TL Mafia LVI
+ Show Spoiler [Important Posts] +
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 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 to get their role or 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 or sharing 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.
9. Betting items outside of the game in exchange for in-game benefits.
10. Sharing accounts with other players unless cleared by the host in advance. Otherwise, only you may post on your account.
11. Breadcrumbing the specific phrasing of your role PM. Do not compare the phrasing in your role PM to prove your alignment. You can claim the abilities you have, but you can't use the specific phrasing of your role PM.
12. Posting a false role PM phrased as if you received it from the host. You can still fake roleclaim, but you cannot make it look like you are posting a PM you received from the host.
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. Please do us a favor and read the rules before you ask anything.

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.
Smurfs:

Smurfs must PM the host because TL doesn't allow multiple accounts otherwise. If the host is unaware of smurfs, you (and/or your smurf) can be banned for having multiple accounts.
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 you do not like how someone is talking to you, please PM a host, Flamewheel, or GMarshal before involving the TL staff. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can appeal to the TL staff normally.
Reporting posts:
The report button is a nice feature for regular TL, but not for this forum. We prefer to deal with things in house if possible to avoid confusion among the TL staff. If you have a problem with how someone is posting, talk to the host, co-host, Flamewheel, or GMarshal before using your report button. Please do not use your report button for anything other than inappropriate posts which you feel are not being dealt with adequately.
Ban discussions:
Please wait until this game is over to talk about modkills and bans resulting from this game.
Play to win.
This means you play your best to help your team win while you are alive and in the game. However, this does not mean that you should try to win by being a jerk to the other players so they all want to quit playing.
This also means that you cannot leave the game without a good reason without a ban. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. PM your host if you need to leave the game.
You have been warned.
Out of thread communication:
It is common for mafia (and town circles if PMs are allowed) to use a medium outside of TL such as QuickTopics or IRC to communicate during the game. Please be mindful that other players may be more tech savvy than you and they may attempt impersonate members of your team or attempt to infiltrate your chat. You use these media at your own risk.
Voting rules:
1. Voting is done in a separate thread. 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 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.
7. This game uses plurality lynch. The player with the most votes at the end of the day will be lynched.
Signups:
This game is open to anyone. Signups will remain open until all 27 slots 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 want to use this game to sit out your ban, please PM Flamewheel or post in the Ban List.
Replacements
This game will have the hosts attempt to find replacements for the first Day/Night cycle. After that, each player is responsible for finding their own replacements, or they will be modkilled.
Clues:
There are no clues.
PMs
PMs are not allowed in this game.
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 08 KST, but that is subject to change. Actions/votes will be accepted up to and including the posted time, but not after.

This is a semi-open set-up. All roles will be disclosed, but exact role counts will not be revealed.
Town Win Condition: You win when the Mafia are eliminated.
Mafia Win Condition: You win when you outnumber the Town or nothing can stop that from happening.
Mafia KP = #Mafia/2 (rounded up)
Sword Swallower/Fire Breather/Contortionist/Freak/Juggler/Acrobat (Vanilla Townie): You are a Role Name! You're one of the many performers at the circus, but unfortunately you possess no extra powers besides your charms, you brain, and your vote.
Strongman (Veteran): You are a Strongman! You're the strongest guy around, so strong in fact, that once per game you can survive a hit. You have a twirly moustache and 300 pounds of muscle, you can't stop that so easily! You will be notified if you are hit.
Lion Tamer (Vigilante): You are a Lion Tamer! After years of training fearsome beasts, you've mastered the ability to direct them to do as you please! Once per game at night, you may let your lions loose on one player and he'll become dinner. Your lions will be refunded if someone else gets to your target first.
Medicine Showman (Medic): You are a Medicine Showman! You travel with the circus, selling a variety of snake oils and miracle cures. Those don't work, but the stuff you keep to yourself does. Each night you may give one player a bottle of your special medicine, protecting them from hits that night. You will be notified if you make a save.
Trapeze Artist (Detective): You are a Trapeze Artist! As a performer of death-defying aerial feats, you spend a lot of time practicing for your act. This also gives you the perfect vantage point to watch the doings of your fellow performers. Each night you may observe one other player, and you will be told if they are Good or Evil.
Human Cannonball (Mad Hatter): You are a Human Cannonball! While you're normally the one being shot out of the cannons, you also know a thing or two about using them! Each night you may prime a cannon, up to a maximum of two, and aim it at someone else's tent or wagon! If something should ever happen to you, your assistant will light them, blowing anyone in the way to smithereens! Changing your target counts as a Night Action and you cannot prime a cannon and change the other's target on the same night, or change both targets at once.
Evil Clown (Goon): You are an Evil Clown! You have no other desire than to spread fear and chaos throughout the circus, doing the bidding of you master, the Ringleader. Unfortunately, besides looking creepy, you have no extra powers to help you accomplish this besides your wits and your vote.
Bearded Lady (Roleblocker): You are a Bearded Lady! You are madly in love with the Ringleader and would do anything to please him. Each night, you may use your romantic charms to stop one other player from taking an action. Your target is notified if they spend the night with you.
Magician (Framer): You are a Magician! The Ringleader pays your salary, and you're in debt from buying too many props, so you're glad to keep it that way. Your experience in sleight of hand has made you an expert in being able to sneak into the tents and wagons of others to plant evidence each night, or as you see it, making it magically appear, causing them to appear Evil to any checks.
Ringleader (Godfather): You are the Circus Ringleader! You're the mastermind behind the circus, pulling all the strings. Each night is a chance to accomplish a new nefarious plot, if only there weren't so many pesky people in your way. Well, at least they won't ever figure out your true intentions, since you return Good to all checks!
Mafia Roles:
At the beginning of the game, Mafia will be given a list of their roles, that they can distribute as they wish throughout their team. This choice must be submitted to me within 24 hours of the game starting via PM, or I will RNG the choices.
All role descriptions are purely flavour, and do not imply the presence or absence of any other role. All flavour will appear exactly as it is here. This is a complete and accurate list of all possible roles in the game, although not all roles may appear in the game.
House Rules:
1. Spam:
I don't like spam. Please consolidate your posts and stay on the topic of the game. When you make a post, ask yourself if there's anything you'd like to add before you hit the post button, and don't treat the thread like it's IRC. Let's keep the thread readable. If I feel you are spamming, I will contact you with a warning. If you continue to spam, I will not hesitate to take action.
2. Out-of-thread Information:
Do not refer to activity which occurs outside of this thread or information gained by out-of-thread communication. For example, do not mention that someone has not shown up on Steam all day as a way of verifying that they are legitimately away and not just faking inactivity. I will warn you once. After that, I will modkill/replace you.
If you need any clarification on either of these rules, feel free to contact me in PM or make a post about it here.

Newbies are allowed, right? :D
I know edits are not allowed, but the game has not started and it is more neat this way
[questions]
Does 3 KP means 3 kills?
If there are less than 3 scums, do they still get 3 kills? I noticed it says "current" KP. Does it mean it will change over time?
Vig shoot scum, scum shoot vig. what happens?
I am unclear what a mat hatter is. Can you confirm this? Each night you get to pick one target. You may stack up to two targets (I assume that takes 2 nights). You can also change your target, which is counted as 1 action. In short, every night, you can do one of the following, aim your cannon at one target or switch target. If you got night killed or lynched, your targets will die.
Can you also choose to disarm your cannon? (aim at no one) Does that count as one night action?
KP stands for Kill Power and it's the amount of hits mafia can make per night. The equation for Mafia KP is #Mafia Alive divided by 2 rounded up. So, with 6 mafia to start, that's 6/2 = 3. Once there's 4 Mafia, the KP will drop to 2, and when there's only 2 left it will drop to 1.
If vig and scum both shoot, they should both die. All actions resolve simultaneously except for specific situations, such as mafia and a vig stacking their hits in which case the vig is refunded his shot, or roleblockers/framers, which always act first.
A mad hatter is a role which places bombs on his targets, and when he is killed at night, those bombs explode. Note that they do not go off if he is lynched. In this game, each night the Hatter can place one bomb, or change the target of one of the bombs that have already been placed. He can't do both at once in this game. He can have a total of two bombs placed at once. Note that placing a bomb or changing the target counts as a night action, which means it can be roleblocked.
Once the bombs are placed, they cannot be removed, only changed from who they're put on.
Extra Clarification:
Roleblocks do not block passive abilities. Passive abilities include Veteran's extra lives and the explosion of Mad Hatter bombs when they are killed.
No roles are compulsory. Any role can choose not to act on any night. If the hosts do not receive a PM with a night action, it will be assumed that you have chosen to abstain from taking a night action.
Everything that appears in Day/Night posts is flavour. If a Ringmaster is mentioned in the opening post, it does not imply that one is in play. If someone is eaten by lions, it does not imply that they were killed by a vigilante, etc. This is not a clue game!
Night Action PMs:
All roles with active abilities will receive a PM each night that they act. The PMs will appear as follows:
Detective:
You successfully investigated X last night. He returned Evil/Good
Vigilante:
You successfully shot X last night.
Medic:
You successfully protected X last night.
You successfully protected X last night. He was shot.
Veteran:
You were hit last night.
Mad Hatter:
You successfully placed a bomb on X last night.
You successfully changed your bomb from X to Y last night.
Roleblocker:
You successfully roleblocked X last night.
Framer:
You successfully framed X last night.
In the case that you are roleblocked, you will not receive any of these PMs. Instead, all roles will receive:
You were roleblocked last night.
All PMs sent at night will appear exactly, or near exactly, how they are here. Do not try to use any PM you receive from a host as a way to confirm roles or catch mafia. If you ask a question of the hosts in PM, and wish to mention the answer in the thread, ask the question again in the thread. Don't claim host knowledge without the hosts explicitly stating it.
Mafia will not receive confirmation PMs for their hits. It is assumed that all hits are successful. Mafia may send in all their actions, including hits, together, or each role may send in their own action for Framers and Roleblockers. Hits can be sent in by any member of the mafia. Only the last actions received will be counted. In the case of an individual sending in an action and a list of actions being sent, the action sent in by the individual will be counted unless he explicitly changes it or allows for others to change his action for him.
Actions must be sent by PM to the hosts. Actions written in the Mafia QT will not be counted.
Night Actions:
Remember to send a PM to both hosts detailing your Night Actions. In the case that one of the hosts are not around, the other host will act based on the PMs that he has received. Any missing actions will not be retroactively applied.
Host Communications:
Please send any information about activity, being absent, or needing replacement to both the hosts.

Do you get your bombs back if the person they are on dies?
From the flavor text it would seem so but since it is flavor I wanted to clarify.
You can just place new ones onto a maximum of two people at once.

While the role flavour is indeed awesome, this is clearly the best part
