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 or you risk modkill.

Question Font:
This is question font. Use it to ask the moderators questions about the rules. Feel free to ask us anything, but do us a favor and read the rules before you ask.

Activity:
You must post in this thread once per day/night cycle and vote every day while you are alive. If you fail to do so, you will be modkilled.

Spam:
Spam is not tolerated, nor is any off-topic material. Do not discuss Proleague here. Do not talk about Starcraft II here. Play Mafia here.

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. If what you say is against the TL forum rules in general, we also reserve the right to call a TL mod down on your sorry ass.

Play to win.

Voting rules:

1. Voting is done in a separate thread, which will be created when this game starts. Please keep votes there, and only vote there. Do not PM me your vote.
2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote Qatol. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I will update vote counts whenever I get the chance.
3. No conditional voting.
4. You may not vote for yourself. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game.
5. In the event of a tie the person with the most votes first wins (or loses).
6. Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain.

Signups:

This game is open to anyone who has played at least 1 game of TL mafia. Signups will remain open until all 15 spots have been filled.

Game-specific rules:

Modkills:
This game follows the TL Mafia Ban List. If you are modkilled, your punishment will go beyond being eliminated from this game. Please refer to it for questions about your punishment. If you wish to contest a modkill, please do so in the Ban Thread, do not continue to post in this thread.

Clues:
There are no clues.

PMs
PMs are not allowed in this game unless your role allows for it.

Time Cycle:
This game will follow a 24 hour night/48 hour day cycle. In case I am not able to post around deadline, any votes after the 48 hour mark will not count and the game will be put on halt until the night post is up. Currently the deadline is MIDNIGHT, US East Time, but that is subject to change.

Credits:
Thanks to anyone who has ever hosted a game. This list grows ever longer.
Thanks to flamewheel and Qatol for helping to balancing this game. Even a game as seemingly simple as this was pretty difficult to balance.
Thanks again to Qatol for providing the Mafia OP 2.0

If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so. I will not compensate for ignorance!

ROLES

This is a semi-closed setup. Some Roles and their abilities will be disclosed, however role counts will not be. There is at least one of every Roles below. There may be other Roles not listed.

TOWN-ALIGNED ROLES

HONEST CITIZEN:
You are a peaceful citizen of Liquidville. How could a terrorist cell ever appear in your town?! Your goal is to survive and help town discover and kill the Sleeper Cell. You have a single vote by day.

INTELLIGENCE AGENT:
Agent 007, that's you! You're cool, calm, and collected, with a license to kill. You have the ability to shoot one person at night. However, your tendency to leave carcasses everywhere has left you on probation; If you kill again, you will lose your License! If you are alive at the end of the game, you'll get the girl!

INTELLIGENCE ANALYST:
The Agent may be the muscle, but you’re the brain of the SIA. You have access to super cool technology and have a PHD in Psychology so you may investigate one player's alignment each night. Unfortunately, your PHD is from ITT Tech so sometimes you mess up. You have a 25% chance of finding "Insufficient Information for Analysis".

SLEEPER AGENT:
As a young child, you were constantly reminded of your mission. Every day, you would wake up and stare down the picture on your bedside table: your target, President Qatol. You moved to his hometown and was preparing to kill him, when all of a sudden the police arrived. You do not know any of the other Cell member's identities. Each night, you will leave a message naming the player you believe should be killed in a dead drop (mine and chaoser's pm inbox). Investigations of you return "Not Town".

CELL LEADER:
Your entire life has been devoted to running your tiny cell of agents. The time has come to put them into action. You know the names of all other Agents. You always returns "Insufficient Information for Analysis" to investigations. Each night, you will recieve a list of agents and their votes. In the event of a TIE in voting, or if ALL nominations are agents, you may cast tiebreaking vote. In the event of death, flips Cell Leader and a new Cell Leader is chosen by RNG between remaining Agents. You may send a message consisting of 5 words or 20 characters to any agent at dawn and dusk of each day. Submit it like a normal action. The message can't contain the name of any player. The message is PM'd to both myself and chaoser. We will send it to the player you specify. Cute attempts to get around the "No Names" rule or the word/char limit will result in the message being "lost". Feel free to crumb, just don't put the name (or any form of the name) in there. If all agents are dead, you may choose each kill.

Mafia wins when they outnumber Town and Town has no killing roles remaining. Mafia will kill the submitted name with a simple majority of votes.
