TL MAFIA XVI
*dreamflower is helping me co-host this game. Any questions or night actions can be directed towards her or me.
Welcome to TL Mafia XVI! As we have not had a full size game in over a month, I have received consent from the mods to have the signups in the S&G forum. The game however, will take place in the mafia forum which is located here. It is a private forum, so just ask a mod to grant you access if you would like to join the game or simply watch.
All players are invited to join, although new players have priority. So if you haven't played the game before, don't hesitate to sign up. Signups are open and will remain open until all spots are filled. The game will start either at the end of the week or the beginning of next week.
Team Liquid Mafia has its own forum located here. It is a private forum, so if you want access but do not have it, please contact a mod.
If you are interested, please sign up here. This is not a finalized role list. You may be bumped off the list in favor of newer players if you have played before.

Intro:
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.
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 (it's a good idea to discuss them during day so you know ahead of time). Any player with a special role that can act during the night must PM me their actions each and every night.
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 whatever analysis, teamwork, or guile they have. 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.
Rules: (they are all subject to change before the start of the game!)
Posting Etiquette:
In the past, many players have complained or quit because of the excessive bm and pointless flaming. If you are posting agressively and know you couldn't get away with it anywhere else on this site, it probably isn't ok here. Besides, contrary to what you may think, yelling at someone is a great way to convince people to disagree with your arguments. Please do not post inappropriately, or it will earn you a warning based on mod discretion. If you choose to ignore the warning, you will be modkilled. Examples of inappropriate posts include excessive cursing and vulgarity, among other things.
Cheating:
Cheating includes (but is not limited to) the following and will get you banned from future games:
1. Posting after death. One polite goodbye post is acceptable but please do not post anything which could POSSIBLY affect the game.
2. Betraying your role and ruining the game for everyone by doing something like hand out your mafia's member list to the town.
3. Logging on to someone else's account / checking their PMs / looking over someone's shoulder to get their role.
4. Comparing role PM times to determine roles.
5. Posting screenshots of your inbox. This is not a photoshop competition.
6. Posting any PM you receive from a host.
7. Changing your profile / sig / possible clue material after the game begins, whether you are mafia or not. You'll be caught and just look more suspicious anyway.
8. Editing posts. Editing posts is not allowed for any reason. The mods can see your edits, and if you are caught, you will look suspicious.
Voting rules:
1. You must post your vote in the Vote Thread (which will be in a separate thread in the mafia forum). Do not PM or IM it to me.
2. You must clearly declare and bold your vote in this format ie: "I vote to lynch Chuiu".
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".
7. Voting is mandatory. You must vote or abstain.
Modkills:
Inactivity has been a problem in every mafia game so far. It works as such: players are allowed to safely miss the lynch vote(s) (fail to either vote or abstain) for one day over the course of the game. If you fail to vote on a second day, I will use my discretion about modkilling you based on how active you have been and any excuses you might have. If something comes up and you know you will miss the vote, PM me in advance about it to let me know and you will be spared. Abstaining votes will be allowed, but don't do it just because you don't want to read the thread.
Anyone who is modkilled may not play in one of my games until they have proven themselves to be active players in another game. I am hoping I never have to modkill anyone. Please remain active so I do not have to. After each missed vote, I will send you a PM reminding you to be active. If you do not believe you can maintain the required level of activity, please PM me before the game begins.
Signups:
This game is open to all with preference for new players. Signups will remain open until all spots have been filled (around 30-31 players).
Clues:
Every day post will tell a story describing the deaths of your murdered neighbors. These stories will leave behind clues pointing towards the mafia members. Clues can be taken from anywhere, so long as I see it relating to the person they are intended for. This means names, sigs, profiles, things related to names, etc.
Time Cycle:
This game will follow a strict 24 hour night/48 hour day cycle. In case dreamflower or myself will not be there, any votes after the 48 hour mark will not count and the game will be put on halt until the night post is up.
The Election:
I would ask that potential candidates do NOT begin their campaigns before the game starts. I believe doing so interferes with the atmosphere of the game and provides a level of sincerity that should not be part of the game. With this in mind, I would ask the voters not to consider running before the game begins as a perk to a player's candidacy.
Credits:
Chuiu, Ace, Tracil, Caller, BloodyC0bbler, Qatol, Ver, LTT, Plexa, and Pyrrhuloxia for taking the time to run mafia games for us.
The balance crew (you know who you are) for helping us to make this setup reasonably balanced.
Roles
This is a semi-open setup. Roles will be disclosed, but role counts will remain hidden. Read this section carefully, it may be subject to change.
Townie
You may just be a normal player but you are the backbone of the town. Your goal, with the special roles of the town, is to help bring the Mafia to justice. You get no special powers but the ability to vote during day. Blue Roles may look pretty but the real power lies with you!
Detective
You have the ability to make night investigations. Once per night phase, you may PM me to ask one of the following, which I will answer:
1. Does X contain a clue? (Where X is part of a Day post) (called a "Clue Check")
2. Does X contain a clue that points to Y? (Where X is part of a Day post and Y is a player's name) (called a "Clue Check")
3. What is Y's role? (Where Y is a player's role) (called a "Role Check")
X can be no larger than one sentence.
Only 3 Role Checks may be performed per DT per game. You may not use more than 2 Role Checks in a row. Clue checks have unlimited uses.
Medic
You have the ability to prevent one hit on a player of your choice during the night. 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. You will know if you saved the person. The person will know if he was saved. If you are protecting a veteran, and they are hit, your ability supercedes theirs. You cannot protect yourself. A medic can protect someone the night she/he gets killed. They won't be notified of their save though, since they are dead.
Vigilante
You may, only once during the game, kill a player of your choice during the night. A clue will be left behind just like a mafia killing pointing to you. If your hit overlaps with mafia or another vigilante then I will cancel it and they will kill the person instead. In the case of overlapping vigilantes, the hit that was sent first is the one that goes through. In both cases you will not know who caused your hit to be canceled and you will be able to use your hit anytime after that during the game. Medic protection may block your hit, and, if it does, you will have used your killing ability. A vigilante can kill someone the during a night where she/he gets killed. You may not use your ability on night 1.
Veteran
You get two night lives instead of one! This means it takes at least two successful hits in one night to kill you, or one hit on each of two separate nights. A veteran will be told when they lose one of their night lives. If you get lynched, you die, regardless of whether you have an extra night life remaining.
Mayor
You won second place in the election. So close... You have to PM me before the end of Day 1 with the name of the player you would like lynched on Day 1 if you win. You can't choose the Sheriff as the Day 1 lynch victim. Your votes count as three votes instead of one. You cannot be Role Checked by a DT.
Sheriff
You won first place in the election. Bravo! You cannot be Role Checked by a DT. You are able to PM me during the day with a player to be incarcerated that night. Incarcerated players cannot use any powers the night they are incarcerated. If a mafia is incarcerated, they do not contribute to the determination of Mafia KP (Kill Power), so Mafia KP may be lowered. An incarcerated player cannot be killed the night they are incarcerated. If the Sheriff is lynched, no player may be incarcerated that night. You only get 2 incarcerations. You may not incarcerate yourself. The same player cannot be incarcerated twice. You cannot incarcerate a player during Night 1.
Bodyguard
Bodyguards are the protectors of the elected roles. As long as they remain alive the Mayor and Sheriff are both immune to all hits during the night. Bodyguards will not know who each other are, the elected roles will not know who they are, and they will be chosen from Townies after the Mayor chooses who to lynch. You show up as Townie for all Rolechecks.
Miller
This player is a townie in every way except that if a DT role checks this player, the DT will be told the Miller is a Mafia. The Miller is told that they are a Townie. The Miller will be revealed as a Miller upon their death. The miller is on the side of the Townies, and wins if they win.
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 your mafia. You may kill your own members. Mafia killing power will be determined when the game begins. You also must choose the Godfather from among yourselves. If you do not choose by night 1, I will randomly choose for you.
Godfather
The Godfather has the ability to decide what role he will appear to be when a Detective role checks him. It may be any role and must be chosen Day 1 or he will default to Townie role. After your role is chosen you may not change it after that; decisions are final for the whole game.
Double Lynch
Usable two times per game, the town lynches two people instead of one. This means on the next day everyone gets two votes to distribute between two different people. The double lynch is activated by voting for it in addition to a player (or players if a double lynch is currently activated). 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 double lynch. Double lynches may be voted on starting Day 2. Double lynches may be used on consecutive days. Players cannot place all of their votes on one player when a double lynch is in effect.
