*Incognito is helping me co-host this game. Any questions or night actions can be directed towards him or myself.
TL Mafia XXXV + Show Spoiler [Important Posts] + Intro: Mafia is an educated guessing game of epic proportions. The objective of the game is to lynch or kill all mafia members before they outnumber the rest of the town. It's much like a game of poker because mafia members are also part of the town during the day and may manipulate the vote to their liking.
This mafia game works slightly different than the normal one (read: Mafia), so I'll explain it a bit more. During the night mafia will collectively decide on and send in their hits to me, who they want dead (it's a good idea to discuss them during day so you know ahead of time). Any player with a special role that can act during the night must PM me their actions each and every night.
If the mafia at any time outnumber or equal the townspeople, they win the game. The goal for the townspeople is to lynch all the members of the mafia by whatever analysis, teamwork, or guile they have. The goal of the mafia, of course, is to kill the townspeople with murderous precision.
The game is typically very active and there are usually numerous walls of text to wade through. If you are not a person who likes reading then I highly suggest you don't play the game because it is essential to being informed within the game. I will not compensate for ignorance.
Rules: (subject to change)
Posting Etiquette: In the past, many players have complained or quit because of the excessive badmouthing and pointless flaming. If you are posting aggressively and know you couldn't get away with it anywhere else on this site, it probably definitely isn't okay here. Besides, contrary to what you may think, yelling at someone is a great way to convince people to disagree with your arguments. Please do not post inappropriately, or it will earn you a warning based on mod discretion. If you choose to ignore the warning, you will be modkilled and banned from future games. Examples of inappropriate posts include excessive cursing and vulgarity, among other things. Incognito and I have the final say on whether or not a post is inappropriate or not. Be warned, I will be extremely intolerant of flaming this game. You get one warning to cool down, and if it continues actions will be taken. This is supposed to be an objective game, folks. Let's keep it that way.
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. Anybody can see if you edited a post, and if you are caught, you will look suspicious. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be owned. I do have close connections to people who can check pre-edited material if you are truculent. 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. 8. Spam is not tolerated, nor is any off-topic material. Play Mafia here. Do not discuss Proleague here. Do not talk about Starcraft II here. Play Mafia here, or beware. 9. Play to win.
Voting rules: 1. Voting is done in a separate thread, located here. Please keep votes there, and only vote there. 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. 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 (or loses) over the other person. 6. Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain. 7. If you miss a vote or fail to post during one day cycle, you will receive be modkilled. Exceptions will only occur if I am notified ahead of time.
Modkills: Inactivity has been a problem in every mafia game so far. Inactivity is most easily defined as failure to vote. If you do miss a vote, you will be modkilled. Special consideration will be exercised if a player in danger of being modkilled by this manner has been an active contributor in the thread. If something comes up and you know you will miss the vote, PM me in advance about it to let me know and you will be spared. Remember again: abstaining votes are NOT allowed. And once again, flaming is not tolerated. Keep it civil, or else you will receive a quick lightning bolt to the back of the head. Furthermore, you must post at least once in this thread per game cycle (from the start of the night to the end of the next day) to avoid being modkilled. Simply voting doesn't work. This is to prevent lurkers from lurking. Anyone who is modkilled may not play in one of my games until they have proven themselves to be active players in another game. I am hoping I never have to modkill anyone. I enjoy modkills, please, let me use lightning. Please remain active so I do not have to. However, do not just simply spam one-liners or worthless posts. Strategic modkills are NOT allowed, either. A strategic modkill is defined as anything that will better the position of your team. You cannot threaten with the words "well if you kill X and he's not mafia I'll get myself modkilled" or anything in that vein. Essentially, you may not use your non-majority-decided death as a bargaining chip. If you do happen to be modkilled, you will be put on Qatol's ban list, and cannot play in an "official" game till you have served your sentence.
You have been warned. + Show Spoiler +Something burning-hot and life-ending this way comes. Signups: Signups are open till thirty people have signed up. There is no preference other than one moderator that has requested a slot. The game will most likely start sometime close to, or right after, New Year's.
Clues: There are no clues.
Time Cycle: This game will follow a strict 24 hour night/48 hour day cycle. In case I am not able to post around deadline, any votes after the 48 hour mark will not count and the game will be put on halt until the night post is up. Currently the tentative time deadline is 03:00 GMT (+00:00), but that is subject to change.
Credits: Thanks to anybody who's ever hosted a game. This list grows ever longer.
The balance crew (you know who you are) for helping to make this setup reasonably balanced.
If you have not read all the rules, please go back and do so. I do not compensate for ignorance!

Roles
This is a semi-open setup. Roles will be disclosed, but role counts will remain hidden. Read this section carefully, it may be subject to change.
Please note: all roles with night actions please send a PM detailing your action to both myself and Incognito. The results of all night actions will be returned with the posting of the next day post.
Townie You may just be a normal player but you are the backbone of the town. Your goal, with the special roles of the town, is to help bring the Mafia to justice. You get no special powers but the ability to vote during day. Blue Roles may look pretty but the real power lies with you!
Detective You have the ability to make night investigations. Once per night phase, you may PM me to ask for the role of one player.
Medic You have the ability to prevent one hit on a player of your choice during the night. You may not protect yourself. Each paramedic can only stop one hit and as such if the number of mafia is greater than the number of paramedics on a player then that player will die. You will know if you saved the person. The person will know if he was saved. If you are protecting a veteran, and they are hit, your ability supercedes theirs. You cannot protect yourself. A medic can protect someone the night she/he gets killed. They won't be notified of their save though, since they are dead.
Vigilante You may, only once during the game, kill a player of your choice during the night. A clue will be left behind just like a mafia killing pointing to you. If your hit overlaps with mafia or another vigilante then I will cancel it and they will kill the person instead. In the case of overlapping vigilantes, the hit that was sent first is the one that goes through. In both cases you will not know who caused your hit to be canceled and you will be able to use your hit anytime after that during the game. Medic protection may block your hit, and, if it does, you will have used your killing ability. A vigilante can kill someone the during a night where she/he gets killed. You may not use your ability on night 1.
Mad Hatter You may lay bombs on one player per night (maximum 2). If you are killed you will throw the switch and detonate them, killing the players (if they aren't protected by extra night lives, paramedics, or bodyguards). You may remove any number of them from players at any time during the night to get them back, but if a player is lynched with one on them while you are still alive you lose that bomb for good. Bombs are refunded if the target is killed during the night.
Veteran You get two night lives instead of one! This means it takes at least two successful hits in one night to kill you, or one hit on each of two separate nights. A veteran will be told when they lose one of their night lives. If you get lynched, you die, regardless of whether you have an extra night life remaining.
Miller This player is a townie in every way except that if a DT role checks this player, the DT will be told the Miller is a Mafia. The Miller is told that they are a Townie. The Miller will be revealed as a Miller upon their death. The miller is on the side of the Townies, and wins if they win.
Mafia Your goal is to eliminate everyone else in the town. Your ability, as a group, is killing off whomever you decide on at night and knowing the role of each other player in your mafia. You may kill your own members. Mafia killing power will be determined when the game begins. You also must choose the Godfather from among yourselves. If you do not choose by night 1, I will randomly choose for you.
Mafia Roleblocker Once per night, you may send in a PM detailing a person you would like to block. That person will be notified that they were blocked, and if the person being blocked has a night action, he or she will not be able to use it. Please note that this ability only pertains to active actions. Passive abilities, such as the Veteran's extra lives, cannot be blocked by mafia.
Mafia Framer Once per night, you may send in a PM detailing a person you would like framed. A framed person will show up as Mafia to any Detective rolechecks.
Godfather The Godfather has the ability to decide what role he will appear to be when a Detective role checks him. It may be any role and must be chosen Day 1 or he will default to Townie role. After your role is chosen you may not change it after that; decisions are final for the whole game. For this game, Framer may be chosen as Godfather, but Roleblocker cannot.
Double Lynch
Usable two times per game, the town lynches two people instead of one. This means on the next day everyone gets two votes to distribute between two different people. The double lynch is activated by voting for it in addition to a player (or players if a double lynch is currently activated). The vote must exceed half the number of players voting that day. IE: If there are 30 players voting then the town needs 16 votes to use a double lynch. Double lynches may be voted on starting Day 2. Double lynches may be used on consecutive days. Players cannot place all of their votes on one player when a double lynch is in effect.
Role PM Examples: + Show Spoiler +Welcome to TL Mafia XXXV! Your role is: TowniePM flamewheel or Incognito if you have any questions about your role. Welcome to TL Mafia XXXV! Your role is: Blue RolePM flamewhee1 or Incognito if you have any questions about your role.

With this being a game with out-of-thread communication, IRC is just another way for players to confer, and there's nothing in the rules prohibiting it. Barring obviously bannable offenses, what players want to do with their out-of-thread communication is up to them. In the same sense that a player has leeway and final judgment over how and when to use PMs, a player has the freedom to choose whether or not to utilize IRC.
To address the issue of pernicious usage of host identity: neither Incognito nor myself would make announcements in IRC, since that's what the thread is for. Furthermore, we would not engage in game-related discussion. As moderators, we are not here to direct the flow of the game; we simply enforce predetermined boundaries and reveal information.

Please note that this is a Boot Camp game.
Ver, Foolishness, and BloodyC0bbler have volunteered to act as guides for players seeking help. If you feel like it, you may contact them during the game and they will assist you. If you don't know which one to talk to, you can talk to me and I'll direct you to one of them.

Since this game runs concurrently with Ace's PYP 3, I will only allow you to play in one of these games.

Fuck man, did you guys see the OSL last night? Also make an exception. I can play both!

8. Spam is not tolerated, nor is any off-topic material. Play Mafia here. Do not discuss Proleague here. Do not talk about Starcraft II here. Play Mafia here, or beware.

There's 3 of 6 mafia remaining...so the town is already half way to victory before the game has started?

Flamewheel's also disappointed at OSL brackets so he's making the mafia reflect that.

As stated, I will not allow people to play in two games at once. Invariably, a person ends up spending an inordinate percentage of time in one game or the other. At this point, it looks like you'll have to choose (and PYP is very interesting/fun, not going to fault anybody) but perhaps this one game rule will change when I talk to my spectral counterpart.

I really wanted to host a game but since I haven't hit close to 2000 I guess I can spam in this game until I get there. \o/
