The game has started now at Night 0. You have roughly 24 hours to discuss in the thread a game plan/whatever you want before the day begins and you can actually start voting for a lynch. Mafia can also communicate privately during this time.


You get a 24-hour grace period for discussion for plans/policies/poking inactive.

Just because someone didn't die doesn't mean you can't discuss anything =/

but then again, we're all newbies so.. eh.

yeah, I'm trying to correct that logic cause night 0 (from what I've seen) used to create plans and let town pressure inactives right off the bat so they can try and force errors from mafia players.

never take discussion hours for granted. just saying.

Day 1


Sometimes there is a town, a place on this earth, that sucks the good life from a man and leaves only darkness. It's a sort of darkness that obfuscates that kindness that may have existed in me at one time. But everything good must come to an end and here in Liquidia, it came to an end pretty quickly. Some things are better left unsaid, but I can no longer stand the silence. Charles Bukowski once said "You either get it on paper, or you jump off a bridge." and that is the case.

It was those damn mafia rats. Every town has a crime problem, we all turn a blind eye. But this was different. Racqueteering, prostitution, gambling, we all have our vices and the mafia were there to support it. The mafia didn't just break the law or kill, but they turned man against eachother. They broke families apart.

I could tell you the story of poor old Incognito. He was a gambling man and it wasn't too long before he started putting down wagers his paychecks couldn't cash. Those damn mafia animals took him for every penny he had. He couldn't make his payments and they didn't just take his money they took his fucking humanity. They ruined his relationship, they drove him out of his own home, out of his own skin and mind.

He killed himself.

I could tell you about Qatol the police officer who watched his son turn to drug addiction because of the shit they peddled on street corners. The man who did his best to keep his town safe from corruption and watched the police force that he slaved for turn to mob violence and bribes. It wasn't long before he was whacked so that the cops would fall under the mafia's influence.

When Qatol dies, our town fell apart.

And now the mafia hide in the shadows, amongst us. They turn neighbors against neighbors. A little girl was found dead in the park, stabbed by her friend. That's the sickness we people have now. It's a sad little circus. We'll all die one day and it is not death by which we will be measured but the life that we lived. You can't live here.

You can exist and that's all. Nothing lives here. No flowers bloom.

God put an end to this.
RIP Aaliyah

Should we just start accusing someone of being mafia to get people talking? I don't really know where to start the conversation.

Well give people some time so the timezones work out. imo start pressuring inactives and then look for people who barely post/act scummy and draw up a lynch against them.

still feeling pretty noob. i don't feel like i have much to add right now, but i don't want to not post for fear of looking inactive or being one of those 'barely posts'. so here are some questions:

how are clues usually worked into the game?
what's the usual proportion of blues to greens? does posting less really suggest someone is mafia?
what kind of lies are there for us to catch people with? it's not like mafia's going to falsely claim roles
what does a usual townie plan look like?

thanks in advance

You want to read the OP for game-specific mechanics like clues. OP states that there are no clues in this game, so clues aren't included here. Any normal game with clues, however, usually incorporates something (sig, profile picture/info) into a night post.

the usual proportion of blues:greens I am not sure about. I think it depends on the host and the game.

Posting less is considered detrimental to ideal town environment, where everyone is posting and contributing. Posting does not necessarily mean that one is pro town, however. Being inactive let's mafia blend in and it is why inactivity is frowned upon. Inactivity isn't really a sure mafia tell, but it is considered anti-town/scummy behavior.

Lies to catch mafia.. I would suggest reading some mafia games where there were fake roleclaims that contradicted behavior/posts or something like that. Mafia actually falsely role claims often if it will pay off, though it's usually a very heavily calculated move.

A usual townie plan just outlines and establishes ideal town environment and some policies (no inactivity, lynch all liars, etc.)

I'd start off by pressuring an inactive, who still hasn't posted yet... so

Also, I would recommend reading the Newbie Resources in the OP. Helps a ton when you're trying to play Mafia and really helps you learn the game.

However, too much posting is not good either, since then you can lose leads pretty easily in heaps of posts without meaning. On the other hand, scum when trying to blend with town tries to make posts that don't have any real value, in attempt to not give any information or help, or even make the discussion more chaotic.

as to role count, I'd say there's 1 roleblocker + 2 goons and 1 cop 1 doctor and rest townies.

In any case, we'll need to vote for someone anyway, so let's do this. Inactivity is not good. I was also wondering if banhammer/substitution will apply or not?

Also I am wondering about some of you if you're just using your lack of experience to avoid any kind of talk.

And I'm still waiting for Enervate to post some more. It's been a while now and I've seen nothing else just pointing of fingers at people who are willing to hunt the scum

So what would you say is your justification for voting on pHelix Equilibria? You know you're right though, not having posted seems like a good enough reason to kill them.

Although are we wasting our first kill by using it on a member that hasn't posted? I think someone who is the mafia would probably become more involved earlier.

He either starts posting or dies, simple like that, no? Also everyone has to vote, so for now I keep my vote on him, until I'm given reasons not to do that.

Sorry I was very asleep so I just woke up (10:50am where I'm at).

Since we don't have any conducive evidence of anyone who is mafia yet I think it is a safe bet to vote on pHelix. Unless he comes out to defend himself he is a safe bet because:

1) If he is mafia he is hiding from lack of posting
2) If he is a townie he is snot contributing anything to the posting/discussion
3) If he is afk he's useless to everyone anyways

I need to read some older mafia threads to get a better idea of how to post and tells for who is mafia or not.

So, until other evidence suggests otherwise:
