Newbie Mini Mafia XXXIII
+ Show Spoiler [Important Posts] +
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.
Rules:
Cheating:
Cheating includes (but is not limited to):
- Posting after death. You may have one polite goodbye post, but it may not contain any potentially game-changing information.
- Ruining the game by doing something like hand out your mafia's member list to the town or literally claim scum.
- Logging on to someone else's account to get their role or looking over someone's shoulder to get their role.
- Posting screenshots of anything.
- Posting any PM you received in connection to this game (except your role PM).
- Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
- Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
- Betting items outside of the game in exchange for in-game benefits.
- Sharing accounts with other players unless cleared by the host in advance. Otherwise, only you may post on your account.
Posting:
Activity:
You must post in this thread once per day/night cycle and vote every day while you are alive. If you fail to do so, you will be warned or modkilled at host's discretion.
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. If you don't want to ask your question in the thread then feel free to PM host/cohost and then you don't have to use this font. If you ask about something that's already in the thread then expect snide remarks to accompany your answer.
Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason ever. Editing will result in a warning or a modkill at host's discretion. 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 really have to edit anything.
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. This also means you should condense your posts when possible. 15 one-liners in 30 minutes is unacceptable.
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, Flamewheel, or Mig before involving the TL staff. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can appeal to the TL staff normally.
I'm going to warn you if you're being excessively unpleasant towards other players. If you disregard my warning then I'm going to modkill you. This is not DotA2.
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, cohost, flamewheel, or Mig 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.
Smurfs:
No smurfs.
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.
Out of thread communication:
It is common for mafia to use a medium outside of TL such as QuickTopics or IRC or Skype to communicate during the game. Please be mindful that other players may be more tech savvy than you and they may attempt impersonate members of your team or attempt to infiltrate your chat. You use these media at your own risk.
Voting rules:
- Voting is done in this thread. You cannot PM me your vote.
- Please vote in the following format: ##Vote: Qatol. Votes not done in the correct fashion may not be counted. Vote counts will be updated whenever intermittently.
- No conditional voting.
- You may vote for yourself. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game.
- In the event of a tie the person with the most votes first wins (or loses).
- Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain.
- You may vote for a no-lynch as you would any other lynch candidate
Signups:
This game is open to players with 3 or fewer games on this forum.. Signups will remain open until the game is full. I might let you join if you have more than three games but they were played a very long time ago.
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 flamewheel or post in the Ban List.
Replacements
This game uses replacements. If a player is modkilled then they will be replaced by a player on the replacement list if possible.
Clues:
There are no clues anywhere.
PMs
PMs are not allowed in this game.
Time Cycle:
This game will follow a 48 hour day/24 hour night cycle. In case I am not able to post around deadline, any votes after the 48 hour mark (that is any votes after 00:00 GMT (+00:00)) will not count. Currently the deadline is 00:00 GMT (+00:00), but that may be subject to change. Actions/votes will be accepted up to the posted time, but not after (23:59 GMT (+00:00) is fine but not 00:00 GMT (+00:00)).
Credits:
Thanks to anyone who has ever hosted a game. This list grows ever longer.
Thanks to everyone who helped balance this game.
Thanks to cohost.
Thanks to coaches.
Thanks to players.
If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so. I will not compensate for ignorance!

Setup Information
Overview:
The setup is a semi-open setup for 13 players; that is, all the possible roles are given but the number of each is not known. Not all of the roles will necessarily be present. Some of the roles may have limits on the number of times they may be used. This will be specified in the role PM. The game is inherently balanced for both sides depending on the types and numbers of roles that appear. The mafia win when they outnumber the town or they reach a scenario when this becomes inevitable. Town wins by eliminating all mafia members. Mafia kill power is always 1.
Town Roles
Renaissance man (Vanilla Town)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are a Renaissance man, in the old sense of the words. You are a man and it is the Renaissance. You don't have any special abilities but as a white male you can vote, so that is something. You are a vanilla townie, your vote is your voice.
Giovanni Bruno (Miller)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +Though you are a Renaissance man at heart you come from a long line of Aristotelian church fathers. If Galileo looks into your eyes he will see the beliefs of your ancestors staring back at him. You return red to all detective checks. You win with town.
Tycho Brahe/Johanes Kepler (Mason)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] + Though you hate each other passionately you share all of your data with each other. You hope to discover the reasons for the motions of the planets and to do that you have to talk with each other all the time. You are masons, a qt has been provided for you here
Galileo Galilei (Cop)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +As the self proclaimed inventor of the telescope you make sure to use it whenever the opportunity presents itself once at/every night you can tear your telescope away from the stars long enough to point it at one of the other players and stare deep into their eyes and learning the motive behind their actions. The players you check will return either a Renaissance sympathizer or an Aristotelian
Sir Issac Newton (Jailkeeper)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You really have this gravity thing down pat, so once at/every night you can stick someone flat to the ground both covering them from and kp which might be directed towards them and preventing them from using any night actions they may have.
Martin Luther (Roleblocker)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are a radical theologian with many a new idea, the problem with you is you don't know how to communicate them except by nailing them to people's doors. Once at/every night you can nail a manifesto to someone's door, this has the unfortunate consequence of preventing those people from leaving their own homes on the night in question. You are the town role blocker.
Leonardo Da Vinci (Vigilante)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You have invented a whole lot of crazy things, most recently you made yourself a gun, unfortunately you got distracted by the nature of water after making X bullets so you can only fire X times. You can shoot your gun a maximum of once per night at any target.
Mafia Roles
Aristotelian Thinker (Goon)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You may not have a lot of original thoughts of your own but Aristotle and his boys seem to have figured things out a while ago so you figure whatever he thought probably goes, but then again he did think that men had more teeth than women so maybe you should rethink this one. You are a goon, you don't have any special powers but you can think about the nature of falling bodies and how heavier ones clearly fall faster than lighter ones. Your fellow mafia players are [these guys]. A QT has been provided at (link here) for your convenience.
Robert Bellarmine (Roleblocker)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Robert Bellarmine, the pope's go to man in the fight against this philosophical renaissance. You run the inquisitorial courts and once per night you can 'ask' another player to appear before you. Your request holds a lot of sway. They will forgo any actions they have to come to the court on bended knee and ask you to spare them. Your fellow mafia players are [these guys]. A QT has been provided at (link here) for your convenience.
Pope Urban VIII (Godfather)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] + You are a good friend of Galileo Galilei's and if he ever looks closely at you he will see that friendship as your motivating force even though you oppose his ideologically. You use his trust in you to ensure that the Ptolemaic system with its perfect spheres will never go out of fashion. You return green to detective checks. Your fellow mafia players are [these guys]. A QT has been provided at (link here) for your convenience.
Claudius Ptolemy (Framer)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] + You have created a highly intricate model of the solar system and can drone on about it to the disinterested or the highly interested for hours; you don't really care which as long as you get to talk about retrograde motion and epicycles. Once per night you can talk to an Aristotelian until he is so confused that he appears to believe in a geocentric model of the universe or chatter at a Renaissance thinker until, due to his inability to understand them, he comes to agree with your way of thinking. You are the framer, you can frame one player per night to appear as the opposite alignment to cop checks. Your fellow mafia players are [these guys]. A QT has been provided at (link here) for your convenience.
Third Party Roles
Rene Descartes (Serial Killer)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You think therefore you are, but you can't prove that anyone else is. The longer you think about this the harder it is for you to handle. You recently reached your breaking point and have taken to prowling the streets with a kitchen knife, offing the people you find. You are the serial killer, you can choose to appear innocent to all checks or have the ability to survive one KP once. You can kill one person every night, but you don't have to.
Since it doesn't matter what I tell you, just kill everything. You win if you live and no one else does.
Notes
If two roleblockers target each other, they are both informed. If a roleblocker targets a jailer and the jailer targets someone else, the jailer's action will not go through.
Masons who are roleblocked will not be prevented from communicating with their partner(s).
Masons are confirmed town to each other.
One person on the mafia team may carry out the kill each night. The mafia can choose not to kill. The mafia can kill each other. If the mafia member chosen to kill on a particular night is roleblocked, no kill will occur. A mafia member may use his ability and kill in the same night.
Millers are self-aware.
There are no hit notifications in this game.
All roleblocks will result in the target being notified.
If a serial killer is present he/she will be able to choose between investigation immunity and one shot bulletproof when the roles go out and before day 1 starts. If no choice is sent in then I will flip a coin and choose for the player.
If there are any questions about the setup, they may either be PMed to me or posted in the thread in bold green text

Newbie-specific stuff
- It's already in the rules, but remember, no editing. If you feel you must correct your post, please make a second post to clarify your statements. You may put EBWOP ("Edit by way of post," a handy acronym invented by semioldguy) at the beginning of your post to indicate that you are clearing up a point you made. If your EBWOP post is several posts after your original, please quote your original post in your EBWOP post for the sake of clarity.
- Only sign up if you know you will have the time available to properly play the game. It is essential that players remain active in a newbie game, so only /in if you are able to play to your fullest.
- If there is any sort of issue, you are unsure about some mechanic, or you are just wondering if your devilish scheme is even allowed, feel free to PM me, or ask in-thread with green text. Don't feel shy; these games are meant to be a place to learn and be open.
- Behave as gentlemen (or ladies). Things get heated here, but personal attacks will not be acceptable, and will be dealt with accordingly. Remember, this is a game; have fun and happy scumhunting!
- Please do not talk about any ongoing games either in-game or pre-game. This can affect other games and is unacceptable. Please do not refer to outside-of- thread activity of players in this thread.
- If you receive coaching, don't tell town about it.
- glhf!
