No gimmicks.
No clues.
No elections.
No stupid unbalanced shit.
And NO PMs or other out of thread communications for most players!

Let's play mafia.

Play seriously. Play to win.



The setup:
9 players: 7 town, 2 mafia

Among the town members, there is a good chance that 1 is a medic, and a good chance 1 is a detective.

Among the mafia members, there is a good chance that 1 is a roleblocker.

Medic:
Each night, you may choose one person including yourself to protect. If that person was the target of the mafia nightkill, the nightkill fails.

Detective:
Each night, you may choose one person to investigate. You will receive either TOWN-aligned or MAFIA-aligned as a result the next morning.

Roleblocker:
Each night, you may choose one person to roleblock. That person's night action is canceled for the night. The person blocked will be notified that they were roleblocked if they tried to perform a night action, but will not know who blocked them. You receive no explicit information as a result of your roleblock.

Town:
You win when all mafia are killed, and at least one town member is alive.

Mafia:
Each night, your team MUST choose one person to kill. This power is not affected by roleblocking. If you do not choose anyone, the host will randomly choose for you among all the players in the game. You may talk with your mafia teammates outside of the thread. You win when there is no longer any chance for the town to win, and at least one mafia member is alive. You also win if there is only one town-aligned player and one mafia-aligned player alive.

Game balance information:
- The chance the town will win if all targets are chosen randomly is approximately 29%.
- The earliest the town can win is day 2. The chance of this occurring randomly is approximately 2%.
- The earliest the mafia can win is day 3. The chance of this occurring randomly is approximately 24%.
- The town must successfully lynch 2 times to win the game.
- The town can afford at most (2 + x) mislynches and still win, where x is the number of successful medic protections divided by 2, rounded down.
+ Show Spoiler +
The above probabilities are generated under the assumption that power roles always use their powers on randomly selected targets, the town always lynches randomly selected players, and the mafia randomly select among players not on the mafia team to nightkill.


Roles will be assigned to players using a random number generator. The phrase "good chance" is a hidden value defined by the host.

Sample Town role PM:
+ Show Spoiler +
You are a Townie. Good luck!






The Rules you probably already know:
+ Show Spoiler +
Keep the game civil.
No cheating, including but not limited to:
- logging onto someone else's account
- comparing role PM times
- posting screenshots of PMs
- posting PMs from the host
- editing posts
- posting anything that could affect the game after death. Only one post-death goodbye post is allowed.

The Rules that may be unfamiliar to you:
- No out of thread communications (including PMs) is allowed with other players unless you are specifically given this ability.
- Do not in any way discuss any other ONGOING mafia games within this game thread.
- Do not make any promises beyond the scope of the current game.


Signing up:
Open signups! Preference will be given to those who are not participating in other games. In case more than 9 players sign up, players will be semi-randomly chosen from those who have signed up.

Timing:
This game will follow a 48 hour day/24 hour night cycle, ending at 10pm EST.

MVP/LVP:
In addition to tracking win/loss records under this and other well-balanced formats, at the end of the game players will be invited to PM the host their opinion of which of their fellow players performed the best and worst in this specific game. The host will also vote once. More details to come when the game ends.





Voting Rules:
- Voting is mandatory. You may not abstain. Anyone without a valid vote when a day ends will be modkilled.
- A vote must be for a specific player, or...
- You may vote in favor of a no lynch if you believe it is in the best interests of the town.
- The player with the most votes at the end of the day is lynched. If no lynch has the most votes, no player is lynched.
- In the event of a tie, the player (or "no lynch") with the most votes first is considered to have the most votes.

Vote-counting will be done with an automated program for this game:

Vote by including in a post in the game thread a phrase with the following format:
##Vote (playername)##

- Do not ever include "##" in your post for any other reason, and if "##" is in your signature, remove it.
- Voting is case-insensitive, but symbols, spacing, and numbers are important. Copy and paste a player's username if you need to be sure.
- Players may be assigned "akas". Voting for an "aka" is identical in effect to voting for that player.
- Do not change the formatting of your text in the middle of a vote. For example, if you bold your votes, make sure the beginning bold tag starts before the first V, and the ending bold tag ends after the last letter of the player's name.
- Vote for a no lynch by including the following: ##Vote no lynch##
- Any valid vote posted later than a previous valid vote replaces it.
- If for some reason more than one vote is posted in the same post, only the last one counts.
- There is no unvoting. If you do not wish to vote for anyone, vote for no lynch.
- Anything within quotes is ignored. You can safely quote another player's vote without attributing that vote to yourself.

Example post that includes a vote:
+ Show Spoiler +
That Zona's play has been really fishy this game.

##Vote Zona##

I encourage all of you to vote for him as well, get rid of that stink'n mafia.


During the night phase, submit your night actions by PM to me using the following format:
PM Title: Mafia 2
PM Content: ##(action) (playername)##

where action is one of: Roleblock, Protect, Investigate, Kill
Example PM content:
+ Show Spoiler +
##Protect Zona##


You can submit the same action with a different player's name if you change your mind. That submission will supersede your previous action submission. A submission from any member of the mafia team for the action of "Kill" is treated identically. If a different member of the mafia later submits a different kill target, it will replace the earlier submission!

"Signups will be open for 3 days, or until 9 players have signed up, whichever is LATER."

:[
I hate for long it takes for mafia games to start, and how long the cycles are. I feel like it would be more fun if you had a mafia game where the lynch cycles were in spans of like 30 minutes lol.

I hate how long things take too - but most people don't visit TL 5 or more times a day.

One thing people could do about the "long day/night cycles" would be to hold the "marathon mafia" games like they do on mafiascum.net, where each cycle lasts X minutes and players are required to stay for the duration of the game, and the whole game wouldn't last longer than two hours or so.
