TBT Mafia
Introduction:
The Halidom of Ylisse is under attack from within, it is up to you all to guide your Exalt in making decisions on who to lynch in order to save the Halidom from the Grimleal in their efforts to revive the Fell Dragon Grima. Determine who is trying to rot the kingdom from inside to prevent the horrible future that awaits you if you fail to heed the words of "Marth".
Roles will be sent out two hours before the start of the game. Wisdom of the Crowds will be in effect. The differences between Kingmaker and regular mafia is that only the King (Exalt) can lynch a person that day.
The game is typically very active, and the thread can get big quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game. You should spend at least 15 minutes per day on the game, just to keep up with what's happening and to vote. Naturally, that won't be enough time to make detailed analyses of your own, but it will be enough for you to bandwagon opinions on. This is obviously not the recommended playstyle, and you will contribute far more to your team if you spend more time on the game.

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. Posting screenshots of your inbox.
5. Posting or sharing any PM you receive from a host.
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. Posting a false role PM phrased/screenshotted 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.
Cheating is not tolerated here as it ruins the game for everyone. The mods and admins here CAN take action.
Replacements
This game uses replacements. Replacements will be made in the game until Night 2. If a player is modkilled during the designated time, then they will be replaced by a player on the replacement list.
Time Cycle:
This game will follow a 36 hour day and 24 hour night cycle. In case I am not able to post around deadline, any votes after the 36 hour mark will not count and the game will be put on halt until the night post is up. Currently the deadline is 6 PM (EST -5), but that is subject to change. Actions will be accepted up to and including the posted time, but not after.
Posting:
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.
Activity:
You must post in this thread once per day/night cycle and vote every day while you are alive. If you fail to do so, you will be modkilled.
Spam:
Spam is not tolerated, nor is any off-topic material. This also means you should condense your posts when possible. 15 one-liners in 30 minutes is unacceptable.
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.
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 wash over to the rest of the forum, it's just a game.
Play to win.
That said, you should try your best to help your team win while you are alive and in the game. 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 your host if you need to leave the game.
You have been warned.
Out of thread communication:
It is common for mafia to use a medium outside of TBT such as QuickTopics or IRC to communicate during the game. Please be mindful that other players may be more tech savvy than you and they may attempt impersonate members of your team or attempt to infiltrate your chat. You use these media at your own risk.
Voting rules:
1. Voting is to be done here!
2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote Username. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I will update vote counts whenever I get the chance.
3. Unlike typical mafia, you cannot unvote. King's game, the king is absolute.
4. No conditional voting.
5. You may vote for yourself.
Curious bystanders can PM me if they want the link to the observers' quicktopic.

If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so. I will not compensate for ignorance!
Roles
These are all the possible roles in the game. I will not disclose how many of each role there are. There is no guarantee that all roles will be used. A player's exact role will be revealed upon their death.
Players will be randomly assigned roles when signups close and just before the game starts.
Shepard Roles
Villager (Townie)
You are a regular member of the town, with no special abilities but a bucket on your head. However, you possess right to express your opinion to your Exalt. You are a valuable resource this game, if you all die out along with the Kingmaker the Halidom will fall.
Phila (Kingmaker)
You are the kingmaker, you declare the king for the day. Town, mafia, and lover can all become king. You cannot. You do this by PMing the host at the start of day. If you do not declare king 12 hours in, I will choose for you and you will be modkilled.If you die, you will be replaced by a fellow townie.
Sorcerer (Detective)
You are a sorcerer, once per Night phase, you may divine the role of a player from the host.
Archer (Vigilante)
You are a Archer, strong and graceful with your bow. Once per game, you may PM the host with who you want to shoot. If your hit overlaps with a Mafia hit, your's will be cancelled. In the case of overlapping Vigilante hits, the person who sent their hit in first will go through. You will not know why your hit was cancelled, but will have that hit refunded. If you are roleblocked, your hit will also be refunded.
Great Knight (Veteran)
You've been around the block a few times and know how to handle yourself. You have two night lives. Given your unique status, your job is to network well, get vital information out to town, and make Mafia waste hits.
Cleric/Priest (Doctor)
You are a town healer. Every night you can PM the host with the name of a player. You will protect that player from one hit for that night. You cannot protect yourself, but can protect other Doctors. Multiple Doctors can protect one player. If the number of hits exceeds the number of protections, that player will die. You cannot protect the same player two nights in a row. Both you and the person you protect will be informed if a hit was successfully prevented. The town will know nothing of the event. If you protect a Veteran and they are hit, your save is used up before their extra life.
Chrom (Hero)
You are the hero, everyone in the Halidom of Ylisse respects you and would gladly give their lives to save yours if called upon. If you are lynched by the Exalt then the Halidom will rise up and kill the Exalt for killing you. You have no night action.
Exalt (King)
You are the king. Only you can decide who is lynched for the day. Once day is up, you go back to being your previous role.
THIRD PARTY
Virion (Lover)
You're the great noble from the continent of Valm, pining after every women (or male to fit the game) you determine is beautiful. You have until Night 1 to choose a fellow player to love, if they (or you) are killed you will commit suicide. You work to help your companion win the game for the both of you. If you love mafia, you will be given access to Mafia chat but you do not add to mafia KP.
Grimleal Roles
Revenant (Mafia Goon)
You are just a minion. You have nothing except your voice and your vote to corrupt the town. You can deliver KP on behalf of the Mafia every night. Your ability as a group is to kill off whoever you decide to during the Night, including a fellow Mafia.
Entombed (Roleblocker)
You are a emtombed beast. Every night you can PM the host with the name of a player. That player will be unable to perform any actions during the night. You cannot roleblock the same player two nights in a row. In addition, you continue to contribute KP to the Mafia every night as well as use your ability.
Validar (Godfather)
You are the Godfather visiting from the neighboring country of Plegia and have the ability to decide what role you will return as when checked by a Detective. This must be chosen on Day One, otherwise you will revert to the default Townie role. Once chosen, your role is fixed for the rest of the game.
Just to make it clear, all abilities are night abilities, and are to be carried out by PM'ing the host. You are free (but ill-advised) to publicly announce your intention, but you must PM the host for it to be actioned. All abilities will also be resolved at the end of the night, so Detectives will not be told the result of their check until daybreak.
Mafia and Vigilantes will not be directly told if their actions were successful. They will have to read the Day Post and work out what happened from that.
The Mafia will designate a single member of its faction to deliver each kill or send them in one at a time.
Mafia Killing Power (KP) is # of mafia/2 rounded up. KP is calculated at the start of the Night phase.
Town win condition: Eradicate all Mafia.
Mafia win condition: Create a scenario where Town cannot win (ie. Mafia equal or outnumber Town)
Lover win condition: You and your lover survive until their win condition is met.
