Newbie Mini Mafia XLII + Show Spoiler [Important Posts] +
Night 4 in [unparsable timestamp format]
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.
- 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. Do NOT ask for modkills or discuss modkills during the game
Smurfs: No smurfs. I will not accept smurfs under any circumstances.
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).
- You may vote for a No Lynch in the format: ##Vote: No Lynch
- Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain.
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. Type /in to play.
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 02:00 GMT (+00:00)) will not count. Currently the deadline is 02:00 GMT (+00:00), but that may be subject to change. During the night, there will be a 1 hour resolution period during which actions will not be accepted. You may post during this time. In other words, the deadline for night actions is 01:00 GMT (+00:00). Actions and votes may be posted up until the deadline, but not after (01:59 GMT (+00:00) is fine but not 02:00 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!

Mighty Morphin Mafia
Overview This game is using a semi-open setup for 12 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. 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 (and there is no SK alive) or they reach a scenario when this becomes inevitable. The SK wins if he is the last man standing or nothing can prevent this. Town wins by eliminating all mafia members (and there is no SK alive). Mafia kill power is always 1.
ALL FLAVOR IS MEANINGLESS, EXCEPT FOR FUN! If you find the role PM you receive ambiguous, PM WaveofShadow or myself.
Town Roles
High School Student -- Vanilla Town + Show Spoiler +You spend most of your day studying, "studying" and playing games. Other than wearing strange clothes and coming up with stupid sayings, you have no super power save for your vote. You win with town by eliminating any threat to the Angel Grove.
Black Ranger -- Veteran + Show Spoiler +You are supposed to look and be badass in black; unfortunately, you were trained to jump around like a little girl. Because of your amazing acrobatics, you never take a blow straight on. You have an extra life; this means it takes two successful hits to kill you.
Red Ranger -- Vigilante + Show Spoiler +You are the leader of the Power Rangers. As such, it is your responsibility to take care of the monsters that your teammates always seem to fall to. You may, only once during the game, shoot a player of your choice during the night. You have only one bullet and it is not refunded under any circumstances.
Blue Ranger -- Parity Cop + Show Spoiler +You are the nerd of the bunch and pretend to mess around with beakers, flasks and strange colored liquids. In actuality, you were barely accepted into Angel Grove Community College. You're real power has always been knowing when you need to run away or not. Once per night you may submit the name of two other players; the following day, you will learn whether these two players have the same or different alignment. + Show Spoiler +If both are town, you receive Same. If both are scum, you receive Same. If one is scum and one is town, you receive Different. The Serial Killer is treated as scum for these purposes.
Yellow Ranger -- Jailkeeper + Show Spoiler +You are the actual brains of the bunch; additionally, you know Kung Fu. It's your job to protect the dumber other Power Rangers and the town citizens. Every night you may choose one person to jail. You will protect them from 1 KP and prevent them using any role they might have. Neither you nor your target will be informed of successful saves.
Green Ranger -- Tracker + Show Spoiler +You can't keep your eyes off of the Pink Ranger; you think that she's "totally rad." You stalk her almost every night and somehow she's been blind to it entirely. Every night you may pick a target and will be notified of everybody that person visits. You are not told what actions they performed, just whom they visited. If your target stayed at home, you are told there was “no result”.
Pink Ranger -- Watcher + Show Spoiler +Most of the guys at your school really dig you. To make sure that no one is going to eliminate your current 'flavor of the week' you sometimes hide in the bushes to make sure that nothing bad happens. Every night you set up shop outside someone's house and will be notified of everybody who visits your target. You are not told what actions they performed, just who visited. If nobody visits your target, you are told there was “no result”.
Alpha 5 -- Nosy Neighbour + Show Spoiler +You can't shut up. Once you learned hip-hop-kido you were never able to stop yourself from visiting people to try and learn some new slang or fad from them. You visit a random person at night and do nothing, but can be tracked there and watched visiting. You are aware of this behaviour, but are not able to stop it or even control it.
Mafia Roles All Mafia have the ability to deliver a night kill in addition to any other night actions they may take.
Scorpina -- Goon + Show Spoiler +You're supposedly super powerful and stuff. Really you're just another lackey in Rita Repulsa's crew. You have no additional role beyond being a member of the mafia. Like all members of the mafia, your team may choose you to perform the kill at night.
Goldar -- Roleblocker + Show Spoiler +You're big, golden and carry one big ass sword. You try to scare everyone you face into bowing to the power of your sword. Also, you have wings and stuff. 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. Roleblocks work on both active and passive abilities, but block only one ability. Active abilities will be prioritized over passive abilities.
Green Ranger -- Tracker + Show Spoiler +You can't keep your eyes off of the Pink Ranger; you think that she's "totally rad." You stalk her almost every night and somehow she's been blind to it entirely. Every night you may pick a target and will be notified of everybody that person visits. You are not told what actions they performed, just whom they visited. If your target stayed at home, you are told there was “no result”.
Rita Repulsa -- Framer + Show Spoiler +You have this magic wand which is really more of a staff. You can use it's powers to hide other people's powers or to mask them as your agents. You may target one person per night, causing them to be treated as the opposite alignment to any cops who choose to investigate them for that night only.
3rd party roles
Lord Zedd -- Serial Killer + Show Spoiler +You are looking to take over both over Rita Repulsa and Angel Grove. Your powers are astounding, but no one even knows your name yet. First, you may shoot someone every night. Second, you are sturdier than most and can take an extra hit. You are notified if this ability is used.
If there are any questions about the setup, they may either be PMed to me or posted in the thread in bold green text
+ Show Spoiler [Setup Notes] +
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 jailed, no kill will occur. A mafia member may use his ability and kill in the same night.
If a player visits two targets and is tracked, the tracker will be notified that the player visited both targets.
All roleblocks (and jails) will result in the target being notified that they have been roleblocked.
If a roleblocker targets a jailer and that jailer targets someone else, the jailer is roleblocked, nothing else happens. If a jailer targets a roleblocker and that roleblocker targets someone else, the roleblocker is jailed, nothing else happens. If a jailer and roleblocker target each other, they are both roleblocked, but the roleblocker is not protected from KP.

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!

Town coach reporting for duty
Hello, my lovelies, and welcome to TL Mafia. My name is ObviousOne and I am at your disposal for myriad purposes. Town-aligned players, feel free to PM me for coaching and advice! I can't help you unless you ask me for help-- I will not initiate contact with you.
You can PM me directly with anything you wish to ask.
Things I can probably help you with
- Looking townie.
- Not looking not-townie.
- Things you can do when you are under pressure.
- Things you can look for to help determine someone's alignment.
- How to aim your non-voting powers, if applicable.
- If you're not sure, just ask!
Things I can't really help you with
- Setup-specific things including who has what role or alignment; I know as much as you do.
- Outside information such as observers' opinions.
- Who my favorite mafia player is (just kidding, it's
wherebugsgoBlazingHand)
TL Mafia games are generally very competitive, and things can sometimes get out of hand with tempers and words, but remember this: It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!
When this game is over, if you are interested in an alternative form of coaching, check out the Shadowing Players thread to see if that's something that interests you. If this is your last newbie game, don't forget to sign up for a regular game next!
