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.
Rules:
Cheating:
Cheating includes (but is not limited to):
- Posting after death. You may have one polite goodbye post, but it may not contain any potentially game-changing information.
- Ruining the game by doing something like hand out your mafia's member list to the town or literally claim scum.
- Logging on to someone else's account to get their role or looking over someone's shoulder to get their role.
- Posting screenshots of anything.
- Posting any PM you received in connection to this game.
- Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
- Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
- Betting items outside of the game in exchange for in-game benefits.
- Sharing accounts with other players unless cleared by the host in advance. Otherwise, only you may post on your account.
Posting:
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 warned or modkilled at host's discretion.
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. If you don't want to ask your question in the thread then feel free to PM host/cohost and then you don't have to use this font. If you ask about something that's already in the thread then expect snide remarks to accompany your answer.
Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason ever. Editing will result in a warning or a modkill at host's discretion. 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 really have to edit anything.
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. This also means you should condense your posts when possible. 15 one-liners in 30 minutes is unacceptable.
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 Mig before involving the TL staff. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can appeal to the TL staff normally.
I'm going to warn you if you're being excessively unpleasant towards other players. If you disregard my warning then I'm going to modkill you. This is not DotA2.
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, cohost, flamewheel, or Mig 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. Do NOT ask for modkills or discuss modkills during the game
Smurfs:
No smurfs. I will not accept smurfs under any circumstances.
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 to use a medium outside of TL such as QuickTopics or IRC or Skype 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:
- Voting is done in this thread. You cannot PM me your vote.
- Please vote in the following format: ##Vote: Qatol. Votes not done in the correct fashion may not be counted. Vote counts will be updated whenever intermittently.
- No conditional voting.
- You may vote for yourself. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game.
- In the event of a tie the person with the most votes first wins (or loses).
- You may vote for a No Lynch in the format: ##Vote: No Lynch
- Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain.
Signups:
This game is open to players with 3 or fewer games on this forum. Signups will remain open until the game is full. I might let you join if you have more than three games but they were played a very long time ago. Type /in to play.
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 uses replacements. If a player is modkilled then they will be replaced by a player on the replacement list if possible.
Clues:
There are no clues anywhere.
PMs
PMs are not allowed in this game.
Time Cycle:
01:00 GMT (+00:00) is the cycle start and end time
This game will follow a 48 hour day/24 hour night cycle. In case I am not able to post around deadline, any votes after the 48 hour mark (that is any votes after 01:00 GMT (+00:00)) will not count. Currently the deadline is 01:00 GMT (+00:00), but that may be subject to change. During the night, there will be a 1 hour resolution period during which actions will not be accepted. You may post during this time. In other words, the deadline for night actions is 00:00 GMT (+00:00). Do not post after 01:00 GMT (+00:00) for day and night cycles before the day/night post goes up).

Setup
The setup is a semi-open setup for 9 players; that is, all the possible roles are given but the number of each is not known. Not all of the roles will necessarily be present. The game is inherently balanced for both sides depending on the types and numbers of roles that appear. The mafia win when they outnumber the town or they reach a scenario when this becomes inevitable. Town wins by eliminating all mafia members. Mafia kill power is always 1.
Possible Roles
Dumbledore’s Army Member (Vanilla Town)
+ Show Spoiler +
Welcome to Dumbledore’s Army! You were one of the people smart enough to go down to Hogsmeade and take a stand in the fight against the Slytherins! However, you are not very good at Defense Against the Dark Arts due to the constant shift in teaching style, so you basically only know how to vote. You win (and continue your Defense Against the Dark Arts training) with Dumbledore’s Army. Do not discuss ongoing games outside of the thread or you will be modkilled.
Ron Weasley (Cop)
+ Show Spoiler +
You are Ron Weasley! Your connection to your mischievous brothers Fred and George has allowed you to get an unlimited supply of Extendable Ears! Once per night, you may eavesdrop on another student by pming the hosts with ##Eavesdrop: Player. You will get a pm back telling you whether your target is in Dumbledore’s Army or a Slytherin! You win with Dumbledore’s Army. Do not discuss ongoing games outside of the thread or you will be modkilled.
Hermione Granger (Doctor)
+ Show Spoiler +
You are Hermione Granger, smartest witch in your year and the brainchild behind the magic of Dumbledore’s army! Once per night, you may cast Protego on another player by pming the hosts with ##Protego: Player. That player will be protected from 1 KP. You cannot protect the same player on consecutive nights. You win with Dumbledore’s Army. Do not discuss ongoing games outside of the thread or you will be modkilled.
Neville Longbottom (Town Roleblocker)
+ Show Spoiler +
You are Neville Longbottom! You are very clumsy and still forget everything that you need to do, and you aren’t very good looking yet. However, you can cast Expelliarmus pretty well. Once per night, you may roleblock a player by pming the hosts with ##Expelliarmus: Player. They will be disarmed and unable to perform anything at all while they go searching for their wands, including Night Killing if they are the Slytherin making the hit. Did I mention that you are damn good at Expelliarmus? You win with Dumbledore’s Army. Do not discuss ongoing games outside of the thread or you will be modkilled.
Gregory Goyle (Mafia Goon)
+ Show Spoiler +
You are Gregory Goyle! You’re not very good at magic, so you have no special powers. You can still carry out the night kill, however. Your fellow Slytherins are [players]. Your Common Room QT can be accessed at: link. However, you may use any method of communication, such as Muggle smoke signals or some other silly shenanigans. You win when you outnumber the town or when you reach a scenario where this becomes inevitable. Do not discuss ongoing games outside of the thread or you will be modkilled.
Vincent Crabbe (Mafia Roleblocker)
+ Show Spoiler +
You are Vincent Crabbe! You’re slightly better than Goyle at magic, so you get to be the one to cast expelliarmus. While it isn’t a real curse, you know your place in the order and do it anyways. Once per night, you may roleblock a player by pming the hosts with ##Expelliarmus: Player. They will be disarmed and unable to perform anything at all while they go searching for their wands. Your fellow Slytherins are [players]. Your Common Room QT can be accessed at: link. However, you may use any method of communication, such as Muggle smoke signals or some other silly shenanigans. You win when you outnumber the town or when you reach a scenario where this becomes inevitable. Do not discuss ongoing games outside of the thread or you will be modkilled.
Draco Malfoy (Mafia Godfather)
+ Show Spoiler +
You are Draco Malfoy! You are the leader of the Slytherins, and the main man behind their operations. You are smart enough to meet in the depths of the Slytherin Dungeons, so Extendable Ears cannot reach you. You return Dumbledore’s Army to all checks. Your fellow Slytherins are [players]. Your Common Room QT can be accessed at: link. However, you may use any method of communication, such as Muggle smoke signals or some other silly shenanigans. You win when you outnumber the town or when you reach a scenario where this becomes inevitable. Do not discuss ongoing games outside of the thread or you will be modkilled.
Q&A
- Scum KP is fixed at 1.
- All players, regardless of role, are notified of roleblocks.
- Neither Docs nor their targets are notified of saved hits.
- Scum chooses 1 member to carry out the night hit. In the event that there is a scum roleblocker, he may carry out the night kill and roleblock someone in the same night, should he so choose. If the mafia member carrying out the night kill is roleblocked, no kill will take place.
- Passive abilities are NOT roleblockable (GF Check Immunity).
- Action Resolution: RB > Everything else. That means it is utterly impossible to prevent a real Roleblock from happening. If B roleblocks C, and C roleblocks B, both B and C will be roleblocked because both roleblocks "go out" at the same time.
If you have any other questions, you may PM me, or ask in the thread with bold green text.
Shoutout to everyone responsible for balancing stuff and Acro+Toadsstern who's OP I basically stole

K, from what I can tell, a smurf is an alt account. I can assure you, I just opened my first account a few minutes ago. I've only ever lurked.

Ah, welcome to TL.
Enjoy Mafia here
You are correct, a smurf is an account used to hide one's real identity (generally to prevent Metagame reads on a player or to get into games you would otherwise not be able to join). Metagame reads would basically be: "Everytime Oats rolled in the past scum he didn't post much, so now that Oats is posting a lot this game I think he is town" or similar opinions based on past games the player has participated in.
