Hello reader. This is a... pagebreak! To... rest your eyes!

[1] INFORMATION DESK
[1.01] Rules & Tips
Are you a first timer to TL Mafia? Need help getting started with general tips? Not sure on how to use PMs in PM games? The main thread that any beginner should read before getting started, the General Guide to Playing Mafia provides answers for all these questions as well as much more!
[1.02] Updated OP
Want to host a Mafia game but don’t know how to do it? Need some help with your OP? Wonder how those huge posts regarding rules and roles are made up? Have no fear! A template for games has been made and can be used to both start up a regular game as well as to be edited for themed games.
[1.03] Active Mafia Game List
Want to know which games are currently conducting signups and which ones are coming up? What to know if it’s possible for you to host a game? This thread lists all that and more! Be sure to check it to see if your favorite game is going to start soon or not! If you want to host a game or are thinking about hosting a game, post in this thread as well and your game will be added to the queue.
[1.04] Ban List
What happens when you’re inactive in a game? Do TL mods come into the Mafia subforum to lay down the law? And for that matter, what IS the law? This thread helps the hosts keep track of banned players for the mafia games as well as informed us all HOW we can act to NOT get banned. Bans can also be disputed here. The Ban List is currently managed by Blazinghand.
[1.05] IRC Channel
Bored? Did you just die in your current game and don't know what to do with yourself? Want to talk to people who will understand what you are talking about when you talk about a three recruiter no flip setup? Join this channel, to discuss general game theory, past games or just chat with other mafia players. There’s always someone who wants to talk about either mafia, the current results of the proleague, or something entirely different.
[1.06] Player Replacement
If you're hosting a game, did a player who signed up abruptly go inactive or suddenly need to leave the game? In that case, advertise here that you're seeking out a replacement to take that player's place in your game. Simply let everyone know which game you're hosting and how many players you are seeking to replace. While you are not guaranteed to find a replacement using this thread, it still serves as a good place to notify the general community that you are looking for new players to substitute into an already-active game.
[1.07] Coaching Requests
Whether you're hosting a game in which you'd like players to have coaches or you're playing in a game and wish to improve by learning from more experienced players, this is a good place to start asking for coaches to sign up for your game. Coaches can help guide and instruct players of all ranges of experience, from the newbies playing their first few TL Mafia games or the long-time players who realize they need to take that extra step to perform well in a game. If you're looking for a coach, simply PM the host and they will try to accommodate you.
[1.08] Shadowing Requests
If you feel that you're not quite ready to jump right in and start playing, shadowing is also an option. Shadowing is where another player plays the game, while discussing the game with you privately. This gives you an idea regarding how to play and what things to look for and can be a great learning experience. Shadowing is not allowed in all games, so make sure you check with the host ahead of time. If you don't have a player in mind to shadow, you can ask for volunteers in the game thread or the thread below and someone will be happy to work with you in most cases.

This is why you reserve posts when you make a topic like this, so idiots like me don't think "hey its going to be one huge post, let me poke him as he's editing things in" and ruin your formating.
To clarify, you post the first post and then immediatly post 3-4 reserved spots and then edit in, rather than making the posts one at the time, because I (incorrectly) assumed you we going with one huge post for the library.
EDIT: The formating for the minis seems to be screwed up, I think a [spoiler] tag was misplaced.

Yeah...I probably should have made a bunch of "Reserved" posts to begin with.  I actually had everything ready to be posted one after the other, so I was initially prepared to just copy-paste and post each section within a minute or two of each other. But then, when I was previewing the Information Desk just before it was about to go up, I noticed that I hadn't written up a neat little description for the Player Replacements thread. I figured it'd only take five minutes to write and didn't think that anyone was going to respond so quickly. Lesson learned!
Edit: Misplaced spoiler tags? Me? Never!! (By which I mean, thanks for catching that, GMarshal. One reason why I wanted to break the library up into separate posts was because that way, one misplaced tag doesn't completely ruin the entire post.)

Something that would probably be really helpful for recording past games is if hosts would remember to update the important posts section upon completetion of a game. Also, remembering to include a final role list would be pretty useful. Currently, there are a lot of games that have a partially updated list in the OP, but you have to search through the thread if you want to find the roles of anybody that survived to endgame. Thanks for update chaoser/dreamflower.

TL Mafia XLV
+ Show Spoiler +- Links to the OP/Day/Night:
+ Show Spoiler +
- Results:
+ Show Spoiler +
- Summary:
+ Show Spoiler +XLV was hosted by Kurumi and kitaman27 in September 2011. It was a 20 person normal game with a Team Fortress 2 theme. The game included a mute mechanic, which restricted certain players from responding to pms. Mafia got off to a rough start on day one when Palmar, the mafia pyro, accidentally quoted an incorrect role pm and was quickly lynched. Things took at turn for the worse for town, as the day one lynch was followed by four consecutive mislynches. However, Kenpachi, the town Spy, came to the rescue with two excellent vigilante shots on jcarl and DropBear. On the final day, four players remained, with Nisani201 managing to dodge the lynch using a set of forged pms, resulting in a scum victory.
- Role List:
