DarthPunk and mkfuba07 are helping me co-host this game. Any questions can be directed towards them or myself.
Town Coaches: Mocsta, [UoN]Sentinel, Blazinghand
Scum Coaches: Ace
I highly recommend using the coaches for advice during the game! Don't be afraid to contact them!
Newbie Mini Mafia XLVII
+ Show Spoiler [Day/Nightposts] +
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.  is also allowed, but please keep it limited and in proximity to night/dayposts
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.
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.
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. BE ACTIVE OR FACE MY ETERNAL WRATH!
Smurfs:
No smurfs in here. This is a newbie game!
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.
Encryption:
Don't do 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 using the acronym (EBWOP: Edit by way of posting) if you want to clarify/correct something you just posted.
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.
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 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.
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 me or the co-hosts if you need to leave the game.
You have been warned.
Voting rules:
This game uses Plurality Lynch. The person with the most votes at the end of the day will be lynched.
1. Voting is done in a separate thread, located here: (link) Please keep votes there, and only vote there. Do not PM me your vote.
2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote: ShiaoPi. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I or my co-hosts will update vote counts whenever we get the chance.
2.5 If you change your vote, please ##Unvote before posting another vote (can be done in the same post).
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.
Signups:
This game is open to players with 3 or fewer games on TL Mafia. Signups will remain open until the game is full. If you have played more but a long time ago, I might accept. Type /in if you want 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. Replacements will be made until Day 3. If a player is modkilled, they will be replaced by a player on the replacement list if possible. Type /replace if you want to be put on the replacement list. Replacements have to fulfill the same criteria as people who want to play (aka 3 games or fewer on TL Mafia).
Clues:
There are no clues.
PMs
PMs are not allowed in this game. No out-of-thread communication of any sort is allowed unless cleared by the hosts. Scum will be provided a QT to communicate in, as will Masons, Hydras or shadowing players.
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 22:00 GMT (+00:00), but that is subject to change. Actions/votes will be accepted up to and including the posted time, but not after.

Thanks to kitaman27 for balancing.
Thanks to Ange777 for giving me the idea for the Skyfall flavor.

On February 20 2013 21:59 Acrofales wrote:Newbie-specific stuff - It's already in the rules, but remember, no editing. If you feel you must correct your post, please make a second post to clarify your statements. You may put EBWOP ("Edit by way of post," a handy acronym invented by semioldguy) at the beginning of your post to indicate that you are clearing up a point you made. If your EBWOP post is several posts after your original, please quote your original post in your EBWOP post for the sake of clarity.
- Only sign up if you know you will have the time available to properly play the game. It is essential that players remain active in a newbie game, so only /in if you are able to play to your fullest.
- If there is any sort of issue, you are unsure about some mechanic, or you are just wondering if your devilish scheme is even allowed, feel free to PM me, or ask in-thread with green text. Don't feel shy; these games are meant to be a place to learn and be open.
- Behave as gentlemen (or ladies). Things get heated here, but personal attacks will not be acceptable, and will be dealt with accordingly. Remember, this is a game; have fun and happy scumhunting!
- Please do not talk about any ongoing games either in-game or pre-game. This can affect other games and is unacceptable. Please do not refer to outside-of- thread activity of players in this thread.
- If you receive coaching, don't tell town about it.
- glhf!

SKYFALL MAFIA![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a7/Skyfall_poster.jpg)
Setup Information
This game has a semi-open setup. All possible roles are listed below, the exact numbers however are not revealed.
Terrorist Wincondition: Eliminate all of the MI6-aligned players or reach a scenario in which nothing can stop that from happening!
MI6-Wincondition: Eliminate all the Terrorists!
There will be 3 Players of the Terrorist-Faction.
Potential MI6-Roles
MI6-Agent (Village Townie):+ Show Spoiler [Role PM] +You are a MI6 Agent. While you are able to be pretty kickass in your own right, the threat that MI6 faces this time is on a whole new level. Support your superiors as good as you can! You have no powers besides your vote!
Eve Moneypenny (Masoner): + Show Spoiler [Role PM] +You areEve Moneypenny, a field agent of MI6. You have always been paired up with other agents during your work. Making you very experienced at dealing with other people. Every night you can choose to be paired up with another player by PMing the hosts with: ##Mason: Playername. You will be given a QT in which you can communicate in private for a single day/night-cycle. You win with the MI6!
Gareth Mallory (Jailkeeper):+ Show Spoiler [Role PM] +You are Gareth Mallory, the chairman of the security and intelligence committee in the British Parliament. Many in the MI6 only think of you as the cumbersome civilian controller, but you can use your power to aid the MI6 in this terrorist threat. Every night you can choose to invite a player to a parliamentary hearing to testify about their part in the ongoing crisis. This will roleblock them during the entire night, making them unable to perform any actions. It will also put them under the protection of the officers at the entrance to the Parliament effectively saving the target from 1 KP. PM the hosts with: ##Jail: Playername to do so. You win with the MI6!
M (Alignment Cop):+ Show Spoiler [Role PM] +You are M, the head of MI6. As chief in command of MI6 you have unlimited access to the entire databank of the United Kingdom's Intelligence services. Every night you can choose to check for one player within by PMing the hosts: ##Check: Playername. Their alignment will be revealed to you as either MI6-Agent or Terrorist. You win with the MI6!
Kincade (Veteran):+ Show Spoiler [Role PM] +You are Kincade, the gamekeeper of Skyfall Manor. During your lifetime you have seen almost everything and are surprised by nothing. Your experience proves to be invaluable, when people start to go after you. You have 1 extra life during the nightphase. You win with the MI6!
Agent 007 James Bond (Vigilante):+ Show Spoiler [Role PM] +You are Bond, James Bond, Agent 007 of the MI6. Facing off against yet another terrorist threat you are of course empowered to use lethal force against the enemy. Unfortunately leaving dead bodies in your wake is a cumbersome thing to explain to your superiors so you have restricted yourself to a single kill this time. After Day 2 you can choose to deliver 1KP at night by PMing the hosts with: ##Kill: Playername. This ability is only usable once. You win with the MI6!
Bill Tanner (Parity Cop): + Show Spoiler [Role PM] +You are Bill Tanner, chief of staff of MI6. You have nearly limitless access to the databases of the United Kingdom's intelligence services. Your access is fixed at comparison of suspects. At Night 1 you have to choose a player for your first comparison by PMing the hosts: ##Check: Playername. At Night 2 you will have to check another player. You will receive results at the end of Night 2. You will either receive same or different, depending on the checked alignments. You cannot check yourself. You win with the MI6!
Q (Doctor): + Show Spoiler [Role PM] +You are Q. The mastermind behind countless gadgets for Agent 007. You are the unsung hero behind the scenes. Every night you can choose to use your inventions to save someones life by PMing the hosts with: ##Save: Playername. They will be subsequently saved from 1 KP. You cannot protect yourself. You cannot protect the same player for consecutive nights. You win with the MI6!
Potential Terrorist Roles
Henchman (Goon):+ Show Spoiler [Role PM] +You are a Henchman. While you are considered cannon fodder by your boss you are still able to shoot reasonably well with your gun. Aid the Terrorists in this fight against MI6 and you will be duly rewarded with some nice cash! You have no powers beside your vote. Your teammates are: -REDACTED- You can communicate with them in this QT: -REDACTED-
Raoul Silva (Framer):+ Show Spoiler [Role PM] +You are Raoul Silva, Ex-MI6 Agent turned cyberterorrist. Having worked for the MI6 in the past you know exactly what those guys are looking for when searching for terrorists and you can use that knowledge for your own benefit. Every night you are able to frame a player's alignment to display the opposite of the actual one by PMing the hosts: ##Frame: Playername. Your Teammates are:-REDACTED- You can communicate in this QT: -REDACTED-
Patrice (Role Cop):+ Show Spoiler [Role PM] +You are Patrice, the head mercenary in Silva's pay. You have stolen the Hard Drive with the identities of the undercover agents of NATO-states within terrorist organisations. You can use this information to check for the role of one player every night by PMing the hosts: ##Rolecheck: Playername. They will return either MI6-Agent (aka no blue role) or their role will be revealed to you. Your Teammates are:-REDACTED- You can communicate in this QT: -REDACTED-
Séverine (Roleblocker):+ Show Spoiler [Role PM] +You are Séverine, Silva's beautiful mistress. Every night you can choose to "get down" on a player, occupying their attention the entire night and blocking them from taking any other action.

Yeah it's pretty much the standard nowadays. Majority and instant majority games still happen though, although I can't recall the last time a newbie game wasn't plurality. Consolidating is required much earlier in majority and it turns a lot more people into sheep, which I think are both bad things to learn in your first couple of games.
