Mafia is an educated guessing game of epic proportions. At the start of the game each player is randomly assigned a role. The majority of players become members of the town, but a few players will be transformed into the game's secret villains: the mafia. After receiving their roles, the players discuss amongst themselves and work to uncover the deceivers within their ranks. In the day players vote on somebody to lynch, eliminating them from the game. During night the mafia faction selects in secret a member of the town to kill.
The objective of the game is to lynch or kill all mafia members before they outnumber the rest of the town. If the mafia at any time outnumber or equal the townspeople, they win.
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. This game can involve hours of reading and typically spans 2 weeks. If you do not have the time or patience to read the whole thread, do not play.

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: The color green is reserved for questions by players for the hosts during pre-game.
Once the game begins, please PM the hosts with any questions.
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
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, or Blazinghand 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:
Players for this game will be invited to a discord server. Only players with mafia/mason roles may have out of game discussions. Players who have not explicitly been given permission to communicate outside the thread are not allowed to do so.
Voting rules:
Voting is done in a separate voting thread that will be posted at the start of the game. Do not PM your vote to the hosts, it will not be counted.
Please vote in the following format: ##Vote Palmar.
No conditional voting.
You may vote for yourself.
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.
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; s/he has to have the most votes.
Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain.
Game-specific rules:
Modkills:
Modkills will be used at the host's discretion.
Replacements: If you are unable to continue playing for a legitimate reason please PM the host. During the first two cycles a replacement will be subbed in if available.

PMs: PMs and out of thread communication are not allowed in this game, unless your role explicitly allows them.
Activity: You are expected to keep up with the thread and participate in discussion. If for some reason you anticipate that you will not be available for a period longer than 48 hours, please notify a host ahead of time. Activity modkills will be handled at the host's discretion.
Time Cycle: This game will follow a 48 hour day/24 hour night cycle. Upon reaching the deadline, the game will be put on hold until the next day or night post is posted. Any votes or night actions timestamped up to and including 9:59 will count; those at or after 10:00 will not.

If you're in Europe or Australia maybe a bit of a pass for not understanding or agreeing with the people here that agree with more than less of your own national policies that are contextualized differently but if you are in the USA then you can get lumped in with Johnny Somali for what you deserve: to take a bullet. "Peace! Peace!" Where there is no peace and then violence as soon as everyone isn't echoing exactly how you want when you want.
How the fuck was my brother supposed to know to get a dumbass political sticker "I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy" shit he doesn't care, he bought it used recently, it was affordable and he now can save money on his commute, be green, and do less maintenance but noooo some shithead has to ruin it while he still owes a lot on it. Because "Elonnn he support right devil" Fuck you, do you still buy Goya and rent Penske? Yes you do because you move back to New York every few years you political midwit drone. But who ever expected intelligence from you? Money has always been available to you like the air you breathe; that's why your blood is as blue as your vote.

Yeah this isn't Christian well we sin too. Especially the people who kick folks trying to deal with theirs out because instead of straight porn, their sin is gay porn, they are doubly sinning with intense hypocrisy. But yeah, we still get mad you know? We cuss too and sometimes I get pretty drunk, that's all sin so, you know, I'm not the most typical Christian on earth so yeah. Figure I basically ain't.

I think ‚permanent feeling of unsafety and anxiety‘ describes it pretty well. Makes you connect the crazy dots compulsively.
Going to become more common going forward when you‘re being ruled by criminals. So I guess it evens itself out.
Get out of the grid or whatever. Can‘t trust governments like this when you don‘t own them. It‘s pure devolution into nepotism, money and organized crime. Worse than Italy even. At least in Italy you can pay them off. Here they just straight up assassinate people and work with the cops. Then spin a bunch of bullshit stories where you can‘t see it.
Just give anyone you meet a fake name and you‘ll be fine.

Wow, openly buddying like that. Unforgivable. ##unvote Chezinu ##shootvote Grackaroni
Fellow Ancient,
We must we consider the ways. You have long seen what I have in these lands. Things are not always as they seem, especially now...
I do not want to speak of it. It comes in many forms and many identities. Speech that speaks a foreign tongue and a painting of another way. Some say it was a man driven mad and betrayed by the land. Some say the identities were his creation and controlled not my his micro but by a more sophisticated method where they give an appearance of mind of their own and yet link in secret like a hive mind. I know this part, because I.. yes I.. Chezinu has enter into one of the identities' mind. I unlocked it by a word. There I saw the network.
Do you know if other are coming before the dawn? It seems this night is long.
I have keep my investigation quite quiet for a time. I am ready to reveal the journey, so you may join.
The journey start by finding meaning behind the identities. 420. Was there a message behind the posts or was it just a high hive mind speaking? Here is where is started:
Here, I spotted a vulnerability within the hive mind. The password was clear. Goyle
Chez was willing to test his intrigue. Out came ReD.eMPSHuN or rather, Chez entered the hive mind through ReD.eMPSHuN in this very land.
Chez left his mark. He became one with the hive mind to sway its ways. He learned to speak their cyptic language. For fun, he called himself the Bestest... That was over 2 years ago... The time of the 4 face alter going dim seems to be upon us.
Will you join me? This could be a grand venture before the end? Go! Test the password, though he be muted now. ReD.eMPSHuN never made it to a higher level. But that is just one of the identities... some believe he is of ...
I mean. It‘s plausible that there‘s several foreign forces paying them off to turn people into guinea pigs.
Just saying that whoever was speaking on my behalf while I was fooling around wasn‘t real. They were somebody elses hireling.
That‘s why I can‘t see them. It‘s part of this places shady routines.
As soon as I want to move away from here they‘ll try to pull another stop. It‘s a control scheme. If you‘re a sellout I feel sorry for you. A sellout is a sellout.
Is my country conning me and outsiders ? Absolutely. Something‘s seriously wrong with the comms, from my limited perception I guess. You‘re looking at live subversion.
There‘s not much point in writing more about it than that. Just treat Austria as a place ruled by foreign assets and you get the picture.
Aside from the obvious. I‘m pretty chill. Like… Explain this sorcery or I don‘t owe anyone anything kind of chill. Wish I had more time to spend on books and physical recovery while the world‘s gone nuts.
Any interest in me is unwarranted. I eat baked beans every morning under a bridge, coated in the pelts of many run over squirrels, rambling away like a maniac at the phone I possess.
No idea. But my head kinda hurts. Like a sunburn. And we have to act normal while being reduced to a bunch of shelf products.
Just gonna accept that this country broke down, I guess. Blaming it on the rapacious kraken controlling it. I‘m not on its paycheck. The internet merc issue is serious.
Simple life, simple income stream. It‘s still Skavenblight though :/ You get stealth attachments.

These almost remotely controlled weirdos coming in from Germany and strange parts of Italy are always a sight. Always a good idea to do nothing of what they suggest.
Idk what happened though. Shoulder inflamed itself again. And I went out drinking and shitposting. Might have a slight case of cyclothimia.
Being spied on for the purpose of stirring distress and drama is pretty exhausting. You sort of get used to it. Seems like it‘s an US export which makes a lot of sense.
Like a theatre that just drains you and contributes nothing. It‘s wild that it looks like some people get specifically hired for that. Does someone really do that for free ?
708 pages, still very nebulous altogether. But it‘s a nice diary I guess. I don‘t have an overview of what’s circulating. Fake or not.
The question is if the weirdos would show up elsewhere to mess around where I can‘t see them if I moved or if it‘s something specific for this place. It‘s likely that it‘s specific because of targeting. It‘s outrageous that someone could get all that information just to specifically be a pain in the ass. Or in the shoulder.
Germany is complicit as fuck. Something‘s funding that shit. What do they do when all the do is obey stranglers ? You can guess it. Nothing.
Meanwhile there‘s sneaky fucks hired by unknown forces pretending to act in my interest. Doing the opposite. Stay in Vegas with that shit.
The transnational sabotage, poisoning and micromanagement taskforce or whatever the fuck this village let in.
Leaves you paralyzed as intended when the local government appears to be ass and even encourages and supports these activities. That‘s not a hatchet I‘m ever going to bury, I think.
They only protect citizens when they have 10 hotels and got stuffed with state money during covid. And then they evade to add insult to injury.
But who gives a shit as long as they drive around in lambos for handing out favours.
