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, each day will reveal clues pointing to such individuals allowing the town to analyze them and point fingers all they want. Its 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. As many people sign up as you want and the game is balanced between a group of mafia and a large town with a variety of roles.
This mafia game works slightly different than the normal one (read: Mafia), so I'll explain it a bit more. Once everyone who wishes to play is signed up a mayor will be elected. The mayor himself has a special role but once he's elected he will have bodyguards (depending on the number of people in the game) keeping him from dying at night.
During the night mafia will send in their hits to me, who they want dead. Any player with a special role that can act during night must PM me their wishes. I will set a fixed date in which all role must be turned in before I start day.
During the day you will see the bloody death of many of your friends with a handful of clues left behind. Clues can be taken from anywhere, so long as I see it relating to the person they are intended for. This means posts, names, sigs, profiles, blogs, things related to names, etc. Any player with a special role that can act during day must PM it to me so I can set it in motion. The whole town, including the mafia, will meet and discuss this turn of events and everyone will vote for who they want lynched that day.
If the mafia at any time outnumber the townspeople they win the game. The goal for the townspeople is to lynch all the members of the mafia by interpreting clues and voting for them during the day. The goal of the mafia, of course, is to kill the townspeople with murderous precision.
Voting rules, since people always need it spelled out.
1. You must clearly declare your vote "ie: 'I vote for X'". Votes such as "I'll pick this guy" or "I want him to die" are not acceptable.
2. You can not autochange your vote to the losing or winning bandwagon.
3. You cannot vote for yourself or anyone dead or outside the game.
4. In the event of a tie the person with the most votes first wins (or loses, lol!) over the other person.
General game rules:
1. Once you are dead you may not post anything that may affect the game. I don't care if you post, just watch what you say.
2. Try to keep posting mafia game related, the thread gets hard to read and annoying when there are 12 posts of spam per 1 post of actual content.
Signups: PM me, IM me (information in my profile), or post here. If I miss or forget your name politely remind me. Remember what clues are based off of. If you don't have much information on the site or relating to you for me to access then don't blame me if people easily find out who you are by my clues. The more the merrier also, sign up, the game doesn't take much time to play, just read and post once every couple days and there is no max number of players that can participate.

Roles (you will randomly be given a role via PM once the game starts!)
Towny - You have no special powers! All you can do is participate in the game and vote.
Mafia - Your Don wishes nothing but to take over the world, but first you must take care of your home town! You will know who your fellow mafia members are and get the ability to kill townies each night. You may not target mafia members, however. Mafia killing power will be decided once signups are closed.
Mayor - The mayor, elected at the start of the game, is the superfluous leader of the town. His special abilities are: increased vote count (depending on the number of people in the game), ability to declare 4 double lynches anytime during the game (must notify me night before or early on in the day so voting is arranged accordingly), cannot be killed during night while his bodyguard(s) are alive, and has the super special ability to lynch whoever he chooses right after being elected. Only the mayor knows who the bodyguards are.
Pardoner - As a check and balance to the Mayor, the pardoner is the runner up to the mayer. He has the protection of the very same bodyguards as the Mayor and remains invincible at night also. His special ability, however, is to pardon up to 4 people from being lynched at any time during the course of the game. He must notify me while voting is coming to a close (you'll usually be able to tell who is going to get lynched towards the end of voting) or right after I have ended it. I will wait a bit between votes being tallied and the shift into night when people are lynched so you will also have time then to notify me. The pardoner may not pardon himself, and he may not pardon more than one person per day.
Bodyguard - Random vanilla townies will receive the role of bodyguard once the mayor and pardoner have been elected. The mayor alone will know who these people are.
Vigilante - You have the ability to kill 2 people of your choice during the night phase in the game. You cannot use both at once and may wait to use them whenever you feel like. But be careful, because a clue will be left behind that points to you for the mafia (or the town) to interpret. You must wait until the second night of the game to be able to kill, however. And your hits will be ignored if mafia are also hitting the same person, but your hit will be used up.
Detective - You have the ability to ask me, once per day/night cycle, whether or not a specific clue points to a specific person. You will receive a simple yes or no answer and hopefully be able to sway the vote in such a way that reflects that answer. Alternatively, you can use your power to find out how many mafia voted for a specific person for lynching, you may only learn about one person voted on.
Paramedic - You have the ability to watch one other player during night, which you must tell me about before the end of night (preferably before night even starts). You may choose not to use this ability also. When a player is watched he cannot die unless the number of people attacking him outnumbers the number of people watching him. In other words if two mafia attack a person being watched by one paramedic, the person will die. A clue will not be left behind, the town won't know who was saved, but I will let the Paramedic know if he saved the person or not and let the person know if he was saved or not.
Elder - You have much say in the town due to your status. Which in terms of mafia, means you get an extra vote. You may vote normally during the day but to use your extra vote you must PM or IM it to me and I will simply mark you down on the list as 'Elder'. You don't have to vote for the same person twice. This extra vote may not be used to elect a mayor. And you do not get 2 extra votes if double lynch is in effect.
Veteran - You've been around the block a few times and know how to escape an attack on your life. But for how long? The veteran gets two night lives, meaning he must be hit by two attackers to kill him (much like having a paramedic watching over you, except you lose one life if you incur one attack).
There are many roles not listed that may be used in future mafias, but for right now this is what we're working with.
