Morning 1 - Night 1
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, each day will reveal clues pointing to such individuals allowing the town to analyze them and point fingers all they want. Its 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. As many people sign up as you want and the game is balanced between a group of mafia and a large town with a variety of roles.
This mafia game works slightly different than the normal one (read: Mafia), so I'll explain it a bit more. During the night mafia will collectively decide on and send in their hits to me, who they want dead (its a good idea to discuss them during day so you know ahead of time). Any player with a special role that can act during night must PM me their actions each and every night.
During the day you will see the bloody death of many of your friends with a handful of clues left behind. Clues can be taken from anywhere, so long as I see it relating to the person they are intended for. This means posts, names, sigs, profiles, blogs, things related to names, etc. Emphasis on profile. Any player with a special role that can act during day must PM it to me so I can set it in motion. The whole town, including the mafia, will meet and discuss this turn of events and everyone will vote for who they want lynched that day.
If the mafia at any time outnumber the townspeople they win the game. The goal for the townspeople is to lynch all the members of the mafia by interpreting clues and voting for them during the day. The goal of the mafia, of course, is to kill the townspeople with murderous precision.
The game is typically very active and there are usually numerous walls of text to wade through. If you are not a person who likes reading then I highly suggest you don't play the game because it is essential to being informed within the game. I will not compensate for ignorance.
BloodyC0bbler will be co-hosting this game.
Rules: (they are all subject to change before the start of the game!)
General game rules:
1. Once you are dead you may not post anything at all. People are getting irritated with dead people talking so sorry but dead people are now forbidden from talking during the game. People not playing are advised not to post in the thread also. Moderators please help out with this where you can, if players insist on continuing to post I'll just ban them from playing the game again.
2. Try to keep posting mafia game related, the thread gets hard to read and annoying when there are 12 posts of spam per 1 post of actual content.
3. You must vote. Whether its 'I abstain from voting' or not you must cast a vote.
Voting rules, since people always need it spelled out.
1. You must post your vote in this thread. Do not PM or IM it to me.
2. You must clearly declare your vote ie: 'I vote for X'.
3. You can not autochange your vote to the losing or winning bandwagon.
4. You cannot vote for yourself or anyone dead or outside the game.
5. In the event of a tie the person with the most votes first wins over the other person.
6. You may abstain, but must let me know: ie: 'I abstain from voting'.
Signups: Post here to signup I will not take signups through PM or IM. This thread exists for a reason please use it. If I miss or forget your name politely remind me, this thread gets overwhelming sometimes and I may miss something. Remember what clues are based off of: If you don't have much information on the site or relating to you for me to access then don't blame me if people easily find out who you are by my clues.
Signups will close on 2/25/09 and the game will start 2/27/09.

Roles (you will randomly be given a role via PM once the game starts!)
The Town:
Detective - You may ask anytime during the day if a specific clue points to a specific person and receive a yes or no answer.
Private Eye - You get two abilities but you may only use one of them and they can be used anytime during the day.
Role check - You may ask me what role a specific person has and receive a clear answer.
Vote check - You may ask me how many mafia voted for a specific person on a specific day.
There is also a third option and you must declare your intent to do this to me before using any ability. The third option gives you the ability to use both a role guess and a vote check. You must also wait two days before being able to use the other. IE: You used a vote check on day 1, you cannot use the role guess till day 4.
Role Guess - You may guess the role of a specific player and receive a yes or no about your guess.
Each ability is a one time per game use.
Veteran - You have two abilities but you may only use one per day. During the morning you may gain a second vote which you must PM to me and will show up as 'Veteran' in the vote count. During the night if you did not use your second vote you will gain a second life which will protect you from one hit. The extra life will always be available unless you used it due to being hit at night. You will be notified anytime you lose that life.
Paramedic - You have the ability to prevent one hit on a player of your choice during the night. You must notify me of the player you wish to choose anytime during the day. Each paramedic can only stop one hit and as such if the number of mafia is greater than the number of paramedics on a player then that player will die (except if the player is a veteran with an extra life). You will know if you saved the person. The person will know if he was saved. And the town will know nothing of the event. Paramedics may not use their ability two consecutive nights in a row.
Mad Hatter - You have the ability to place a bomb on a specific player during the night. Anytime you die the player you placed the bomb on will die also. You must wait till the next night before you can move the bomb from target to target and you get the bomb back if a player should die before your bomb would kill them. Additionally during the night you may suicide bomb a player killing off both you and your target.
Town Abilities - The following abilities are elected by everyone. The vote must exceed half the number of players voting that day. IE: If there are 40 players voting then the town needs 21 votes to use a town ability. Town abilities cannot be used two consecutive days in a row, any number of each ability may be used unless otherwise noted, and only three total may be used during the course of the game. Town abilities do not apply to mafia.
Double Lynch: The next day the town lynches two people instead of one. This means everyone gets two votes to distribute between two different people. Veterans do not gain second extra votes and players may not use both their votes on the same person.
Overtime: The next day each player will gain the ability to use their role twice. This means veterans can use two extra votes, an extra vote and an extra life, or two extra lives for that night only; or paramedics may protect two players that night. Private Eye's and Mad Hatters do not benefit from this ability. This ability can only be used once.
Sanctuary: The night after this is voted on players of a specific role will be protected from all hits that night (mafia and mad hatter). This ability may only be used on any role once but may be used more than once.
The Mafia:
Mafia - Your goal is to eliminate everyone else in the town. Your ability, as a group, is killing off whomever you decide on at night and knowing the role of each other player in the mafia. You may not kill other mafia. Mafia killing power is decided after signups are closed and will be shown next to the mafia count in the player count lists.
Don: You are the superfluous leader of the mafia. Can order only one of the following during the course of the game:
Overkill: Mafia can double their hits one night. May not be used until Night 3.
Snakeskin: Cannot be the target of Private Eye role checks, Detective clue checks, or Mad Hatter attacks for the two days after being used. IE. If it was used on Night 1 it would be in effect from Day 2 to the end of Day 3. This means Mad Hatter bombs will fail on every person, not just mafia; and Detective clue checks and Private Eye role checks cannot be used at all.
Backlash: On the following day whenever a player uses a special ability it works as if the mafia used the ability on the player instead. Quick summary: clue checks do nothing, medic covers random mafia players, veterans still vote for their targets but random mafia will gain extra lives for each veteran in the game up to one extra life, private eyes are revealed to mafia or their vote check goes to show how many private eyes voted for the player, and mad hatters place a bomb on themselves. These happen if and only if the players in question use their abilities (except veteran) and no player will be notified of the change until the day after.
There are many roles not listed that may be used in future mafias, but for right now this is what we're working with.

Sign me up
Backlash: On the following day whenever a player uses a special ability it works as if the mafia used the ability on the player instead. Quick summary: clue checks do nothing, medic covers random mafia players, veterans vote for their targets but random mafia will gain extra lives, private eyes are revealed to mafia or their vote check goes to show how many private eyes voted for the player, and mad hatters place a bomb on themselves. These happen if and only if the players in question use their abilities and no player will be notified of the change until the day after.
imho this sounds a little imba

Questions: what is the advantage for a private eye of picking the vote count instead of both abilities? Is there one? Also, what happens if they guess the role incorrectly?
Does overtime give veterans additional night lives? Or does it just allow them to either have 2 votes or 1 vote 1 extra night life?
Does backlash mean that private eyes will reveal themselves to the mafia regardless of who they are checking? How does this apply if the private eye is usng the rolecheck double ability?

wait... no mandatory vote? no inactives list?

No, it gives them two votes or one vote + night life.

Yes and it applies the same way if they are using the double ability.

No mandatory vote and no inactive list. If you're planning on going inactive tell me now and I'll remove you from the game.
