Yuma (Mini) Mafia
+ 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. I will not compensate for ignorance.
Rules:
Cheating:
Cheating includes (but is not limited to):
1. Posting after death. You may have one polite goodbye post, but it may not contain any potentially game-changing information.
2. Ruining the game by doing something like hand out your mafia's member list to the town.
3. Logging on to someone else's account to get their role or looking over someone's shoulder to get their role.
4. Comparing role PM times to determine roles.
5. Posting screenshots of your inbox.
6. Posting or sharing any PM you receive from a host.
7. Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
8. Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
9. Betting items outside of the game in exchange for in-game benefits.
10. Sharing accounts with other players unless cleared by the host in advance. Otherwise, only you may post on your account.
11. Breadcrumbing the specific phrasing of your role PM. Do not compare the phrasing in your role PM to prove your alignment. You can claim the abilities you have, but you can't use the specific phrasing of your role PM.
12. Posting a false role PM phrased as if you received it from the host. You can still fake roleclaim, but you cannot make it look like you are posting a PM you received from the host.
Cheating is not tolerated here. The punishment will be severe.

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. Please do us a favor and read the rules before you ask anything.
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 EITHER, you will be warned via PM, and modkilled after a second offense, of any magnitude (meaning at my discretion; just post and vote so that I don't start scrutinizing you and/or modkilling at "first offense" when it is really a double offense kthx) Also, your vote does count as your daypost.
Smurfs:

This being said, I have a fun little smurf pre-approved by GMarshal if someone wants to. However, I will WOTC this; if you don't want smurfs, say so. And smurfing must be approved by Foolishness and GMarsh first as well, even if you are using mine.
Spam:
I am not a hypocrite, but then, I sure push the envelope as you all know. So actually, I am a hypocrite. Darn.
Yeah try not to spam, have fun but there comes a point. . . Let me know if someone is spamming too much and if you are the dude spamming I will warn you and give you a certificate of CHUPAZI.

Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a warning IF YOU ARE NEW. After that, or immediately if I know you, you will be modkilled. This is the one part of TL where it is okay to double post or even
Inappropriate posts:
If you want to post something insulting or inappropriate, change your desires. If you do decide to indulge instead, a host will warn you or modkill you and I will request that you be warned or banned from future games based on the level of offense, at MY DISCRETION (ooh so scary. But seriously, I do have a point at which I will pursue bans). The hosts have the final say on what is inappropriate. If you do not like how someone is talking to you, please PM the host, a co-host,
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 me, {co-host}, or GMarshal before using your report button if you are to use it here at all. Please do not use your report button for anything other than inappropriate posts which you feel are not being dealt with adequately.
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 getting banned. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. PM me if you need to leave the game.
You have been warned.
Out of thread communication:
It is common for mafia (and town circles if PMs are allowed, which they aren't) to use a medium outside of TL such as QuickTopics or IRC 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.
Observers
If you would like to observe this game, please PM me for access to the observer QuickTopic. If you receive access to the observer QuickTopic, do not discuss this game with the players until this game is over.
Voting rules:
1. Voting is done in thread here. Please keep votes here, and only vote here. Do not PM me your vote.
2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote: Alakaslam. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I will update vote counts whenever I get the chance. Also, if you use something like ##Vote: Slam That's fine. Just make sure the nickname has been in regular use and is recognizable.
3. No conditional voting. You are free to threaten with your vote, but don't ask me to count your vote only if something specific happens while you go afk. Either vote or don't.
4. You may vote for yourself. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game.

This game uses a plurality lynch. You become the new lynch target when you have more votes than anyone else.

Credits:
Thanks to anyone who has ever hosted a game. This list grows ever longer.
Thanks to everyone who helped balance this game, the lot of you... I mean Blazinghand & Foolishness :D
If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so. I will not compensate for ignorance! Besides, if I was willing to compensate for ignorance, how would I? I can't rebalance the game with my clairvoyance powers, I was touched by an infidel and lost the magic of CHUPAZI for which I am named. But how would a normal individual do this? Hijole!
