Surprisingly Normal Mini Mafia I + 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 / 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 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. Cheating is not tolerated here. The punishment will be severe.
Posting: 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.
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 modkilled.
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.
Editing: Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be modkilled. 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 have to edit anything
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.
Play to win.
You have been warned. + Show Spoiler +Something life-ending this way comes.
Voting rules: 1. Voting is done in this thread. Do not PM me your vote. 2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote Qatol. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I will update vote counts whenever I get the chance. 3. No conditional voting. 4. You may vote for yourself. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game. 5. In the event of a tie the person with the most votes first is lynched 6. Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain.
Signups: This game is open to new players only, specifically those who did not get into XXXVIII Signups will remain open until all 9 spots have been filled
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.
Clues: There are no clues.
PMs PMs are not allowed in this game.
Time Cycle: This game will follow a 24 hour night/48 hour day cycle. In case I am not able to post around deadline, any votes after the 48 hour mark will not count and the game will be put on halt until the night post is up. Currently the deadline is 10 PM EST, but that is subject to change.
Credits: Thanks to anyone who has ever hosted a game. This list grows ever longer. Thanks to everyone who helped balance this game.
If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so. I will not compensate for ignorance!

The setup is F11; one of the following four setups is to be randomly chosen and used:
Set Up: 1 Mafia Role Blocker, 1 Mafia Goon, 5 Town, 1 Medic, 1 Detective 1 Mafia Role Blocker, 1 Mafia Goon, 7 Town 2 Mafia Goon, 1 Medic, 6 Town. 2 Mafia Goon, 1 Detective, 6 Town.
You will not know which setup is chosen.
Roles:
Townie You are just a normal player with no night actions. All you can do is vote during the day. But the town needs you to win so be active!
Detective You can make night investigations. Once per night you may ask for the alignment of any player. Alignments are either Town or Mafia. You are always sane. Alignment checks come back with the next day post.
Medic You have the power to save lives. Once per night you can watch a player. If your target is attacked, you will block one hit aimed at them. If you make a successful save, both you and your target will be notified of the save. You cannot save yourself.
Mafia Your goal is to eliminate everyone else in the town. Your ability, as a group, is killing off whomever you decide on at night and knowing the role of each other player in your mafia. You may kill your own members. Mafia killing power is always 1 until there are no mafia remaining.
Roleblocker You are a mafia member who has the ability to prevent a player from performing a night action. Once per night, you may roleblock a player, and your target will be unable to perform night actions for that night. Your target will be informed that they have been roleblocked (even if they didn't have a night action). You do not have to use your action every night.
PLAYER LIST: 1. Forumite 2. VarpuliS 3. elmizzt 4. Senj (Day 1 lynch) 5. sandroba 6. Zorkmid 7. Shcoleosis (Mafia Roleblocker) (Day 2 lynch) 8. Eternalmisfit 9. Vain
Replacement List 1. 2. 3.
1 of 2 MAFIA remaining: ? of ? Goons alive 0 of 1 Roleblockers alive
6 of 7 TOWN remaining: ? of ? Medics alive ? of ? Detectives alive
RibirthOfLegend will be serving as a neutral advisor, he is a veteran player and has plenty of experience so if you have any questions about general play stiles, scumhunting or being mafia feel free to PM him. Thank you RoL!

UR DOIN IT WRONG! An F11 set up doesn't have 11 players, it has 9 O_O. Mafia is at a huge disadvantage in this set up. Assuming their KP is 1.

I doubt this will be full before Friday, and at the earliest it would start on thursday, it would mean you start 24 hours late, but that should be ok...

Just checking, once someone is lynched or night-killed, their role will be made public, right?

GMarshal, you might want to PM the people who just got access and tell them about this game. I'm guessing a lot of them just haven't realized that they have access, especially if they don't use the forum index much.

EDIT: done, I started with 8 or so people, if not enough respond I'll grab more.

What ever happen to having a Mayor?!

From what I understand, wouldn't a mayor be really overpowered in a 9 person game. just doing the math: If a mafia gets voted mayor, mafia will have 4 lynch votes. once a single townie is dead, it becomes impossible for the mafia to loose, because they can force lynches with majority (ties are decided by who gets the votes first, which the mafia could arrange easily).
Maybe if mayor gets less votes?
