Welcome to Mafia, class!
Yes welcome class to the 5th nub game! I'm the moderator this round to make sure you all play nice and safely. Today class we're playing the infamous game of mafia...whats this? Tommy, what are you doing with that gun? Oh my, you really shouldn't be playing with that!
Oh well, I guess if the kids are only playing with the guns they should be alright. Please remember that this is a very competitive class, and we will be removing some of the kids from the class by voting in the lynch voting thread each time a day phase goes by. I should also mention that you will have a mentor assigned to you help you gain the ropes of the game, a coach if you will. Its up to you, the kids, to choose who won't be in the play ground tomorrow! And remember, have fun!
The coaches are Dolby, SarasaKat, Cory, Panda1376 and Call me Daniel

Endgame
In its simplest form, Mafia is a game of the uninformed majority versus the informed minority. To elaborate, the game is typically divided into two teams: the Town and the Mafia. Mafia know who each other are, and can coordinate their actions privately. Town players on the other hand don't know anything other than their own role. To compensate, there are many more Town than Mafia. The objective of the game is for Town to eliminate by killing or lynching all the Mafia before it is too late. The game is divided into repeating phases of Day and Night. Day revolves around voting for a player to be lynched. Night is reserved for the Mafia to make their kills and certain players to use their special abilities.
*I'd also like to note that this excepts ALL players who consider themselves not skilled enough at mafia, not comfortable/need practice for their playstyle, and are generally just completely new to the game.
Be warned - Mafia requires a time commitment. This generally depends on the player, but at minimum 30 minutes a day of solid effort is required. As part of the time commitment, Mafia requires a great deal of reading. Most people are actually quite poor at reading comprehension and playing Mafia is a great way to improve your reading ability, as well as your writing and ability to think and argue logically.
New to Mafia?
Are you new to mafia, looking at this and scratching your head as to how it works? Well, that be the case you should look at this flash game to help explain it to you much simplier then all of this text c: Click the link below!

Set-up information
This game will require 9-13 players. If you have any friends who you think would be interested, refer them to the game! This is actually a really fun game once you give it a shot, let your friends know on or off site!
This game uses Matrix 6.
| A | B | C | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jailkeeper | Vanilla Townie | Mafia Goon |
| 2 | Mafia Roleblocker | Cop | Doctor |
| 3 | 1-shot bulletproof | Mafia Goon | Tracker |
For this set up, I will choose 1 row or column from this table. Depending on what I choose, that will be the set-up of this game and it will be up to you the players to work with whatever set-up was chosen. For example: if I were to choose row 3, then the game would feature 1 Mafia goon, a 1-shot bulletproof, and a Tracker. If I chose this, then the rest of the roles would be filled up with Vanilla townies and 1-2 extra Mafia Goons. For your convenience, I have placed all of the Role PM's in the following spoiler~

Game set-up rules
PMs:
PMs and other out-of-thread communication are NOT allowed UNLESS you are explicitly told otherwise. Any players doing so will be modkilled without warning.
Activity:
You must contribute one substantial post at least once every full day/night cycle. This means that if you only make one post, it needs to be more substantial than simply saying "I agree" or "RIP". If you post multiple times, this rule may may be less strict. There may be exceptions to this if day/night phases progress rapidly at any stage in the game.
Replacements:
This game uses replacements. Replacements will be made up until the end of Night 2.
Time Cycle and Phases:
The game will generally follow a 48 hour day and 24 hour night cycle. If I am not online and available to post when a phase is set to end, the game will be paused until I can post. No actions will be accepted during this period. The final deadline will always be 8:00 PM CDT. (9 PM EDT, there will be a counter this game).
Day:
During Day, the town must choose a lynchee. If the number of votes reaches Majority, that person is lynched. Day will always be 48 hours long.
Night will follow after the lynch post has been published by me.
Night:
During Night, you can send in night actions. Night always ends after 24 hours, regardless of when all actions are submitted. This to prevent activity speculation as to who used what.

General Mafia 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 handing 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 timings to try and work out roles.
5. Posting or sharing any PM you receive from a host without permission.
6. Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
7. Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
8. Offering favours/items/bells outside of the game for a ingame information.
9. Sharing accounts with other players.
10. 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.
11. Posting a false 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.
YOU MAY ONLY COPY AND PASTE TEXT FOR USE AS EVIDENCE. POSTING SCREENSHOTS OR ANY OTHER NON-TEXT EVIDENCE IS CONSIDERED CHEATING. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS EVIDENCE THAT IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE FOR ALL PLAYERS TO CHECK (eg. post counts in a thread). IT IS BEST IF YOU CHECK WITH ME FIRST.
Cheating is not tolerated here as it ruins the game for everyone. The mods and admins here CAN take action.
Mod Font:
This is the mod colour. It is reserved for the host. Please do not use it.
Question Font:
This is the question colour. Use it to ask the host questions about the rules in public. You can also PM me.
Spam:
Strategic spam is acceptable, within reason.
Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be modkilled. While I ask for everybody to post as concisely as possible, post again if you have to edit anything. The board software automatically merges the posts anyway.
Wisdom of the Crowds
WoTC is In effect this game. If a player has over 4 WoTC votes on them, they will not be allowed in the game. Please send these votes in via PM to me.
Inappropriate posts:
Mafia games can get heated and emotional at times. Please keep it civil and remember that what happens in Mafia should stay in Mafia. Don't let things wash over to the rest of the forum, it's only a game.
Observers' Chat:
While spectators will be fuelling speculation, and dead players will be keen to give valuable "insight" into the game, please refrain from revealing game-changing information (eg. the identities of your fellow Mafia). Speculate, theorise and express bewilderment at dumb plays all you want, but remember that the chat is not leakproof and game-ruining information CAN get out.
Encryption: Don't do it.
Play to win.
You should try your best to help your team win while you are alive and in the game. Clearly not playing towards your win objective will be grounds for a modkill and personal ban from me. 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. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. PM the host if you need to leave the game.
You have been warned.
Voting rules
1. This game uses Plurality Lynch. Whenever a player has the most votes on them at the end of a day phase, they are lynched and out of the game til it ends.
2. Voting will be done in the voting thread: [link]
3. Please use the format: ##VOTE: Username. I'm not requiring this, but it makes it easier for me to notice.
