you start to get busy then let the hosts know so that we can find a substitute.


The game will last about two weeks after I start it, which will be ~8 PM CST Saturday, May 21st. As a general rule of thumb, if you’re going to be gone for more than a 48 hour period within that time frame, or think you won’t be able to get online to at least check PMs and read the thread each day, then PM the hosts with your concerns and we will let you know whether you ought to sign up or not.

To sign up, simply post ‘in’ in this thread. Players of all skill and experience levels are encouraged to sign up and join the Circus Maximus Showdown! room.
