| In the peaceful Sicilian village of Salem, a dark presence is about to make itself known. For years, the family based crime organization known as the Mafia has been establishing itself in the foundation of the community. Until now, the naive citizens have been unaware of the evil among them. Tonight, however, the Mafia makes its move. Tonight, someone will die, and until the Mafia has eliminated all opposition, the innocent will continue to die. Unless, of course, the Mafia is destroyed first...In its simplest form, Mafia consists of two sides: the Mafia, and the Town. The Mafia's goal is to kill the innocents, while the Town's goal is to kill the Mafia. At the beginning of the game, the Moderator will secretly send everyone their role. The Mafia will know each other, while (in the basic game) everyone else will only know their own role. The game has two phases, the first of which is Day. During Day, the Town must choose someone to Lynch; they are trying to eliminate the Mafia, but the Mafia can lead them astray by casting suspicion elsewhere. Generally, players will vote for someone they think is Mafia (the Mafia will vote so that they seem to be doing this as well, and might even vote for each other to confuse the Town); when a player gets a majority of the votes, they are lynched. Their role is revealed by the Moderator, and it becomes Night. During the Night, the thread is locked and no one can talk publicly. The Mafia, however, can speak to each other privately to plot strategy and decide who to murder before the next Day begins. In this way, they can silence members of the Town who are threats to them. At the end of the Night, the murder is carried out and another Day begins. In effect, the Town gets to kill someone, and then the Mafia gets to kill someone. The game alternates between Day and Night until either the Mafia are eliminated, or the Mafia have killed everyone else (or nothing can prevent the same). However, Mafia and Townie are just two roles in the vanilla game. Depending on the host, several other roles can be involved. - Other Roles:
Cop - Each Night, the Cop can investigate one player (by sending their name to the Moderator), and the Moderator will tell them whether that player is Mafia or not.
Doctor - Each Night, the Doctor can choose one player to protect (by sending their name to the Moderator). If the Mafia (or anyone else) tries to kill that player, that kill will be prevented.
Vigilante - Each Night, the Vigilante may kill another player (by sending their name to the Moderator).
Mason - The Masons are a group of players who are confirmed to each other as Town and can talk to each other at Night.
(All of these roles are generally Town-aligned.)
Serial Killer - The Serial Killer (often abbreviated as SK), like the Vigilante, may kill another player each Night (by sending their name to the Moderator). However, the Serial Killer is not on the Town's side or the Mafia's side. The Serial Killer wins when everyone else is dead.
Multiple Families - On occasion, in larger games there may be more than one group of Mafia. These act independently of one another, and must kill the other group as well as the Town in order to win.
Roleblocker - Each Night, the Roleblocker can choose a player. That player will be prevented from using their Night choice, if they have one. (Roleblocker has been known to be a Town role as well as a scum role.)
General Rules to Follow: 1 : Mafia is a pretty big time commitment with games lasting around a week (more or less). Please do not sign up if you don't want to play or don't think you can participate mid-game (unless you can find someone who isn't already participating to sub-in for you). 2 : Please do not ragequit and get yourself intentionally modkilled. Do not complain about the role you were given either. 3 : Do not post in a game you are not involved in or have already been killed in. (Other rules are subjective to whoever hosts the game. The first game, if this gets enough support, will be hosted by myself so we can get a general idea of what is going on). If any of the above hasn't been clear enough and you still don't know what to do, here is a simple flash video that will provide help --- http://cataldo.freeshell.org/mafia/mafiascum04.swf If you are interested, please post your name below. If you have any other questions (even after reading this thread as well as viewing the flash video), please post them below. | |

| I'm definitely interested. I've always been a fan of mafia and I've played and hosted a few of my own games, so I'll put my name down for this. | |

| Sure, yeah count me in. I'll say to Slymr and a few others later and maybe get a few others. I've actually played a variant of this game in person before with a group of people so I'm fairly sure I'd know what I'm doing. | |
