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. If the mafia at any time outnumber or equal the townspeople, they win. The town's goal is to lynch all the members of the mafia.

The game is typically very active, so the thread will get big quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game. If you do not have the time or patience to read the whole thread, do not play. I will not compensate for ignorance.

Rules:

Cheating:
Cheating includes (but is not limited to):
1. Posting after death. You may have one polite goodbye post, but it may not contain any potentially game-changing information.
2. Ruining the game by doing something like hand out your mafia's member list to the town.
3. Logging on to someone else's account / looking over someone's shoulder to get their role.
4. Comparing role PM times to determine roles.
5. Posting screenshots of your inbox.
6. Posting any PM you receive from a host.
7. Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
8. Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
Cheating is not tolerated here. The punishment will be severe.

Posting:

Mod Font:
This is mod font. It is reserved for moderators. Please do not use it.

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. While I ask for everybody to post as concisely as possible, post again if you have to edit anything

Inappropriate posts:
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.

Play to win.

You have been warned.

Roles:

Please read this section.
All Roles with night actions may act at any day. There is no night 2 restriction for vigis.

Remember, all role counts are hidden. So just because a role is listed here does not mean it is necessarily in the game!

Town Aligned Roles

Townie:
You have no special powers other than the ability to vote. But you are necessary for a town victory! So help purify the town and be active!

Detective:
You have the ability to ask for the role of a specific player. You may only use your ability once per night and you may only act at night. However, you may use your ability every night.

Medic:
You have the ability to prevent one hit on a player of your choice during the night. As 1 KP rules apply, mafia cannot kill the person you choose to protect. However, neither you nor the person you have protected will be notified if you have made a successful save. If you protect a veteran, your ability overrides the veteran's extra life. You are not allowed to protect yourself.

Vigilante:
You may, only once during the game, kill a player of your choice during the night. If your hit overlaps with mafia, your hit will be canceled and you will be able to use your hit at any future night.

Veteran:
You've been around the block a few times and know how to escape an attack on your life. You have an additional night life, which means that you must be hit twice in order to die (these two hits may either be both mafia hits or a mafia and a vigilante hit). You will also know if your extra life has been activated. If you are being protected by a medic, the medic's ability will override yours.

Miller:
You are a townie in every way except that if a DT role checks you, the DT will be told that you are a Mafia. However, you do not know that you are the Miller. Your role pm will say that you 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 Aligned Roles

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 choose to kill nobody if you so choose. You MAY kill other mafia. As a whole, your KP is 1 throughout the whole game, so choose wisely! The mafia also must choose the Godfather from among themselves. If they do not choose by night 1, I will randomly choose for you.

Godfather:
You are the head of the mafia, and when role checked, will show up as any role of your choice. You must choose before Day 1 is over, otherwise I will randomly choose for you.

Roleblocker:
Once per night, you may send in a PM detailing a person you would like to block. That person will be notified that they were blocked, and if the person being blocked has a night action, he or she will not be able to use it. Please note that this ability only pertains to active actions. Passive abilities, such as the Veteran's extra lives, cannot be blocked by mafia.

Player List:
1. Jackal58
2. Barundar
