EPT![[image loading]](http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n99/chuiu/TLmafia.png)
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 collectively decide on and send in their hits to me, who they want dead (its a good idea to discuss them during day so you know ahead of time). Any player with a special role that can act during night must PM me their wishes each night.
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.
This round I will attempt to make more fast paced. Each day or night will last a fixed 48 hours, but there is no guarantee life won't interfere (gimme a break, I work and go to school just like most of you guys). 48 hours is a small amount of time to wait, really, and I feel its plenty of time for people to catch up on the thread and make sound decisions.
Rules: (they are all subject to change before the start of the game!)
General game rules:
1. Once you are dead you may not post anything at all. People are getting irritated with dead people talking so sorry but dead people are now forbidden from talking during the game. People not playing are advised not to post in the thread also. Moderators please help out with this where you can, if players insist on continuing to post I'll just ban them from playing the game again.
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.
3. New rule, you must vote. Whether its 'I abstain from voting' or not you must cast a vote.
Voting rules, since people always need it spelled out.
1. You must post your vote in the vote thread, I decided I don't like people IM'ing me or PM'ing me their votes, it lets them lay too low. The current day vote thread will always be linked to on this post, the day post, and it will always be in my blog if for some reason you do not see it on the previous two places.
2. 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.
3. You can not autochange your vote to the losing or winning bandwagon.
4. You cannot vote for yourself or anyone dead or outside the game.
5. In the event of a tie the person with the most votes first wins (or loses!) over the other person.
6. You may abstain, but must let me know: ie: 'I abstain from voting'.
Signups: PM me or post here. If I miss or forget your name politely remind me, this game gets overwhelming sometimes. 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.
If you wanted to be signed up and I missed you for some reason, please let me know. If you didn't want to be signed up and I forgot to remove your name or know someone who did want to be removed, please let me know

Roles (you will randomly be given a role via PM once the game starts!)
The Town:
Towny - You have no special powers! All you can do is participate in the game and vote.
Mayor - The mayor, elected at the start of the game, has numerous roles. His special abilities are: increased vote count (depending on the number of people in the game), ability to declare X 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. When double lynches are in effect each player gets two vote on two different people.
Pardoner - As a check and balance to the Mayor, the pardoner is the runner up to the mayor. 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 X 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 townies will receive the role of bodyguard once the mayor and pardoner have been elected. The mayor alone will know who these people are. The bodyguard cannot be a mafia or special role, he can only be a regular towny.
Vigilante - You have the ability to kill up to two people of your choice at any night phase in the game. You cannot use both at once and may wait to use them whenever you feel like. A clue will be left behind that points to you for the mafia (or the town) to interpret. You must also wait until the second night of the game to act. If your hits ever overlap with a mafia hit I will cancel it and notify you the following day and you will be able to use it again. If your hit overlaps with another Vigilante I will cancel all other hits but the first one and will notify anyone who's hit didn't go through the following day and you will be able to use it again. You will not be told if it was mafia or murderer that caused your hit to be canceled.
Detective - You have three abilities you may use. You have the ability to ask me whether or not a specific clue points to a specific person and get a yes/no answer. You have the ability to, twice a game, ask me what role a specific person has. And for the last ability you may ask me how many mafia voted to lynch a specific person (cannot use this on mayor election). You may only use one ability per day/night cycle.
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 three night lives, meaning he must be hit by three attackers to kill him (much like having two paramedics watching over you, except you lose one life if you incur one attack). If a paramedic is protecting you you will not lose a life for the hit the paramedic protects. If you incur a hit I will notify you via PM the following day.
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 or his night lives. 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 if he is saved, the town won't know who was saved, but I will let the Paramedic and the person saved know if they were targeted and saved.
Mad Hatter - May lay bombs on one player per night (maximum 3). If he is killed he will throw the switch and detonate them, killing the players (if they aren't protected by extra night lives, paramedics, or bodyguards). He may remove them from players at any time in the game to get them back but if a player is killed with one on them while the Mad Hatter is still alive he loses that bomb.
Jack - Of all trades, master of none. You may use up to six abilities from other roles in the game however you are restricted to the very same rules that apply to them when you use them. You may not use the same role in two consecutive day/night cycles in a row. The following roles you may use are: Vigilante, Detective, Paramedic, and Veteran. You may not use two in one day (ie: Detective during day, Paramedic during night).
The Mafia:
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.
Saboteur - The saboteur is a special mafia role, he may disable one players abilities once a day/night cycle (excluding the right to vote). Meaning he tells me this before day starts and I disable that player from using their special role the following day and night. You may not use this on the mayor election lynch and only the player whose abilities are disabled will be informed of the action. You may not use this role on the same person two consecutive day/nights in a row.
Suicide Bomber: Has the ability to suicide into a person killing them regardless of whether or not they are a Veteran or protected by a Paramedic (Mayor and Pardoner are still protected from this hit if Bodyguards are alive). If there are Paramedics protecting the targeted person and/or the Suicide Bomber then they die as well.
There are many roles not listed that may be used in future mafias, but for right now this is what we're working with.
