Newbie Mini Mafia XLI + 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.
- 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.
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. Do NOT ask for modkills or discuss modkills during the game
Smurfs: No smurfs. I will not accept smurfs under any circumstances.
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).
- You may vote for a No Lynch in the format: ##Vote: No Lynch
- 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. Type /in 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. 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: Currently the deadline is 02:00 GMT (+00:00), but that may be subject to change. 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 02:00 GMT (+00:00)) will not count.
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 all sides depending on the types and numbers of roles that appear. The mafia win when they outnumber the town (and there is no SK alive) or they reach a scenario when this becomes inevitable. The SK wins if he is the last man standing or nothing can prevent this. Town wins by eliminating all mafia members (and there is no SK alive). Mafia kill power is always 1.
Town Roles
Vanilla Town + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Honeycomb the vanilla townie. Despite your convincing commercials and tantalizing prizes, you are bland and tasteless. You have no powers, other than your voice and your vote. Can you be as convincing as your commercials? You win with town.
Miller + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Honeycomb the vanilla townie. Despite your convincing commercials and tantalizing prizes, you are bland and tasteless. You have no powers, other than your voice and your vote. Can you be as convincing as your commercials? You win with town. Note: Any Miller checked by an investigative role will be treated as a mafia goon. Millers are not self-aware.
Parity Cop + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are a Apple Jacks the town parity cop. Once per night you may submit the name of two players to offer them to eat of the cereal they like. The following day, you will receive a pm indicating whether the players ate of the same colored loops or of different colored loops as this indicates whether the alignment of the selected players is the same or different. While you love to lick the flavor off of your own loops, cannibalism is strictly against your religion; you may not target yourself. You win with town.
Role Cop + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Cap'n Crunch the town role cop. Once per night, you may submit the name of target player to bury that player in crunch berries. The following day, you will receive a pm indicating the color your crunch berries turned after touching the player telling you what type of cereal and what role that player has. Your crunch berries cannot detect if a cereal has turned rotten so you will not receive a player's alignment. You win with town.
Veteran + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Rice Crispies the town veteran. You have been around for as long as anyone can remember and have always made the same snap, crackle, pop. Your greatest ability is being able to survive being made into rice crispy treats; as such, you will survive being targeted by a single kp once per game. You are informed after having been made into a tasty, marshmallowy, non-breakfast snack and after taking a hit. You win with town.
Vigilante + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Count Chocula the town vigilante. Once per game at night, starting night two, you may submit the name of target player; you will remove all of that player's cereal from his bowl and fill it up with your own chocolatey goodness. That player will be targeted with a single kp. If you are roleblocked, your cereal theft and shot will be refunded. You win with town.
Medic + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Raisin Bran the town medic. Once per night, you may submit the name of target player to force them to eat from your two scoops of raisins. While your raisins may not be sweet and tasty, they will protect that player from a single kp. Unfortunately because there are some dried prunes mixed in with your raisins; said player will be on the can all night so neither you, nor the targeted player, will be informed if a hit is successfully prevented. You win with town.
Jailer + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Lucky Charms the town Jailer. Your marshmallows are magically delicious. Once per night, you may submit the name of target player to be given your hearts, stars, horseshoes, rainbows and balloons. That player will be protected from all night actions and roleblocked, preventing them from performing any actions. Your lucky charms are magic so neither you, nor the targeted player, will be informed if a hit is successfully prevented. The targeted player will be informed that they are roleblocked. You win with town.
Mafia Roles
Goon + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Honeycomb the mafia goon. Despite your convincing commercials and tantalizing prizes, you are bland and tasteless. You have no powers, other than your voice and your vote. Can you be as convincing as your commercials? You win with mafia.
Roleblocker + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Cookie Crisp the mafia roleblocker. Once per night you may choose a player to trick into thinking your small round breakfast morsels actually taste like chocolate chip cookies. The tricked player will be roleblocked, preventing them from using any ability. In the morning, the player will realize that he has eaten such obviously fake material and the targeted player will be informed that they are roleblocked. You win with mafia.
Role Cop + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Cap'n Crunch the mafia role cop. Once per night, you may submit the name of target player to bury that player in crunch berries. The following day, you will receive a pm indicating the color your crunch berries turned after touching the player telling you what type of cereal and what role that player has. Your crunch berries cannot detect if a cereal has turned rotten so you will not receive a player's alignment. You win with mafia.
Jailer + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Lucky Charms the mafia Jailer. Your marshmallows are magically delicious. Once per night, you may submit the name of target player to be given your hearts, stars, horseshoes, rainbows and balloons. That player will be protected from all night actions and roleblocked, preventing them from performing any actions. Your lucky charms are magic so neither you, nor the targeted player, will be informed if a hit is successfully prevented. The targeted player will be informed that they are roleblocked. You win with mafia.
Godfather + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Trix the mafia Godfather. You have found a way to convince small children that you look and act like one of them and that's not suspicious sounding at all. Your costume will protect you from any sort of scrutiny; any investigative role will return a result as if you were a vanilla townie. You win with mafia.
Third Party Roles
Serial Killer + Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +You are Wheaties the third party cereal killer. Everyone knows your name; no one can argue with your long-lasting status. As such, you can use your famous reputation to choose to be treated as vanilla town by all investigative checks or have the ability to survive one KP once. You, however, are a jealous star who wants to hold the limelight; your name alone can eliminate other cereals from being able to survive. You can kill one person every night, but you don't have to. You win when you are the only player remaining.
If there are any questions about the setup, they may either be PMed to me or posted in the thread in bold green text.
+ Show Spoiler [Setup Notes] +If a roleblocker targets a jailer and the jailer targets someone else, the jailer's action will not go through.
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, the kill will still occur. A mafia member may use his ability and kill in the same night.
If a serial killer is present he/she will be able to choose between being treated as vanilla town by all investigative checks and one shot bulletproof when the roles go out and before day 1 starts. If no choice is sent in then I will flip a coin and choose for the player.

What is the purpose of choosing a Mafia member to carry out the kill? There aren't any watchers or trackers, it doesn't matter if the one doing the kill is roleblocked and he can still use any abilities that he may have. Is there a mistake in the OP or is one mafia delivering the kill just something you do since it's done every game?
Will a Serial Killer be able to choose what role he appears to Role Cops if he chooses investigation immune?
Oh and is the Jailkeeper intended to protect his target from all KP instead of just one?
And before I forget, /in.

Can I in if I am still in another game So long as you have played in fewer than four games here at TL mafia, then you are more than welcome to join. I would recommend however that you only join if you think that you can adequately contribute to both games simultaneously.
