Newbie Mini Mafia XL
+ Show Spoiler [Important Posts] +
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 (except your role PM).
- 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.
Smurfs:
No smurfs.
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).
- 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.
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:
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 00:00 GMT (+00:00)) will not count. Currently the deadline is 00:00 GMT (+00:00), but that may be subject to change. Actions/votes will be accepted up to the posted time, but not after (23:59 GMT (+00:00) is fine but not 00:00 GMT (+00:00)).
Credits:
Thanks to anyone who has ever hosted a game. This list grows ever longer.
Thanks to everyone who helped balance this game.
Thanks to cohost.
Thanks to coaches.
Thanks to players.
If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so. I will not compensate for ignorance!

Setup Information
Overview:
The setup is a semi-open setup for 12 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. Some of the roles may have limits on the number of times they may be used. This will be specified in the role PM. 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. There will be 9 fatties and 3 health nazis.
Fattie Roles
Coach Potato (Vanilla Townie)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are a Coach Potato. You like to watch tv and eat pizza. That's about it really.
WoW Raider (Mason)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] + You are a World of Warcraft Raider. WoW consumes your life so you do very little else other than eat. Your best friend comes on raids with you every day, so you may communicate privately with another fattie; a QT has been provided for you at (linkhere). You are confirmed fatties to each other.
Genetic Fattie (Detective)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are a Genetic Fattie. So, you are one of the few whose genes legitimately make you fat. Or so you say, in between slyly stuffing your face with Twixes. At any rate, your slyness means that once/every night you may sneak into another player's house to have a peak in their fridge, and find out if they are either a Health Nazi or a Fattie.
Techie (Doctor)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are a Techie. You have a mastery of computers and little need for exercise; the cyber world is your domain. Once per night, you may visit another player and utilise your technical wizardry to make their home safer for the night, protecting them from one KP. Neither you nor your target will be informed of successful saves from a hit. You may not save the same person two nights in a row.
Fast Food Junkie (Roleblocker)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are a Fast Food Junkie. Pizza, curry, McDonalds, Burger King, whatever! You'll eat them all, often at the same time. Anyways, once per night you may get infinite amounts of fast food delivered to another player's house, preventing them leaving through sheer weight of chicken pieces and fries. Lovely.
World Record Fattie (Vigilante)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are a World Record Fattie. You have somehow made it into the Guinness World Book of Records for your sheer weight. Once during the game, you may roll over and smother someone so they suffocate. What a way to go. If you are roleblocked, you may have another go at rolling on to someone another night.
Health Nazi Roles
Gym Bunny (Goon)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are a Gym Bunny. You have no special powers, other than the fact that you like to keep in shape and abhor people who don't. You may talk with your friend(s) (name(s) here) at any time in private by any means you wish; for your convenience, a QT has been provided at (link)
Government Do-gooder (Roleblocker)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are a Government Do-gooder. You're in a position of power so you're going to do what you can to end the obesity menace. Once per night you can choose to use your bureaucratic connections to have a fattie thrown in the cells for a night, and so they will obviously not be able to perform any of their horrendously fat actions. You may communicate privately with your friend(s) (name(s) here) in any manner you wish; a QT has been provided at (link here) for your convenience.
marvellosity (Godfather)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] + You are marvellosity, a member of the gay elite. Really all these fatties are just a complete eye-sore and they need to be eradicated, because you don't wanna have sex with that shit. Anyway, because you're a cunning so and so, you keep many unhealthy desserts in your fridge, so that any Genetic Fattie who peaks in your fridge will think you are in fact a Fattie. You may also communicate privately with your friend(s) name(s) here in any manner you wish. A QT has been provided at (link here) for your convenience.
Nutritionist (Framer)
+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] + You are a Nutritionist. You like to count every single calorie, and so should everyone else. Anyhoo, for some totally arbitrary reason, once per night you may enter a person's house, and put whatever you like in someone's fridge. Or perhaps take stuff out! Your target will therefore show up as the opposite alignment to any Genetic Fattie who chooses to root around their fridge for that night only. You may not target yourself, but you may target your fellow Health Nazis. You may also communicate privately with your friend(s) (name(s) here) in any manner you wish. A QT has been provided at (link here) for your convenience.
Notes
If two roleblockers target each other, they are both informed. If a roleblocker targets a jailer and the jailer targets someone else, the jailer's action will not go through.
Masons who are roleblocked will not be prevented from communicating with their partner(s).
One person on the mafia team may carry out the kill each night. The mafia can choose not to kill. The mafia can kill each other. If the mafia member chosen to kill on a particular night is roleblocked, no kill will occur. A mafia member may use his ability and kill in the same night.
There are no hit notifications in this game.
All roleblocks will result in the target being notified.
If there are any questions about the setup, they may either be PMed to me or posted in the thread in bold green text

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!

Newbie games recently have struggled to even fill 9 players, so I thought I was being ambitious with 12 :p
If there's a good take-up, I can expand the game to 16 no problem.

HAY NEWBIES. If you're ready for the big leagues you should totally play/sign up for LXI, otherwise I would definitely recommend getting as much practice as you can get in these newbie games. I personally wish I could still play in them.
>.<

If it hasn't started in a little over a week, I may in, perhaps haha. (Higher likelihood of having the necessary time)
Unless that ends up being the case though~ /obs

Obzy, I'm kinda tempted to add you to the playerlist against your will.
