Rules

Follow the Global Rules, as well as the Forum Game Rules.

This game has a minimum post count of 10 game-relevant posts per in-game day. Failure to meet will result in a warning the first time, substitution the second time. 0 posting will instead result in substitution on the first time.

Alts are allowed and do not have to disclose their identity to the hosts.

Mafia chat will be immediately made public after the end of game.

Setup Information

9x Vanilla Town
2x Mafia Goon

Sample Role PMs:

  • Flavor is NAI and has already been randomized from this site: List of breads | Wikipedia. You are allowed to flavor claim.
  • The Mafia factional kill is not assigned.
  • The Mafia factional kill is mandatory. If no factional kill is submitted, the kill will be determined randomly from among living members of the town.
  • The Mafia will communicate through a private Discord server.

Gameplay Information

  • Phases will begin and end at 9:00 PM.
  • Days are 48 hours. Nights are 24 hours.
  • Eliminations are plurality-only unless in ELo.
  • Sleep is a valid vote.
  • Tied votes will result in a player being eliminated at random from among the tied players.
  • Self-votes are not considered valid votes.
  • Votes are locked in ELo (eliminate-or-lose) scenarios, but not in MeLo (miseliminate-and-lose) scenarios.
  • Voting will follow this format (see Section II).
  • If a player needs to be modkilled during the day, their alignment will not be revealed until the day phase is over. Additionally, the day might immediately end with the modkill, depending on the situation. This is left to host discretion.
  • A 0-posting player, going into the night, CANNOT make it alive to the next day (if no replacement is found). If no replacement is found, we will extend the night phase by 24 hours. If we still can’t find one, the slot will be modkilled.

D1 Flavor: A Simple Loaf

Recipe Source

image875×583 51.7 KB

Ingredients
640g Room temperature water
24g Fresh yeast or 14g dry yeast
1000g Strong white bread flour
16g Salt
30g Olive Oil

Method

Marking the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, weigh your yeast, add the water, and mix together until the yeast is dissolved.

Next, add the flour, salt, and olive oil.

Mix everything with your dough scraper until it comes together into a rough dough, and then turn it out onto a clean table. Knead your dough well for 8 minutes without dusting with any flour. Then, shape it into a ball and place it back into the bowl. Sprinkle the top with a little flour, cover with a clean cloth and rest at room temperature for 1 hour.

Dividing and Pre-Shaping

Dust the top of your dough and use your dough scraper to turn it out onto the table. Make sure the dough comes out of the bowl upside down, sticky side up.

Use your fingertips lightly to flatten the dough and cut into two equal size half-moon pieces with your dough scraper. Fold each piece into a ball by pinching an edge with finger and thumb and folding it over the dough almost to the other side. Keep turning and folding the dough, working your way round until you end up with a bouncy ball of dough. All the seams and joins should end up on one side, and the underside should be smooth and tight.

Roll it over bringing the smooth side to the top and cup your hands underneath the dough slightly to tighten it up. Dust lightly with flour, and rest your two dough balls next to each other on the table under a proving cloth for 15 minutes.

While you are waiting, lightly grease two loaf tins with oil or butter.

Shaping

Remove the cloth from the top of your dough. The dough balls should have relaxed and spread slightly. One by one, shape up your loaves.

Slide your dough scraper underneath to unstick a dough ball from the table and flip it upside down onto a lightly dusted surface.

Press once again with fingertips and knuckles to push the dough flat into a circle. Slide your fingers, palms up, underneath each side of the dough. Grip the dough and pull to stretch the dough sideways.

At an angle, fold one side two thirds of the way over the dough and the other side the same so that it ends up overlapping the first fold and you have a kind of capital-A shape. Then, roll the dough from the pointy edge towards you into a tight sausage. Squeeze up the seam to stick together.

Drop your loaf into its tin seam side down, and repeat for the second loaf.

Second Rest

Cover up your loaves with your cloth again, and rest for 1 hour. While the loaves rest, preheat your oven to 200°C/390°F with a deep tray on the bottom shelf. Fill half a kettle of water ready to go for later if you are baking with steam.

When your loaf has clearly risen and is slightly delicate to the touch, get ready to bake.

Baking

When you are ready to bake your loaves, boil the kettle.

Gently place both your loaves on the oven shelf and pour the hot water into the tray beneath (be careful!), and close the oven door.

Bake your loaves for 40 minutes. I bake mine start to finish without checking because I know my oven really well, but if this is your first loaf set a timer for 30 minutes and take a look. If the loaves look like they are taking on too much color, turn the oven down to 180°C/355°F to finish off for the final ten minutes.

When they are done, pop them out of the tin and feel the underside. If they are soft and steamy underneath, return them to the oven without the tin for a further 5-10 minutes.

Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
