3313 is a game mode in which players roleplay as themselves (as opposed to Homestuck characters).

History and controversy

 * Main article: 3313 (game) 

The moniker "3313" is a shortening of the date on which the first game of this kind was played (March 3, 2013). Players eagerly joined expecting to have fun, but, as the game progressed, all of them suffered emotional wounds of degrees ranging from the moderate to the extreme. After its conclusion, the participants made a promise to never again play a game of mafia as themselves. Most have since disregarded this agreement, and, to this day, the MaC regulars are divided rather evenly by whether or not they are willing to partake in an "illegal" game.

Those in favor of the mode argue that 3313 games are fun, dramatic, and thought-provoking, and can be considered trust-building exercises. Those who disagree may do so for a number of reasons, ranging from the personal (many have been saddened and/or frustrated by 3313 games in the past) to the logical (guilty roles are often reluctant to kill and may sabotage themselves, taking the challenge out of the game and reducing it to a messy "why won't you fuckers let me die" fiasco).

Gameplay changes


In an attempt to regulate order and force a legitimate game, GMs commonly forbid guilty players from taking altruistic action (by means of role claiming, suicide, or any other method)

Regulars who choose to abstain from a 3313 game often meet up in the Skype chat for a "nope party," where traditional activities include reminiscing about past games, distributing (imaginary) hats, cake, and Nope Streamers, and, on occasion, meeting up on another website to play an entirely different game (such as Dominion).

Recent changes to the gameplay rules have deemed 3313's now legal in certain situations, special events and when there is nobody around to mention things to Emily.


 * The current situation changes include but may not be limited to;

The situation in which no anti party is around has yet to be put into place, and therefore has not been added to the list.
 * Birthdays and Holidays
 * The Third of March, Official anniversary of the original event.
 * In order to cheer up a mafian, those who are in favour of 3313s may have a game created for them.
 * Unforseeable absenses, Such as prolonged lack of internet.
