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.



Cheating:
Cheating includes (but is not limited to):
1. Posting after death. No even a GG post.
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 or sharing 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 unless cleared by the host in advance. Otherwise, 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. You may use this font to ask the moderators anything BEFORE the game.

Absolutely do NOT ask any questions openly in thread in game as some questions may be alignment indicative.

Activity:
There is no activity requirement for this game. No warning / modkill will happen based on activity. One exception: spamming the game with the goal of having it unplayable for other players.

Smurfs/Hydras:
Smurfing is allowed IF the hosts are aware and have agreed. Please send a PM to the hosts with who you are playing as. Hydras are not be allowed.

Post Restriction Rules:
There is no post-restriction for this game however, rules for spam are unchanged.

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.

Encryption:
Don't do it.

Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a warning. If we discover you to have changed any content, you will be modkilled. This includes posts where you have embedded an image, changing the image is tantamount to changing the post. 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 using the acronym (EBWOP: Edit by way of posting) if you want to clarify/correct something you just posted.

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 or Foolishness 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, or GMarshal 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 me or the co-host if you need to leave the game.

You have been warned.

Voting rules:

This game uses plurality lynch. The player with most votes at deadline will be lynched. In the event of a tie, the first player to have attained the most votes will be lynched.
1. Voting is done in thread.
2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote Half the Sky. Any vote not correctly formated will be considered.
4. No conditional voting.
5. You may vote for yourself. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game.
6. You may not vote for a no-lynch.
7. Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain. Failure to vote will result in a warning. Two warning will result in a modkill / replacement if possible.

Signups and Wisdom of the Crowds:

Signups are open until all spots are filled.

There is no minimum experience required for this game.

The hosts also reserve the right to deny participation to those individuals that are known to disrupt the playing experience for others. If we also receive more than two (behaviour based) objections on a specific player, we will most likely not allow that individual to play. We want everyone to have a positive experience playing on TL regardless of their skill level.

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 us and post in the Ban List.

Behaviour:
1. Simply put, do not be a dick. We will pre-warn, warn or modkill you if you approach or cross the line. I am specifically most against personal attacks. These games are meant to be fun for everyone; play the game, but don't ruin the experience.
2. Racist/homophobic/sexist commentary or similar will result in a direct modkill.
There is no place for such here, and success as any alignment can be done without.
3. Absolutely, positively, no discussion about other concurrent games in this thread. This can affect other games and is unacceptable. You may discuss players' activities external of TL Mafia, but do not discuss any play in any other ongoing game. Violation of this rule will result in a warning; subsequent offences will result in a modkill.

Replacements:
This game uses remplacements.

Clues:
There are no clues.

PMs and Out-of-Thread Communication:
PMs are not allowed in this game, with the exception of the scumteam.
No out-of-thread communication of any sort is allowed for other players.
The scumteam will be provided a QT to communicate in. If scum decides to use other means on communication, they will have to log and post them in the QT.

Coaches:
No coaches allowed.

Shadows:
Shadows are allowed. If you shadow a player, I will provide a separate QT for you and your shadow. If your player happens to RNG into the scumteam, you will not have access to scum QT.

Observers:
Please PM the hosts for the Observer QT once the game has started, otherwise, type /obs in the signup thread.

Time Cycle:
This game will follow a 24 hour day cycle.
The deadline is 22:00 GMT (+00:00).
Please note the deadline is xx:59 and I will not accept votes/actions at xx:00.
Do not post after the deadline. Any alignment relevant information posted after the deadline and before the flip will result in a modkill.
The game will resume when the day post is up.
