As usual, please only join if you're active enough (as in, you can post at least once a day, preferrably more than that.)
Not posting can get you removed from the game, which can cause serious balance problems for the game (it may even end the game).
Those who have played Mafia before should pay attention to the bolded text, to see what rules we're using this time.==Short game summary==
Mafia is a game where there are two teams: the mafia and the townies. The mafia know eachother, but the townies have no idea who is who. Both try to kill the other team. The townies do this by voting at day, the mafia do this by deciding who to kill during the night.
==Game rules==
--Starting the game--
To start, we'll need
10 players (I don't count as a player). Just post in this topic if you want to join. Once we have 10 players, I will randomly divide the roles between you.
An unkown number of people will become mafia, an unknown number of people will become cops, and the people without a special role will be vanilla townies. The game will be played in rounds:
we'll start with day 1, followed by night 1, followed by day 2, etc.
--Day voting--
During the day, everybody (even the mafia) discusses who may be mafia, and votes to lynch somebody.
Voting is done like this:
-To vote for somebody, post
Vote: PLAYERNAME
-To change vote, post
Unvote: OLDPLAYERNAME
Vote: NEWPLAYERNAME
-To not vote for anybody, post
Vote: Abstain
If any player receives more than half of the votes, he will be lynched at the end of the (game) day.
--Mafia--
An unknown number of people are mafia.
During the night,
the mafia will (together) kill one townie.
When there are no townies left, the mafia win.
When there are no mafia left, the townies win.
--Mafia recruit--
One of you will
betray the townies and join the mafia at the start of day 3.
This person will not know that he is the mafia recruit until day 3, however the mafia does know who is the recruit.
(Note that the mafia may NOT reveal to the recruit that he is the recruit.)
--Cop--
An unknown number of people will be cops. They are on the side of the Townies.
Every night, each cop will choose somebody to investigate.
I will then tell the cop whether the investigated person is on the side of the mafia (guilty) or on the side of the townies (innocent).--Other rules--
*Never show anybody the PM I sent you with your role,
or reveal your role in any other way. Anybody caught doing so will be modkilled.
*Dead people can't talk. If you're dead (or not in the game at all), don't post in the topic or try to influence the game in any other way.
*The day ends when everybody has chosen to vote or abstain. If people take too long to decide, they abstain by default.
Maximum day duration will be 24 hours.*The night ends when the mafia has chosen who to kill and the cops have chosen who to investigate. Again, if people take too long, it will count as if they didn't choose anybody.
Maximum night duration will also be 24 hours.*If there is disagreement among the mafia about who should be killed, and I receive different choices from different mafia, nobody will be killed.
*After every night, I will make a post stating which person has been killed, and
state whether he was innocent or guilty. That person is then removed from the game.
