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 may grow large 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):
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.
11. You may not reveal or hint about the identity of your coach. You may not refer to any idea, course of action, etc. as something that was suggested by your coach.
If you feel that any action you are considering may be against the spirit of the game, it is best to contact a host and ensure it is allowed before proceeding.
Posting:
Host Color:
The color blue is reserved for the hosts of the game to make our posts easy to notice. Please do not use it.
Questions:
All questions to the hosts must be sent as PMs, do not ask in the thread. You are not allowed to say in thread you’re going to ask the hosts something, and you are not allowed to share your answer with the thread. If the question is a clarification all town needs to know, the hosts will post an announcement in the thread.
Activity:
You must post in this thread once per day/night cycle and vote every day while you are alive. Roughly speaking, this equates to a bare minimum of one post per 36 hours. If you fail to do so, you will be modkilled or replaced.
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. "Editing" includes indirect editing like linking an image, then editing the image. Editing your profile or signature are allowed, but if you edit them for any game-related reasons (ie, breadcrumbing, sending messages, etc) this will be considered out-of-thread posting and will be punished.
Inappropriate posts and use of the report post link:
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 moderation staff or using the report post link. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can appeal to the TL staff normally.
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.
Out of thread communication:
It is common for mafia to use a medium outside of TL such as QuickTopics or IRC to communicate during the game. Players who have not explicitly been given permission to communicate outside the thread are not allowed to attempt to infiltrate such communication channels. Players who are not mafia are not allowed to communicate about this game outside of the thread.
Voting rules:
1. Voting is done by posting in this thread.
2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote: Zona or ##Vote Zona. Votes must be in bold, and votes not written in the correct fashion will not be counted.
3. No conditional voting.
4. You may vote only for other living players in the thread. You may not vote for yourself.
5. This game uses plurality voting, so whoever has the most votes at the end of the day is lynched. There is no minimum number of votes required to lynch someone. If there is a tie for most votes, whoever most recently had more votes than the other is the person who is up for the lynch.
6. The person who is up for the lynch is whoever has the most votes. Bringing another player up to that number of votes doesn't put him up for the lynch; he has to have the most votes.
7. Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain.
Signups:
7 spots in this game are reserved for new players*. The other 6 spots in this game are open to anyone, but new players still take priority and can possibly bump other players from these spots. These numbers are flexible, but the goal is to bring new members in and give them a chance to play. If you're a forum regular, please bear in mind there will be newbies in this game and act appropriately to introduce them to TL Mafia.
*new player - played in 3 or fewer TL mafia games
Signup for the game by posting /in in the thread if you are new, or /in: Open if you are not.
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 post in the Ban List.
Replacements
This game uses replacements. Players who are inactive may be replaced by other players.
Clues:
There are no clues.
PMs
PMs and out of thread communication are not allowed in this game, unless your role explicitly allows them.
Time Cycle:
This game will follow a 48 hour day/24 hour night cycle. Any votes after the deadline will not count and the game will be put on hold until the night post is up. The deadline for each cycle will be 22:29 GMT (+00:00).

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. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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! 5. 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. 6. If you receive coaching, don't tell town about it. 7. glhf!

B) 1 Town Vigilante, 1 Town Veteran, 8 Vanilla Townies, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 2 Mafia Goons
C) 1 Town Cop, 1 Town Jailkeeper, 1 Town Unaware Miller, 7 Vanilla Townies, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Mafia Framer, 1 Mafia Goon
Role descriptions:
Serenity crew member (Vanilla Town) You live outside the law. More specifically, you defy the Alliance and the control of the Central planets, perhaps in pursuit of some ideal or just resenting the yoke of Empire and Bureaucracy. Although you're no regular outlaw, you don't have the same pull that other members of Serenity do. As such, you have no special abilities, but your voice and your vote are just as important as everyone else's. You win with the town.
Jayne Cobb (Miller) - You're just a regular member of the Serenity crew, kept around as muscle and cannon fodder (and definitely not for your brain). Hell, you don't even realize that turning in other crew members for a bounty is treachery. You didn't try to sell off the Captain, after all. Surely that's okay? You're completely unaware that you're not like other Serenity crew members. You will return as Mafia-aligned on cop checks. You win with the town.
River Tam (Cop) - They told you that you were brilliant...and you are. They told you that you were special...a bit more debatable. And then they cut into your brain and now you're a psychotic psychic with occasional flashes of brilliance. You make everyone uncomfortable except possibly your brother, who may or may not have an unhealthy love for you, but there's a silver lining to this cloud; that psychic ability is pretty strong. Every night, you may choose a player to soul-search. You will visit the player and receive "Town-aligned" or "Mafia-aligned" as a result. You win with the town.
Simon Tam (Doctor) - Despite the fact that you're one of the best surgeons in the Alliance and easily the brightest person in almost any crowd, you gave it all up to go rescue your sister from mad scientists. How you then fell in with Captain Reynolds' merry band of space cowboys is anyone's guess, really. Something to do with being utterly helpless on your own, fate, and a death wish? Every night, you may choose a player other than yourself to protect. You will visit the player, and if anyone attempts to kill a player you are protecting on the same night, the kill will fail. Neither you nor the target will be notified if you prevent a kill. You cannot protect the same player two consecutive nights. You win with the town.
Inara Serra (Jailkeeper) - An official Companion, or in Captain Reynolds' oh-so-flattering vernacular, a whore, you lend the Serenity its legitimacy and open doors that would otherwise remain closed to the crew. In the time-honored tradition of the old Terran courtesans, however, your value to the crew includes high-level connections and an uncanny ability to read people. Now if you'd just stop pretending that everyone isn't fully aware that you stay on the Serenity for Captain Reynolds...Every night, you may choose a player to take into your shuttle. You will visit the player, and if anyone attempts to kill a player you are entertaining on the same night, the kill will fail. It will also prevent the chosen player from performing actions and visits that night. If mafia roleblocks you the same night, you will successfully roleblock your target, but they will not be protected from KP. Neither you nor the player you protected/roleblocked will be notified. You win with the town.
Zoe Washburn (1-Shot Vigilante) - You are Reynolds' loyal right hand, the voice of reason, and hell but you can shoot, can't you? The rest of the crew may not understand why you married the dorky pilot with his plastic dinosaurs, but they respect you. After all, you have that authority that only comes from leadership experience in combat. Oh, and there's the small matter of being able to take down a cricket at 1000 ft with one shot. That, too. Once per game, at night, you may select a player to kill. That player is shot overnight and dies at the start of the next day. If your target was also shot by mafia, or was protected by a doctor or veteran status, your bullet is lost. If you were roleblocked, you don't use your bullet and can try again the next night. You win with the town.
Malcolm Reynolds (Veteran) - You fought in Serenity Valley during the Unification War with the Independents. And you lost. Now you work outside the Alliance as the outlaw captain of the Firefly-class transport ship Serenity. You're headstrong and absolutely refuse to follow anyone's rules but your own, but somehow you managed to surround yourself with a crew of extraordinary people who aren't your typical thugs or criminals. Will it be enough to maintain your independence from both the Alliance and other criminals alike? You have a bulletproof vest that can absorb one bullet. This means you need to be shot twice in order to die: once to destroy the vest, once to kill you. If you are roleblocked, however, your bulletproof vest doesn't work that night. You win with the town.
Adelei Niska (Godfather) - The head of perhaps the largest crime syndicate in existence, you're really just a benevolent dictator, you know? Trying to bring order to a chaotic world, organizing the criminal elements and giving people the opportunity to make the correct decision and be part of something bigger than themselves. As for the torture...really you're just trying to help people find who they really are inside. You're a philanthropist. Really. Because you're so good at selling that line, you return "town-aligned" to cop checks. Every night, the mafia team must choose a player to kill. You may communicate with other members of your mafia team outside of the game thread at any time. You win with the mafia.
The mafia team is:
A quicktopic has been provided for your team:
Jubal Early (Roleblocker) - Every age has its great men. Not only are you one of the deadliest beings alive, but you're also a great philosopher...who no one listens to. So naturally you make your living as a bounty hunter with little regard for who the employer is. And, just perhaps, if while you have these people under lockdown they're forced to listen to your wisdom, all the better. Every night, you may choose a player to detain, which will prevent them from performing actions and visits that night. The roleblocked player will not be notified. Every night, the mafia team must choose a player to kill. You may communicate with other members of your mafia team outside of the game thread at any time. You win with the mafia.
The mafia team is:
A quicktopic has been provided for your team:
Saffron (Framer) - It's not your real name. In fact, you've told so many lies that you're not entirely sure what your real name is anymore. You travel from place to place, hatching schemes and betraying partners, with only your own self-interest in mind. Still, that could just be because you don't actually trust anyone else. Your grip on reality may be rather tenuous, but that doesn't prevent you from being a master manipulator and seductress. Every night, you may choose a player to frame. The chosen player, if town-aligned, will return as "mafia-aligned" to cop checks. If mafia-aligned, they will return as "town-aligned". You may not frame the same player two consecutive nights. Every night, the mafia team must choose a player to kill. You may communicate with other members of your mafia team outside of the game thread at any time. You win with the mafia.
The mafia team is:
A quicktopic has been provided for your team:
Reaver (Mafia Goon) - You're afraid of any creature not yourself. But rather than meekly hiding in a corner, you ascribe to the philosophy (so to speak) that the "best defense is a good offense". As such, you attack anything not yourself without mercy or hesitation, even going so far as to torture and cannibalize your victims. It's only self-defense, though. Don't let anyone tell you any different. Every night, the mafia team must choose a player to kill.You may communicate with other members of your mafia team outside of the game thread at any time. You win with the mafia.

FAQs:
Q: Can good guys communicate outside of the thread? What about just the Cop / Detective?
A: The good guys can't communicate outside of the thread. This includes the Cop.
Q: I'm confused about some role names that are used interchangeably.
A: VT = Vanilla Townie = Town Vanilla. Cop = DT = Detective. Medic = Doc = Doctor = Angel. Scum = Mafia. RB = Roleblocker
Q: Does something extra bad happen to the Doctor if s/he visits a mafia player?
A: The Doctor has no penalty for saving a mafia player
Q: I want to talk about coaching, or have a question about coaching. Where should I ask this?
A: PM me. Do not post in the thread about coaching.
Q: Should I talk about this game anywhere other than this thread?
A: No. You can talk in your special Scum Quicktopic if you are Mafia. You can also talk with your coach. Otherwise, do not mention this game. Don't mention it in passing. Don't mention that you're alive. Don't mention that you think your case is good. People in this game read all parts of the forums here on TL, so if you go over the Sc2 Strategy and say "I'm a bad mafia dude in this game" you will get found out.
Q: Should I talk about this game anywhere other than this thread if I'm dead?
A: When you die I will provide you with a quicktopic for dead players to hang out in and discuss the game.
Q: Can town decide to "sleep" or vote for a no-lynch?
A: You are allowed to vote for a no-lynch.
Q: The deadline passed and the Host hasn't finished writing the Day post or Night post. During these minutes between the lynch ending, or between the night ending, and the start of the next phase, can I talk?
A: Do not talk if the day or night post is late. After the lynch or the night kills have been 100% determined, in theory the next day should start instantly. In practice, it takes me some time to compose the new post, and during this time you should quietly wait for the flip. Typically there's a delay of between 1 and 10 minutes.
Q: Can we claim our roles or night actions and their results?
A: You may claim anything you want to, including fake claims. It is up to the other players whether they will believe your claim.
Q: Can I post a screenshot of my role PM? Can we compare formatting or timestamps of messages from the hosts?
A: You may not directly quote or screenshot anything from outside the thread. This also implies that things like comparing PM timestamps or formatting are disallowed. You may not ask things like "was your role PM colored green?".

/in: Open.
Need to get good again after hiatus. :D

Can ppl plz stop hosting amazing games, while I don't have time to play.
Also, totally unrelated, can someone pass me a salt can pretty please?

Gather my scumlets gather! Here are a few reasons to join the dark side 
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Caubsi4.jpg?1)
One shot for a successful nightkill, thrice the reward for a mislynch. Endgaming means celebration in the Scottish highlands where the water is always pure and the whiskey will always flow.
Not old enough yet? Don't worry, I make some mean cuisine, various European/Asian dishes and desserts, surely there's something you fancy. You won't be disappointed! 
It would be an honour and a pleasure to help you - the next generation of newbies - harness their dark side and destroy yet another town. Because the only good townie is a dead one 
/coach
<3
(Alright seriously I would love to coach either alignment, but for those who know me well, I just had to troll with the whiskey hehe.)

Nah, I'm just messing around. Though maybe if you find someone with better availability around deadline, but that's your call.
Still, like the theme choice. Especially the mafia roles, good picks.
