There is no cohost for this game. All questions can be directed toward me via PM.

LSB's Newbie Guide

Introduction to Mafia (Flash)


Introduction:

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 goal of this game is to assist newer players in learning the rules and protocol of mafia. Think of this game as a "test run" to see if you enjoy mafia enough to perhaps play in one of our larger games. If you have any questions about how the game works or want general tips on how to play, there are a lot of resources available. 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.

Question Font:
This is question font. Use it to ask the moderators questions about the rules.

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.

Decorum:
Games of mafia can become surprisingly emotional. The rule of thumb is to attack players arguments, not their character. There is a fine line between provocation and flaming. If you cross that line you will be warned. Flaming is highly discouraged and may result in modkills.

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.

Something life-ending this way comes.



Voting rules:

1. Voting is done in this thread. 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 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 is lynched
6. Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain.


Signups:

This game is open to new players only. The purpose of this game is to help new players learn the game of mafia and to prepare them for a larger/normal game.


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 have questions about modkills and how they work, please ask.

Clues:
There are no clues.

PMs
PMs are not allowed in this game. If you private message another player about the game, it is considered cheating. Mafia aligned players are allowed to communicate through PM with eachother.

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 11 PM EST, but that is subject to change.


Credits:
Thanks to anyone who has ever hosted a game. This list grows ever longer.
Thanks to everyone who helped balance this game.

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


Town Aligned:

Townie
You are just a normal player with no night actions. All you can do is vote during the day. But the town needs you to win so be active!

Cop
You can make night investigations. Once per night you may ask for the alignment of any player. Alignments are either Town or Mafia. You are always sane. Alignment checks come back with the next day post.

Doctor
You have the power to save lives. Once per night you can watch a player. If your target is attacked, you will block one hit aimed at them. If you make a successful save, both you and your target will be notified of the save. You cannot save yourself. You can not protect the same person twice in a row.

Mafia Aligned:

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 is always 1 until there are no mafia remaining.

Roleblocker
You are a mafia member who has the ability to prevent a player from performing a night action. Once per night, you may roleblock a player, and your target will be unable to perform night actions for that night. Your target will be informed that they have been roleblocked (even if they didn't have a night action). You do not have to use your action every night.


3 of 3 MAFIA remaining:
? of ? Goons alive
? of ? Roleblockers alive
Mafia KP = 1

8 of 8 TOWN remaining:
? of ? Medics alive
? of ? Detectives alive

I am only accepting first-time/extremely inexperienced players into this game. If you are experienced and want to be involved you may sign up to offer advice to players. I request you do not make comments on specifics of the game, just offer general advice and answer questions if players wish to PM you. Thanks. If you have any questions about the game, PM me and I will clarify. Have fun.

With mafia KP at 2 its 2 mislynches and lose. Switching to 8 townies and 1 KP would be more fair imo. I might assist. If its only general information though anyone can do it, even the players themselves.

Don't we already have a normal mini game with standard roles set for newcomers?
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. Bus Driver can never target themselves I'm sorry

You're doing mini mafia? Why not just do a 30/31 person game and have us co-host together?

I honestly think that a smaller game might be a little less overwhelming for people who are trying to learn the ropes. Also, a big game might take longer to fill up and get going, and I think they have been waiting long enough. I think 2 mini games where nobody can play in both at the same time and with at most like 1-2 experienced players would be best.

25 is a good size, I think. A lot of people just got access, but 2 games of 11 might be preferable? Maybe transition from the mini learning games into a bootcamp style larger game then?

That sounds like a better plan. 2 mini learning games, then a larger bootcamp game combining players from the mini games. It should also keep the inactives in the regular games to a minimum as the people who decide mafia isn't for them will by and large be filtered out after 2 games.

You should probably only be a replacement. It isn't really fair to the other 30 people who just got into the Mafia Forum with you and haven't signed up for a game yet. Alternatively, you could sign up for RoL's experiment games (sign up via PM). I believe he still has open spots for those.

This will be my first time playing. Sign me up!

I'm busy over this week but I should have some time to contribute to the game. After this I'll have tons of free time (I hope).

This is true, I do have open slots. If you are committed to activity I will accept you, if my experiment gets fucked over I will rage really hard.

Also DrH, you didn't say if this was an F11 set up or not? It looks really weird. I will PM you with why.
