◄ Introduction to Mafia ►

Quote:
Mafia is a game of conflict between two factions, the informed minority (Mafia) and the uninformed majority (the innocents). At the start of the game each player is secretly assigned a role affiliated with one of these teams. The game has two alternating phases: "Night", during which the mafia may covertly "murder" an innocent, and "Day", in which surviving players debate the identities of the mafiosi and vote to eliminate a suspect. Play continues until all of the mafia has been eliminated, or until the mafia outnumbers the innocents.

Think you can sniff out the mobsters?
Think you can trick the masses and seize control?


Sign up to play our intense murder mystery game and give your wits a real work-out! Please be sure you can commit to a week long game before you do sign up as a player. Don't think you can commit for a full week? Don't worry! We will also be running a bystander's game along side the mafia games (More about that below!).

All active players and bystanders stand a chance to win something from this game!

◄ Fundamentals ►

GAME SETUP & TIMELINE
  • Multiple games will group players based on their timezones and/or online availability.
    Different games will change phases at different times.
  • Groups are capped at 15 players each.
  • Multiple groups for same time zone are fine - just gotta have 10 to play!
  • Day Phase will last 18 hours.
  • Night Phase will last 6 hours.

DAY PHASE
  • Each Day Phase will have an 18 hours deadline.
  • Players will cast their votes on who they want lynched.
  • BOLD ALL VOTES. Votes which are not bolded will not be counted. Abbreviating someone's name is acceptable, so long as we can tell who you were voting for without trouble. Vote using this form:
    Code:
    [B]VOTE: USERNAME [/B]
  • Unvotes are not necessary to change your vote. You can change your vote as many times as you like. If you vote again, we will take only your latest vote into account.
  • You can also choose not to lynch anyone by posting VOTE: NO LYNCH. If a majority votes for a No Lynch, the day will end without a lynch.
  • Once a majority of votes on a player is reached during the day, a lynch occurs and no further votes or unvotes will count. When a player is lynched, Twilight Phase will start until one of the game moderators arrive and post a death scene. Players can continue to post during Twilight.
  • If no majority is reached by deadline, the Bystander Vote majority will decide the lynch.
  • If there is a majority tie after Bystander voting, both players will be lynched.
  • If no majority is reached even after Bystander voting, there will be no lynch, except in the case of a majority tie.
  • Failing to post in the game thread for 24 hours will result in a poke. Failing to post for 36 hours will result in a force-replacement. There is no such thing as a third poke. This is to ensure that the game is fun and fair for all players.

NIGHT PHASE
  • Night Phase will last for at least 6 hours.
  • All roles/groups with night abilities and actions must communicate game decisions via PMs only.
  • All roles/group decisions must be sent to both of us before the end of the Night Phase.
  • You can also make as many changes as necessary, and at deadline we will take the last action you submitted.
  • If no action is received by deadline, no action will be taken. All actions received after the deadline has passed will not be valid.
  • Night Action submissions will be accepted starting in the Twilight Phase.


PLAYER ROLES
  • Roles will be sent out by PM.
  • All sign-ups at this point will automatically become a Bystander until replaced into a game.
  • Special roles include Mafia, Detective, and Doctor. Everyone else is a Townie.
    • Mafia: Multiple players who have night actions that allow them to bump off one player (collectively) each night.
    • Detective: 1 or more players who have night actions that allow them to investigate one player each night.
    • Doctor: 1 or more players who have night actions that allow them to operate on one player each night (saving heal)
  • This should go without saying but Roles = TOP SECRET. Don't be telling people all crazy like.
  • Any specific role information will be shared with you in the PM you get revealing your role.
    For example, if you are a Vanilla Townie, you may receive this PM:
    Quote:
    You are a Vanilla Townie.

    Abilities
    • During the Night, you may sleep.
    • During the Day, you may vote for whomever you want lynched.

    Win Condition
    You win when all non-town factions have been eliminated and at least one Town-aligned player is still alive.
  • Regardless of what role you are assigned it is HIGHLY suggested that you change your status to invisible so people can't try to be sneaky sneaks and check to see if/who you are PMing!

◄ Game Rules ►

Rules are strict and extensive for this game to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible.
If this is not your thing, look away now and take your peace.


GENERAL RULES
  • All Menewsha Rules and TOS apply.
  • This is a game. Have fun, and keep the game fun for other people.
  • Please be respectful and courteous to your fellow players and game moderators.
  • Rules may change at any time during the game. An announcement will be made if any changes occur.
  • Do not contact players in or outside of the game about the game unless your role specifically allows it.
  • Do not quote your Role PM or any private communication about the game with the game moderators or fellow players. Any use of not publicly available information is not allowed. If you come across such information for any reason, please send us a PM immediately. Paraphrasing your Role PM is okay.
  • If you suspect foul play, let us know by PM immediately. Do not publicly voice your accusations.
  • Whatever happens, do not ask to be replaced out because of hurt feelings. This game is what you make of it.
  • Play to your Win Condition. (Play to win.)

IN-GAME POSTING RULES
  • Do not edit your posts. If you make a mistake, post again and let us know.
  • Dead players stay dead. They may not post in the game thread once they're dead. Posts made by dead players will be deleted if they're made after their execution, because they're dead.
  • Bystanders can only post to vote in the game thread they're following. All irrelevant posts will be deleted.

ACTIVITY
  • Failing to post in the game thread for 24 hours will result in a poke. Failing to post for 36 hours will result in a force-replacement. There is no such thing as a third poke. This is to ensure that the game is fun and fair for all players.
  • If we cannot find a replacement in a suitable amount of time, we will have to consider a modkill.

MODKILLS & OFFENSES
  • If any player during the game breaks any rules, becomes unresponsive, and/or displays disruptive behavior, the game moderators reserve the right to force-replace or modkill the player. A warning will usually be given whenever a player is being force-replaced or killed by a game moderator, depending on the severity of the offense.
  • If someone is modkilled, their alignment will change to “Neutral Survivor” and there will be no chance of them winning the game, even if their original faction wins.

If you did not sign up before the event, you will not be playing in a game thread.
HOWEVER, this does not mean you can't participate! Check out our handy


~ Bystanders' Game Breakdown ~

Who are Bystanders?
  • If by the end of the Sign-Ups period there are not enough players left over to form a group (10 players), they will automatically become Bystanders.
  • Players who sign up after the start of the event while the game is ongoing will automatically become a Bystander.
  • Bystanders are also who will be replacing players in the game they're following if someone needs replacing, taking over their role. You cannot change the game you follow midway.

What do Bystanders do?
  • Bystanders do not get Mafia, Detective or Doctor roles (unless they are substituted into a game) and can only post to vote in the game thread they're following. All irrelevant posts in the game thread by Bystanders will be deleted.
  • However, they have an effect on the game they are following... A.K.A. The Bystander's Vote.
    • Bystander's Vote majority = 1 vote in the game.
  • The Bystander Vote will the factor that decides on which player will be lynched in the case of a tie.
  • The same rules for voting for active players above also apply for Bystanders.
  • Bystanders cannot take part in discussion in the game threads however they can discuss the games among one another in the Bystander's bar.

How are Bystanders chosen to replace a game player?
  • Must have posted at least once daily in any relevant game threads.
  • If the above requirement is fulfilled, the replacement will then be chosen by order of sign ups.

A Bystander! Welcome to the game!

If you can manage to find yourself a group of 10 players willing to play together in the same timezone within the first three days of the event, you can start your own game.

There was a bit of a miscommunication going on in the game threads earlier. Everything should've been corrected now. Real sorry about that!

You can vote for anyone you choose to lynch in the thread you're following. Sometimes near the end of the deadline, the players can't make up their minds and there may be a tie, the vote from bystanders is important in deciding the outcome of the vote. Of course, it's entirely up to you what you want to do.

I just thought of something. If we receive a major role, how can we go about our choices? And can we murder/heal ourselves instead of a townie?

You can if you want to.
As I've said once before, how you want to play the game is entirely up to you, so long as it does not go against the game rules.

However, if you think you're not able to dedicate yourself for the rest of the game, you can ask to be replaced.

It's right in the rules. If a majority is reached before deadline, it'll be an early lynch and Night Phase starts earlier (if a game moderator is around). Once a decision has been made, any posts after that will not be taken into account.

Quote:
Once a majority of votes on a player is reached during the day, a lynch occurs and no further votes or unvotes will count. When a player is lynched, Twilight Phase will start until one of the game moderators arrive and post a death scene. Players can continue to post during Twilight.
