Generic Mafia 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.
During the night mafia will collectively decide on and send in their hits to me, who they want dead. Any player with a special role that can act must PM me their actions each and every night.
If the mafia at any time outnumber or equal 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: (subject to change)
Posting Etiquette:
No flaming. This is friendly game. We cool?
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. 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. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be owned.
8. There are to be NO private messages this game. However Private messaging, including IMs / IRC, is allowed between Mafia during the night phase only.
Voting rules:
1. Voting is to be done in this thread.
2. Please vote in the following format, to make it easier for everyone to read: [Vote]##Korynne. While the bolding in itself is not necessarily needed, it makes it easier on everybody's eyes. Please bold. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I will update votes whenever I get the chance.
3. You cannot autochange your vote to the losing or winning bandwagon.
4. You may not vote for yourself, anyone dead, or outside the game.
5. Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain. You can however choose to ##Vote: No One. If 'No One' is the majority lynch, then there will be no lynch for that day phase and it will go to night time.
6. If you miss a vote or fail to post during one day cycle, you will be modkilled.
Modkills:
Inactivity has been a problem in every mafia game so far. Inactivity is most easily defined as failure to vote. If you do miss a vote, you will be modkilled. Special consideration will be exercised if a player in danger of being modkilled by this manner has been an active contributor in the thread. 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. Remember again: abstaining votes are NOT allowed. And once again, flaming is not tolerated. Keep it civil, or else you will receive a quick lightning bolt to the back of the head. Furthermore, you must post at least once in this thread per game cycle (48 hours, the length of a day) to avoid being modkilled. Simply voting doesn't work. This is to prevent lurkers.
Anyone who is modkilled may not play in one of my games until they have proven themselves to be active players in another game. Please remain active.However, do not just simply spam one-liners or worthless posts. Strategic modkills are NOT allowed, either. A strategic modkill is defined as anything that will better the position of your team. You cannot threaten with the words "well if you kill X and he's not mafia I'll get myself modkilled" or anything in that vein. Essentially, you may not use your non-majority-decided death as a bargaining chip. If you do happen to be modkilled, you will be put on Qatol's ban list, and cannot play in an "official" game till you have served your sentence.
Signups:
Sign Ups will be done here. Just post “/in” to sign up. Or some variation
Clues:
There are no clues.
Time Cycle:
This game will follow a strict 48 hour day/24 hour night cycle. The time deadline is 22:00 GMT (+00:00).
Credits:
I stole this from LSB. Who stole it from Korynne. She probably stole it from someone else. So if your angry about not being mentioned here, uhh… direct the attention to her. Qatol too
Now on to the fun stuff:

Based on the epicmafia setup of the same name.
Evil gambling companies are out in force in an attempt to corrupt the Broodwar scene. They have already taken down several pros (Savior ;_;) and are now going for even bigger fish. They have decided to strike during an online tournament where everyone is anonymous. With a large amount of prize money on the line, you must choose to be greedy and go for the cash, or unite in an attempt to save Broodwar from terrible terrible damage.

After coming out of retirement for this tournament, you have no special skills and you are an underdog. You can still pull out an upset though.

You are an evil corporate blackmailer. You can bribe a player to convert them to your cause, however the concentration required in doing so will cause you to lose your next match and be eliminated from the tournament.
+ Show Spoiler +
Yakuza, can convert someone to mafia during the night, but sacrifices themselves while doing so. If that person is under shrink protection you will still die and they won't be converted. If you are protected by a doctor, the conversion will still go through and you will not die.
With that, let the fun begin.
