Introduction:

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.

Rules:

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. Betting items outside of the game in exchange for in-game benefits.
10. Sharing accounts with other players. Only you may post on your account.
Cheating is not tolerated here. The punishment will be severe.

Posting:

Mod Font:
This is mod font. It is reserved for moderators. Please do not use it.

Question Font:
This is question font. Use it to ask the moderators questions about the rules. Please do us a favor and read the rules before you ask anything.

Activity:
You must post in this thread five times per day/night cycle and vote every day while you are alive. If you fail to do so, you will be modkilled.

Smurfs:

Smurfs must PM the host because TL doesn't allow multiple accounts otherwise. If the host is unaware of smurfs, you (and/or your smurf) can be banned for having multiple accounts.

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

Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be modkilled. 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.

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, Qatol, or Flamewheel before involving the TL staff. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can appeal to the TL staff normally.

Reporting posts:
The report button is a nice feature for regular TL, but not for this forum. We prefer to deal with things in house if possible to avoid confusion among the TL staff. If you have a problem with how someone is posting, talk to the host, co-host, Qatol, or Flamewheel before using your report button. Please do not use your report button for anything other than inappropriate posts which you feel are not being dealt with adequately.

Ban discussions:
Please wait until this game is over to talk about modkills and bans resulting from this game.

Play to win.
This means you play your best to help your team win while you are alive and in the game. However, this does not mean that you should try to win by being a jerk to the other players so they all want to quit playing.

This also means that you cannot leave the game without a good reason without a ban. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. PM your host if you need to leave the game.

You have been warned.

Voting rules:

1. Voting is done (in a separate thread, located http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=266004). Do not PM me your vote.
2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote Qatol. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I will update vote counts whenever I get the chance.
3. No conditional voting.
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).
6. Voting is mandatory. You may (NOT) abstain.

Signups:

This game is open to anyone.

Game-specific rules:

Modkills:
This game follows the TL Mafia Ban List. If you are modkilled, your punishment will go beyond being eliminated from this game. Please refer to it for questions about your punishment. If you want to use this game to sit out your ban, please PM Qatol or post in the Ban List.

Replacements
This game uses replacements. Replacements will be made in the game until forever. If a player is modkilled during the designated time, then they will be replaced by a player on the replacement list.

Clues:
There are no clues.

PMs
PMs are not allowed in this game.

Time Cycle:
This game will follow a (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 deadline is Sunday, Sep 18 11:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00), but that is subject to change.

Credits:
Thanks to anyone who has ever hosted a game. This list grows ever longer.
Thanks to everyone who helped balance this game.

If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so. I will not compensate for ignorance!

This is a closed setup. No roles or numbers will be revealed. You may not quote your role PM. You may paraphrase it if you wish. Do not rely on flavor to win the game – all non-Town players have been provided with safeclaims. Flips are not hidden.

Here is a sample power Town PM:

Hello and welcome to Middle Earth!

You are Elendil, King of Men, Town Sample PM Example.

[image loading]

Passive Abilities
Invincible: You cannot be killed by any means, including lynch.

Active Abilities
[Oneshot]The Wrath of Men: One time during the game during the day phase, you may destroy those who would oppose you.

Special
You’re not actually in the game cause you aren’t alive anymore, duh.

You win when Evil has been purged from Middle Earth.

Here is a sample Vanilla Townie PM:

Hello and welcome to Middle Earth!

You are Elendil, King of Men, Vanilla Townie.

[image loading]

Unfortunately you have only your voice and your vote.

You win when Evil has been purged from Middle Earth.

Here is a sample Mafia PM:

Hello and welcome to Middle Earth!

You are Morgoth, the First Dark Lord, Mafia Sample PM Example

Passive Abilities
Vala: You are a God, once the mightiest of the immortal Valar. Thus you are completely invincible.

Active Abilities
The Dark Lord: At any time during the game, you may kill everyone voting for you. How imba.

Factional Ability
You may carry out kills on behalf of the Mafia. Your personal kill flavor is “utterly obliterated.”

Special
You're actually chained in the Void and unable to play. Sorry!

Safeclaim: You know that Manwë, King of the Valar is not in the game.

You win when the Mafia outnumbers every other faction in the game.

Your allies are:
NAME

Special Mechanics
The One Ring is out there somewhere, in the hands of someone. The One Ring can change hands in three different ways:

1. The bearer is killed. The killer will then take The Ring from the previous bearer’s dead body. In the event that two people both killed the bearer, the first one to arrive will take the Ring (kill order will not be disclosed).

2. The bearer is lynched. The Ring will pass on to a random player who voted for the bearer.

3. Special abilities. Some players may have the ability to steal The Ring without using lethal force.

4. Bearer gives it away to a target.

Note that only certain roles will have the willpower to freely give away The Ring. The Ring will give advantages to its bearer, so be cautious about having it fall into the wrong hands. To clarify, everyone may attempt to give away the Ring once they have it. You will only discover whether or not you possess the necessary willpower to give it away after trying via its success or failure. The Ring is passed at night.

There may be other items that are out there as well. Same rules will apply to them if they exist.

Every person with a killing role has their own unique kill flavour.
