Ver and Qatol have agreed to be town-oriented coach for this game. However, Qatol should be your emergency-backup coach, as he is often busy!
Coagulation and RebirthOfLeGenD have agreed to help coach the scum team for this game. All you scum players looking for tips can bug them both nonstep for help at your leisure. :D
Note that coaches will not play the game for you, but feel free to bounce analysis and ideas off of them, and ask for help if you really don't know which direction to go. They're here for you! Use them!
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. If the mafia at any time outnumber or equal the townspeople, they win. The town's goal is to lynch all the members of the mafia.
The game is typically very active, so the thread will get big quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game. If you do not have the time or patience to read the whole thread, do not play. I will not compensate for ignorance.
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 hand 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. Comparing role PM times to determine roles.
5. Posting screenshots of your inbox.
6. Posting any PM you receive from a host.
7. Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
8. Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
9. Using anything other than your in-game resources as a bargaining chip in the game. "If Bob isn't red, you can lynch me" is okay, but "If Bob isn't red, I'll pay you $100" and "If Bob isn't red, I'll delete my TL account" are not.
Cheating is not tolerated here. The punishment will be severe.
Smurfs / Shared Accounts / Coaching:
Smurfing is when you sign up for a game using an account other than your standard one for the purpose of hiding your identity. If you are smurfing, I ask that you notify both of the hosts when you sign up for the game.
Sharing an account is not allowed in this game. Sharing an account is defined as more than one person having access to an account and using it for the purpose of playing the game.
We have a nice selection of coaches for this game! Make use of them!
If it is found that you have been smurfing or account sharing without notifying the hosts, you will be modkilled and punished as per the banlist rules. In addition:

Inappropriate posts:
If you want to post something insulting or inappropriate and know the TL mods would have a problem with it elsewhere, don't post it here. If you do, a host will warn you or modkill you and request that you be banned from future games. The hosts have the final say on what is inappropriate. If you do not like how someone is talking to you, please PM a host before involving the TL staff. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can appeal to the TL staff normally.

This way, there can be no confusion about what you have to do when you sit out a game, and that you have to do one of those two things, not just post in the game thread. I'm proposing this, because I would have completely forgot about posting in the ban thread or PMing Qatol if I had ever been banned before it was brought to my attention again, and would most likely have just posted in the game thread. So, if I forgot about it, I'm certain others have as well, and this would bring it to their attention when they open up a game with the intention of sitting out. I'm also assuming that doing one of those two things is adequate and you don't need to add a requirement to post in the game thread as well.
Let me know what you think: if it's needed or not, and if so and what changes could be made to make it more succinct or clear if necessary.
