Do you like psychological warfare and/or Pokemon?

Trouble has come to the world of Pokemon. The dastardly Team Rocket has released a slew of brainwashed and evil Pokemon into the world to cause chaos and corruption. Pokemon all over the region have banded in an alliance to stop Team Rockets evil deeds. The newly formed Pokealliance has sworn to stop the evil from spreading but have become aware of Team Rocket spies amongst their ranks. In order to stop the alliance from falling apart, they must first out the scum amongst their ranks.

Mafia is a game pitting an uninformed majority versus an informed minority. The good Pokemon while plentiful, do not have information on their side. The evil Team Rocket Pokemon are limited in number but have the advantage of knowing the alignments of players in the game. This fact is the key to good analysis. Remember, this is a game of psychology and behavior analysis. A third uninformed party will enter the game on the first night.

Signups:
Signups are done in this thread simply by typing "/in". If the game is full but you wish to be a replacement type "/replace" and you will be added to a replacement list. Any modkill taking place during Day 1/Night1/Day 2 will result in a replacement instead.

I will not accept players that are in more than 1 game. I count a Mini Mafia as 50% of a game. So if you are in: 2 mini mafias, 1 normal sized game, 1 mini mafia game, or 0 games you are eligible to play. I will not accept players on Qatol's ban list.

Modkills:
A modkill is when a player is forcefully removed from the game (or replaced by another player) by a mod. This will result in a ban from future mafia games depending on the severity of your infraction. I am not afraid to modkill and I am very much inclined to modkill players who spam and flame. You will be warned on your first infraction but if you choose to ignore a mod warning you will be shown no mercy.

You will be modkilled for:
Flaming other players
Incessant spamming
Inactivity (failure to vote and/or failure to post once a cycle)
Cheating

Cheating:
Cheating includes (but is not limited to) the following and will get you banned from future games:
1. Posting after death. You may have one goodbye post, but it may not contain any potential game-changing information.
2. Betraying your role and ruining the game for everyone by doing something like hand out your mafia's member list to the town.
3. Logging on to someone else's account / checking their PMs / looking over someone's shoulder to get their role.
4. Comparing role PM times to determine roles.
5. Posting screenshots of your inbox. This is not a photoshop competition.
6. Posting any PM you receive from a host.
7. Editing posts. Editing posts is not allowed for any reason. The mods can see your edits, and if you are caught, you will look suspicious. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be owned.Please do not edit; this is the one part of the site where it is okay to be double posting, even triple-posting. While I ask for everybody to post as concisely as possible, post again if you have to edit anything.

Voting rules:
1. Voting is done in a separate thread, located here. Please keep votes there, and only votes. The third post of this thread will contain the vote count.
2. Please vote in the following format, to make it easier for everyone to read: ##Vote Qatol. While the bolding in itself is not necessarily needed, it makes it easier on everybody's eyes. Please bold. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I will update votes whenever I get the chance.
3. You cannot autochange your vote to the losing or winning bandwagon.
4. You may vote for yourself if you're crazy. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game.
5. In the event of a tie the person with the most votes first wins over the other person.
6. Voting is mandatory. You may not abstain.
7. When voting for a double lynch, include a vote ##Vote: Double Lynch with your vote for the lynch target on that day. The double lynch will become active during the next day.

Communication:
With the exception of certain players, all communication is to be done in this thread. You may not send private messages to other players or communicate in any way on irc/IM/etc. about this game. We are using the honor system. If someone attempts to talk to you through PM illegally, please report it as this is cheating and ruins the spirit of the game.

Team Rocket are allowed to communicate through PM and other means.

Lynches:
Every day the town must "lynch" a target. This is done by voting in the voting thread. The town has access to 1 double lynch which they must also vote on (becomes active the next day). During a double lynch day the town may vote for two separate targets to be lynched.

Pokemon do not get lynched, but rather returned to their Pokeballs and stored in Bills PC. For the sake of simplicity and familiarity it will be referred to as lynching but the flavor text will differ.

Clues:
There are no clues in this game. The goal of this game is to promote behavioral/post analysis as the main tool for hunting and catching mafia players NOT analysis of clues and objective circumstances.

Time Cycle:
This game will follow a loose 48/24 hour day/night cycle. During the day, voting will be open in a separate thread, and some roles with secret day actions will need to PM me their day actions. During the night, all roles with night actions will need to PM those to me. The official "time" for the cycle shift will be 1200 KST (TL time) or 7:00 PM PST/10:00 EST. I sometimes work late and there is a possibility this time is subject to change unless Coagulation can write the post. I will always err on the side of lengthening the day/night rather than shortening it. Please send all night actions to both myself AND to Coagulation.

Credits:
Thanks to anybody who's ever hosted a game and to all the people that try to make this forum a good place to play Mafia.

Qatol and Incognito helped me balanced this game. Thanks very much to both of you. RebirthOfLeGenD also helped me create the role list.

In a game of Mafia, each player is assigned a role. Or in this case, each player is a certain Pokemon which is randomly chosen by the mod. Different Pokemon have different powers which may be used during the Night Phase but most have no powers at all. To use a power, you must PM me what you choose to do with your power at night.

For instance, if you are Alakazam you may send me the name of a player you wish to use your psychic powers on. I will send you the result when the night is over.
