In Mafia, there is a certain number of players, divided into two main groups: the Town, and the Mafia. If you are a member of the town, you win if, at any point, all non-town members are dead. If you are a member of the Mafia, you win if the Mafia ever comprises a majority of the remaining players. (For example, if there are three mafia members and two town members left, the mafia wins.) If you are neither town nor mafia, your winning conditions should be explained in the PM I send you. The way you go about winning is simple: you kill off people you don't like, or that you figure are most suspicious.
Here's how it works:
Each game 'day' is divided into day and night. During the day, players post in the thread, trying to decide which members of the town are really members of the mafia. Please post carefully! Each player gets one vote per day, and whenever one player has a majority of the town's votes, that player is lynched by the town, and is eliminated.
During the day, the town tries to decide who is acting evil, and debates about who to lynch. However, the mafia will try to mislead the town into lynching a town member instead.
Each day lasts until one player is lynched. After a player is lynched, the day ends, and it becomes night. No player may post in the thread during the night. During the night, the mafia chooses one player to hit, and will PM me their choice. That player is killed, and eliminated. Also during the night, some players may have night abilities (detailed after the game begins. If they wish to use these, they PM me with their actions during the night).
Play continues in this day/night sequence until either side's victory condition is met, at which point the game is over.
Players with beneficial night abilities would be best to keep them secret, so as not to become instant nightkill targets for the mafia. Therefore, it's usually best to keep your abilities secret for at least the first portion of the game.
Summary of Rules-
Do's:
1. Say 'Vote: <name here>'. Please bold.
2. Send your PMs only to me, within the time limit.
3. Stay active. Try to post at least once a 'Day'. I will replace inactives.
4. PM if you have any questions or wish to be replaced.
Don'ts:
1. Don't edit your posts.
2. Don't quote my PMs.
3. Don't communicate outside this thread, unless allowed by your role.
4. Don't post during the night in the main thread.
Using items: Depending on your role you may start the game with items. You may only use items at night unless specified otherwise. You may, however, give your item to someone else during the day. This can be done by PM'ing me with the item name and who you wish to give it to.
*note* Specific gameplay functions may be changed during the game if I feel it is largely unbalanced. I will try to do the best that I can because I want this game to be fun and involve everyone and relate to the theme as much as possible.
Also, due to concerns, I will give time limits of 48 hours for nights (36 for you to send in roles, 12 for me to sort them out and reopen) and for days I will decide on a suitable time limit (around 6 days). Don't worry, I'll post the limit at the beginning of each day along with the count for a lynch.
