Introduction - Basic Rules of Mafia

In its simplest form, Mafia is a game of uninformed majority (Town) versus Informed Minority, (Mafia). This is seperated into the 2 teams, Town and 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.

*I'd also like to note that this game would preferable accept players who have only played under 5 games or completely new players, but it is also fine to sign up if you feel confident in your current play in mafia.

WARNING

Mafia requires time commitment. Atleast 30 minutes of solid effort should be required every day. As part of the time commitment, Mafia requires a great deal of reading. Most people are actually quite poor at reading comprehension and playing Mafia is a great way to improve your reading ability, as well as your writing and ability to think and argue logically.

Set-up information

This game will require 9 players. If you have any friends who you think would be interested, refer them to the game! This is actually a really fun game once you give it a shot, let your friends know on or off site!

This game uses Matrix 6.

31-shot bulletproofMafia GoonTracker

For this set up, I will choose 1 row or column from this table. Depending on what I choose, that will be the set-up of this game and it will be up to you the players to work with whatever set-up was chosen. For example: if I were to choose row 3, then the game would feature 1 Mafia goon, a 1-shot bulletproof, and a Tracker. If I chose this, then the rest of the roles would be filled up with Vanilla townies and 1-2 extra Mafia Goons. For your convenience, I have placed all of the Role PM's in the following spoiler~

There will also be unique role names for each role. Role names do not effect the game in any manor, its just there for flavor.

You have no special abilities.

Game set-up rules

PMs:
PMs and other out-of-thread communication are NOT allowed UNLESS you are explicitly told otherwise. Any players doing so will be modkilled without warning.

Activity:
You 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.

Civility:
While mafia is known to get heated sometimes, I as a host ask that you please do not personally insult other players personally. This includes namecalling, profanity, shaming, bullying, etc. Arguing about the game is acceptable, but please know that there is a fine line between being rude and playing the game.

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

Time Cycle and Phases:
The game will generally follow a 48 hour day and 24 hour night cycle. If I am not online and available to post when a phase is set to end, the game will be paused until I can post. No actions will be accepted during this period. The final deadline will always be 8:00 PM CDT. (9 PM EDT, there will be a counter this game).

Day:
During Day, the town must choose a lynchee. If the number of votes reaches Majority, that person is lynched. Day will always be 48 hours long.
Night will follow after the lynch post has been published by me.

Night:
During Night, you can send in night actions. Night always ends after 24 hours, regardless of when all actions are submitted. This to prevent activity speculation as to who used what.




General Mafia Rules​

Cheating:
Cheating includes (but 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.

YOU MAY ONLY COPY AND PASTE TEXT FOR USE AS EVIDENCE. POSTING SCREENSHOTS OR ANY OTHER NON-TEXT EVIDENCE IS CONSIDERED CHEATING. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS EVIDENCE THAT IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE FOR ALL PLAYERS TO CHECK (eg. post counts in a thread). IT IS BEST IF YOU CHECK WITH ME FIRST.

Cheating is not tolerated here as it ruins the game for everyone. The mods and admins here CAN take action and at worst is punishable by site ban.

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.

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 at times. Please keep it civil and remember that what happens in Mafia should stay in Mafia. Don't let things wash over to the rest of the forum, it's only a game.

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.

You have been warned.




Voting rules

1. This game uses Plurality Lynch. Whenever a player has the most votes on them at the end of a day phase, they are lynched and out of the game til it ends.
2. Voting will be done in the voting thread: [link]
3. Please use the format: ##VOTE: Username. I'm not requiring this, but it makes it easier for me to notice.

Thank you KarlaKGB for introducing mafia to TBT!
Thank you to Dolby, who I will inevitably ask to make post filters for me. /s




Coaching

If you would like to be a coach, please use the following code and PM it to me, do not post it in this thread. i will be reviewing each application that I recieve and I will decide from there.

Please keep in mind that this is a VOLUNTARY job. You are not playing the game, your ultimate goal should be to help the new player you're assigned and NOT to control how they play. Give them advice, tips, and help them create their reads.

HTML:
[B]How many games have you played on the site?
How would you rank yourself in mafia on a scale of 1-10?
How do you think you would help a new player in the game?
Are you certain that your schedule gives you time for this?[/B]


If you haven't read all of the rules, please go back and do so.
I won't compensate for ignorance!

Also please keep in mind that sign-ups are not first come first serve, a completely new player has priority over someone who has played over 5 games.

Not sure if I'll be able to play. So... I like to be in the Obs for now.
 
I'm willing to coach for this one. I sent you a filled out form in the last attempt to get a newbie game up so the info is the same.
 
i am interested in participating (0~0)~


You should very much say "/in" then
There are coaches and people in place to help you along he way, so it's considerably less pressure

Ness I can be an IC, and play but still help people if you can have enough to start this
