A closed set-up, no-PM game with unique role names.

Come one, come all, to a magnificent city of magic and wonder - where each and every member of this cast has two faces. In this fast-paced community of sycophants, everyone is welcome to rent a property but no one would dare to buy a home. This is an interval in life away from the realities of the real world, tucked into a little nook in the English countryside. But something has gone awry and it?s up to the city?s guests to find the cause.

How do you solve a murder in a town where nothing is as it seems?

Mafia Novices
Mafia is a game of the uninformed majority versus the informed minority. To elaborate, the game is divided into two teams: the Town and the Mafia. Mafia know who each other are, and can coordinate their actions privately. Town players on the other hand don't know anything other than their own role. To compensate, there are many more Town than Mafia. The objective of the game is for Town to eliminate by killing or lynching all the Mafia before it is too late. The game is divided into repeating phases of Day and Night. Day revolves around voting for a player to be lynched. Night is reserved for the Mafia to make their kills and certain players to use their special abilities.
This game requires dedication. You will be required to dedicate time to the game daily (at least thirty minutes) while you are an active participant in the game, with at least one substancial post per day/night phase. Failure to do so without warning the host in advance of inactivity will result in modkill.
At the beginning of the game, you are PM'd your role. The game is divided into repeating phases of Day and Night. Day will generally last 48 hours and revolve around voting for a player to be lynched. Each player (including Mafia) get one vote, and players must figure out who the Mafia are, and convince others that they are correct. At the end of the day, the person with the most votes is lynched, and their alignment and role are revealed.

Night is typically 24 hours long and is reserved for Mafia night kills and players with special abilities. Usually, players discuss the results of the lynch at night, and make plans for the next day. When night ends, everyone will be informed of who died during the night. The new day will begin, and discussions for the lynch begin anew.

Mafia is a game of logic, intuition, persuasiveness, reading ability, emotion, and will. In short, its a thinking man's game. There are many different ways to approach the game and every game is a very different experience. In addition, Mafia is not for the faint-hearted or overly emotional. While not occurring every game, sometimes people can get into very heated arguments with one another. People can get very emotional playing Mafia, as it is a high-intensity endeavour. That being said, playing Mafia is an excellent to develop thick skin, improve your patience, and make yourself a stronger person mentally.




Game Specifics
This is a closed set-up, no-PM game. Roles and alignment will be revealed upon death. Role names are unique. Third party roles may or may not be included.
This is a zero tolerance game. Mafia is an emotional game, but it is not a pass to act like a jerk. Players caught cursing at each other, insulting other players, and otherwise displaying any other signs of aggressive and antisocial behaviour that violates The Bell Tree's Rules & Guidelines can and will result in disciplinary action including;

  1. Modkill from this game.
  2. Timed mafia ban.
  3. Recommended for a formal warning/infraction/ban on your account.
If you find yourself getting angry, I would advise taking an hour away from your computer before you formulate your reply. I won't show mercy if you post in the heat of the moment. If you see anyone violating this rule, take it up with me via PM - do not let it derail the game.





General Information ♛​

Most returning players will be familiar with the following. These are the rules regarding WoTC, Activity, Day/Night Cycles, etc. Please review them so you understand how this game will be run.
PMs
PMs and other out-of-thread communication are NOT allowed UNLESS you are explicitly told otherwise.

Activity:
You must vote every day you are alive, and must contribute one substantial post at least once every full day/night cycle. This means that if you only make one post, it needs to be more substantial than simply saying "I agree" or "RIP". If you post multiple times, this rule may may be less strict. There may be exceptions to this if day/night phases progress rapidly at any stage in the game. If I don't believe you're contributing enough I'll send you a warning PM.

Wisdom of the Crowds
Wisdom of the Crowds is not in effect in this game.

Replacements
This game uses replacements. Replacements will be made up until the end of Day 2.

Time Cycle:
This game follows an approximate 48-hour day cycle, with a 24-hour night cycle. The final deadline will always be 11PM BST (6pm EST). This may be reduced in the later stages of the game.




Rules ♛​

Cheating:
Cheating includes (but it is not limited to):
  1. Posting after death. You may have one polite goodbye post, but it may not contain any potentially game-changing information.
  2. Ruining the game by doing something like handing out your mafia's member list to the town.
  3. Logging on to someone else's account to get their role or looking over someone's shoulder to get their role.
  4. Comparing role PM timings to try and work out roles.
  5. Posting or sharing any PM you receive from a host without permission.
  6. Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
  7. Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
  8. Offering favours/items/bells outside of the game for a ingame information.
  9. Sharing accounts with other players.
  10. Breadcrumbing the specific phrasing of your role PM. Do not compare the phrasing in your role PM to prove your alignment. You can claim the abilities you have, but you can't use the specific phrasing of your role PM.
  11. Posting a false PM phrased as if you received it from the host. You can still fake roleclaim, but you cannot make it look like you are posting a PM you received from the host.

Mod Font:
This is the mod colour. It is reserved for the host. Please do not use it.

Question Font:
This is the question colour. Use it to ask the host questions about the rules in public. You can also PM me.

Spam:
Strategic spam is acceptable, within reason.

Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be modkilled. While I ask for everybody to post as concisely as possible, post again if you have to edit anything. The board software automatically merges the posts anyway.

Inappropriate posts:
Mafia games can get heated and emotional. Please keep it civil and remember that what happens in Mafia stays in Mafia. Don't let things spill over to the rest of the forum, it's just a game. If you are unhappy with a player's posts, PM me first.

Observers' Chat:
While spectators will be fuelling speculation, and dead players will be keen to give valuable "insight" into the game, please refrain from revealing game-changing information (eg. the identities of your fellow Mafia). Speculate, theorise and express bewilderment at dumb plays all you want, but remember that the chat is not leakproof and game-ruining information CAN get out.

Play to win.
You should try your best to help your team win while you are alive and in the game. Clearly not playing towards your win objective will be grounds for a modkill and personal ban from me. However, this does not mean that you should try to win by being a jerk to the other players so they all want to quit playing.

This also means that you cannot leave the game without a good reason. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. PM the host if you need to leave the game. However, please note that in most cases this will prevent you from being able to join another game in the near future. To be exempt from this penalty you will need to have an extremely good reason for leaving (and "I forgot I had homework/exams!!" does not count).
